Chapter 185: Can a girl of eighteen or nineteen years old do it?
The principal of the school is named Feng Wenshan, who is about fifty years old, a little nearsighted, and wears thick glass lenses. He is always neatly dressed and has a natural bookish air about him. You can tell at first glance that he is a scholar.
On the way back to school, Chu Yue had heard Chen Fengying tell gossip about Principal Feng. Principal Feng had attended a private school when he was young. In that era, students who could attend private schools had to come from very well-off families.
It was precisely because of this good family background that Principal Feng suffered a lot of humiliation in the turbulent times that followed, and his life was extremely difficult.
His family also moved from the city to the mountains, and they lived there for more than ten years.
Over the years, Principal Feng's family members died one after another, and he has never married and has been alone for all these years.
Later in recent years, the situation improved a little. The troops and military families came, and at Song Hongmei's strong request, a school was established. Principal Feng was invited to be the principal because he had attended a private school and had a certain literary foundation.
Since then, he has regarded this school as his home and the students in the school as his own children, and has put all his attention on educating the students.
When talking about Principal Feng, the sisters-in-law, including Chen Fengying, couldn't help but praise him, saying that he was a very dedicated and good principal.
Chen Fengying introduced Principal Feng to Chu Yue, and then immediately introduced Chu Yue, "Principal Feng, this is our Captain Lu's lover, and this is Captain Lu's child, Lu Yuanbao."
"Hello, Principal Feng." Chu Yue took the initiative to greet him.
Principal Feng pushed up the thick glasses on his nose, said hello to Chu Yue, then looked down at Lu Yuanbao and smiled.
"I've seen your information. Your name is Lu Yuanbao. Today is your first time at our school, and it's also your first day of school, right? Kids your age should study hard and work hard in the future, okay?"
Lu Yuanbao looked at the unfamiliar Principal Feng with a little nervousness and seriousness. He didn't say anything, but just nodded.
Principal Feng looked at him with great satisfaction and said to Chen Dazhuang, "Dazhuang, take the new students to the classroom and take good care of them."
"Okay, Principal Feng, let's go!"
Because of his poor academic performance, Chen Dazhuang hated talking to the principal and teachers the most, and he wanted to pull Lu Yuanbao away immediately.
But Lu Yuanbao didn't want to leave for the time being.
Chen Dazhuang was taller and stronger than Lu Yuanbao, but he failed to pull Lu Yuanbao. He tilted his head and scratched the back of his head in confusion.
Lu Yuanbao looked up at Chu Yue and said, "I'm going to school."
Chu Yue said, "Well, go ahead. I'll pick you up after school this afternoon."
After hearing this, Lu Yuanbao waved to Chu Yue, then took a step forward and followed Chen Dazhuang to the classroom. He could still hear Chen Dazhuang's confused voice.
"Yuanbao, are you that strong? Why couldn't I pull you just now..."
"Because I exercise every morning..."
The voices of the two children were getting farther and farther away. After Teacher Feng had a brief conversation with Chu Yue and Chen Fengying, he went to look at the other children who came to school.
"Chu sister, let's go back now." Chen Fengying called Chu Yue back together, but she saw Chu Yue staring at the classroom not far away, her eyes motionless. "What's wrong? It's Yuanbao's first day of school, and you're still worried?"
"no."
Chu Yue shook her head, but couldn't explain why she was not looking at Lu Yuanbao's classroom, but at Principal Feng who was not far away.
Principal Feng is polite and courteous, and is kind and friendly to the children. He is a good principal in everyone's eyes, but Chu Yue always feels that something is wrong.
I can’t really put it into words, it’s more like a sixth sense.
Perhaps she was too wary and suddenly handed Lu Yuanbao over to someone she didn't know, and she couldn't let it go.
Or maybe it was because she had been living with Lu Yuanbao day and night recently, and now that there was suddenly no one around her, she felt a little uncomfortable.
Chu Yue withdrew her thoughts and looked at Chen Fengying, "Sister-in-law Chen, let's go back."
Chen Fengying thought Chu Yue was still worried about the child, so she continued to persuade her, "Sister Chu, don't worry. Your Yuanbao is very smart and will be fine. Remember when my Dazhuang cried all day on his first day of school? You didn't see it, it was so funny and amusing. Unlike your Yuanbao, who is so sensible and doesn't cry or make a fuss. If you are really worried, we can come and pick him up early after school today."
Chu Yue responded, "Okay, let's come early this afternoon. I just promised Yuanbao that I would pick him up from school."
Unfortunately, Chu Yue’s promise was not fulfilled that day, because as soon as Chu Yue returned to the compound gate from school, she was stopped by Song Hongmei.
After meeting Chu Yue, Song Hongmei spoke to her alone and briefly explained the situation of the medical team.
She was a smart person and did not mention that the reason for this situation was He Meijiao's sudden departure. She only said that there was a shortage of medical staff in the army and she really couldn't make any arrangements.
"...Sister Chu, this is my personal request, not an order from the organization. If you don't want to, you can just refuse. Don't feel embarrassed." Song Hongmei said very tactfully.
But before she could finish, Chu Yue said bluntly.
"Sister Song, don't make it difficult. I'm willing."
Just visiting a few nearby villages and treating some elderly people and children was an easy task for Chu Yue, quite simple.
Song Hongmei didn't expect Chu Yue to agree so readily. She was very surprised. "Sister Chu, are you agreeing?"
"Well, that's a good thing. Since I'm here, I should make a contribution."
When Song Hongmei heard Chu Yue's words, her eyes lit up. The material conditions have improved in recent years, but the people's spirit of dedication has declined. She didn't expect Chu Yue to agree so readily, and she didn't expect Chu Yue to say such words.
It hit the nail on the head!
Now that she looked at Chu Yue, she liked her more and more. This girl could be trained well!
Although Chu Yue agreed, she also had a small request, "Sister Song, can we come back in the afternoon? I promised Yuanbao that I would pick him up after school."
"Yes! Definitely! This is your first mission, and we won't be going too far. We can definitely make it back and forth on the same day."
Chu Yue responded, "Okay."
The matter was settled. Song Hongmei took Chu Yue to meet the other two male comrades who were traveling with her, Li Weiguo and Xue Zhanlin. Both of them were cadres in the township and had worked with Song Hongmei for many years.
After listening to Song Hongmei's introduction and looking at Chu Yue's young face, the two men asked contemptuously.
"Sister Song, is this the candidate you're talking about? She's just an eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl. Is she any good enough?"
