Principal Wu always puts students first and puts everything else aside.
As the only student in the village primary school, and with the bonus of being an adopted son, Niu Wa's status in Principal Wu's heart is unparalleled.
Niu Wa ran out of the classroom and saw his sister Lin being chased across the playground by the principal's mother holding a shovel.
Niuwa: "..."
The little guy sighed, shook his head, then ran to Principal Wu with his short legs, and grabbed her hand familiarly: "Principal Mom, don't be angry, Sister Lin's leg is still injured."
Principal Wu stared at Lin Nianhe with a shovel: "If she was not injured, I would have filmed her!"
Niu Wa shook Principal Wu's hand: "Principal's mother is the best, please don't be angry."
The little guy is good-looking, he always acts like a little adult, and occasionally acts coquettishly, who can resist this?
Principal Wu lowered his head and rubbed Niu Wa's head, paving the way for himself: "Okay, since she still has to teach you how to read, I won't beat her. But, Lin Nianhe, you have to write a review for me." ...Lin Nianhe? Where is he?"
Principal Wu raised his head as he spoke, but Lin Nianhe disappeared from his eyes.
She asked: "Niu Wa, where is your sister Lin?"
Niuwa: "Run away."
Principal Wu: "...!"
Lin Nianhe moved out of the school gate and started kicking. The injury on her knee couldn't stop her at all.
When it’s time to run, run as quickly as possible to avoid further trouble if you can’t run!
Lin Nianhe knew this very well.
She quickly ran back to the educated youth spot and pretended to be with Yu Xiangqin who was about to go to work.
"Hey!"
Yu Xiangqin grabbed Lin Nianhe, and when she stood firm, she threw her away in disgust, curling her lips and mocking: "What? Did you let the dog chase you away?"
Lin Nianhe: "..." She really couldn't accept this.
Seeing that Lin Nianhe didn't speak, Yu Xiangqin smacked her lips, rolled her eyes at her, turned around and squatted down: "Come on, living ancestor, you are getting better every day."
It looked like he was planning to carry Lin Nianhe back.
Lin Nianhe reached out and poked her back: "Sister Xiangqin, I'm fine. I'm much better."
Yu Xiangqin immediately stood up and turned back to glare at her: "It's okay, why are you so pitiful and pretentious? It's like I bullied you."
Lin Nianhe was very innocent: "It's not that I want to pretend to be pitiful, it's just that I really can't accept what you just said."
"What's wrong? What did I say wrong?"
"I was kicked out by Principal Wu just now."
"..."
In order to silence Lin Nianhe, Yu Xiangqin paid a quarter of a piece of peach cake.
When Wang Shumei returned to the backyard, she saw Lin Nianhe sitting on the small bench at the door, holding a peach cake in his right hand and holding the crumbs against his chin with his left hand.
Wang Shumei was a little puzzled: "Don't you like peach cakes?"
"Well, Sister Xiangqin said I was too thin and she had to give me some supplements."
Wang Shumei: "..." I have no grievances with Comrade, Comrade, why do you treat me as a fool?
Lin Nianhe put the last bit of peach cake into his mouth, stood up with his legs crossed, went to Wang Shumei and said to her: "Sister Shumei, I'm going out tonight."
Counting the time, Qian Guozhu and the others should turn back tonight.
"Can your legs and feet work on your own? How about I accompany you?" Wang Shumei frowned, "Stop falling."
"No, don't worry."
Lin Nianhe touched the six small red strings on his wrist, feeling reassured.
eight pm.
Wang Shumei placed a stool under the wall, and she and Wen Lan helped Lin Nianhe climb the wall.
She whispered: "Squeak when you come back, and Xiaolan and I will pick you up."
Lin Nianhe had never climbed over such a frustrating wall before. Hearing the words, he responded: "Okay, then you two have to listen and don't be like last time."
"Okay, okay, let's go!"
Wen Lan pushed Lin Nianhe up with a strong hand.
