I Teach Kendo in Tokyo Chapter 14: What is Cheng Yaojin?
This is the first time I went shopping with my sister after crossing the road with Ma.
Chiyoko carried the bag in front of her, very preciously protecting it - after all, it contained "a huge sum of money".
Kazuma thinks that you are so precious as you are holding the bag. It doesn't mean that you are saying to the thief, "Come on, there is something good here", but he saw Chiyoko smiling so happily, so he gathered himself up to pay attention to the surroundings and let Chiyoko Continue to jump as you please.
After all, in the past April, Chiyoko has no happy memories at all.
There are a lot of people on the street. Kazuma thought we would see a lot of office workers who went to izakaya to participate in "social activities" after get off work, but it turned out that it was not the case. Most of the people on the street were families who dragged their families and led their families to act as groups. , and many children.
But he thought about it carefully. Now, during the Golden Week, even in a workaholic place like Japan in 1980, there are still many people who choose to come out on the first day of Golden Week to share the joy of family with their families.
Chiyoko took Kazuma's hand and headed straight for the newly opened large shopping plaza in front of the station.
Looking at the gorgeous interior decoration of the shopping plaza, Kazuma said worriedly, "The bookstores here are expensive, right?"
"Brother, books are priced uniformly, and the price will not change wherever the bookstore is opened."
Chiyoko said as she pulled Kazuma into the gate of the shopping plaza.
"It's so cool!" Chiyoko sighed, "The weather is getting hotter and hotter, it's time to take out the fan at home."
Of course, there are already air conditioners in this era, but the Kiryu family must not be able to use them.
Not to mention buying an air conditioner, the monthly electricity bill after buying an air conditioner is not enough.
Only use electric fans and ice water to deal with the hot summer.
Speaking of electric fans, Kazuma suddenly remembered one thing: the whole wind chime is hanging on the edge, how can there be no wind chimes in summer?
In line with the season, you have to do whatever you have to do, and you may be able to get the status for nothing.
Kazuma was thinking about it when he suddenly noticed Chiyoko's eyes drifting towards the clothes and cosmetics.
He Ma smiled and said, "Go to the fashion counter?"
"Don't go!" Chiyoko immediately rejected Kazuma's proposal and dragged Kazuma to the bookstore.
A few minutes later, Kazuma stood in front of the textbook shelf in the bookstore, frowning.
Although he had heard that professional books and supplementary books in Japan were very expensive, he didn't expect them to be so expensive--maybe this time and space are not the same as the previous life, and the price of books was printed with an extra zero?
Kazuma picked out a textbook for preparing for Meiji University, and looked at the price - children from poor families in Nima might not even be able to afford the textbook.
However, it seems that those who choose to enter private universities are unlikely to be children of poor families.
He Ma carefully put the book back on the shelf.
He felt the gaze of the store clerk behind him. Considering the price of the books on this bookcase, it was normal for the clerk to be so nervous.
Chiyoko took out the list she and Ma had put in her bag, and said while looking at it, "Brother, which subjects are you not good at? Buy those subjects first. The price is more expensive than I thought. , maybe only enough to buy a few copies..."
Kazuma replied without hesitation: "Our language is not good, and there is history."
"Huh?" Chiyoko was shocked, "You can use the difficult four-character idioms accurately, but you can't use the Chinese language?"
Being able to use four-character idioms is knowledge brought over from a previous life.
He and Ma whispered in their hearts.
"I see, the Chinese language and history should be here..."
"Kiryu-san?"
He looked back with Ma and Chiyoko: "Huh?"
After all, they are both "Kiryu classmates".
The girl with thick-rimmed glasses and thick braids was taken aback by this neat and uniform movement, and she took a small step back, and then she reacted.
"Ah, is this your sister, Miss Chiyoko Kiryu?"
Chiyoko stared suspiciously at Kazuma's profile: "Brother, who is this?"
Kazuma scratched his head: "He's the chairman of our class."
I'm not quite used to being called the chairman of the committee. I always feel that she will micro-manage something at any time.
The chairman pushed his glasses: "It's too much to call me by my job title, Kiryu... and Ma."
The chairman originally wanted to continue calling Kiryu-san, but in order to distinguish whether it was an older brother or a younger sister, he changed it to Kazuma-san in the middle.
In Japan, it is a sign of intimacy to address the name directly, with or without other modifications.
Chiyoko raised her eyebrows and scanned the chairperson from top to bottom like a scanner.
Then she patted Hema's waist hard: "Brother, you are very powerful."
He Ma ignored his sister and said directly to the chairman: "What a coincidence, chairman, you also come to buy teaching supplements?"
"Well, I asked the head teacher to get a copy of the book list the teachers gave you." The chairman showed the book list in his hand to Hema, but compared to the one in Hema's hand, The chairman's book list is filled with remarks.
I took the book list with Ma, looked at the remarks above, and found that it was written about how to obtain various books.
Some books are marked as "Library Collection~IndoMTL.com~", some say "May be available in used bookstores", and some are directly crossed out, which seems to be guaranteed.
Kazuma: "Amazing, Chairman, as expected of..."
He Ma almost said "As expected of a micro-manipulation master", and changed it to "As expected of a committee chairman" halfway through.
The girl pushed her glasses: "Why does it sound like you are teasing me?"
"No, your illusion."
The chairman shrugged, and then took back the book list: "Teaching and supplementary books are so expensive, and buying new ones will cost a lot of money. It's better to find some cheap means to start with. After all, you will need to go to cram schools or something. For extra money, the small stove of the school teacher should not be enough."
"Yes... that's it." He Ma could only agree, "You really thought about it very carefully."
"Didn't you think about it with classmate Ma?" the chairman asked rhetorically.
He Ma's serious response: "I'm considering it now."
"Huh? I thought you've been in cram school since winter vacation. What's the matter with your sudden improvement in English and math?"
Hema started to sweat on the back, and she always felt that if she continued to ask, it was time for her to come back.
"Uh, I taught myself." And Ma, hold on.
The chairman continued to ask: "Self-study? What kind of teaching aids should I use? I also want to try such good teaching aids."
"Uh, use a textbook." Kazuma felt like he couldn't hold it anymore, especially when he faced the wise gaze from behind the thick-framed glasses of the other party, it made Kazuma have a kind of his own little secret to be thoroughly revealed. The feeling of exposure.
The chairman stood on the spot and pushed his glasses: "Textbooks?"
"Yeah, master the content of the textbooks, lay a solid foundation, and then you can build a strong house."
"Is there any calculus in the textbook?" the chairman asked suspiciously.
