Lin Nianhe didn't stay in the village primary school for too long. There were two little guys in the educated youth camp. She was afraid that they would be scared if they didn't see an acquaintance when they woke up.
She didn't forget to tell Principal Wu that they were going to attend classes at the village primary school.
Principal Wu always welcomes students. Even when Lin Nianhe told them about their life experiences, she just frowned and sighed, "When parents do evil, the children are the first to suffer."
Lin Nianhe deeply agreed with this.
Regardless of how their lives will be in the future, just looking at the current appearance of the two children, one can tell that the great changes in the family have caused a considerable psychological shadow on them.
Bai Xiaojun is better, he is young and not sensible yet. Zheng Shan just...
"Shanshan, what are you doing?"
Lin Nianhe returned to the educated youth spot and saw Zheng Shan at a glance.
She sat on the small bench, lowered her head, and fiddled with the corners of her clothes in a daze.
Not far from her, Bai Xiaojun was squatting in the corner digging an ant hole, holding a small wooden gun in one hand and a wooden stick in the other.
Lin Nianhe saw that Bai Xiaojun was playing well, so he went to squat in front of Zheng Shan and asked her softly.
Zheng Shan pursed her lips, looked up at Lin Nianhe, and then quickly lowered her head.
Lin Nianhe frowned slightly, feeling a little more worried.
Just as she was about to say a few more words to Zheng Shan, her sleeve was tugged.
Looking back, it was Wang Xiaoxiao.
Wang Xiaoxiao glanced at Zheng Shan, then lay down next to Lin Nianhe's ear and whispered to her: "Sister Lin, this sister seems to be sick... I talked to her many times but she didn't answer. Sister Wen took her out of the room. Take her out and she will sit here all the time."
Lin Nianhe glanced at Zheng Shan and frowned when he saw that she was still rubbing the corners of her clothes.
She nodded towards Wang Xiaoxiao and said, "My sister is not feeling unwell, she is just a little shy. It's okay. I'll stay with her."
Lin Nianhe was chatting with Wang Xiao, but his attention was all on Zheng Shan.
She saw that when she said "fear of life", Zheng Shan's fingers paused slightly and seemed to be looser.
Wang Xiaoxiao wanted to say something else, but Lin Nianhe shook his head at her almost imperceptibly.
Wang Xiaoxiao said "hmm" and took two steps back. After thinking about it, she waved to Zheng Shan: "Sister, come back to me when you want to play with me!"
Zheng Shan didn't look up, didn't speak, didn't respond.
Wang Xiaoxiao was not annoyed and ran back to stick to Wang Shumei.
After she left, Lin Nianhe asked Zheng Shan: "Shanshan, you don't like crowds of people, do you? How about we go inside?"
Zheng Shan stopped rubbing her clothes.
She glanced at Lin Nianhe quickly, but still pursed her lips and refused to speak.
Lin Nianhe handed her his hand and said softly, "If you want to go back to the house, just hold my hand."
Zheng Shan stared at Lin Nianhe's hand, silent, like a little wooden man.
Lin Nianhe didn't take the initiative to touch her, nor did he rush her. He just raised his hands and waited.
After a long while, Lin Nianhe's arms were sore, and Zheng Shan finally slowly stretched out her hand, tentatively and gently placed her fingers on Lin Nianhe's palm.
Lin Nianhe held her fingers and gently pulled her up from the bench.
She pulled Zheng Shan into the room and asked her to sit on a chair. She ran out and borrowed a chair from Wang Shumei's room, brought it back, and sat at the table.
Lin Nianhe put water and sugar in Zheng Shan's hand, then took out a blank notebook and pencil and put them in front of her.
She said: "Shanshan, if you want, you can draw."
Zheng Shan leaned back on the chair and hid in her own little world, as if that was the safest way.
Lin Nianhe was worried, but his face remained calm. She casually took out a set of physics test papers, forced herself to turn her attention away from Zheng Shan, and started to do the questions.
The rustling sound of the pen tip touching the paper lengthens the time, and along with the chirping of birds and the chirping of insects, one's heart gradually calms down.
