Transmigration: Flirted with My Childhood Sweetheart-Chapter 51 - 50 Don’t Give Up
51: Chapter 50 Don’t Give Up
51 -50 Don’t Give Up
When truth cannot convince everyone, fists will persuade them.
Lin Nianhe understood the real reason behind the high enrolment rate of children in the Ten Miles Team as soon as she saw Wang Hong’s gaze.
She couldn’t help but imagine the scene where Wang Hong persuaded parents to send their children to school…
“The child is of age to attend school.”
“Um…”
“You still hesitating?
Beat him up!”
Any hesitation, even just for a second, was deemed disrespectful to Aunt Wang!
Lin Nianhe shuddered, her smile brighter than before, “Principal Wu, you have no idea, Aunt Wang earnestly promotes the importance of gender equality and education in the village…
Everyone is truly convinced!”
Speaking of education, Principal Wu’s eyes lit up a lot.
She asked earnestly, “Could you elaborate on that?”
Lin Nianhe: “…” Dare she say it, and would she dare to listen?
Principal Wu sighed, a touch of sorrow on her face.
“Actually, many people think education is useless, no one attends literacy classes, nor the night school, they all say that even after studying, one still ends up farming in the countryside, it’s useless.”
“But it’s different, studying isn’t just about literacy and arithmetic, it also enlightens one on understanding and knowing affairs…
The great learning is in the illumination…” Principal Wu stopped abruptly, the rest of her words caught in her throat, her face flushed red, she changed her tune, “Going to school contributes to the national development.”
Wang Hong didn’t know what Principal Wu left unsaid, but Lin Nianhe knew.
She looked at Principal Wu, who was hesitant to speak further, feeling somewhat bitter.
“Cough cough cough…”
Principal Wu covered her chest, coughing intensely.
Wang Hong snapped out of it and quickly stood up to pour her a cup of hot water, patting her back while saying, “Don’t talk about these things if you are coughing, just rest well.”
Principal Wu was coughing nearly to the point of suffocation, and after a while, she caught her breath and leaned back.
She clasped Wang Hong’s hand and did not let go, her murky eyes staring at her, “Comrade, what you are doing is very meaningful!”
Wang Hong felt a bit awkward.
She hadn’t read much, having dropped out after her parents died.
At first, she merely thought that girls were no different, if boys could go to school, why couldn’t girls?
Later, after seeing too many uneducated fathers, she thought these kids better not turn out like their deadbeat dads.
Therefore, she crammed as many boys as she could into the school.
She really hadn’t thought too much about it.
Wang Hong really didn’t know how to respond to Principal Wu’s words and once again glanced at Lin Nianhe for help.
Lin Nianhe looked at Principal Wu.
She wasn’t beautiful, skinny and aged, her eyes filled with burdens, as if she was worried about the whole world.
Sunlight bathed her, gilding her with a golden hue.
Lin Nianhe pursed her lips, and a blunt truth slipped out: “There’s nothing that a beating couldn’t solve; if there is, then it’s just not hard enough.”
Wang Hong’s embarrassment instantly vanished, she slowly turned her head to look at Lin Nianhe, her stiff neck making a cringe-inducing “crack” sound.
She felt like, her hand wanted to slap something.
Principal Wu had just stopped coughing when she was choked again by Lin Nianhe’s words, hurriedly drinking a few sips of hot water to suppress the itch in her throat.
After a light cough, looking at Wang Hong, she genuinely couldn’t believe Lin Nianhe’s words.
Taking Lin Nianhe’s words as a joke, she asked while patting Wang Hong’s hand, “How old do you think I look?”
Wang Hong after glaring at Lin Nianhe then turned back, scrutinized Principal Wu, and conservatively said, “Fifty?”
In fact, Wang Hong thought Principal Wu looked like she was in her mid-fifties, but since she said she had just retired, she should not be that old.
Principal Wu laughed and waved her hand, “I am thirty-nine officially.”
Wang Hong’s eyes widened in shock.
Lin Nianhe also frowned, looking at her white temples and the deep wrinkles on her forehead.
