Nowadays, donating books to schools has become a social charity activity. Many companies and individuals have practiced it by purchasing new books or donating the extra old books at home.

Lin Yi's idea is very simple. He knows many people who buy and sell old books and knows the prices in this regard. Besides, student reading materials are originally big products, and the prices are not high. Based on ten thousand books, it is only 10,000 yuan, and Lin Yi can bear it.

That's why Lin Yi was very generous in agreeing to President Li Weimin to donate books to the school library.

Speaking of which, Lin Yi also felt responsible. After all, he made a lot of money by buying the good books in the library at once. Now he has a little compensation. It is natural to take out a little compensation.

However, in Li Weimin, Lin Yi's approach seems too noble. He just helped the school to complete the construction, and now he donated books to the library. Lin Yi's generosity made Principal Li feel embarrassed.

Fortunately, his wife Wang Caixia was by his side, so he expressed gratitude to Lin Yi on behalf of Principal Li: "Thank you, Lin Yi. Our old Li doesn't know how to speak. He has never asked anyone in his life, nor has he thanked anyone. He always closed the door and lived his own life by himself. He only begs his grandfather for school affairs, kneel down and kowtow, bowed in circles..."

"Cough cough cough!" Li Weimin coughed a few times, meaning that it was a bit too much. Is he so despicable?

Wang Caixia glanced at him and said, "By the way, I still want to save face, and I will never admit it even if I do."

Li Weimin blushed.

Lin Yi and Haitang couldn't help but laugh. They thought this old couple was quite cute.

"Talking about the topic---no one is serious." Li Weimin scolded.

Wang Caixia said again: "You don't know that our old Li lives for the school in his life. He cares about the school and the students in the school, which is more than caring about me. He knows what is missing in the school, and he knows more about which student is in trouble at home than anyone else. What is missing at home? I am sick or not? He may ask a few times a year... Speaking of which, I almost give up on him. Marrying such a man is also what I owe him in my previous life!" Although he said this, Wang Caixia's eyes were full of love. This kind of love cannot be hidden, like old wine. The more I hide it, the more mellow it becomes, the more fragrant it becomes.

"So, you have helped him a lot this time---the money he used to buy books this time was squeezed out from his teeth. He originally planned to use it to improve students' food in the next season. According to his intention, he bought books with money. Although students eat less meat in the future, they can read more books. The food is rich and better than anything else."

"Okay, okay, what do you think of those useless things?" Li Weimin felt that his wife was too much of a word. If Lin Yi felt that she was crying and was poor, then she would be embarrassed.

Wang Caixia is not as thoughtful as her husband, and she is straightforward. She ignores Li Weimin's reminder and says, "This time you don't want a penny and donate books to the school library. Lao Li can't say it out loud. He must be so grateful. It must be like this. I know his character. As long as others treat him well, he will remember it all his life. When you need help, you will definitely give it to you."

Lin Yi nodded quickly and said that he was willing to donate books and was willing to do something for the school. He had happened to encounter this. For this reason, he would like to thank Principal Li for giving this opportunity.

Wang Caixia said, "You are really good at speaking, and you are very comfortable to listen to it." She also praised Lin Yi for being kind-hearted, young and promising, and praised Haitang for having a good vision and finding such an excellent person."

Haitang was just laughing aside, her beautiful eyes were filled with affection.

When he finally left, Lin Yi promised Principal Li that he would donate 10,000 student books to the school library in as little as one week and ask the school to supervise.

Principal Li waved his hand quickly and said it was not necessary, as long as he had that kind of heart, there was no need to force time. As long as the children had books to read, it was better than anything else.

I didn't say much polite words, Lin Yi and Li Weimin and his wife parted. When the two sides separated, Haitang came to Wang Caixia and stuffed her a handbag, saying that it was a gift from the younger generation to the elders.

Wang Caixia just nagged, "There is no such truth. It should be that the elders give gifts to the younger generations." Li Weimin was in a good mood, so she said, "You can accept the gifts from Miss Hai." Wang Caixia then took the handbag.

After leaving the department store, Wang Caixia was a woman after all, and was curious about what the girl gave her, so she opened the handbag and took it out to see that it was the black floral scarf she had liked before.

