When Lin Tao saw this, she said sourly, "My daughter's poop smells good, and her feet smell good too. In your eyes, my daughter is a delicacy."

Li Chengxi quickly stated his position: "I have to explain first, what you said is half right. In my eyes, not only my daughter is a hot commodity, but you are also a hot commodity."

The man said these words with the most serious expression, but Lin Tao felt quite happy inside.

She pursed her lips and smiled, put the cooked dishes on the table, and said, "Okay, I won't joke with you anymore. Just now you said that Ma Debiao was going to Qingshui Island to do development work? Is his whole family going?"

Ever since Lin Tao found out that Ma Debiao had done such a shameless thing, they no longer called him "Captain Ma" but called him by his name.

Sometimes Chen Shuifen even called him "Ma bastard", "Ma eunuch", "Ma beast", whatever name was offensive to her.

Li Chengxi nodded, holding his daughter and sitting at the table: "The whole family must go. After he is sent there, the house allocated here will be taken back."

Lin Tao couldn't help but think of Ma Xiaoying in her class.

After this incident came out, it had a great impact on Ma Xiaoying. Lin Tao noticed that when Ma Xiaoying came to school yesterday, her eyes were swollen from crying, and she sat listlessly in her seat.

Ma Xiaoying, who had finally become lively under Lin Tao's encouragement, disappeared and became the taciturn child again.

Today, Ma Xiaoying even daydreamed during class and couldn't concentrate on the lesson.

Lin Tao talked to her today, and the gist of it was that this matter had nothing to do with her, and that she should just focus on her studies and not worry about adults' affairs.

But Ma Xiaoying just cried and didn't say a word.

Now Li Chengxi said that Ma Debiao and his family were going to Qingshui Island, so Ma Xiaoying would definitely go with them.

Lin Tao served the meal and asked Li Chengxi, "How is Qingshui Island? Is there a school? Can I study there?"

"The conditions there are very difficult and it hasn't been fully developed yet. There are definitely no schools there," said Li Chengxi.

Hearing this, Lin Tao frowned. The conditions on Qingshui Island were poor, and there wasn't even a school there. If Ma Xiaoying went there, she would definitely not be able to study.

Ma Xiaoying's grades are pretty good. If she studies hard, she will be able to succeed.

Lin Tao didn't want her life to stop at the fifth grade, so she planned to go to Yang Aidang to discuss the matter after dinner to see if she could find a way to remedy the situation.

After all, the person who made the mistake was Ma Debiao, and the child was innocent.

Li Chengxi picked up a piece of Lin Taoshao's braised pork with chopsticks, but before he could put it in his mouth, Yueyue in his arms started waving her arms with a gurgling sound. It seemed that she liked the braised pork and wanted to eat it.

Li Chengxi said helplessly: "No, Yueyue is still too young to eat this. Wait until you grow up before eating it."

"You put her in the crib and let her lie down and play by herself. It's not the right way to hold her while eating." Lin Tao said.

Xu Yuting and the others always said that Lin Tao had a good temper and they didn't know how she would spoil her children in the future. But they didn't know that the person who spoiled the children the most in the family was Li Chengxi, not her.

Li Chengxi said: "I wanted to let her go, but she didn't want to lie down, otherwise she would cry."

Lin Tao said helplessly: "You've made her a habit. When Aunt Fang was here, we didn't hold her when we ate, and she was always very well behaved and never cried. But after you held her a few times, she became timid and started crying if you didn't hold her. It's hard to manage the child if you keep doing this."

Li Chengxi was scolded by his daughter-in-law. Although he was reluctant to see his daughter cry, he felt that what his daughter-in-law said made sense, so he had to let his daughter go back with great reluctance.

But Yueyue was smart now, and she started crying as soon as she was put on the crib. Li Chengxi couldn't bear to let her go, so he picked her up and coaxed her.

Lin Tao came over and took the child, saying, "You go eat, I'll take care of the kids."

