The next day.

On Monday, Yu Lian rushed to school because she had an field trip to an experimental field in the suburbs.

"An'an, are you ready? Grandma hasn't seen you off yet, Mommy has to go."

The next second, An'an put on her schoolbag and appeared in front of her, looking neat and tidy.

He took her hand.

"Mom's all packed, let's go."

Yu Lian quickly said goodbye to the children, gave He Lin a few instructions, and then left with her son.

Five minutes later, after watching her son walk into the school and go into the classroom with his classmates, she quickly left.

At the classroom door, He Ning'an and her deskmate Dajun were quietly discussing their divorce.

"Dajun, hasn't your mother come back yet?"

"No, he probably doesn't want me anymore. My dad always makes her angry, so she packed her things and left. The neighbor grandpa told me."

Although Dajun was a little sad, he was more curious about his classmate's family situation.

"An'an, are your parents really getting a divorce? I ran into you two on the street the other day, and they seemed to be doing well."

When this matter was mentioned, He Ning'an's mood was visibly low.

She slowly began to speak, "My dad is too stupid. My mom doesn't like stupid people. My dad doesn't know how to please my mom."

"I see. But my dad knows how to please my mom. She still doesn't want me anymore. Don't be sad then."

"Dajun, I... never mind, your mother should come back, don't overthink it."

He Ning'an really wanted to tell Dajun with certainty that her mother would not abandon her and her younger siblings, and that even if she left temporarily, she would come back.

Mom loves them very much.

But considering that Dajun had just lost his mother, he decided it was best not to tell him, so as not to upset him.

station.

When Yu Lian rushed over, she found that only her senior brother had arrived, but there was no sign of her teacher.

"You're here, let's go."

Where is the teacher?

"teacher……"

Ning Su hesitated for a second before glancing at his watch. "He's probably still sleeping. Let's go first; he should be here by 11 a.m.

Two days ago, before the weekend break, Shi Aiguo told them to go and check on the few acres of land at the suburban school to see how the herbs were growing and whether they had sprouted.

But when the two arrived at the place, they found nothing but weeds.

Yu Lian even suspected that her senior brother had made a mistake.

"Is this a medicinal herb?"

"I think so. Take a look and see if this is a millipede."

Yu Lian took a step back. "Senior brother, please don't bring the insects in front of me. If you're going to make amends for the teacher, at least find one that grows in a field."

Ning Su coughed twice. "I'm sorry, the teacher must have a bad memory and got it wrong. Let's get rid of the weeds first."

After Ning Su confirmed that the large patches of weeds were not medicinal herbs, the two bent down to weed.

The sand here is very loose, making it easy to pull weeds, but pulling a large patch is not an easy task for two people.

Ning Su lowered his head and continued working, thinking that Yu Lian probably couldn't handle these tasks, and was just about to ask her to stay aside for a while.

Looking up, she realized Yu Lian was already quite a distance ahead of her. The withered grass was half a person's height; you couldn't see the person next to you unless you stood up.

"Yu Lian, you... you actually did manual labor before?"

"What did you say, senior brother?"

The wind was a bit strong, and Yu Lian, who was standing upwind, didn't hear what her senior brother said clearly.

"It's alright, if you're tired, just stop and wait for the old man to come."

"it is good."

The two of them spent more than two hours weeding in the field before the old man finally arrived, half an hour earlier than expected.

"Wow, you two packed up the herbs so quickly! Impressive! I'll treat you to braised pork for lunch."

As he spoke, he took out two lunchboxes from his bag. "Let's have lunch. Eat early today, because you two still have work to do later."

Ning Su asked, puzzled, "I remember you told me that this thing has no medicinal value, right?"

"It turns out that even a teacher can make mistakes. This herb is useful, and I need to continue the experiment. So today, I'll trouble you two to carry these hundreds of pounds of experimental materials back."

In one day, you have to harvest, process, and carry everything back by hand.

Yu Lian's head was spinning just thinking about it.

If she had come alone, it would have been simple; but with people around, she didn't dare use the space freely.

In addition, her father has repeatedly told her to avoid using it if possible, so she hasn't used it for a long time.

"Teacher Shi, how are we supposed to carry this? Why didn't you hire a couple of workers to help you when you came?"

Shi Aiguo actually thought he was fine and there wouldn't be too much, maybe half a sack, enough for the two of them.

But he was startled when he got there, and pretended to be calm.

"Well... if you can't finish it all, come back next time. You'll need to plant other things in May."

Yu Lian had reason to suspect that the teacher's unnatural expression was due to a guilty conscience.

At first, she really thought the old man was fierce and stern, and that his outward kindness was all an act.

She and her senior at school probably only knew how much of a devil he was when checking students' homework.

But in reality, he is forgetful and carefree, and has no discipline in class. What other teachers require of him is completely unacceptable.

He probably knows nothing again today, and he's dragged her and Ning Su down with him.

After the meal, Yu Lian ignored her new clothes and diligently trimmed the roots of the "weeds" according to the teacher's instructions, bundled the dry stalks in a fixed quantity, and put them into a large sack.

By the time everything was tidied up, it was already 5 p.m.

The three of them barely managed to catch the bus back to the city.

However, because the sack took up too much space, the ticket seller asked me to buy two more tickets.

The old man was displeased. "If I don't buy it, are you going to kick me out of the house?"

Yu Lian and Ning Su exchanged a glance; the sack was indeed very large, taking up enough space for three people to stand.

Just as the two were about to take out their money, Shi Aiguo said to the ticket seller, "You brat, lecturing your father now! You just wait!"

The ticket seller glared at him. "Even if you're my father, you still have to pay. Otherwise, get off!"

Ning Su was also surprised. He had been here a few times before, but he didn't know that his teacher's daughter was actually a ticket seller on this route.

"Anyway, I didn't bring any money, so even if I stripped naked, there was nothing to be found."

Upon hearing this, the people on the bus burst into laughter.

The driver advised, "Hongxia, you've finally managed to see your dad, so talk to him properly."

"Li Xuebin, don't interrupt. Is he your father? Why are you calling him so affectionately?"

It's clear that the driver is also afraid of his wife.

Just as the passengers and Yu Lian were watching the teacher make a scene, the car suddenly braked.

Yu Lian had no time to react and her body leaned forward. At the critical moment, Ning Su saved her life.

She almost crashed into the iron pole.

But before they could even express their relief at escaping death, everyone realized something was wrong.

The bus was hit by a car that was crossing the road at a market intersection in a suburban town and started smoking.

"Everyone, get off the bus immediately!!"

The ticket seller and driver quickly evacuated the passengers from the bus.

Even Yu Lian, whose mind was still blank, was pushed off the car.

However, after the two got off the bus, they realized that the teacher had not yet gotten off.

When I ran back, I saw the old man, heartbroken over his herbs, struggling to pull them down by himself.

Shi Hongxia kept cursing the old man, but her actions seemed to indicate that she had given in and was helping him pull the herbs.

Seeing this, the others also went up to help.

Fortunately, the car did not catch fire, and no one on the bus was injured.

But the pickup truck that hit them had already fled and disappeared without a trace.

While reporting the incident to the police, the group received news that they could not return home and were temporarily accommodated in a guesthouse in the town.

There were eight or nine passengers, but now only the three of them and one other person remain.

The rest of the people live in the town and can walk home.

Yu Lian glanced at her watch and immediately looked for a phone, worried that her family would worry.
