Chapter 183: Grand Occasion

"You need to provide your household registration and then register in detail. As for payment, you can choose to pay once every three months or once a year." After Chu Ci said this, he looked at the teachers and students with expectation.

The teachers and students were also very cooperative. Before entering, they asked again: "With a library card, can I read freely?"

Chu Ci smiled and patiently explained, "Of course there are some restrictions. With this card, each person can borrow no more than five books at a time."

"The loan period is set at one month. If someone feels that one month is not enough and wants to renew the loan, they must apply in advance."

"However, if someone fails to return the book on time, there will be certain disciplinary measures."

"For example, this person will be restricted from borrowing books for a period of time. This will serve as a reminder to everyone to return books on time. This way, others will also have a better chance of borrowing their favorite books."

…

As Chu Ci walked slowly into the library door with the teachers and students, those outside who tried to find out the news could no longer know the specific situation inside.

But even so, the information about the library revealed by Chu Ci was enough to drive the students in Lianzhou crazy.

In this era, people who have the conditions to go to school, even those from the poorest families, can barely scrape together the money as long as they grit their teeth and make up their minds.

What's more, if what is said in Chuci is true, then the value and significance contained therein cannot be measured and compared simply with money.

So, just one morning passed and it was afternoon.

The entrance of the library was already crowded with people.

Among these people, there were children from humble backgrounds, ordinary people, some students from relatively well-off families, and even a businessman who had previously participated in the "Women's College" competition...

After hearing about the many benefits of the library, they couldn't wait to come and find out more.

"Ah, here... here..." The owner of Jinsi Xiuge opened his eyes wide, looking at the book "Ribbon Embroidery Encyclopedia" in his hand with great excitement. He was so excited at that moment that he could hardly control himself, and his voice trembled involuntarily.

She was completely immersed in it, her emotions fluctuating violently like surging waves, as if she had discovered the most precious treasure in the world. She was so excited that she could hardly control herself.

If her clever daughter had not been quick to cover her mouth, she would have been the first person to be expelled for violating the library rules because of her excessive excitement.

"Jinxiu, let go. Mommy promises to control her emotions." The owner of Jinsi Xiu Pavilion, who had calmed down, winked at her daughter quickly, her eyes revealing a hint of eagerness and seriousness.

"Mother, let me tell you first. Perhaps there are other books on embroidery here. We must find them quickly and buy them."

The daughter said softly. After she finished speaking, she saw that her mother was no longer agitated, so she slowly lowered her hand that was covering her mother.

"I'm afraid not," the owner of Jinsixiu Pavilion frowned slightly. After thinking for a moment, he said, "There must be more than one book that Chu Shanzhang has so carelessly displayed here."

"Then I'll go find Mr. Chu..." But before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by the owner of Jinsi Xiu Pavilion.

"Shanzhang Chu won't agree. We will borrow it first and study these embroidery techniques thoroughly to fully grasp the essence of them."

"In this way, we can truly transform this knowledge into our own skills. Even if someone else reads this book, our Jinsi Xiu Pavilion's reputation will be successfully established."

Sure enough, after listening to her mother's plan, her daughter Jinxiu couldn't help but recall Chu Ci's past.

She was well aware of Chu Ci's style of doing things and how much she valued knowledge. Since she placed these embroidery-related books here, she would definitely not let their plan come true easily.

Thinking of this, Jinxiu couldn't help but sigh: "After all, it's you who reacts quickly, mother!"

The same scene happened to the father and son in Jishidiang.

However, compared to the owner of Sixiu Pavilion, Doctor Wu and his son from Jishidiang are much more cautious.

They flipped through every book in front of them very carefully, their eyes sharp and focused, not missing any details, even the smallest ones.

Their fingers gently turned the pages of the book, their movements softly and carefully, as if they were afraid of damaging these precious carriers of knowledge.

However, when they accidentally came across a "Smallpox Prevention Manual" while walking, the excitement that they had been suppressing could no longer be contained.

The son's voice trembled slightly, filled with uncontrollable eagerness. He couldn't wait to say, "Dad, Dad, if what's written in this book is true, then countless lives have been saved!"

Compared with his son, the older Dr. Wu is obviously calmer, more composed and more decisive.

After thinking for a moment, he said in a calm and firm tone, "Go and register immediately. We will take this book back and conduct an in-depth and detailed study."

"Also, I'll look around to see if there are other similar books."

"In this way, perhaps we can avoid unnecessary detours on the road of exploration, find the key to solving problems more quickly, and bring hope and good news to more people."

Doctor Wu's eyes revealed determination and persistence. He knew very well that this might be a rare opportunity and he must seize it firmly and not miss any possible breakthrough point.

…

Lianzhou City is gradually regaining its vitality because of the existence of a library.

Of course, the many benefits it brings cannot be immediately apparent in a short period of time.

However, it is undeniable that its impact is extremely far-reaching.

Compared with the highly-anticipated library in Lianzhou City, the library of the "Women's Academy" is much more low-key.

However, this was not the case for students at the "Women's College," as the "Women's College" implemented a unified teaching model, and each student could only choose two courses.

However, everyone's learning progress and interests are different.

Students can find books and knowledge that suits them in the library according to their own needs and progress, so as to improve their abilities and literacy. It provides an important place for students to explore freely and develop their individuality.