As she said this, she carefully put Yueyue back on the crib. Yueyue started to cry immediately. Lin Tao didn't care whether she could understand or not, and said, "Lie here for a while. Mom and Dad will come and hug you as soon as they finish their meal. If you cry, you are not a good baby, do you know that?"

It was not known whether Yueyue understood or not. Anyway, after Lin Tao "discussed" with her for a while, she did not cry. Instead, she pouted her mouth in grievance, looking like she was about to cry but not yet. It was really pitiful to see her.

Lin Tao felt distressed, but her principle was that children could be spoiled in other aspects, but the rules should still be set. If she was reluctant to spoil her child when he was young, it would be more difficult to control him when he grew up.

"Mom is going to eat, you just stay next to her." Lin Tao said one more sentence and went to eat.

In fact, the crib had been pushed next to the dining table, very close to them, but Yueyue was so spoiled that she insisted on being held.

After being scolded by Lin Tao, she cried a few times symbolically after Lin Tao left. When she saw that no one paid attention to her, she stopped crying and went to play with her hands.

Seeing this, Lin Tao ate a mouthful of rice, raised her chin towards Li Chengxi, and said with a smug look on her face, "See, Yueyue is just looking at people to serve her well. She knows that you care about her, so you hug her when she cries. In the future, she will cry and want to hug you."

Li Chengxi nodded in agreement and then said, "I never thought our daughter would know this trick at such a young age. She's really smart."

The corner of Lin Tao's mouth twitched, and she was almost choked: "..."

Although Li Chengxi's focus is very skewed, it seems that there is some truth in saying this?

After dinner, not long after Lin Tao fed Yueyue, Yueyue pooped.

While Lin Tao was changing Yueyue's clothes, she joked that she was a straight-forward person and had diarrhea right after eating.

Li Chengqi had just finished washing the dishes when he saw his daughter had poop again, so he poured the water in the kettle into the basin. Together, they helped Yueyue clean her butt, and then went on to give her a bath.

I heard that some children are afraid of water and will cry every time they take a bath. However, Yueyue is not afraid of water at all. Every time Lin Tao and Li Chengxi give her a bath, she becomes very excited and splashes water with her little hands.

After taking a bath, Lin Tao put clothes on Yueyue.

The clothes she wore during confinement were already a little small, but now that the weather was cooler, just one piece was not enough. She had to wear another piece outside. She wore the small clothes inside, and then a small sweater that Lin Tao knitted specially for her outside.

There is a crescent-white moon pattern woven on the sweater, which looks very beautiful.

Lin Tao woven sweaters are beautiful, and the wool they choose is also relatively soft, so they feel soft and warm when worn.

After finishing these things, Lin Tao was still thinking about Ma Xiaoying, so she mentioned this matter to Li Chengxi.

Li Chengxi also felt that it was not good to ruin a child's future because of this incident, and agreed that she should go to Director Yang to talk about this matter. After all, the person who made the mistake was Ma Debiao alone, and the organization had principles and would not generalize to Ma Debiao's children.

"Do you want me to go with you?" Li Chengxi was about to put on his coat.

Lin Tao shook her head and said, "No, it's cold outside at night. Yueyue is still young and will be easily frightened if she goes out at night. You stay at home and take care of the child. I'll be back soon."

After explaining all this, Lin Tao went out with a flashlight.

Although I can still see the road outside at this moment, it is getting dark quickly. It will probably be dark by the time I get back.

When they arrived at Yang Aidan's home, Commander Qi had just gone out of the island for a meeting. Yang Aidan was the only one at home. She was originally knitting a sweater, but she actually began to doze off while knitting. She only perked up a little when Lin Tao came in and invited Lin Tao to come in and sit down.

"Come, come, sit down and have an orange. These oranges were brought from outside the island by Lao Qi last time. They are very sweet." Yang Aidang took out a few oranges to treat Lin Tao.

"Look at me. I said I was going to knit a sweater, but I fell asleep while knitting. I've been knitting this sweater for two or three months, and it's not finished yet. What's going on? What's the matter with you calling me over?"

