Chapter 43 You can borrow books with your face
"Xiao Nan, Comrade Wang Shengnan didn't fry the little crab for me last night! She poured the bucket of crabs for me! She is so hateful, how can she waste the fruits of my labor like this? I'm telling you, she's ......."
Early the next morning, Miaomiao called Chen Nan to "complain" Wang Shengnan's "despicable" behavior. Chen Nan was eating breakfast, listening to Miao Miao on the other end of the phone crackling and complaining about Wang Shengnan's various "nos" since he was a child, until he finished breakfast, Miao Miao stopped there.
"Those little crabs are only how big they are, and the biggest one is not as big as an egg, and when you put it in the pot, it will all turn into soup and empty shells, and you won't be able to eat anything. And it's troublesome to deal with, I guess Auntie didn't want to be thankless, so she just threw them out. β
"Oh, which end of the day are you! I'm so unhappy right now! β
"Don't worry, I estimate that my aunt will go to the market at noon today to buy some big crabs for you to eat, and you will wait a few more hours."
"How is that possible! She didn't give me free baby crabs yesterday, she will pay for them?! β
"Your little padded jacket is a little leaky...... Why don't we bet? β
"Bet on what? How to bet? β
"Just bet on whether Auntie will buy crabs for you to eat at noon. Well...... Bet on the words...... If I lose, I'll ask you to go to the seafood dinner again, and this time you can let go of eating and I won't stop you, but if you lose, you have a few days left to review the notes I gave you last month. β
"That's what you said, I bet! Xiao Nan, Xiao Nan, I expect you to be clever, and you don't know Wang Shengnan~"
"It's because you don't know a mother who loves her children~ Okay, don't talk about it, I'm going to the library to return the books."
"Then you go, I'm waiting for your seafood dinner!"
"Then I wish you the last laugh~bye~"
Chen Nan hung up the phone, looked at the wonderful avatar of the mobile phone and shook her head with a smile, the little girl is still so greedy. But it's okay, you may not have to bother to buy flowers and gifts in the future, just send food directly.
Chen Nan went back to his room and put a few medical books he had borrowed last month into his schoolbag, and went out to take a taxi to the city library.
β¦β¦
Chen Nan left for more than an hour before the door of his house was opened. A middle-aged couple, carrying a few bags of ingredients, came in the door, it was Chen Nan's parents.
"Huh? Xiao Nan is not at home? Did you hang out with Miaomiao? β
Ms. Weng looked at the empty home, a little puzzled where Chen Nan had gone, they had wanted to surprise him.
Father Chen opened Chen Nan's room, looked at the cleaned room, looked at Ms. Weng and guessed.
"I guess I'll go to the library, and I won't bring my schoolbag with me when I go out to play. He usually stays there for half a day when he goes to the library in the morning, just as we clean up, and he can have lunch when he comes back at noon. β
"However, why is Auntie not here, did she go out to buy groceries? Why don't you give her a call and give her two days off......"
"I guess Xiao Nan gave her a National Day holiday."
Father Chen opened the refrigerator and saw that there were a lot of ingredients prepared in it, which was probably bought by the housekeeping aunt before the holiday. When Chen Nan was in junior high school, he often gave his aunt holidays on holidays, and according to his words, he also gave people time for the family to reunite and go out to play.
"Then do you want to give Xiao Nan a call? Let him go home for dinner at noon, and don't let him eat out directly at that time. β
"He won't, he won't waste the ingredients at home."
"Okay, then let's not call him yet, let's get ready first. It's still early, so let's boil the soup first. β
Ms. Weng listened to Chen's father's analysis, went into the kitchen and began to get busy.
"I'll give you a hand."
"Aren't you going to take a break and take a jet lag?"
"I slept for a few hours before departure, squinted a little more on the plane, and now I'm not sleepy. Besides, go and rest now, if you can't get up at noon or can't sleep at night, let's go to bed at night. β
"Okay, then you help me pick the vegetables first, and I'll take care of the meat."
