The Imperial Capital was an ancient city. Red banners and slogans were hung everywhere. The machines in the factories were clattering and clattering, and it was almost ringing throughout the entire city. Even on the streets outside the factories, the aunties and uncles were talking and laughing. Their faces were filled with happiness and joy. It was a busy scene. It could be said to be in full swing!
Even in such a bustling city, there were still some quiet places.
The library not far from the corner alley was just like this.
There was a plaque hanging on the door of the library with four big words engraved on it: Qing Kingdom Books
A wooden sign hung on each side, with the words: Learn from the new style, promote the new appearance, support the leadership of the party, practice culture, abandon the four old, and respond to the call of the party.
After entering the door, there was a table on the left. Behind it sat an old man who was in charge of borrowing books. In modern times, he was a librarian.
The old man had sparse hair and a white beard. He was wearing a white jacket and an old pair of dark green army pants. He was lying on a bamboo chair and waving a large cattail leaf fan. He narrowed his eyes and stared at a child who was reading a book inside. He muttered,
"Hey, this kid, I've never seen anyone read like this. Was he looking at the illustrations inside?”
Her voice was neither loud nor soft, just enough for the child to hear.
When He Siyu heard this, he grinned at him and did not say anything. He put the book that he had just closed aside and reached out to grab the book, but his hand grabbed empty air.
He Siyu was stunned for a moment. He turned around and smiled again.
She was so focused on reading that she forgot that the books that were stacked higher than her were now only left on the ground.
"The heavens really pay off for those who work hard.”
He Siyu looked at the book on the ground and sighed. He grabbed it excitedly and ignored Sir System's surprised gaze. He flipped open the book cover and quickly read it.
This was the 1000th book, and also the last straw for He Siyu to activate the system.
He Siyu wasn't from this era. He had transmigrated here due to an accident.
Coincidentally, after transmigrating, He Siyu became Shazhu, who was also He Yuzhu's nephew.
Although his parents were dead, he was still He Yuzhu's nephew, so He Siyu did not have to worry about food and clothing. In order to activate the system, he went into the library.
There was nothing he could do about it. After all, his predecessor was only nine years old.
Logically speaking, he should be going to school at this age, but how could He Siyu, who had received higher education in the 21st century, spend his time and energy on this?
However, this nine-year-old body could not do anything else. He might as well make activating the system his current small goal.
"Uncle Liu, have you eaten?"
Just as He Yuzhu was flipping through the books in her hands, a well-proportioned and good-looking girl walked in from outside. As soon as she entered, she greeted the administrator, Uncle Liu.
"Hey, isn't this Teacher Ran? A rare guest, a rare guest. It seemed that he needed information and was here to find a few teaching materials?”
When Uncle Liu saw that Ran Qiuye had arrived, he hurriedly greeted her warmly.
This Ran Qiuye was not simple. Although she did not come from a prominent family, she had some background. Now that Ran Qiuye was a teacher of the people, in Uncle Liu's eyes, Ran Qiuye was a handsome young man with a bright future.
"Hehehe ~ I really can't hide anything from you, Uncle Liu.”
Ran Qiuye covered her mouth and smiled as she responded enthusiastically.
"Alright, you can go ahead. I can't waste your time as a teacher who serves the people.”
Uncle Liu was overjoyed by Ran Qiuye's praise. He hurriedly called Ran Qiuye in to choose the teaching materials.
"Then Uncle Liu, I'll go look for books first.”
Ran Qiuye didn't chat any further. She called out and was about to walk in.
"Hey, you're busy. The teaching materials are over here.”
Uncle Liu pointed at the teaching materials with his cattail leaf fan as he greeted them.
"Alright, thank you ~"
Ran Qiuye thanked him as she walked.
However, when she turned around, she was stunned on the spot. Her big eyes stared straight at He Yuzhu, who was sitting on the floor with her knees bent and focused on reading. Her eyes were filled with endless surprise.
Immediately after, this surprise turned into surprise and even shock!
He Siyu was flipping through the books extremely fast!
It was so fast that even Ran Qiuye felt that she couldn't reach it!
However, this kind of surprise and shock only lasted for a moment.
If He Siyu hadn't flipped through the pages so quickly, Ran Qiuye might have been surprised.
However, when she came back to her senses and thought about it carefully, a child like He Siyu loved to look through the illustrations in books, so she thought that He Siyu was looking for illustrations.
However, Ran Qiuye was still very curious. A child of He Siyu's age should still be in school. Why would he appear in the library?
Could it be that this child's parents didn't arrange for him to enroll in school?
"How can this be!"
Thinking of this possibility, Ran Qiuye's brows furrowed slightly. After muttering to herself, she walked toward He Siyu.
"Little friend, can you tell me what you're doing here?”
He Siyu, who was eager to "conquer" the last book, frowned when he heard this question.
It was fine if he was disturbing his reading, but he was still a child?
He was a 22-year-old master's student, yet he was called a child?
However, thinking about his current identity, He Siyu could only sigh in his heart. How could a nine-year-old not be a child?
Therefore, after glancing at Ran Qiuye, He Siyu nodded at her out of courtesy and said lightly,"
"I'm reading."
"Hehehe ~"
Unexpectedly, her serious reply made Ran Qiuye cover her mouth and laugh.
This made He Siyu a little unhappy. Although his current identity was a nine-year-old youth, he couldn't underestimate him, right?
Why, could it be that the child was not allowed to read?
"This is a collection of Lu Xun's essays. Are you sure you're not looking at illustrations?”
Seeing that He Siyu had no intention of responding to her, Ran Qiuye also stopped laughing. However, she still asked with a smile.
She couldn't see it clearly when she was standing, but after she got down, she saw the words on the cover of the book: Picking up morning flowers at dusk, this was the work of the great writer Lu Xun. In this era, ordinary people really couldn't read it.
"You just said that this is a collection of Lu Xun's essays. Are you sure there are illustrations in it?”
He Siyu glanced at Ran Qiuye and said indifferently.
In this period, not to mention prose, even teaching materials did not have illustrations, let alone Lu Xun's works. The artistic conception in the text was the best illustration.
Ran Qiuye never expected He Siyu, a nine-year-old, to know so much.
After coughing awkwardly, Ran Qiuye asked suspiciously,"
"Then tell me, what is the story about the journey from the Hundred Herb Garden to the Samadhi Book House in this book?”
"If you can't tell me, you have to go to school with me. I'll help you with your parents 'work. How about it?”
Ran Qiuye said as if she was coaxing a child.
Uncle Liu had already noticed them. When he heard that Ran Qiuye was going to take He Siyu to school, he immediately perked up.
