Plane Small Bookstore [System]

Liang Meiru got off the car and looked up at the sign above: Kaiming Bookstore.

Yep, it's here.

She picked up the small bag and walked slowly into the store, glanced casually at the decorations in the store, and nodded secretly.It looks clean and bright, tidy and generous, and the most important thing is that there are many books. No wonder the 'talented girl' Wang Shuman, who always has her eyes above her head, can set foot in this kind of place.

Seeing her coming in, the boss sitting in front of the counter quickly stood up.

He was wearing a robe, with fair skin, clear eyes, and a kind of gentleness unique to a scholar, which made people feel good at first sight.

Liang Meiru was secretly stunned by the boss's good looks, but she didn't show it at all on her face. She raised her chin slightly, and said with a hint of imperceptible dignity: "Boss, I want a copy of "Wukong Biography."

The young man replied apologetically, "Sorry, "Wukong Biography" has been sold out."

This answer was obviously beyond Liang Meiru's expectation.

At afternoon tea, Wang Shuman brought "Wukong Biography", which is called to share the recent new book, but in fact is to show off his depth and connotation.Others naturally knew the elegant meaning by listening to the string song, and began to praise Wang Shuman as a talented woman who was knowledgeable and versatile.Liang Meiru didn't say anything, but was angry in her heart.

Isn't it just "The Legend of Wukong"?She wants to see how good this book is!That's why she came here as soon as the tea party was over.

Although she was very disappointed, she still maintained her due demeanor and asked, "When will the new book arrive?"

The young man smiled: "This is not sure." He suggested: "We have other books here, you can read them."

"Why can't you tell for sure?" Liang Meiru's expression was inadvertently expensive, "Where did you get the book, tell me, I'll buy it!"

"Sorry, this is a commercial confidentiality, no comment."

Liang Meiru was taken aback, she didn't expect that she would run into trouble with this gentle-looking boss.Although she was unhappy, when she thought of Wang Shuman's proud face, she put down her anger and said softly, "Tell me quietly, and I promise not to tell others!"

Le Jing sighed, and had no choice but to say: "In a short time, this book will be available in China, and you can go to China to buy it."

Liang Meiru stared at Lejing for a few seconds, and reluctantly accepted this explanation.But she was not willing to let her return empty-handed, so she asked: "Boss, do you have any other good-looking books here?"

"There are too many good-looking books here. I don't know which one you want?"

Liang Meiru said firmly: "A literary book with more connotations and depth than "The Legend of Wukong"!"

Does Wang Shuman take a few books every day to pretend she is a talented woman?It's not that her father is rich, and her ancestors were Jinshi, that's why a bunch of people praise her as a bad foot.In terms of family background, she is not inferior to her, and she has also attended a girls' school for many years, so why should she be laughed at by them as the daughter of a nouveau riche?

At the next tea party, she must bring out a book like "The Legend of Wukong"!At that time, let's see how Wang Shuman still has the face to call herself a talented woman!

However, regarding her request, the young man looked helpless, "Sorry, this condition is too broad. I can tell you hundreds of different books in one go."

Liang Meiru was stunned. Are there so many books?

Then... "Take the best of them all!"

Le Jing looked at the rich lady and didn't know how to explain to her the so-called Wen Wu No. [-].

Moreover, the so-called "good-looking" itself varies from person to person, and there is no uniform standard.

He figured it out.This young lady didn't buy books for reading at all. In the words of later generations, she was purely for pretending.

For this kind of customers, Le Jing said with a smile: "I think "Faust", "Anna Karenina", "War and Peace", "For Whom the Bell Tolls" and "One Hundred Years of Solitude" are all suitable for you. Require."

If the lady looked a little more "gloomy", he would recommend books such as "No Man in the World" and "Twentieth Century Standard Bearer" by Osamu Dazai.

Liang Meiru blinked her eyes, these books sounded very powerful.So the rich lady raised her chin and said briskly, "I want all these books!"

Le Jing nodded to Keynes, and Keynes shuttled between the bookcases, and soon came to Le Jing with a tall stack of books.

Seeing these "tomes", Liang Meiru's eyes lit up immediately.These books look much thicker than "Wukong Biography"!Looking at the author's name again, she was even more satisfied - they were all foreign names!And the names are very long!

These books are more face-saving than "Wukong Biography" when they are taken out!

Miss Liang asked in a good mood: "How much?"

Without batting an eye, Le Jing quoted a price ten times higher than the fixed price.

As expected, the local tyrant readily paid the bill.

It would be great if there were more local tyrants like this, Le Jing counted the money and thought with a smile, so that he could donate more money to the domestic anti-Japanese war this month.

■

The local tyrant didn't leave for long when Lin Qiaosheng came in in a daze.

Since he bought the book in Lejing, the two have gradually become acquainted.Seeing his appearance, Le Jing asked, "You don't look very well, what's the matter?"

Lin Qiaosheng lowered his head, looked at the counter with dull eyes, and replied in a daze, "Zian has returned to China."

Le Jing was not particularly surprised.

He had met Lin Zian a few times before, and at that time he had already revealed the idea of ​​returning to the country to fight the war.So he replied calmly: "This is his choice. As a friend, we can only wish him peace."

