Chapter 90 (1)

Under the pretext of delivering zongzi, Lin Tao finally got a clear look at the Thirteenth Regiment. There was a training ground, a running track...

It's quite spacious.

When Lin Tao first came to Shengshan Island, she felt that it was not very big. She heard from Li Chengxi that there was a garrison division on the island, with more than 20,000 marines alone, plus several thousand military dependents and fishermen, so there were at least 30,000 people on the island.

At that time, Lin Tao was surprised that there were so many people living on this island.

Only when she arrived at the regiment did Lin Tao realize that Shengshan Island was actually very large. The Thirteenth Regiment alone occupied such a large area.

Even though today is the Dragon Boat Festival and the troops have taken a half-day break, there are still quite a few people in the regiment training right now.

Everyone noticed that Li Chengxi was here, especially Lin Tao and Yueyue. Li Chengxi held Yueyue in his arms. The little guy was here for the first time and felt strange and curious about everything. He looked around and his big eyes kept blinking, which could melt anyone's heart.

These soldiers are all young, some are married, but not many, and many of them are still single. Now that they see Yueyue, their desire to find a partner becomes even stronger. They really want to get married and have a daughter as cute as their leader's daughter!

A group of people who were originally training stopped training and just followed behind to watch Yueyue and tease her.

Yueyue looks like their leader, but is not as serious as him. Instead, she looks very cute and loves to laugh.

They called out to Lin Tao and Li Chengxi, "Hello, Captain, hello, sister-in-law!"

Li Chengxi glanced at them and said, "We said last year that the top 20 would get to eat rice dumplings."

As soon as these words were spoken, cheers were heard. Xiao Ning took out the rice dumplings from the trunk of the car and distributed them one by one. Although it was said that only the top 20 people in training would get rice dumplings, since they made a lot this time, everyone present could get some. It could be seen as a reward for their hard work in training here during the Dragon Boat Festival.

After the dumplings were distributed, some of them looked ugly. Someone who got one said, "Could this be made by the team leader?"

After comparing it, it is really different from other dumplings.

The rice dumplings in other people's hands were all wrapped beautifully, but his rice dumpling looked like a defective product.

Li Chengxi's face darkened, and he said to the man, "Don't eat it."

The man was so scared that he quickly peeled off the leaves and stuffed the zongzi into his mouth. He ran around while eating and said, "I want to eat it, I want to eat it very much! I can eat zongzi wrapped by the team leader in my lifetime. This life is worth it!"

Although the rice dumplings made by Li Chengxi look a little ugly, they taste the same as other rice dumplings.

Everyone was given zongzi, and they ate one by one, exclaiming how delicious it was. These people hadn't been home for at least a year or two, and they missed home during festivals. Now they were able to eat the zongzi made by Lin Tao herself, and they were very grateful.

After eating, they came to thank us one by one, saying that they had not eaten such delicious rice dumplings in a long time, and that they tasted like home.

They all looked so pitiful that Lin Tao felt that they had made too few dumplings this time and should have made more.

Li Chengxi said, "Don't pay attention to these brats. The group doesn't usually refuse to celebrate festivals for them. We celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival and Spring Festival together. The group organizes reunion dinners and gives them gifts."

At this moment, each of them has turned yellow inside out.

Lin Tao found it funny: "No wonder they are afraid of you. It is normal for people to miss their families during the holidays."

Li Chengxi took Lin Tao and Yueyue for a walk around the group, and the family of three talked and laughed.

On the other side, Shen Guobin and Lao Jin also came to the group today and happened to see this scene. For some reason, Shen Guobin couldn't help but look over there, but he found it very eye-catching.

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

After playing in the tour group for a short while, the family of three went back home. It was almost time to make dinner, as it was already past four in the afternoon.

When they got home, Lin Changhai and Zheng Youde had already returned. Lin Changhai had caught a lot of fish and raised them all.

"There are so many fish here. We caught so many in just one afternoon," said Lin Changhai.

If it were in Xiangcheng, there would be no way to have so many fish. He had a great time fishing today.

