A few days later, Zou Tong left the island and returned to the city hospital.

When Xu Yuting learned the news, she came to tell her, but Lin Tao just smiled faintly. She had already known the news a few days ago, so she didn't feel anything when she heard it now.

Xu Yuting asked her about this matter: "You are not jealous of your head Li because of this, right?"

After listening to this, Lin Tao couldn't help but think of that night. She was caught by Li Chengxi just because she said that sourly. He tortured her back and forth until she couldn't bear it anymore. She begged for mercy with a hoarse voice and tears. Only then did Li Chengxi let her go.

He held her face and kissed her lips, telling her over and over again that Li Chengxi only loved Lin Tao, no matter in this life or the next.

Lin Tao thought that she would never dare to be jealous again.

The consequence of being jealous was that her thighs were sore when she got out of bed the next day, and she was so unsteady that she could barely walk a few steps after getting out of bed!

At the end of the month, when Lin Tao received her salary and food coupons, she found that they were a little more than last month. The principal said that the extra money was a reward from the organization for her last performance. It was a total of 20 yuan and 10 kilograms of oil coupons and 10 kilograms of food coupons, which was half of her monthly salary.

In addition, their class was awarded a certificate. Lin Tao and her classmates posted the certificate in the middle of the blackboard.

This is a symbol of their honor. Whenever they look up, they can see this certificate of honor.

After Jin Pingping found out about this, she became extremely jealous, and was even more upset about the fact that the recitation group lost to Lin Tao's choir. She didn't say anything sarcastic, after all, she couldn't beat Lin Tao in an argument, and in the end she was just bringing shame upon herself.

She would just recite a few lines from time to time, but Lin Tao was too lazy to pay attention to her.

Lin Tao used the money to buy some fruit candies and peach cakes and distributed them to the students in the class as a reward for everyone.

The students were all delighted to receive the candies. Some thoughtful students, such as Ma Xiaoying and several female students, even left a White Rabbit candy for each of them and secretly placed it on Xu Yuting's desk.

Xu Yuting initially thought that Lin Tao gave it to her, but when she asked, she found out that it was given to her by several students in Lin Tao's class. Because last time they rehearsed, Xu Yuting specially brought them candies to sweeten their mouths, and now that they have won honors and awards, they also gave Xu Yuting some candies.

It means that Xu Yuting also has a share in their honor and they want to share it with her.

In fact, Xu Yuting no longer likes sweets after she became pregnant, which is why Lin Tao did not give her any candy. But Xu Yuting looked at the candies on the desk and still peeled off the candy wrappers and ate them.

Candy is sweet in the mouth, but it is sweeter in the heart.

Lin Tao looked at Xu Yuting eating White Rabbit candy with a smile on her face, and joked, "How about it, the students in our class are pretty good, right?"

"They still have some conscience." Although Xu Yuting said this, she felt happy in her heart.

Xu Yuting only ate one candy. She couldn't bear to eat the rest, so she put them all in her pocket. She planned to share this joyful candy with Wang Yuanliang after she returned home.

Lin Tao knew that Xu Yuting was a person who was harsh in words but actually very kind-hearted.

The fried August glutinous rice balls sent from Xiangcheng last time were cooked. Lin Tao instructed Li Chengxi to take out all the fried August glutinous rice balls from the rice bag, and they each ate one first.

Li Chengxi had never eaten this thing before. After watching Lin Tao break it open and seeing the white flesh inside, he was sure that this thing was really edible.

Lin Tao took a bite first. It tasted just as good as before, except that there were too many seeds.

After eating one, there wasn't much flesh left, just the seeds.

Li Chengxi liked it very much after eating one, and after dinner he ate three more in one go.

Seeing that August Explosion was in danger at home, Lin Tao gave up the idea of ​​sending a few to Chen Shuifen's family and Xu Yuting's family.

Not long after National Day, Teacher Yao also left the island because of her husband's transfer.

Teacher Yao is usually a nice person in school. She is kind to everyone and never argues with anyone. All the teachers in the school like her very much.

When she left, almost all the teachers in the school went to the pier to see her off. It was a cold day, and the wind was strong on the pier. Lin Tao saw Xu Yuting's eyes red as she stood beside her, and she couldn't help but feel a sour nose.

Even though she had only known Teacher Yao for less than half a year, and even though this was not the first time she had felt the sadness of separation, people tended to become emotional at such times.

No matter when or how many times it happens, parting is always sad.

When Teacher Yao left, the school lost a math teacher.

Teacher Yao was still teaching a graduating class that was about to take the junior high school entrance exam, and their learning progress could not be delayed. The principal and Yang Aidang were working together to recruit new teachers, but looking at the entire island, there were really not many suitable ones.

