Transmigration: Flirted with My Childhood Sweetheart
Chapter 300 - 299: One Dares to Teach, One Dares to Learn

Chapter 300: Chapter 299: One Dares to Teach, One Dares to Learn

Li Dahe’s teeth grinding incessantly, the blue veins on his forehead pulsating, and his feet began to uncontrollably dig the ground.

Lin Nianhe whispered timidly, "What could a weak girl like me possibly do to her?"

Li Dahe: "...?"

Weak?

Is this the time to be brandishing a kitchen knife and fighting with someone?

He gritted his teeth over and over again, barely managing to restrain himself from kicking this little rascal all the way back to Beijing.

Panting heavily, Li Dahe grabbed a stool and sat down opposite Sun Yafei.

Sun Yafei still had a bun in her mouth, her head uncontrollably burying downward, wishing she could hide under the table.

Seeing her cowardly demeanor, Li Dahe could only scold Lin Nianhe, "She doesn’t understand the situation, and your brain’s broken too? Just eat your meal. Why filling the entire yard with the smell of meat as if you’re afraid others won’t know you’re slacking off and cooking on the sly?"

Lin Nianhe pitifully responded, "But the buns were the only ready-made food here..."

"What? You think you’re being reasonable? Should I not even speak?" Li Dahe glared.

Lin Nianhe quickly surrendered, grinning, "No, please speak, feel free."

If Uncle Team Leader can’t vent out his frustration, the poor old man won’t sleep well for three months.

She’s a kind-hearted good person; she should consider Uncle Team Leader’s health.

Li Dahe’s eyes widened again, seeing her grinning face made it really hard to scold her.

He sighed deeply and turned his head to Sun Yafei: "You eat first, we’ll talk after you’re done."

Sun Yafei shrank back, staring at him with the bun in her mouth, not daring to swallow.

Li Dahe furrowed his brows, "What are you looking at? Eat!"

Sun Yafei, as if receiving a command, immediately began devouring the bun.

Seeing Li Dahe’s attitude, Lin Nianhe felt reassured; she quickly passed the unfinished milk powder to Sun Yafei while patting her back, "Hey, slow down, don’t choke."

Sun Yafei panicked, took the cup and finished it in one gulp, not even tasting it.

"Uncle Team Leader, what are you doing, scaring her like that!" Lin Nianhe gestured continually at Li Dahe.

Li Dahe glanced at the east wall, frowning and whispered in rebuke, "With the smell you’ve created, if we don’t let her finish quickly, what if it attracts people?"

Lin Nianhe opened her mouth but had nothing to say.

Sun Yafei, having finished the bun in her hand, didn’t dare to take another. She wanted to grab a handkerchief to wipe her mouth, but seemed to remember something and quickly stuffed the handkerchief back into her pocket, not daring to wipe.

Lin Nianhe caught her small movement but didn’t speak.

Li Dahe didn’t care about these trivial matters and seeing her not eating anymore, instructed Lin Nianhe, "Go, clear the table."

Sun Yafei had only eaten two buns; Lin Nianhe carried the dishes back to the kitchen, took out a piece of oil paper, and wrapped up the remaining two buns.

Outside, Li Dahe had already begun to "have a heart-to-heart" with Sun Yafei.

"Girl, the commune told you, right? Right now the whole country is in a rush to harvest. There’s no one, no vehicle to send you to the farm, so just stay with us for now and learn how to work. Otherwise, you’ll suffer when you get there."

Li Dahe smacked his lips on a cigarette, his brow furrowed into a "川" character.

He exhaled a puff of white smoke, his voice somewhat hoarse, "Technically, you should be staying in the cowshed, but as a young girl, it’s not safe for you there. I will place some bedding in the cowshed. If someone comes, you stay there; when no one’s around, you come stay at my place in the evenings... If you let this slip, I can’t carry the burden for you. Our village has three hundred people, I can’t risk their lives for your sake."

