On the same day, the Shili Brigade Village Primary School received the latest donated items from Comrade Lin Nianhe——
checkers.
Principal Wu was very puzzled by this. He had no idea what was so special about this checkers that it was worthy of Lin Nianhe holding his injured legs and limping all the way to the wall to give it to her.
Until evening, Niu Wa washed her hands and feet and warmly invited her to play checkers together...
Half an hour later——
Principal Wu: "Niu baby, it's too late. You can find Nian tomorrow... you can find other teachers to play with you."
Niuwa: "Okay."
The next day, no one was harmed by the cow baby.
Because everyone was going to attend the wedding of Li Xiaoshan and Wang Xixi today, even those at work were discussing the matter, and Niu Wa couldn't find anyone to play with him.
Lin Nianhe got up early in the morning and was first carried to Wang's house by Wen Lan. After a lively reception, he followed to Li's house. Aunt Li stuffed her with a handful of wedding candies and arranged for her to sit at the door and write a gift list.
Aunt Li also specially brought a cushioned stool to cushion her legs to avoid damaging the wound again.
Today's weddings are simple and simple. For someone like Li Xiaoshan to ride a bicycle with big red flowers on it to pick up the bride, it is already a very high-level wedding.
The dowry Wang Hong prepared for Daxi was also very decent, including a brand new quilt and new clothes for the young couple. In the countryside, this was a generous wedding worth discussing for a long time.
Aunt Li was so busy these days that she put together four dishes for the banquet - braised pork vermicelli, braised rabbit, scrambled eggs with garlic sprouts, and stewed tofu with Chinese cabbage. The wine was sorghum wine brewed by Uncle Guan himself. It was not much, and each person could share half a bowl.
Such a banquet would appear to be extremely shabby in later generations, but here, it is already the best.
Lin Nianhe was sitting at the door writing the gift list, with Niu Wa and Li Hehua standing beside him. One was responsible for receiving the gifts, and the other was responsible for pouring water for Lin Nianhe.
The gifts now include everything - vegetables, meat, eggs, steamed buns, headbands, soap boxes... Very few people give money directly. Lin Nianhe keeps track of the comings and goings. Only the educated youths and Zhou Chujiang and Zhang Qiong each send money. I took out 15 cents and got a share of 2.4 yuan.
Principal Wu, who was the host of the wedding, gave the young couple a brand new book of quotations. Yin Yin taught a few words about helping each other and making progress together.
Lin Nianhe felt fresh in everything he saw, and the corners of his mouth kept rising with joy. It's a pity that when she was eating, she had just put two pieces of meat for Niu Wa. When she turned around, only the pork stewed vermicelli was left with vermicelli.
Lin Nianhe's table was full of educated youths, and they really couldn't show any humility towards her.
Lin Nianhe had just calmed down and stretched out his hand to pick up the rabbit meat. When his eyes blurred, there were only potatoes left on the plate.
She glanced at the other plate, and sure enough, the eggs were also gone.
Lin Nianhe: "You guys have gone too far."
No one paid attention to her, and everyone ate while holding back their laughter.
Niu Wa handed the meat in her bowl to Lin Nianhe: "Sister Lin, this is for you to eat."
"Ugh... it's better to be a cow baby... okay."
Lin Nianhe was moved for a second, and then saw Niu Wa changing the bowl to a bowl full of meat that someone else had given him.
Lin Nianhe was quite sad. He glanced at these guys one by one who didn't know how to be humble and threatened, "You really don't know anything about my ability to hold grudges."
No one paid attention to her, and still no one paid attention to her.
Niu Wa kept in mind Sister Lin's instructions yesterday and silently divided the meat into her bowl.
"Hey, Niu Wa, what are you doing? You eat it yourself, who cares?" Wen Lan suppressed a smile and gave Niu Wa some of the meat in her bowl.
Niu Wa smiled obediently, blinked her big eyes and said "Thank you, Sister Wen", then turned around and gave the meat to Lin Nianhe.
Lin Nianhe suddenly became happy and cast a sullen look at Wen Lan to let her understand.
"Hey, Lin Nianhe, if you want to save some face, why are you snatching the child's meat?"
Seeing that it didn't work, everyone immediately changed their words and attacked her with words.
Lin Nianhe: "I didn't steal it, Niu Wa gave it to me! Are you jealous?"
Everyone: "..."
Jealous indeed!
Niu Wa has gained some weight during this time. The little guy is good-looking and smart, and he works hard at school. Who wouldn't like it?
But in Niu Wa's heart, the only one who could stand alongside Principal Wu was Lin Nianhe.
The loser's eyes couldn't hurt Lin Nianhe. She raised the corners of her mouth and said to Niu Wa: "You can play checkers with them later and win all their candies!"
Niu Wa nodded seriously: "Okay!"
Everyone: "..."
It's time to suggest to Principal Wu that Niu Wa should not be allowed to continue hanging out with Lin Nianhe. Sooner or later, a good child will be led astray.
The wedding banquet ended with laughter. Lin Nianhe stayed behind to help Aunt Li prepare the gift list. Wen Lan and Wang Shumei were waiting for her - they would have to carry her back later, and they couldn't rely on Niu Wa for this.
"Thank you for your hard work." Aunt Li looked at the gift list with neat and beautiful handwriting, and gave the remaining fruit candies to Lin Nianhe, "Take it back and you can eat it. The reception is not good today, so don't pick on my aunt."
"No, Aunt Li, the food is delicious." Lin Nianhe replied with a smile, "Then we won't stay any longer, you are busy."
"Okay, go slower on the way back and don't bump into me."
Aunt Li was at the door and watched the three of them go away before turning back.
There were not many pedestrians on the road, so Lin Nianhe told Wang Shumei about asking Qian Guozhu to help inquire about hearing aids.
After she fell yesterday, her cabin became a popular tourist attraction, but she couldn't find a time to tell Wang Shumei about it when there was no one around.
Wang Shumei frowned after hearing this: "What kind of thing? I haven't seen it either."
He had never seen anyone who had been involved in the black market all year round. Lin Nianhe had given up hope that Qian Guozhu could help him buy it.
Lin Nianhe sighed softly and said, "Let Brother Qian ask first. It would be best if there is any. I won't have to figure it out later."
"Okay, I'll tell him."
They never expected that the matter would turn around before Wang Shumei had time to convey it to Qian Guozhu.
After dinner, Wen Qingqing knocked on Lin Nianhe's door.
"What's wrong?" Lin Nianhe asked her.
Wen Qingqing walked to the kang and sat down, and replied: "I heard that you want to help the student's mother buy a hearing aid. Is this true?"
"Yes," Lin Nianhe was a little confused, "but how did you know?"
"I was picking vegetables in the backyard just now, and I heard Wen Zhiqing and Wang Zhiqing talking about this." Wen Qingqing asked her, "Do you have a place to buy it?"
Lin Nianhe told the truth: "No, I'm still asking."
Wen Qingqing straightened her back and raised her chin towards Lin Nianhe, with a stern expression that said, "Come and ask me."
Lin Nianhe looked at her and couldn't believe his guess: "Don't tell me, you know where to buy hearing aids."
Wen Qingqing raised her lips and smiled: "Of course I know, my uncle is the deputy director of the hearing aid factory."
Lin Nianhe put down the book and stretched out his hand in her direction: "Sister Qingqing, have you noticed that Sister Ruanruan and I actually look quite similar? Is there a possibility that I am actually your half-sister?"
Wen Qingqing: "..."
