The seven-day National Day holiday is either long or short. Li Jianghe only stayed at home for four days before getting ready to go back to school.

He went home during the National Day. On the one hand, he was leaving home to go to school, and he was really homesick. On the other hand, he wanted to come back and help his parents sell breakfast so that they could relax.

But now that his parents are going to start a business again, Li Jianghe is not going to get in the way at home. Besides, before the holidays, his roommates in the dormitory also agreed to go back two days early to visit Yingtian City together.

His roommate Wang Yunli was a native of Yingtian, and he accepted the sacred duty of a tour guide and planned to take them to Xuanwu Lake Park to see what a royal garden is.

This is still very tempting for Li Jianghe, who has almost never been out of the city.

The small county where Li Jianghe is located is actually quite famous.

Maoshan Town!

Of course, this Maoshan is not the other Maoshan. Although they are both in the same province, they are not far apart. However, Li Jianghe's hometown town just has such a famous town name. How can it compare with the real brand in terms of economic development?

There are only a few long-distance buses departing from here to Yingtian Provincial City a day, and sometimes they are not available yet. Li Jianghe needs to go early and wait. If he misses it, he can only pray that the driver will work harder today and make more trips.

What he didn't know was that while he was waiting for the bus, Li Jun and Pang Shulan were also preparing to leave the town and look for ways to make a fortune.

At this time, as long as you find the right way, you can still make money by reselling MP3s, but this is just quick money, used as startup capital for Li Jun and Pang Shulan's next actions.

As for the connections, Li Jun does have some connections. Li Jianghe’s grandfather is a retired soldier. After he retired, he joined the government as a secretary. Otherwise, Li Jun would not have held a public office before. It’s a pity that Li Jianghe’s grandfather is from that generation of soldiers.

He had faith and connections, but he would never use them for his children. Besides, he had a clean temperament, and his position was not high. His connections were all old comrades in arms, so he was embarrassed to look for them.

Li Jianghe's grandfather did not agree with Li Jun going to the sea. When he failed to go to the sea, he originally wanted to go out of his way to find his old comrades and arrange an errand for him, but Li Jun had a stubborn temper. This is not good for scholars. He has too much self-esteem.

, it was already embarrassing enough to fail in going to sea, but now he had to ask his old father to find someone, which Li Jun couldn't bear anyway.

Now that he was reborn, he had put away his useless pride.

...

The bus stop is a few streets away from Li Jianghe's house. It's half past six in the morning, and there aren't many people waiting for the bus.

"Jiang He, are you going back to school?" An old man holding a fan was sitting outside a small newsstand on the street. He waved to Li Jiang He, "Study hard, I've seen early on that this kid like you has talent."

"Then I have to thank you, Grandpa. If I hadn't read the book from you, I might not have been able to pass the exam because I didn't have such a high score in Chinese." Li Jianghe replied cheerfully.

The grandfather of the newsstand is also surnamed Li. He has no children or a wife. He especially likes Li Jianghe who has followed Li Jun to the newsstand to buy magazines since he was a child. Later, Li Jianghe's family was not well off and he could not spend money to buy magazines every month, so he often came to the newsstand.

When reading books, Grandpa Li sometimes gave Li Jianghe unsold magazines and asked him to take them home and read them with Li Jun.

Li Jianghe knew that some magazines were not sold so much as they were left to him intentionally by Grandpa Li.

These kindnesses in life may not be considered great, just like Aunt Niu's small cakes and Grandpa Li's expired magazines, but without them, Li Jianghe's life might have gone in another direction.

At about seven o'clock, the long-distance bus drove over.

Maoshan Town was the starting point of this long journey, and there were not many people there. Li Jianghe walked to the back row out of habit and found a seat by the window to sit down.

Before getting in the car, Li Jianghe bought the latest "Harvest" from Grandpa Li's newsstand. Grandpa Li also gave him a copy of the last issue in 1999.

