A flash of inspiration.
Once you buy a book, it's useless once you've finished reading it.
Instead of buying books, it is better to go to the bookstore and read every day.
Meng Xue commuted between home and the bookstore every day.
She became familiar with the bookstore owner Li Jiaming in just two days.
Li Jiaming is in his thirties, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and looking very gentle.
It feels very cultured at first glance.
Sometimes the two of them would sit together and discuss some book knowledge.
No matter what questions Li Jiaming asked, Meng Xue could answer them with ease.
This made Li Jiaming admire her more and more, and he felt that a true friend was hard to find.
He knew that Meng Xue wanted to take the college entrance examination, so he specially found some college entrance examination questions for her from her friends.
Meng Xue was very grateful to him, but the man refused to accept the money.
I wanted to invite someone to dinner but was rejected.
"Comrade Jiaming, even though we are friends, I don't want to owe you a favor forever! It makes me feel like I've caused you a lot of trouble!"
Li Jiaming adjusted his glasses with his hand, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly.
"Comrade Xiaoxue, you said we were friends. Friends are meant to cause trouble, right? Besides, I have something to trouble you with!"
Meng Xue was slightly stunned.
She didn't think she could help him.
"What do you want to say first?"
Li Jiaming smiled slightly.
"I have to leave in a hurry. Can you help me look after the store for a few days? In return, you can read any of the books here!"
Seeing that Meng Xue did not agree immediately, he continued, "You will get one dollar a day as salary. If you think it is not enough, I can give you two dollars..."
Meng Xue shook her head. "You just said that friends are meant to cause trouble. I don't want the money. I can help you read the book for a few days, but I still want to read it."
Meng Xue said this and winked at him mischievously.
Li Jiaming looked at her cute appearance and burst out laughing.
"Okay, you can read any book you want!"
Li Jiaming took Meng Xue on a tour of the bookstore and reminded her of some things to pay attention to.
"Comrade Xiaoxue, I'm leaving tomorrow. I'll leave the bookstore to you!"
He said as he handed her the spare key to the bookstore.
"Comrade Jiaming, go early and come back early."
"Yes, I will!"
It was already late when Meng Xue returned home, and Old Man Xi was standing in the yard waiting for her.
"Xuewa, why did you come back so late?"
Meng Xue walked forward and helped Mr. Xi into the house, waiting for him to sit down.
She then said, "Uncle Xi, the bookstore owner has to go out for a few days. I will go to the bookstore to help out starting tomorrow!"
Mr. Xi knew that Meng Xue often went to the bookstore these days and became friends with a man named Jiaming.
"Then I'll go with you tomorrow, and I can also take a look at some books suitable for me to read."
Meng Xue was speechless, but she had no way to refuse Mr. Xi's words.
"Uncle Xi, if you want to read any book, I'll bring it back for you. The bookstore is full of books and there's nowhere to put them. I'm afraid I'll tire you out!"
Mr. Xi didn’t really read books like he used to.
He just wanted to see who that person named Jiaming was.
What is so charming about him that makes Meng Xue always mention him?
It also made Meng Xue go out early and come back late these days.
Since his son is not around, as his father I have to help him look after his wife.
He was really afraid that the daughter-in-law he liked would run away right under his nose.
"Old man, it's not that precious. Let's put it this way. I'll go with you tomorrow!"
Meng Xue had no choice but to nod and agree.
"Well, if you feel tired or uncomfortable, please tell me!"
Mr. Xi nodded and said "OK".