When Lin Nianhe finished half of the test paper, he heard another rustling sound.
She turned her head slightly and saw Zheng Shan holding a pencil out of the corner of her eye.
Lin Nianhe didn't look at her again, lowered his eyes and continued writing.
The two of them were doing their own things without any communication, but Lin Nianhe clearly felt that Zheng Shan's mood had relaxed a little.
More than half an hour later, voices came from outside. Wen Lan and Qian Guozhu, who were collecting firewood, were back.
"Hezi, what are you doing?" Wen Lan was sweating profusely and handed the enamel jar over from the window, "Do you have water there? Pour me some."
"Yes, wait a minute."
Lin Nianhe took the enamel jar, poured water back into it, and glanced at Zheng Shan's notebook as if inadvertently.
The little girl put down her pen when Wen Lan came over and retracted into the chair again.
In the book, there are four people and a river in her painting. She was not good at painting, and Lin Nianhe guessed that their family of four might be catching fish.
Lin Nianhe only glanced at it and handed the enamel jar to Wen Lan as if nothing was wrong. After Sister Lan took a few sips of water, Lin Nianhe said, "Sister Lan, I promised to take Xiaojun to catch fish at noon. You Are you tired?"
"I'm not tired, let's go." Wen Lan raised her chin and said with great enthusiasm, "I watched Comrade Xie catch fish last time, and I feel like I've learned it too."
Lin Nianhe would never question Wen Lan when it came to work.
She was afraid that her face would hurt.
"Okay, then you wait for me for a while while I clean up."
"Well, I'm going to ask Xiaoxiao if he can go."
After Wen Lan left, Lin Nianhe smiled and said to Zheng Shan, "Shanshan, let's go catch fish."
Zheng Shan pursed her lips and looked up at her.
There was hesitation and hesitation in the big black and white eyes, as well as a hint of fear.
Lin Nianhe said: "I promised Xiaojun at noon, and I can't break my promise. If you don't want to go into the river, we can play on the bank."
Zheng Shan's eyes slowly moved down and looked at Lin Nianhe's hand.
Lin Nianhe understood and reached out to her again.
This time, Zheng Shan didn't let Lin Nianhe wait, and quickly held her finger.
Lin Nianhe took her out to find Bai Xiaojun. When Bai Xiaojun heard that he was going to catch fish, his chubby face was filled with anticipation.
But he didn't agree immediately. He looked around and didn't see Zheng Lirong, so he could only ask Zheng Shan: "Sister, can we go?"
Little Fatty, who was running around on the train, learned to ask for opinions. Lin Nianhe watched, but didn't want to praise him for being sensible.
Zheng Shan still had some reaction to Bai Xiaojun. She nodded and grabbed Lin Nianhe's hand unconsciously with a little more force.
Lin Nianhe held her hand firmly and returned her warmth.
Hearing that they were going to catch fish, Qian Guozhu was worried and put down the firewood and followed them.
Lin Nianhe and Zheng Shan were sitting side by side by the winding river.
Wang Xiaoxiao changed into Wang Shumei's clothes, with her sleeves and trouser legs folded in half. She stepped in the river, and her laughter floated away on the current.
She was having fun herself, and she did not forget to drag Bai Xiaojun with her other hand. The two of them were like troublemakers. The fish were so frightened that the fish swam quickly around them. Wen Lan, who wanted to show off his talents, couldn't find the target even if he wanted to catch the fish. , Sister Lan simply gave up catching fish and used a wooden stick to stir up water and splash it on the two little ones.
They laughed and laughed together, making Lin Nianhe and Zheng Shan feel a little deserted.
Lin Nianhe peeled off two White Rabbit toffees and handed one to Zheng Shan.
Zheng Shan held the candy in her mouth and looked at the laughing three people intently.
Lin Nianhe said: "Shanshan, do you want to go play for a while? I'll accompany you."
Zheng Shan's trembling eyelashes paused, rose a little, then fell again.
She slowly lowered her head and held the corner of her clothes again with her little hands.
