Chapter 887

After walking for a while, Yu Xiangnan suddenly discovered that the direction Wang An was riding was wrong, so he asked Wang An:

"Xiao An, this road isn't right, is it? Shouldn't we be heading east to go to the county town?"

Wang An said indifferently:

"Yeah, I know. It's already past ten o'clock. Let's go to my house for a meal, and then I'll get you a few black bear kneecaps to treat your old cold legs."

"Zhagu zhagu" is a local dialect, a verb with a wide range of usage. If it's for a tool, it means to repair.

If it's for an unruly animal, the four words "zhagu zhagu" mean to tame.

If it's for a person, it means to make them submit.

But at this moment, what Wang An meant by this was to heal.

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiangnan hurriedly refused:

"My legs are an old problem; they can't be cured. Xiao An, don't waste your effort."

To be honest, if this were in the later generations, with Yu Xiangnan's status as a dignified principal, there would definitely be many people trying to curry favor with him, and he certainly wouldn't lack any kind of nutritional supplements.

However, in this day and age, the vast majority of parents have an attitude of letting things be when it comes to their children's schooling—that is, if you have the ability, you go; if you don't, you hurry up and come down to work and earn money.

Even worse, some would force their children to drop out of school and stay home for all sorts of reasons.

Under these circumstances, whether it's teachers or principals, they all live on fixed salaries, which is a relatively poor profession.

So, like Yu Xiangnan, although he has status and position and is respected wherever he goes, he is truly average in terms of economy and material wealth.

Wang An said confidently:

"Principal, you just listen to me. Black bear kneecaps, also known as fake tiger bone—soaking this stuff in wine to drink is absolutely incredibly effective for your old cold legs and rheumatism. Besides, even if it's not effective, it will definitely be able to relieve the pain."

Yu Xiangnan heard this and continued to refuse:

"I mean, don't give me such good things. You can sell them for money to subsidize your household expenses."

Actually, Wang An knew that Yu Xiangnan just simply didn't want them, because people like Yu Xiangnan have their own persistence and stubbornness, believing that accepting other people's things for nothing violates his principles of conduct.

But how fast is Wang An's brain? Once he heard Yu Xiangnan's real thoughts, he immediately said with a smile:

"Principal, if you say that, then I have to have a good talk with you. No matter what, I am your student, right? If we go by the ancient saying, at the very least, I am your disciple, right?"

Yu Xiangnan was stunned upon hearing this and nodded subconsciously:

"Yes, you are indeed my student."

Wang An continued to laugh:

"The old saying goes, 'A teacher for a day, a father for a lifetime.' There's nothing wrong with that, right?"

This time, without waiting for Yu Xiangnan to answer, Wang An continued:

"As your student, aren't you equivalent to my father? Then, as a son, I show filial piety to my father—is there anything wrong with that? Then, as a father, accepting the filial piety of a son is a matter of natural justice!"

This set of rhetoric from Wang An directly confused Yu Xiangnan, who thought for a long time without being able to say anything to refute it.

So, Wang An continued to ask with a smile:

"Principal, tell me, am I right?"

However, Yu Xiangnan was still frowning and thinking, so he just nodded subconsciously and didn't answer Wang An's question immediately.

It could be seen that Yu Xiangnan wanted to refute Wang An, but when it came to lecturing, Yu Xiangnan, this intellectual, didn't seem to be a match for Wang An, this big bluffer.

And Wu Dong, who heard the conversation between the two, had already turned his face away, shrugging his shoulders from time to time, and stretched his left hand forward, giving Wang An a thumbs up. Actually, the reason Wang An was so eager to give Yu Xiangnan the black bear kneecaps was just because he was Yu Xiangnan.

Without bragging, if Yu Xiangnan were replaced by someone else, then let alone old cold legs, even if they were dying, Wang An might not even lift an eyelid.

Wang An isn't a savior, so how could he help everyone he meets?

Of course, Wang An wanting to help Yu Xiangnan treat his legs also has its reasons.

On one hand, it's because when Wang An was expelled from school, Yu Xiangnan, as the principal, seriously tried to exonerate Wang An.

And on the other hand, it's because Yu Xiangnan, this principal, is a good principal worthy of respect and love.

But besides these two aspects, there is a third aspect, which is that Wang Yi is about to go to County No. 1 Middle School.

If Wang Yi is excellent enough in his studies in the future, plus this layer of relationship with the principal, not to mention what benefits Wang Yi will get, but at the very least, many bad things will automatically bypass Wang Yi.

As a reborn person, Wang An has heard of many shitty things—impersonation, identity theft, swapping exam papers... etc., etc., it's so disgusting!

While talking, Wang An had already driven the sidecar into his own courtyard.

Looking at the two five-room large tiled houses in Wang An's home, as well as the east and west rows of quite long brick-tiled wing rooms, and the various livestock pens built with brick and tile, both Yu Xiangnan and Wu Dong were shocked.

Subconsciously, Wu Dong said with a face full of envy:

"Xiao An, not bad, the large courtyard you built is truly thorough! This is too awesome!"

Although when delivering cement, steel bars, and sand to Wang An's house, Wu Dong had seen Wang An's foundation, but at that time it was full of sand, bricks, tiles, and dirt piles, which could be said to have no comparability to now.

Wang An heard this and said with a face full of pride:

"That's a must. This large courtyard of mine must be the top one in our entire DJ County, hehehehe."

Looking at Wang An's smug look, Wu Dong rarely didn't refute him, but nodded while saying:

"Yeah, it's indeed the top one, no problem."

Wang An's entire courtyard was on a small hillside, and the two main houses were built halfway up the mountain, so standing in front of the two main houses, one could just take in the entire front half of the courtyard.

Yu Xiangnan looked at the bottom of the slope, that is, the sika deer, roe deer, and yellow sheep on the south side of the courtyard, and asked Wang An curiously:

"Xiao An, are these animals all caught by you from the mountains?"

Wang An nodded:

"Yeah, they were all caught. It's just that they aren't easy to catch; it's not as simple as beating them to death and bringing them back."

Yu Xiangnan nodded and praised:

"There are truly 360 trades, and every trade has its master. Your hunting ability is indeed very powerful!"

Thanks to "Empire Emperor" for the tip, thank you, thank you!
