For collectors of Lin Yi's level, this big sweep is not much money and they buy a lot of rare books. Books are materialized cultural carriers and have economic value in themselves, especially rare books, rare books, and cultural relics and artworks. The reason why books and magazines are worthy of collection is mainly because of their version significance. What's more, in Lin Yi's view, the version of the Republic of China has great appreciation potential and broad market prospects. "Leak detection" often occurs in the immature class. It is now a good time to invest in books and magazines of the Republic of China.

Seeing that there were a lot of gains, Lin Yi brought the book bag and felt that he had already bought it. So he was going to walk the book stall again. If there was no gain, it would be over.

With this idea, Lin Yi came to a larger book stall and saw that the book stall was a merger of two book stalls, two stall owners, one man and one woman, like a couple.

At this time, the woman left the book stall to buy water, and only the man was watching here.

The man was big and thick, and he looked like a man who could endure hardships. Seeing Lin Yi looking at his book stall, he said, "Look, I'll give you a cheaper version of this book."

Lin Yi nodded, thanked him, and then looked at the book stall.

Most men's book stalls are ordinary books, and they are not valuable. Women's book stalls have bad books, including thread-bound books, books from the Republic of China, and some old calligraphy and paintings.

Just as Lin Yi was passing by the man's book stall and looking at the woman's book stall, an old woman walked over with a basket.

When the man saw the old woman, he hurried forward, handed his chair over and said, "Mom, didn't I tell you not to come out? It would be great to stay at home. You have to come out to go to this temple fair."

The old woman was dark and thin, and she was obviously a person who had suffered. She said, "I am alone at home and panic (meaning anxious). It would be better to go out and take a walk." Then she glanced at the woman's stall, "Where is your wife, where has she been?"

"I went to buy water."

"What water should I buy? I brought you boiled water from home---" As he said that, he took out a large plastic water cup from the basket.

The man took the water cup and said, "It's good to put it here, sit down and rest first."

"Okay, I'll take a break for a while, I'm very tired after going up this mountain." The old woman said, taking out a cigarette from her pocket. When she squeezed it, it turned out to be an empty box.

The man looked at it and asked quickly, "Mom, are you smoking?"

The old woman replied embarrassedly: "Yes!"

"Then I'll buy you a box!" As soon as the man finished speaking, he saw his wife come back and took a bottle of "Master Kong" mineral water worth a dollar.

When the woman saw him, she asked, "What are you doing?"

"Buy a cigarette for my mother." The man said casually.

At this time, the woman stared at the man with her big goldfish eyes. The man pretended not to see his wife's eyes and left to buy cigarettes.

It didn't take long to see the man walking back with a box of three yuan "scattered flowers". He took out one from the box of cigarettes and handed it to his mother. Then he took out the lighter in his pocket and lit the cigarette for her. He immediately said to his mother: "You should keep this cigarette too! Anyway, it's cheap, only three yuan per box."

At that moment, the woman reacted very quickly. She saw at a glance that the man took out the cigarette box, and the lid was open. She thought to herself: "This damn ghost must have done something in the cigarette box." So when she saw the man asked his mother to put away the cigarette, she didn't do it. She snatched the box of "scattered flowers" cigarettes that the man bought and immediately pinched it on both sides of the cigarette box, and the horse and feet inside were revealed. She reached out and took out three hundred yuan with two fingers, and then put it in her pocket.

Then he threw the box of cigarettes to the man and shouted at him: "Is this a cigarette worth three yuan? It's obviously three hundred yuan! You're still playing this trick with me, you're a little more tender!"

The man was also annoyed and said, "What's wrong with me? Our mother helped us take care of the children and did housework. It's my duty to respect her!"

The woman didn't expect that the man would dare to talk back, so she became even more fierce and shouted: "This day is simply impossible to pass. Do you know how difficult it is to make money these days. Today, I spent a whole day on the business and the money for setting up a stall and selling books is less than 300 yuan. You can stuff it in at once! Now our family has become a problem. After eating this meal, you are willing to earn it yourself!"

When a man heard what his wife said, he immediately turned into a turtle with his head and didn't even dare to say anything. He was so distressed that he dared not speak out. He dared not speak out. Whoever made his book stall lose business depends on his wife's book stall. Besides, although he was a man, his wife was busy at home, in and out, inside and out, and after running around, he was really alone. At best, he was just a small job who fished for three days and two days of drying the net. Alas! How could a person not bow his head under a dwarf?

