[Chapter 196 Chapter 196 Rejuvenation]
Siqin was still busy when Shen Yuyao went in.
Seeing the two people coming, he turned around to say hello, but Shen Yuyao waved at him: "You do your thing, I just came to take a look."
"Okay, Aunt Shen, please go sit in the back. It's cleaner there." Si Qin pointed to the empty space behind the table.
There was a small coal stove over there, the fire was burning brightly, and there was a kettle on the stove. The water in the kettle had boiled, and white steam was bubbling out.
It seems that Siqin is too busy at the moment and has not had time to add water.
Seeing this situation, Shen Yuyao simply walked over, took down the kettle, and filled the thermos next to her.
The two young men didn't bother to be polite with her. Seeing that she didn't seem to be in any serious trouble, Chen Xing also went over to help his eldest brother.
After all, there are five or six people queuing behind me.
After filling the kettle, Shen Yuyao had nothing to do.
She also didn't want to talk to Siqin about money in front of outsiders.
Seeing that there were not many people delivering goods behind her, she simply sat down on a small bench nearby, wanting to talk to Siqin after he finished his work.
As soon as Shen Yuyao sat down, her eyes fell on a few old newspapers on the side.
Well, or rather, it fell on the two books wrapped in old newspapers.
Even though they were deliberately covered up, Shen Yuyao could tell at a glance that the two books should be ancient books.
This can be seen from the faintly exposed yellowed paper.
The Shen family has a long tradition of scholarship, and they have many ancient books handed down from their ancestors.
The family also spent a lot of money to buy some ancient books.
Therefore, Shen Yuyao has had this awareness since childhood and understands the value of books.
Seeing the two books, Shen Yuyao couldn't help but feel itchy and picked up the newspaper and the books together.
The moment she picked it up, Siqin and Chen Xing's faces changed at the same time.
Chen Xing's face turned pale and he subconsciously looked at his elder brother.
And Siqin's expression also became serious.
Although he didn't say anything, and even didn't stop weighing the person, his eyes were always watching Shen Yuyao's actions.
Siqin's lips were tightly pursed, the blue veins on the back of his hands were throbbing, and he looked like a little beast ready to pounce.
He has made all the preparations and will take action immediately if Shen Yuyao makes any move!
Shen Yuyao didn't know that her behavior had aroused the vigilance of the two children.
Although she had been in this world for some time, she had some understanding of the situation here.
I have even witnessed some human tragedies and have become more cautious.
But to be honest, she was not a person of this era at heart, and she married into a military compound not long after she came here.
With such an identity, she will see less of the dark side of society.
So, she thought she was cautious enough, but many times she would subconsciously forget the harsh environment.
Just like now, she was only surprised when she saw the ancient books, but completely forgot that these things themselves were not accepted by this era.
Shen Yuyao turned around with the stack of books wrapped in newspapers and looked at Si Qin, asking, "Can I take a look at this?"
His eyes were sincere and expectant.
After hearing this, Si Qin was obviously stunned.
Obviously he was prepared to be exposed for hiding the Four Olds.
But I didn't expect that Shen Yuyao picked it up just to take a look?
Seeing that he remained silent, Chen Xing nervously tugged at the corner of his clothes.
Faced with Siqin's silence, a hint of disappointment flashed in Shen Yuyao's eyes.
But this is also expected.
It is a rare book, so the owner will definitely treasure it.
So she smiled and said, "I'll put it back for you..."
"Look." Si Qin said suddenly.
Hearing this, Chen Xing quickly dropped the paper and pen and strode towards Shen Yuyao.
As he walked, he shouted loudly: "Auntie Shen, you want to read the newspaper? Go ahead, there are plenty of them here. Come with me, there are even more over there, I'll find you some clean ones!"
As he spoke, he walked over and pulled Shen Yuyao towards the innermost part of the warehouse where waste paper was piled up.
Only then did Shen Yuyao realize what she had just done!
Old books in this era can be considered as the "Four Olds"!
Not only did she find out, she even picked it up in public...
There are several people outside waiting to be weighed!
Even though there's a newspaper between us, what if someone with ulterior motives notices that something is wrong?
Shen Yuyao regretted it too late.
She immediately followed Chen Xing and walked to the innermost part.
After the two of them stood still and made sure that people outside could not see this corner, he lowered his voice and said, "Xiaoxing, I'm sorry, I didn't react just now."
Chen Xing shook her head: "It's okay, Auntie, you can read if you want, but my brother treasures these two books very much, remember to return them to him after you finish reading them."
"good."
Shen Yuyao was very embarrassed.
But she also knew that there was no point in explaining it now.
After Chen Xing and Shen Yuyao finished talking, they did not leave immediately. Instead, they stood in a relatively distant position to help her block any possible gazes from outside.
Shen Yuyao took advantage of this opportunity to open the newspapers.
Then she found that wrapped in the newspaper was a medical book called "Cure for All Diseases and Rejuvenation".
This book must be very old. The pages are already torn and the paper is so brittle that it seems like it will break if you apply a little force.
Shen Yuyao carefully flipped through two pages and then closed it.
She couldn't understand the prescription recorded in the book, but she could tell that it must be very precious to Dr. Gu and must be his favorite.
Shen Yuyao was extremely regretful at this moment. She regretted that she did not use her brain before doing anything and was indeed rash.
She did not look at the book at the back, but rewrapped the book and handed it back to Chen Xing.
Chen Xing was a little surprised and asked in a low voice, "Auntie Shen, you don't want to watch it anymore?"
Shen Yuyao also lowered her voice: "I won't watch it anymore. I don't understand it either."
She paused and continued, "Xiaoxing, if you have anything else besides medical books, remember to save some for me. Especially some calligraphy works and rubbings. I like those things more."
The best way to avoid being vigilant is to join.
Shen Yuyao thought of this when she was flipping through it just now.
She also suddenly realized that this scrap yard was indeed a good place.
Under the current circumstances, it might be possible to collect something from here.
She had heard from her eldest brother before that before her father became prime minister, he would occasionally take time out to visit the used bookstore.
There are two sets of rare books in our house that my father picked up from a used bookstore.
There are no second-hand bookstores now, so maybe a scrap yard would be okay?
Shen Yuyao didn't expect to get anything good from this, she just hoped that through her behavior, Siqin would have less resentment towards her.
After all, her man's third course of treatment had just begun, and he would still have a long time to deal with Dr. Gu.
It is never a good thing to make people wary of them at this time.
