Xiao Shengtian kept Lin Tao's words in mind, bowed deeply to Lin Tao again, and said solemnly: "Teacher Lin, I will definitely be a useful person to the motherland in the future!"

"Okay, teacher believes in you." Lin Tao said with a smile.

Because of Xiao Shengtian's matter, Lin Tao was really happy the whole day. After Li Chengxi came back, she couldn't wait to tell him about this.

Li Chengxi looked at her excited expression and was as happy as if she was the one who got first place in the exam.

Lin Tao was happy, and Li Chengxi was happy too.

He listened to her patiently and responded occasionally. He could see that his little girl loved the education industry from the bottom of her heart.

However, because of Xiao Shengtian's incident, when Lin Tao went to school the next day, she was unsurprisingly targeted by Jin Pingping.

Maybe it can't be considered as targeting, after all, Jin Pingping has not been getting along with Lin Tao and Xu Yuting for a long time.

This time, all the students in their class were admitted to junior high school, and she should have been the most glorious one. However, Xiao Shengtian in her class actually delivered eggs to Lin Tao instead of her. Jin Pingping was almost mad to death when she saw it yesterday.

Jin Pingping: "Some people are really overreaching. They can't even manage the students in their own class, but they want to manage the students in our class."

Jin Pingping was making sarcastic remarks and acting weird, but Lin Tao didn't give in to her. She smiled at Xu Yuting and Zhong Jing and said, "Yuting, Teacher Zhong, have you ever seen this kind of person? Whenever something happens, she never looks for her own fault, but always thinks it's someone else's fault."

Zhong Jing and Xu Yuting could both tell who Lin Tao was talking about. Zhong Jing smiled and Xu Yuting said, "Of course I have seen him. He is far away and yet close at hand."

***************************

This kind of thing can only be regarded as a minor incident. Jin Pingping felt jealous of Lin Tao, but she couldn't convince her, not to mention the sharp-tongued Xu Yuting and Zhong Jing, who didn't like to cause trouble but spoke with a lot of great principles.

Many times, she wanted to deliberately anger Lin Tao, but in the end she was always the one who got angry.

In addition, after the high school entrance examination, it is summer vacation, and the school is on vacation, so it is completely quiet.

The weather was getting hotter and hotter. After becoming pregnant, Lin Tao was more afraid of heat than before. If she didn't pay attention, she would sweat all over.

At first, Lin Tao went to Xu Yuting's house every day to visit Xiao Qingming, but now the weather is too hot and she is too lazy to move.

Even if I take a walk, I just walk in my own yard where it’s not that hot.

Xu Yuting would occasionally bring her child to Lin Tao's house to play, and before she knew it, more than two months had passed since Xiao Qingming was born.

Today, little Qingming has grown into a plump and white boy, and looks more and more like Xu Yuting.

He seemed very smart. When he arrived at Lin Tao's house, he opened his eyes wide and looked here and there. It must be his first time there and he felt unfamiliar.

"Why did you bring the child here when it's so hot? Aren't you afraid that the child will get sunburned?" When Lin Tao saw Xu Yuting bringing little Qingming, she quickly invited him in.

Xu Yuting said, "It's okay. He's holding an umbrella so he can't get sunburned. And his face has been a little yellow recently. He may have jaundice again. It would be good for him to get more sun and replenish calcium."

"Where's Aunt Wang?" Lin Tao poured Xu Yuting a glass of water and added some brown sugar water to it.

Xu Yuting was thirsty, so she took a sip from the cup. It tasted sweet. The water was warm and boiled, which was quite refreshing. She said, "I'm washing the bedding at home. She will be going back to her hometown soon, and I'm afraid I won't be able to wash the sheets and bedding at home, so I'm going to wash them all."

Lin Tao smiled: "Auntie Wang is so nice to you."

Xu Yuting was not modest and said with a smile: "That's right, I'm even better than my own mother."

"Little Qingming, give your aunt a hug." Lin Tao looked at the chubby little Qingming and felt very happy. She clapped her hands and teased little Qingming.

The crisp sound of the slap attracted Xiao Qingming's attention.

Xu Yuting looked at her belly and asked, "Can I hold you like this? Will it be inconvenient?"

Lin Tao sat on the chair and said, "It should be okay to hold her while sitting. Let me try."

"Okay, Qingming, go let your Aunt Lin hug you." Xu Yuting then sent little Qingming into Lin Tao's arms.

Lin Tao had held Qingming before, when he was only a few days old and very small. Now she is not so flustered to hold him again, and Qingming has gained a few pounds. Xu Yuting said he is now 15 pounds. His wrinkled face has become much plumper, and it is not as inconvenient to hold him as it was at the beginning.

