Chapter 169 Commendation
Wen Wan watched him write down the formula, and found no problem, so she lowered her head and continued to work on her own things.
It’s Friday, and a week has passed in the blink of an eye. It went by so fast.
She has a midterm exam next week and hasn’t started preparing for it yet, so she’ll be a bit busy these next few days.
She thought about Lu Donglin’s textbook and decided to forget it. Out of sight, out of mind.
According to her requirements, Lu Donglin had many minor flaws, and there were too many things that needed to be corrected. If she had to point out every one of them, she would either be angry to death or become his enemy.
She didn't say anything, which made Lu Donglin feel a little uneasy. He didn't dare to nag her anymore, but he was still multitasking, writing while looking at her.
Wen Wan didn't even look up, but she was silently questioning herself. Why did he keep peeking at her? Was it because she didn't scold him? Was she really so strict with him before? Did he get so restless just because she didn't say anything? But it didn't seem to have much effect.
In the yard, there was no other sound except the clucking of two chickens and the grunting of pigs in the pen.
When it's quiet, Wenwan's efficiency improves a lot.
When Lu Donglin came back, she had already finished correcting her homework. Lu Donglin took a scoop and ran to the gutter behind to bring out a scoop of chestnut buns.
I peeled a lot of them a few days ago. This is what I made later. It’s almost time for them to be stored, and all the prickly ash has burst.
Wen Wan took a small stool and helped on the side. Lu Dongping and his two siblings were picking chestnuts, and Wen Wan took a kitchen knife and cut the peeled chestnuts.
Lu Donglin worked in a hurry, and his mouth was sucking because of the prick.
However, once cooked, the chestnut shells burst open and the chestnuts inside are very sweet.
After dinner, Wen Wan did not stroll around as usual. She went back to her room and sat at the desk in the light of the kerosene lamp, marking on the textbook with a pencil.
Lu Dongping came in after finishing his work outside and saw her still sitting there and asked, "Are you still busy?"
Wen Wan raised the book in her hand and said, "I'm done with my work, so I just want to take a look. The midterm exam is next week, and I haven't prepared the exam questions yet." She had already marked the key points in the book, and she needed to screen them again and make some adjustments to some of them.
Lu Dongping took the book from her hand, closed it, and put it aside: "Then we can do it tomorrow. Tomorrow is Saturday, and we have a free afternoon. It's not a big deal now. The kerosene lamp hurts your eyes."
As he spoke, he pulled her up and pushed her out: "Don't you always take a walk outside after dinner? If you don't walk today, won't you be worried about indigestion at night?"
Wen Wan let him hold her waist with both hands and push her out. She didn't exert any strength and leaned limply against him. "I don't know what's going on these past few days, but I always feel like the teachers in our school are weird."
Lu Dongping hugged her and walked to the small path outside the yard. It was dark and there was no one around, so he simply put his hands under her arms and hugged her: "What's so weird?"
Wen Wan thought for a moment and said, "Well, I can't really explain it. I just felt that the look in her eyes was very strange. A few days ago, Teacher Wang Hongmei, the second-grade teacher, asked me how my family treated me."
Lu Dongping frowned slightly, then chuckled softly: "Maybe I love my wife too much. The whole Xihe Brigade has heard about it. Are they jealous?"
Wen Wan laughed, turned around and pinched him lightly: "You are so shameless, why don't you say that it's because no one in the entire Xihe Brigade is as lucky as you, marrying such a good wife like me."
"Yes, my wife is right."
As he said that, he grabbed the back of her head and kissed her.
Wen Wan pushed him away, whimpering and mumbling, "Lu Dongping, I haven't brushed my teeth yet. I just finished eating, and you haven't brushed your teeth either—" She didn't know if everyone in the family was asleep. If they came out, even if she couldn't see clearly, she would at least be able to see their shadow. It would be so embarrassing if they caught them.
Lu Dongping pressed the man onto the millstone: "It's okay, I'll help you brush it now."
After the commotion, what Wen Wan had said before was left unresolved.
Lu Dongping knew that Zhang Yun's gossip had definitely escalated. There were several people on the tractor that day, including a woman from Wang Jialiang's family. She'd heard Zhang Yun say they'd lived together before they got married, and she knew she had to spread the word. After all, when you're full and have nothing better to do, you'll always want to chew on something, one thing or another.
Finally, he carried the limp person he had kissed into the house in the dark. Now, he was so angry that he even forgot to wash up. He just pressed on her, and his hands fanned the flames, kneading the person under him like a dough.
After enough nonsense, Lu Dongping finally touched the flashlight on the bedside. His breathing was still a little heavy. He kissed Wen Wan on the lips: "Don't move yet. There is no cold water in the room. I'll go out and get some."
Even without him saying anything, Wen Wan couldn't move at this moment. Her stomach was sticky and she didn't know where to rub against if she moved.
Lu Dongping added water as quickly as possible...
He said, "Be good, let me take a good look."
Just look at this new round of ups and downs.
The intermittent coaxing and the soft and graceful cries made the shy moon hide in the clouds.
