There are more and more students in Mengmu Xiaozhu, and Xu Yuhan is getting busier and busier. Now there are no other students on Mondays. At other times, Pengpeng has classes with other students.
At this time, Zhang Zhong usually sits in the rest area waiting for Peng Peng, and occasionally wanders around.
Apart from buying groceries and picking up Peng Peng during the day, he rarely goes out at other times. Even when he goes out, he walks around the community. It happens that while Peng Peng is learning to paint, he can walk around and feel the fireworks in the world.
I walked to the door of a bookstore. There are very few serious traditional bookstores nowadays. Most of them are a combination of water bar and bookstore like the one in front of me.
People coming and going, tired from walking, come in, order a cup of tea, find a book and read it for a while. It seems that only at this time, the busy people have time to focus on the paper and ink.
Soothing pure music was playing in the bookstore. Zhang Zhong raised his head and glanced at the signboard - Green Field Bookstore. The name really complemented the decoration of the bookstore. The entire bookstore was dominated by green, supplemented by a touch of blue and white.
In front of the row of short bookshelves, half a person's height, were many books with their covers facing outward.
It can be seen that the shop owner has put a lot of thought into it. There is a note [Shuquge www.shuquge.xyz] affixed to the cover of each book on the short bookshelf, with the shop owner's handwritten comments on the book on it.
What surprised Zhang Zhong was that two copies of "Jieyou Grocery Store" were placed in the most conspicuous place on the bookshelf, and both had reviews written on them. The two reviews were obviously not written by the same person.
"The careful story structure and ingenious plot design of this book make people convinced. More importantly, the fifth-grade vegetative people, while having insight into the world and people's hearts, are willing to respond with kindness, so that people can understand that in this world full of holes,
There are still people who are doing their best to fill in the gaps..."
The book review is signed "Mr. Zhang".
This book review is already quite long. The owner of the note obviously deliberately shortened the distance between the lines, but it still takes up half of the cover.
However, the length of this book review pales in comparison to the review on the book next to it.
"An inadvertent idea, an inadvertent consultation suggestion, intertwined with the life experiences of different passers-by, diffracting different social images. In the Jieyou Grocery Store, whether it is a funny question or an inquiring questioning, or
Or sincere distress, it is all a reflection under the mirror image. Pedestrians wander in it, at a loss, not knowing the way back..."
This book review is written on a folded card and is about three times as long as the previous one.
The book review is signed as "Ms. Li".
One Mr. Zhang and one Miss Li.
Zhang Zhong looked at the young men and women who were busy behind the bar. They were probably Mr. Zhang and Miss Li.
He took the two books on the bookshelf in his hands, walked to the bar and asked, "Hello, are these two books for sale?"
Zhang Junwei and Li Tianyi, who were making milk tea, raised their heads and saw the two books in Zhang Zhong's hand. Zhang Junwei waved his hands repeatedly, "Sorry, handsome man, the books on the display shelf are not for sale. If you want to buy them, you can go inside.
, there are several copies of "Worry-Free Grocery Store" on the second row in front."
Zhang Zhong was slightly disappointed and said with a smile, "I just read the reviews above and said they were good, but I'm not really interested in this book."
Zhang Junwei's mood was complicated. On the one hand, he felt that the handsome guy in front of him was quite knowledgeable and had taken a liking to his book reviews. He felt like he had met a confidant. But on the other hand, this handsome guy's behavior of buying a coffin for a pearl was really stupid.
No matter how good your book review is, how can it be as good as this book's review?
Zhang Zhong silently put the book back, ran to the front desk and asked for a glass of juice, then sat next to him and drank it.
There were about eight or nine people in the bookstore, including Zhang Zhong. The business was not good, but certainly not too bad. After all, it was difficult for a place like this to be full.
Moreover, their tea is not cheap, it is more expensive than other milk tea shops.
After sitting for a while, when Zhang Zhong was about to leave, the male shopkeeper came over and handed Zhang Zhong a leaflet.
"Hello, handsome guy, our store is holding a reading party for "Worry-Free Grocery Store" on the weekend. I wonder if you are interested."
"Oh?" Zhang Zhong looked at the flyer in his hand with interest.
It has the cover of "Jieyou Grocery Store" printed on it, as well as the signboard of Green Field Bookstore, and the time and place of the reading club are written next to it.
The venue is Green Field Bookstore, and the time is from 3 to 5 pm on Sunday.
After thinking about it, Zhang Zhong nodded and said, "Okay, do I need to prepare anything?"
Zhang Junwei smiled and said, "No need to prepare anything. If it is convenient, you can leave a contact information. If there are any changes to the event, I can notify you in time."
"Okay, do you have a pen and paper?"
Of course there was paper and pen in the bookstore. Zhang Junwei took out a pen and note from his pocket and handed it to Zhang Zhong, who left his name and phone number on it.
After taking the note and looking at it, Zhang Junwei smiled and said, "It turns out to be Mr. Zhang. We are still the same family. My surname is Zhang and my name is Zhang Junwei."
"That's a coincidence. I have some things to do, so I'll leave first."
"Okay, Mr. Zhang, let's go slowly. See you on the weekend."
"See you on the weekend."
Zhang Junwei returned behind the bar, and his wife Li Tianyi glanced at him, "Why did you invite him? You didn't see the way he was dismissive of "Jieyou Grocery Store" just now. He came here just to watch the fun."
Obviously, Li Tianyi is still worried about Zhang Zhong's attitude towards "Jieyou Grocery Store" just now.
Zhang Junwei said with a smile, "As long as he doesn't come to cause trouble, we will welcome him. Besides, isn't this an opportunity for him to experience the charm of "Jieyou"? We book fans must also fulfill our responsibilities and not be too old."
We communicate in a circle, and we also need to promote the author. If we can make him like this book, it will be a great merit, hehe."
Zhang Zhong, who left Green Field Bookstore, certainly didn't expect that Zhang Junwei would be obsessed with pulling him into the fan camp of "Jieyou Grocery Store".
If he knew what Zhang Junwei was thinking, he would definitely smile, engage in support to attract fans, and pull the blame on himself. If Zhang Junwei knew it, he would probably want to dig a hole in the ground and crawl in.
After wandering around the mall for a while, when he returned to Meng Mu's small building, Zhang Zhong held two big bear dolls in his arms.
As soon as he returned to the studio, the attention of several children in the studio was attracted.
Pengpeng was painting seriously with a sullen face when she suddenly saw her father carrying two big bears. She stopped caring about painting and rushed over with an excited face.
She wanted to hold both bears in her arms, but her arms were too short and she couldn't hold them at all. She could only hug this one and hug that one.
Zhang Zhong lifted the bear up and said, "Let's go paint first. After we finish painting, we will take the big bear home with us."
