"Thank you, Uncle Chen, then." Chen Qingxuan was so busy that he bowed to express his thanks. He took out five more silver coins from his purse and handed it to Uncle Chen's hand. He said to Uncle Chen with a smile, "Uncle Chen, I'll do it for you. That girl pays half, then you can just charge her five cents."
Uncle Chen frowned, looking puzzled: "Qingxuan, that girl and you..."
"Uncle Chen, don't be too worried. That girl is a foreigner. She just came to our Ninggu Pagoda this year. You have seen how pitiful she is at such a young age. Even grandma usually takes good care of her. Isn't that right? I just hired her to do embroidery work," Chen Qingxuan said hurriedly. While patting the baggage on his hand, he told Uncle Chen, "But Uncle Chen, don't tell that girl. That girl is very stubborn. If you know I gave her five coins in advance, so she must have been against me again."
"That's it, I'll hide it for you. You kid, you've been warm-hearted since you were a child. Just follow your grandma." Uncle Chen nodded and walked into the house with the shovel.
"Oh! Thank you, Uncle Chen." Chen Qingxuan said hurriedly.

What did Ah Chou want to say to Chen Qingxuan just now?
She wanted to borrow some books from Chen Qingxuan. Zhong Mingwei stayed at home all day long. Although he didn't complain about anything, A Chou knew that Zhong Mingwei must be bored. A Chou knew that noble people like them like to read when they have nothing to do. Reading books, listening to plays, etc. She couldn't listen to plays, but she could think of ways to read books.
Chen Qingxuan is a teacher, and the collection of books at home is naturally indispensable. However, people often read them and might need them when teaching, so A Chou didn't have the nerve to ask Chen Qingxuan to borrow them just now.
Since I’m too embarrassed to borrow them, I’ll buy some for Zhong Mingwei. Although she doesn’t have the budget for this, she saved money on a rocking chair a while ago, and she also does embroidery work. It was over, and at least one more penny came into the account, so A Chou was willing to buy a few books for Zhong Mingwei.
There are really not many bookstores in the market. There are only two bookstores in total, one on the east end of the street and one on the west end of the street. The one on the east end of the street didn't dare to go in when he saw the grand entrance hall. So later I went to the bookstore at the west end of the street. The bookstore was not big and didn’t even have a sign. It was dark inside with no light, and there was a faint musty smell in the room. A Chou didn’t dare to enter. , I walked around the door of the bookstore for a long time, and then I bravely entered the bookstore.
"Girl, do you want to buy a book?" The shopkeeper asked with a smile while lying on the counter, looking A Chou up and down while eating melon seeds.
"Well, I'm here to buy books," A Chou looked at the bookshelf inside and asked in a low voice, "What books do you have at home?"
"It depends on what books you want to buy, girl," the shopkeeper smiled so hard that his eyes were crooked, "I'm not bragging. Whatever books you want to buy, girl, I have them in this little shop! That's it! What do you call that...a sparrow is small but has all the internal organs!"
"I didn't read it, I'm not very literate," A Chou said hurriedly. He paused and said with a slight blush, "It's... I want to buy it for my man to read."
"Such a good book, then we have more in the store!" The shopkeeper smiled even brighter. He threw away the melon seeds in his hand while he was so busy, and came out from behind the counter, smiling. Leading A Chou inside, he smiled and said, "Young lady really knows how to find a place, hehe."
A Chou thought that the shopkeeper's smile was a bit strange, but she couldn't tell what was strange about it. She just heard that the shopkeeper changed "girl" into "little lady", and A Chou's face She became even redder, feeling shy and coy, but she couldn't help but feel sweet in her heart.
"Oh, then find me two more books." A Chou nodded, lowered his head and followed the shopkeeper.
"Look, little lady, these are real good books. I'm not bragging, but any normal man would love to read this book." The shopkeeper took A Chou into the room. Then he pulled out a large wooden box from under the bed with a cat's waist, took out a dozen books from it, and smiled mysteriously and proudly at A Chou.