"Then let's make braised fish today." Lin Tao said.

We caught half a bucket of fish, but they were definitely not as big as the ones we bought from the food factory, so we had to roast four or five of them for one meal.

We had some tofu at home, so when I was making braised fish, I cut the tofu into small pieces and put them in to cook. The tofu was cooked so rotten that it broke when poked with chopsticks. I could only use a spoon to scoop it into a bowl and eat it. The braised tofu and braised fish tasted very good together.

Then they cut a piece of bacon to stir-fry. Li Chengxi also cut a handful of leeks from the vegetable garden, and Lin Tao used them to stir-fry dried tofu.

We have saved a lot of eggs at home, so I took out two and made scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and paired them with a bowl of seaweed and shrimp soup, and today's dinner is ready.

Today is the Dragon Boat Festival, and Lin Manman also came to celebrate it with them. They had dinner at home in the evening. She also brought some salted duck eggs sent by a friend from her hometown, which were quite delicious when eaten with rice in the morning.

It's lively when the family eats together.

Lin Tao also made some fish puree and steamed it for Yueyue to eat. It was Yueyue's first time to eat fish puree. Although there was no seasoning in it, Yueyue found it delicious.

After dinner, Lin Manman went back to the dormitory first. Lin Tao handed Yueyue, who was about to fall asleep after eating, to Li Chengxi and Lin Changhai. She changed her clothes and tied her hair into two braids that hung on both sides of her chest.

Yueyue was put to sleep on the small bed. Li Chengxi sat on the bed and watched Lin Tao braiding her hair in front of the mirror.

Lin Tao's hair was cut short when she gave birth to Yueyue, but it has grown longer now. Usually, she likes to put her hair up behind her head, which makes her look neat and fresh.

This time she let her hair down again and tied it into a braid.

Li Chengxi couldn't help but think of the time when they first met. At that time, Lin Tao had her hair tied in two braids and was a little scared when facing him, but she held back.

The little girl was so cute that he was moved at that moment.

But he had never thought that they would get married so soon and have a daughter. The little girl became his wife, and they lived together every day. Such days were plain and happy.

Lin Tao had tied her hair up and just as she stood up, Li Chengxi hugged her in his arms.

The door was closed, and Lin Changhai had gone next door to play chess with Zheng Youde.

But it was still early, not long after dinner, just after six o'clock. Lin Tao let Li Chengxi hold her for a while, and Chen Shuifen's voice was heard outside the door: "Teacher Lin, are you okay?"

Lin Tao then pushed Li Chengxi away and said, "Okay, I have an appointment with my elder sister to go to the movies. It's almost time, so I'll leave first."

He turned back and smiled at Li Chengxi: "Thank you for taking care of the children, Captain Li."

Li Chengxi sat on the bed, coughed lightly, and said, "Just words? No action?"

Action statement?

Lin Tao understood Li Chengxi's hint and blushed, thinking that this man had a lot of demands. But then she thought, they were all out, and Li Chengxi was left alone at home to look after the children, which seemed quite pitiful.

So he smiled, walked up to Li Chengxi, and was about to kiss him on the face.

Little did she know that the man had already guessed her thoughts and was quite cooperative at first. But when Lin Tao leaned over and was about to kiss him, he took the opportunity to turn his face around, and they kissed each other mouth to mouth.

As if that wasn't enough, Li Chengxi hugged Lin Tao, and Lin Tao fell into his arms. Their bodies touched each other, and Lin Tao felt the strong heartbeat in Li Chengxi's chest.

She was afraid of falling, so she put her arms around Li Chengxi's waist.

Li Chengxi is strong and healthy, with a narrow waist and long legs. In the past two years, he has been eating the meals he cooks, and seems to be stronger than two years ago. Lin Tao looks particularly petite in his arms.

Li Chengxi kissed Lin Tao for a long time before letting her go.

Lin Tao was breathing heavily and touched the wetness on her lips. She felt that her lips were about to be swollen from Li Chengxi's kiss.

This person...really...

