Chapter 82

The principal was previously worried about the new teacher, and after the start of the school year, she herself became a substitute teacher.

However, the school has been very busy lately because of the construction of the junior high school, and she has other things to do, so she can no longer substitute for the class. She has been very anxious these days, and her mouth is covered with bubbles.

There was really no other way, so I discussed with Yang Ai-dang that we should let Lin Hui be a substitute teacher. When the junior high school is built, there will be a group of new teachers. We can decide when the time comes.

In fact, the principal had considered Lin Hui before, but Yang Aidang did not agree very much. He felt that Lin Hui had a problem with her character. If she became a teacher, she would be expected to be a role model for others. If a teacher was like this, what kind of students would she teach?

Not to mention that those students are still first graders, which is the time when they need to establish good moral character.

The principal also came to the island very early. She has been the principal of Shengshan Primary School since its establishment. She has a good relationship with Yang Aidang and is used to asking Yang Aidang for his advice on everything.

Yang Ai Dang felt that this was not okay, so she had to do it herself.

But now it’s no longer possible. She is too busy and can’t even go up herself, so she has to find someone else.

This person happens to be Lin Hui, what should I do?

Just when the principal and Yang Aidang could not reach an agreement, Zhong Jing came and said that she could teach two grades since the two courses were separate.

So the principal made the decision and let Zhong Jing take the class.

Lin Tao had taught two classes before, both Chinese and math, and to be honest, it was really tiring. But she also understood that Zhong Jing wanted to make more money, and fortunately, the first-grade math class was relatively simple and easy, and she didn't need to spend much time on lesson preparation.

However, they all guessed the wrong reason. Zhong Jing didn't say this for money this time.

"I think it's a good thing too. Otherwise, if Lin Huizhen came, it would definitely make our office full of smoke and fog." Xu Yuting said.

Chen Shuifen nodded and said, "Teacher Xu is right. No matter who is chosen as the teacher, don't let Lin Hui go. I dare not let her teach our Xiangyang. Don't let her teach the child badly."

They chatted about other things, and as it was almost five o'clock, they both decided to go back.

Xu Yuting said, "Yueyue hasn't woken up yet? I still want to tease her. I haven't seen her for a few days. I miss her so much. She's the one I dream about at night."

What a coincidence, Yueyue woke up at that moment and her crying voice was heard from inside the house.

But she stopped crying after a while. She must have wet herself, so Li Chengxi changed her diaper.

When Li Chengxi carried Yueyue out, he saw several people sitting in the yard. Xu Yuting joked, "Captain Li is getting better and better at taking care of children now."

Li Chengxi looked serious and said, "Your Wang Yuanliang is not bad either."

This made everyone laugh. Lin Tao took Yueyue and said, "Okay, stop bragging. Yueyue, look who's here. It's Aunt Xu, Aunt Chen, and your aunt."

When Lin Manman first arrived, she wanted to go see Yueyue, but Li Chengxi and Yueyue were sleeping in the bedroom together, so she didn't go in.

At this moment, Yueyue was carried out, and her eyes were glued to Yueyue, as if she couldn't move them away.

Pulling Yueyue's little hand and touching her little face, I felt that everything about her was perfect. I sighed, "Yueyue has grown so big. She is so cute."

"Everyone envies your sister for giving birth to a daughter," said Xu Yuting.

Lin Tao smiled and said, "If you like daughters so much, have another one in two years."

"We'll talk about this later." Xu Yuting pouted. She liked him, but what if she gave birth to another son? Wouldn't that be a loss? Wouldn't all her pain be in vain? One son was enough.

After meeting Yueyue, Xu Yuting felt satisfied and went back first.

Lin Manman stayed at home for dinner tonight. Lin Tao fried some blood sausage and braised fish. There was still some cornmeal from the lunch, so Lin Tao made thirty or forty steamed buns. Just like at noon, she put pickled beans in the buns.

Li Chengxi ate about ten of them, one at a time.