Little Qingming was very well behaved. A child this young wouldn't recognize people. He went into Lin Tao's arms, looked at Lin Tao and then at his mother.

Lin Tao was very curious and reached out to touch Xiao Qingming's fingers, teasing him: "Xiao Qingming, look where your mother is and whose house this is~"

When a child is just born, the skin will slowly shed, and there is some skin on little Qingming's hands that has not yet shed.

Xu Yuting said: "Your Aunt Lin is still pregnant, you better be careful not to kick your Aunt Lin's belly, otherwise mom will spank you!"

After saying that, he waved at Xiao Qingming, not caring whether he could understand or not.

Little Qingming didn't understand what his mother was saying at all. He looked left and right with his big eyes and sucked his fingers.

Lin Tao found it funny for a while, but she was still very careful when holding little Qingming. She tilted her body slightly and didn't put little Qingming's feet towards her belly.

She is getting older now and will give birth in two months, so we have to be careful.

"You're about to give birth, right? Have you discussed with Aunt Fang when to have her come over?" Xu Yuting glanced at Lin Tao's belly.

Lin Tao's belly is really big. It's still more than two months before she gives birth, but her belly looks as big as when she gave birth.

If the doctor hadn't told her during the checkup at the clinic that he only heard one fetal heartbeat, she would have guessed that she was pregnant with twins.

Lin Tao said, "The date has been set. In a little over a month, Aunt Fang will come over from her hometown in Xiangcheng."

The date they had originally set was exactly the date of Lin Tao's due date. Aunt Fang arrived around the same time that Lin Tao was due to give birth.

But after Xu Yuting's premature birth, they moved the date forward, fearing that Lin Tao would also go into labor early and they would be in a rush and unable to cope.

"You should have come earlier, otherwise you wouldn't have ended up like me. You don't know, Wang Yuanliang and I were both looking after the child the day before, and we didn't know what to do. Fortunately, my mother-in-law came early, otherwise it would have taken at least half a month to wait until Wang Yuanliang sent someone to pick her up." Xu Yuting said.

No matter how considerate Wang Yuanliang is, he is still a man after all. It is impossible for him to take care of Xu Yuting as well as Aunt Wang.

Lin Tao nodded: "Who said it wasn't true? It was because I saw you like this that I wanted to ask Aunt Fang to come over earlier, so that we wouldn't be so busy when the time comes."

"Okay, just make the arrangements." Xu Yuting said.

Then he teased little Qingming: "Qingming, do you think your aunt Lin would give you a little brother or a little sister? If she gives you a little brother, he can go to school with you, okay? Or if she gives you a little..."

Before he could finish his words, Zheng Hongxing's voice came from next door.

"The baby in Aunt Lin's belly is not a little brother at all, it's a little sister!" Zheng Hongxing climbed on the ladder, half of his body lying on the wall, and said to them.

This action scared Lin Tao and Xu Yuting a lot. The wall was two meters high and Zheng Hongxing was only three years old. What would happen if he fell down after climbing up there?

Xu Yuting said quickly: "Hongxing, how did you get up there? Where's your mother? Come down quickly, or you'll see what will happen if you fall!"

The tone was urgent and fast.

Lin Tao was still holding the child in her arms, so it was difficult for her to get up. She just changed her expression and said to Xu Yuting, "Yuting, don't scare him."

It's too dangerous up there, and Zheng Hongxing is so young. If he's frightened by Xu Yuting's tone, it would be terrible if he ends up falling down instead of falling down originally.

"Hongxing, don't move. I'll ask Aunt Xu to call your mother." Lin Tao said.

Xu Yuting was also frightened, so her tone was a little anxious. After listening to Lin Tao's words, she also realized that she was too anxious just now, and her tone was a little fierce, which could easily scare the child.

However, the two were afraid of scaring Zheng Hongxing. Zheng Hongxing was obviously much braver than they thought, because he was not scared at all.

This kid has been naughty since he was young, and now he is getting naughtier. Lin Tao asked him not to move for fear that he would fall down, but he said, "Auntie Lin, I'm fine, I won't fall down. My mother said that I was a monkey in my previous life, I..."

Before he could finish his words, Chen Shuifen grabbed him with one hand and pulled him down from the wall.

"Mom——" Zheng Hongxing called out.

Chen Shuifen glared at him, pulled his pants down, and slapped him on the butt a few times: "You little bastard, don't you learn your lesson? You climbed up here in the blink of an eye, you won't fall? If you really break your legs next time, I'll just give you a broken bowl and let you go out to beg for food."

Then came Zheng Hongxing's howl.

Lin Tao and Xu Yuting looked at each other, feeling helpless and amused.