Mainly, many of the wives of soldiers who came to follow the army have low levels of education. The same is true for the fishermen on the island. The educated young people have already been admitted to work as workers in factories outside the island. Most of those who stayed on the island have only received a few years of education and can only stay on the island as fishermen.

There was no other way. Yang Aidang thought of Lin Hui. Lin Hui was the only one on the island who had enough education to be a teacher but was unemployed. Yang Aidang planned to ask her if she was willing to come to the school to teach.

When Lin Hui first came in the first half of the year, Shen Jiaping was too young to walk. Now, more than half a year has passed, and Shen Jiaping should have walked a few months ago.

Normally, the math teacher does not have many classes, only two or three a day at most. It is also possible to leave your child at another military wife's home during the class.

In order to make this matter go smoothly, Yang Ai Dang even found a military wife for Lin Hui who was willing to help take care of the children while Lin Hui was in class. All she had to do was give her a little bit of favors and it would be fine.

But Lin Hui still resented the previous two incidents. When Yang Ai Dang came to find her, she pretended to be very embarrassed and didn't want to go, and talked about other things and played dumb.

Either I'm not good at this or I'm busy with that. In a word, there's no way I can be a teacher in a school.

Yang Ai Dang was very angry at Lin Hui's attitude. She seemed to be a person who treated things differently. As a leader, she always rewarded when necessary and punished when necessary. What happened in the past was in the past and she would not keep it in mind.

She felt that this was the only way to control the people below her and make them convinced.

But she didn't expect that Lin Hui's awareness was too low. Yang Ai Dang didn't think she did anything wrong in the previous two incidents. Seeing that Lin Hui insisted on doing this, she simply gave up the idea of ​​letting Lin Hui go to school to be a math teacher.

If someone like Lin Hui, who is ignorant and vindictive, were to become a teacher in a school, it might not be a good thing for the students.

Since they couldn't find a teacher, the students couldn't keep missing math classes, so the principal finally asked other teachers to coordinate and ask them to substitute for the class until a new teacher was found.

That teacher is Lin Tao.

In fact, the principal wanted to find Jin Pingping at the beginning. After all, Jin Pingping happened to be teaching that class, so it would be more convenient to teach it together. However, Jin Pingping was busy with blind dates recently, so she was unable to do the job.

Xu Yuting became the art teacher again, so only Lin Tao was left.

Of course, if Lin Tao were to teach two courses, her salary would increase accordingly.

The salary was indeed good, but being a teacher of two main subjects was a heavy burden. Her original classes, combined with Teacher Yao's previous classes, went from two or three classes a day to five or six classes a day, and she was almost in school all day.

In fact, attending classes is a very stressful thing, especially when both subjects are important. In the past, Lin Tao could rest and refresh herself after class. But now, right after class, she has to go to the fifth grade math class in the next period, and her mental state is always in a state of battle.

In the evening, I still have to prepare for two classes.

Lin Tao herself didn't say anything about this high-intensity work, but it made Li Chengxi feel sorry for her.

When he went to bed at night, Li Chengxi held Lin Tao in his arms. Although he wanted to, he couldn't bear to touch her, fearing that she was too tired. He rested his chin on Lin Tao's shoulder and said in a dull tone: "If it really doesn't work, don't try to be stubborn. I'll go talk to Sister Yang."

It's better to tire anyone than to tire your own wife.

On this matter, Li Chengxi admitted that his awareness was too low.

He is willing to risk his life for his country, but when he sees Lin Tao working too hard, he feels particularly reluctant to let her go.

Lin Tao leaned her face against Li Chengxi's chest, squinting her eyes, wanting to sleep but not yet asleep: "If we could find a teacher to substitute for the class, Director Yang wouldn't have asked me to do it. The school is short of teachers now. If I don't step up now, the grades of those children will decline. They will take the junior high school entrance exam next year. What if they fail because of this problem?"

If they fail to pass the junior high school entrance exam, most of them will have to continue to take over their parents' jobs and become fishermen.

When Lin Tao thought of this, she couldn't bear to leave.

Besides, the winter vacation would come soon, and she would be able to have a good rest and have a good New Year. The children were very obedient, knowing that she was tired, and no one was absent-minded during the class. They were all serious.

After class, even if there were still things we didn't understand, we didn't ask her. Instead, the class monitor organized a study mutual aid group on his own, with students with good math grades guiding those with poor grades.

Li Chengxi sighed: "How come my Ah Tao's awareness is so high?"

Lin Tao laughed and said, "How can I be the guest of your Captain Li if I don't have a high level of awareness?"

Li Chengxi liked Lin Tao saying the word "tangke". Although the meaning of "tangke" was the same as that of daughter-in-law, he always felt that it was more intimate.

Especially when these two words came out of Lin Tao's mouth, the feeling was even more different.
