Lin Yi didn't expect that he would be rescued by Feng Dashan at this "crisis". Then Feng Dashan scolded the children, "Look at what you are like. If the guests don't greet them well, they actually smashed the snowball. Which teacher taught you this? Apologize to the guests quickly!"

The three children seemed to be afraid of the teaching director. They all felt wronged and looked at Lin Yi, not knowing whether they should apologize.

Lin Yi said, "You misunderstood, Director Feng, I was having fun with them just now. I haven't had a snowball fight for a long time. Do you think so?"

The children looked at him, nodded in a hurry, and their mouths even more "Yeah, yeah".

Feng Dashan also knew that Lin Yi was kind, so he said with a stern face: "You guys go play! Remember, play for a while, it will be cold." Although it looks harsh, the director is still very concerned about the students.

The three children yelled, then laughed and ran to the playground with basketball in their arms. The white snow left their running footprints.

Feng Dashan turned around and smiled embarrassedly at Lin Yi and said, "These children were left for tutoring alone during the winter vacation. They are not good at studying and are also a little naughty. Don't laugh at me."

Lin Yi said it doesn't matter.

Feng Dashan said again: "It's cold outside, let's go, I'll take you to the principal's office. Principal Li has been waiting for you!"

...

The so-called principal's office is not very big, it looks like about 15 square meters. Most of the office is occupied by bookshelf. It seems that Principal Li Weimin is also a book lover.

When Lin Yi went in, Li Weimin was writing something with Nuanshuibao in his arms. He wrote too seriously and didn't notice anyone coming in.

Seeing this, Feng Dashan coughed and reminded, "Principal Li, Mr. Lin is here."

Li Weimin then came to his senses, saw Lin Yi coming in clearly, and hurriedly got up and said, "Sorry, I'm busy writing..."

Lin Yize said: "I'm embarrassed to be here to disturb you at this time."

"What are you talking about? Hurry up, please sit down!" He pulled a chair and gave it to Lin Yi.

Feng Dashan next to him said, "Do you want to peel off the stove and get warmer?"

There is a honeycomb coal path in the corner of the wall, which is usually used to boil water. It can be warm in winter, but it only costs coal.

Li Weimin said, "It's more important to say, hurry up and cook some tea."

Feng Dashan was busy ripping coal balls and cooking tea, and Lin Yi and Li Weimin were a little embarrassed to sit face to face.

I can't just say that I want to see the school library, I came here with the idea of ​​using old books.

Another thing cannot be said to help donate some money and build the school well.

The two of them were like their first time dating. Look at me, and I look at you, and the atmosphere was very awkward.

Finally, Lin Yi broke the silence and pointed to the bookshelf and said, "Principal Li, I didn't expect that you are also a book lover. Can you finish reading so many books?"

When Li Weimin heard Lin Yi mention the book, he laughed and said, "This is only part of my collection of books. I don't have any hobbies, I just like reading, and read all kinds of books..."

Lin Yi smiled and said, "The value of your book is very high, and most people can't read it. For example, the book "Selected Works of Maugham" and "Helboss Collection", are not something that ordinary people can understand."

After so much experience, Lin Yi also knows some skills in socializing with others, such as starting from the other person's hobbies and finding hot topics, so that it is easy to get closer to each other.

Undoubtedly, Lin Yi's trick is very effective, especially Li Weimin is also a book lover. Although he does not focus on collecting old books like Lin Yi, his principle of reading and buying books is pragmatism. The books he buys and reading are all his favorites and are helpful to him. So when he hears Lin Yi praise his ability to read, he feels like he has found a confidant, and his originally reserved mind has long relaxed.

"Haha, those two books are a bit offensive. Young people nowadays rarely have the patience to read them--I'm not talking about you. You can tell from your appearance that you love reading like me." Li Weimin smiled.

Lin Yi said, "I'm praising me, I'm reading it. Wow, these books are so old, they are all from the 1970s and 1980s, well, there are also from the 1960s and 1960s..." Lin Yi said, so he simply stood up and watched the books on the bookshelf with interest.

Seeing that Lin Yi seemed to be very interested in the books on his bookshelf, Li Weimin also stood up, was in a happy mood, opened up the conversation, and began to talk about his books.

He said: "I liked reading when I was very young, and when I grew up, I loved books even more. At that time, Xinhua Bookstore had not opened a shelf to sell books. Readers had to stand outside the glass counter when buying books, raised their feet, stretched their necks, widened their eyes and scanned the books at the counter, identified the titles, and guessed the general contents of the books. After being a little sure thing, they dared to ask the salesperson to take the books. If they had not selected the books they wanted to buy again and again, the salesperson would be impatient and turned around and ignored you.

I am in the countryside, and there is a relatively large supply and marketing cooperative in Songshu Town, 20 kilometers away from my home. The lighting in the supply and marketing cooperative is not good. I finally saved a few dollars and bought a few books in a daze, but I couldn't understand it at all.