There was not enough wowotou for lunch, so Lin Manman gave it all to others. She hadn't even eaten it yet, and she just heard others say it was delicious. Now she finally got to eat it, and it tasted really good.

Cooking is really a matter of talent. In fact, Lin Tao learned from Aunt Fang, but Lin Manman couldn't cook as well as she did. However, Lin Manman was quite interested in medicine, so she went to the medical school.

After dinner, Lin Manman played with Yueyue for a while and then had to go back to the dormitory.

Lin Tao said, "Let me see you off."

Lin Manman shook her head: "It's okay, sister. I can go back by myself."

"It's okay. I just need to go to Teacher Zhong's house. It's on my way. Let's go together." Lin Tao said. So Yueyue and Li Chengxi were left at home again.

The two looked at each other, and Li Chengxi took Yueyue to play with the rattles.

It was late spring, and the wind was a little cold, but they both wore coats, so they didn't feel cold, but rather quite comfortable. They walked forward arm in arm, as if they were back in Taohua Village.

At that time, they were as close as sisters as they are now.

When they reached the fork in the road, Lin Tao waved to Lin Manman and said, "I have to leave this way. You should go back and rest early. Talk to your friends more. Don't be alone all the time. Do you hear me? Come to my house for dinner tomorrow night."

"Okay, I understand." Lin Manman nodded, "Then I'll go first, sister."

After watching Lin Manman walk for a while, Lin Tao walked towards the fishing village.

Zhong Jing's home was right at the entrance of the fishing village, but as soon as she walked to the door, she heard a quarrel inside.

"Zhou Wen, do you know how ridiculous you have become now? Can't you pretend you didn't hear what others said on purpose? She was deliberately provoking you, can't you see that? Or are you so inferior now that you even take the lies others tell you as true?" Zhong Jing's emotions were a little broken.

Looking at Zhou Wen with red eyes, she finally sighed: "I don't want to tell you this anymore. These days, because of such boring things, we have quarreled for the first time in all these years. I want to go out for a walk and feel the sea breeze. I will be back soon."

Then came the sound of doors opening and closing.

Lin Tao stood at the door without knocking. After a while, Zhong Jing opened the gate and saw Lin Tao standing at the door.

"Teacher Lin?" Zhong Jing was surprised that Lin Tao came over at this time.

Lin Tao smiled at her, handed her the things in her hand, and said, "Here, when you go out on the island, bring some things that our supply and marketing cooperative on the island doesn't have."

"Thank you." Zhong Jing took it and asked, "Did you hear everything just now?"

Lin Tao smiled and said, "Teacher Zhong, the sea breeze is very comfortable today. Let me walk with you and we can talk while we walk."

She didn't ask Zhong Jing about it before because she felt it was inappropriate to meddle in other people's family affairs, and Zhong Jing was obviously not willing to say it at that time. But now the situation is different, she happened to hear it.

Zhong Jing did not intend to hide it. As they walked, they talked: "He has changed a lot since the accident, but I can understand him. He used to be our professor's favorite student and the pride of the school. The biggest storm he has ever experienced in his life is being demoted here..."

"He is too sensitive. He believes everything others say." Zhong Jing sighed. A few days ago, she found out that it was Lin Hui who said something bad in front of Zhou Wen. "I recommended myself to Zhou Wen for this reason. I knew Lin Hui wanted to be a teacher, so I would not give her this opportunity even if I took two classes."

Zhong Jing is usually very easy to talk to, but if you step on her tail, she will get angry.

Lin Tao pursed her lips and said, "Lin Hui is indeed someone who would do such a thing, but we really never meant to do so. I also know Sister Chen and Yu Ting very well. They, like me, sincerely regard you as a good friend."

"I know, Teacher Lin, you are all very good people. I have never doubted this." Zhong Jing nodded and said, "I am most happy to have a few good friends like you on the island."

Lin Tao thought for a moment and said, "How about I go and explain it to Zhou Wen in person? Maybe then he won't be so upset and won't quarrel with you about this matter."

