Early in the morning, Zhang Jiaxuan and Zhang Jiaze walked outside the village together, they got up very early, went out at a slight dawn, and walked all the way to Dayan Mountain to see people outside the village coming in one after another. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

There were some refugees from the surrounding villages, and when they came out to say hello, some of them heard that they were far away.

They didn't think anything of it, and they didn't care about it from afar.

The morning of early spring is still very cold, both of them have sandbags tied to their feet, all the way to the hurried not cold but sweat, when they arrived in Wuli Town, the town's restaurants and shops have been opened, and the business of each family is obviously much colder than in the past, and it is the most people outside Jishitang and Baicaotang. There are more officials on the streets, and there are many sheds around it, and the sheds are inhabited by some refugees.

"Jiaze, while it's still early, you go to the county government to bring back our family's relief food, and by the way, ask if you can take your eldest brother's money, if not, forget it. You get the food and buy some more things, go to Jishitang to see Brother Dashan and Brother Dahe, and then buy all the medicine for Yue'er. Doctor Xu and Shopkeeper Yun are the busiest at this time, don't go over and ask more, you can ask the patients over there about the situation outside, don't come out, just wait for me over there, I'll go to you when I'm done. ”

"Okay, second brother, then you should be careful outside alone."

"Don't worry, there are so many servants in the town who are safe!"

After the two separated, Zhang Jiaxuan went to Wenxin Library first.

At this time, the bookstore was also open, it may be early, he was the only one inside, the guy I saw last time didn't see anyone, and only Fu Lao was sitting on the counter.

"Fu Lao, I am Zhang Jiaxuan, who came to rent a book and copy it more than three months ago, this is the agreement made before, this time I came to return the borrowed books, these four copies are copied, this is the book rented before, you check it first."

"Also, last time you gave me an extra month of rent, I said that I would come over in time but it was overdue, you see how much silver I copied this time, and the compensation silver will be deducted in it. If it is not enough for me to make up the money, I just hope that you can rent me other books, and I will definitely come and return them in time next time. "This time it was overdue for half a month, according to the agreement, it was not a daily deduction, but half of the price of the book had to be compensated, and Wenxin Library could no longer rent books to him.

Fu Lao flipped through the several handwritten copies on the table one by one, looked at the young man below with a worried face, and asked with a slanted glance: "I don't rent it to you, you can also go to other bookstores, why do you have to rent it here?" ”

Suddenly asked like this, I didn't know how to answer for a while, but I still said what was in my heart.

"Because you have the most books to rent here, you can earn more money by copying books."

"You're direct. These four hand-copied books are not from you alone, are you? ”

"No, I copied this one, these two copies were copied by the elder brother and younger brother in the family, and this one here was copied by us together." The last one couldn't catch up with the time, so they copied it separately and then copied it together.

"Well, this disaster is not considered as overdue, and you don't have to pay money. These two copies are not bad, according to four taels of silver one settlement, this one is barely three taels of silver, the last one is two taels, a total of thirteen taels, take the silver! ”

"You, you're saying it's not overdue?"

"Didn't hear clearly? Then take it as overdue! ”

"No, no, Old Fu, I heard clearly! I don't take money now, but this time I'm renting a book to copy! ”

Looking at the nervousness and eagerness on the young man's face, Fu Lao spoke: "What book do you want to rent this time, if you rent it again, the lease period is two months." ”

"I'd like to ask questions and notes, and I'd like to add some paper and ink."

"You turn right to the fifth row in front, there are miscellaneous notes, and then to the left, the third to last row in the back row is to ask, you saw the pen, ink, paper and inkstone when you came in, you go to see it yourself, and if you choose it, you can take it to the counter by yourself."

Zhang Jiaxuan looked at the rows of bookshelves, which were full of books, flipped through one book after another, and finally chose two undergraduate examination questions and three miscellaneous books.

"Old Fu, I've chosen all of these, take a look."

"Well, settle nine taels, I wiped the mantissa number, take the remaining five taels of silver and this agreement, don't miss the day again this time."

"Don't worry, I won't be wrong again this time. Also, thank you this time. ”

"Don't thank me, copy the book better next time, try to copy it as well as you can, more money doesn't mean more money."

"Yes, I remember what you said."

Zhang Jiaxuan took the rented schoolbag with him, and thanked him again before leaving the library.

I didn't breathe a sigh of relief until I went out.

He didn't worry about losing money, he was worried about not renting books to him. Wenxin Bookstore rents the most books, and the same is true for books on scientific research, if you don't rent it, you have to spend money to buy it, and the three of them are ready to participate in the scientific expedition, and the cost is too expensive.

After looking at the hour, he went to the shops in the town to ask for the price, and when it was almost time, he picked a few to fill up the most urgent needs of the family, and then went to Jishitang.

Suddenly, he heard someone calling him, and when he turned around, it was Aunt Xiangxiu, who he hadn't seen for many days.

"Jiaxuan, I didn't expect it to be you! I saw you from afar over there, so I came to see you. How is the home in this disaster? Are you brothers and sisters alright? ”

"Aunt Xiangxiu, please ask more, the family is okay."

Looking at Jiaxuan's obvious politeness and detachment, Xiangxiu's heart was extremely complicated.

"Jiaxuan, do you remember what happened last time, I know that I wronged you that time。。。。。。"

"Aunt Xiangxiu, that time my elder and Jia Ze have already made it very clear in front of many people in the town, and it is impossible to take back what they said. After that time, we also met a few times in the town, Grandma Qin and Mingde avoided it from afar, and you also turned a blind eye, I don't think we know each other well now, so don't say it. ”

"Jiaxuan, you 。。。。。。"

"I still have something to do, so I'll go first."

"Wait, Jiaxuan! This time the family has been robbed by refugees, for the sake of me who has helped you before, can you lend me some silver, I will definitely pay it back later. ”

"Aunt Xiangxiu, this disaster, all families are not happy, how can our brothers and sisters have silver to borrow if they don't even care about themselves. Also, we have already paid back the help you said, and we don't owe it. ”

"You have the silver, Jiaxuan, I saw it when you just bought something and got the silver! This disaster, the surrounding area is better than your Zhangjiazhuang, you can help me, if there is no way, I will not come to beg you! ”

"I don't have any silver to borrow, my family has to buy food, I have to buy medicine for Yue'er, so I have to save money for such a little silver, so it's impossible to borrow silver. Also, our Zhangjiazhuang is not having a good time, many houses are gone, and many people have been killed and injured, all of whom have come to receive relief food to live, you still want to find other ways!