Many years later, Xinhua Bookstore implemented opening shelves to sell books. The books can really be taken at will, but don’t forget to pay before going out. Once, when I was selling books at a discount, I chose too many books to hold them, and I was afraid that I would be picked up by others. Seeing this, the salesperson found me a box and asked me to put the books in the box and drag them to continue to choose books. Later, the box could not be loaded, and the salesperson lent me their carts. That was the happiest period of my life."

Lin Yi looked through those books and found that there were seals from the supply and marketing cooperatives and Xinhua Bookstore on the back covers of many books. Compared to many people who like to buy books at the used book stall, it seems that Principal Li is more interested in purchasing at Xinhua Bookstore.

After thinking about it, Lin Yi felt relieved. After all, as a young man with a strong scholarly spirit, Li Weimin at that time also had a strong sense of spirit and spirit. In addition, the surrounding environment was good, so he disdained to go to those old book stalls to buy old books. Although old books were cheap, they were used by others. For some people, they did not like to buy them. This is just like many men have a virgin complex, they like first-hand, and they don’t like what others have used. But in the eyes of Lin Yi and others who like to buy old books, the greatest value of old books is that they have their own stories and their own history, from one person to another, what they experienced during this period is mysterious and interesting.

Li Weimin didn't know that his temperament had been conveyed to Lin Yi through these "book words", and Lin Yi had a deeper understanding of him.

This is the "finding" in communication techniques, trying to arouse the other party's interest, allowing the other party to speak freely, and guess the other party's personality and temperament.

Li Weimin didn't know so much. The more he spoke to Lin Yi, the more he became more and more energetic, and the more he spoke, the more he couldn't stop talking.

Yes, as the principal of the school, he basically stays in school all day long, and the people he comes into contact with are either teachers or students, and there is no one who can talk to. He has a lot of "book words" but he doesn't know who to talk to. Today he finally met Lin Yi, so why don't he say it?

Invisibly, Li Weimin treated Lin Yi as a friend and a friend of his age.

"Kolin, I told you that you may not believe it. From 1976 to 1982, I read a lot of books during this period, 99% of them were garbage, wasting my best years of study. It is not easy to find a book in the countryside, and I will look for anyone with words. Gorky described "hungry people pounce on steamed buns", which is far from enough to express my hunger and thirst for reading at that time. I have seen many typical examples of studying hard in ancient and modern times, but "all night" and "all night" and I often "all night" after "all night" and "all night". "Day and night", and even read books for three days and three nights in a row, but it was not satisfactory to read. In those days, the works of Lu Xun were the only ones that could be read publicly and were easy to see. They learned passively, followed the adults to memorize the "three old articles" and many "quotations". I read Lu Xun's articles in a hurry and didn't understand them, but fortunately I got familiar with them early. Some strange sentences were fun, "Silence, silence, no longer burst in silence, but died in silence." I felt that the word used to write something was unique.

Other literary books that illustrate politics, such as "The Golden Avenue", "Thousands of Waves", "Fierce Fighting in the Unknown River", "The Charge in the Front", "Hongnan War History", "New Little Stone Pillar", "Red Cherry Song", "Three Explorations of the Red Fish Cave", etc., have been read more than a dozen times.

From 1982 to 1992, I started working and learned that there was a saying of "famous books". Rousseau taught me to examine myself and reflect on myself; I read the Confessions and decided to be a good person.

"Martin Eden" tells the story of a sailor and a worker growing up into a famous writer through personal struggle. No matter what situation a person is in, as long as he works tirelessly, he will eventually succeed.

British writer Maugham is not famous for Chinese readers. This is because our media has no branches, and a few crappy chefs can only eat whatever they want to serve the people. "Blade" and "The Shackles of Life" were bought a long time ago. After buying it, they flipped it and put it aside. Later, they flipped it up again and read it all in one go, and it attracted me strongly. I admire Maugham's grasp of the characters' psychology, especially the portrayal of women is very vivid and vivid."

It was almost done, Lin Yi said casually: "Since Principal Li loves reading so much, I believe the school library must have a lot of good books!"

When Li Weimin heard this, he slapped his thigh and said, "It's shameful that there are many good books in it, especially many thread-bound books. When I broke the four olds and started sports, many ancient books from many families were copied and stuffed them all into the school's library. I heard that many teachers didn't have to bring toilet paper when going to the toilet at that time. They just took two or three thread-bound books and stuffed them into the cracks of the wall. When they used it, they teared two pieces of paper. The paper was soft and easy to use, and it was very comfortable to use..."

Listening to these words, Lin Yi felt so distressed. They were all treasures, and they were actually ruined like this.

"What about now, how many more?" Lin Yi couldn't help asking.

"Oh! You'll know when you go and take a look." Li Weimin sighed.

Lin Yi's heart immediately became cold.
