Wen Qingqing ran over excitedly, holding the telegram.
Lin Nianhe's eyes lit up instantly. She immediately came over to support the panting Wen Qingqing and asked, "How is it? Can it be done?"
She looked at Wen Qingqing and licked her lips nervously.
Wen Qingqing panted heavily, smiled at Lin Nianhe, and went straight to the point: "He said they can be bought! Ask us how many we need!"
"Very good!"
Lin Nianhe couldn't help but jump up.
Wen Qingqing was also very happy. She opened her arms and hugged Lin Nianhe. Her laughter shocked both Principal Wu and Niu Wa.
Wen Qingqing hugged Lin Nianhe and laughed for a while, then said, "But it's really expensive, one costs two hundred yuan."
Lin Nianhe frowned slightly.
"Nianhe, how many do you want? I can write a reply to my uncle."
"Wait for me. I'll go to Jiuli Brigade and ask." Lin Nianhe patted her shoulder, "You go back to work first. I'll go to town at noon and send the telegram for you."
"Okay, then I'll go back first."
"Um!"
Lin Nianhe responded and turned around and ran towards the educated youth spot.
Principal Wu heard them talking and roughly guessed who they were talking about, so he just smiled and didn't stop them.
She saw Lin Nianhe running away, and when she looked back, she glanced at Zhao Zhuangshi at the door.
"Zhuangzhuang, why are you crying?" Principal Wu looked at Zhao Zhuangshi in confusion, his eyes full of confusion.
Zhao Zhuangshi: "I...I'm so damn happy..."
…
Lin Nianhe picked up the bicycle and rushed towards Jiuli Brigade. She had to be back before class.
She didn't recognize Yang Daniu's house, so she went directly to He's house.
He Aimin no longer needs crutches, but he still walks a little slowly.
"Uncle He, good morning."
Lin Nianhe got off his bicycle and greeted He Aimin who was practicing walking in the yard.
He Aimin wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked her, "Come here early in the morning. What do you want?"
"Comrade Yang Daniu came to me to ask about hearing aids before, and he got a message back. I'm here to tell him." Lin Nianhe said, "It's just that I don't know where the Yang family is, so I came to ask you."
"Daniu and his wife are both at work right now," He Aimin said, "Just wait, I'll call him back over the radio."
"OK."
Lin Nianhe followed He Aimin to the brigade headquarters. He Aimin went to broadcast, so she waited in the yard.
Not long after, Yang Daniu and Sister Yang came over in a hurry.
Seeing Lin Nianhe, they stopped slightly, then immediately quickened their pace and ran towards her.
"Teacher Lin," Yang Daniu clenched his fists nervously, "Do you believe what happened to my son?"
Lin Nianhe looked at them both and nodded.
Both of them were wearing coarse cloth clothes from working in the fields. They were patched in many places and had been washed so that the original color could not be seen.
But after listening to Lin Nianhe's words, they immediately laughed, laughing until tears fell.
"Okay, okay, okay!" Yang Daniu clenched his fists, so excited that the veins on his forehead bulged.
He wiped his eyes and rubbed the dirt on his hands all over his face.
He said: "My dear, go home and get the money! Our son can hear it!"
Tears fell from Sister-in-law Yang's eyes. She wiped away the tears with trembling hands and nodded vigorously: "Hey! OK!"
After she finished speaking, she was about to leave, but Lin Nianhe stopped her first: "Sister-in-law, please wait a moment."
Sister-in-law Yang's smile froze. She looked timidly into Lin Nianhe's eyes and asked tentatively, "What's wrong, Teacher Lin? Do you have any requirements?"
"Not really, it's just that the price is a bit high." Lin Nianhe was a little speechless.
Two hundred dollars.
For Wen Lan, just four woolen coats can be exchanged;
For Wang Shumei, just sending a few kilograms of apples to the black market is enough;
For Lin Nianhe, all she needed to do was go to the vegetable cellar while taking a walk after a meal and put some supplies in there that she couldn't use up.
But for the couple in front of them, this money...maybe more than their whole family can earn in two or three years.
Seeing Lin Nianhe's hesitant look, Yang Daniu waved his hand boldly: "It's okay, Teacher Lin, I have to buy a hearing aid for my son even if I'm selling it! Just tell me how much it will cost, and I'll definitely be able to come up with it!"
He said it very simply and didn't feel distressed at all.
Those were his son's ears, so of course he wouldn't feel bad.
Lin Nianhe looked at him and stretched out two fingers.
Yang Daniu was shocked and couldn't help but gasped: "Twenty yuan! It's so expensive!"
Twenty yuan was probably the highest price he could think of.
Sister-in-law Yang wiped away her tears and said to him: "The family has enough money, but... there is nothing left at all."
Because of Yang Yumin's ears, they have worked hard to save money in the past two years.
Yang Daniu said: "It's okay. There's nothing going on at home. I'll buy a hearing aid for my son first so that he can hear... I'll earn it later!"
"Yeah!" Sister-in-law Yang smiled and took another step.
Lin Nianhe closed his eyes and couldn't bear to tell them the truth.
Two hundred dollars.
They probably never thought about this kind of price.
"Teacher Lin?" Sister-in-law Yang noticed something was wrong. She asked tentatively, "Did we guess wrong? Wasn't it twenty yuan?"
She asked cautiously, her palms sweating from nervousness.
Twenty yuan would cost them all their money. If it was more expensive, it would lead to famine.
Lin Nianhe looked at Sister-in-law Yang, was silent for a moment, and then let go of her hand.
She slowly raised the corners of her mouth and said to her in as calm a tone as possible: "No, it's just twenty yuan. I'm worried that if you take out all the money, you won't be able to cope with anything if something happens in the future." opened."
Sister-in-law Yang let out a long sigh of relief as if she was exhausted. She patted her heart and staggered a bit.
She tried her best to smile and said: "It's nothing, nothing is as important as Yumin's hearing...Besides, isn't the autumn harvest coming soon? After the autumn harvest, the grain will be distributed. It's nothing. I can survive it."
She didn't know whether her words were meant for Lin Nianhe or herself.
Anyway, after saying this, she felt much better.
"Okay, as long as you have made your decision." Lin Nianhe nodded, "Then I'll wait for you."
"Okay!" Sister-in-law Yang nodded happily, "Mr. Lin, please wait for a while, I will go back to get the money!"
Lin Nianhe watched her run away quickly, as if she was worried that she would miss this opportunity.
Lin Nianhe smiled helplessly and murmured to himself: "Aren't she afraid that I am a liar?"
Yang Daniu heard Lin Nianhe talking, but didn't hear what she said clearly.
With a flattering smile on his face, he asked Lin Nianhe: "Teacher Lin, what are you talking about?"
Lin Nianhe came back to his senses, looked at him and said, "I said, we should go to Uncle He to sign a certificate. Aren't you afraid that I am a liar and took your money but didn't buy you a hearing aid?"
Yang Daniu was stunned, and cold sweat suddenly fell down, soaking his clothes.
That was his son’s life-saving money!
If you are really cheated...
Yang Daniu didn't care whether he looked good or not, and said quickly: "Okay, let's sign a certificate and let the team leader testify!"
Lin Nianhe nodded lightly: "Let's go."
