Yang Fan's first chapter made many readers feel depressed and deeply sad.

The times will always weed out some old things, even if some of them are obviously right. However, for the sake of the development of the times, they can only gradually become the memories of contemporary people in the corners of the times.

Readers who feel sad and depressed are saddened to recall the memories of the physical bookstore that has slowly left them because of time.

Looking at the constantly prompting voice in the book review area and those book reviews with memories, Yang Fan rarely stopped the hand of the code word, opened those book reviews one by one, and read them carefully.

The bookstore not only brings memories to readers, but also awakens many memories of Yang Fan.

A long time ago, Yang Fan was also a boy who loved to go to the bookstore, and at that time, his favorite thing was to pick out an interesting book and read it hungrily on the shelf.

At that time, he never bought books based on fame, but only on books that matched his appetite. At that time, he bought the book only because there were a few sentences or a paragraph in the book that touched his heart. At that time, he was very simple and pure.

Although Yang Fan also goes to bookstores today, his heart has already become impetuous and complicated under the impact of the Internet and various online literature.

However, no matter how beautiful the memories are, they are just memories after all, and what they missed will never come back.

Yang Fan repeatedly looked at the book reviews that could not go back to the past to express regret, and he felt a kind of unwillingness from those sad and regretful book reviews.

That kind of unwillingness made Yang Fan clench his fists hard, wanting to swing out, but he didn't have the strength to let this kind of fist full of unwillingness smash the walls in reality.

He could only release his fist and pound the keyboard.

Just like when he wrote two or three hundred thousand words and had not been signed by the website, he was full of power when he saw those contracted writers mocking him on Sky.com!

As he pounded the keyboard, one reader watched the chapter repeatedly with tears in his eyes.

That reader, like the owner of the bookstore, runs a traditional bookstore that refuses to bow to the times and is on the verge of closure.

He also has his own insistence like the bookstore owner in the article, but his insistence is different from the bookstore owner, because of the geographical location of his bookstore, he receives the kind of poor students and those who love books every day, and he doesn't want to use delicious coffee, exquisite pastries and beautiful membership cards to make those who love to read but have a shy bag feel that reading books also has a certain identity.

Because of his insistence, his bookstore was left with all that was left with beautifully packaged books, apart from chairs, free boiled water, and soft music.

As a result, his business has not improved, and the only thing that has improved is that there are more and more poor students.

Although he was not too rich materially, it also satisfied his spirit and soul.

After all, his favorite thing to do is watch the faces of the students sitting in their chairs or leaning back on the bookshelves at the cash register, intently reading.

However, in the real world of skyrocketing rents and water and electricity, he finally couldn't hold on and wanted to give up this traditional bookstore.

This kind of encounter, which is similar to the character in the book, resonates in his heart, and reminds him of the beautiful smiles that bloomed when he watched poor students read good books. With tears of sadness that he didn't know why, he muttered to himself and guessed:

It seems that he will definitely end up with a bookstore going out of business. Who called him so stupid all along, for the sake of those irrelevant people, he has always made useless insistence, and he also gave his life savings to the members of the Chamber of Commerce to pay rent. Hey! In this era, good people still don't have good rewards!"

Not only did he speculate, but many readers began to speculate that the bookstore owner must have ended up going out of business. After all, the name of this chapter is called The Weight of Trust.

But how could Yang Fan let readers see such an ending? His book will only bring hope to those who are confused!

Two hours later, Yang Fan's second chapter was long overdue.

Many readers looked at the name of this chapter, and suddenly their hearts swelled with inexplicable emotion, they trembled and clicked on this chapter and read it carefully, and then, many of them clenched their fists and looked out of the window for a long time without speaking.

This chapter is called The Power of Trust!

The main thing is that since the bookstore owner has made this decision, naturally, he has accepted the fate of his bookstore to close.

For a month, his bookstore basically had no customers except for the old neighbors who came to buy newspapers and magazines. This made him feel hopeless, coupled with his paranoia and his secretly paying the rent with his pension money, his family also had problems, coupled with the malicious marketing methods and money offensive of the coffee shop, the landlord of the bookstore gave him an ultimatum, and if he couldn't make up the rent of 100,000 yuan within two months, he would close the bookstore!

Because of these reasons, he opened and closed stores every day like a walking corpse, and looked at this bookstore that had spent his whole life stupidly and affectionately every day.

Although, he waited for the day when he was about to go out of business, but he never regretted making this decision!

The members of the Chamber of Commerce looked at him like this, anxious, but they couldn't do anything. Because they pooled money for the stubborn bookstore owner, he didn't ask for it, and their lives were also tightened because of the high street, and they didn't have the ability to shatter reality.

But they also squeeze a little money out of that meager living expenses to buy books in bookstores.

However, their power is too small compared to the "bookstore" filled with the smell of coffee and cake.

When these honest little businessmen were at a loss, Daifuku appeared, and he took a note he had written and put it on the table.

The note was only eight ugly and indistinguishable words, but it gave hope to the small businessmen!

The eight ugly and indistinguishable words are:

Prizes for children's reading contests

So, they got a note and approached the bookstore owner to tell him how to bring the store back to life!

It is a contest for the children in the neighborhood to read and write about the afterthoughts, and the winners are attached with prizes.

The bookstore owner's eyes lit up as he listened to the contest, and they quickly dimmed.

Because, he didn't have the money to buy prizes.

The small businessmen looked at the boss's gloomy eyes and reached out one after another, the small owner of the pork shop provided a pound of pork, the owner of the grocery store provided some toys, the old owner of the noodle shop provided three free coupons in the store, and the female owner of the flower shop provided the best flowers in her shop, etc.!

