The principal was an educated youth who went to the countryside in the [-]s and married a girl from the village while working on the farm.In the year when the college entrance examination resumed, he passed the entrance examination of Yunzhou Normal University. Halfway through his studies, his daughter-in-law suddenly fell ill and was left unattended, so he had to drop out of school. Since then, he has taken root in this town.

After greeting them familiarly, the headmaster brought some dishes and said to them: "It's a common meal, the big guys will just do it."

"Uncle, you are being polite, you come to bother me every year." Xiao Yuan said quickly, "It is you who don't dislike it."

The headmaster waved his hand, "Don't talk about this, come and eat."

Xiao Yuan sat down beside He Yinghan, and poured wine into both the principal's and his own glasses, "Uncle, don't talk about anything else, if you need anything, come to me." Immediately, he poured wine for He Yinghan and Xu Yue, and everyone touched each other a cup.

After drinking for three rounds, the principal stood up again: "This glass of wine is a toast to Xiao Xu. A donation of 100 million yuan, you are not afraid that I am a liar?"

"Where did you say?" Xu Yue picked up the wine and followed, "My teacher has been here for several years, but if you can't trust him, can you still trust him?"

The principal was also happy, and said to He Yinghan, "Ganqing is after you."

"Yes." After Xu Yue finished speaking, she glanced at He Yinghan intentionally or unintentionally, "I haven't heard from you for more than ten days."

"He is such an adult, he still can't get lost, and he will go back when the time is up." Before He Yinghan could speak, Xiao Yuan interrupted, "Besides, he looks at his phone every day, and I haven't seen you..." Xiao Yuan still wanted to go back After talking, He Yinghan put a piece of chicken into his bowl and said, "The food is getting cold."

"Come, come, eat vegetables." The principal greeted, and then said to He Yinghan, "Xiaohan, show your students around later, don't worry about Li Lin's family, I'll go tomorrow, his parents don't care about it all year round. Just stay at home for a few days."

On the way back, there were only He Yinghan and Xu Yue, and Xiao Yuan stayed to play chess with the principal.The rain stopped this morning, and the sun shone at noon, and the road did a lot of work, avoiding the potholes, and barely able to pass.The path that He Yinghan led Xu Yue stopped on the slope.

Xu Yue followed He Yinghan's line of sight to see a ten-year-old boy bending over to mow grass in the field.He carried a pannier on his back, and the weeds in it poked out from the edge.He Yinghan kept looking at him, and after a few minutes, when he filled the basket and went back, He Yinghan said: "Let's go."

Xu Yue said "hmm", and looked back before raising her foot, only then did she notice that the boy's walking posture was different from that of ordinary people.

The school was built on a slope, and it has been a temple for more than 20 years. It is said that the wall was split in half by a thunderstorm in one summer, and it has been called the Half Temple since then.In the past [-]s, the village wanted to run a primary school and there was no space, so it was repaired and temporarily used as a classroom. Now a teaching building has been built, but ordinary students go to the town primary school, and children with physical disabilities come here.

The trail I took was not the closest one, but half the way around the village.He Yinghan was wearing a somewhat worn-out army green padded jacket, with his hands hanging by his sides, walking in a leisurely manner.Xu Yue who was next to her turned her head to take a look, and suddenly said, "How about we come here for the elderly in the future?"

"I can come, you have your destination." He Yinghan said, "The scenery and air here are better than the city. But the medical education and infrastructure are not perfect, so it is not suitable for living. But I will not need it at that time."

As he spoke, he raised his chin towards the hillside in front and said, "On the hillside in front, just find a place to lie down."

Xu Yue was not happy after hearing his words, and kept frowning.He Yinghan didn't look at him, and walked over to the iron gate of the school.

The door is the playground.There are a few children around a basketball, and no one has taught them usually, and they just take turns throwing and playing.When He Yinghan entered, several people suddenly looked at him in unison.

There was a child inside who couldn't speak. Seeing He Yinghan and the others come back, they immediately ran over and gestured to him, making hoarse voices.

He Yinghan patted his head and said, "Talk slowly, don't worry." The dumb boy slowed down and looked at He Yinghan with red eyes while gesticulating.The rest of the people standing by the basket surrounded them.

Just now the little mute asked the principal that Li Lin would come back in a few days, and it has been more than ten days, is he not coming back?He Yinghan couldn't think of a euphemistic way to say it. There will always be a day when a lie will be exposed. At that time, they will be even more sad.

Eight/nine times out of ten, he won't come back, He Yinghan thought to himself.But he couldn't break their hope, so he had to say: "The principal and I will go to his house tomorrow, don't worry." The children made gestures for a while and ran away.

Xu Yue couldn't get in the conversation, so she waited for He Yinghan.He Yinghan glanced at his watch and said: "There is hot water at this point, go back and get your clothes, the bathhouse is next to the student dormitory." After speaking, he led Xu Yue to turn left.

Xu Yue pulled him to the other side, "Go this way." Then she smiled and said, "Didn't you claim to have a photographic memory, why do you get lost in such a small place?"

He Yinghan didn't know what came to mind, and said flatly: "Maybe my dementia has advanced."

Xu Yue joked, "Why didn't you get lost in those winding paths just now?"

He Yinghan said "um" perfunctorily, not intending to tell him that he had actually lost his way there countless times.

There is no heating equipment in the collective bathhouse. I don’t know who was the last to leave yesterday, and I forgot to close the windows.Xu Yue didn't realize until after taking off her clothes that a gust of wind came in, frowning from the cold.The hot water wasn't very hot, so after a quick shower, Xu Yue went back with her changed clothes.

Walking to the door of her house, Xu Yue paused.He Yinghan moved a small bench at some point, leaned against the wall and dozed off with his face propped up.A ray of sunlight fell on the tip of his small nose through the gap in the eaves.When breathing, the nostrils flutter slightly, revealing a childish air.

In the past two days, Xu Yue noticed that when He Yinghan was particularly relaxed, he would appear a little childish, just like back then.Maybe it was because of being away from the noisy and fast-paced life that his original personality came alive.

Xu Yue couldn't help pinching the tip of his nose, just as his hand touched it, He Yinghan suddenly opened his eyes, "What are you doing?" Xu Yue withdrew her hand and scraped the bridge of her nose, saying, "You have a small flying insect on your nose."

He Yinghan rubbed his nose with his knuckles, clean it. "Fly away early." Xu Yue said while opening the door, "How long have you been waiting for me?"

He Yinghan said, "Not long."

Xu Yue pushed open the door, put the dirty clothes in the washbasin, and let the people outside the door come in.Before I had time to sit down, I heard him say: "Pull up your pants."

"It's not easy to hold the trousers." Xu Yue was stunned, she didn't think about it at all, and said in a daze, "I can only take it off."
