"Oh, that's what she said."
In the village school, Principal Wu sat at the table and sighed.
She had just finished listening to Lin Nianhe and Wang Shumei's story. It was a story that clearly made both girls blush, but Principal Wu was uncharacteristically calm.
She was still sitting there, quietly, stroking her fingers on the map, looking for something.
Lin Nianhe asked her: "Principal, what are you thinking about?"
"I didn't think anything of it," Principal Wu replied.
Wang Shumei couldn't help but ask: "Don't you want to persuade Cailan Niang about her matter?"
Principal Wu raised his head, pressed his sore neck and replied: "How should I persuade her? If it were me, I would choose this way."
After Principal Wu finished speaking, he turned to look at the two of them with helplessness in his eyes: "Nian He, Shumei, if it were me, I wouldn't ask for a hearing aid, even if I don't need it, I would pay for it now."
Lin Nianhe and Wang Shumei read the sadness in her helplessness.
They couldn't help but wonder, if it were Shen Cailan's fault, would Cailan's wife accept this debt that would make matters worse.
Answer……
"Teacher Lin? Teacher Lin, are you there?"
Before they could figure out the answer, someone called Lin Nianhe outside.
The voice was very unfamiliar. Lin Nianhe frowned slightly and responded, "I'm here."
As she spoke, she stepped out. When she passed Wang Shumei, she pushed her calmly and signaled her to stay in the room to protect Principal Wu.
There were two people standing in the yard, looking at them as a couple. They were dressed in shabby clothes and had dark skin. They looked like nearby villagers. He has gray hair on his temples and looks to be about the same age as Principal Wu. The man's face was still a little bruised, as if he had just been in a fight.
Lin Nianhe had a vague impression that he had seen them somewhere, but his impression was very vague. He must have never spoken to them in person.
She stood in front of the door, firmly blocking the door behind her.
"Hello, I'm Lin Nianhe, what's the matter?" Lin Nianhe asked.
Yang Daniu rubbed his hands nervously, the flesh on his face twitched twice, and he grinned: "Teacher Lin, I heard that you can make things so that people can hear them. I want to ask how they sell them. of?"
Lin Nianhe was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered that Zhao Zhuangshi had said before that there was a child in Jiuli Brigade who was also deaf.
She looked at the couple in front of her. No matter how she looked at them, she didn't think they should be the parents of a four-year-old child.
She asked: "Who are you two?"
"Oh, oh, my name is Yang Daniu. This is my wife. My family is from the Jiuli Brigade. My son's ear was damaged by that little guy from Zhuang Shu last year." Yang Daniu said quickly, "If you don't believe it, you can ask Captain Li. , we are all familiar with each other."
Yang's sister-in-law also nodded repeatedly: "Yes, when Daxi was little, she always played with me."
Listening to these words, Lin Nianhe's heart was already filled with turmoil.
People nowadays get married young, and the children are only four years old. They are probably in their mid-twenties at most. But for such young people, their hair turned gray early.
As for the injury on Yang Daniu's face... he probably got it accidentally when he hit Zhuang Shu.
Lin Nianhe was 80% convinced, but could only say: "It's not certain whether this hearing aid can be purchased. We have to wait for a reply from the hearing aid manufacturer. I don't know how much it will cost yet."
What she said was true, but Yang Daniu and his wife couldn't rest assured.
Sister-in-law Yang looked at Lin Nianhe, her eyes suddenly turned red.
She took a few steps forward to come to Lin Nianhe, held her hand and cried while saying: "Teacher Lin, I beg you, please help us... My son is only four years old. What will happen to him when he can no longer hear?" How much is the price? We are willing to spend any amount of money, and I have to let my son hear it..."
Sister-in-law Yang's hand was trembling as she held Lin Nianhe's hand. Her knees softened, and she grabbed Lin Nianhe's hand and was about to kneel down.
"No, no, no!"
Lin Nianhe quickly held her hand and tried his best to explain: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, listen to me and tell you slowly... you... if you kneel down again, I really won't care about you!"
This last sentence is undoubtedly the most effective.
Sister-in-law Yang did not kneel down anymore, but she still did not let go of Lin Nianhe's hand.
She didn't know if what she was doing was right or not. She only knew that this was her son's only hope.
Lin Nianhe sighed lightly, invited the couple into the classroom, and explained all the causes and consequences before finally saying: "So, I am not sure whether I can buy a hearing aid now, let alone how much it will cost."
After hearing her words, Yang Daniu and Sister-in-law Yang looked at each other.
The fire that had just been ignited in their eyes was extinguished again.
Lin Nianhe looked at them and asked tentatively: "Can Yumin not hear the sound at all?"
Sister-in-law Yang sighed, wiped her eyes and said, "Sometimes you can hear a little bit if the sound is very loud, and sometimes you can't hear anything no matter how loud the sound is..."
She wiped away her tears and sighed, and there seemed to be a few more white hairs on her temples.
Lin Nianhe thought for a moment and suggested, "Why don't you two take your child to the provincial capital to have a look first? The doctors in the provincial capital are more powerful, so maybe they can cure it?"
Yang Daniu blurted out: "Doctors, what else is different?" He now looked down on doctors extremely and did not believe in them.
Lin Nianhe said: "There are differences between people, let alone doctors? Brother Yang, sister-in-law, I have only heard that deafness can also be cured. If you don't want to go to the hospital in the provincial capital, then if there is any news about hearing aids here, I’ll tell you right away, okay?”
Everything that needs to be said has been said, and if they don't listen, there is nothing Lin Nianhe can do.
"Okay, okay! Teacher Lin, as long as I can buy it, I'll sell it to my son and get one for my son!"
"Thank you, Teacher Lin!"
Lin Nianhe breathed a sigh of relief and sent them away.
"How pitiful the hearts of parents in the world are."
Principal Wu came out at some point and sighed softly.
Lin Nianhe also nodded: "Yes, it's difficult for them."
Wang Shumei's eyes were dim and she didn't speak.
Lin Nianhe rubbed his eyes and said, "No matter what, we have to wait for a reply from Sister Qingqing's family. Principal, if there is nothing else, I will go back first. It's time to make lunch."
"Wait a minute," Principal Wu dragged her into the room, pointing at the map with eyes full of curiosity, "Nianhe, where is the 'Valoran City' you mentioned this morning? I've been looking for it all morning. I didn’t find it either.”
Lin Nianhe: "...!"
Wang Shumei: "Pfft..."
Principal Wu looked at Wang Shumei, who was laughing loudly, and suddenly understood something.
She slapped the table: "Lin Nianhe, tell me honestly, did you lie to me this morning?"
Lin Nianhe was so frightened by the "bang" that he shrank his neck.
She raised the corner of her mouth and moved back with a dry smile: "Principal, principal, please calm down, it's hurtful to be angry... Look at your age, why are you arguing with a little girl like me... Hahaha Niuwa! Niuwa, help me!"
I went to the hospital today. Please take some time off and make up for it tomorrow~
