Transmigration: Flirted with My Childhood Sweetheart-Chapter 625 - 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 women were prone to.

"Cough cough, Niuwa," Lin Nianhe quietly placed Yang Yumin beside Niuwa and tentatively asked him, "Could you accompany me to take Yumin for a school visit?"

Niuwa: "Alright."

He stood up reluctantly, grabbed Yang Yumin’s hand, and earnestly lectured: "Brother, we are men; we can’t let girls overexert themselves. Sister Hehe is already tired today, and she still has a meeting later, so let me take you for the school visit!"

Yang Yumin looked blankly at Niuwa, then at Lin Nianhe.

He thought...

"Come on, I’ll take you to find Bai Xiaojun. He’s just a little older than you. The games 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 time 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 me by my nickname."

He listened carefully just now; Sister Hehe called that Yang Yumin "Yumin" with such affection!

Upon further reflection, it seemed that Sister He only called out his full name 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 nicknames?" Lin Nianhe felt awkward herself and couldn’t help shivering.

"No," Niuwa honestly replied, "Why don’t you give me 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 me by my name. It makes me stand out."

"Don’t say that, let me 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 time, Niuwa ran away from Lin Nianhe’s side.

It wasn’t that he thought the nickname Lin Nianhe gave him sounded bad, mainly... actually, he didn’t really want a new nickname...

He ran off, but Lin Nianhe took this matter to heart, discussing with Principal Wu whether they should pick an impressive formal name 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 name 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 nickname later."

"What ideas do you have?" Principal Wu thought about it and felt there was some 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 some ideas in mind already.

She thought that, given the boy reads a lot, the name 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 name 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 name.

She flipped through the dictionary for most of the night, wrote down more than a dozen names, 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 time, 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 meaning of each name with him.

Finally, after a thorough discussion, they chose a formal name for Niuwa, "Niu Yuxue."

Lin Nianhe, the person who made this suggestion, found out about the name change after Principal Wu had finished the process.

"Hey? Principal, you should have at least let me choose a bit, I wanted to participate..."

"You? Participate? What name 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 name you chose is especially good. When I have a child, I’ll name them ’Niu Xiangliang’!"

"Ooh, you really understand me!"

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 name 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 summer vacation, and you’ve improved so much!"

"It’s like seeing someone anew after three days. You fully comprehend such difficult concepts after me 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 seemed to have caught the ’compliments 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 mental influence, studying and doing homework became joyful.

There was also a competitive spirit among the children about who got praised and who received the most praise. Now, that had become the most popular competition in the village school.

Seeing the study atmosphere of the village school getting increasingly intense, Principal Wu’s smile became more and more sincere.

This was the inspiration she got from Lin Nianhe, an educational method she pondered all summer 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 method.

After the test scores came out, Principal Wu was so happy she couldn’t fall asleep all night.