"No, that won't work." Zhong Jing shook her head decisively. "His self-esteem is too strong. If you tell him these things, it will have the opposite effect."

After that, she smiled at Lin Tao and said, "It's okay, it will be fine after a while. Maybe he has been under a lot of pressure recently and is not in a good mood."

Since Zhong Jing said so, Lin Tao gave up.

When they got home, Yueyue was tired from playing with Li Chengxi and fell asleep. Li Chengxi and Lin Tao took a bath, and as soon as they got into bed, Li Chengxi held Lin Tao in his arms.

Lin Tao knew immediately what Li Chengxi wanted to do. They had been staying in the guesthouse for the past few days, and even though they slept in the same bed, they had not done anything. He could not hold it back any longer.

Lin Tao's body softened and she let him do whatever he wanted.

Both of them are now paying extra attention. Even if they want to, they have to take out the condom and use it. They just had a new baby, so there is no rush.

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

Besides, Lin Hui originally thought that after Jin Pingping left the island, since the school was so short of teachers, it would definitely be her turn.

As a result, she waited and waited, but what she got was the news that the principal had to substitute teach.

Later, the school started to build a junior high school department, and the principal had to go to work there. Lin Hui felt that her chance had come again. But after waiting for a long time, she received another piece of news: the school did not plan to recruit new teachers, so Zhong Jing went to substitute for the class.

When Lin Hui heard the news, she was so angry that she almost vomited blood.

But there was really no other way. Before, Shen Jiaping was still young, so she could say that she didn't go to work in order to take care of Shen Jiaping. But now Shen Jiaping is more than three years old and doesn't need anyone to look after him at all. She has to go to work no matter what.

Especially recently, Shen Guobin also mentioned this matter to her.

But she had missed several good job opportunities when she first arrived on the island, and now the remaining jobs were neither suitable nor picky for her.

Finally, she had no choice but to go to work in the logistics department.

The workload in the logistics department is higher than in other places, and sometimes we need to move things. Chen Shuifen is also in the logistics department, but she is strong, efficient, sincere and popular. When she came to work last year, she got along well with everyone.

But Lin Hui was not very strong, and when she was in Taohua Village, she seldom did any heavy work.

When I arrived at the logistics department, I felt tired after doing a little work and wanted to sit down and rest.

Chen Shuifen was not used to her. When she saw Lin Hui sitting down to rest, she walked over to urge her: "Can you hurry up? Why are you taking your time? If everyone is like you, we won't be able to finish this work until the sun sets."

Lin Hui was so angry that she almost died, but she dared not say anything.

Every time she returned home, she was so tired that she didn't want to do anything, but the family's meals and clothes were waiting for her, and there was always work to do at home.

As she lay on the bed like a dead fish, Lin Hui recalled the glory of Lin Tao in her previous life.

She compared her current life with Lin Tao's in her previous life. She felt that this was not the life she wanted at all, especially when she saw that Lin Tao in this life was living a better life than in her previous life...

She just couldn't understand it. It was obviously her who was reborn. She was the one chosen by God to reshuffle the cards. How did it turn out like this?

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

The fourth-grade students that Lin Tao used to teach have now been promoted to the fifth grade.

At present, the school year system in different parts of the country is different. For example, when Lin Tao was studying in Xiangcheng, the primary school had six grades and the junior high school had two grades. But in Shancheng, the primary school is five years and the junior high school is three years.

In two months, these students from Lin Tao will take the junior high school entrance exam, and then graduate from primary school and become junior high school students.

Recently, everyone knew that the school was going to build a junior high school. They were all very excited. After class, they couldn't help but ask Lin Tao: "When will the junior high school be completed?"

"Now that our school has a junior high school department, do we no longer have to go off the island to attend classes? Can we continue to attend classes here?"

"Will Teacher Lin go to teach in junior high school? Can he continue to teach us?"

Those students who used to be eager to leave the island and see the world outside the island, no longer yearn for it since some time ago.