Lin Tao glared at Li Chengxi, who was smiling at her with a look of satisfaction in his eyes, and reached out to pinch the soft flesh on his waist. Lin Tao found that she seemed to like pinching Li Chengxi's waist now. Every time Li Chengxi provoked her, she couldn't help pinching him.

She scolded, "You're still laughing. I'm going to go out and watch a movie later. If my elder sister and the others find out, they'll laugh at me to death."

Normally, her elder sister loved to make jokes about her and Li Chengxi. If she was discovered this time, she would definitely laugh at her. Lin Tao felt embarrassed just thinking about it.

Li Chengxi let her pinch him. It didn't hurt anyway, so he said, "It's okay. It's dark outside and you can't see."

Lin Tao pouted and looked at herself in the mirror for a while, and found that her lips were still a little red. Her lips were usually closer to flesh pink, but now they were at least two shades redder than usual.

But it was no use wiping it, and Chen Shuifen was already waiting outside, so Lin Tao couldn't delay any longer and had to go out first.

When he left, he threatened Li Chengxi, "Humph, if anyone finds out, I will definitely settle the score with you when I come back."

Li Chengxi chuckled and said he was happy to join in.

It is still unclear who will settle the accounts with whom and how the accounts will be settled.

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

Lin Tao walked into the yard and opened the door. Chen Shuifen was already waiting outside with a flashlight in her hand. Although it was getting dark, it was not yet to the point where a flashlight was needed.

Chen Shuifen was still wearing the same outfit she had worn this morning. She had planned to take a shower after coming back from the movie. If she changed her clothes now, wouldn't she dirty her clean clothes? She would have to wash an extra set of clothes, which was really uneconomical.

When he saw Lin Tao coming out, his eyes lit up.

"Teacher Lin, you are dressed so beautifully today. Is your captain Li seeing things?" Chen Shuifen said this when she saw Lin Tao. "Other people seem to have aged several years after giving birth, but I feel like you are still the same as when you first arrived on the island. Look at your waist and face. Wow, if you go out and say you have given birth and become a mother, no one will believe you."

That's true. Many people are different from when they were young girls after they have children.

Lin Tao felt a little embarrassed by what Chen Shuifen said, and said with a smile: "Sister, please don't compliment me. I don't like compliments."

"There's no need to exaggerate. You are good-looking, well-proportioned, and well-educated, so it's only natural for you to have a waving tail." Chen Shuifen said.

The two of them talked as they walked ahead. The cinema was in the south, and Xu Yuting's house and Zhong Jing's house were both closer, so they didn't walk over there, but agreed to wait for them at the fork in the road halfway.

When the two of them arrived, Xu Yuting and Zhong Jing were already there.

Xu Yuting also wore a skirt today, but Zhong Jing wore the same outfit as usual, looking very plain. It was mainly because of her current status. If she dressed up a little, it might cause bad influence.

Seeing them coming over, Xu Yuting said quickly, "You're finally here. Didn't we agree to wait here at 6:30? Look, it's already been more than ten minutes."

Chen Shuifen said, "Doesn't Teacher Lin need to dress up? Do you think Teacher Lin looks good today? I guess when Captain Li saw her, he would be dazzled."

Xu Yuting and Zhong Jing both looked at Lin Tao. Zhong Jing said, "It seems that Teacher Lin hasn't changed at all in the past two years. She's still as pretty as when she first arrived on the island."

Xu Yuting nodded and said, "If you ask me, Ah Tao's skin is really good. In fact, my skin used to be quite fair, but I got a lot darker after being on the island for a few years. Look at Ah Tao's skin, it doesn't seem to be tanned at all. If I tell others that she is from our island, who would believe it?"

Everyone agreed and laughed. No matter how fair-skinned you were before, after living on the island for a few years, you will get tanned to some extent. But Lin Tao was so fair and clean, she didn't look like someone who lived on an island at all.

Only Xu Yuting noticed something was wrong when she looked at Lin Tao's skin color, and asked Lin Tao: "A Tao, what's wrong with your mouth? It's so red?"

