After yesterday's accident, the little girl fainted out of fear.
After finally waking up, I had to face the scolding from my parents again.
For such a young child, he spent the whole day in fear and was so scared that he could not speak.
Now, he was immediately dragged to see Jiang Ning by his parents.
The solemn atmosphere emanating from the adults also kept pressing on the child, making the little figure tense and want to shrink.
The little girl has been hiding behind her parents since she entered the house.
Her dirty little hands were clutching her mother's trouser legs, not daring to come out to see anyone.
Later, her father pulled her out and forced her to face Jiang Ning.
Under the pressure of her father, the little girl's eyes were filled with moisture, and tears almost burst out of her eyes.
When I'm so nervous and scared.
The little girl's trembling eyes met Jiang Ning's gaze.
It was a gentle gaze.
And she remembered this aunt.
At the most dangerous moment, when she was about to fall off a high cliff, it was this aunt who hugged her.
That moment.
Although the little girl fainted from fright quickly, she still remembered Jiang Ning's appearance as he flew towards her.
I also remember the warm strength when Jiang Ning held her tightly.
It's like...Mom.
When she staggered, couldn't walk steadily, and often fell.
Every time she was about to hit the ground, only her mother would be so nervous about her and try her best to hold her in the most dangerous moment.
At such a young age, the little girl had no idea what was going on.
But her senses felt that this gentle and funny aunt in front of her would not hurt her.
inside the house.
Fell into silence.
No one knew what Jiang Ning was thinking when she looked at the little girl.
The little girl's parents even began to worry whether Jiang Ning would make any unreasonable demands.
But only the little girl...
She slowly took a step forward from behind her mother.
He came slightly closer to Jiang Ning.
Although the little girl didn't speak, her clear and bright eyes were looking straight at Jiang Ning.
A child's eyes are like windows to the soul.
Jiang Ning thought of Tongtong.
Tongtong looks like Qin Jiulie, his pupils are very dark, the color of obsidian.
It's also so clear and translucent.
Think about this.
Jiang Ning's eyes were filled with strong emotions again.
Just when everyone was on tenterhooks, Jiang Ning finally spoke.
She looked up at the old village chief and asked him a question.
"Is this child in school?"
The old village chief was stunned.
He had no idea what this matter had to do with their previous conversation.
After being stunned, he immediately came back to his senses and said.
"No. There are two sons in their family. The older one stays at home and works, and the younger one follows Teacher Yang and has entered the class. As for her... she is just a girl. It is useless to learn these things. You don’t have to get married when you grow up.”
Such an answer was not what Jiang Ning expected.
There is a pattern in backward mountain villages.
The poorer the family, the more children they have.
As long as the children grow up to five or six years old, they will have an extra labor force.
They work in the fields and go up the mountain to cut pig grass. The older children take care of the younger children.
Boys are better off and can more or less decide their own destiny.
But for girls...
If you can't get out of the mountains in your life, then the only way out is to get married and have children.
Even generations are trapped.
Jiang Ning has seen and heard more of such things.
She does not have the ability to help every child, but the little girl in front of her - she must not become like this!
After all, Tongtong... loves the outside world so much!
Jiang Ning made up his mind.
Looking at the old village chief again, his eyes became more firm and decisive.
she continued.
"Village Chief, since I saved this little girl's life, I also have the right to participate in her future life."
"I don't need any thanks from them, and I don't need them to give me their daughter. My only request is that they send this child to school."
"When she reaches the age, start elementary school. When middle school is available later, send her to middle school. As long as she wants to continue studying, her wishes must be respected. Even if their family can only send one child to school, it must be she."
After listening to Jiang Ning's request.
The little girl's parents were still confused because they couldn't understand the Mandarin spoken by Jiang Ning.
The old village chief understood, but his expression was hesitant and troubled.
"Comrade Jiang, you...your request...they have two boys at home, how can they be willing to send a girl to school!"
Jiang Ning's answer to the old village chief was not surprising.
She had already thought about her next words.
"Old village chief, do you know how much I spent on medical treatment and medicine yesterday? Even if their family sells the two boys, they still won't be able to pay it back."
Jiang Ning's question came out of his mouth.
The old village chief immediately understood what Jiang Ning meant.
This was Jiang Ning's unabashed intimidation.
She doesn't want to be a good person.
If the little girl's parents don't agree to her request, they must compensate her for yesterday's medical expenses.
That's ginseng, such a big ginseng.
The news spread throughout the village.
Not to mention selling two boys, even the eighteen generations of their family together would not be able to afford the compensation.
The old village chief knew the seriousness of the matter.
He turned to the parents of the little girl on the side and communicated in the local dialect, accurately meeting Jiang Ning's requirements.
At first, the little girl's parents had the same reaction as the old village chief, hesitating and struggling, even protesting and retorting, chattering non-stop.
But as the old village chief said more words.
The little girl's parents suddenly looked at Jiang Ning, and a hint of fear gradually appeared in their eyes.
This guy... they couldn't afford to mess with.
Under this fear, the little girl's parents finally nodded.
The old village chief was finally able to explain to Jiang Ning.
"Comrade Jiang, I told them everything you asked for, and they agreed."
"Okay." Jiang Ning nodded lightly and added slowly, "Teacher Yang from Red Star Primary School is from our military compound. She is a good teacher and will definitely be able to teach this child a lot of knowledge."
Jiang Ning's tone of voice was gentle, but the look in his eyes when he looked at the old village chief was meaningful.
The implication of this sentence.
Actually... there are people of mine in the school, and I will know clearly whether the little girl goes to school or not. Even if I leave, you can't lie to me!
The old village chief was so stressed that he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
Jiang Ning looked at the child again.
She waved gently.
"Child, come here."
The little girl took small steps and stepped forward timidly.
Jiang Ning raised the corners of his mouth gently, took another red apple and put it into the little girl's hand.
She gently held the little girl's hand and warned her softly.
"The outside world is big and exciting. If you can take a look, you will definitely like it as much as he does."
This sentence.
For a little girl, it is completely incomprehensible.
But the look in Jiang Ning's eyes at this moment, as well as the gentle warning, will remain in the little girl's memory for the rest of her life.
It was even a source of warmth and strength that had always existed in her life.
(I still can’t help but give some spoilers, Tongtong’s storyline is still long~~~~~)
