Chapter 232 Misunderstanding (Page 1/2)

After class at noon, Lin Man went straight back to the dormitory without even getting lunch. She entered the space, cooked some rice, steamed a small green dragon, and made a plate of fried crabs from the Typhoon Shelter. After eating, she went into the warehouse.

I started looking for cotton-padded clothes for my child. I wanted the fabric to be comfortable but not too colorful.

After much selection, I finally chose a roll of grass green and a roll of khaki corduroy fabric to make overalls and trousers, and four pieces of solid cotton cloth of different colors to make cotton-padded coats and trousers.

Making two sets of cotton jackets and trousers for each person, and two sets of autumn and winter overalls and trousers are definitely not enough for changing. Lin Man plans to take some time to go to the department store and buy them one or two sets of ready-made clothes with good designs.

Lin Man prepared cloth and cotton, and took out two kilograms of sky blue cashmere yarn, intending to knit a nice woolen coat for their eldest son first, and then for the younger one.

This time, Lin Man started knitting the sweater from the sleeves. After more than an hour, she only knitted a small part of the sleeves.

In the afternoon, she had no classes and was sitting in her office grading students' homework. Zhang Xin took an old sweater with the thread untied, walked up to Lin Man and said, "Teacher Lin, you don't have classes this afternoon. Can you help me wind a ball of yarn?"

Lin Man understood that Teacher Zhang was planning to dismantle the old sweater and re-knit it. She was busy grading homework and had no time to wind the wool for her. She might as well spend that time writing lesson plans for the next lesson.

"Sorry, Teacher Zhang, I'm still grading homework. I'll be setting up the test questions and carving the test papers for the children later."

Seeing that Lin Man refused to help her, Zhang Xin asked again, "Teacher Lin, don't you need to prepare winter clothes for your two children?"

Lin Man paused holding the pen, looked up at Zhang Xin, and said calmly, "My mother-in-law will help make the children's cotton-padded jackets. I will knit sweaters for them at home during the holidays."

Lin Man wanted to remind her that she should do her job well during working hours, but she took the words back and thought, "Mind your own business. She always acts like a chatterbox."

Zhang Xin always felt that Lin Man was hypocritical and not very sociable. The only people she could talk to were a few male teachers. She had no idea what she was thinking.

Seeing that Zhang Xin didn't look for her again, Lin Man simply buried her head in grading homework. When it was almost time to get off work, Principal Tang Guomin suddenly came into the office and said:

"Golden October is the harvest season. This Saturday, our classes will have a labor lesson and will go to the farm to help pick Qiuyue pears.

Teachers of the six classes (Grade 1, Classes 2, 3, and 6), Grade 8, Classes 1 and 4, and Grade 9, Class 2), please remember to notify your students tomorrow morning."

Zhang Xin asked excitedly, "Principal Tang, are you sure we're going to pick fruit instead of harvesting rice this time?"

Tang Guomin nodded. "This year's pear harvest is huge, and the farm workers are too busy to handle it, so we're asking students to help."

Zhang Xin asked again: "Since we are picking pears, what if students steal some?"

"You need to discipline the students. They are not allowed to eat or steal the fruit while picking. If you are caught, you will be punished severely."

Lin Man frowned. Asking students to help pick fruits was a fatal temptation for students who were short of food and clothing. How many of them could resist and not make mistakes?

They are making things difficult for both students and teachers. She would rather have students be arranged to pick vegetables in the fields.

Lin Man thought for a moment and said, "Principal Tang, how many teachers should be assigned to each class?"

"Assign two teachers to each class."

"Principal Tang, the students are helping the farm pick pears. When they leave, will they give each student one or two pears? Even if they're inferior, that way they won't mess around."

Lin Man suddenly made a suggestion. Tang Guomin smiled and said, "If the students help pick the pears, the farm will naturally treat them well. Each person can get two pears when they leave."

Gao Pengfei suddenly said to Lin Man, "Teacher Lin, your class went to pick pears that day, so I won't have any classes. Doesn't Class 2 still need a supervising teacher? Why don't you arrange for me to go?"

Lin Man asked in confusion: "What are you going to do?"

"I'm going to the farm to buy some pears to make autumn pear paste for my daughter."

"Okay, if you want to go, go ahead."

Since they were going to the farm to pick pears on the 25th, she would ask Huo Qingci to pick all the Qiuyue pears in his space tonight and put them in her space. This way, she could get a bag out of her space on Saturday and say she bought them at the farm.

She also came to make some autumn pear paste this year. Now that she is a teacher, she has to find a way to protect her voice.

Before leaving, Lin Man took out the good fabrics, wool and cotton from the space, rode her bike back to the military compound, and unexpectedly met Qin Xiaomin on the way.

Looking at Qin Xiaomin's suddenly swollen face, Lin Man laughed. It had only been a short time, and this woman already had a double chin. It seemed that the effect was quite significant!

Qin Xiaomin suddenly stopped in front of Lin Man's bicycle and said, "Teacher Lin, can you do me a favor?"

"What's the matter?"

"Can you take me to the tofu workshop? I want to buy some dried tofu."

"Sorry, we have something to do at home today, so we have to go back early."

Qin Xiaomin asked, "What's going on? I heard that the security and investigation departments went to your house last night to arrest someone. Did someone in your family do something wrong?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? If someone in my family makes a mistake, how can I still go to work? Comrade Qin, don't believe everything you hear. Be careful not to say anything nonsense or you will be taken away for investigation.

"I see you've gained a lot of weight on your face and body. It seems your family eats meat every day! Your family is really prosperous!" Lin Man said sarcastically.

"You...you...Teacher Lin, please don't talk nonsense. We don't eat meat every day. To be honest with you, I am a fat person. I gain weight even by drinking water."

Lin Man didn't care whether Qin Xiaomin would gain weight by drinking water. She was in a hurry to go back to cook and had no time to bother with her.

"Comrade Qin, I have something to do and I'll leave first. Please make way and don't block the way!"

Seeing that Lin Man refused again, Qin Xiaomin had no choice but to disperse. After Lin Man rode away on her bicycle, she snorted coldly, "What's the big deal? It's just buying a bicycle.

When they have bicycle tickets, they will also buy a Phoenix brand bicycle. When the time comes, no one will lend it to them no matter who comes to borrow it.

When Lin Man returned home, she took the cloth, wool and cotton back to her room. She was about to change her coat and go cook when Huo Qingci suddenly walked in.

"Manman, Su Yingzi's case has widespread consequences. Deputy Commander Su's family has also been arrested and interrogated, and the factory where Su Yingzi works has also been implicated."

"Ah, have Fourth Uncle and Fourth Aunt come out yet?"

"They will be released in the afternoon. Wen Jing will continue to be detained and will not be released until it is clear that everything has nothing to do with him.

This spy has been lurking in China for three or four years. If he hadn't been discovered by us, he would probably have continued to lurk.

They're investigating how many secrets she's leaked in the past few years since she came to China. I heard that last night, despite being tortured, the woman refused to say anything.

The higher-ups had someone force her to drink, and in the end she was drunk, but no useful information was found. Su Yingzi was very cunning and just cursed in Sakura Mandarin.

I think this won't work. It would be better if we gave her some more medicine."

Lin Man looked at Huo Qingci coldly and said, "We finally managed to get it out last night, do we still have to jump in again?

If we really drug her again, the higher-ups might start to suspect us."

"I'm sorry, Manman, you misunderstood me! I didn't ask you to drug them. I meant, why didn't those people just use Veritaserum on her?"