Looking at this silk scarf that I always like but couldn't bear to buy, Wang Caixia didn't know what it felt, but she felt that no matter it was Lin Yi or that beautiful crabapple, she was a kind and enthusiastic person who was as careful as silk.

"I hope good people will be rewarded." She said silently.

...

Lin Yi is definitely not the kind of person who talks casually and speaks nonsense.

Since he agreed to Principal Li Weimin, he started to act the next day.

Lin Yi is familiar with those who buy and sell old books around him, such as Dong Yanjing, Wang Heizi, Liu Sanliang, He Xiangu and others. However, Lin Yi also clearly knows that these people now worship themselves as gods. If they go up to collect books in person, there will definitely be a lot of trouble. So it is better to find a "spokesperson".

Who are you looking for?

The first thing Lin Yi thought of was Cao Yidao.

Lao Cao is a bad guy, and the most important thing is that he is merciless. He is a second-hand dealer of old books and he is very decent when doing things. It is most appropriate to leave this matter to him.

With the candidate, Lin Yi was about to call Lao Cao and discuss the matter. However, before Lin Yi could call, Lao Cao actually found him first.

"Lin Yi, hurry up and help me see if this book is true or not?" Old Cao broke in without even knocking on the door, shouting at Lin Yi with a loud voice.

Looking at his hurrying look, he was holding a treasure in his hand, as if he was to ask Lin Yi to help with the identification.

Seeing this, Lin Yi couldn't help but smile and wondered when this guy also started playing with high-end old books? You know, it's not easy to read the letter alone, either from the Qing Dynasty or the Republic of China. As an excellent second-hand dealer in old books, Lao Cao's vision has always been about "quick, ruthless and accurate" - quick purchases, quick selling prices, and accurate buying prices. To put it bluntly, it's not much money and a lot of money. This has meant that his purchase price has been restricted. He dared not play too much. He took over some goods that Lin Yi didn't pay much attention to, but this time, it looks a bit difficult...

This time, Lao Cao clearly took the initiative. Not to mention anything else, the only one is dark green and antique. It is not the Qing Dynasty or the Republic of China. Older letters like this are very popular among some collectors. If the situation is good, they can be sold for about one hundred yuan, or even two or three hundred yuan.

Lao Cao's ambition was obviously not on this letter set, but on this set of books. Lin Yi took it and saw it, and was stunned.

I saw that the letter that Lao Cao brought was actually the "Shuangmei Jing Dark Series" by Ye Dehui, a great collector in the late Qing Dynasty!

Speaking of Ye Dehui, he is definitely a typical local tyrant and evil gentry in the old Chinese society, but this "local tyrant" is quite talented. Hu Shi once sighed in the 1920s: "The current Chinese academic community is really in decline. The old-style scholars are only Wang Guowei, Luo Zhenyu, Ye Dehui and Zhang Binglin; secondly, there are only Liang Qichao and a few of us who are half-new and half-old. Zhang Binglin is half-study in academics. Luo and Ye have no system of organization, and only Wang Guowei has the most hope."

Although this sentence is not much, it explains a truth. Ye Dehui is a talent. Unfortunately, this talent has a characteristic. It is a good book and lust. His good books, "has been kept for hundreds of thousands of volumes, and the books that should be read in a lot. Since the books that should be read in the Siku have been read all over, the books that have not been seen in the Siku will also read as they see them." His lustfulness, he will go to brothels, hold a gangster, have a pink head and a broken arm, and kill both men and women. His good books are also like lustfulness, so there is a rule that "wives do not borrow books, but do not borrow books", and there is a poem that says "buying books is like buying a concubine, and she will never get tired of reading beautiful colors. The concubine's love is getting weaker and weaker, and the old fragrance of books becomes stronger... Buying books is better than buying concubines, and the books are more obscene than fishing colors"; his lustfulness is as good as writing books, so he does not give up the ridicule of lust. In the compilation room, the erotic books are "Shuangmei Jingnan Series". Isn't it suitable to be a disciple of Lin Langzi?

To put it bluntly, this is a feudal talent who loves books and beauties. Because of his conservative thoughts, although he inherited traditional culture, he was eventually strangled by the Great Revolution.

But the books he edited are very valuable, especially this set of "Shuangmei Jingnan Series", which is a portrayal of his life period.
