Both of these books are university textbooks, but because the college entrance examination was cancelled in recent years, they are both old versions and will probably not be printed again until it is resumed.

Probably because many kinds of books from previous movements were destroyed, Xu Sui wanted to look for other types of books but couldn't find any. Most of them were practical books about industry and agriculture. She looked around again and finally took these two books to check out.

However, what I didn’t expect was that I actually ran into an acquaintance when checking out—I wouldn’t say it was an acquaintance, as the other person was a teacher who was attending the exchange meeting. Although I didn’t know which school he was from, we were sitting very close to each other and had greeted each other several times.

This is a man with gray hair on his temples. He wears a dark blue cotton jacket, gray cotton pants, a gray scarf around his neck, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. However, he looks very strong. Although his skin is darker and even a little weathered, he speaks and acts with a scholarly temperament.

Xu Sui remembered 놛's last name and said with a smile, "Teacher Zhang."

Teacher Zhang nodded and smiled at her, his eyes swept over the two books she placed on the counter, and asked in slight surprise: "Are you self-studying university content?"

I know that Xu Sui only has a high school diploma, which is enough for teaching in junior high school. In some places, high school teachers only have junior high or high school diplomas. It doesn't matter if you can't understand it yourself. You can just read from the textbook verbatim.

However, these two books are obviously content that you will only come into contact with in college.

Xu Sui nodded, "I am more interested in mathematics. There is no bookstore on the island. It is rare to go on a business trip, so I bought a few books and brought them back to study."

Teacher Zhang: "Can you understand it if you study it on your own?"

Xu Sui paused, "Studying is a kind of fun, right?"

The two walked out of the bookstore together. Teacher Zhang turned around and said, "Give me the address of the guesthouse. There are some books and notes here. Take them home and read them slowly."

Xu Sui was slightly startled. Just as she was about to speak, she heard Teacher Zhang say again: "It's useless to keep those books at home. A teacher of literature is not interested in them. Why don't you take them and study hard."

It was a chance meeting, so Teacher Zhang didn't say much. After the next day's exchange meeting officially ended, he brought a pile of books and asked the front desk to tell Xu Sui that he left without waiting for her to come down.

Teacher Liu was surprised to see her bringing back such a thick pile of books, and sighed after hearing who gave them to her.

Teacher Liu is old and gentle. She is not the last one who can't even remember her classmates after graduating from college. She got to know several teachers during the two days of the exchange meeting and agreed to write letters to each other and become pen pals.

She whispered, "I don't know if you went to the bookstore. There is a teacher who lives here like us. She likes to talk, so she told me about Teacher Zhang.

"Teacher Zhang is a high school teacher in Shanghai. His son is over 30 years old and was originally a teacher at a university in Shanghai."

"But a few years ago, my son was reported by my daughter-in-law and was sent to a farm for education. My daughter-in-law divorced me in the newspaper with her two children. Fortunately, Teacher Zhang had a student who was in the group here, so she was not affected too much."

Teacher Liu pursed her lips and said, "Just last month, Teacher Zhang's son passed away."

During the movement a few years ago, there were too many cases of wives reporting their fathers and sons reporting their mothers. They were swept up in this sense of justice and decided to give up their families for the greater good, which led to many family tragedies.

Teacher Liu also read a report in the newspaper about a teacher who was caught and educated by his own son. He was caught and paraded, saying that he should start with himself and not shield anyone.

She was already a mother, and even though she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she could feel the teacher's despair.

Xu Sui touched the pile of books.

They are all professional books, and there are two notebooks on the top. The handwriting is neat and the content is concise. It can be seen that the person who took the notes is probably a careful person with strong logical ability.

However, being able to be a university teacher means that 껩 is an excellent talent.

She asked, "Teacher Liu, could you please help me find that teacher and ask which school Teacher Zhang teaches at now? I'll send you something later."

Teacher Zhang probably gave these books to her, whom he met by chance, because his son had passed away and he didn't want to be reminded of him by seeing these books. Also, he thought these books were the source of his son's tragedy.

However, Xu Sui couldn't accept it with peace of mind, and she had to give something in return.

Teacher Liu naturally agreed, and immediately got up and went out. Not long after, he handed her a note with the name of the school written on it.

She was afraid that the little girl was too delicate and easily sad, so she smiled and said, "Teacher Zhang has two children who are both filial. I think she won't dwell too much on the past."

The dead can't come back, so we can only look forward. Xu Sui took the note and said with a smile: "Fortunately, there are elders like you, Teacher Liu, otherwise I would only know your surname and wouldn't know who to look for."

Her social skills were decent, but she was definitely not as friendly as Teacher Liu. She talked to people of her age mostly, and she even turned down a young man's invitation to watch a movie.

Teacher Liu packed her luggage and said, "You are still young, so you should enjoy your youth. At your age, you can still go to the library, but I can't. I didn't sleep yesterday, and I can't even make it to the exchange meeting next time."

They packed their luggage, checked out at the front desk, and then rushed to the train station.

After traveling by train and by ship during the day, the two finally arrived at the dock on the afternoon of December 1st.

Teacher Liu carried the luggage and looked around. "Shanghai is so big and prosperous, but I still prefer to stay on the island. It is the land of this island that makes me feel at ease. Teacher Xu, see if your lover is here to pick you up. I will go back first."

Xu Sui said goodbye to her and was a little surprised when she saw Lu Chenghuai had already handed over the luggage to her. "Why are you here?"

Lu Chenghuai looked at his partner's face. Because of the strong sea breeze and the cold weather, her cheeks already had a natural blush.

놛 lowered his eyebrows and smiled, "놖 calculated the time for the 꿷天 ship to arrive, and asked for leave to come here."

"How can you lift something so heavy?" Lu Chenghuai said it was heavy, but when he lifted it, it was as if it was nothing.

놛 He held his partner's hand and looked carefully at her palm, and sure enough, there was a faint red mark.

Xu Sui smiled and said, "You can just carry it for a while when you get on or off the bus. It's not a big deal."

Lu Chenghuai frowned, "I'll get you a tube of ointment when I get back later."

Xu Sui couldn't resist and started talking about what she had seen and heard at the two-day exchange meeting and the prosperity of Shanghai.

After listening to her, Lu Chenghuai looked at her and asked, "Do you like life in the city?"

Xu Sui glanced at him and said, "Life in the city is indeed convenient, but everyone has different pursuits and wants. Some people like big cities, some people enjoy a small life in the countryside, and some people prefer a stable life with family."
