Su Qingyun was extremely happy after eating the meal, but Su Congjun remained in a trance and was not in the situation.
After dinner, they chatted for a while. Su Qingyun looked at the time and whispered to Su Congjun: "Brother, I made an appointment with my classmates to go to the library. I'll leave first."
Su Congjun was a little worried, "Are you going alone? How about I accompany you?"
"No, I'm not a child anymore." Su Qingyun shook her head and said, "The county library is not far away. I can do it alone. You should spend more time with Sister Sisi." She winked, with a sly look on her face.
Su Congjun hesitated for a moment. He did have something to say, "Well, be careful and watch the time and go to the station. We will go home early. I'm afraid the family will have to wait impatiently."
"Okay." After Su Qingyun finished speaking, he said goodbye to the three Wen family members and went out.
The county library was just a two-story building. It looked dusty outside, and not many people came. It was relatively deserted. Su Qingyun saw Ji Yue standing at the door of the library from a distance. He was wearing a white knitted sweater. Standing tall and straight, holding the camel scarf in his hand, the whole person added a touch of bright color to the gray building behind him. He was indeed a beautiful boy, Su Qingyun sighed.
"Sorry, I'm late. Are you in a hurry?" Su Qingyun apologized.
"No." Ji Yue looked calm, "Let's go in."
Su Qingyun followed him and asked, "Do you come here often?" Seeing that he was familiar with the road.
"Well, I come here occasionally." Ji Yue said, "There are really few books to read in town. There are a little more here."
Su Qingyun nodded and looked around. Rows of not-so-high wooden bookshelves stood there. The books on them were both new and old, with more old ones accounting for more. Some of the books even had no covers. It seemed that the library There have been no new additions to the collection for a long time.
At the borrowing desk on the first floor, there was only an old man sitting there. When he saw two people coming, his gray eyes lit up.
He greeted with a smile: "Ayue, are you here?"
Su Qingyun even admired Ji Yue a little, how come everyone knew him everywhere he went? So does the recycle bin, so does the library.
"Well, Mr. Chu, I haven't been here for a long time." Ji Yue handed over his library card and asked Su Qingyun, "You don't have a library card, do you want to get one?"
"Let's have one, little girl, it's a good thing to read more books." The old man looked expectantly.
"Okay." Su Qingyun nodded, that was what she wanted to do.
"It costs 50 cents to apply for a library card, and a two-dollar deposit is required. The deposit will be refunded when the card is returned."
Su Qingyun handed over the money. The old man took out a pen and wrote the borrower's name and date on a rectangular piece of paper, then stamped it with a bright red seal. Finally, he found a plastic case to put it on and simply borrowed it. The documentary evidence is freshly released.
Su Qingyun looked at it. The ink was not completely dry yet. The three words Su Qingyun were written on it with great momentum and character. From these words, it can be seen that the old man should be more than an ordinary librarian.
The two of them walked to the bookshelf inside, and Ji Yuecai whispered: "Mr. Chu used to be a university professor in the capital."
"What? How could it be?" Su Qingyun's eyes were stunned. How could a university professor in the capital be reduced to a librarian in the county?
"Is it weird?" Ji Yue's eyes were cold, "What else is impossible in this society where humans are like ruts?"
Su Qingyun was silent. For the first time, she was at a loss for words. She didn't know what to say, and she couldn't tell him that this era that was going weird would always get back on track, and it would be in the near future.
"It will get better." She said dryly, feeling powerless.
"Look for a book." Ji Yue returned to his cold expression, as if the cynical person just now was not him.
"good."
The two of them started spinning around casually. Su Qingyun brushed away the depression in her heart and shuttled through the bookshelves like a happy bird.
The books in the library are only divided into simple divisions, literature and history, art, mathematics and science. Both of them are on the mathematics and science side. Su Qingyun's eyes scanned every book on the bookshelf one by one, and picked out the ones that interested him.
Su Qingyun pulled out a copy of "Journal of Mathematics". She was a little surprised. She didn't expect to see mathematical journals here. Doesn't it require a subscription?
When she was in the provincial capital before, she saw a similar mathematics journal at Uncle Qi's house. She thought she could just spend money to subscribe, but she forgot that there was no developed logistics here, so she was the only one to subscribe, in a remote place like Luoshui Village. No one sent it at all.
So, her subscription plan was put on hold.
"You want to see this?" Ji Yue emerged from beside her.
Su Qingyun: "It's hard to find this kind of book here."
"There are more over there." Ji Yue pointed in the direction, "This type of book was ordered by Mr. Chu. After he finished reading it, he put it on the bookshelf for everyone to borrow."
"Mr. Chu...is he a mathematics professor?" Su Qingyun asked tentatively.
"That's probably true. He's not very willing to talk about the past. I know it's not bad."
Su Qingyun sighed inwardly, feeling even more sad that such a scholar was buried.
With his library card allowing him to borrow up to five books at a time, Su Qingyun spent a long time selecting three mathematics journals and two agricultural books.
The books were placed on the borrowing table. Mr. Chu raised his eyes and looked at them, a little surprised, "Do you like reading this kind of book?" He personally subscribed to the journals. He naturally knew how difficult these journals were. Can this girl understand it?
