In this way, Xu San's position as quartermaster was finalized.

However, He Yong told him that it would take some time before he can take office, ranging from half a month to a month, because there are many interests to deal with.

Xu San was not in a hurry. This official job was originally for nothing. If people see that he has acted too hastily, he will be fooled and his character will collapse.

When leaving the battalion headquarters, Xu San specially asked for Sun Changhai, intending to take him with him to keep an eye on him.

He Yong didn't shirk it. He was just an ordinary big-headed soldier, and the arrangements were the same everywhere. Moreover, Xu San was considered a new official, so it was no big deal to bring a confidant with him.

Compared to getting promoted, Xu San still feels that buying books for the little girl is more important.

Sitting on the motorcycle, the pain all over his body hit him again, making him grimace in pain.

Following the excessive amount of exercise performed by the Yamamoto Special Forces Team for two consecutive days, although there was some relief from Qijutsu training, the sequelae of sudden exercise without a lot of exercise for a long time also began to show up.

He had felt something in the morning, but he didn't expect it to be getting worse now. When he just sat on the car seat, he felt as if he had been pricked by needles, and every muscle in his body felt sore. All trembling.

Just be patient, it will get better in a few days. Isn't that how military training is done?

I believe that after it passes, my physical fitness will improve a lot.

.

Cuizhu Study is the largest bookstore in Ping'an City. This is also Xu San's first time visiting such a place.

The place is not big. After stepping through two antique wooden doors, before I could take a closer look, my nose smelled the scent of ink that is unique to books. Even Xu San, who was not a scholar, felt an inexplicable excitement. It seems that I got the wisdom +1 bu instantly.

There were no students studying or shopping guides. There was only a thin old man wearing a long gown sitting at the counter and leisurely reading "Notes of Yuewei Thatched Cottage". He raised his eyelids and glanced at Xu San, then stopped paying attention.

Although I was a little surprised why this puppet army came, in comparison, the book in front of me was more interesting.

Without disturbing the old man, Xu San started to read it himself.

Compared with other stores of this era, this bookstore actually has the feel of a later supermarket.

Half of the books are scattered on the table or on the bookshelf. These books are unattended and can be taken as long as you want to read them.

Others, which may be rare or unique books, will be placed on the counter.

This design is probably due to the self-righteousness of scholars.

Gentlemen don't steal books?

Haha, isn’t there another Kong Yiji?

I randomly picked up a book called "Three Kingdoms", but it was boring. I felt like sleeping after reading less than a page.

I picked up a few books at random, and they were all similar. They were basically literature and history books. Occasionally, they were also chapter-by-chapter style, which I didn’t get used to.

After looking around for a while, I found that most of the books seemed to be of little use to little girls.

Not wanting to stay any longer, Xu San quickly selected the Three Character Classic, Disciple Rules, and Hundred Family Surnames. After thinking about it, he picked up another book called The Analects. Unfortunately, these books had no annotations.

After choosing the books, Xu San chose some straw paper for calligraphy and manuscript paper for writing. The quality of the paper was pretty good.

After making the selection, I checked out and paid, which cost a little more than an ocean.

This amount of money is not much for Xu San, but for ordinary people, it is a large expenditure.

After paying the money, Xu San sighed, it is not easy to study in this era.

Holding the book, Xu San was thoughtful, and seemed to feel that something was missing. Suddenly an idea came to his mind: "Shopkeeper, do you have any books by Mr. Lu Xun?"

The old man looked up at Xu San, "No!" After saying that, he continued to lower his head and read.

Sure enough, Mr. Lu Xun's books were considered contraband in many places in this era and were difficult to buy, but Xu San did not give up. "Shopkeeper, don't judge a book by its cover. I have read a few of Mr. Lu Xun's articles and I liked them very much. Really, I won't lie to you." Xu San said sincerely, looking at the old man eagerly.

The shopkeeper looked at Xu San carefully for a while and then said quietly, "Have you really read Mr.'s book?"

"In the back garden of my house, you can see two trees, one is a jujube tree, and the other is also a jujube tree." Xu San said.

The old man frowned, feeling that what Xu San said was a bit inexplicable.

"There is no road in the world, but when there are more people walking, it becomes a road." Xu San said a golden saying from Mr. Lu Xun.

The old man's eyes lit up, and then he nodded, "It seems that you have really read Mr.'s book."

"I'm lucky enough to have read a few." Xu San replied with a smile.

"The book can be sold to you, but it can only be read by yourself. You cannot borrow it from others at will." The old man warned.

Sure enough, Xu San was happy and quickly agreed, "I know, I know! I'll just read it at home and won't take it out."

The old man nodded slightly, put down the book in his hand, walked to a bookshelf, took out a few thin books from the depths, and then walked to Xu San: "Here you are! These are the only books I have here. If you If you want to see more, you have to look too far.”

"Scream", published by Yanjing New Chao Press;

"Wandering, Yanjing Beixin Bookstore;

"Pseudo Free Book", Qingguang Bookstore, Shanghai;

"Newly compiled story, Magic City Cultural Life Publishing House."

There were only four books in total, and they cost an ocean, and the old man actually gave them a zero.

Looking at the four books in his hand, Xu San was still very satisfied. He didn't expect to actually buy them, and this was a real unabridged version.

When I was in school, I really hated Mr. Lu Xun. He wrote so many obscure articles that I almost had to recite them all.

Thinking about it at that time, my husband's articles were basically like nightmares. However, as my age and experience increase, I can understand the stories in the book more and more, and I can gain insights every time I read them.

Looking at the book in his hand, Xu San thought that if he met the little rich woman again, he should also let him read this book, and then ask her to help him buy other Lu Xun books, and try to collect a set of "Lu Xun" in this era. Complete collection.

Lu Xun's books were all there, so Xu San believed that this bookstore would also have some of the other banned books, so he came close to the old man and asked in a low voice: "Sir, do you have "Juehou Zen"?"

After hearing Xu San's words, the old man couldn't help blowing his beard, "No! No! My study is very clean, there is no such book!"

Xu San shrugged, "Pretend I didn't ask." After saying that, he picked up the book and left the study.

There are no fountain pens or fountain pens in the study room, but Xu San doesn't care. He has the fountain pen himself, and there is fountain pen fountain at the door. He can just ask them to mix it up when the time comes. How much ink can a little girl use? I believe that the shopkeeper named Tian Wang can't do it either. Just be stingy with the pen water.
