Chapter 191 I Eat Melons in the Republic of China 34
After Baiyin went out, he walked to the street side and saw a tram coming. He originally wanted to take the tram, but before the tram stopped, the people waiting on the roadside swarmed in.
Baiyin then realized that there was a huge crowd of passengers waiting on the roadside, and their attitude when getting on the bus was like charging into battle, unstoppable.
The conductor shouted loudly, "Get on after you get off," but the people below were still squeezing one another to get to the front of the line. After a few passengers got on and off the tram, the people waiting below could no longer wait and rushed to the tram, fearing that they would be late and would not be able to get on.
Those who got on also opened their eyes wide, looking for an empty seat. Usually there were only a few empty seats at this time, but often more than a dozen people went towards that empty seat. It all depended on who was faster.
The people below were still trying to squeeze in, until they couldn't get in anymore and had to give up. They could only watch the tram drive away and wait for the next tram. Only then did someone come to clean up the places where they had just been bumped or stepped on.
Baiyin saw this scene not far away, and had already silently retracted his feet and stood where he was to watch the fun.
What a picture of a crowded car in the morning! It's really terrible.
Baiyin looked at the time and found that it was working hours. No wonder there were so many people taking the bus!
This situation is exactly the same as the world Baiyin lived in before, when she had to squeeze into the subway or bus in the morning to go to work. It seems that the situation of going to work is similar in every world.
Forget it, I don’t have anything to do anyway, so I can just walk there. I don’t have to take the tram.
Next, Baiyin plans to go to the bookstore to buy some books to read. Although there are countless books in Baiyin's space, they are all from other worlds. If Baiyin wants to read books from this era, he has to go out and buy or borrow them.
Baiyin also has a hobby which is reading. If he has nothing to do and doesn't go out, he will read in his room.
Yuan Yuyi also knew about her hobby and supported it greatly. It was always good to read more books at any time. She also placed a large bookshelf in Baiyin's room, which was filled with books that Baiyin had bought and read over the years.
Baiyin's room is big enough, so the bookshelf doesn't seem crowded inside.
Every time Yuan Yuyi came to Baiyin's room and saw Baiyin's bookshelf, she would nod with satisfaction.
Baiyin could see that Yuan Yuyi was really interested in reading and learning, but because her family was poor before, they could not afford to send her to school. Now that her daughter can study and her grades are excellent, she feels very satisfied.
Baiyin saw this and decided to teach Yuan Yuyi how to read. After all, they both had time. Baiyin's schoolwork was not heavy, so she had a lot of free time. As long as she could find time, it would be fine. Yuan Yuyi was even easier, as she always had time.
After hearing Baiyin's words, Yuan Yuyi's first reaction was to refuse, but after refusing, she felt a little bit of anticipation and joy. After Baiyin persuaded her a few more times, she agreed.
So from then on Baiyin took time out to teach Yuan Yuyi how to read, and now she can recognize the words in the book.
She would also look for books on Baiyin's bookshelf to read, but compared to those boring theoretical knowledge books, those story books could attract her interest more.
Later, she no longer looked for books from Baiyin, but bought books outside to read on her own.
There are so many novels and story books out there now, and Yuan Yuyi is a loyal fan of them. Every time she goes out to buy books, she comes back with a large pile of them.
This has become one of her hobbies, and she feels very happy every time she reads the novel.
Because she was close to Yuan Yuyi, the eldest wife knew that she was learning to read. After she persisted, the eldest wife treated her differently.
Ever since Yuan Yuyi fell in love with reading novels, she would often share good books with the first wife. Although she was not interested in most of them, if she found one that she thought was good, she would read it carefully.
Apart from the eldest wife, Baiyin and the servants who served them, no one else in the family knew that Yuan Yuyi could read.
Yuan Yuyi was originally a very low-key person, and she would not go out of her way to publicize it. And even if other people knew about it, they probably would not praise Yuan Yuyi, but would only curse her in their hearts, thinking that she was sensationalizing.
In the minds of these concubines like Yuan Yuyi, why should they learn to read when they are so old? Is it useful? Their current lives are good enough, with no worries about food and clothing, and a comfortable life.
These concubines were mostly from poor families, and their families could not send them to school, so they were basically illiterate. However, unlike Yuan Yuyi, they had no interest in learning to read.
Baiyin arrived at the bookstore, found the book that interested him, paid for it quickly, and left with the book.
Because Baiyin bought several books at one time, they were quite heavy and inconvenient to hold in her hands, so she decided to find a place to store all the books in the space.
Baiyin saw people coming and going on the street outside, and couldn't find any hidden place for a while. He could only walk forward for a while and saw a slightly hidden place. It blocked the view from outside and he couldn't see clearly inside.
She hurried over there and put all the books into the space. Just as she put the books away, two men came towards her, one of whom was holding a little boy tightly in his arms.
Baiyin felt a little strange seeing this scene.
Baiyin saw them, and the two men also saw her. When one of the men saw Baiyin, his eyes lit up for a moment, but he calmed down after a moment.
They were a little wary when they approached Baiyin. The child in his arms was struggling, but the man held the child tightly in his arms, so the struggle was useless.
Bai Yin looked at them like this and wondered if these two people were human traffickers. They looked exactly like each other just now!
Baiyin has gained some experience after going through so many worlds, and those two people just now were definitely not good people.
When the two men were a little distance away from Baiyin, the man holding the child said fiercely to the child in his arms: "Be quiet! If you dare to make any noise again, I will kill you!"
It was not known whether the child in his arms understood what he said, but he was certainly frightened by his appearance and tone. He no longer dared to move or speak, but just snuggled in his arms.
At this time, the man next to him said to the man holding the child, "Dongzi, did you see that girl just now? She's so damn pretty! If this wasn't on the street with so many people around, I would definitely take her down and make a fortune!"
After saying this, he shook his head regretfully.
