Chapter 281: Chapter 280 This Matter is Quite Complicated

Lin Nianhe suddenly felt the urge to visit the police station while she was paying her phone bill.

There was no other reason; she simply thought that she should inform Su Yuncheng about the situation.

Or to have him let Zhou Xu know that if there was a package from Wen Qingqing, it should be delivered as soon as possible.

This reason sounded pretty good, so Lin Nianhe got on her bike and headed for the police station.

"Teacher Xiao Lin, Teacher Xiao Lin!"

Lin Nianhe heard a familiar voice and immediately stopped her bike.

Looking in the direction of the voice, she saw Feng Yuanshan waving at her with a big smile, signalling her to come over.

Lin Nianhe: "..."

This was delaying her chance to see a handsome guy... oh no, her chance to attend to serious business.

She pursed her lips, noticing that there were others beside Feng Yuanshan looking at her as well. Realizing it was too late to pretend not to hear him, she reluctantly wheeled her bike over to them.

"Hello, Uncle Feng," Lin Nianhe greeted obediently.

"Hello, hello," Feng Yuanshan replied with joy, looking at Lin Nianhe as if she were some treasured object, "Come, Teacher Xiao Lin, let me introduce you."

Saying that, he pointed to several people and introduced them to Lin Nianhe:

"This is Principal Zhang from Lan County High School, this is Principal Wang from Lan County Middle School, this is Principal Li from Birch Team Primary School..."

Within three minutes, Lin Nianhe had met all the principals from the Lan County Commune.

After greeting each of them, she turned her head and whispered to Feng Yuanshan, "Uncle Feng, where’s Principal Wu?"

The other school principals were all gathered here, so why was their Principal Wu missing?

What’s the deal?

Office politics?

Feng Yuanshan, oblivious to the reformist zeal brewing in Lin Nianhe’s eyes, said with a smile, "We’re all here to visit Ten Miles Team and learn from them. Xiao Wu isn’t feeling well, so we didn’t trouble her to make the trip."

Lin Nianhe: "...?"

A whole bunch of principals running off to their newly established two-month-old Village School to learn?

Learn what?

A manual for nurturing hidden dragons and young phoenixes?

The correct way to swing a shovel?

How to dodge every single ping-pong ball flying at you?

Just as Lin Nianhe’s questions began to surface, Principal Li from Birch Team Primary School stepped forward excitedly and said to her, "Teacher Xiao Lin, we’ve all heard about how you helped Ten Miles Village School incubate chicken eggs. That’s a really good direction for development."

"Yes, such labor not only contributes to the national construction, but it also constantly reminds students that labor is the most honorable!"

"Our high school plans to start with hatching chicks, too, allowing students to engage in more labor activities after class!"

"Not just raising chickens, I think we can also involve urban students in farming on rest days, including spring planting and autumn harvesting..."

Lin Nianhe: "..."

If she ever ends up being nabbed in a sack in Lan County, it will definitely be thanks to these folks here.

She would be despised by the entire student body, wouldn’t she?

From that point on, a saying would circulate among the students of Lan County: you’re not a student of Lan County if you haven’t beaten up Lin Nianhe...

Feng Yuanshan, still not sensing Lin Nianhe’s unease, said, "Let’s go, we are off to Ten Miles Team."

He looked at Lin Nianhe and said, "Teacher Xiao Lin, you don’t have anything else to do, right? Let’s go together; on the way, you can share some of your experience with us."

Lin Nianhe glanced at the police station nearby, and then at Feng Yuanshan’s thin face.

She wondered where Feng Yuanshan kept finding all these aggravating things to do, as he had another cold sore on his lip.

With a heavy heart, Lin Nianhe nodded, "Okay, then let’s go back together."

She wouldn’t get to see the face she liked.

She decided to add two extra dishes for dinner, to pamper herself a bit.

"Teacher Xiao Lin, how did you come up with this method of raising chickens?"

"Because I can’t afford to buy chicks."

"Teacher Xiao Lin, I heard that almost all of the chicks in your big team were hatched successfully? I asked at the farm, and such a result is quite rare, how did you manage to do it?"

"Uh, for that, you’d have to ask Uncle Guan from our team, he’s in charge of hatching the chicks, the specifics are beyond me."

"But you were the one who selected the eggs, right?"

"That’s... indeed true."

"So how did you select them?"

Nianhe looked into those burning gazes, paused for a moment, and said:

"This is rather complicated, and I’m not a professional. I’ll just briefly mention a couple of points for everyone to grasp the general idea. In detail, you see, it’s not something that can be explained in a sentence or two, as it involves many intricate issues. I just want to say those who understand, understand, and the professionals should have more say on this. I’ll not elaborate further here."

Everyone: "..."

It seemed like they heard a long, long speech.

But it also seemed like they heard nothing at all.

Feng Yuanshan’s brain went blank for a while before he asked her, "Teacher Xiao Lin, could you please help everyone select some eggs?"

He no longer cared about how the eggs came to be; he just wanted to know if they could have the same kind of eggs.

Nianhe: "Oh, sure."

As long as she wasn’t asked to explain how she picked them.

The principals, equally befuddled, collectively sighed in relief.

They had started to doubt the competence of their own ears.

Now, knowing that they too might acquire chicks using a cost-effective method, they were no longer concerned about their ears.

On the journey that followed, the principals unanimously chose not to ask Nianhe any questions.

Simply to protect their ears.

As they were about to reach Ten Miles Team, Nianhe spotted Principal Wu and Li Dahe waiting at the village entrance.

"Principal Wu, Captain Li."

"Hello there."

"Sorry to trouble you..."

During a flurry of greetings, Nianhe stood at the back of the crowd and signaled to Principal Wu and Li Dahe that she wanted to slip away.

Principal Wu imperceptibly nodded at her, while Li Dahe made a sidelong gesture telling her to hurry off.

Nianhe didn’t know what they were conspiring, but she obediently pushed her bicycle and slipped away around the edge of the crowd.

When Feng Yuanshan remembered Nianhe, he looked around for a while, only to find that she was gone.

"Hey, where did Teacher Xiao Lin go? We still need her help to pick eggs!" Principal Li rubbed his hands anxiously.

Principal Wu feigned surprise, "Select eggs? With so many experts at the farm, you’re asking her to do it?"

"Sigh, the comrades at the farm have their own work, and after all, our business isn’t really related to them; it’s ultimately for subsidizing our students..."

With lips twitching into an insincere smile, Li Dahe said, "But you can’t expect Miss Lin to handle it all by herself. There are so many schools around, and that would mean selecting five or six hundred eggs? The village is full of chicken owners; I refuse to believe we can’t find someone in the entire commune who knows how to hatch chicks."

Principal Wu chimed in, "Old Feng, Nianhe’s health isn’t good; she hasn’t been down here for half a year and has already been hospitalized three times."

"Miss Lin is our team’s educated youth; I must take responsibility for her health."

"Nianhe really can’t handle this much. Let’s think of another solution."

Feng Yuanshan cleared his throat, reminding them, "She just agreed to it a moment ago."

Li Dahe: "..."

Principal Wu: "..."
