Tian Xiaolan quickly looked around and found that the old man didn't look at her, so she breathed a sigh of relief. She carefully put the box away, pretended nothing had happened, and put the books into the pile she had found.
I tried to keep my movements as natural as possible, for fear of attracting the old man's attention.
Tian Xiaolan couldn't calm down for a long time. She was both excited and nervous.
Tian Xiaolan carried the book she had found and came to the old man, who was still lying on the recliner, basking in the sun with his eyes closed.
She gently placed the books in front of the old man and said, "Uncle, I found these books. Please tell me how to calculate the price."
The old man opened his eyes, looked at the book that Tian Xiaolan had found, nodded, stood up, glanced at it casually, and began to calculate the price.
There were still a lot of books, so the old man estimated the price: "Just take one dollar."
Tian Xiaolan took out the change she had prepared from her pocket, handed it to the old man and said thank you.
The old man waved his hand and helped Tian Xiaolan find a rope to tie up the books so that it would be easier to take them.
Then he took the money that Tian Xiaolan handed over and put it away. He waited until Tian Xiaolan walked out of the door carrying the pile of books before he closed the door.
When Tian Xiaolan was on her way back with the books, she didn't encounter anyone causing trouble, only some people looked at her curiously.
She didn't need to explain, knowledge still had some weight, and the rope in her hands had already dug into her flesh, so she walked quickly, changing her position when she got tired.
Not long after, she heard Wei Wenjie's voice. She went over and found that he was anxiously asking others about her whereabouts.
Tian Xiaolan frowned, and then she wondered why he was so well-behaved that he acted on his own initiative and was not afraid of being robbed.
The group of people from yesterday probably won’t come again, but there’s a chance that Li Dafu will find someone else to cause trouble, so we have to go back quickly.
"I'm here, why did you come out?" Tian Xiaolan asked.
"Me? I'm coming out?"
Seeing that he was speechless and his face was flushed, Tian Xiaolan didn't want to ask any more questions, "Let's go back first, you get the book."
Wei Wenjie had already noticed the books in Tian Xiaolan's hands, and quickly took them and held them horizontally in front of him.
Wei Wenjie followed Tian Xiaolan back to the door without saying a word.
He glanced around and saw no ambush, so he put the book down and opened the door with his key.
Wei Wenjie opened the door, took a look inside through the crack, and found that there was no one hiding behind it, so he picked up the book and walked in with confidence.
Seeing how cautious he was, Tian Xiaolan shook her head and followed him in. After sitting down, she wanted to pick up the water glass on the table and take a sip.
Wei Wenjie snatched it away, took it outside and poured it out, then poured another cup for Tian Xiaolan: "There was some dregs in the cup just now, you can drink it now."
Tian Xiaolan didn't care what he was being careful about and poured the water directly into her mouth. Only after she finished the glass of water did she feel her throat was less hot.
Wei Wenjie didn't take a break either. He looked around the room, searching for any place where someone could hide.
He sat down only after he saw that there were no more people in the room.
"Have a drink too!" Tian Xiaolan saw him searching carefully and poured him a glass of water in her spare time.
Wei Wenjie picked up the cup of water on the table and drank it.
Tian Xiaolan waited until he finished drinking, then used his scissors to untie the rope around the book.
"Why did you buy so many books?"
As Tian Xiaolan spoke, she found some books for Wei Wenjie from the pile and handed them to him: "I went to the scrap recycling station and found some books with pinyin. If I'm not here, you can spell them yourself. You still need to read more books, okay?"
He didn't expect that she went out to find a book for him. He felt a little warm in his heart. "I will definitely read it carefully."
"Yes, I believe you."
After distributing the papers, I also handed him some blank papers and said to him: "You still need to practice writing, otherwise all your efforts will be wasted, don't you understand?"
Wei Wenjie replied obediently, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
It made Tian Xiaolan feel as if she had raised a puppy.
The remaining books are hers, including the most important book. Fortunately, the old man just now did not look for it carefully, so it was preserved.
Tian Xiaolan opened the book and found the red box inside was extremely bright. She wondered which family had sold it without noticing it, so she felt like she had gotten a bargain.
Wei Wenjie was very happy inside. He accidentally saw the box that Tian Xiaolan took out and stared at it with some curiosity.
Tian Xiaolan felt it was unsafe to carry it with her, so she said to him, "Please leave this with you and keep an eye on it for me, okay?"
"Don't worry if you leave it with me. I will definitely not let anyone take it away!" Although Wei Wenjie didn't know what was inside, seeing how precious Xiaolan was, it must be very important to her, and he would definitely not let others touch it.
"Okay, I'll leave it to you."
By the time Wei Wenjie put his things away, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon, and it was not yet time for Shi Shichang to get off work.
It was still hot outside, and Tian Xiaolan didn't want to go out and wait so early, and there would definitely be someone more panicked than her.
When she had nothing to do, Tian Xiaolan opened a book and found a book called Journey to the West. She could read it to relieve her boredom.
After reading a few pages, she found that the writing style was similar to classical Chinese, which made Tian Xiaolan feel a little obscure. She could only read it by guessing and could understand the general idea.
Wei Wenjie saw Tian Xiaolan reading a book, so he didn't disturb her and just looked at the book Tian Xiaolan brought him.
The words in the book all have musical notes, which were taught to him by Tian Xiaolan. If he encounters a word he doesn't know, he can just spell it out.
In this way, time passed slowly. Tian Xiaolan was reading this famous book that everyone praised very seriously at first, but after a while she lowered her head and fell asleep.
Wei Wenjie saw her squinting her eyes, her head leaning against the wall, and her mouth, which was still mumbling pinyin, immediately closed. She looked very peaceful when she slept, did not snore, and had a very good temper. She was a rare and wonderful girl he had met.
He looked away and continued reading. He felt that the stories of the Hundred Family Surnames in his hand were very interesting. It allowed him to see what various famous people in history had done, which made him feel that learning was not so boring after all.
I worked on the book silently in my mind, not daring to turn the pages too loudly for fear of waking her up.
While reading, he also had to keep an eye on the time to make sure they didn't miss the director's shift.
After dozing for a while, Tian Xiaolan slowly opened her eyes and saw Wei Wenjie still reading very hard.
He turned around and glanced at the clock on the cabinet. He saw that the hour hand was almost six o'clock. He stood up suddenly and held on to the wall with his hands, feeling dizzy.
Wei Wenjie had noticed that she was about to wake up, but he didn't disturb her. He saw her stand up suddenly and almost fall down.