Xu Yuting curled her lips, sat back down, glanced at Xiao Qingming, and sighed, "Boys are just naughty, not as worry-free as girls. I wonder if this brat will turn out to be like Hongxing in the future."

Ever since she became pregnant, she had been thinking about having a daughter.

Although I gave birth to a son later, he was my own child after all, so it was impossible for me not to like him. However, I still felt a little regretful in my heart.

Now that she has seen Zheng Hongxing being so naughty, she can't help but worry about her future child-rearing career.

Lin Tao teased little Qingming and said, "The child is still so young, and you are already worrying about how he will grow up? Besides, every child has a different personality. Look at Hongxing's brother Xiangyang, he is not as naughty as him. Little Qingming has been well-behaved since he was young, he never cries or makes a fuss, how can he be a naughty child?"

"He'd better behave himself, otherwise I'll spank him like Chen Shuifen did." Xu Yuting said, reaching out to touch Xiao Qingming's chin, "Did you hear me? You can't be too naughty."

Over there, Chen Shuifen had already dealt with Zheng Hongxing.

The door to Lin Tao's house was open, so Chen Shuifen walked in directly. Seeing Xu Yuting reaching out to touch Xiao Qingming's chin, she said, "Teacher Xu, you can't touch a child's chin randomly. If you touch it too much, they will drool."

Xu Yuting withdrew her hand angrily. Her mother-in-law had also said the same thing, but sometimes she just couldn't help it.

It's because her son is so cute that I can't help it.

When Lin Tao saw Chen Shuifen, she smiled, asked her to sit down, and poured herself some water. However, she was holding a child in her arms and could not ask for anything else.

I asked, "Where's Hongxing? Did she cry under the covers after you beat her up?"

Chen Shuifen gets a headache whenever she mentions this brat Zheng Hongxing. She said helplessly, "Crybaby? It would be nice if this brat knew how to cry. He didn't shed a single tear after I beat him up, and he even asked if he could go out and play after the beating. I didn't give birth to a son, I gave birth to an ancestor. This kid is much more naughty than his brother was when he was a kid. It's better to make him drool than cry."

"But sister, you have to be more careful in the future. Put away the ladder after use. It would be terrible if the child fell down." Lin Tao said.

Chen Shuifen nodded: "That's right, I was just afraid that he would climb up the ladder, so I usually put it away after use. Didn't I just go to the toilet today? I planned to put it away when I came back, but I didn't expect that this brat would climb up in such a short time."

Xu Yuting listened to Chen Shuifen's complaints and looked at the little Qingming eating his fingers in Lin Tao's arms, and she felt even more overwhelmed.

Lin Tao saw Xu Yuting's fear and said with a smile, "Big sister, look how scared you made Yuting."

Chen Shuifen glanced at Xu Yuting and immediately laughed: "Hey, Teacher Xu, don't be scared by what I said. My kid is naughty, but your little Qingming has been well-behaved since he was born, so he definitely won't be like that."

"Qingming, would you like to let your aunt hug you?" After Chen Shuifen finished talking to Xu Yuting, she went to tease little Qingming.

Lin Tao glanced at Chen Shuifen's hands. She had just gone to the toilet and beat up Zheng Hongxing when she came back. It was unknown whether she had washed her hands before coming here.

She knew that Xu Yuting liked cleanliness. If Chen Shuifen had held Xiao Qingming without washing her hands, Xu Yuting would definitely be unhappy in her heart even if she didn't say it on the surface.

Lin Tao was just about to say something else to change the subject, but when little Qingming in her arms saw Chen Shuifen coming over, she immediately started crying.

Her fair and tender face wrinkled into a ball, and she opened her mouth and started to cry loudly.

Chen Shuifen quickly stepped back and said a few words, and Lin Tao coaxed him: "Little Qingming, be good, don't cry, don't cry, we'll find your mother, let your mother hold you."

As he spoke, he patted Xiao Qingming gently, then handed the child to Xu Yuting and said to Chen Shuifen, "Maybe the child is unfamiliar with strangers."

"This child is shy at such a young age. He will definitely be smart in the future, like Captain Wang and Teacher Xu." Chen Shuifen said, "But I think he likes you holding him. Maybe he likes you because you are pretty."

"No way, what can a child understand? Maybe I went to see him frequently recently and he remembered me." Lin Tao said.

Xu Yuting took the child and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Not to mention, she was actually a little nervous when she heard that Chen Shuifen was going to take little Qingming home.

She had no problem with Chen Shuifen. Ever since they talked it out last time, the two of them had become good friends. Although they would occasionally argue, no one would take it to heart.

But she couldn't stand the fact that Chen Shuifen went to the toilet and came back without washing her hands before hugging her son. Her hands must be so dirty and full of germs.