β¦β¦
"Hello, I'm here to return the book."
Chen Nan took out six medical books from his schoolbag, walked to the library the day before yesterday, and asked the administrator to return the books.
"It's you, classmate Chen, didn't you go out on a trip with your family and friends on National Day?"
Seeing that it was Chen Nan, a "regular customer", the administrator took the medical books and library cards handed over by him, and chatted with him while registering.
"I went to play with my friends two days ago, and I didn't have anything to do today, so I came over to return the books, and by the way, I found some more books to read."
"There are really not many students like you now, who don't go out to play, most of them play with computers and mobile phones at home, and now those who come to the library are basically those who are going to graduate school and take the public examination...... Registered, give, your library card. β
"Thank you."
After receiving the library card handed back by the administrator, Chen Nan went upstairs to look for a book.
Chen Nan wandered aimlessly upstairs, looking at the dazzling array of books on the shelves, and he really didn't know which one to read for a while. After returning home from the summer vacation, until last month, I was reading medical books. Now I want to change my brain, and I want to find other books that don't need to be thought about with my brain.
"Huh? "Common Knowledge of Ancient Chinese Culture"? β
Chen Nan saw a "common sense" book on the shelf, and took it out to look through it with curiosity.
"Do you know the complicated truth about the Martial King Keshang? Do you know the earliest physical thing we can see about cats? Did you know that the well-known Simu Wuding has a prosthetic ear? Do you know that Meng Jiang's female surname is Jiang and not Meng? Did you know that the pants worn by people in deep clothes in the Han Dynasty were open crotch hakama with ass exposed? Do you know what the oldest concentric knots look like? Do you know the truth about the Yellow Emperor's battle against Chiyou? Did you know that the oldest bottle was 6,000 years ago? Do you know what the word "fishy" originally meant in pork? Do you know what three incredible large-scale cooling China has experienced in the past 3,500 years......
"The 5,000-year-old civilization of ancient China has left countless cultural treasures for future generations, and we may not be able to understand them in our lifetimes. However, the research of generations of scholars has made ancient culture more and more clearly displayed in front of us, so that we, the "non-professional", have cleared the obstacles to the study of ancient times and can get a glimpse of the common sense of ancient Chinese culture. β
Seeing these two paragraphs written on the waist cover of the book, it seemed to be quite interesting, so Chen Nan took the book and found a nearby place to sit down, put on headphones, and read while listening to songs.
The book is more than 230 pages, with a total of 130,000 words, and can basically be read in one morning.
At about eleven o'clock in the morning, just after reading the book, Chen Nan heard a message reminder sound in his headphones, took out his mobile phone and looked at it, it was a depressed expression sent by Miaomiao.
Miao Miao: Did you cheat with props!? β_β
Chen Nan: Did Auntie buy crabs for you to eat?
Miaomiao: I wondered, she didn't give her those free ones yesterday, and went to the market this morning to buy dozens of yuan a catty. o_o don't understand.
Chen Nan: What do you think, you are Auntie's baby daughter, of course she will do her best to prepare the best for you. You didn't listen to what I told you in the morning, did you?
Miaomiao: Hmm...... I feel the love of my old mother this time, and I have to repay her well. Okay, then I'll(ββΈβΌβ΅β΅)work hard and study hard for a few days
Chen Nan: You also have a plug-in now, it shouldn't take a few days, find me to estimate, this afternoon plus the evening, should be enough for you to read last month's notes.
Miaomiao: Really? I'll try it in the afternoon. Are you still in the library? It's almost time for lunch, so you might as well hurry home and don't read a book and forget to eat.
Chen Nan: Well, I just finished reading a book and was about to go back.
Miaomiao: That's good, then you go back, I'm going over to help Wang Shengnan, by the way, secretly learn, talk back~(^U^)γ~BYE
After Chen Nan and Miaomiao finished chatting, they put the book back on the shelf, and went home with their schoolbag on their backs.