"Quite interesting." Su Qingyun smiled.
"Yes, there are not many children who like math nowadays." Mr. Chu had a better impression of her, "Take it back and read it. If you don't understand anything, you can ask me next time." He is a teacher, so he naturally likes to learn. student.
"Thank you, Grandpa Chu." Su Qingyun smiled sweetly.
Hearing her address, Mr. Chu was startled, "Did A Yue tell you?"
Su Qingyun was afraid that he would mind, so he hurriedly said: "He didn't say anything, he just said that Grandpa Chu is very powerful."
"Hahahahaha." Mr. Chu smiled heartily, "Don't be nervous, I still understand the character of this kid A Yue, do you guys?"
"We are classmates."
"We are at the same table."
Su Qingyun looked at Ji Yue who had just walked over in confusion. Why did he still insist that he was at the same table?
"It's good to have deskmates, deskmates should help each other." Chu Laole said cheerfully, looking at Ji Yue with a teasing smile in his eyes, deskmates are much more friendly than classmates.
Ji Yue looked away and handed out the two books in his hand, "Have you borrowed them?"
"Okay." Su Qingyun nodded and just filled out a form.
"Then let's go."
"Goodbye, Grandpa Chu." Su Qingyun said politely.
"Goodbye, goodbye, come back after reading." Mr. Chu said with a smile on his face.
After the two left, the smile on Mr. Chu's face subsided and returned to calm. The small library seemed extremely empty. After an unknown period of time, a long sigh came from the room, feeling lonely and lonely.
Afraid that their elder brother would be impatient, Su Qingyun and Ji Yue hurried to the station. Su Congjun was already waiting there. Seeing that it was the boy he had met in the morning, he was not too surprised.
"Hello, Brother Su, I am Su Qingyun's classmate, Ji Yue." Ji Yue was a loner, but he had a good tutor and was very polite.
"Hello, hello." Su Congjun nodded, "Let's go, the train is about to leave."
The three of them got on the bus and sat down in the last row.
As the car drove away from the station, the black, white and gray colors of the county slowly turned into the colorful fields. Su Qingyun admired it for a while and then closed his eyes and fell asleep.
The window in the last row was broken and could not be closed with a crack. The cold wind blew in, and Su Qingyun shivered with her eyes closed.
Ji Yue frowned and moved his body forward, blocking the open window so that the cold wind could not blow in. Su Qingyun relaxed his frown.
Su Congjun squinted his eyes when he saw this scene. Is this male classmate quite attentive? He was a little surprised, but didn't think much about it.
The car staggered to the town. Ji Yue said goodbye to the two of them and went home, while the brother and sister walked home slowly.
"Yunyun, tell me, how is that girl?" Zhang Xinlan asked impatiently when she saw the brother and sister entering the room.
"Drink some water first and then talk." Li Xiulian handed her a glass of sugar water.
Su Qingyun was also thirsty and drank it all in one gulp.
"Bao'er, what's going on?" Wu Guixiang couldn't wait any longer.
Su Congjun was a little dumbfounded, "No, mother, shouldn't you ask me?" Isn't this about his marriage?
"What's the point of asking you?" Li Xiulian waved him away impatiently.
Su Qingyun organized her sentences and said: "I think the Wen family is quite good. Sister Sisi is beautiful and has a good personality. She cooks delicious food. It can be seen that Uncle Wen and Aunt Wen are really good to my eldest brother. I don’t mind that our family is from a rural area.”
"The most important thing is..." Su Qingyun paused, and said the most important sentence in the expectant eyes of the whole family, "Uncle Wen has already sent a message, asking our two families to pick a time to have a meal. Let’s discuss the marriage between eldest brother and Sister Sisi.”
"What?" Li Xiulian was stunned.
Wu Guixiang glanced at her and said, "I just want to settle down the marriage over a meal. Why are you, a mother-in-law, dead?"
"Didn't I react?" Li Xiulian was overjoyed, "Does that mean their family doesn't dislike ours?"
"What do you dislike? It's good to be a soldier. They like it and my daughter also likes it. Of course I agreed." Wu Guixiang said confidently.
Zhang Xinlan didn't quite believe it, "Didn't their family say anything about betrothal gifts, like three turns and one ring?"
Su Qingyun: "I didn't mention that."
Su Congjun glanced at his second aunt, "My master and the others are not big talkers. Since they have agreed to the matter between me and Sisi, they will not embarrass our family."
"That's good, that's good." Li Xiulian breathed a sigh of relief.
Wu Guixiang thought for a while, "It's one thing if someone doesn't ask for it, but we can't ignore it. After all, our family is marrying a daughter-in-law, and his future father-in-law is still his master. No matter what, we must let the Wen family feel our sincerity." .”
"Mom is right," Su Aiguo said after being silent for a while.
"Boss, you two should think carefully about how much gift is appropriate." Su Dalin spoke. His eldest grandson's marriage was settled, and he was extremely happy.
"I understand, dad." Su Aiguo responded.
While everyone was busy with Su Congjun's marriage, a letter from his second brother Su Congwen, who had been away from home for a long time, finally arrived after going through many places.