Chen Shuifen quickly took a look and said, "Could it be that Captain Li kissed her, hahahaha."

Lin Tao blushed, and cursed Li Chengxi in her heart, then quickly said, "No, no, don't talk nonsense, it's because we fried chili peppers at home today, and they were too spicy, and my mouth turned red from the spiciness."

Regardless of whether people believe this explanation or not, they just laughed it off. How can you really find out so much about the affairs between a couple? Besides, the couple has a good relationship, isn't that good? Chen Shuifen just said it for fun.

Although she liked to joke with Lin Tao sometimes, she still knew her limits and would not say anything that would make others feel embarrassed.

The movie started at seven o'clock. Lin Tao brought some homemade fried pumpkin seeds and other snacks from home. Xu Yuting and the others also brought some food to eat while watching the movie. A movie takes more than an hour to watch, and if you don't eat something, you always feel unsatisfied.

When we arrived at the cinema, the movie had just started. Because today was the Dragon Boat Festival, there were quite a lot of people watching the movie.

However, this film is not as popular as films like "Land Mine Warfare", "Heroic Sons and Daughters" and "Tunnel Warfare". If such war films were shown on the island, the cinema would definitely be packed. However, few people watched this film, and most of those who came to watch it were art soldiers from the art troupe.

Lin Tao, Xu Yuting and Zhong Jing were all absorbed in watching the film. However, Chen Shuifen took a nap at noon in order to watch the movie in the evening. But as she watched the movie, she felt that she could not understand what the movie was about and fell asleep.

When the movie was over, Lin Tao woke her up and said, "Sister, the movie is over."

Chen Shuifen then wiped her saliva and said, "It's over, let's go back quickly."

She also said that this movie was not as good as "Land Mine Warfare" and "Heroic Sons and Daughters". These two movies had been shown on the island several times, but every time Chen Shuifen watched them, she was very focused and excited. Even at night, she would dream of holding a grenade in her hand and going to blow up the Japanese.

Lin Tao and the others laughed when they heard this. They thought the movie was pretty good.

After coming out of the cinema, the four of us went back together.

Walking on the road, the sea breeze blew, bringing with it the fishy and salty smell of sea water. When Lin Tao first arrived on the island, she was a little uncomfortable with the smell, but now she has already adapted to it.

Now when I walk on the road and see some sea cockroaches crawling past my feet, I won’t be too scared.

A few of them chatted and laughed, and even sat on a rock to enjoy the sea breeze for a while before deciding to go back.

Everyone took a flashlight, and there was no need to send them off. They just said goodbye at the fork in the road. Lin Tao and Chen Shuifen lived together, so they came back together. Until they got home, Lin Tao was still thinking, this kind of life is really good.

With just a few good friends around, there is nothing to worry about. The family is happily together, and Aunt Fang, who is far away in Xiangcheng, has someone to take care of her, so they don't need to worry.

When they got home, Lin Changhai and Zheng Youde had finished playing chess. Lin Changhai was sitting in the yard. When he saw Lin Tao coming back, he said, "You're back?"

"Well, Dad, why don't you go to bed yet?" Lin Tao asked.

"Now that you're back, I'll go to sleep." Lin Changhai stood up and said, "The bath water is ready and poured into the kettle. You can take a bath later."

"Well, I know. Dad, you go to sleep." Lin Tao smiled and said.

Her father was still the same as when they lived in Xiangcheng. If she didn't come home at night, he would sit in the yard and wait for her. He would not feel relieved until she got home. In fact, if Lin Tao didn't come home at night, she would go to Aunt Fang's house, but her father was always worried and would not fall asleep until she came home. Sometimes he would even wait for her halfway.

This feeling is really good. No matter how old you are or whether you are married and have children, in the eyes of your parents, you will always be their child.

When Lin Changhai entered the room, he was still reminding Lin Tao: "The lights will be turned off soon, so hurry up and turn them on."

Lin Tao responded and did not dare to delay any longer, and hurried to pour water to prepare for a bath.

When she went to the room to get some clean clothes, Li Chengxi was still awake and reading a book. When he saw that she was about to take a shower, he glanced at the time and asked her to hurry up.