Thanks to the contributions of these honest businessmen, the bookstore owner has collected more than 100 prizes in this competition!

In addition, these small businessmen were worried that if the day of the competition was not lively enough, they spontaneously made posters in their stores and pasted them in the most conspicuous places!

Although they don't have much money, they have a heart that money can't buy!

Under the publicity of these well-intentioned people, this folk children's essay contest has appeared in local newspapers and TV media, and it has also caused a sensation in the whole city!

The manager of the coffee shop that ran on the side saw the news report. Wanting to learn how to do an essay contest to gain popularity, they prepared expensive gifts, notified their members, and posted advertisements in anticipation of their participation.

With the impact of expensive gifts and no age limit, it naturally attracts a lot of people to attend.

The manager of the coffee shop looked at the people who were crazy about signing up, and he boldly chose to compete on the same day as the bookstore owner.

He wants to completely crush the bookstore owner and let this unsightly bookstore be completely informed!

The contest was fast approaching, and the coffee shop had significantly more entrants than the bookstore owner, attracted by expensive gifts.

This made the small merchants feel angry and helpless.

But how can a competition simply look at the number of participants?

When the contest ended, the manager of the coffee shop casually looked at the essays, and then selected a few of the most consumed member works as the winners of the contest.

The owner of the bookstore strictly selects the contest works, but he is very serious about writing comments to each child who participates, with small gifts.

Half a month later, the two coincidentally announced the results of the competition. When the participating writers of those coffee shops looked at the winning works, found plagiarism and logical loopholes, and quarreled.

All the bookstore owner had was the cheers of all the children, and although the gifts were not worth much, and although they had many losers, the children enjoyed the competition.

When those parents watched their children receive their prizes and saw the sincere reviews of the bookstore, most of them paid out of their own pockets to buy a few books at this traditional bookstore and reward their children.

In this way, the bookstore owner finally scraped together 100,000 yuan at the end of the month under the frenzied purchase and ordering of these parents. It's time to stay open!

The manager of the coffee shop, under the pressure of the contestants who felt that it was unfair, finally bought a gift for each contestant out of his own pocket. Of course, the writers weren't buying it! After all, all they wanted was fairness and a heartfelt smile like the kids in the bookstore next door.

So, the manager of the coffee shop finally resigned voluntarily at the request of the above. When he resigned, he didn't understand why he lost, was it really because he didn't give the game real fairness?

Perhaps, this answer is only known to those children who participated.

The story ends abruptly here, and this story uses the old and new ideas generated by the times, as well as the things that children and adults want, to illustrate Yang Fan's thoughts.

And, patiently, the title of the second chapter doesn't seem to be on the right track, because he doesn't talk about the power of trust at all!

However, that doesn't mean it's not a good story that touches it.

At least, in the eyes of the bookstore owner where poor students gathered, it was a touching story.

"Hey, it's a pity that this story can only happen in fiction, after all, I don't have so many friends who can help me promote my prizes. It seems that the assignment is always the end of the assignment. ”

After being moved, the bookstore owner carefully referred to the method in the book and wanted to apply this method to his own bookstore, but after the reference, he only had a helpless sigh.

"Boss!" a familiar voice came, and he forced a smile to look at the person who made the familiar voice.

The man, dressed in old and neat clothes, had uneasiness and apprehension in his eyes, and he kept stamping his feet as if he was ready to make another big decision.

"What's the matter? Isn't there enough boiled water? I'll boil you some more. ”

He is very familiar with this boy, because this boy basically comes to read books every weekend, this boy is very poor, basically the kind who only reads books and does not buy books, but when he reads, he is very focused.

"No... No... Plain water is enough... I watched today's update to Daifuku is a dog, and I think you can do that kind of contest too. The boy bowed his head and said, "I see... You can't hold it anymore, right? You've got a transfer flyer ready at the cash register..."

"Hmm... I can't hold it anymore... Rest assured... You can also read the book for free before the transfer. The event in the book, where I didn't advertise it and didn't have the money to buy gifts, was too unrealistic for me. ”

"I could... As for the prizes, although I don't have anything valuable, this electronic watch is what I bought this year, and it's still eighty percent new... It's only 35 yuan, but I can give it to you!" the boy said resolutely, looking up.

"We can also spread the word to you at school!" said the boy, as a few poor students who were reading a book stepped forward and took out all the things they thought were valuable.

Some are a watch, some are a packet of sugar, and some are a decorative rope.

Under their leadership, the poor students who had been reading books put things on the cash register table that they thought could be used as prizes.

Soon, the big cash register was filled with these small items.

Although none of these things exceed a hundred dollars, these things are much heavier than a hundred dollar paper bills.

"You... You guys... Why... Do you want to do that?" the bookstore owner looked at those things with emotion, and tears couldn't stop flowing again.

"Because, we trust you, you have been reading books for years in vain. Perhaps this is because he carries the strength of the weight that he puts in us. A poor student said playfully.

Perhaps, as this poor student said, the more trust you carry, although it brings you the weight of trust. But also, in times of your greatest crisis, those who feel you can be trusted will not hesitate to give them all their strength!

In this world, even if many old things are eliminated! But there are some virtues that will never be eliminated by the times! One of those virtues is trust!

At this time, Yang Fan looked at the gloomy weather outside the window, his eyes revealed a trace of firmness, and he said to himself:

"If something is obsolete by the times, then don't remember it. After all, whether it's memories or virtues or something else! they will be awakened in my books by my words to the meaning of their existence!"
