Bai Lian'er has been very low-key since she returned to the village. She usually works on the compost pile or in the pig pen.

During this period, the pigsty was surrounded one after another, so at least there would be no drafts at night.

It is summer now, and the temperature will not be too cold. When winter comes, ordinary people will not be able to bear heavy snowfall.

There is no fire kang here in the pig pen, so we can only rely on righteousness.

After a period of self-cultivation, Zhang Jianguo's health has improved a lot and his hands can move freely.

He can usually push his wheelchair out. Since he has just arrived here, there is no one to chat with him. He usually just strolls around in the village pushing his wheelchair.

On the way, I met some obedient children who would come over to help push them a certain distance.

Everyone knows that there is an uncle in Gu Qianshan's family who has a broken leg. He used to be a very powerful soldier. The children in the village all admire Zhang Jianguo.

It's just that he doesn't come out usually and just stays at home to take care of himself, so everyone has only heard about it and never seen it.

Zhang Jianguo pushed his wheelchair under the big tree by himself. He felt a little tired, so he sat there to rest.

Several children came one after another. The children were playing on the side and were a little curious when they saw him as a stranger.

"Grandpa, I heard others say that you are a soldier, so are you particularly powerful?"

Holding an egg in his hand, he looked at Zhang Jianguo curiously.

"That's for sure. Grandpa was very powerful in the past. He could block a dozen people by himself. Unfortunately, now that Grandpa is older, he is not as powerful as before."

The little girl looked at him with admiration and babbled a lot in front of him, all of which were children's words.

The other children saw Zhang Jianguo talking easily and came over immediately.

Children don't care much about faces, but as long as they talk well, they can become good friends.

In just half a day, Zhang Jianguo got along very well with these children.

When Gu Xue came over to ask him to eat, she saw Zhang Jianguo surrounded by a group of people, and he was sitting in the middle telling stories about his time as a soldier.

When Zhang Jianguo told stories, he was very contagious and very excited. The children felt as if they were immersed in the story.

The child who was the first to notice Gu Xue stood up immediately.

"Hello, Teacher Gu Xue!"

Others also said hello. Zhang Jianguo looked at his grandnephew in confusion, why did they all call her teacher.

"Why are you playing here? Is it a day off today?"

The child's voice was crisp and sounded particularly innocent.

"Yes, we have had many zakats, and now we have two days off."

Gu Xue nodded and asked them what they had learned recently, and found that everyone had learned quite well.

If primary schools have just been established now, there is no concept of examinations.

Gu Xue thought that she was also a vice principal, so it was time to add some exams to make the children happy.

As for whether they were happy or not, Gu Xue didn't know.

Gu Xue pushed Zhang Jianguo back to his hometown. Zhang Jianguo was visibly happy along the way. "Uncle Zhang, you look very happy. Chatting with those children is so interesting."

Zhang Jianguo smiled: "That's not true, girl Axue, you don't know, no one has talked to me in these years, and they think I am too dirty. I also know that the smell on my body at that time was... Don’t want to smell it.”

Over the years, Zhang Jianguo has been lying in the bullpen. When his hands were still good, he could occasionally bring a bucket of water to wipe them with difficulty, but he was not that clean.

As time passed, naturally no one wanted to get close to him, and no one wanted to talk to him.

I have been holding it in my heart for these years, and there is something wrong with it.

But since he came to this village, Gu Qianshan was not busy at all. After feeding the pigs in the morning, he had nothing to do in the afternoon.

Just take him for a walk in the yard. After his health improves, he can push the wheelchair out by himself.

The children in the village are very polite. The main reason is that the children in primary school are well taught and they are very well-behaved when talking.

Everyone likes such a well-behaved child, let alone Zhang Jianguo, who has not had anyone to talk to for many years.

Zhang Jianguo rambled on about those children in the village?

Erya is very well-behaved and beautiful, and talks sweetly. Shitou looks a bit skinny, but he is also a very good child. When he sees him, he might even pour water for him from home...

In just one morning, Zhang Jianguo memorized all these children.

Zhang Jianguo was sitting in a wheelchair. He felt that he had said a lot, and he said a little embarrassedly: "Axue girl, did I say too much."

Gu Xue shook her head and said, "How could that be? Uncle Zhang, you are a very good person, and you can start over here. When you recover, I will take you to the school on the mountain."

Zhang Jianguo became even happier after hearing this and clapped his thigh excitedly.

"That's good. Look at those children then. During the war, I just wanted my children to go to primary school, so I sent so much money home. It's a pity..."

Zhang Jianguo didn't say the next words, but Gu Xue knew a little bit.

During the war, they still had a lot of subsidies. Zhang Jianguo basically sent all the money back home just to send his children to school.

As an uncle, Zhang Jianguo's brother received the money but did not send Zhang Zhengde to study, which developed his current character of a white-eyed wolf.

Even Zhang Jianguo himself didn't know what the specific situation was.

When he returned home, Gu Qianshan had already prepared the meal and greeted them naturally when he saw them coming back.

"Hurry and wash your hands. Let's have dinner. After dinner, I will take you to the town to buy some clothes."

The clothes Zhang Jianguo wears now are all those that Gu Qianshan didn't want before, and they are a bit too big.

He didn't have his own clothes. When he lived in the cowshed, those clothes were all smelly and were thrown under the overpass when he left.

Zhang Jianguo waved his hand: "If you want to buy me any clothes, I will just wear what you have left. Why waste so much money? You might as well buy more food."

Gu Qianshan shook his head in disapproval: "You still have to buy clothes. If you wear my clothes, they won't fit at all. We brothers don't have so much courtesy. If I buy them for you, you can wear them."

Zhang Jianguo's eyes were a little moist when he looked at Gu Qianshan's determined look.

Then he stopped talking. After eating, Gu Qianshan rode his bicycle and tied a cushion to the back of the bicycle. The back was tilted up to ensure that Zhang Jianguo would not fall.

Gu Xue did not follow him, but went to the elementary school alone.
