The two brothers came all the way to Zhenxitou Bookstore. Tang Yi looked up. The signboard of the bookstore had the words Boguang Bookstore written on it, but the signboard was very old and the shop was not big. It was indeed bigger than Fenglai Bookstore. Much poorer.

When Tang Yi walked in, there was not even a clerk in the shop, but a five or 60-year-old old shopkeeper who personally picked up the customers. Tang Shi and Tang Yi were dressed in pudding and coarse clothes, and his body still smelled of sweat from a day's work. He didn't say much, he still had a smile on his face, and asked politely, "What do you two need?"

Tang Yi asked the price of the paper and pen, and while listening to the answer, he looked around. This bookstore is very small, and the things inside are relatively old. Many books are curled up. There are two plainly dressed scholars standing in the corner reading , the shopkeeper did not stop.

After listening to the shopkeeper's answer, Tang Yi found that the pens and papers in this store are a little cheaper than those in Fenglai Bookstore, but the relative quality is also a little worse. However, the boss has a very good attitude. He asked Tang Yi some questions carefully, and learned that Tang Yi is now I can't read big characters, but I really want to have some admiration after reading.

"The young man knows that it is a good thing to be motivated, but the cost of my small shop is small, and it really can't be cheaper, but if you are interested, you can come to my place to read books. Yes, just one penny for each book.”

Tang Yi was a little moved. Such a real boss is really rare, so he chatted a few more words: "Shopkeeper, what books do you have here?"

The shopkeeper said: "There are [-] Enlightenment books, as well as the Four Books and Five Classics, but there are only two sets, which can only be read here and cannot be taken away. There are also some drama books, which are the most popular."

Tang Yi nodded and asked, "Where does the shopkeeper do business, where does the profit come from?"

The shopkeeper smiled, not to blame for his bluntness: "Hey, I'm too old to do business anymore. It's not as good as Fenglai Bookstore in the east of the town. If I just guard this small shop, how much can I sell?" How much, if you can’t sell it, it’s good to watch you young people study.”

It's a Buddhist boss, Tang Yixin said, but there is a businessman who doesn't want to make a fortune, and the shopkeeper of Boguang Bookstore probably just because he really can't compete with Fenglai Bookstore, he has to become a Buddha.

At this moment, the two scholars who were reading in the corner finished the book and went to the counter to pay, while still discussing the storyline in the book.

A scholar said: "Miss Guizhi is kind and beautiful, and she shouldn't have ended like this."

Another scholar sighed: "That's right, it's a pity that we can't meet each other in this life. If I do, I will try my best not to let her suffer like that."

The scholar who spoke in front said: "Forget it, Miss Guizhi looks like a fairy, so I don't even like you, haha."

The other scholar was not annoyed, but rather yearned and said: "I don't know what Miss Guizhi looks like. She said that the jade rabbit became a spirit, but those eyes are red?"

"Stop talking, Miss Guizhi's eyes are red from crying for that idiot..."

While lamenting the beauty of the little rabbit in the book, the two lamented its poor life experience. Tang Yi was moved by the side, and walked over to pick up the book that the two scholars had read before and flipped through it, thinking about it.

Tang Yi put down the book and said, "Shopkeeper, can you rent pens and ink here?"

The shopkeeper froze for a moment, shook his head and smiled, "It's nothing, it's just that you really want to learn?"

Tang Yi said seriously: "Really."

The shopkeeper smiled and said: "Well, I have some old paper and pens here, which are covered with water stains, and I can't sell them. If you want one, I will give you one for a penny, as well as a few brushes and pen holders. It was gnawed by a mouse, but the tip of the pen is intact. If you want to repair it, it is not worth it. I will sell it to you for twenty yuan. As for the ink, the cheapest one here costs five taels of silver. If you really want it, I will use it for myself. Grind some juice from this piece for you, and you can use it when you go back and dissolve it with water."

Tang Yi was very happy. Although it was a broken paper and a pen, as long as his paintings had a chance to be shown, he was not afraid that he would not be able to afford a good one, so he gratefully agreed immediately, but even if it was that little money, he didn't have it. I still made an appointment with the shopkeeper to come back in a few days.The shopkeeper agreed with a smile.

It was getting late, and the two brothers speeded up their journey back to the village. Tang Shi was silent for a long time along the way, but he still opened his mouth when he arrived at the entrance of the village. If Tang Yi really wanted to study, he, the eldest brother, also planned to grit his teeth and sponsor some .

Tang Yi laughed when he found out, this big brother is the same as his previous big brother, hard-spoken and soft-hearted, otherwise, why would he not want his younger brother to study and help him with all his money, just like his real big brother, who obviously made a rich second generation to suffer and reform However, they set up three tasks for this system to help the reformed people have a secure life in this world before they are willing to rest assured.

Tang Yi suddenly had a sore nose. He missed his real family members, especially his elder brother and grandpa. The heavy rain was small, and I didn't see what really happened to him.

Only after suffering in this world can we know that we lived a good life before. This is probably the original intention of the big brother to create this system.

Tang Yi sniffed with a smile, returned to reality, and said, "Brother, I'm already twenty, so I don't have the face to spend my brother's money, don't worry, I can find a way to get money by myself, and I won't let reading take us down. The two families are struggling."

Tang Shi was surprised: "You can still say such polite words. You used to go to the town to drink and listen to people say it. Hey, it's up to you, but you must remember that you must not commit crimes. Although we are poor, our life It’s okay, it’s good to be ordinary, I don’t want you to be rich and powerful, but I want our family to be safe and have a good life.”

"Hey, write it down!" Tang Yi replied.

