Bai Shan and Wei Chen went into the building and opened the window for them. Man Bao and Bai Erlang got in through the window as they were familiar with each other.
Zhou Lang peeked inside and saw only rows of high bookshelves inside. Due to his limited vision, he couldn't see the bookshelf at the top. He couldn't help but exclaimed and said to the silent Daji: "This school is really good.
If you’re rich, how much will it cost to have so many books?”
Daji said: "Most of the books in official schools are the responsibility of bookstores."
"Huh?" Zhou Lang didn't understand.
Daji explained: "A bookstore is a place where books are printed. Generally, in official schools such as government schools and county schools, most of the books collected are printed by the bookstore."
"Isn't that the same collection of books as those in prefectural and county schools?"
"In addition, there are books left over from the government schools in the past, books donated by students, and books purchased by the government schools themselves. There are always differences."
Zhou Lang listened, but didn't understand. He waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter where it comes from. Anyway, there are a lot of books here, they are very precious and very valuable."
The old Zhou family has a unified understanding that the most valuable things in the family, besides the house and cattle, are the books in the Manbao House.
Even Lao Zhoutou, who had been to the county bookstore, vaguely ranked books above cattle.
Of course a book is not as valuable as a cow, but what about a bookshelf of books?
Seeing that his sister had successfully blended into a pile of money, Zhou Lang closed the window, then took Daji to move a ladder for him, "I'll leave first, you guys are busy, by the way, the carriage is parked like this
Is there any problem outside? Do you want me to rush outside and find a store to store it?"
Daji lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then said, "Let me go out with you."
The reason why he followed him yesterday was because he was worried, but from now on it is no longer necessary. Anyway, they have found a solution to the most dangerous wall climbing. Among a bunch of scholars in the government school, what danger can the young master be in?
Daji and Zhoulang walked under the wall without moving the ladder. He just carried the person and flew out.
Zhou Lang was very dissatisfied with this and babbled: "Tell me about you. I can send them in easily, but I have to make this trip. Not only does it cost energy, but it also costs money. You know the ladder in Yizhou City
How expensive is it?”
"I don't know," Daji said, "I don't want to know either."
Zhou Lang choked.
Daji jumped onto the carriage path: "I want to go around. Do you want to take a shortcut back by yourself, or let me take you off?"
Zhou Lang glanced forward at the long alley, turned around and walked away, "Let's forget it. Our school is only so far from our home. When you go around, I can walk back home."
Zhou Lang waved his hands and walked away.
Daji drove the car to the front gate of Fuxue and was waiting for them there.
The four of them were wandering in the sea of books. Bai Erlang found the first miscellaneous book with the book list issued by his husband yesterday. Then he and Wei Chen murmured and found a place with good lighting to sit down and read.
Bai Shan is very happy today, even happier than yesterday.
After all, it was just a try yesterday, but today he was able to confirm it. When he comes to the library after school, he will have company.
Instead of being alone every time he comes to the library, he feels that he comes here to read instead of going home from school and reading books with his friends.
Bai Shan glanced at Man Bao who was copying carefully, and then slipped into the bookshelves to look for books.
He already had a target, so he found it as soon as he looked for it.
He sat next to Man Bao and whispered: "Read this book."
Man Bao took a look and couldn't help but put down the pen and took it, "Hey, there is actually a second volume here."
Bai Shan smiled and nodded, "You didn't expect that there are quite a lot of travel notes in the library. Basically, what is available in bookstores outside will be added here."
He whispered: "Every year the bookstore sends a batch of new books."
Some books need to be copied, read, recited and studied repeatedly, but some books are meant to be read for fun, such as this miscellany in Bai Shan's hand.
However, interesting miscellanies are sometimes more attractive than other books.
Especially for a young man like Man Bao, Man Bao put down his pen at this time and sat with Bai Shan to read the miscellaneous book in his hand.
This is a storybook, said to be a travelogue, but Manbao feels it is more like a made-up unofficial history. It tells stories that the author heard while traveling in the northern country. Most of those stories are related to historical figures, and they are of various types.
.
That’s why Manbao said it is a storybook wrapped in a travelogue shell.
The two of them read together like this, oh, no, it was a waste of an hour. It was not until the closing bell rang that they remembered that they had not read a single book list that their husband had given them.
Not only did they not read it, they didn't even find the book.
The two looked at each other guiltily, quickly put away the things on the table, and returned the books together with other students in the building.
Then Man Bao and Bai Erlang slipped out of the back window, while Bai Shan closed the window and went out from the door.
On the way back, Bai Erlang said to the two of them enthusiastically: "The miscellaneous books introduced by Mr. are also quite good."
Man Bao said: "Sir, what I have introduced to you is not just miscellaneous books."
"There's no rush," Bai Shan knew that she was feeling guilty and anxious at this time, so he comforted her and said, "There's only a long time to come. Maybe you won't ask today, but we'll see about it tomorrow."
Bai Erlang turned his head and looked at the two of them, "Oh——" and said, "I see, you didn't read seriously today, did you?"
"We're not distracted."
"I know, I mean you haven't read any serious books."
"Only people can be serious..." The three people returned home noisily. Mr. Zhuang was waiting for them. When they entered the study, he asked, "What book did you read today that gained something?"
Bai Erlang waited for his senior sisters and brothers to speak first, but when they didn't say anything, he excitedly stepped forward to make a report.
Mr. Zhuang's requirements for Bai Erlang have always been relatively broad. For things like reading experience, if he talks about them in trivial matters, he will listen to them in trivial matters. Basically, he only needs to read books, read good books, and be able to memorize some important contents.
Just keep it in mind, he will never ask him to memorize everything or remember a certain number of things.
Not to mention how brilliantly he summarized it.
Seeing that he was talking excitedly, we knew that he was reading seriously this afternoon, so it was not in vain for them to bother with it.
After Bai Erlang finished speaking, Mr. Zhuang turned his attention to the two proud disciples.
From the moment they came in, Mr. Zhuang guessed that they either went out to play in the afternoon or did not read any serious books, otherwise they would not be so guilty.
Mr. Zhuang bent his hand and nodded at the table and asked, "Can you two tell me what books you read this afternoon?"
Man Bao looked at Bai Shan quietly, and Bai Shan also looked at her quietly. The two looked at each other, and then they couldn't help but raise their heads and look at the husband quietly.
As soon as I raised my head, I met the gentleman's eyes that were half-smiling, and then they both lowered their heads, scared.
