Chapter 217 Borrowing Books
Ye Xiangchun flipped through the small book in his hand again, and after making sure that he could read most of the characters, he told Man Bao the content of the story.

The other three children of the Wang family also came over to listen to Ye Xiangchun's lecture together.

Instead, Jing Yu stood aside, looking at Ye Xiangchun proudly, as if he taught Ye Xiangchun to read.

After finishing speaking, Ye Xiangchun asked: "Man Bao, does your father still have such a small book? Do you have any other books?"

"Yes." Man Bao said proudly: "My father said that when he was a child, he asked his teacher to teach him. If it wasn't for his leg disease, he could still be a scholar. But my father's books are precious, and you can't just borrow them from others. .”

Ye Xiangchun returned the book to Man Bao, and did not forget to say "thank you".As for borrowing books, Man Bao definitely didn't count. She had to go directly to Wang Zizi.

Ye Xiangchun busily boiled two large pots of water to dry, and then went to find Wang Zizi.

Cripple Wang was still sitting in the front room, and he didn't seem to walk around casually when he had nothing to do.

But what he has in front of him now is not like an account book, but a rather thick book.

Ye Xiangchun thought in his heart: It's just right, so I don't have to find a topic.I just made do and asked, "Brother Wang, what book are you reading?"

Cripple Wang smiled, and asked Ye Xiangchun, "Your sister can also read? I heard you lecturing to Man Bao just now."

"Hehe, I know a little bit, and I don't know if I'm right." Ye Xiangchun said modestly.

"Yes." Lame Wang asked again, "So, you want to borrow a book?"

"Brother Wang, will you borrow it? Or I can rent the book." Ye Xiangchun thought for a while, and then said: "But I don't have any money now, so you can ask me to work for you."

Cripple Wang was speechless for a long time, but his expression didn't look like he was going to refuse, he was probably thinking about some conditions.

Ye Xiangchun waited patiently for him to speak, and by the way, took a close look at the book Wang Laizi put in front of him.

After just a few glances, Ye Xiangchun realized that it should be a book about history.

Ye Xiangchun knew most of the words above, but the meaning of the ancient text was very different from the modern text. She had to translate and read bit by bit before she could barely understand it.

As soon as Cripple Wang looked up, he saw Ye Xiangchun staring at the book in front of him.He pushed the book a little in front of Ye Xiangchun, and said, "Read and listen."

"In the early days, the country was Jin, and the public was King..." Ye Xiangchun frowned when he read this, and his heart suddenly shrank.

Wang Zizi thought that Ye Xiangchun stopped because he couldn't read the following words, so he smiled and said, "You don't know many words?"

"Yeah." Ye Xiangchun replied vaguely, and asked, "Brother Wang, can you lend me this history book? I promise to keep it well so that it won't get wrinkled or dirty."

Cripple Wang hesitated for a moment, and said, "This book is too difficult for you to read. I will lend you another one. But you have to promise me one condition."

Ye Xiangchun glanced at the history book again, feeling a little pity.

But it would be great to borrow other books, so she nodded and said, "Brother Wang, please tell me."

Wang Lizi pointed out the window and said: "My four children are all healthy and without disease. I don't want them to live in this small village for the rest of their lives. I see that the Ye family sister is knowledgeable and can read, so I want you to take them with me. Watching my four children study and study."

"Brother Wang means...to find a companion for Man Bao and the others?" Ye Xiangchun thought, is he still suitable to be a book boy at his age?