"Slow work produces fine work. Besides, you are busy with work and don't have time to weave these like us." Lin Tao said with a smile.

Seeing that Yang Aidang asked directly, she also spoke out her thoughts directly: "Ma Xiaoying's grades have always been among the top few in our class. She will take the junior high school entrance examination in the next semester. If she goes to Qingshui Island with her parents now, I don't know if she can take the junior high school entrance examination next year. I was thinking, can I let her stay here to finish the remaining semester? I want to see if there is a dormitory for her to live in, and she can eat in the cafeteria. This child is very sensible and can do many things, so I don't have to worry about anything."

"Actually, as soon as you came, I guessed what you wanted to say." Yang Aidang said with a smile, "I have also considered the problem you mentioned. The mistake made by Ma Debiao cannot affect the child. I just haven't thought about how to deal with the child. But what you just said reminded me. Tomorrow I will go and ask if there are any dormitories with empty beds and let her squeeze in." Yang Aidang said.

"That's great, Director Yang, thank you so much." Lin Tao originally came here just to give it a try, but she didn't expect that Yang Ai Dang had already thought of everything.

Yang Aidang waved his hands and said, "What are you thanking me for? This is also part of my job. On the contrary, you are the one who worries so much about Ma Xiaoying. It is her blessing to have a good teacher like you." Yang Aidang said.

After returning from Yang Aidang's house, Lin Tao just walked to the door and found Ma Xiaoying standing there. She seemed to want to knock on the door, but she hesitated and did not dare to do it several times.

"Ma Xiaoying?" Lin Tao called out.

Ma Xiaoying quickly turned around, and Lin Tao realized that she was crying with tears all over her face.

"Teacher Lin, I'm leaving tomorrow and may not be able to continue my studies. I... I'm sorry." Ma Xiaoying said and bowed to Lin Tao.

When she learned that her father had done that, she felt ashamed. She felt sorry for Teacher Lin because she would not be able to study after going to Qingshui Island. Teacher Lin was so kind to her, always encouraging her and telling her who said women were inferior to men. She made up her mind to study hard and become a promising person in the future, but now she can't do it.

Lin Tao wiped her tears and said, "Don't cry. The teacher just went to see Director Yang, and Director Yang said that it has been arranged for you. You will live in the dormitory with the female soldiers here. You don't have to leave, you can continue to study here."

"Really?" Ma Xiaoying looked up, her eyes full of surprise.

Then there was a burst of ecstasy, Ma Xiaoying hugged Lin Tao in front of her: "Thank you, Teacher Lin, you are the best teacher in the world."

Although Teacher Lin said that it was Director Yang who arranged it, Ma Xiaoying knew that the reason why Teacher Lin went to Director Yang's house so late was because of her matter.

Lin Tao was hugged by Ma Xiaoying. She was not comfortable at first and her body was stiff for a moment, but she quickly hugged Ma Xiaoying back.

Lin Tao: "It's okay. This is none of your business. You are a good kid. Stay on the island and finish the next semester. Then you can go to junior high school outside the island."

"Well, I will study hard and do well in the exams! I want to bring honor to Teacher Lin!" Ma Xiaoying said firmly.

The girl who used to hide in the corner with inferiority complex now has her own determined path to take.

After Ma Xiaoying left, Lin Tao went into the house.

In the room, an adult and a child were having fun. Li Chengxi rolled over on the big bed, and Yueyue also rolled over on the small bed. After rolling over, they giggled and looked very happy.

Lin Tao entered the house, took off her coat, and went to tease Yueyue: "Oh, our Yueyue can roll over now, did she learn from her dad?"

Before she went to Yang Aidang's house, Yueyue had not been able to turn things around, but she didn't expect that as soon as she came back, Yueyue would be able to turn things around.

I heard from Xu Yuting that Qingming could only roll over when he was four or five months old. Yueyue can roll over now when she is just over three months old. It seems that eating so much every day is not in vain.