Lin Nianhe jumped off the wall lightly. The scab wound was not too painful and did not affect her going up the mountain.
She walked into the forest with a flashlight, walking leisurely along the mountain road that she knew by heart.
People go to bed early now, and no one goes into the mountains at night. Lin Nianhe walks confidently and boldly, not feeling scared at all.
After entering the familiar small cave, she saw two traces of fires on the ground, as well as unburned firewood.
These things were not left by her, nor could they be left by Qian Guozhu and Sun Mancang.
Either Wu Genmao and Cao Shijian came here to keep an eye on the others, or villagers who went up to the mountains to hunt rested here.
Compared to the former, Lin Nianhe is more inclined to the latter possibility.
The reason is simple - Wu Genmao and the others have been in the Shili Brigade almost all day, and they don't have the brains to think like this.
To prevent accidents, Lin Nianhe went out for a walk and found no trace of an ambush.
If it wasn't the two of them, it would have to be the villagers who came. They came as soon as they came, and their names were not written in this cave. As long as they didn't bump into them in the middle of the night, it wouldn't be a big deal.
She returned to the cave with confidence, kicked the firewood aside, took out the prepared apples and pears and put them in the corner, and went out to check the pulley.
There was no problem with the pulley, but Lin Nianhe suddenly thought of a serious question——
It has not been discovered so far because it is blocked by dense leaves. If the leaves fall off after autumn, this thing will not be hidden.
More importantly, this is the Northeast, and there is a saying called "heavy snow seals the mountains."
By then, she really couldn't climb the mountain in the middle of the night.
Even if she could defeat nature, those goods were left in the cave for half a night... There is a market for frozen pears, does anyone like to eat frozen apples?
Lin Nianhe stood at the entrance of the cave, akimbo and looking in the direction of the road.
She found that she needed a cellar, and she also needed two volunteers who would not talk nonsense, think too much, and work hard to dig the cellar.
Volunteers are easy to find.
After dinner the next day, Lin Nianhe took Wu Genmao and Cao Shijian to the foot of the mountain next to the road.
"I'm going to dig a cellar," she said.
Cao Shijian asked: "Who should be buried?"
Lin Nianhe: "...?"
Cao Shijian said clearly: "Teacher Lin, I understand, you cultural people don't like to talk about digging graves! But you didn't find the place well. If the police find you, isn't it..."
"Shut up!" Lin Nianhe covered his eyes and gritted his teeth and said, "I really only need a cellar, ten meters long and ten meters wide, near here. You can choose a suitable place to dig."
Cao Shijian wanted to say something else, but Wu Genmao kicked him into the ditch.
Wu Genmao approached Lin Nianhe and asked mysteriously: "Teacher Lin, is this for inventory?"
With Cao Shijian as the foil, Wu Genmao looks extremely smart.
Lin Nianhe felt a little more comfortable. She nodded and said: "This work cannot be done openly, so it can only be done by the two of you in the middle of the night. You dig first. The bricks and other things you need will be dug out after you dig out the hole." I’ll get it for you later.”
"Okay, don't worry, Teacher Lin, we can do this job!" Wu Genmao promised, slapping his chest, "We used to dig several vegetable cellars in the provincial capital!"
Lin Nianhe didn't expect that these two volunteers were still veterans, so he felt a little more relieved. He gave each of them five yuan and went back to rest with peace of mind.
Wu Genmao and Cao Shijian looked at Lin Nianhe's back, holding the money in their hands with tears in their eyes.
"Mao, I think it's good to hang out with my sister-in-law. She has food to eat and money to take. From now on, we will always follow her." Cao Shijian was full of yearning.
Wu Genmao reminded him: "Jian, we are here to keep a lookout. If the eldest brother asks us to go back, we have to go back. Don't forget, the third brother asked us to promise with our heads that if the eldest brother survives even one day, we will follow him." Just mess around for a day.”
"Ah...when will eldest brother die?"
Under the moonlight, Cao Shijian's eyes were filled with anticipation.