After entering the village, the two brothers separated. Tang Yi saw smoke coming from the chimney of his house from a distance. Thinking that Wen Yan was cooking, Tang Yi felt a soft sense of solidity inexplicably. It felt so good to have someone at home. He used to live in the family's big villa. The family had real estate everywhere, and they didn't come back often. When he came home drunk in the middle of the night, the lights in the house had been turned off, and there was only his aunt at home. After dinner, he was so drunk that he fell asleep.

It was rare for him to have a hot meal when he got home, and it was precisely because of this that he didn't like to go home. He would rather hangover outside and at least have someone to accompany him in the hotel, even if he changed people every now and then.

It's just that cooking at this time means...the boy is most likely not full at noon?

Uh......

Tang Yi hurried home, pushed open the door, and saw Wen Yan lift the lid of the pot, and the steaming hot water vapor filled the young man's delicate face with a layer of water vapor.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Wen Yan turned his head to see Tang Yi, and smiled slightly: "I happened to boil hot water, so come and wash up." Judging from the fact that Tang Yi just came here yesterday and let the two of them wash up, Wen Yan concluded that this is the case. People are clean, and thinking that he must be sweating a lot at work today, he pinched some hot water for Tang Yi to take a bath.

Tang Yijian boiled a pot of hot water, relieved a little, and said, "Thank you, that's great. I was just about to take a good bath. My whole body smells so bad, I feel so uncomfortable."

He put the bag on his back on the shelf: "This is ten catties of miscellaneous grain noodles, you put it away."

Wen Yan opened the bag in surprise, picked up some noodles, and praised: "The noodles are so thin, didn't they cost a lot of money?"

Tang Yi smiled: "One cent is two catties, I bought five cents, oh yes." Taking out the remaining seven cents, Tang Yi said: "There are seven cents left, you can find a place to save it up." .”

Wen Yan froze in place, pointing to himself in disbelief: "Me? You give me the money?"

Tang Yi said as a matter of course: "Yes, I go to work every day, don't you take care of everything at home?"

Wen Yan wanted to say that you were not afraid that I would take the money and run away, but felt that it was too difficult to say so, so he hesitated for a while, wiped his hands, took the money, ran to the back room to find a clean jar, and put the money in it Keep it.

Tang Yi ladled hot water into the bathtub, tested the water temperature, and was about to take off his clothes to go in, when Wen Yan ran out and said, "I made egg pancakes, you put the cushion first?"

Tang Yi almost fell into the bathtub, he turned his head speechlessly: "Where did you get the eggs, don't tell me you didn't eat well today."

I didn't expect Tang Yi to care about him so much. Not only did he keep telling himself not to be hungry before leaving, but he also paid so much attention to this issue when he went home. Hearing this, he felt sore and hot in his heart. He didn't want Tang Yi to worry, so he quickly explained: "I I was full, I ate a pancake and an egg in the morning, two pancakes at noon, and a plate of fried potatoes, I was very full."

Only then did Tang Yi feel relieved a little, and asked, "Where did you get the potatoes?"

Wen Yan said: "Sister-in-law came here today and sent some vegetable seeds and some potatoes."

Tang Yi thought for a while and said, "Then go to the back room and peel some potatoes, and add miscellaneous grain noodles at night, and let's eat pancakes."

"okay."

Wen Yan happily ran to the back room to get ready to go. Rice noodle pancakes are a good thing in the village. They are especially hungry and delicious. The food at home for the past two days is really good.

Tang Yi took off his stinky clothes in the outhouse, got into the bathtub, and took a comfortable bath, thinking that the food at home was really terrible, and he ate some starch all day long, so he needed to earn more money to buy some meat and vegetables Otherwise, if this goes on like this, you will have to suffer from malnutrition.

After taking a shower, Tang Yi realized that he hadn't prepared clean clothes, and was annoyed that he was about to make do with the stinky clothes, but saw a stack of neat and clean clothes on the stove next to him, which Wen Yan had prepared in advance. I was very moved.

Although the clothes were made of thin coarse cloth with several large and small patches on them, they were washed very clean and warmed by the stove, so they were considered comfortable to wear.

Wen Yan in the back room heard the sound of Tang Yi taking a shower and getting dressed, so he came out to cook.Slice the shredded potatoes very thinly, and serve with miscellaneous grain noodles, sprinkle with a handful of finely chopped green onions, add some water and salt to make a paste, put a little oil in the pan, and pour a large spoonful of batter over it , and soon the fragrance wafted out.

Tang Yi looked at the jar of oil, and there was only a little bit of white and yellow lard left. It wasn't very good, but it was better than nothing, so let's eat it.

Fortunately, Wen Yan's craftsmanship is excellent, and the potato pancake tastes good without eggs. As for the egg pancake, it was cut in half by Tang Yi, and half was stuffed into Wen Yan's bowl.

Tang Yi was so hungry that he quickly ate four potato cakes. When he was about to eat the fifth one, a red letter suddenly appeared in his mind, "As soon as the mission is completed (1/30), please continue to work hard, come on."

Tang Yi looked up at Wen Yan, and sure enough, he saw the boy put down his chopsticks and stopped eating. He thought that this system is quite easy to use, and he can develop it as a weight loss system. Once he is full, the light will turn on, so as to avoid the gluttony from eating for a long time The situation of meat is like what he is now.

The food at home is limited, Tang Yi put down the bowls and chopsticks, and there are two cakes left, which can be saved for tomorrow morning.

In this way, in the regular daily life, ten days passed quickly, and the work was done in the morning of the tenth day, and the manager told them that they didn't have to come again. Everyone had already prepared, and there was no surprise.Tang Yi brought some copper coins with him today, planning to buy some pens, paper and household items.Unexpectedly, before leaving, he was stopped by the manager.
