Crossing the old lady of the farm gate

Chapter 223 Buying Books
Ever since Chen Yunfan and his brothers traveled far away, Li Xiaohe drove the carriage himself.

"Boss, daughter-in-law, your carriage is becoming more and more stylish."

"Isn't this also forced and helpless? My husband and the others are not at home, so I can only drive the carriage by myself. Among our sisters-in-law, I am the only one with the best skills, so they don't worry about letting me drive the carriage."

"Or let's buy a coachman, so you don't have to be exposed to the wind and sun outside."

"Mother, it's okay, I can do all these things myself, so I don't need to waste my money."

"Mother, the city gate is here, can you find the bookstore? Do you want me to take you there?"

"No, I'll just go around by myself. Go ahead and go back together."

Seeing Chen Yazhi's absent-minded look, Bai Lan asked curiously: "Yazhi, what's the matter with you for a while, how did you talk when I didn't see you all the way?"

"Mom, I'm fine, maybe I'm a little too tired for a while."

"If you are too tired, just rest at home for a day. It doesn't matter if the shop earns a day less money, or you can just hand it over to the people in the shop and check the accounts together the next day."

"Okay, I see, mother."

Bai Lan walked blindly on the street alone, and finally found a bookstore with a relatively large facade.

"Shopkeeper, do you have any books about overseas? I want to take a look."

"Old woman, you really don't have the books you want. Few people buy such books. My shop doesn't sell books about overseas, because even if I sell them, no one can understand them. , You should go to the capital for books like this, maybe you can still buy them."

Bai Lan thanked the shopkeeper with a disappointed face, walked out of the shop, and looked into the distance, could it be that she couldn't buy this book?

"Forget it, let's go to a few more shops and ask. If you can't buy it, you can only find the system, but you have to lie again."

Bai Lan walked into another bookstore with a little hope.

"Shopkeeper, does your family sell books about overseas?"

"Sorry, we don't have this kind of bookstore in our family. If you want to buy it, you can only go to the capital to see it. Although there will be a group of foreign businessmen in our county from time to time, there are really few overseas bookstores of that kind. Few people can understand overseas books, and no one will buy them, so keeping them there is also attracting ashes.”

"It seems that I have to think of another reason to explain the origin of those English books."

Bai Lan went to two shops, saying that they might be sold only in the capital, and she didn't plan to look for them again, but after thinking about it, there happened to be a bookstore not far away.Anyway, it’s not far away, so I plan to go to that store and ask. If I can’t find it, I can only buy it from the system.

"Shopkeeper, do you have any overseas books here?"

"This old lady, why do you want overseas books? Even if you buy them, you can't understand them. They are all symbols."

"Shopkeeper, do you have any here?"

"Yes, those books were given to me by a friend of mine. When he was studying abroad, an overseas tourist forwarded it to him. He said he couldn't understand it, so he gave it to me as a souvenir, but I read it for a long time. I didn’t understand it either. Since you need it, I’ll give it to you. I also said that it was written for him by overseas tourists to let him learn foreign languages, but he really didn’t understand it, so I gave it to me as a souvenir. , although I am a little bit reluctant, seeing that you seem to need it very much, then I will transfer it to you."

"Thank you, shopkeeper. Don't worry. I'm just borrowing it. A book like this should be of commemorative significance to you. I'll make another copy by hand and return it to you when the time comes. What do you think?"

"Okay, those are all symbols, are you sure you can understand them?"

"I also met a traveling businessman from overseas before. He taught me a few words. I can probably remember a little bit. I'll understand it by myself when the time comes."

"Old lady, you are really powerful, you can understand all this."

"good."

"Wait here for a while, I'll go in and get it for you."

"Look at it, that's all."

"Bai Lan carefully opened the book. All the books are written in English. Fortunately, it is similar to the English she learned before, so I finally don't have to worry about not knowing her."

"Okay, I'll return it to you when I'm done using it up, do you need me to put some deposit, or I'll give you some money."

"No need, just take it away."
