"How can it be?"

The middle-aged man put down the newspaper, somewhat disbelieving.

"How is it impossible?"

The young man curled his lips and said, "See for yourself."

He put the book on the cashier and picked up another book under his arm, "This one too."

The boy turned to the torn page of the book and placed the book next to the previous one.

"Several books are in the same situation."

"Boss, even if you sell this book by the pound, it's not good."

"The content is all gone."

...

"Let me see."

The middle-aged man came closer to the open book and looked at it carefully.

I found that it was indeed as the young man said. The pages of the book were in a state of ruins and were eaten by insects.

The situation is the same in both books.

He reached out and touched the yellowed book paper.

Even if he didn't believe it at first, now that the facts were in front of him, he had no choice but to believe it.

But emotionally, he was still a little surprised.

This bookstore doesn't belong to him, it belongs to his father.

The old man has owned a bookstore all his life and has a deep affection for this bookstore.

Most of his childhood memories are related to this bookstore.

He could see how much the old man cared for the books in the bookstore.

The books here may be old, but they are all neatly packed and well protected.

How come there are bugs?

Could it be that he was born during this time?

The man felt a little enlightened.

...

Some time ago, the old man fell ill.

Illness comes like a mountain.

The old man's originally strong body suddenly collapsed.

The bookstore was naturally closed.

After staying in the hospital for a week, the old man still could not survive the illness and finally passed away.

Before his death, the old man still remembered this bookstore.

However, at that time, the old man couldn't even speak clearly, and he could only distinguish the word "bookstore".

Although he knew that this bookstore was the old man's hard work, and even the old lady's sustenance after her death.

However, he and his younger siblings both have their own jobs and have no extra energy to take care of this bookstore.

Moreover, the business of this bookstore has actually been very poor in recent years.

It’s almost to the point where we can’t make ends meet.

They discussed it and decided to sell the store.

He is the boss, so he has full authority to handle the follow-up work of this store.

He planned to sell all the books he could and then rent out the store.

Yes.