They say people in the countryside age faster, but Principal Wu looked even older than those in their fifties in the village.
Lin Nianhe felt a heaviness in her chest, not wanting to think further.
Still holding Wang Hong’s hand, Principal Wu looked earnestly into her eyes, “Sister, I had to retire due to illness, but if you’re willing, could you possibly go to other teams to share your experience?
I still have some influence at the commune office, I can arrange this.”
Wang Hong licked her lips.
What experience does she have!
Seeing Principal Wu’s sincere face, Wang Hong felt uneasy and lowered her head, saying, “Miss Lin is right…
a spanking will do.”
Principal Wu: “…”
She…
After a long while, she sighed deeply, closed her eyes wearily, and leaned back against the headboard.
In that moment, Lin Nianhe felt that she had aged a lot.
Wang Hong also sighed and turned back to sit on the stool beside Lin Nianhe’s bed.
After a moment of silence, she reached out and patted Lin Nianhe.
Lin Nianhe: “…”
Telling the truth really comes at a cost.
She awkwardly touched her nose and flashed Wang Hong a flattering smile.
Wang Hong rolled her eyes and ignored her. freёwebnoѵel.com
When Su Yuncheng and the doctor returned, they keenly sensed Lin Nianhe’s low spirits.
He looked at her and coaxed, “Don’t be afraid, at most you’ll just get another injection, it won’t hurt.”
He thought she was upset about having to stay in the hospital.
Lin Nianhe tugged at the corner of her mouth and shook her head, “I’m fine.”
Seeing Su Yuncheng coming back, Wang Hong immediately stood up: “Well, Comrade Xiao Su, I need to go to the police station with Comrade Feng, can you take care of Miss Lin for a while?”
Feng Wei had told her that the Zhang Family was about to be sentenced, and there were some procedures she needed to handle, this matter couldn’t be delayed.
“Okay,” Su Yuncheng was already aware of this and nodded, “Don’t worry, if Nianhe doesn’t need to stay in the hospital anymore, I’ll take her back.”
“Alright.”
After Wang Hong finished speaking, she poked Lin Nianhe’s head: “Don’t go strutting around before you’re fully healed, don’t make me have to bring you back here.”
Lin Nianhe: “Alright.”
Wang Hong quickly fled the awkward scene.
Somehow, even though Principal Wu hadn’t said anything, she just felt hugely indebted.
The doctor took Lin Nianhe’s temperature again, 37.1 degrees.
The doctor said, “It’s nothing serious, you can go home, I’ll prescribe some medicine, just take it if you have a fever again.”
“Great!
Thank you, doctor!”
Lin Nianhe’s eyes lit up.
Her little nest, she was coming back!
Su Yuncheng told Lin Nianhe to wait, and followed the doctor to get the medicine.
It was broad daylight now, so he didn’t need to worry too much.
Lin Nianhe got up to put on her shoes, folded the blanket, and was packing her things when she glimpsed Principal Wu still leaning against the bed, seemingly lifeless.
Lin Nianhe’s fingers slowly curled, she lowered her gaze for a moment, and softly said:
“The way of the university, lies in the promotion of the explicitly stated virtues, in affection to the people, in stopping at the highest good.”
Principal Wu suddenly opened his eyes, instinctively wanting to stop Lin Nianhe from continuing.
Lin Nianhe didn’t plan to say more, she looked at Principal Wu and smiled slightly, “Principal Wu, I think what Aunt Wang did was to teach according to the student’s ability, no matter what, the result was good, it’s just a pity it can’t be generalized.”
“But I believe, one day in the future, parents will voluntarily send their children to school, telling them the importance of education.”
“To eliminate malpractices for sage enlightenment, willing to treasure the declining years despite frailty.”
“Principal Wu, don’t give up.”
Principal Wu looked steadily at the young girl in front of him, two lines of clear tears slid down the temples.
At this moment, Lin Nianhe didn’t know that in the decades to come, every time Principal Wu faced difficulties, he would always remember this day.
On this day, that little girl, against the light, smiling gracefully, told him not to give up.
