Lin Chengyu obediently took the mask and said, "Ziqing, you did a good job preparing."
Soon after, Song Ziqing entered a warehouse filled with all sorts of books. She even found a number of thread-bound ancient books, though she wasn't sure if they were genuine. She simply stored them in her ring space.
At this moment, she was the only one in the small warehouse, and Lin Chengyu did not follow her but went to the next room. He said that there were also many books there, and each of them should find a warehouse.
Lin Chengyu also wanted to make it easier for Song Ziqing to do things alone. He wanted to stay behind her, so she definitely wouldn't dare to use her special ability.
Song Ziqing wasn't too keen on coming to the scrap metal recycling station at first, but when she entered the warehouse and found a huge number of books, all of which she had never read before, she was overjoyed, like a little mouse that had fallen into a rice jar. She tossed one good book after another onto the bookshelf in her ring space.
All she had left with her were comic books, many of which were valuable collectibles in later generations. Even for a girl whose mental age was approaching thirty, she found them very interesting.
While searching for books, she also found several scrolls of calligraphy and paintings. These scrolls and paintings all bore the marks of history. Without checking their authenticity, she simply put them into the bookshelf next to her ring space.
After she had searched through most of the books in the small warehouse, she unexpectedly walked into a warehouse filled with various pieces of furniture. However, all of the furniture was damaged. After looking around for a few moments, she found a sandalwood jewelry box and put it directly into her ring space.
Next, she saw a warehouse containing many porcelain pieces, bowls, and jars, but after a quick look, she realized that they were all broken and nothing was intact.
Song Ziqing guessed that the complete porcelain piece might have been taken away and hidden away by someone knowledgeable about it long ago.
Anyone with a brain knows that these things were very valuable in the past. But during the Cultural Revolution, people stopped valuing these antiques and even talked about overthrowing the old society and old culture, which is why these antiques suffered a devastating blow.
Many wise people also foresaw that antiques would be welcomed again in times of peace and prosperity, which is why many antiques have been preserved.
She walked around the various warehouses without tampering with anything, then picked up a fertilizer bag filled with books and went to Lin Chengyu's side. Seeing that he had also brought out a large pile of books, she became worried: "Xiaoyu, have we brought out too many books? The postage alone will cost over a hundred yuan!"
“It’s alright. We might not be back for several years or even ten years after this trip to the countryside. Send us more books; they will be our spiritual nourishment when we are bored!”
Lin Chengyu knew very well that his group was among the first batch of educated youth sent to the countryside. If nothing unexpected happened, they would have to wait in the countryside for more than ten years. During such a long time, they would be working every day, and life would be really difficult after a while.
If they brought more books with them, the days wouldn't be so hard to bear when they were bored.
Song Ziqing was a smart man and understood his thoughts. He no longer felt that the two of them had too many books, since half of them were comic books. These little books could be read ten or more a day and were not worth reading.
Thinking about it this way, Song Ziqing felt that the two of them hadn't found that many books, so he squatted down again and continued looking for books.
When the two left the scrap metal recycling station, the old man in charge was quite surprised by the number of books they had found and kept asking them why they had bought so many books.
The old man really didn't dare let the two of them take away so many books.
Song Ziqing quickly explained, "Grandpa, we are both educated youth who will be going to the countryside tomorrow. We wanted to buy more books at the purchasing station so that when we go to the countryside, we can help build a library in the village where we are going, so that adults and children there can have books to read. This is also a way to support the development of spiritual civilization in the countryside."
Lin Chengyu nodded in agreement and said, "That's right, grandpa. We're just doing good deeds, helping the local villagers get rid of illiteracy and broadening the horizons of the rural children."
“Oh, I see! Since you’re doing a good deed, I’ll support you. I’ve also found a lot of books suitable for our age group. Please help me donate some books to the villages you’re visiting.”
After listening to the two men and seeing their sincere eyes, the old man knew they were telling the truth. After all, he had indeed discovered that most of the books were comic books, which could be read even by illiterate people.
The old man felt that such a good deed as donating books was worth reporting, so he quickly asked two people to wait while he called his colleague to find the person in charge of the book collection station.
The person in charge was very pleased to hear the old man's story and immediately asked the two men to leave their rural address so that the books could be donated directly by their purchasing station without the two men having to pay anything.
Upon hearing this, Song Ziqing nodded happily and praised, "Leaders, you are really so kind! When we go to the countryside, we will definitely tell the villagers about your exemplary deeds."
The old man replied directly, "Why don't you just find someone to make a banner for our purchasing station? That way, we can continue to donate various books to the places you go to in the future."
Lin Chengyu smiled and agreed, "Great! That's a win-win situation! Grandpa, we should keep in touch more often. We'll find someone to make a banner in a bit, and then ask the nearby street office to help deliver it. After all, we're going to the countryside early tomorrow morning and won't be able to deliver it in person!"
Song Ziqing disliked doing such things, feeling they were too fake and driven by selfish motives. However, since the other party wanted to be a good person and do good deeds, she couldn't refuse, so she could only hand the matter over to Lin Chengyu and let him take charge.
She watched as Lin Chengyu, so young, handled all sorts of people with ease, and also noticed that his behavior and conduct were completely inconsistent with his age.
The more she looked at him, the more she felt that he was a reincarnated person. What should she do if she encountered a reincarnated person after transmigrating?
Should I ask him directly about his situation, or pretend I don't know?
On the way to the post office, Song Ziqing remained silent, pondering how the two should proceed with their interactions.
Song Ziqing has always been outspoken and likes to speak his mind directly, rather than being secretive like this.
