"Take a look at these books. Are there any suitable ones?"
There are about a dozen books in the carton, 5 of which are both Chinese and English translations, and the rest are all in pure English.
Master Yu looked at the extremely handsome Du Weiguo with a thoughtful look. In his impression, in recent years, it has been rare to see young people with the temperament of Comrade Xiao Du.
It is very consistent with his personal aesthetic, handsome, upright, elegant, decent, well-dressed and polite in speech.
With Master Yu's sophisticated eye that has seen countless people, it is not difficult to tell that Du Weiguo is a soldier and even has a strong smell of gunpowder on his body.
No, I just shot the target yesterday. Even though I washed up, the smell of gunpowder smoke still lingered on my body.
Master Yu was very curious at this time, could Du Weiguo have literary accomplishment? Can he understand English reading materials?
The original Du Weiguo would definitely not be able to do it, but the Du Weiguo who came from time travel can indeed do it, and he can do so easily. Damn it, who are you looking down on?
"Master Yu, let me choose these three books."
Comrade Xiao Du selected three pure English books: "Selected Works of Shakespeare", "Collected Works of Maupassant", and "The Old Man and the Sea".
"Comrade Du, these books you selected are quite interesting."
"Well, Shakespeare is given away, and Maupassant and Hemingway are kept for me to read."
Master Yu was very surprised, even amazed. He could understand English, and he also knew a lot about writers, classifying them very accurately.
"Have you studied English?"
"If you have studied a little, reading a book is half-study."
"Amazing, really amazing."
"Master Yu, can you smoke now? When I saw the book, I wanted to smoke and drink tea. I feel like this is the right thing to do."
"Hahaha, expert, wait a moment, I will take you to smoke."
Master Yu put the small carton back, picked up three books chosen by Comrade Xiao Du, and led Comrade Xiao Du up a small staircase to the roof, where there was a small rooftop.
Xiao Du directly handed a cigarette to Master Yu. The Zhibao lighter dinged, lit it for him, and lit one himself.
Hua Zi, the noodles are awesome.
Master Yu was also a long-time smoker, and when he saw Zhibao, he showed no signs of surprise, but there was just a hint of recognition in his eyes.
"Comrade Du, if you want to buy something in the future, you can come to see me at home. The store is basically full of rags and not worth looking at, so I only put a few books here to help."
"Okay, Master Yu, I won't disturb you often from now on. Do you mainly buy foreign goods?"
"No, there are also some fashionable and old-school things, such as watches, pocket watches, lighters, leather shoes, books, wallets, suitcases, coats, suits, etc."
Xiao Du understood, what about the Shanghai-style gentleman style? There should be the most people like this in Shanghai. What is Lao Ke Le? But there are also some in Forty-Nine Cities, and they are relatively few.
"Okay, I understand, Master Yu is an old Shanghai man!"
"Hehehe, you're not from Shanghai. I'm just a salesperson in a trust store. I just have a little hobby."
"Hahaha, I understand."
Three books, 12 yuan, and leaving Master Yu's address, Xiao Du said goodbye and left.
While walking, I complained, it’s so expensive, I can even replace it with 4 big elbows.
However, things are somewhat expensive, and there are no external channels for reading materials in foreign languages. These things are circulated internally, which is indeed very rare.
Xiao Du planned to keep Maupassant to read, the king of short stories, the words are still interesting.
Most of you have at least heard of "Junyou", "Ball of Suet" and "The Necklace", they are all famous names.
It was already 10:40 when we rode from the trust store to Jiang Dongfang's house. The time was almost right. As for Yang Caiyu, Comrade Xiao Du was disgusted from the bottom of his heart.
It is really difficult for a literary young woman with a good family background, eyes above her head, and a clean slate to feel good about her.
When I arrived at Jiang Dongfang's house, I was stopped by Aunt Li as soon as I entered. She first looked Xiao Du up and down.
Seeing that Comrade Xiao Du had really worked hard today, looking as smooth as a peacock spreading its tail, Aunt Li showed a satisfied smile on her face and whispered:
"My girl is already here, and you have just arrived. Have you prepared any gifts?"
"It's ready, Auntie, don't worry, it's very safe."
"Hehehe, that's good, come on, let me introduce you."
When I came to the living room, there was a girl sitting on the sofa with a faint teasing smile on her face.
"Caiyu, this is Du Weiguo, Xiao Du, this is Yang Caiyu."
"Hello, Du Weiguo."
Comrade Xiao Du took the initiative to extend his hand, with a faint teasing smile.
"Hello, Yang Caiyu."
Yang Caiyu stood up and extended his hand.
After shaking hands, both of them were stunned almost at the same time.
The living room fell into silence, the kind of silence that could hear a pin drop.
Yang Caiyu is actually almost exactly the same as the fairy stepmother with the same name in later generations, but her figure is better, both before and after, she is perfect.
Today she is wearing a white short-sleeved shirt, a light blue skirt, white sneakers, a ponytail, and a light blue handkerchief. She is still wearing a teasing smile, and has a dimple on the left and right sides of her face, which is not very symmetrical.
But quite beneficial.
Du Weiguo felt like he had been transported back in time again. Is the system too lazy? With the same name and appearance, did the main characters just get thrown in so directly? Isn't it too hasty?
And Yang Caiyu is indeed Du Weiguo's favorite, and he would prefer this type in later generations.
Du Weiguo was in a daze, and Yang Caiyu was also in a daze.
Du Weiguo's judgment of her character was half correct. She had a superior family, a good background, and a bit of a young lady's temper.
But Yang Caiyu doesn't have high standards. Many people have pursued her since she was a child, but she hasn't developed the bad habit of being low-minded and pretentious. It's just that she hasn't met the one she likes yet.
What she pursues is a love-at-first-sight kind of encounter, and she actually has never been quite sure about her own preferences.
Now she probably knows that Du Weiguo is her standard of preference. He is handsome, tall, handsome, personable, well-dressed, capable and fashionable, speaks politely, and has a nice voice.
As for family conditions, financial conditions, background, education, work, etc., these are not within her scope of consideration at all.
In The Couple of Condor Heroes, Fenglindu, Guo Xiang once misunderstood Yang Guo for the rest of his life, but Yang Caiyu is probably like this now, and his brain suddenly shut down.
It was as if his soul had been lost.
The two of them held hands like this and remained still for about 10 seconds. Du Weiguo reacted first and let go of his hand. During this period, even Aunt Li and Jiang Dongfang did not dare to say a word, they were so shocked.
"Comrade Yang Caiyu, I'm sorry, I was stunned just now. You look so much like a girl I once knew."
Du Weiguo let go, and Yang Caiyu suddenly woke up. Her face turned red to the roots of her ears, but Du Weiguo apologized and gave her a good step forward.
"Oh it's all right."
At this time Aunt Li also reacted, "Sit down and talk, Xiao Du, didn't you prepare a gift for Caiyu? Take it out."
"Oh, okay, Comrade Caiyu, please sit down."
"You guys chat, I'm going to cook, Lao Jiang, you come with me to help in the kitchen!" Aunt Li was really impatient.
Yang Caiyu probably hadn't calmed down yet, and Du Weiguo didn't care at all, so he didn't even offer to help.
Jiang Dongfang had no choice but to stand up and go to help. He couldn't help, he couldn't do anything. He still wanted to see the excitement.
The quiet moment when the two of them shook hands and said hello was just like a master's exchange of blows, and it actually shocked Jiang Dongfang, and he didn't know how serious it was.
At this time, he still wanted to watch the show, he really wanted to see it, and he had an intuition that the next part would be particularly interesting.
The heroine officially appears, spreading flowers!
