"Living ancestor, how dare you run to town?"
"You are lucky enough to meet Lin Zhiqing and the others, otherwise you will die outside."
"Niu wa, we men can't listen to the nonsense of those old ladies. You just listened to me when you said you would. Why did you believe it? You just believed it, so why did you run away?"
Niu Wa's sudden return made everyone in the He family breathe a sigh of relief.
Principal Wu listened for a while and then brought up what he had just said: "Captain He, what do you think of what I just said?"
He Aimin looked at Niu Wa and twitched his lips with a dry smile: "Principal Wu, it's not that I don't believe you, it's just that Niu Wa is from Jiuli Brigade. If something goes wrong in his family, it stands to reason that our brigade should be the one to take care of him. , if I send him away, who will I become?"
Principal Wu frowned slightly. She tugged Niu Wa's hand, squatted down and asked him, "Niu Wa, are you willing to go to Shili Brigade with me?"
Niu Wa looked at her blankly, and after a moment, turned to look at Lin Nianhe.
He asked: "Is there Sister Lin in the Shili Brigade?"
Principal Wu nodded: "Yes, Sister Lin is in the Shili Brigade."
Niu Wa's eyes were a little bright, but he glanced at He Aimin without saying anything or nodding.
A small child has learned to look at adults early.
Seeing this, Lin Nianhe stepped forward and said: "Uncle He, this is not something I, a junior, should say, but think about it, Niu Wa is still young, and the folks in Jiuli Brigade are too familiar with his family's affairs. If someone said something to make Niu Wa believe it..."
She paused deliberately for a moment, and waited for He Aimin to frown before continuing: "We are lucky to be able to get it back this time, but it won't be the case next time."
There is no doubt that He Aimin was frightened that Niu Wa suddenly disappeared.
He chewed his teeth and said nothing for a long time.
He still remembered the day Niuwa was found, it was winter, it was snowing, the little cub's face was blue from the cold, and his cry was like a cat's meow.
Everyone said that the baby would not survive.
Lao Niutou didn't believe in evil and forcefully took the child back.
He said that he had already given away his wife and son, and he was not afraid of giving away another grandson.
The child, who was like an ice cube, was warmed back by his covering his heart.
Later, this little boy grew up on the milk of several wives. If there was no milk, Lao Niutou would make rice cereal for him.
Old Niu Tou named him Niu Wa and wanted him to be as strong as a calf.
after that……
He Aimin looked at Niu Wa and thought of many past events.
Lin Nianhe quietly stepped forward and pushed Niu Wa's shoulders to He Aimin.
She said: "Uncle He, Niu Wa is still a child. He shouldn't bear so much. Let him go back with us first. We are so close. If you want to see him, you can go at any time. No one will stop him. You are making irresponsible remarks."
He Aimin didn't answer, he stretched out his hand towards Niu Wa.
Niu Wa raised his hand and held He Aimin's finger. With wet eyes, he looked at He Aimin and whispered, "Uncle He, I have seen my father. He is not dead."
He's not dead.
He went to the town to find his grandfather because someone made nonsense that the old Niu Tou was dead.
He Aimin's eyes were wet.
He took a breath, put his hand on the top of Niu Wa's hair and rubbed it carelessly: "Okay, go ahead, study hard, help Principal Wu with more work, and come back to me if you need anything."
After He Aimin finished speaking, he withdrew his hand, turned away and wiped the corners of his eyes.
"Well... Principal Wu, this kid has been stubborn since he was a child. If you are dissatisfied with anything, just hit him a few times. Don't, don't break it... Then, what about that... If you don't want it anymore , just send it back to me..."
He Aimin looked at the dusty wall, his voice trembling.
"good."
Principal Wu responded.
He Aimin did not turn around, but waved his hand: "Let's go."
Let's go.
At Niu's house, Principal Wu took Niu's little hand to help him pack his luggage.
The little guy doesn't have many things, and the patches on his clothes are crooked. They were obviously sewn by the old man.
Principal Wu didn't say that he would help him take it apart and sew it up again. He just stacked them neatly one by one and said a few words to Niu Wa from time to time.