But just as she finished her shower and was about to get dressed, the light flickered and went out. Lin Tao was helpless and wanted to find a flashlight. Fortunately, she was afraid that the light would suddenly go out before taking a shower, so she brought a flashlight with her. However, it was too dark in here.

Her eyes had not had time to adjust to the darkness and she could not see anything for the moment. At this moment, a ray of light shone in. It was Li Chengxi.

There were only a few people at home. Knowing that Lin Tao was taking a shower, Lin Changhai would not come in. When Lin Tao came in, the door was not locked. Li Chengxi happened to open the door. He lit a kerosene lamp. The light was a little dim, but he could still see clearly in front of him.

Lin Tao subconsciously put her hands over her chest. Although they were an old married couple, it was embarrassing to do this. Li Chengxi saw his wife's body under the dim kerosene lamp, and his throat moved, but he did nothing.

It was pitch dark here, and he came to take Lin Tao back to her room. She was timid, and he was afraid that she would be scared.

Lin Tao quickly put on her clothes. Li Chengxi handed the kerosene lamp to Lin Tao and went to pour out the water in the bucket.

"Are you scared?" Li Chengxi asked.

Lin Tao shook her head: "Fortunately, I guessed that the lights might go out while I was washing, so I brought a flashlight in."

Lin Tao waved the flashlight in her hand, and Li Chengqi took her hand, walked into the house, and locked it. The two walked into the bedroom, and Lin Changhai had fallen asleep. He would snore loudly when he slept, which could be heard outside, but not in the bedroom.

"How was the movie? Was it good?" Li Chengxi marked the books he had read and put them back in the bookcase.

"It's pretty good. Yuting, Teacher Zhong and I all like watching it." Lin Tao said, and was about to talk about Chen Shuifen.

Li Chengxi then replied, "Then Sister Chen will definitely not like to watch it."

"Really? My elder sister fell asleep while watching the movie. She even said that the movie was not good and that Land Mine Warfare was better." Lin Tao said. Noticing that Yueyue was still sleeping, she asked, "Has Yueyue been sleeping until now? Did she wake up during the whole process?"

"She woke up for a while, and I read her a passage from How the Steel Was Tempered, which made her fall asleep," Li Chengxi said seriously.

Lin Tao was amused by these words. This kid is really something. Now Li Chengxi's study has become her lullaby.

She watched Yueyue's sleeping face for a while, and she thought her daughter was really pretty. When she sat on the bed for a while, she said, "Also, I told you that it will definitely be discovered. You are not allowed to act like that again next time. It's so annoying. My elder sister is making fun of me again..."

Lin Tao was so angry that she was about to strangle Li Chengxi again, but was suddenly hugged by Li Chengxi.

Lin Tao clearly said that she wanted to settle accounts with Li Chengxi, but the accounts she settled were too unfair, and instead she was hugged and tortured by Li Chengxi several times.

Finally, her body was so limp that she had no strength left, and Li Chengxi took her off his body, let her lie on the bed, and took her place on top.

Lin Tao once again felt that Li Chengxi really had a body of iron.

After another unpleasant end, Lin Tao lay in Li Chengxi's arms, panting. Her fair cheeks were flushed red. She wondered in her heart, when did Li Chengxi become less physically strong?

Li Chengxi didn't know what Lin Tao was thinking. If he knew, he would probably have to settle accounts with her.

After the Dragon Boat Festival, time passed very quickly. It felt like no time had passed and all of a sudden it was time for the final exams.

The students in Lin Tao's class are about to enter junior high school. Their test scores this time are quite good. If they go to school outside the island, at least half of them will be able to enter the No. 1 Middle School in the city.

The No. 1 Middle School in the city is the best middle school in the mountain city, and it was the school that students on the island wanted to enter the most. But now that the junior high school has started to be built on the island, the students of this class are not willing to go to study outside the island. They all want the junior high school to be built as soon as possible, and it would be best if they could stay on the island to continue their junior high school studies when school starts.

