But when someone came looking for them, everyone knew who it was.
Lin Yifeng rolled up his sleeves slightly and stepped out the door, where he saw three figures at the gate.
A man, a woman, and a child were carrying a wooden basket and a carton of milk.
There was one person who left a particularly deep impression on Lin Yifeng: Mao Yang, the troublemaker from school last year.
They didn't even give Lin Yifeng a chance to say anything polite.
Mao Yang's father, along with a middle-aged woman, suddenly knelt down at the doorway, and Mao Yang was also pushed down at the door.
Seeing this, Lin Yifeng hurriedly stepped forward to help the three of them up.
"No, no, no! This won't do!"
"It's the Lunar New Year, and you're doing this? Aren't you trying to shorten my lifespan?"
Mao's father scratched his head awkwardly without saying a word.
But Mao Yang's mother, standing nearby, hurriedly spoke up.
"Principal Kobayashi, I'm so sorry."
“I just got back yesterday and I know about Mao Yang’s situation at school.”
"I'm so sorry."
The various humble tones made Lin Yifeng somewhat uncomfortable.
However, looking back at Mao Yang, the little devil in school back then, he has now shed that youthful arrogance.
Under the tutelage of Bai Yejin and the others, he actually began to resemble a scholarly young man.
"Maoyang, how were your exam results?"
Lin Yifeng smiled and asked about the sample.
Mao raised his head slightly, replying with great pride.
We're second in our grade!
"Even Teacher Xiaobai praised me for my hard work!"
These words made Lin Yifeng very gratified.
This time, Mao Yang's family had nothing else to do but visit and offer their greetings, and apologize for what happened last year.
His family situation is different; Mao Yang's mother is still in charge.
When Mao Yang's mother returned home from work and heard what had happened, she was furious. The next day, she brought her family to apologize.
Faced with a basket of eggs and a carton of milk, Lin Yifeng repeatedly declined.
For the people of Stone Village, this box of milk costs a lot of money.
After a long back and forth, Lin Yifeng finally returned the milk.
"You should take this milk back. We can't drink it all. It's a good age for the child to grow taller, so take it back for him to supplement his nutrition."
After saying all this, Lin Yifeng lowered his voice and gave instructions to Xu Qingyi beside him.
"Qingyi, go to the back seat of my car, there's a set of books inside."
"Bring it to me."
Xu Qingyi took the car keys and ran back quickly, returning with a set of children's books based on the Four Great Classical Novels.
Lin Yifeng handed the book to Mao Yang's family, and also gave them some quiet instructions.
"I don't ask you for anything in return."
"The best reward for me is for this child to succeed."
"I will continue to support him after he leaves the mountains."
Upon hearing this, Mao Yang and his family expressed their gratitude repeatedly.
After seeing Mao Yang's family off, Lin Yifeng glanced at the sky and gave Xu Qingyi some more instructions.
"Qingyi, drive to Shuiyun Town first, go to those bookstores that are still open, and buy some books quickly."
“I have twenty sets left in the school warehouse. Bring them all back to me.”
"Let's prepare fifty sets first."
Xu Qingyi nodded, unloaded the books from the car, and drove away.
Lin Jinshui watched Lin Yifeng running back and forth without helping to tidy up the house, and asked him in confusion.
"Xiaofeng, what are you busy with again during the Chinese New Year?"
"Go and help your mother and Wanxia."
"What are you doing tinkering with these things?"
Lin Yifeng glanced at Lin Jinshui and could only sigh with a wry smile.
"Dad, I'm going to be very busy today."
"Have Mom and Wanxia tidy up the drying room first."
"I'm afraid I won't be able to let go."
Lin Jinshui looked puzzled, completely unaware of what his boss was planning to do.
Just as Lin Yifeng had predicted, the Mao family was only the beginning.
Since Mao Yang's family left, almost all the parents in Paishi Village have brought their children to visit them, and each family brings gifts and presents.
Giving gifts to teachers before or after the Lunar New Year is a perfectly normal thing, no matter the era.
Not to mention that there are many left-behind children in Paishitou Village, who are taken care of by the older generation in their families, while the younger generation has gone out to work.
After they've seen the world, they'll definitely come to express their gratitude when they learn that someone in Paishitou Village has sponsored the primary school.
If it weren't for Lin Yifeng, these parents might still be thinking about how much money they need to earn to get their children urban residency so they can actually go to school.
No parent doesn't hope that their child will become successful.
Lin Yifeng gave their child such an opportunity, which was an immense blessing to them.
People started arriving at the door that afternoon.
Some people brought eggs and milk, others brought pork legs and ribs, and still others brought two live chickens to his door, as if afraid Lin Yifeng wouldn't accept them.
Lin Yifeng greeted the group of parents at the entrance and gave the children the books he had prepared in advance.
The Lin family's courtyard has probably hosted quite a few people tonight.
Even until dinner time, people continued to come to the door to deliver gifts.
They were busy until it was completely dark before everyone sat down at the dining table inside and began to eat in a lively atmosphere.
After the meal, Lin Jinshui carried two bottles of good wine and leisurely walked towards the house of the Fourth Uncle in the back, preparing to go and have a good time. Feng Cuie was not idle either, insisting on taking her daughter to other people's houses to play mahjong and watch TV.
As for Lin Yifeng, he was already exhausted after a busy afternoon.