"I miss my mother."
In the yard, three girls were sitting in a row. Wen Lan put her chin in her hands and said suddenly.
Wang Shumei also rubbed her eyes and whispered, "I miss my mother too."
They looked at Principal Wu through the window, saw her gentle smile, saw her neatly folding a piece of clothing, and they always felt like they were seeing their own mother.
Lin Nianhe: "..."
Their sudden outbursts of emotion always seemed out of place for her.
The two of them waited for a while, but before Lin Nianhe could speak, they both turned to look at her and asked in unison: "What don't you want?"
Lin Nianhe didn't want to, but they had to let her think about it.
She thought about it seriously.
Then he said: "I want to eat roast duck."
Wang Shumei: "..."
Wen Lan: "..."
Lin Nianhe looked at the distant mountains and described: "A duck slice costs 108 knives, with meat and skin on each piece, dipped in some sweet noodle sauce, shredded cucumber and green onion, rolled in a pancake... Tsk, I want to eat it."
Wen Lan: "Hezi, stop talking."
Lin Nianhe looked away, tilted his head to look at her, and asked her what was wrong with his eyes.
She was forced to think of something, why wasn't Sister Lan satisfied?
Woman, your name is Greed.
Wen Greedy continued: "You told me I was hungry."
Lin Nianhe licked his lips and asked her, "What do you want to eat?"
"I want... I want to eat the mutton in the water basin." Wen Lan's eyes were bright and she gestured with her hands, "Such a big bowl, with soup and meat, break the bun into small pieces and put it in, and pour some oil and spicy food on it. …”
Wang Shumei: "You two, stop talking, I'm hungry too."
Lin Nianhe and Wen Lan both asked her: "What do you want to eat?"
Wang Shumei looked at the two of them and smiled coquettishly: "We have everything I want to eat. Isn't that annoying?"
Lin Nianhe: "Then you said you want to eat roast duck."
Wen Lan: "I think you want to eat water basin mutton more."
Wang Shumei: "...?"
She opened her mouth and said, "You two regard me as the master chef of a state-owned hotel?"
Lin Nianhe suppressed a smile and replied, "No, it's the Prime Minister Turtle in the Wishing Pond."
Wang Shumei looked at her from top to bottom, and then started to roll up her sleeves.
"Hey, hey! Sister Shumei, please respect yourself. I'm not the only one who made a wish!"
"You can't pick up soft persimmons and squeeze them!"
"You're a girl from the Northeast, you can't pick a fight with me? What's wrong with just picking on me and bullying me?"
"Hey...Sister Shumei, I was wrong. I was so wrong...I apologize..."
After being treated as a punching bag, Teacher Xiao Lin gained Comrade Wang Shumei's consideration.
Wang Shumei picked a handful of wild mushrooms for her, stuffed them into her pocket, and let her eat them while walking.
Lin Nianhe stuffed his mouth with fruit and said aggrievedly: "Don't think that I can forgive you if you get me some wild fruit."
Wang Shumei glanced at her: "Then what do you want?"
Lin Nianhe swallowed the fruit, with a sweet taste in his mouth: "In a few days, the vegetables in my field will have to be harvested."
"Well, let me help you."
It would take less than a whole morning to harvest the vegetables from the palm-sized vegetable patch.
"I also want to save some sauerkraut, but I don't know how to make it."
"Okay, I'll fix it."
She didn't mention that she also had to stock up on sauerkraut, just to take care of it.
"Give me another half month of family leave."
"Lin Nianhe, haven't you been beaten enough?"
Wang Shumei clasped her fingers, a dangerous meaning flashing in her eyes.
Lin Nianhe looked up at the sky and silently changed the subject: "Hey... Actually, I always felt that I forgot something today."
Wang Shumei didn't take this matter seriously at all and asked casually: "What did you forget?"
"I don't know, I just feel like I forgot something..."
It wasn't until they returned home and saw the two people squatting at the entrance of the village that Lin Nianhe finally realized what she had forgotten all day.
