Takayama picked up a lot of books, and he chose them quickly, like taking instant noodles from a supermarket container.

Maybe he is very familiar with the books on my shelves, I guess in my heart, since he comes to the bookstore every month, he must be very familiar with these books, after all, our bookstore is only 50 square meters......

As he picked up a book, Mr. Takayama looked out the window from time to time, as if someone was waiting for him outside.

"This is Mr. Gu Sui's book, when did Ah Xi start collecting these books?"

On the top of the east bookshelf are Mr. Gu Sui's books, and on the far left of the bookshelf is a set of "Gu Sui's Complete Works", published by Hebei Education Publishing House in 2014.

Two or three years ago, I passed by a second-hand bookstore on Shaoxing Road one day, and saw this complete set on the shelf, at that time I had already read "Inspiration of Chinese Classical Poetry", "Chinese Classical Wenxin" and "The Original Realm of Chinese Classics", these three books were published by Peking University Press in 2012, 2014 and 2016 respectively, and the content of the book was mainly from Mr. Ye Jiaying's 60-year-old collection of Mr. Gu Sui's lectures.

That is to be fascinated by Mr. Gu Sui's books, only lamenting that he failed to know Mr. earlier, read Mr. works diligently, Mr.'s knowledge is so fascinating, Mr.'s personality is so admirable, it is really "easy to meet teachers, difficult to find teachers." ”

Therefore, most of the pocket money during that period was spent on buying Mr. Gu Sui's books, "Camel Nunnery Poems", "Gu Sui Says Zen", "Gu Sui's Poetry Lectures", "Gu Sui's Essentials of Learning" and Mr. Gu Sui's essay collection "Poetry and Book Life".

One can imagine how happy I was when I saw the neatly arranged "The Complete Works of Gu Sui" on the bookshelf that day, and I wanted to take them home immediately.

It's a pity that the boss told me that this set of "Gu Sui's Complete Works" is his personal collection, and he is reluctant to sell it. I was unhappy, but I couldn't force it, after all, if I gave my heart to others, it didn't taste good, probably like cutting a lemon and brushing my teeth.

Recently, this feeling has become more and more intense, and I am always a little worried when a customer comes into the house to choose a book, and when I sell a book, I always feel a sense of loss, and I will not be found if I hide it a little.

"I received this set of books." I confessed honestly, but I didn't dare to say more, for fear that Gao Shan would be interested in this set of books.

I'm really a little too pretentious, how can I run a bookstore well?

When he hesitated, Takayama had already returned to his desk with a stack of books.

"That's all." He said.

"Okay," I agreed, walking over to him, "one, two, three...... Nine books? ”

"Yes, nine copies, it's hard to get too much, I'll have to go to Xiaozhu Bookstore later."

After Gao Feng finished speaking, he looked at my kettle, and then laughed embarrassedly.

"I'm sorry, I forgot to prepare tea for you."

I went to the living room, took a bottle of mineral water from the corner and returned to the house.

"To you, there is no teacup for the guests, so ...... Or the mineral water is cleaner. ”

"Ah, thank you."

Gao Feng opened the bottle cap and drank water, looking really thirsty.

"These books add up to eighty-five dollars."

"Huh? Lixia sells books more expensive than Ah Xi. ”

Gao Shan's face suddenly sank a little, and he said, "I won't tell you anything, I bought these classical literary works and gave them to ......."

"Gifted?"

Takayama suddenly stopped in the middle of speaking, and I asked curiously, "Is it used to give away?" ”

Gao Shan nodded, "A public welfare activity, I didn't participate in it originally, Ah Xi knows, I'm actually a ......"

The corners of his mouth twitched a few times, and he didn't finish.

"That...... Since it is a gift...... Then ......"

"Then I'll pick up some older editions." Gao Shan said, capping the water bottle and walking to the bookshelf again.

"Both...... It's all the same, if it's a giveaway, then ......"

"To tell you the truth, this book was given to children in Sichuan, and I participated in a public welfare activity to donate some books to a school rebuilt after the disaster, but I didn't know that such a public welfare activity has been going on for many years."

"When I was a child, I heard about a charity activity called 'Carry an extra kilogram', and the way to participate was to carry an extra kilogram of books to the local children every time I traveled to a place. I still remember this public welfare activity, but I couldn't participate in it at that time. ”

"Does Lixia also want to participate in public welfare activities?"

Gao Shan's eyes suddenly lit up, "If Lixia wants to participate in public welfare activities, you can go to this official account to find out." ”

Gao Shan took out his mobile phone, opened an official account and put it in front of me.

"Pudong civilization?"

"Yes, you see, there are a lot of public welfare activities that will be released here, and our bookstore belongs to cultural public welfare projects, you can pay more attention to it, and if there are suitable public welfare activities, let's participate together."

I opened my phone and searched for "Pudong Civilization", and then added attention.

Do public welfare? Well, I've always been interested.

Speaking of public welfare enlightenment, it seems that it is really the "one more kilogram" activity created by Anzhu, this activity was participated in by my sister at that time, my sister is three years older than my brother, my brother is three years older than me, my sister has the money to travel everywhere at that time, and my brother and I are still in primary and secondary school.

"In addition to book donations and book donations, there are also some public welfare markets that you can also participate in, or you see this."

Takayama was very enthusiastic about the charity project and seemed to be more enthusiastic about charity than buying books.

"I think if it's a public welfare activity related to books, I'm willing to participate."

"You can go to this address to see, "Xinyihui" social organization innovation space, in No. 555 Nanyangjing Road, Building 4, Lujiazui Financial Block, there are many public welfare organizations, you can go and learn about it. ”

"But I'm not a formal store, I'm not a small business, I'm just ...... Personally. ”

"I'm also a person, we're all public welfare people."

With a proud expression, I smiled at him and asked him to continue his book selection.

The guest finally paid 35 yuan, 45 yuan was deducted for the books sold earlier, 5 yuan was returned for the books bought, and finally made up the difference of 35 yuan.

I don't know how to settle accounts, so I record them one by one, and I am afraid that if I put it in my hand, I will think it is change and spend it without paying attention...... So he put the 35 yuan in cash he received in a small box of oil paintings and placed it on the windowsill.

At dinner that night, my grandfather and I talked about Mr. Takayama, who giggled and said, "This Takayama is a famous second-hand bookseller." ”

"Huh?" My cheeks suddenly burned, could it be that I had met a liar?

A person who loves public welfare has nothing to do with liars in my heart.

I couldn't really connect the two, except that his strange facial expression made me suspicious... But how can a reader judge people by their appearance, and besides, second-hand booksellers are not liars, and I'm not also a ...... Sell...... Used Book ...... Target...... Why!
