Chapter 625: Chapter 624 Niu Xiangliang
Watching Niuwa’s expression and thinking back on what she had just said, Lin Nianhe had to admit that she had made a mistake all won were prone to.
“Cough cough, Niuwa,” Lin Nianhe quietly placed Yang Yumin beside Niuwa and tentatively asked him, “Could you accompany to take Yumin for a school visit?”
Niuwa: “Alright.”
He stood up reluctantly, grabbed Yang Yumin’s hand, and earnestly lectured: “Brother, we are n; we can’t let girls overexert themselves. Sister Hehe is already tired today, and she still has a eting later, so let take you for the school visit!”
Yang Yumin looked blankly at Niuwa, then at Lin Nianhe.
He thought…
“Co on, I’ll take you to find Bai Xiaojun. He’s just a little older than you. The gas we boys play are not for girls!”
Niuwa didn’t wait for Yang Yumin to finish thinking and dragged him away without further discussion, not forgetting to tell Lin Nianhe, “Sister Hehe, you rest. I will take care of brother for you.”
Lin Nianhe: “The younger generation is to be feared…”
When Yang Yumin left, he was reluctant to leave Lin Nianhe, but by the ti He Jianjun was taking them back, he was already full of admiration for Brother Niuwa.
Brother Niuwa took him to play and even taught him how to play mahjong.
He felt that Brother Niuwa was quite nice.
Watching the Niu cart drive away, and once again receiving the good person card, Niuwa moved in front of Lin Nianhe.
He did not speak, only lying on the table and looking at her.
Lin Nianhe: “…”
She never felt so much pressure even when competing with others to the utmost.
“Cough cough,” Lin Nianhe tactically coughed and stuffed an orange-flavored candy into Niuwa’s mouth, “Uh, hahaha, Niuwa, you’ve worked hard.”
Niuwa, chewing the candy, still looked aggrieved: “Sister Hehe, you never called by my nickna.”
He listened carefully just now; Sister Hehe called that Yang Yumin “Yumin” with such affection!
Upon further reflection, it seed that Sister He only called out his full na when addressing him.
Niuwa was discontented.
Lin Nianhe had an awkward expression and after a long silence tentatively called out: “Wawa… Wawa?”
Niuwa: “…”
“Cough cough, do you have any other nicknas?” Lin Nianhe felt awkward herself and couldn’t help shivering.
“No,” Niuwa honestly replied, “Why don’t you give one?”
Lin Nianhe: “Ah, I can do this!”
“Hey, have you been watching ‘Journey to the West’ lately? How about I call you Wukong?”
Niuwa: “…”
“Or how about Xixi?”
“…”
“Youyou?”
“…”
“None of them satisfy you… Ah, I got it, how about I call you Tiezhu? It sounds sturdy!”
Niuwa: “Sister Hehe, I suddenly think it’s pretty good for you just to call by my na. It makes stand out.”
“Don’t say that, let think again… Uh, Tiezhu, don’t run away, wait, let’s discuss it further! If you don’t like the sound of Tiezhu, I can call you Tietie too!”
“…!”
For the first ti, Niuwa ran away from Lin Nianhe’s side.
It wasn’t that he thought the nickna Lin Nianhe gave him sounded bad, mainly… actually, he didn’t really want a new nickna…
He ran off, but Lin Nianhe took this matter to heart, discussing with Principal Wu whether they should pick an impressive formal na for Niuwa.
“Is that really necessary?” Principal Wu laughed, “Does it make any difference what he’s called?”
“In case Niuwa wants to pursue an official career in the future, his na lacks any sense of grandeur,” Lin Nianhe stated confidently, “so it’s still better to change it while he’s young, and he can use Niuwa as a nickna later.”
“What ideas do you have?” Principal Wu thought about it and felt there was so truth to it, so she asked Lin Nianhe.
Principal Wu really trusted Lin Nianhe. She believed that since Lin Nianhe had spoken up, he must have had so ideas in mind already.
She thought that, given the boy reads a lot, the na he picks should be…
“Niu Xiangliang?”
“Get lost!”
Principal Wu was close to dying of anger, clutching her chest and unable to speak for a long while.
“When you have kids, you’re not allowed to na them! Otherwise, you’ll be hated by your child for life…”
Rolling her eyes, Principal Wu cursed with laughter at Lin Nianhe’s retreating back.
In the end, it was Principal Wu who chose Niuwa’s formal na.
She flipped through the dictionary for most of the night, wrote down more than a dozen nas, then discussed with Niuwa to pick out the best few, and finally visited the prison during the lunch break to let Uncle Niu make the final decision.
Uncle Niu was flattered and pondered for a long ti, feeling that they all were good.
He admitted to being uneducated and said to Principal Wu, “Well, Principal, I can’t recognize a basketful of big characters. It’s better if you decide, whatever you say will be right!”
Principal Wu also found it difficult to choose but felt Uncle Niu should be involved, so she patiently analyzed the aning of each na with him.
Finally, after a thorough discussion, they chose a formal na for Niuwa, “Niu Yuxue.”
Lin Nianhe, the person who made this suggestion, found out about the na change after Principal Wu had finished the process.
“Hey? Principal, you should have at least let choose a bit, I wanted to participate…”
“You? Participate? What na do you think is good?” Principal Wu’s expression showed no hope for her naming skills.
“Niu… Xiangliang.”
Lin Nianhe was truly impervious.
Principal Wu really wanted to kick her.
Niuwa leaned into Lin Nianhe’s arms, patting the back of her hand to comfort her: “Sister Hehe, I also think the na you chose is especially good. When I have a child, I’ll na them ‘Niu Xiangliang’!”
“Ooh, you really understand !”
Principal Wu: “…”
She really needed to stay alive and prevent this brother and sister duo from wreaking havoc on the little bastards.
The matter of Niuwa’s na change was just a minor interlude. After school started, the students in the village school noticed quite evidently that their teacher had changed—
“Hey? Not seeing you for sumr vacation, and you’ve improved so much!”
“It’s like seeing soone anew after three days. You fully comprehend such difficult concepts after explaining them only twice. You must have worked hard during the holidays, right?”
“I should tell your parents that you are made for studying. You need to be cultivated properly, you could be a college student in the future!”
Their teacher seed to have caught the ‘complints disease’; as long as they did well, they wouldn’t be ignored.
Children might not fear their parents, but they definitely fear their teachers.
Receiving praise from the teacher made them happy all day. Under this kind of ntal influence, studying and doing howork beca joyful.
There was also a competitive spirit among the children about who got praised and who received the most praise. Now, that had beco the most popular competition in the village school.
Seeing the study atmosphere of the village school getting increasingly intense, Principal Wu’s smile beca more and more sincere.
This was the inspiration she got from Lin Nianhe, an educational thod she pondered all sumr and finally formulated.
For this, she had even given private lessons to all the teachers except Lin Nianhe, analyzing and interpreting each child specifically, finding strengths even in the worst students.
The fact proved that hard work is never wasted. One month after the school started, they organized a test to assess the results of the new teaching thod.
After the test scores ca out, Principal Wu was so happy she couldn’t fall asleep all night.
