Chapter 1388 The book that was eaten away(2/2)
"How is that possible?"
The middle-aged man put down the newspaper and didn't believe it.
"How is it impossible?"
The boy curled his lips, "You can see it yourself."
He put the book on the cashier and picked up another book that was clamped under his armpit, "That's too."
The boy turned to the damaged page of the book and placed the book next to the previous book.
"It's the same for several books."
"Boss, it's not good if you sell this book by pound."
“The content is incomplete.”
......
"I'll take a look."
The middle-aged man approached the book he had spread out and took a closer look at it.
It was indeed as the boy said, the pages of the book were broken and were edible by insects.
Both books are the same.
He reached out to touch the already yellowed book paper.
Even if he didn't believe it at first, now the facts are in front of him, he has to believe it.
But emotionally, he was still a little surprised.
This bookstore is not his, it is his father's.
The old man has opened a bookstore for his whole life and has a deep affection for this bookstore.
His memories when he was a child were mostly related to this bookstore.
He saw how much the old man loved the books in the bookstore.
The books here may be old, but they are all clean and well protected.
How come worms come?
Did it be born during this period?
The man was a little surprised.
......
Some time ago, the old man fell ill.
The illness comes like a mountain falling.
The old man's originally tough body collapsed suddenly.
The bookstore naturally closed.
After staying in the hospital for a week, the old man still had no choice but to survive the disease and finally left.
Before his death, the old man still remembered this bookstore.
However, at that time, the old man couldn't even speak very much, so he could only tell the word "bookstore".
Although he knew that this bookstore was the old man's hard work, and even the old man's sustenance after the old woman passed away.
However, he and his younger brother and sister have their own jobs and have no extra energy to take care of this bookstore.
Moreover, this bookstore has actually had a very bad business in recent years.
It's almost as if it's not enough to make ends meet.
They discussed it and decided to sell the store.
He is the boss, so he will handle the follow-up work of this store in full.
He planned to sell all the books he could sell and then rent out the store.
Yes.
