Chapter 39: Professor Liang of the Cowshed



"Xiaoxue, why doesn't your brother eat with everyone? Does he like eating at home so much? He has to ask you to go up the mountain to deliver meals." Jiang Suisui asked curiously on the way.

Song Yuxue shook her head: "No, I heard from my mother that when the village still had communal meals, my brother was always bullied, so people deliberately gave him less rice, and some even mixed ash into his rice. So my brother never ate communal meals again."

"Ah? So excessive?!" Jiang Suunshun was stunned. Song Weizheng had been quite miserable before. "No wonder..."

"My brother said it was okay and he beat back those who teased him. Um..." Song Yuxue suddenly covered her mouth while speaking.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Suisui asked.

Song Yuxue blinked her eyes and said angrily, "My brother told me not to talk about his previous fights with others..."

"Pfft...your brother is quite concerned about his reputation." Jiang Suishun laughed.

Song Yuxue shook her head: "My brother said fighting is not nice."

Jiang Suisui rubbed her little head and said, "It's not nice to fight for no reason, but it's not wrong to fight back when you're bullied. It's actually cool."

Song Yuxue didn't understand: "Cool...what does that mean?"

"Hmm..." Jiang Suishun pondered, "Being cool is about being strong inside, not caring about other people's opinions, and sticking to your own principles and standards. Oh, you're still young and don't understand, but I think your brother is pretty cool."

Song Yuxue nodded, not quite understanding, then raised her eyebrows and smiled, "I know, anyway, Sister Sunshun is praising brother."

"Sister Sunshun..." She held Jiang Sunshun's hand, shaking it gently as she walked, "When are you and brother going to get married?"

Jiang Suunsun choked up: "...Little girl, why do you care about this?"

Song Yuxue's big eyes were full of as if it was a matter of course: "Of course I care. When you and brother get married, we can live together. I can also call you sister-in-law, and we will be a family."

"Oh," Jiang Suisui couldn't help but pinch her cheek, "Now is not the time for you to dislike me before?"

Song Yuxue covered her face and said weakly: "I didn't..."

"Sister Sunsun..." Song Yuxue's voice was slightly coquettish. This was a treatment only family members could enjoy. "You should marry my brother soon, so that we can play together every day in the future."

Jiang Sui Sui didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You asked me to marry your brother just because you wanted me to play with you every day?"

"No, sister Suishun, it's my brother who also wants to marry you soon." Song Yuxue said sincerely, blinking her eyes.

Jiang Suisui pinched her nose and said lovingly, "You're getting more and more naughty. Does your brother know that you're talking nonsense behind your back?"

"Let's go, let's go home!" After saying that, Jiang Suinsui took Song Yuxue and walked towards home without continuing the topic.

Song Yuxue couldn't help but silently worry, why didn't Sister Sunsun believe it? Her brother really wanted to marry Sister Sunsun as soon as possible, and she saw her brother preparing the betrothal gifts.

Song Yuxue frowned and sighed in her heart. Forget it, let her brother take care of the matter of finding a wife himself.

The ordinary and fulfilling life always passes quickly, and winter has come to Dayan Village unknowingly.

Jiang Suinsui sat curled up in a sock in the drafty blind-scanning classroom, listening to the class listlessly.

Why is it so cold in winter here?!

Jiang Suinsui was nearly frozen to the point of collapse. Although this wasn't a very northern region, she felt like the cold winter wind could freeze her into an ice stick. In the morning, she even saw that the ground with water on it was slightly frozen!

It’s not even deep winter yet, but Jiang Suinsui feels like she won’t be able to leave the house in a while, it’s too cold…

She was frozen into a ball here, while Song Weizheng, who was standing next to her, was wearing thin clothes but looked calm, as if the temperature change did not affect him at all.

Jiang Suinsui couldn't help but stretched out a finger from her sleeve and poked him: "Hey, aren't you cold?"

Song Wei Zheng turned his head and saw that half of her face was buried in her blouse, with only the upper half of her face exposed. Her skin was snow-white, and her eyes looked black and bright.

He said calmly: "It's not cold."

Jiang Suinsui retracted her fingers and raised a thumb: "You are awesome!" The young man was angry and envious.

Fortunately, she wasn't the only one feeling cold.

"Well, Mr. Wang!" A villager suddenly raised his voice to Wang Xiaoyan who was giving a lecture, "How long will this literacy campaign take? It's cold now, and we can't stand sitting here for half a day!"

"That's right, I don't even dare to bring my baby here, for fear that he will freeze. But I'm also worried if I don't take care of him, so I can only let the two older ones at home look after him."

"It would be better if I could work in the fields. At least it would keep me warm!"

"Yes, Mr. Wang, the New Year is coming soon. You can't ask us to come here to clear the blindness during the New Year, right?"

"I have to work on the Stone Mountain during the day, and I sweat all over. After work, I come here to cool off. I almost fell ill the past two days."

The atmosphere in the room became lively and exciting.

