At this point, the only way is to re-water the adhesive and allow it to soak through, then separate the two pages and dry them again.

I have seen a documentary about the design of book binding, before the advent of computer typesetting, the words on the cover of the books published in the early years were drawn by the designers one by one, and the book was finally presented to the reader, after a careful, refined and long process.

Since then, I have had a special affection for the second-hand books on these shelves, looking for those handwritten covers from time to time, and every time I find a copy, my fingers gently caress the text, a slight concave and convex feeling, like the precipitation of hard work and love, which always makes me suddenly have a strange feeling in my chest, as if my heart is beating once outside this time and space.

"Lixia, come and see."

As soon as Douzi shouted, I was startled, thinking that he had found cash in the book again, just like he had done last year.

"Look, what is this?"

Beanzi holds a white card in his hand. When I looked closer, it was a postcard. The postcard is printed with the archway of Wuhan University.

"Huh? Is this a postcard sandwiched in a book? ”

Beanzi nodded, "It's in this book." ”

Beans in front of me is Haruki Murakami's novel "God's Children All Dancing".

I'm sure I haven't read this book, I don't read many of Haruki Murakami's novels, and I'm even more at a loss as to when this book will appear on the shelves of 212.

In the past four years, I only came back on weekends or winter and summer vacations to help look at the bookstore, saying that it was a bookstore, but it was more like an external study room that I couldn't put at home and could only find another place to place books.

Because there has never been publicity and no one knows, even if the door is opened to "do business", that is, some people who have bought books at Grandpa's bookstall will come to Grandpa for tea, chat a few words, and finally pick a few books they want and go home happily.

There are also some people who have been introduced to hear that Ah Xi recycles second-hand books here, so they call their grandfather, who asks for the address, and will come to collect some after the appointment time.

But that was also in the early years, and in recent years, my grandfather couldn't move heavy objects, and books were really too heavy for him.

Don't look at the books one by one, piled up together, when moving, it is definitely the most difficult thing to move, and people who have moved thousands of books at a time can probably have this experience.

Later, some of the neighbors around me, as well as my and Douzi's middle school classmates, occasionally sent us messages saying that there was a box of books for you to courier over, so I should give them to you.

We are all gladly accepting and warmly welcomed. As for the scattered guests, the number of people who come to buy books is really too few to be remarkable, and now it is so easy to buy books online, and the second-hand small bookstore is not famous, and there are very few guests who come.

My grandfather's receipt, sometimes I can't tear up a few in a week, I can't sell ten books in a month, and there are more than 30 books recycled.

As for when did this "God's Children All Dance" come to the store? I couldn't remember it for a while, and Douzi said that he had no impression.

"It's like it came recently, and I didn't remember it before." Beanzi looked at the postcard, then flipped it over.

"There are words." "It looks like a boy sent a book to another boy," he said. ”

I burst out laughing, laughing at the beans in a strange tone.