They have been married for two months, and Lu Dongping is very enthusiastic about this matter and never gets tired of it. Wen Wan doesn't know where he gets so much energy from. She doesn't know when she fell asleep at night, and when she opens her eyes in the morning, there is no one around her. She doesn't know when she woke up.
It was so tiring that Wen Wan had a hard time getting up in the morning. She dawdled for a long time before going out. Not only did she yawn while walking, but she couldn't help pinching her waist. She felt so sore that it was difficult for her to stand up and walk. Her legs were also uncomfortable and painful.
Fortunately, there was only one Saturday morning. After class, she was notified that the midterm exam would be the following Friday, assigned homework, and cleaned the office. Wen Wan was about to leave. Just as she finished packing her things, Wang Xiannian called her, "Teacher Wen, don't leave yet. Come with me to the commune. We have a meeting."
Wenwan:——
She really had to attend this meeting. The total score of the second-grade final exam of the second semester of the second grade of her class ranked first among the second grades of all the primary schools in the brigades under Ganling Commune. The average score was the first, and the highest score was also in her class. So this was a teaching exchange meeting and she should be commended at the same time.
After sitting in the commune for more than an hour and exchanging pleasantries with several teachers, Wen Wan did not go with Wang Xiannian. Instead, she ran excitedly into the commune holding her prize.
A new enamel pot with a red star and the words "Serve the People" written on it, and a Hero brand fountain pen.
She had enough jars and pens, but this first honor after going to the countryside made her so happy that she almost flew away.
She couldn't wait to share it with Lu Dongping, and the person she most wanted to give the gift to was Lu Dongping.
Lu Dongping was standing very straight in the office, accepting criticism and education because he was late again today, the second time this month. Lin Chenghai was furious when he saw him: "Third time, there's no such thing as a third time. I'm telling you, you better behave yourself. If everyone follows your example, how can I still be the minister? Can I still do my job? We've been married for two months, and you still don't care enough and are still late. Can you be a little more promising? Isn't it shameful?"
If it were anyone else, Lin Chenghai would have told him to pack up and leave. But Lu Dongping was different. Not only were his elders revolutionary martyrs, they were already enjoying special privileges. Even Lu Dongping, though seemingly carefree, was actually quite capable and reliable. He had even helped the county police arrest people before, and his skills were truly rare in the local area.
But that's just the way he is, he's a seasoned crafty person. He doesn't make big mistakes, but he makes small ones all the time, and he always has to do something.
Lu Dongping's attitude of admitting his mistake was very good. He was honestly scolded by Lin Chenghai and then asked to write a self-criticism.
Wen Wan didn't know that he was being scolded. She peeked in at the door of the Armed Forces Office and saw Lin Chenghai and Lu Dongping standing opposite each other and talking, so she didn't disturb them and planned to wait outside.
Someone outside saw her and secretly winked at Lu Dongping, but unfortunately Lu Dongping was being scolded at the moment and didn't dare to glance around, so he didn't notice at all.
After Lin Chenghai finished scolding him, Lu Dongping came out. As soon as he walked out of the door, he saw the little girl holding a teacup and looking at him with a smile.
His heart skipped a beat and he felt that the game was over. He had brought shame upon himself.
After calming himself down, he put on a smile and called out to Wen Wan, "Why are you at the commune?"
"Principal Wang and I are here for a meeting, and we stopped by to see you." Lu Dongping led her to the sycamore tree at the edge of the yard. He looked at her and raised the enamel pot in his hand. "I was praised. This is my prize, along with a pen. I wanted to show it to you and then give it to you."
Lu Dongping raised his eyebrows and grinned happily. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, he reached out and gently pulled her braid: "An Bao is amazing!"
What a mess! My wife was praised, but I was criticized, and I even had to write a self-criticism and make a guarantee. Damn it.
Wen Wan hurriedly took two steps back: "Ah, we're outside, don't make a move. Do you have a water jar over here? If not, just leave this here."
Lu Dongping nodded: "Okay, leave the jar here." It was his wife's prize, and he felt happy just thinking about it.
After a few words, Wen Wan didn't stay any longer. She didn't have classes in the afternoon, but Lu Dongping had other things to do and couldn't keep chatting with him.
I got home in a very good mood and held the pen in my hand for a long time.
Write a letter, write a letter to Lao Wen.
Although she has won many awards since she was a child, this is the first award she has received after going to the countryside as an adult. This is a recognition of her work, and she feels she must report it to Comrade Lao Wen.
After writing the letter and putting it in the drawer along with the pen, she continued to look through the textbook, deleting and cutting, and it took her several days to decide on the questions for the exam.
On Friday, the students handed in their math and Chinese textbooks. She wrote on the blackboard and everyone copied below. The exams for both subjects were finished in the afternoon.
Because of the exams, the school had a rare long weekend off and there were no classes on Saturday.
During dinner, Zhang Hongying told Lu Mingjiang about the pigs. "I asked my sister-in-law today, and she said we'll hand in the pigs in the next few days, once all the grain has been paid and stored, before we plant the wheat. The larger pig in our pen should be big enough, right?"