Yueyue was hungry, so when she was in her mother's arms, she opened her pink little mouth and leaned against Lin Tao's chest. Lin Tao sat on the bed to feed her.

Li Chengxi had just turned his daughter over physically, and when he heard Lin Tao's words, he felt a little proud, but he was calm enough and did not show it too obviously.

"How's the matter going? Did Director Yang agree?" The daughter went to her mother's arms and drank milk obediently. The old father Li Chengxi could finally take a break.

Lin Tao then told Director Yang that he had been planning this for a long time, and then said, "It would be great if there were more cadres like Director Yang. And there should be fewer parasites like Ma Debiao, who really bring shame to the Party and the army."

Then he seemed to remember something and said to Li Chengxi: "If you dare to do this, I will bite you to death."

Yueyue fell asleep soon after drinking milk. Li Chengxi hugged Lin Tao and told her word by word between panting that he could not have anyone else.

The next day, Ma Debiao took Huang Aidi away.

Huang Aidi had a towel wrapped around her head and was holding her baby in her arms. Her face was pale.

It is said that she was very depressed after giving birth. Her husband was having an affair with another woman outside, and the son she had been longing for became a daughter. She immediately said that it was all the fault of the widow and wanted to kill the widow.

As for Ma Debiao? She didn't even curse him, but felt sorry for giving birth to a daughter. Now she was willing to follow him to Qingshui Island. After knowing that Ma Xiaoying would continue to study in Shengshan Island, she told Ma Debiao that she was the best person for him, and Ma Xiaoying was an ungrateful person who would ignore her father if something happened.

He also told Ma Debiao not to give money to Ma Xiaoying when the time comes, to see how she would continue to study.

Fortunately, Director Yang had thought of this problem a long time ago, and the matter was resolved by the organization. Ma Debiao did not dare to not give Ma Xiaoying money for her studies.

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

In the afternoon, several good friends gathered at Lin Tao's house again. Lin Tao was already helping Yueyue crochet a small hat. She also crocheted a pair of little rabbit ears on the hat, which looked very cute.

Xu Yuting looked at him with envy and shouted that she wanted to learn from Lin Tao.

Lin Tao joked that she would have to hurry up. Xu Yuting had just crocheted her shoes last time and had just opened the sweater now, so it was still early for the hat.

When Chen Shuifen talked about Huang Aidi, she was speechless. She had thought that Huang Aidi would have changed a little after this incident.

How could I know that she is still herself and has never changed.

Obviously it was Ma Debiao who did something wrong, but she didn't mean to blame him at all. She cursed the widow as a vixen all day long, saying that people like her should die early. She even blamed the widow for giving birth to a daughter, saying that she should have given birth to a son on a normal day, but she gave birth prematurely because of the fetal movement caused by her anger, and scared the son away.

Lin Tao listened in silence.

"Although that widow is not a good person, is that Ma Debiao a good person? That widow seduced many military officers, but others refused to take the bait, only Ma Debiao took the bait. This shows that he has a bad party character and bad intentions!" Chen Shuifen said.

This aroused the curiosity of Lin Tao and others. From what Chen Shuifen said, did she know that the widow had an affair with someone else?

Xu Yuting quickly said, "Stop keeping us in suspense and tell me who else is there."

Chen Shuifen said: "I don't know who they are, but I know that my husband Zheng has been hooked up before."

Lin Tao was shocked: "There is such a thing."

"Well, after this incident came out, I went to warn Lao Zheng. He said he would never do such a thing and was annoyed by what I said. I said that the widow did not seduce him. If she did, I'm afraid his soul has been seduced away." Chen Shuifen said, "I didn't expect him to say that the widow really did seduce him."

"It seemed to be around the first half of the year. Lao Zheng went to the food factory to buy something and met the widow on the way. She said she had too many things to carry and asked Lao Zheng if he could help her carry them. Lao Zheng thought he was on his way and he could help her, so he helped deliver the things to her door. As a result, the widow invited him into the house to sit and have a drink of water."