The man is cowardly and has no face. His face is red and he wants to find a crack in the ground to get in. He put his head into his crotch and will never show his head again.

When the old woman saw her son's cowardly appearance, she quickly said to the woman: "Everyone has a difficult sutra, and I don't need this money. It is natural to help you take care of your children. Who told me to be his grandmother? If I don't have money to smoke, I will smoke less and be better for my health. As for you couple, be harmonious, don't argue anymore, and don't make any conflicts about me. Others are not good at laughing at me." After that, she also looked at Lin Yi, who was reading old books in front of the book stall.

When Lin Yi saw the old woman, he smiled kindly at her. The old woman nodded and said to her son: "That, it's not too early, I should go back, and I have to cook for the child later... What should you do? Should you go back and eat together, or buy some here?"

The man said, "We'll just deal with it here."

The old woman said, "Don't deal with it, the body is important--you two eat whatever they should eat. You can't make enough money, don't destroy your body. Okay, let's not talk about it, I'll leave----!"

Seeing that his mother was really about to leave with a basket on her shoulder, the man said with shame: "Mom, let me see you off!" He said that and hurried to support the old woman.

"No need, let's take a rest! I'm still tough in just a few steps." The old woman said and left the old book stall.

The man was about to send him off when the woman pulled him over, and then he shouted at him with his waist on his back, "What are you going to give me? Have you seen anyone buy books in the book stall? I feel that it's so energetic and there's no place to use it, right? Cut it! Use a rag to wipe all the books!"

Although Lin Yi didn't want to listen to others' quarrels, the couple's voice was too loud, and it was difficult not to listen.

At this time, a few people came over to watch the fun, and they were flipping through books and chatting, talking about the matter of this lively couple.

...

It turned out that the woman was called "Qin Sanxi" and the man was called "Li Gangban". Qin Sanxi was also a capable woman, but in the 1990s, her private enterprise went bankrupt due to improper management. Qin Sanxi was also unemployed. At first, she could still point to her husband to live. At that time, her husband Li Gangban worked as a shelf at a construction site. Although she could not reach out for clothes and food, she was rich and rich. However, it was not a problem to eat and wear warmth. Unfortunately, the good times did not last long and things were unpredictable. When her husband Li Gangban worked on a construction site, his feet slipped and accidentally fell off a scaffolding that was more than ten meters high, and he injured his waist. His body could no longer be "steel" anymore.

Later, although the contractor of the project compensated him tens of thousands of yuan, it could only be treated conservatively. Qin Sanxi wanted to take care of them and went to a big city to see her husband for a good medical treatment. Unexpectedly, the foreman gave up his face and refused to pay her medical expenses on the grounds that he did not sign the contract at the time. Qin Sanxi had no choice but to stay in the hospital. He had to help his husband home and take care of him. Later, his husband's illness was cured, but when his waist was injured, the sequelae left behind would never be removed. When it rained and cloudy, the pain was unbearable. Even the things between the couple were the same, and the quality was greatly reduced.

Later, I heard that the waist protection sold by a small factory in the south was effective, so Qin Sanxi sent money to buy a pair for her husband, which made her feel balanced. But in the end, the illness was not cured, and she made a lot of foolishness. In the summer, the foot-wide waist protection that Li Gangban was wearing was exposed through her sweatshirt, and it looked like a "magic energy bag" tied around her waist by a martial artist, which was so funny.

Later, in order to make a living and children, the couple had no choice but to learn to collect waste products with a relative. At first, they didn't understand, but once they were born, they became familiar with each other. Gradually, they became clear: the old books collected for one dollar per pound could be sold for several dollars after selling them. The capital not only came out, but also brought the turn. The rest were all earned.

Later, when they learned that the profits of books were considerable, sometimes they could sell hundreds or even thousands of dollars a day. Besides, if a person could not work hard, they would simply stop collecting waste products. The couple focused on doing the business of buying and selling used books.

...

After listening to these stories, Lin Yi couldn't help but smile. It turned out that this couple was also an old man who sold old books. It reminded Lin Yi of the couple Wang Heizi who used to set up street stalls in the Temple of Fortune.

However, Lin Yi soon thought again that since the couple is so knowledgeable about old books, it seems impossible to find a bargain. However, Lin Yi was still a little unwilling to give up because he had already taken a fancy to some of the books on the book stall at this time and liked them very much.
