"You kid, why don't you discuss such a big matter with us? Didn't your mother and I tell you a long time ago? Let you apply for a secondary school, why do you say you have such a correct idea? I see how you talk to your mother when you go back? Cui Shigao's look of hatred made Cui Guilan frown.

"It's all reported, what else can I do? Let's wait until the child has finished the test. ”

"That's all it can be." Cui Shigao squatted on the ground helplessly and smoked a dry cigarette.

At this time, someone came to store the car, and Cui Guilan glanced at her younger brother and niece.

"Dad, I know you're working hard for me and my brother, but that's what I think. If I am admitted to high school, although the family will have to spend more money in the past three years, I can watch my younger brother nearby and help him with his homework. If your brother can also be admitted to high school and college, although you are tired, it is worth the effort. You also know the character of my brother, if no one looks at him, his study is really difficult to say. ”

Seeing that his father's expression seemed to be a little relaxed, Cui Can continued: "And we went to the city today to rent a house to do business, so that my brother and I can also help you and my mother without delaying our studies, why not?" Although I spent a little more money, I was still very confident that I would be admitted to university. So Dad, you have to have faith in me, and I think about it, applying for a military school, not only will I have a guaranteed job after graduation, but also the tuition fee will not be much. Cui Can really thought so, but she didn't expect her idea to change after three years.

Cui Shigao listened to what his daughter said, and thought that it was the same truth, his mood relaxed a lot, and the sadness on his face also subsided a lot. Straightened up, looked at his daughter, who was not much shorter than him, and sighed. "Hey, you're in the right place. I can't tell you, I hope you can be admitted to college or military school as you think. Your mother and I can endure any hardship for you in this life, as long as you have a good future. ”

Cui Can nodded, and the emotion in her heart made her unable to say anything, only nodded.

Cui Guilan had already put away the bicycle, turned to look at the expressions of the father and daughter, and knew that it was open. She was also happy, "Okay, isn't Cui Can going to buy books?" Xinhua Bookstore has opened, go ahead. I heard from your brother-in-law that there are a few more houses to rent. I don't know what's wrong, now everyone is going out, it seems that the money outside is better than at home. ”

"yes, that's what we thought too." After listening to his sister's words, Cui Shigao didn't know whether he should be in favor or against, and his face was inevitably a little worried.

Cui Can looked at his father like that, and felt very uncomfortable. Dad is also a backbone person, and he is very righteous to people and things, and the reason why he is like this now is also because he has no money in his pocket. How else to say that money is a man's guts, especially in the face of his sister who lent him money, he can't be angry. She hopes that she can give her father courage, so that he can not only be proud of his children, but also the pride of men after making money or even making more money.

"Dad, you wait for me here, I'll take a look, and I'll be back in a while." Cui Can left where her aunt was looking at the car and walked to the Xinhua Bookstore not far away. To be honest, she didn't really want to buy books, because she knew that it would not only cost more money, but it would not do much to her now. As long as you have solid basic knowledge, it is not difficult to get into high school.

So when he saw the bookstore downstairs, Cui Can decided not to go upstairs.

"Uncle, how do you sell all the books here?" Looking at the books on the stall, it seems that there is no information or anything like that, but there are a lot of famous books or something. And at this time, there are not many pirated or anything, and it can even be said that there are none. It's worth it to have the money to buy the books here.

"Five dollars for the thin one, ten dollars for the thick one." Because he just came, the old man who sold books was still sorting out the books, and he didn't look up at Cui Can's question and answered skillfully.

Cui Can picked up a so-called thin book and looked at it, there was no lack of pages, and the book was also very well printed, it was a genuine book. Take a look at the title of the book "The Story of Qi Marriage", a famous book, I read it in my previous life. put it down, and picked up another one, it was Aunt Qiong Yao's "Caiyun Fei", which was also classified in the thin one.

Put it down, pick it up, Cui Can has read the books that have been arranged, read a lot, and have a lot of things he wants to buy. But thinking about the money in his pocket and his father who was looking forward to it in the distance, Cui Can reluctantly put down the book in his hand.

"See?" The owner of the bookstall seemed to have set up the books to sell, and finally reluctantly glanced up at the customers who had patronized him early.

Cui Can was a little embarrassed, because he gave the old man hope, but he didn't want to buy it because he didn't have much money, so his face showed a little embarrassment.