When little Qingming was in Xu Yuting's arms, he stopped crying and continued to suck his fingers.

When Xu Yuting saw this, she praised him in her heart, saying that he was indeed her good son and cried at the right time.

Actually, Xiao Qingming just wanted to pee...

Not long after, Xu Yuting felt a dampness in her hand, and she found that Xiao Qingming had urinated. It was normal for children to urinate, and when Xu Yuting went out, her mother-in-law, Aunt Wang, even prepared a few diapers for her to change for Xiao Qingming.

However, with Aunt Wang around, Xu Yuting basically didn't have to change Qingming's diapers at home, which resulted in her being relatively unfamiliar with the technique of changing Qingming's diapers.

But after a lot of trouble, I finally changed Qingming's diaper.

Little Qingming kicked his little feet here and there, letting his mother torture him.

Not long after, Zhong Jing arrived.

She walked to the door with a bucket in her hand and knocked. After calling "Teacher Lin", she found that Lin Tao, Xu Yuting and Chen Shuifen were sitting in the yard, looking at her.

Lin Tao smiled and waved at Zhong Jing: "Teacher Zhong? Come in and sit down."

"Teacher Xu, Sister Chen, are you all here?" Zhong Jing said as she pushed open the gate and walked in. "That's great. I don't have to deliver them to every household. We've got quite a bit at home, and we can't finish them, so I brought two for your family."

As Teacher Zhong came closer, Lin Tao could see clearly what the fish in the bucket was. It was sea bass, a good fish with few bones and delicious meat.

The fish were all alive, and the bucket was filled with water. They probably put it there on purpose because they were afraid that the fish would die on the way and would not be fresh.

"It's such a hot day, and you still come to deliver fish to us in person. I really don't know what to say." Lin Tao said, pouring a glass of water for Zhong Jing, and went home to grab a handful of melon seeds and peanuts. The four of them sat together and talked and ate melon seeds.

She and Xu Yuting don't really eat these things.

When Chen Shuifen came over just now, it was inconvenient for her to hold the child. Now that Xiao Qingming was held in Xu Yuting's arms, she could move more freely.

Chen Shuifen and Xu Yuting were also quite embarrassed, and Zhong Jing was really polite. Every time the family shared the fish, she would bring some for them, sometimes shrimps, sometimes crabs.

Zhong Jing said, "It's nothing. You guys have helped me a lot. It's just a few fish. It's not worth much."

"Oh, it's been such a short time since we last met, and little Qingming has grown so big. He looks so handsome. Teacher Xu, little Qingming looks like you, not like your Captain Wang." Zhong Jing said.

It’s not that Wang Yuanliang is not good-looking, but in terms of eyebrows and eyes, Xu Yuting is still more delicate, and Xiao Qingming looks very delicate and cute.

Xu Yuting laughed when she heard this: "Everyone says so."

Lin Tao said, "At that time you said it didn't look like him, because you thought little Qingming was wrinkled and ugly."

Xu Yuting pouted: "When he was just born, his skin was red and wrinkled like a little mouse, not good-looking at all. How could I have known that he would become like this in two months?"

Chen Shuifen laughed and said, "All babies look like that when they are born. They will become good-looking after being raised. My son Hongxing was ugly when he was just born. I felt cold when I took a look at him after he was born. I thought he was too ugly."

Unexpectedly, the child grew up to be good-looking, and most importantly, looked more and more like his father Zheng Youde.

They talked about something else, during which time Lin Tao went to throw a few vegetable leaves to the little rabbit.

When Xu Yuting saw the little rabbit, she thought of her own rabbit and asked Zhong Jing in a distressed tone, "Teacher Zhong, I want to ask you something. I don't know what's wrong with my rabbit. It's been biting its cage lately and jumping up and down all the time. It seems to have started last month. I remember it wasn't like this before."

It’s not that he wasn’t full. He was fed vegetable leaves every day. I just don’t know what happened.

If there was a dog at home and the rabbit had never been bitten by a dog, Xu Yuting would have suspected that it had rabies.

Zhong Jing laughed after hearing this and said, "That's because the rabbits are in estrus. It's about time. You have male rabbits and Teacher Lin has female rabbits, so it's not that obvious. Rabbits will enter estrus when they are ready to reproduce."

Several people looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

"How about I bring your rabbit over sometime and let it mate with Teacher Lin's rabbit?" Zhong Jing asked.

There were several women there, so there was no need to be cautious about what they said.

Xu Yuting asked Zhong Jing if she had anything to do later. Zhong Jing said she would just go home and cook dinner in the evening and she would have nothing to do in the afternoon.

Xu Yuting said: "How about today?"

That rabbit has been in heat more severely recently, so it's better to get rid of it as early as possible to avoid it biting through the cage.