Wang Xiaoyan quickly raised her hand to calm them down, saying, "Don't worry, everyone. I've asked about this, and the village has made arrangements. This week is the last week, and after these two days, we'll have a holiday. We'll make arrangements for the rest in the spring of next year."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was cheering from the audience.

Jiang Suishun also breathed a sigh of relief. It wasn’t that she didn’t like studying, she was just too cold to sit still.

It gets dark early in winter and classes end early. As soon as the class ends, Jiang Suinsui stands up quickly and prepares to rush home.

After taking two steps, she stopped again, turned around and looked at Song Weizheng in confusion, "Why don't you leave? It's over."

Song Weizheng was still sitting there leisurely, and said slowly: "Something happened, you should go back first."

"Hmm?" Jiang Suinsui narrowed her eyes, a little curious.

She ran back and sat down again: "What's the matter here? Do you have any questions after class?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she rejected it: "That's not right...the teachers are gone."

Jiang Suisui looked up and saw that this blindness-eliminating class had no other advantages except that both the teachers and students were very active after class.

It's been less than a minute since the show ended and they're almost all gone.

At this time, Song Weizheng stood up and wanted to leave. Jiang Suisui hurriedly followed him. After following for a while, she realized that the direction was wrong, so she chirped beside him: "No, this is not the direction to go back. Why are you going further and further away?"

"Tsk..." Song Wei Zheng suddenly let out a soft tsk, and Jiang Suinshun subconsciously fell silent.

He said softly, "If you want to follow me, do it quietly and don't talk."

OK! Jiang Suishun closed his mouth and made an OK gesture.

She followed Song Wei Zheng around the blind scanning class and walked to the back. After walking a short distance, across a small field, they came to a dilapidated house that was about to collapse.

"This is..." Jiang Suisui couldn't help but speak. She moved closer to Song Weizheng and whispered, "Where is this? I've never been here before."

Is there such a shabby house in the village? It looks like no one lives there. What is Song Weizheng doing here?

"The cowshed." Song Wei Zheng replied indifferently, then he jumped lightly from the ridge of the field and went down into the field, apparently preparing to cross the field.

“?!” Jiang Suinsui had no time to be surprised and could only follow him.

She stepped on the dry grass that grew in winter, with a lot of questions in her mind.

The cowshed, is it the legendary place where people who were forcibly sent down to the countryside were placed for re-education?

She followed Song Wei Zheng quietly across the fields and came to the door of the cowshed. She saw Song Wei Zheng walked forward, gently knocked on the broken door frame, then lifted the tattered curtain that barely covered the door, and walked in. Jiang Suisui hurriedly followed.

After entering the house, Jiang Suinsui was surprised again. She thought no one lived here. After all, it was quiet and dark inside and outside, without any sound. Who knew that in the straw pile in the corner of the house, there was a skinny and haggard middle-aged man lying. Perhaps it would be more accurate to call him an old man. His face was full of wrinkles and vicissitudes caused by suffering.

Song Wei Zheng squatted down and looked at him. Jiang Suishun leaned over and looked around, only to see that the man had his eyes closed and was silent.

No... No already...

Jiang Suunsui poked Song Weizheng on the back, feeling a little panicked.

"What are you looking at? I'm not dead yet."

At this moment, a sound suddenly came from the straw pile, which suddenly rang out in this quiet house, scaring Jiang Suishun so much that she almost screamed.

She remembered Song Wei Zheng's instructions, covered her mouth, looked at the man on the straw pile in surprise, opened her eyes, and spoke with a helpless smile.

Song Weizheng said calmly: "It's OK as long as you're not dead."

"Hey..." The man sat up and sighed, "Boy, do you have any conscience? You haven't come to see me for such a long time, and now you come just to see if I'm dead or not?"

Song Wei Zheng: "I've been busy lately and can't come. It's getting cold, be careful and don't freeze to death."

"Hmph!" the man snorted unhappily, "Don't worry, you won't die now. Maybe you can survive this winter and live another year."

Although the words were impolite, Jiang Suishun could hear the familiarity between them and became more curious.

At this time, the man also noticed Jiang Suisui behind Song Weizheng. He teased, "I haven't seen you for a while. You have grown up and have a girl by your side. Is this your partner?"

Song Weizheng did not deny it, but said calmly: "Don't worry, she won't say anything."

"Um..." Jiang Suisui asked cautiously, "Can I ask you a question? What's going on?"

The man seemed to smile and said, "Little girl, you have come here and you still don't know what's going on. Did he trick you into coming here? Then you better be careful. I'm a bad guy. Don't get close to me."

"Professor Liang, stop scaring people." Song Weizheng said calmly, "She won't be afraid."

After all, Jiang Sui Sui was the girl who dared to pursue him and was very calm even though she knew he was a businessman. She would probably just treat him as a novelty.

That’s true. Jiang Suisui really thinks it’s quite fresh.

Jiang Sui Sui: "Professor Liang? Are you a professor at the university?"

Professor Liang, whose full name is Liang Wenhe, sighed, "Professors in universities, that's all in the past..."
