Old Bookstore (1)
The wrinkled old woman stared at Yang Yin, her prominent eyes rolled slightly, facing this old woman, Yang Yin had an indescribable feeling in her heart: say it's scared, that's not; But let's talk about respect, this kind of feeling can't seem to be mentioned at all.

The elderly woman in front of her does not look like an ordinary old woman, her eyes are very deep and shining with a strange light, which may be the demeanor of the "social activist" that Lin Xuedong said.
But to be on the safe side, it's still important to confirm. "You're the owner of this bookstore?" Yang Yin looked at the old woman and asked.
"That's right, it's me." The old woman did not have crutches in her hands, but she walked a little slowly, and it was obvious that her legs and feet were inconvenient at such an age. "You're going to read a book?"
"I ......" Yang Yin hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Yes." He decided to postpone telling his true purpose, and to get acquainted with the old woman before making plans.
Because she seems to be a very shrewd and difficult person to mess with.
Yang Yin followed the old woman into the store, the decoration of the store is very peculiar, the walls are painted with dark red paint, and the bookcases are all mahogany furniture. There was a large chandelier from the thirties hanging on the ceiling, because it was already dark, the old woman pulled down a silk thread at the door, the light turned on, and the dark yellow light instantly filled the entire space, but because it was a dark yellow light, even if the light was turned on, the store did not look particularly bright.
"This is an old house, this street is very old, this is a bookstore left by my ancestors, and it has not been renovated much." The old woman explained to Yang Yin as she walked towards the only counter in the bookstore. Yang Yin saw an abacus on the counter, and I am afraid that there are really few shops that still use abacus to settle payments these years.
The old woman noticed Yang Yin staring at the shiny abacus and said with a smile: "I know that you young people like to use that charged brain to settle accounts now......"
"It's a computer." Yang Yin interrupted the other party.
"Oh, well, computers are still charged brains, and I don't understand them anyway." The old woman said regretfully that she had already walked to the counter and motioned for Yang Yin to find a place to sit down.
In fact, there were only two or three chairs in the store, and they were all strange shapes without backs, so Yang Yin found a chair near the counter and sat down. The old woman turned around and took out a wide-bodied wine bottle from the back closet, and Yang Yin saw that there were some bayberry in it.
"Look at your appearance, you should be an adult, do you want to have some bayberry wine, I only have this here except boiled water." This time, the old woman finally showed the loving smile of the elders when they saw the juniors.
"It's true that I haven't drunk this wine for a long time, so I'll trouble you." Yang Yin didn't want to dismiss the other party's kindness. There was a big jar of wine, and it seemed that there were not many people who accompanied the old woman here, and Yang Yin wanted to be filial to the old man as a junior.
The old woman then took out two more copper wine glasses from the closet, and as she peeled off the wine bottles, Yang Yin noticed a thin mouse crawling through the bottom of the two wine glasses. It seems that the environment here is very suitable for the actions of dark creatures, but his body structure is different from others, even if he drinks some bacteria, he will probably be fine. As for this old woman, Yang Yin felt that she must have a virus that was immune to this kind of dark night creature.
The old woman poured the wine, took a glass and handed it to Yang Yin, and poured a glass herself, but kept looking at Yang Yin. Yang Yin picked up the wine glass and took a sip, the spicy wine suddenly filled the entire tongue, and the fragrance of the liquor lingered between his noses for a long time.
"It's good wine." He couldn't help but admire.
"It's not easy to meet someone who knows the goods, and a friend of mine also likes to drink this. You young people drink wine for your friends and buddies on weekdays, and there are not many young people like you who taste wine slowly. The old woman looked at Yang Yin and seemed very happy.
"Wine, indeed, is a good thing." A strange feeling spread in Yang Yin's body, and he felt that he was willing to communicate with this old woman.
"You drove it in one of those cars that dig in the ground?" The old woman asked Yang Yin with a frown.
Yang Yin took another sip of wine, put down the glass, and said, "Are you talking about the subway?" I didn't sit on that. ”
"I've never understood what it's like to dig so many passages underground and drive the car down?"
"That is the progress of the times, and the torrent of science and technology cannot be stopped by anyone." Yang Yin knows that many elderly people are more resistant to new things.
"Really?" A gleam flashed in the old woman's eyes. "And how did you get here today?"
"Taxi." In fact, he ran over, but of course Yang Yin couldn't tell the other party the truth. According to Yang Yin's footsteps, his running speed may be greater than the speed of fighting, but if he tells the other party the truth, I am afraid that this old woman will definitely be scared. "I'm in a hurry."
"In a hurry?" The old woman was puzzled and said, "Do you have any special books to read?" ”
"I want to ask you a few questions...... Yang Yin took out his mobile phone and stayed on the picture of Lin Xuedong, he felt that it was now the right time to ask questions. He handed the phone to the old woman. "Have you seen this boy?"
Yang Yin thought that the old woman would definitely go to get reading glasses, but the other party didn't. She just looked at the phone screen for a while, then looked up at Yang Yin and said, "I've seen this kid, it's a high school student named Lin Xuedong, and I've come here to help work before." ”
Yang Yin's face showed a happy expression. "Glad you remember him."
"Of course I remember him, when he came to work, the business in the store was very good, and many girls from nearby primary and secondary schools came to read or buy books, of course, I knew that it was actually to see him. Speaking of which, I think if you were willing to work here, my bookstore business would be prosperous. ”
"This ......" Yang Yin was a little embarrassed, it wouldn't be that he would have to work part-time to let the old woman answer the question.
The old woman looked at Yang Yin's hard expression and laughed. "Hahaha, I'm kidding, you should be a college student, and it seems that you have other jobs besides studying, and you have more than twice as much life experience than your peers, I knew it from the first time I saw you. Don't worry, I won't force you to work with me. The reason why that boy is willing to work here is that I think he is also curious. He looks like a young master born into a wealthy family, and he feels very new to the environment of our street. ”
"I'm sorry to be too obvious." Yang Yin apologized. At the same time, I was also surprised by the other party's ability to recognize people: Lin Xuedong is indeed a rich third generation.
"Apologies don't have to be. However, the reason why I remember this Lin Xuedong very much, in addition to his handsomeness, is that he also came to me after his part-time job. ”