"I’m not expecting you to help with anything. Learn whatever you can, so you suffer less at the farm."

Li Dahe spoke very slowly, finishing his speech as his pack of cigarettes ran out.

Lin Nianhe stood by the door, listening, feeling somewhat bitter.

No wonder she felt that Uncle Team Leader was being unusually cold just now, he must be feeling uneasy too.

She was just about to say something when she faintly heard footsteps again.

"What does going to your house mean? Where is your house exactly?"

Wang Hong’s voice arrived before she did.

She turned the corner of the east wall with Principal Wu and continued, "Just stay at my place, no need for all that pompous nonsense, just say I need to educate this girl’s thoughts."

Li Dahe’s frown deepened, "What are you meddling in? Sending her to your house, do you no longer care about your own little ones?"

Wang Hong, chin lifted high and righteous, retorted, "What’s wrong? I’m a martyr’s child, both my parents are war heroes, who dares to question my thoughts? Besides, isn’t this girl’s issue also a women’s issue? Isn’t it my business?"

"You, tiger of a woman!" Li Dahe pointed at Wang Hong with his pipe, his face red with anger, "How can you mix these matters?"

"I say it can, and it can," Wang Hong walked to Lin Nianhe, sniffed and asked her, "Stuffing meat buns?"

Lin Nianhe chuckled, "To replenish strength for the autumn harvest!"

She also sniffed, wondering in her heart, is there really such a strong smell? Why couldn’t she discern it.

Of course, she couldn’t smell it; how could someone who eats meat every day understand how sensitive someone is to the scent of meat who hasn’t smelled it all year?

Unable to vent his anger elsewhere, Li Dahe couldn’t help but retort, "That’s just fattening up for autumn!"

Lin Nianhe: "Go ahead, scold all you like. After all, I’m the easiest to bully and take the scolding here."

"What are you venting on Nianhe for?" Principal Wu was displeased, protectively saying, "Nianhe did well today, she even taught Sun Yafei how to use a sickle."

Li Dahe looked at her suspiciously: "You allowed that?"

Principal Wu nodded: "Yes."

Li Dahe: "What were you thinking?"

Principal Wu: "..."

He looked towards Lin Nianhe, "How did you dare to teach?"

Lin Nianhe: "..."

He then looked at Sun Yafei, "How did you dare to learn from her?"

Sun Yafei: "I, I... I was just following orders..."

Li Dahe seriously said, "Forget all that nonsense, tomorrow I’ll teach you."

Lin Nianhe: "..."

How to put it?

Just... really want to sneak some hair removal cream into the shampoo bottle for Uncle Team Leader.

No other intention, just want Uncle Team Leader to experience a taste of future technology.

This idea endlessly circulated in Lin Nianhe’s mind; thinking about that scene, she felt euphoric enough to do eighteen backflips.

Li Dahe: "What mischief are you holding back?"

Lin Nianhe was abruptly snapped out of her daydream, she cleared her throat and quickly changed the topic: "I was just thinking, she’s just a young girl, even if her father really did something wrong, how old is she? What could she possibly be involved in? Surely being sent down to the farm is too much?"

Silence fell upon those words.

After a long while, Principal Wu squatted down next to Sun Yafei, held her hand, and asked, "Tell me truthfully, what exactly happened to your family?"

Sun Yafei opened her mouth, but before words came out, her eyes reddened.

Impatient by nature, Wang Hong urged, "Speak, if you don’t tell us, how can we know if we can help you?"

Sun Yafei, shrinking back and wiping away tears, looked around at everyone in the courtyard, and finally couldn’t hold back her sobs.

"I, I... my dad actually did nothing... Yila just said my aunt..."

Sun Yafei narrated her experiences intermittently, tears streaming like broken pearls.

When she finally managed to finish, Li Dahe, Wang Hong, and Principal Wu looked bewilderedly at each other.

"What did she say?"

Following Wen Lan, it was the second time that the Ten Miles Team experienced a language barrier incident.
