    Chapter 48 Xiao Shengtian¡¯s book

    The books Xiao Shengtian talked about were piled up in a windowless room nearby. It was a mess with all kinds of sundries. Some of them looked quite old, so Gu Qingxi took a few more glances.

    She knew that many things in his house had been smashed and burned, but after all, the family had a big business, and some corners or seemingly inconspicuous things might not have been burned. After all, in remote rural areas like theirs, they were not as strict as outside. Many  People just go through the process, or pick up the most important things and make a fuss, looking respectable and beautiful.

    "These are some old items that my grandma used in the past. They are too old and some are broken. They are just piled here and I can't use them myself."

    Gu Qingxi's sharp eyes discovered that there was an embroidered pier inside. It was antique and the wood seemed to be of good quality.

    Xiao Shengtian also noticed it. He brought the kerosene lantern in his hand closer and took a photo: "My grandma used to sit on it, and it was left in the yard to gather dust. No one noticed it, or it would be smashed."

    Gu Qingxi nodded: "It's better to keep the old man's things."

    Xiao Shengtian: "Yeah."

    While saying this, the two people walked to the kang in the utility room. There were all kinds of things piled up on the kang, which were messy, some good and some bad.

    Xiao Shengtian handed the kerosene lantern to Gu Qingxi, and he stepped up and rummaged inside.

    Gu Qingxi curiously looked at the large pit that occupied less than half of the room. The mottled walls were covered with New Year paintings whose original colors had long been lost. On the kang were stacked black pottery pots, wooden basins, and wooden boards with missing legs.  The stools and other items were covered with dust and looked dilapidated.

    "Actually, these are quite good and can be used after taking care of them." Gu Qingxi felt it was a pity. She also wondered how Xiao Shengtian could live alone.

    "It's of no use even if it's arranged and arranged. It's better to just put it here. No one wants it after it's broken like this." Xiao Shengtian explained casually. When he said this, he was moving out a wooden box.

    Gu Qingxi listened and understood immediately.

    Those things in the house, regardless of whether they will cause trouble in these days, even if they are taken care of and displayed, they will inevitably be missed by others. It is better to just pile them up as debris. Most rural people are simple, do not understand, and do not know how to  Think more.

    The box Xiao Shengtian moved out was a box nailed with broken wooden boards. The broken wooden boards were full of burrs, and the nails were even more painful.

    Gu Qingxi hurriedly stepped forward and helped him put it away.

    After that, Xiao Shengtian jumped off the kang and opened the box.

    Gu Qingxi carefully picked up a book, only to see that the pages were brittle and yellowish, with "Republic Textbook New Arithmetic" written in red traditional Chinese characters. When he opened the title page, he saw that it was written in traditional Chinese, with vertical characters, and Juanxiu in some places.  Gu Qingxi understood: "This is what your grandma used, right?"

    Xiao Shengtian: "Yes."

    He picked up several other books and looked at them. Under the dim kerosene lantern, Gu Qingxi vaguely recognized that there were "Business Women's Chinese Textbook", "Women's Self-cultivation Textbook" and "Enlightened Chinese Textbook". Looking further down, there were also "Chinese Textbooks for Business Women" from the Republic of China period.  "Journey to the West" and "A Dream of Red Mansions" in traditional Chinese.

    Gu Qingxi was shocked by what she saw. She knew that fortunately it was at this time. If these things had been discovered a few years earlier, it would have been a catastrophe.

    ¡°I just don¡¯t know how his grandmother felt about burying these in the ground and taking risks to preserve them.

    As she was flipping through the pages, she suddenly saw a book, her hand stopped, and she picked up the book almost in disbelief.

    That is a book called "The Wealth of Nations", in traditional Chinese, published by Sanlian Publishing House.

    This book coincides with her English version. She can read it in Chinese and English side by side, and she can even learn how to translate it.

    She stared at the "Wealth of Nations" for a long time

    However, she finally gave up.

    Xiao Shengtian naturally noticed it.

    The wind blew by, even with the glass lampshade, the kerosene lamp was still shaking, making the light and shadow in the dilapidated old shabby room blur. Xiao Shengtian looked at Gu Qingxi in the dim light.

    She lowered her eyes, and her fair face was covered with a faint halo, calm and soft, like a painting reflected on the wall at midnight.

    Xiao Shengtian held his breath and asked in a low voice: "Do you like this book?"

    Gu Qingxi nodded hurriedly: "Well, it's a very good book."

    Xiao Shengtian: ¡°Then I¡¯ll give it to you.¡±

    Gu Qingxi: "Huh? It's not appropriate."

    Xiao Shengtian lowered his head and stared at her and asked: "How??One really hopes that she will improve, and the other is that in the process of teaching her, I can also discover my own shortcomings and deepen my own impression. This is a good thing that benefits myself and others.

    Yan Shujing thought about the environment in the dormitory. One was that she couldn't read often, which attracted too much attention. The other was that there was pink eye in the dormitory. What if another informant came to check the dormitory or something like that?

    She had an idea: "How about this? I won't live in the dormitory all the time. I will go home for a day or two. You can live with me in my house. Then we can learn English with confidence and boldness!"

    Gu Qingxi: "That's definitely inappropriate. How can I come to your house? It's too disturbing."

    Yan Shujing was very serious: "Qingxi, I'm not joking with you. After you said that, I really feel that I should learn English well. Now my English level is worse than yours, so I have to learn from you, and I still hope  You teach me, but don¡¯t we have no place to study now? The house that my family has just moved out from the original Tongzi Building is a two-bedroom apartment. I have a separate bedroom. You and I will live in the same house.  "

    Listening to this, Gu Qingxi still felt that it was not appropriate: "Where are my uncle and aunt?"

    Yan Shujing smiled: "Don't worry, my parents only want me to study hard. They have also heard of you and know that you are good at studying. They are eager for me to date you. If they know that you are coming to live in my house,  I must be very happy.¡±

    What she didn¡¯t say was that in fact, her parents had heard that Gu Qingxi was good at studying and asked her to study with Gu Qingxi, but she was disdainful at the time and felt that Gu Qingxi was a little aloof and didn¡¯t want to get close to him. But now she realizes that she may have had some misunderstandings before.

    Gu Qingxi still felt that it was too troublesome, so she declined in the end.

    Who would have known that after Yan Shujing returned home that day, Yan Shujing¡¯s mother actually came looking for her.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
