"Have you finished reading that book?" I asked behind Xiaotong.

Xiaotong turned to look at me, "I've read it, it's very easy to read, it's just a lot of dishes, meat dishes, vegetarian dishes and dim sum, and there are very few words in each line." ”

Sure enough, I got closer and closer to the one I had in mind.

"Do you remember what was in it?"

"There are too many fish, there are sturgeon, class fish, river fish or something, pork has tamales, simmered meat or something, by the way, there are tea eggs."

As soon as Xiaotong said this, Douzi burst out laughing, "You are getting farther and farther, and all the tea eggs have come out." ”

"I see, it must be that one. Isn't there a lot of vignettes in it, and then a book written by an ancient person? ”

The speed of my speech is getting faster and faster, and the speed of Xiaotong's nodding is getting faster and faster.

"You wait, I'll find the book for you."

"What kind of book is it, Rixia." Beanzi leaned over to me and asked softly.

I also whispered to him, "It should be Yuan Mei's "Suiyuan Food List" in the Qing Dynasty, and two years ago there was a full-color book, which was beautifully bound, and it should be the one that Xiaotong said." ”

"That's too exaggerated, can you think of it?"

Beanzi nagged in my ear incredulously, "How, Lixia doesn't look like a person with a memory." ”

I:...... Actually, I don't know.

It's just that remembering the title of the book and the appearance of the book seems to be very easy for me, which is probably a useless talent.

"Found it." I pointed to the top of the bookshelf, "Beans, I can't get them." ”

With that, I turned around and looked for a chair that I could only reach with a high pitch.

Beanzi tiptoed and reluctantly took down the book I was pointing to.

"The beans are so tall." Usually always together, but today I suddenly found that the beans have grown a lot taller.

"I'm 181 cm, okay, I'm already the height of a male god."

"Uh-uh, that's enough, don't mention the word male god to me."

Xiaotong had already seen the book we had taken off the bookshelf and exclaimed, "This is it, it's great, it's this." ”

"Wait, don't rush to give it to him." Beans stopped my hand.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"Little brother, did you bring any money? This is a bookstore, not a library. ”

"I brought money, I brought money." Xiao Tong fumbled in his pocket for a while and took out four coins.

"Four bucks?"

Bean rubbed his nose.

"I lost my classmate's book, I didn't dare to tell my parents, I only had four yuan left this week, and my sister said how much is the book."

I flipped to the back cover and glanced at the price: 29.80.

I obviously bought this book two years ago, and I've only flipped through it once or twice, and it's almost brand new, and four dollars is a bit of a small amount.

"Sister, or I'll give you the pocket money next time." Xiaotong pleaded.

"Okay, okay, it's okay, you can take it, it's too bad if you can't get the book at school tomorrow."

Xiaotong happily took the book and thanked me again and again, but I could only say "No thanks, no thanks, really don't thank you." ”

After Xiaotong left, I felt strange in my heart, I think it was probably because the sun was sinking, and there seemed to be an inexplicable sadness.

"Hey, Lixia, you don't want to sell it to him, it's because he lost other people's books, okay?"

"I know." I say.

"Four dollars is too cheap."

"I know, I know."

"Lixia, what's wrong with you?" Beanzi touched my forehead, "Is there something uncomfortable?" ”

"No, no, I'm just hungry, I'll go home and eat, I'm hungry."

I can't put it into words, I always feel like I've lost something, but I'm a little happy, and I'm obviously happy the moment I help Xiaotong find the book.

But after I left the bookstore, I had an indescribable panic, and I always felt that I had lost something.
