Chapter 208 The afternoon in the bookstore

(Simachimo enthusiastically supported the audience. I asked me to count the few zeros again, thank you)

The next day, Chen Huai went to the History Museum in the morning for a long time, and in the afternoon he still went to the Xisixiangkou Bookstore to buy books. The owner Tan Shiwei was still calm when Chen Huai's arrival. After handing a chair, he returned to the small table next to the door to drink tea and read happily.

Chen Huai read books in the bookstore for a long time. Perhaps it was the afternoon before the weekend, and there were more people entering and leaving the bookstore than yesterday. Most of the people who came in and out knew Tan Shiwei. Some people said a word or two, chose one or two books before leaving, and there were young people who sat down and smiled. Looking at Tan Shiwei's attitude towards them, they also knew that they were all powerful and wanted children who lived in the left and right. They all had extraordinary family backgrounds, but they didn't have such a fierce and arrogant arrogance. Some people asked why "Xiao Wu" didn't help him see the store here?

Chen Huai thought that this little Wu might be Tan Shiwei's daughter, and that was Ji Lianyun's granddaughter.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the State Council, the State and the Ministry of Defense both chose to work in China Overseas, and generations of national leaders also lived in China Overseas; Xisi Lane, which was only separated from China Overseas by a deep red wall, was also the core area where domestic rights were to gather in the early founding of the People's Republic of China.

Although there have been many twists and turns, with the development of the economy, the conditions outside are getting better and better, and many people have moved out to live one after another, but the political legacy accumulated in Xisi Lane is still strong. After all, the older generation of characters are still nostalgic and accustomed to the traditional lifestyle and are not willing to change it.

Those who want their children, no matter how unreasonable they act outside, no matter how arrogant or arrogant they are, when they arrive at Xisi Lane, they have sharp claws to hide in their webbing and fangs to purse them in their lips, otherwise an inconspicuous old lady may rush up and give them a crutch, which will make you dare not even stare back at the eyes.

If you cannot see the little lion docile in front of the old lion, you will be determined to be without the vicious beast nature; Chen Huai also knew that these power-oriented children were just in front of Tan Shiwei and were not qualified to show off their arrogance and domineering spirit.

Of course, in the afternoon, an old man and a woman in ordinary clothes came over to chat with Tan Shiwei, saying that someone's son bought another luxury car, saying that someone's grandson had changed into a fairy-like female star who appeared together, showing shame to someone's family, saying that someone's daughter had earned more than ten thousand yuan after driving a real estate company, saying that someone's son was going to somewhere to make a fortune, saying that someone's minister had his son drove a taxi...

Compared with those non-party analysts who are five or six, most of the news in the mouths of these old men and women can withstand the test. If these news comes out, they will all make waves, but in this bookstore it sounds like the daily routine on the streets and alleys, which makes Chen Huai laugh: Maybe this is a return to nature. No matter how much power or wealth you have, what a person can really enjoy is just a place to stand.

Some people also expressed interest in Chen Huai who was sitting in the corner reading. When they heard that they were the son of the fourth son of the Song family, they all smiled at Chen Huai with confusion and said a few words to him: "Come back and celebrate the old man's birthday?"

Chen Huai didn't know if the news of "Why did the fourth son of the Song family suddenly appear in two days" spread all over Xisi Lane, and he didn't know what the relationship between these old men and women who emerged in the turbulent times of the Republic had with the Song family, so he just smiled politely.

Most of the conversations are just a simple taste, and there are people with curiosity who are intrigued to find out the details of Chen Huai. However, when Chen Huai works in Donghua, most of them say "Oh" and their expressions of confusion and regret are expressed on their faces.

When the red afterglow of the sunset sprinkled in from the narrow door face, Chen Huai held a stack of books to the door to prepare to return to his aunt's house. Tan Shiwei first put the stack of books across the table, read the spine of the book, and asked Chen Huai with a rare initiative: "Are you working in Donghua?"

"Well, in a township below Donghua," Chen Huai said, "Teacher Tan has also been to Donghua?"

"Oh, I have been studying urban and rural work in Jinghai Township, Donghua for six or seven years, and lived for two months," Tan Shiwei said calmly about the past. "Then he was directly sent from Jinghai Township to Pingjiang Farm. He lived in Pingjiang for eight years before returning to Beijing. He has been to Donghua..."

A person like Tan Shiwei should have traveled to many places across the country. He heard that he had only lived in Donghua City for two months, so he did not have much connection. It would be a pity that Shen Huai, otherwise Donghua's development would have taken advantage of him to some extent.

"Oh, I work in Meixi Town, and I am separated from Jinghai Township by a town." Chen Huai said.

"I know, it's Hetang Town." Tan Shiwei was a man who was willing to be ordinary. He was not particularly surprised that Chen Huai, the son of the fourth son of the Song family, only worked in the townships under Donghua. As he spoke, he did not stop. He smoothly calculated the price of the book, took out a plastic rope and scissors, and tied up a stack of books.

Chen Huai also knew that Tan Shiwei had seen too many gentle and kind-hearted True children who seemed to be gentle and kind, and he had no chance to show his performance at all. He said a few words in a row, and said goodbye to the book after paying the money.

Also a professor at Yan University, Ji Gengxin is an advisor to the State Council. He is almost seventy years old and is still very active in the domestic academic community. He is still teaching at Yan University and leads doctoral students.

Tan Shiwei is also a professor at Yan University and is studying urban and rural issues. Chen Huai has no impression of him, but he is only in his early sixties, which should be the peak of his academic life, but he chose to retire. He thought that he might be Ji Lianyun's son-in-law, but he was restricted in academic research and had no opportunity to develop.

