Li Huai found Qiao Ximei, Li Jingfu and Li Yunxin and their little black donkey green cloth cart in the bookstore in the town.

The oily little black donkey didn't know what to chew in his mouth, and his tail flicked to the ground, standing there quietly, looking very cute.

Qiao Ximei and Li Jingfu were at the door, standing with their hands tied together a little cramped.

Li Yunxin is an ignorant and fearless, and he has already entered the bookstore with a curious face, wandering from one end to the other, but he looks very comfortable.

Li Huai carried the bookcase on his back and limped for a long time, already sweating profusely. Looking at it at this time, it looks more embarrassed than the old couple.

It seemed that they hadn't finished buying it yet, Li Huai suddenly felt that the heart hanging in his throat had fallen for a long time, he walked forward with a smile and shouted at the old couple:

"Dad, mother."

The old couple followed the sound and looked over, and saw that it was Li Huai, and they were very surprised:

"Brother Huai'er? How did you get here? ”

"I went home at noon, and I heard from the Cao family that your second elder is here. Cao's stupid mother-in-law also made the second elder angry, I was so anxious that I chased after me without even eating lunch. ”

When Qiao Ximei heard this, she suddenly felt distressed:

"Silly boy, why don't you take care of yourself so much? Your body and bones matter! If you do it well, you are filial! ”

Li Jingfu nodded:

"Your mother is right. What's worth not eating well when it's time to eat? ”

Li Huai's fluttering heart finally fell into the cavity.

Daddy and Mom still feel sorry for themselves, haha, it's good to feel sorry for themselves.

Li Huai took out the bookcase and offered the treasure to the old couple to see:

"Dad, mother, I rushed over after hearing the letter, and I came out in a hurry, so I didn't have time to make any preparations. These books are used by me and Brother Wen, and I thought, if Brother Xian doesn't dislike that this is an old book, it is appropriate to give it to Brother Xian. ”

The old couple's faces looked much better.

It's one thing to save money to buy books, but more importantly, it's the attitude of the boss.

If the boss can have this attitude, it means that he has not forgotten his roots. There is no such thing as not treating a brother as a brother and a nephew as a nephew.

In order to send Li Xixian to school, the old couple have deliberately dressed up today. Originally, there was a great joy of sending Brother Xian'er to the Zhishu Academy, and the two of them were very happy.

At this time, seeing Li Huai's performance, his mood was even more joyful.

The old couple was so happy that they were suddenly radiant and radiant, as if they were more than ten years younger.

Li Huai looked at the state of the old couple, and felt that the stupid woman of the Cao family might have guessed correctly.

If it weren't for a windfall, how could the spirit of the old couple be so good?

A few days ago, I was still wilting, and I couldn't keep my spirits up! Seeing that these legs and feet are about to fail......

Li Huai flattered with his heart, and the old couple also felt sorry for this spoiled son. You have a heart, I have an intention, and the atmosphere between the two sides will soon be happy.

Li Yunxin finally finished shopping the entire bookstore at this time, picked a collection of "Three Hundred Thousand" and a copy of "Liweng Rhyme", and asked the price.

When the young man saw that this inconspicuous little guest really wanted to buy it, he immediately smiled and quoted in a loud voice: ""Three Hundred Thousand" is two or two eight dollars, and "Liweng Rhyme" is three two or three dollars, a total of six taels and one dollars of silver. ”

Li Yunxin raised his face and smiled very kindly and sweetly:

"Little brother, is it okay to wipe zero? I'll give you six taels of silver, what do you think? ”

"Oh, that's not going to work. Our boss is kind-hearted, and in order to make poor students can afford to buy books, the price of books has dropped to the lowest in the county. No matter how cheap it is, I'm afraid that my peers won't be able to spare our family! ”

Li Yunxin smiled: "Since you can't erase zero, then you can send me some tie-ins." Just that kind of paper, give me a knife. Or the ink ingot, bring me two. ”

"This ...... How can this be done? ”

The young man stuttered suddenly, and the sweat was about to come down.

Bookstores are not like restaurants or taverns, and business is booming all year round. It is often only close to the opening day of the school and the opening of the academy that there are people who buy textbooks in large quantities.

On weekdays, it is just to sell some books, or some travelogues, poems, miscellaneous books and other books, and occasionally some rare books and other big businesses, but they are all available but not sought.

If you want to buy a new book for enlightenment like this, and you can buy a book for six taels and one dollars of silver at once, it is not a small business.

If you leave the popularity, even if the boss is not angry when you turn around, the boss will definitely not be able to spare herself.

However, how can you buy a book and spare pen, ink, paper and inkstone?

At this time, the boss laughed and said loudly:

"Haha, what a clever little girl! This paper and this ink can only be chosen, which one do you want? ”

"Well, then choose this."

Li Yunxin pointed to the stack of papers she had just looked at. In fact, she just enjoyed the bargaining process, and didn't expect to take much advantage.

Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper really generously agreed: "The little girl is quite discerning!" ”

smiled and asked the young man to wrap the books and papers for Li Yunxin, and also intimately tied a thin hemp rope that could be carried away.

Li Yunxin took out a silver ticket with a face value of ten taels and paid for it, put away the change, carried the book, and walked slowly to Qiao Ximei and stood still.

The old couple and Li Huai were chatting hotly, but they didn't notice the situation here.

It was Li Huai who was the first to discover that something was wrong:

"Sister Xin, don't waste money, Uncle has brought it."

Li Yunxin hurriedly saluted Li Huai, as if he had just seen him:

"Oh, you're here, uncle. Uncle is well. ”

Then she glanced at the bookcase that Li Huai was holding:

"What books did my uncle bring?"

Li Huai said:

"I have brought all the four books and five classics, and I don't lack a single one. What are you buying? Go back! It's all back! ”

The shopkeeper interjected idly:

"It's not going to work. Books and other items in our store will not be returned or exchanged once sold. ”

Li Yunxin smiled and turned his head to the shopkeeper and said:

"It's okay, don't worry, we won't return."

After speaking, he used his free hand to take Qiao Ximei's hand:

"Milk, you and my grandfather have been out for most of the day, are you tired? Hungry or not? Shall we send the book to my brother first, or shall we go eat something to cushion my stomach first? ”

Qiao Ximei immediately came to the spirit:

"Then of course, I went to deliver the books first! Your brother must be in a hurry to use it! ”

Qiao Ximei took the book box from Li Huai's hand, and got into the donkey cart one by one.

Li Yunxin followed.

Li Jingfu also went to catch the car by himself.

Li Huai's hands were empty and thrown in place, and his face became extremely ugly in an instant.

Qiao Ximei suddenly poked her head out of the carriage:

"Brother Huai'er, go to work in the grain store!

We're in a hurry to deliver books to Brother Xian'er, so we won't talk to you yet. After delivering the book, we went straight back.

If you're feeling homesick, take the time to come back. Mother will make dumplings for you to eat! ”

After speaking, he waved his hand, and without waiting for Li Huai to reply, he retracted behind the car window.

Li Huai inexplicably felt a little lost, Brother Xian went to school this time, but he became the person on the tip of his father's heart.

It seems that even his mother's favor has been taken away by him.