They are about to graduate, and they have fewer and fewer classes with Lin Tao.

In the past, they always hoped that the class time would pass faster so that they could go out and play. But now when the bell rings, they will wonder how time can pass so quickly? The time of a class is gone in a flash.

They couldn't bear to part with Lin Tao.

Lin Tao understood it all in her heart, and she couldn't bear to leave them.

This was her first batch of students, and it was of great significance to her. She could not forget the cuteness of these students, and she thought that perhaps many years later, she would still remember their names.

Lin Jianguo, Lin Jianye, Ma Xiaoying, Zhao Tianlong, Yu Liping, Yu Huanhuan...

However, Lin Tao could not give accurate answers to these students' questions. She could only say, "The teachers don't know the answers to these questions at the moment. Anyway, there are still more than four months before the junior high school starts. Let's wait and see. Maybe by then, the junior high school will be built and everyone won't have to leave the island."

When Lin Tao said this, she didn't think about it.

Because of her words, these children spent their entire summer vacation helping to build the junior high school. They helped move bricks, pick up stones...

They have only one goal, which is to complete the construction of the junior high school before the start of school in September, so that they can continue to stay on the island!

On the other side, Zhong Jing was teaching a first grade class. When she was teaching, Shen Jiahao didn't listen at all. Instead, he talked to the classmates in front, behind, and around him. If one ignored him, he would talk to another one. If the other one ignored him, he would talk to himself.

Anyway, he just wanted to pick on Zhong Jing. He didn't listen to her lectures and even made trouble in class.

Zhong Jing stopped writing on the blackboard with chalk and said coldly, "Shen Jiahao, go out and stand in prison."

Shen Jiahao said "oh" and stood up from his seat nonchalantly, and walked outside the classroom to stand. He didn't want to take Zhong Jing's class anyway. If it weren't for this woman, his mother could have come to the school to be a teacher. It's all her fault!

Anyway, as long as Zhong Jing taught in their class, he would not listen to her lecture seriously.

After class, Zhong Jing returned to her office, feeling a headache and sighed.

Zhong Jing sighed, and Lin Tao and Xu Yuting knew why.

Lin Tao was helpless, closed the book, and asked, "Is Shen Jiahao starting again?"

Xu Yuting said, "To be honest, I don't think you have anything to worry about. Anyway, you have already taught him the knowledge points that should be taught. If he doesn't learn, that's his business. When he gets a bad grade on the exam and comes home, we'll see what he'll do."

Zhong Jing said, "That's true, and I've thought about it before. As a teacher, I sometimes think it would be best if he could attend classes. But this kid is actually quite smart and learns quickly, but he hasn't used his intelligence in the right way. I wondered if I could turn him around while he was still young."

But after trying for a while, she found it difficult.

Lin Tao frowned and said, "It's all because of Lin Hui's bad teaching. The environment a child grows up in has a huge impact. Teacher Zhong, you have done your best anyway and have done what you should do. If he really doesn't listen, you can only let him go. The path you choose cannot be ignored just because he is young."

However, when Lin Tao thought of the children from the Shen family, Shen Jiaping appeared in her mind.

The child seemed to be unaffected by Lin Hui and was different from his brothers and sisters. Moreover, every time he saw me on the street, he would smile at me, bow and say "Hello, Teacher Lin".

This child gave her a good and friendly feeling. Lin Tao thought that she hoped he would not be taught badly in the future.

At this time, Shen Jiaping had already arrived at the school.

He came to deliver lunch to Shen Jiahao. He would arrive half an hour early every day and sit in the corridor outside waiting.

Sometimes Lin Tao looked out the window and saw Shen Jiaping looking over here.

Lin Tao smiled and waved at him: "Shen Jiaping, come here."

Shen Jiaping stood up, patted the dust off his pants, walked to the window and called out, "Hello, Teacher Lin."

Lin Tao said, "Your brother's class won't be over in half an hour. You come so early every day. Isn't it hard for him to wait? Why don't you come in and sit and wait?"