"He wasn't thirsty at the time, and he was in a hurry to go home, so he didn't go. Now thinking about it, I guess the widow had that in mind, but my husband Zheng was stupid and didn't understand her tricks. It is said that Ma Debiao was seduced by her in that way, and the two of them did such a shameless thing after a few interactions."

After hearing this, everyone sighed.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. I've been hearing about it so much these past few days that my ears are about to get tangled up." Lin Tao said with a smile.

At home, Chen Shuifen said this, and at school, others also said this, it's really true that you can't escape it anywhere.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. It sounds unlucky." Chen Shuifen said.

They chatted about other things, and when the time came, they went home to cook.

Before going to bed at night, Lin Tao thought of what Chen Shuifen said during the day, and asked Li Chengxi if it was true. Li Chengxi shook his head. It really wasn't true. After all, he was known as the "Living King of Yan". He didn't even like the blind date introduced by the organization, so how could he like such a dubious person?

Therefore, people like Li Chengxi were not within the widow's consideration.

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

Lin Tao exchanged some cotton from Zhong Jing and planned to make a set of cotton coat and pants for Yueyue. She also asked Xu Yuting if she wanted to make a set for Xiao Qingming as well. Xu Yuting didn't know how to make clothes, but she could help and just provide the cotton and fabric herself.

Children's clothes are small, so they are quick and easy to make.

Although the family had prepared cotton-padded clothes and trousers for the child, the child urinated all the time, and two sets of clothes were not enough for him to change. So Xu Yuting got some cotton and cloth and asked Lin Tao to help make a set.

Not only that, Xu Yuting also took advantage of her free time to draw the design of the clothes and asked Lin Tao to make them according to the drawings.

Xu Yuting used to study art and was good at drawing, but now she doesn't have much time to draw. She hasn't drawn for a long time since she designed costumes for the children's performance. She drew another one while her skills were itching.

After seeing it, Lin Tao thought it looked pretty good and not difficult to make, so she made the clothes according to the design.

It only took two days to make two sets of cotton-padded jackets, and they were made quickly and beautifully.

When the two children put them on, they looked so beautiful. They looked like a perfect match.

Even Xu Yuting couldn't help but say, "A Tao, why don't we just arrange a marriage between the two families? These two children grew up together and are childhood sweethearts. If we become in-laws, you will have one more son and I will have one more daughter. How wonderful it is."

After hearing this, Lin Tao just smiled.

Yueyue is Li Chengxi's baby. When Yueyue grows up, her son-in-law will definitely have to pass his test. It is not easy for her to make the decision now.

Fortunately, Xu Yuting just happened to say it on a whim. She also saw that Yueyue was a cute, pink and tender little girl. Plus, she originally wanted to have a daughter-in-law, so she liked her even more.

Not only Xu Yuting likes it, Chen Shuifen also craves it very much. Not long after Lin Tao gave birth to Yueyue, she always heard Chen Shuifen muttering that it would be better to give birth to a maiden, because a maiden is a little quilt for her parents.

Lin Tao heard this and joked to her to have another child.

Chen Shuifen was so frightened that she waved her hands and dared not give birth to a child. She was afraid that if she gave birth to another son, he would not be able to survive.

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

A week later, the off-island outstanding teachers conference ended and Jin Pingping returned.

This meeting was divided into two parts: learning and practice. Logically, the gains should have been fruitful, but Jin Pingping did not bring back much learning materials.

After class, Xu Yuting said speechlessly, "A Tao, did you see that? The principal's face was so gloomy. I said that Jin Pingping shouldn't have been sent to this kind of meeting. I don't know what she was doing there, but she only brought back such a small amount of study materials."

Lin Tao also noticed that the principal looked unhappy. She estimated that if it happened again, the principal would rather send Xu Yuting and Zhong Jing to participate rather than let Jin Pingping go.

However, they soon found out why the study materials Jin Pingping brought back this time were so perfunctory.