This is also normal. After all, Ji Lianyun completely retreated in 1992 and promoted two more people to join this generation of leadership team. If Tan Shiwei was extremely active in the academic community that could influence the direction of national policy, it was obviously not something other factions would like to see.

Politics has always been about gaining and giving, making progress and compromise. Chen Huai thought that Tan Qiwei’s choice to open a bookstore at the entrance of Xisi Lane may be a compromise after retirement.

Chen Huai was thinking about something in his mind, stepped down the stairs and looked down from the steps without paying attention to both sides. Then he heard a scream suddenly coming from his ear: "Ah!"

Chen Huai was startled and saw the girl under the bookstore light last night, riding a bicycle and rushing towards him quickly. Seeing her panic, she obviously forgot to brake.

Behind Chen Huai was the stone steps in front of the threshold of the bookstore. He didn't dare to jump away, for fear that the girl would hit the stone steps. He watched the bicycle rushed over and grabbed the handlebar. However, the girl rode the bike very quickly, and he only cushioned the clamp. He didn't have time to retract his knee and hit the front wheel of the car hard, almost falling to the corner of the stairs. Fortunately, he barely stabilized the bicycle and didn't ask the girl to fall down.

The girl held the handlebars and stood on both sides of the crotch of the car with her legs crossed. Her face turned red. She asked Chen Huai worriedly: "Are you okay?"

"Crazy girl," Tan Shiwei walked out and saw his little daughter riding a bicycle and almost knocked Chen Huai to the ground. He blamed him with anger and smiled, "Just just learned how to ride a bicycle, he ran around everywhere," he asked Chen Huai again, "Isn't it okay?" He looked down at Chen Huai's pants and rubbed a piece of skin, and turned around and blamed his daughter, "Look at you!"

"It's okay," Chen Huai felt his left knee hurt so hard that he barely maintained a smile on his face, and said, "It's also because I didn't notice that I saw the car coming."

Chen Huai saw that the girl was seventeen or eighteen years old and had a beautiful appearance, and thought to himself how could he learn to ride a bicycle?

In Chen Huai's memory before, even those noble young men and ladies lived much superior to ordinary people since childhood, but in the 1970s and 1980s, the economic conditions in the country were generally poor. Even if they wanted children, few people said they could use cars to transport them since childhood.

"Do you want to go to the hospital for a check-up?" Seeing Chen Huai's frowning and feeling a little painful, the girl asked worriedly, and then asked Tan Shiwei, "Do you want Xiao Wang to drive over?"

"No need to be so troublesome. I'll go to my uncle's house to apply some medicine." Chen Huai said.

The abrasion was a trivial matter, but he just hit his knee straight and left him back. Chen Huai suspected that his bones were a little misaligned again. After walking two steps, his left leg was in a severe pain.

Tan Shiwei didn't think it would be more serious if he called a bicycle to hit him. He knew that Tang Jianmin was a doctor and his family might have medicine, so he didn't support sending Chen Huai to the hospital. However, when he saw him walking, he was scabbed and turned around, and he held more than a dozen books with extreme pressure on his hands and said, "Wait a minute," he quickly closed the bookstore door, took the bicycle from his daughter, and asked Chen Huai to sit on it, "I'll take you there."

His knees were really hurting so Chen Huai didn't hold on. He sat in the back of the small car and asked Tan Shiwei to push the car to take him back. The girl could only feel pitiful and walked behind as if she was in trouble, helping Chen Huai carry the stack of books.

The stack of books was held without feeling. The girl walked a hundred meters and her entire shoulder was about to collapse.

"Give me the book," Chen Huai asked the girl to take the book, so he could only touch the seat with one hand. The car was very small, and he was very unstable when he sat there. The girl blushed and held his arm with fear that he would fall down.

When he arrived at the east lane of West Temple, Song Wenhui lived there and happened to be Tang Jianmin at home. Seeing Tan Shiwei pushing the cart to send Chen Huai back, he asked Chen Huai in surprise: "What's wrong? Why did Professor Tan and Xiao Wu send it back?"

"Doctor Tang, I hit him..." The girl named "Xiao Wu" said with a blushing face.

"It was Xiao Wu who didn't pay attention to riding a bicycle. Maybe he was hurting his bones." Tan Shiwei noticed that Chen Huai was in pain all the way, and the sweat beads on his forehead should not be all hot, so he said worriedly.

Tang Jianmin and Tan Shiwei first helped Chen Huai to the house and sat on the sofa. They half-squatted down and touched his kneecap and said, "Fortunately, Teacher Tan sent you back. The misalignment was not very bad, otherwise they would have to go to the hospital to deal with it..."

Tang Jianmin has never said that he would be a son-in-law of the Song family to be pampered and live in poverty over the years. He has been working on the front line of medical care for a long time, and his foundation is still there. He touched Chen Huai's dislocated kneecap and said, "Have you bear it a little..." and he tried hard to restore Chen Huai.

Chen Huai heard a "click" sound. After a huge pain in his knee, the pain felt like a tide that was ebbing. Soon, it could be clear and clear. He tried to step on the ground twice and smiled and said, "My uncle, you are really not a doctor in the martial arts world. It's really okay..."

Tang Jianmin laughed and said, "Do you think I really sell dog skin plaster?" Chen Huai had to rest for a while to calm down. There was no nanny at home, so he could only make tea for Tan Qiwei and his daughter himself.

Tan Shiwei also heard the "click" sound when Tang Jianmin restored Chen Huai. He realized that Chen Huai's collision just now was actually really not easy. Looking at Chen Huai's shattered pants, he smiled and said, "I won't pay you this pants. You will come here to buy books next time. If you are free, I will pay you this pants."

"Teacher Tan, if you say that, I will really run to your store and pick one copy after another." Chen Huai smiled.

Tan Shiwei and Tang Jianmin both laughed.