The old man's expression did not change much, or it could be said that his face remained wooden. Seeing that Cui Can didn't answer his words, he turned around and picked up the maza on the trolley, put it at the back of the bookshelf, sat down, and looked at the street, as if what he just said was not what he asked.

Cui Can was a little hesitant and embarrassed to leave, but he was a little reluctant to give up these books; I want to buy books, but I'm a little shy in my pocket. Just as she was hesitating, she saw the box behind where the old man was sitting. A wooden box that looks bulky.

"Uncle, how do you use this box to hold books? How much does it weigh to push back and forth? ”

"It's fine." The old man didn't have any expression, even if he wisely saw that this girl didn't have much money and might not buy her own books, he didn't have any extra expression.

"There's a book in there, huh?" Cui Can was very curious about how many books could be held in such a wooden box, and he had to move them around every day, so he curiously craned his neck and glanced at it, and saw the books that were not put out inside.

The old man also glanced at the books in the wooden box, "Well, they are all old books, cheaper than these." ”

Hearing that it was cheap, Cui Can's eyes lit up. Walked over, squatted down and gently flipped up.

The books inside look very old, but the history is not to the level of cultural relics, so they have the value of collecting, but they are not very appreciating. Pick up one, it is a textbook in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China. Put it down and pick up another one, there is a scientific research magazine, which is a book that many people can't understand, including her, of course. Continuing to flip through the pages, it seemed that the books inside were all such high and low books, and just when she was about to give up, she found a book with a yellowed skin under the box, without a title, but it attracted her attention.

Gently pick it up, and its paper seems to be blown away by a gust of wind. When you put it in front of you, you can still smell the moldy smell of the paper. I want to flip it over and take a look, but I'm worried that my hand strength will make it go up in smoke, so I hold it tangledly, and I want to put it but I don't want to put it.

"Like? I'll sell you for two dollars. The old man saw Cui Can's entanglement, for such a quaint but not well-known book, he couldn't tell if it would make him lose his money in the next moment, so he sold it while it was still liked by others.

Listening to the old man's words, Cui Can's entanglement deepened. Two yuan is not much, but it is really a little reluctant for her. The main thing is that although this book is very attractive to me, it is really not a good look. Even when it comes to selling antiques, it's very difficult. Who knows if she will let herself down completely in the next second? And there is not a word on its cover, who knows what is inside?

Thinking of this, she gently opened the yellowed book. The book cover is very thin, and the inside is the same wordless as the cover, but it is whiter than the skin, but the paper is also a little worse. When I wanted to continue flipping through it, the old man was a little impatient.

"Have you thought about it? Don't break it for me. ”

Cui Can looked at the old man who didn't care just now, and then looked at the book in his hand that had not yet shown his true face, and his heart was even more entangled. Are you still afraid to read a book? How do you know what's in it if you don't let you see it?

The old man was obviously a little annoyed by Cui Can's look, "If you don't want to buy it, forget it, to be honest, this book looks like it's catching up with antiques, and I'm not too willing to sell it?" ”

Cui Can lowered his head and continued to look at the book in his hand, to be honest, this book looks like a book, in fact, there are not a few pages, and he has not seen anything in it. Maybe it's just a few pages of white paper pinned together, and it looks like an antiquity when it's old. Two yuan is not much, if there is really content, even if it is the same content as the books you just saw, you can buy it yourself. It's just that these two dollars are really necessary to spend?

"Cui Can, have you bought the book?" Cui Shigao, who was worried about waiting for his sister, came over and saw his daughter squatting at the bookstall reading a book.

"Not yet, isn't that picking?" Hearing his father's voice, Cui Can wanted to put down the book in his hand. I obviously said that I bought counseling materials, but this book doesn't look like counseling materials. Even if the father is careless, this is too obvious. What kind of carelessness does it take to not find out? So she was going to give up.

The old man also saw Cui Can's abandonment, he was a little disappointed, but he didn't say anything more, and his eyes looked away from here. Cui Shigao was very curious about what book his daughter was reading, "What book did you like?" Can I use it? How much does it cost? Why haven't you bought it yet? ”

"If you don't like it, let's take a look." Although Cui Can said this in her mouth, and the movements in her hands were the same, but the book seemed to grow in her hands and heart, and she couldn't let go of that book.

Cui Shigao saw his daughter's reluctance, although he didn't see what the book was, but his daughter liked it once, and he was reluctant to disappoint his daughter. His daughter's sensibility has always made him feel sad, since his daughter rarely likes something, how can he satisfy his daughter.

"Uncle, how much money is this book?"
