Chapter 99 Touched



Gu Anyang's heart was pounding, he felt hot all over, he couldn't help licking his dry lips, his hands trembling slightly.

The two hands finally met, the big hand and the small hand, one broad and strong, the other slender and weak, forming a sharp contrast.

I touched it! Gu Anyang's heart was beating like a drum. The dry, warm big hand squeezed him unconsciously. The tender and delicate feeling in his hand made him feel numb. An electric current quickly spread throughout his body, making his whole body numb wherever it touched.

Chen Qiangwei held Gu Anyang's hand for a long time without letting go, and struggled slightly.

The strength of the struggle in his hands made Gu Anyang wake up instantly. He let go of his hands in a flash, and his ears quickly turned red. Fortunately, Chen Qiangwei was alert, otherwise the peach pastry would have fallen to the ground.

Chen Qiangwei: "Open your hands."

Gu Anyang's mind was no longer functioning. He just took Chen Qiangwei's words at face value and obediently opened his hands. Chen Qiangwei placed the peach cake in his hands and said, "Alright, go back to school."

After saying that, Chen Qiangwei turned and left.

Gu Anyang looked at the peach pastry lying in the palm of his hand. Even before he ate it, he felt that it was so crispy and delicious that it touched his heart.

He looked at the slender figure in front of him, his blood boiling. He put his hands to his mouth and made a trumpet shape. "Weiwei, I will work hard and let you live a good life in the future. Can you wait for me for half a year? Just half a year!"

Half a year was enough for him to gain a foothold in the cannery. He stared at the people in front of him, feeling both nervous and excited.

As he expected, the woman in front of him turned around, smiled brightly, waved at him, and opened and closed her mouth, but no sound came out.

Gu Anyang's heart was half warm and half cold. The warm part was that Weiwei did not reject him and even smiled; the cold part was that Weiwei did not make a sound and he could not guess what she was thinking.

Just like that, Gu Anyang held two pieces of peach cakes in his arms, pedaled his bicycle as fast as a truck, and sparks were coming out of the wheels.

Chen Qiangwei and five other people who were going to Shengli Primary School to study were busy packing their things. They agreed to set off at six o'clock the next morning, and the tractor would arrive in an hour and a half.

During this period, something else happened. The people at the educated youth site discovered that Zhao Zhonghua, who had given up the exam, was injured.

After asking, I found out that he had secretly dug a trap on the mountain and got up early that day to go up the mountain to see if there was any game in the trap.

Unexpectedly, someone had tampered with the trap mark, so he fell into the trap and injured his leg and hand.

Fortunately, he brought tools with him, and he used them to dig steps on the wall of the well. After great effort, he finally climbed up.

Because the treatment was delayed, the barefoot doctor said that it would take about half a year to recover. There is not much food left from the food distributed last year. It will be impossible to earn a living for half a year. It is said that there will not be enough food for this year or next year.

As for how to get by, he had to figure it out on his own, whether to use money to pay for work points or ask his family to send him food.

Jiang Feng consoled her with a few words, "You should take a good rest during this period. You don't have to do the work at the educated youth site. We'll take turns cooking. As for the geography work, I'll ask the team leader for leave for you."

Zhao Zhonghua's face was pale, his lips were pale, and he tried hard to smile: "Thank you, Team Leader. Sorry for the trouble."

Because they failed to become teachers, Jiang Feng and others were not in a good mood. They whispered a few words of comfort and then went about their own business.

During everyone's conversation, Zhao Zhonghua also learned the candidates for the elementary school teacher. Sure enough, Chen Qiangwei was the first choice, and Jia Zhenzhen was not selected.

He grimaced in pain, but didn't dare tell the truth to everyone, so he could only find a poor excuse. Fortunately, he had secretly dug a small trap in the mountain before, otherwise he would not have been able to find a good excuse for a while.

Jia Zhenzhen opened her mouth and said, "Comrade Zhao Zhonghua, you should have a good rest. I have two taels of brown sugar here. I'll bring it to you later to replenish your body."

Jia Zhenzhen knew that Zhao Zhonghua’s injury was definitely not caused by falling into a trap as he said.

Because Zhao Zhonghua asked her out and vowed to her that he would definitely help her become a teacher.

Considering that Chen Qiangwei was the last one to arrive this morning, and Zhao Zhonghua gave up the exam and had two limbs disabled, with her intelligence, she knew that Zhao Zhonghua's injury must be related to Chen Qiangwei.

But seeing Zhao Zhonghua's expression, Jia Zhenzhen chose to pretend she didn't know. Otherwise, the issue would be endless. Anyway, it wasn't her who asked him to do this.

As for the two taels of brown sugar, she made the decision after much deliberation in a few seconds. It was reasonable to give two taels of brown sugar to a fellow educated youth who had gone to the countryside. After all, everyone gave him a lot of things to supplement his nutrition. Giving him too much would easily arouse others' suspicion.

Zhao Zhonghua looked at Jia Zhenzhen with a flickering look in his eyes. For some reason, he thought of Chen Qiangwei's "dog licking" remarks, and the light in his eyes gradually dimmed.

Zhao Zhonghua's tone was a little distant: "Okay, thank you."

Jia Zhenzhen went back and brought the brown sugar and put it on the table. She hesitated for a moment and then left in a hurry.

At eight o'clock in the morning, Chen Qiangwei, Gu Linger and five others gathered at the brigade headquarters. Everyone brought a lot of things.

Shengli Primary School provided them with a place to live, and they could eat in the cafeteria if they paid money or provided food, but that was all; they had to provide all other daily necessities themselves.

At six o'clock, Gu Anxi sent people to Shengli Primary School on time, helped unload the luggage, and then left.

The Hope Primary School was still under construction. The commune had approved a sum of money, and combined with what the brigade had saved in recent years, they could build a red brick house by tightening their belts. He also had to go to the brick kiln to get bricks on the way.

It is now half past seven. Principal He is already waiting at the school gate. Next to him stands a middle-aged woman, who should be a female teacher of the school.

The school starts at 8 o'clock, and students have entered the school gate one after another. The children are either carrying a cloth bag or a cross-body bag, and their faces are filled with happy smiles.

Principal He said with a smile: "You are here, welcome to Shengli Primary School."

Chen Qiangwei and the others said respectfully, "Good morning, Principal He. Thank you for giving us this rare opportunity to study with you."

This was the unified statement they made on the way here, otherwise several people would have been arguing with each other and making a huge noise.

Principal He was even happier when he heard this, "This is Teacher Li from our school. Teacher Li is a senior teacher in our school.

She will be leading you during this period. If you have any questions, just go to Teacher Li. If you really can't solve the problem, then come to me."

Teacher Li, "Welcome everyone to our school for exchange and study. If you have any questions in the future, please feel free to come to me."

Chen Qiangwei and others also introduced themselves in turn.

Teacher Li saw that everyone was carrying large and small bags. "Everyone, follow me first. Let's put your luggage away first. I'll give everyone a day to settle in. Tomorrow we'll officially start our study."