Lin Qiaosheng didn't seem to have heard Le Jing's words. He looked like an eggplant beaten by frost, and his voice sounded extremely weak: "Zian is different from me. His parents are both dead, and he has no brothers or sisters. If he is not married and leaves no descendants, if he dies, their family will be completely extinct."

Le Jing opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

And Lin Qiaosheng's narration continued: "I persuaded him, and I questioned him, how can you be worthy of your dead parents? But he said..." He covered his face, two lines of tears rolled down his cheeks, "The country He is going to die, he just hides in Malaysia in order to embarrass his parents."

"He also said..." His voice was hoarse and trembling, "the war will definitely be won, but he must be dead by then. He saved me from having to look for him, shrouded in horse leather, buried in green hills, It was the best ending he could have imagined."

"He told me not to look for him! He told me not to look for him?" He suddenly looked up at Le Jing, his eyes were red, his right hand clasped his heart tightly, tears streaming down his face, "He's dead, I'm the only one I remember his person, how can I not look for him? How can I not look for him?!"

Le Jing was speechless, he patted his shoulder, not knowing what to say.

He suddenly remembered a passage recorded by later generations: At the end of the Anti-Japanese War, an American reporter stopped a soldier rushing to the front line.It was the childish face of this soldier that caught the attention of American reporters.

American reporter asked: How old are you?The soldier replied: 16 years old.

Reporter: Do you miss your family?The soldier said: They are already dead.

The reporter was silent for a while: Do you think China can win?

The soldier said firmly: China will definitely win.

Reporter: When China wins, what are you going to do?Marry a wife and have children?

The soldier smiled: I was already dead at that time. ①

No one knows the name of the 16-year-old boy, where he is from.No one knows his past and future.

There are only shocking deaths left in the history books, and only the victories or failures of battles.

Then came the victory in 1945.But they can't see it anymore.

Four years later, it will be a new era.

And those tens of millions of corpses, together with that painful and dark era, will be forever buried in the sea of ​​clouds of history and buried in the humiliating memory of the nation.

They came to this world in humiliation, and then died in humiliation. They will never know how confident and proud the Chinese people will be in the future.

Le Jing said, "I remember."

Lin Qiaosheng was stunned: "What?"

"I remember his name is Lin Zian, what kind of person he was." The sadness in the young man's eyes was shining, "I will remember him forever."

Perhaps, he came to this era just to witness.

Witness how desperate this nation was, how brave, strong, loyal, and persistent the people of this nation were, and how this great country staggered to stand up after being knocked down.

Lin Qiaosheng was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked: "Do you really look down on me?"

Le Jing was surprised: "Why do you say that? How could I look down on you?"

"Because I also look down on myself." Lin Qiaosheng lowered his eyes, with a look of painful struggle on his face, "The country is at stake, I just hide in Malaysia and try to survive, and prevent Zi'an from returning to China, I am a cowardly person .I can hardly be called a man!"

Le Jing was silent for a while, then lifted Lin Qiaosheng's head, looked him in the eyes seriously, and said firmly: "There are many ways to be patriotic. Participating in the war for the country is patriotism, and donating money for the country is also patriotism. Both are There is no distinction between being patriotic. You don’t have to be ashamed.”

"I know your kindness." Lin Qiaosheng turned his eyes away, and said with a wry smile, "You don't need to comfort me, I am not as brave as Zi'an, there is no doubt about it."

Seeing that he was already at the tip of his horn, Le Jing didn't persuade him, but only asked, "Would you like to do me a favor?"

"what?"

"I heard that your employer has an affair with Mr. Tan Kah Kee, can you introduce me to meet Mr. Tan Kah Kee?"

Tan Kah Kee, who is the chairman of the well-known Nanqiao Association in later generations, served the country and the people all his life, and was a great patriot.

Lin Qiaosheng looked at Le Jing in doubt: "What do you want to do with Mr. Chen? With all due respect, Mr. Chen is busy with affairs and has high morals. Even if my boss intercedes, ordinary people will not see him, and..."

He didn't say a word, Le Jing also understood what he meant.He was just a part-time accountant for his boss, and he didn't have enough face for his boss to intercede with Le Jing and use his connections.

Le Jing said solemnly: "I have something to give to Mr. Tan Kah Kee. This matter is related to the national sports and national destiny, and I must hand it over to him personally. Please let me meet with your boss, and I will try my best to convince him."

Yes, he must pass on the knowledge of later generations to Mr. Tan Kah Kee.

He does not seek to change history, but only hopes that these inventions from later generations can raise a lot of funds for the domestic anti-Japanese war, so that China can win the war less tragically!

The author has something to say:

①I saw this passage on the Internet. It is the original sentence. Because I saw it in many news and articles, the source can no longer be tested.

Tan Kah Kee is a very great person, but at the same time he is also a very sensitive person, so I will soon reduce the description of his scenes.

And, in order to avoid being harmonized as much as possible, the protagonist of this dungeon is abroad from the beginning to the end and will not return to China.Well, just in case, I'm going to start overhead next!I will rack very empty very empty!
