The middle-aged man hesitated and struggled for a long time. Thinking of the scene in his memory, he decided to leave the store.

Maybe he can open this bookstore again when he retires.

In this way, the old man will be happier in the sky, right?

......

He had thought of leaving these books behind and letting the renters continue to run the bookstore.

However, it is difficult to find someone who happens to open a bookstore.

He also needs to receive so many old books.

After searching for a while, he gave up on this plan.

He first dealt with the book himself. Whatever the renter wants to do with the store, he will follow the wishes of the renter.

He once mobilized the whole family and his younger brothers and sisters to go to the bookstore to check it out, and if there were books they liked, they would stay.

As a result, these old people picked a few books.

They are all books in their memory.

They had forgotten to read these books before, but they remembered them again after seeing the title and cover of the book.

After all, it was a book I liked when I was a child, so they stayed to commemorate it.

But none of the younger generations had any books they liked.

Everyone thinks that the books in the bookstore are too old.

Moreover, many of them are ancient books.

The whole collection of classical Chinese made them feel overwhelmed.

Several rare comic books were also popular in the last century.

They took a short walk around the bookstore and lost interest.

In fact, they have not been to this bookstore before.

I also know what the situation is in this bookstore.

But after all, the bookstore was about to close, so they decided to come and see it for the last time.

But it was unexpectedly rewarding.

......

“It’s so edible.”

The middle-aged man gently stroked the pages of the book, which was also the reason why their family neglected the bookstore after the elderly were hospitalized.

Books are really fragile.

Just like humans.

I thought something would happen, but after all, I was fine before, but after a negligence, it was no longer possible to save it.

He looked up and smiled embarrassedly at the boy, "Why do you read another book?"

"Or I'll take you cheaper?"

"It's just wormed-"

The middle-aged man looked through the books in front of him and his voice stopped abruptly.

He smiled bitterly, "Forget it, this book is useless."

Almost half of the pages were worm-eaten.

If he only had one or two pieces of food, he would be fine and sold it to the young man in front of him.

But where can I read the book now?

Even as draft paper can't be used.

What else can I buy it?

"Student, please read other books."

"But I just want these two books."

The boy looked full of regret and reluctance, "I have looked for many bookstores but couldn't find them."

"I didn't expect that there was something in this bookstore?!"

He was so happy when he saw these two books.

As a result, when he couldn't wait to open the book and read it, it was simply... "Extreme joy leads to sorrow... Heaven falls to hell..."

The boy murmured.

He searched through the nearby bookcases, but there were only these two books.

He was disappointed.

Although he knew it was impossible, he couldn't help but ask, "Are these two books the only ones in the bookcase?"

“Don’t have any other inventory?”

The middle-aged man shook his head, "The store is about to be closed, so where is there any inventory?"

“All the books are here.”

"If there isn't, there will be no more."

"oh."

The boy's voice fell, and then the boy cheered up a little more, "Then I'll look for it again."

"Boss, put these two books on your first, and I might want them more."

"Oh, such a broken book..."

The middle-aged man was a little surprised.

“It’s better than nothing.”

The boy mumbled.

“…Okay, I get it.”

The middle-aged man wanted to say something, but in the end he just smiled and nodded, "I will help you see it."

Anyway, these two books are not expensive, so students can buy them if they like them.

He should not say anything he thinks he is good but makes people unhappy.

He felt a little emotional as he watched the boy disappear behind the bookcase.

This is a kid who loves books.

If the old man is still alive, he will be very happy to meet such a child.

The old man is also a book lover.

As a result... the old man was hospitalized for a week and his beloved book was eaten by insects.

The old man walked away for a week and his beloved book was sold at a low price.

Thinking about it this way, the middle-aged man smiled bitterly, saying that these children are really unfilial.

However, even if you know that, books still have to be sold and bookstores still have to be rented.

Their family can't afford a bookstore that can't afford to make ends meet.

No one has the time and energy to run this bookstore.

This is the reality, and they can do nothing about it.

......

Hearing the conversation between the boy and the shop owner, the other guests also picked up a book to read, and the sound of light ejaculation sounded.

The books in their hands also have traces of being eaten by insects.

Several guests looked at each other.

They all heard each other's sound.

They drew a few more books to read.

No book survived.

Immediately, someone shook his head regretfully, put the book in his hand and turned around and left the bookstore.

Although he came in for the slogan of selling books by pound, he would not be attracted by the slogan if he had not been for the person who loved books a little.

He looked at the books on the bookcase with a bit similar to Taobao.

He is here to buy books, not to collect rags.

What's the point of buying such a book with incomplete content even if it's cheaper?
