Chapter 119 118. Sign me

The timber was brought in and sent directly to Lord Ruibin's house on the mountain, where Xiang Jin counted the quantity with Dad Dengwei and the others, and then went home to peel the corn after paying the final payment.

Just when they were peeling halfway, Yan Chen came with a thick stack of books.

Looking at the neat books wrapped in thick kraft paper, she stood up from the stool unhurriedly, looked at him and said, "Who are you?"

Yan Chen said indifferently, "Some time ago, my family sent me something, and then I asked them to send me some of these books by the way. It just arrived yesterday, so I will bring it to you today."

Looking at the books handed to him, the corners of Xiang Jin's mouth slightly raised, "Are you really sent?"

Yan Chen casually said, "It's not on purpose, it's just something along the way."

Xiang Jin nodded, reached out to take it, then knelt down to unpack the package, picked up the top one and flipped through it briefly, "Hu Sanxing's note book?"

Yan Chen nodded, "There is a vernacular translation of Populus euphratica, but I think Hu Sanxing's annotated version is better."

Xiang Jin nodded, "That's true, the one I read before was also written by Hu Sanxing."

Yan Chen said, "There are a total of twenty volumes in this paperback edition, and my family only sent me five volumes this time. You read it first, and I'll find you the next one after you finish reading it."

Xiang Jin said, "It will take me a long time to read these five volumes, so I'm not in a hurry, oh, by the way, how much is it, I'll give it to you?" She was about to turn around and enter the room.

Yan Chen grabbed her, and Xiang Jin turned to look at him, "Is there anything else?"

Yan Chen shook his head, "No, you don't need to give me money for this book, I'll give it to you."

"Give it to me?" So much, it must cost a lot of money, right?Xiang Jin thought so.

Yan Chen seemed to see what she was thinking, and then a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Don't worry, it didn't cost much. My best friend's family owns a bookstore, so I can get the goods at cost price."

"A very good classmate? How close can you be?" Xiang Jin leaned in front of him and asked with a teasing face.

Yan Chen said, "I grew up in a military compound, and I have been classmates since kindergarten."

"Oh, Fa Xiao?" Xiang Jin nodded suddenly.

"Well, almost." Yan Chen also nodded, and then said, "Everything, if you have any books to buy in the future, you can ask me, and I will buy them for you."

Xiang Jin said, "That's so embarrassing to make you owe people favors."

Yan Chen said, "It's nothing, I always buy books at their house at cost price."

Xiang Jin nodded, responded politely, and said, "Wait a minute, I'll go in and get something."

Yan Chen nodded, Xiang Jin turned and went in, and then came out again soon, with a pen in her hand, and handed it to Yan Chen, "Sign it for me."

"Huh?" Yan Chen was surprised.

Xiang Jin said as a matter of course, "You gave me the book, so of course you have to sign your name."

"If I give you a book, I must sign my name?" Why does he think her reason is far-fetched?
Xiang Jin said, "It's not necessarily true, but I think, your handwriting is beautiful, and you should leave some traces in this book."

"Oh, that's fine," Yan Chen smiled helplessly, then he took the pen from her hand, then opened a book, picked up the pen and wanted to write, Xiang Jin hurriedly reminded, "Every book must be signed. Ha, and also write down the date of payment, a certain day of a certain month and a certain year."

Yan Chen looked up at her for a moment, then the corners of his mouth curled up, and then he picked up a pen to write, and then Xiang Jin saw that he wrote the five words "Yan Chen presents Xiang Jin" on it, and then Each book is like that five words.

"Okay." After the last book was signed, he handed her the book and the pen together.

"Well, it's really well written. If you become a famous painter or calligrapher in the future, my book will be worth a lot," Xiang Jin stretched out his hand to take it, and couldn't help teasing at the same time.

Yan Chen said, "Then you will be disappointed, I will not be a painter or a calligrapher."

Xiang Jin said, "It's okay to be a scientist. In short, it's okay to be a celebrity!"

Yan Chen stared at her for a moment, "So that's why you asked me to sign?"

"That is, the autographs of celebrities, how can they be of some value? If I can meet that kind of crazy fans of yours, I'm sure I can sell them for a good price. At that time, I can count on these books to make a fortune Got rich."

Yan Chen said, "Then I have to thank you for looking up to me, but I still have to tell you the truth, these books will not be of any useful value at that time, so you should keep them for yourself and read them carefully." Bar."

"Tch, belittle yourself," Xiang Jin gave him an annoyed look.

The corner of Yan Chen's mouth curled into a small arc, "Also, this book is not enough to buy, and you'd better not give it away to others."

Xiang Jin felt strange, "Didn't you say last time that this book is easy to buy in the provincial capital, why is it so hard to buy now?"

Yan Chen said, "It's very easy to buy, but there are too many editions. This edition of the book is often out of stock. Last time you said you wanted to find this book, you sent me a small phone call when I got back, and then he asked them to find it at home. It took me several days to find all five volumes, so it took me so long to give them to you."

Xiang Jin thought for a while, and it seemed that it had been a long time, so she nodded and said, "Okay, I understand, don't worry, this book is only for me to read, besides, I guess few people are willing to read this kind of book."

Yan Chen just laughed, and then said goodbye and went back. After Xiang Jin took the book back to the room, she continued to sit down and peel the corn. There was still half of it, and she had to try her best to finish peeling them all today and tomorrow.

Because her grandmother said that the corn poles in the field were cut down, and the sweet potato vines were exposed. At that time, those sweet potato vines had to be turned over, and then the weeds in the field were torn off by the way.

Xiang Jin thought to herself, and at the same time, she felt overwhelmed. She has been a farmer once and for all. Since she came here, she has never stopped doing farm work.

Throwing pigweed, feeding pigs, chickens, ducks and cattle, chopping firewood, breaking corn, cutting bales of grain, packing firewood, etc., things that she has never touched in her previous life, and things she has never heard of. The short period of one month in my life turned out to be enough to experience it.

She really missed the bright and air-conditioned big office, the big conference room, her car and bungalow, the "big money" in her bank card, and the special food from various places in her previous life.

So in this life, she still has to go back to the big city to live the life she wants to live. She doesn't want to spend her whole life in this remote mountain corner where birds don't shit and be a local girl who deals with mud or dust all day long. .
