Xiaoling's eyes widened in disbelief: "Ah? Is Brother Xiong such a person?"
"You don't know, right? Well, so, you kids just don't understand. It's easy to be deceived by people's appearance." Xu Erlong said.
But I was thinking to myself, Old Xiong, I'm sorry, it's not my fault that I set you up behind your back. I have to put out this little tendency of my sister first.
"Well, I saw him crying so sadly yesterday, and I felt so pitiful about him. But in the end, he has nothing to be pitiful about," Xiaoling said.
With this thought in mind, she looked at her diary again.
Alas, it’s a good thing that I shed so many tears along with me. When I wrote this diary, I shed tears while writing, and there were still traces of my own tears on it.
Unexpectedly, it turned out that Xiong Yawei was not so worthy of sympathy and pity.
People lost a tree, but they will soon have a forest.
Thinking of this, Xiaoling immediately tore up this entry in her diary: "Forget it, I won't write about him anymore."
Seeing her actually tearing up this diary entry, Xu Erlong breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, I stepped on a small seed in time, and it was destroyed invisibly before it could sprout.

Xiong Yawei drove forward. When he passed another county, he stopped the car when he saw a sign on the side of the road telling him to add water to repair tires.
"Help me add water." Xiong Yawei shouted at that point.
This is a nearby villager who is smart. Seeing that his home is close to the national highway and there are many vehicles passing by, he built a simple shanty here to add water to passing vehicles.
I saw a truck parked at the door and it was a familiar face. The villager smiled and came over to say hello.
His two sons, one twelve or thirteen years old and the other eight or nine years old, were squatting on the threshold, holding a comic book "Yang Family General" and reading it. They listened to someone adding water and put down their hands.
The little book helped to carry the bucket and fill it with water.
Xiong Yawei remembered Xu Erlong's request and asked these two little guys: "Do you have the book "Teaching You Step-by-Step to Take the College Entrance Examination" here?"
The villager laughed and said: "They are still young, and they usually just read some villain books. How can we expect them to be admitted to college."
"You can't say that. Don't deceive young people to be poor. Maybe they will be enlightened in two years and be admitted to university right away?" Xiong Yawei said: "My relatives' children are like this. They suddenly become enlightened. If they want to be admitted to college, listen
When he asked me to drive my car, I stopped by to ask him where he could find it and bring a copy back."
The other party smiled and said, "Well, I'll go ask it for you later."
"Well, it's just for these two days, sorry to bother you." Xiong Yawei said, grabbing a few candies from the bridge and throwing them to the two boys who were adding water: "Here, thank you for helping me go for a run."
trip."
The villager laughed and said, "Look at how polite you are. We all know each other so well. You just want to ask a question."
The two little boys who helped add water reached out and took the candy.
There were a few extra candies for no reason, but they were quite happy. They helped the adults work here and added water, and occasionally they could get pocket money of one or two cents.
"I'm going to help you ask now." The little guy originally wanted to run to the county town to play, but he was restrained by the adults at home, so he could only help the store to add water and so on. Now.
Given the excuse and opportunity, of course I just ran away towards the county seat.
After running for a few steps, he ran back and asked Xiong Yawei, "What did you say?"
Xiong Yawei is funny. Sure enough, children are like this. They always find reasons to want to play in the county.
""Teaching you step-by-step to take the college entrance examination"" Xiong Yawei said.
At first, he felt that the title of the book was difficult to remember.
You can change it. For example, in the beginning, he taught Xiao Luo how to drive step by step. Instead of driving, he taught him to take the college entrance examination. Wouldn't it be easy to remember?
Teaching you how to drive a car step by step will instantly turn into a step-by-step guide on how to get into college.
"I got it, teach me step by step how to plant rice seedlings, "Teach you step by step how to get into college." The little guy yelled and ran away.
Xiong Yawei smiled and said: "Thank you very much. When I pass by in two days, I will come back to hear the news. I will leave first."
After bidding farewell to this point, Xiong Yawei continued to drive forward. When it was time to eat and found a familiar roadside restaurant to eat, Xiong Yawei followed the same pattern and asked everyone to help him find out if their Xinhua Bookstore had "Teaching You the Test Step by Step"
Will the book "University" be sold?

Xu Erlong is rushing to print books.
Since Reporter Yuan is engaged in this industry, he naturally took care of the proofreading and even found someone to apply for an internal ISBN.
Xu Erlong sighed, look, this is the effect of economic reform.
If reporter Yuan is only allowed to receive a fixed fee of five yuan, he will not care about anything else as soon as he finishes writing his article and publishes it.
But now, every time a book is sold, he can get a point bonus, so naturally he is very concerned about it.
He also wants to sell more.
Then, I went to the printing factory.
Printing houses are usually responsible for the printing and distribution of their local newspapers, so of course they are familiar with it, so taking over the typesetting of sample publications is a no-brainer.
When asked how many copies he wanted to print, Xu Erlong thought for a while and asked for 100,000 copies.
This kind of printing, of course, the larger the quantity, the more advantageous it is in terms of price.
Of course, he still hopes that the price can be lowered.
The cost of printing includes startup fees, plate making fees, printing processing fees, paper, etc.
Taking a single page as an example, if there is no subsequent process, the cost is the printing fee plus the paper fee. Generally speaking, if the quantity is small and does not exceed 1,000 prints, the printing fee is the startup fee.
It can be said that the number of printings determines the cost of printing expenses.
Of course, it does not mean that the greater the quantity, the cheaper it is. When it reaches a certain amount, the cost cannot be reduced and is basically constant.
After all, paper costs money.
Moreover, the state-owned printing factory is such a powerful existence. Whatever the price is, it is whatever it is. It doesn’t matter how much you have. That’s it.
However, when they heard that 100,000 copies were printed, everyone was still shocked by the number.
Print so many?
Including reporter Yuan.
Although he also wants to print more and sell more.
But this matter must be a step-by-step process, right? As soon as it comes up, 100,000 copies will be printed.