When Li Jianghe went back to school, Li Jun gave him another fifty dollars, which he accepted without refusing. This was one-third of Li Jianghe's original living expenses. Otherwise, he wouldn't have any money left to buy magazines.

.

After Li Jianghe sat firmly, he took out the two magazines and stroked them. He smiled unconsciously, put the 1999 issue on his lap, and prepared to read the latest issue first.

"Harvest" is a bimonthly publication, and the new issue is naturally the fifth, opening with "Books from Other Provinces" by Zhang Wei.

Shandong writer Zhang Wei is a benchmark for pure literature in Shandong and even the whole country. In 2000, he was named one of the "Top Ten Most Popular Writers in China". But as early as the 1980s, he could not get around that book of literature.

When his "Ancient Ships" was published, he became famous at home and abroad.

The bus jolted forward and stopped for a short while when it reached a town. Few people got off and many got on. The bus was filled with a complex smell like life, which was everywhere but sitting in the bus

After a few minutes, I was no longer aware of the smell.

Li Jianghe kept his head down as he read the magazine. The protagonist of "Books from Other Provinces" is the intellectual Shi Ke. It involves that movement, so the underlying tone of the story is naturally a bit sad.

When Li Jianghe read the book's description of Shi Ke, Yeats's poem flashed through his mind: "Forgive me for that hopeless love/Although I am over forty-nine/I have no children, my hands are empty, I have only

A book." He could only sigh. If he insisted on pursuing his literary dream, this sentence might be a true portrayal of himself.

At this time, a faint aroma penetrated directly into Li Jianghe's nose. This smell was so refreshing that it could break out of the car's smell, which was as complex as chemical wastewater.

It's like, like a sports lottery jackpot in ordinary life.

Li Jianghe thought this.

"Ha, I wonder who can read a book in such a noisy carriage and be so absorbed in it." A soft and playful voice sounded along with the scent, "It turns out to be the tycoon Li from our college."

"Ah?" Li Jianghe turned his head, a little surprised.

A fair, oval-shaped face stopped beside Li Jianghe with a smile.

Breathing like orchid.

Li Jianghe was stunned for a moment. When he came to his senses, his heart skipped a beat. However, he immediately said hello as if nothing had happened: "In front of you, I don't deserve to be called a top student."

Li Jianghe is very skilled in business exchanges.

The ones in front of me are Ruan Xiang, a finance major from the School of Economics and Management, and Li Jianghe. Well, they often have dinner together, and maybe wash the dishes after dinner, which is very common.

After all, they are working as part of a work-study program in the school cafeteria.

When school just started on September 1st, Li Jianghe heard that his indigenous roommate Wang Yunli, who came to school early just to see the freshmen girls, said: The School of Economics and Management has produced a beautiful woman, and this major was not chosen for free.

During military training, pure natural beauties of this level would always be excused to take a walk and secretly observe her. After a few days, everyone agreed: "You chose the right college, but unfortunately you didn't choose the right major. You guys should study finance."

"

When Li Jianghe saw her at the place where he applied for work-study program, it was after the military training. In fact, he and Ruan Xiang had been cleaning tables in the restaurant together for five days.

But for two people who have just entered college, this kind of work-study experience can still bring them closer together.

Ruan Xiang and Li Jianghe are also very similar. Their family background is not good, but they are not introverted. They have strong self-esteem and are eager to change their destiny through college.

"What a coincidence. I didn't expect our two families to be quite close to each other." Li Jianghe leaned toward the car window to make more room for Ruan Xiang.

Mainly because he was so close, he blushed a little.

Li Jianghe naturally doesn't have a watch, but he is quite familiar with his reading speed. "Books from Foreign Provinces" has about 100,000 words, and he has read more than half of it now. Calculating this, it only takes a few seconds from when he gets on the bus to when Ruan Xiang gets on the bus.

The past forty minutes or so.

There is a small light brown mole under Ruan Xiang's right eye, which makes her look very smart when she smiles. She has a small mouth under her small and tall nose. Her eyes are slightly narrow and long, but because her eyebrows are too long and soft, they are not ordinary.