When Jin Pingping and Teacher Zhang entered the office together, she boasted, "Xiao Zhang, let me tell you, he is really outstanding. He is less than 30 years old and has become an official in the Education Bureau. People at the same level as him are at least several years older than him. He is knowledgeable, easy to get along with, and his family conditions are not bad. I think I have found the right person this time."

Xu Yuting and Lin Tao heard it and looked at each other. Xu Yuting curled her lips.

Oh, it turns out that Jin Pingping's intention when she went to the island this time was not to attend the meeting or to convey the spirit of the meeting, but to go there at public expense.

All I could think about was how good that man was. How could I remember anything related to studying?

"I'm serious, Xiao Zhang, I'm sure I can marry him this time." Jin Pingping said, and then said, "Well, but to be honest, I really have to thank some people. If it weren't for their rejection, I might not have met the right person."

These words were said intentionally for Lin Tao to hear.

Lin Tao smiled and didn't take what she said seriously.

She had no involvement in this matter in the first place, and no matter how weird Lin Tao was, it had nothing to do with her.

Xu Yuting was quite angry. When Jin Pingping went to class, she imitated her tone of voice and said, "Well, come to think of it, I really have to thank some people... Xiao Zhang, I will definitely get married this time... Tsk tsk, look how proud she is, is it really that serious?"

Zhong Jing and Lin Tao were both amused by Xu Yuting's look, and even Yueyue, who was in Lin Tao's arms, started giggling.

The little girl loves to laugh very much. Xiao Qingming is a little shy now. Except for a few familiar people like Xu Yuting, Lin Tao and Zhong Jing, she won't let anyone else hold her. But Yueyue is not shy at all.

It may also be that she is still young and not yet shy of strangers. She smiles at everyone she meets and is very likable.

Even Yang Ai Dang joked when he saw her that he loved her so much that he really wanted to take her home and make her his concubine.

Zhong Jing smiled and said, "She has been looking for a partner for several years. She finally found the right one, so it's normal for her to be happy. But it's not advisable to use the name of attending the Outstanding Teachers Conference to find a partner."

Lin Tao also nodded and said, "That's right."

However, no matter how much they say, it will be useless. The principal will naturally solve the problem.

The next day, the principal went to find Jin Pingping and probably gave her some ideological education.

Zhong Jing happened to be in the principal's office for something, so she overheard a little. The gist of it was to educate Jin Pingping, saying that she could have a date, but she should not forget the mission the school had assigned her, and that she had to complete that mission before thinking about other things.

What the principal said was quite right, and his tone was not too severe. Moreover, he did not criticize Jin Pingping at the teachers' meeting held at school yesterday, but waited until today to discuss the issue with her in private, which was already giving her a lot of face.

But when Jin Pingping returned to the office, she complained quietly, "What's so great about it? The school on the island is so small, not even comparable to the schools in the city. Even if I get more study materials, what's the point? It's not even a junior high school. If I tell others about it, no one will take it seriously."

Lin Tao couldn't bear to hear this and frowned.

"Teacher Jin, I find that you have a real problem with your thinking. The most important thing in a school is to teach and educate people. As long as the teachers are willing to teach and the students are willing to learn, even a poor school is a good school. Our school had a 100% admission rate last year, and no student was left behind. Everyone else praised our school, but you think it's not good."

Lin Tao's tone was "very bad," and several other teachers echoed her.

Jin Pingping felt embarrassed and ashamed. She went back to her desk without saying anything.

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

Since Yueyue was born, Li Mingcheng sent several more packages. When he learned that Lin Tao had given birth to a daughter and that he had a niece, he was extremely happy. His joy could be seen between the lines of the letters he sent.

However, in mid-January, Li Chengxi received a telegram from Li Mingcheng, which stated that his cousin had seen something he had mailed last time. He explained at the time that it was sent to his former classmate. He didn't know how his cousin found out that it was sent to Shengshan Island, so she told his mother Zhang Sufen about it.

His mother Zhang Sufen told his father Li Guodong about this, and now the two of them are probably on their way to the island.
