But young Su Tong said he wanted to see it.
At that time, everyone thought Su Tong wouldn't live to adulthood, but Guan Yumei had a soft heart and left the books behind.
In the subsequent political movements, no one thought to search Su Dazhi's house for books, so these books were preserved intact.
Seeing that Su Tong was engrossed in tidying up, Su Ruyi said something and went out again.

The old man was accompanied by a five-year-old boy.