So these students all made an appointment to finish their summer homework early, and after finishing their homework, they would go to the construction site to help together!

Before the summer vacation finally arrived, Lin Tao got a promotion.

After the principal had a talk with her, Lin Tao became the dean of studies. Shengshan Primary School did not have this position before because it was too small with only a few teachers and it seemed that there was no graduate selection for a dean of studies.

However, the junior high school department was about to be completed, and new teachers would arrive in the next semester. Shengshan School would become better and better, so the principal considered it and let Lin Tao serve as the director of studies at Shengshan School.

Lin Tao was promoted to the position of dean. No one in the school had a different opinion. Everyone felt that Lin Tao had strong personal abilities and taught well. Students and teachers liked her. She was the perfect person to be the dean.

After the summer vacation, the days go by slower.

Without the hustle and bustle of going to school in the morning, Lin Tao would sleep in with Yueyue in the morning. She would get up at the same time as Yueyue, and it felt like she had slept her whole body off.

Lin Tao took advantage of the summer vacation to make a new set of clothes for Yueyue. Yueyue's height was probably inherited from Li Chengxi, so she grew very fast.

My hair, which wasn't very long before I was six months old, has slowly grown since summer vacation, and my hair quality is pretty good. This may be because I can eat more complementary foods and my nutrition is more balanced.

Yueyue's hair is nice, but it's not good to have long hair in summer. Little girls sweat easily, and their heads sweat after playing for a while. Lin Changhai loves his granddaughter, and whenever he is at home, he must watch over her with a palm leaf fan and keep fanning Yueyue.

At night, Li Chengxi would also fan Lin Tao and Yueyue with a palm-leaf fan.

After summer, there were more mosquitoes. Lin Tao even made a small mosquito net that could be unfolded and folded for Yueyue's bed, for fear that mosquitoes would bite Yueyue.

Yueyue was born at a lucky time, just after October. The hottest season of autumn had passed by then, and the weather on the island had become cooler. There were no mosquitoes and it was not hot either. The weather was especially suitable for newborns.

Now that summer has arrived, it has become hard to endure. Children's skin is tender, and if they are accidentally bitten by a mosquito, it will swell up. Last time, Yueyue's little hand was bitten by a mosquito, and it immediately swelled up like a steamed bun.

The little guy was not a timid one. He just felt very uncomfortable when his hands were hurting and itchy at first, so he cried for a while. But then he forgot about it when he had something delicious to eat.

Lin Changhai, on the other hand, was a little depressed because of this incident. He felt sorry for Yueyue, because he was watching Yueyue and accidentally let Yueyue get bitten by a mosquito.

In fact, it's not really his fault. Mosquitoes are too small and fly too fast, so there are always times when you can't keep an eye on them.

However, in the following days, Lin Changhai was very alert, and Yueyue was not bitten much. Lin Changhai would pat Yueyue's body with a fan from time to time, and even if there were mosquitoes, they were driven away.

Lin Manman got some ointment from the health center, which can disinfect and reduce swelling. After applying it for a few days, the small bumps on Yueyue's hands disappeared.

Yueyue's hair had grown longer, so Lin Tao suggested cutting it for Yueyue. Lin Changhai cut Yueyue's hair. The little guy was quite cooperative and not afraid at all.

In fact, Lin Changhai had cut Yueyue's hair on the Dragon's Head Day on February 2nd this year. He cut a small tuft in front of her forehead, which was the hair she had been carrying since birth. Lin Tao tied it up with a small rubber band and put it in a small pouch.

The pregnant rabbit at home gave birth to another litter these two days, with five or six baby rabbits.

In order to prevent other rabbits from stepping on the little rabbits, Lin Tao separated them, putting the other rabbits in one nest and the mother rabbit and the little rabbits in another.

Rabbits give birth so quickly that they have a whole litter in the blink of an eye. The cages at home can hardly hold all of them.

So Lin Changhai suggested killing rabbits to eat.

In fact, people in Sichuan and Chengdu eat rabbits. There are many kinds of rabbits in their specialty dishes, such as fried rabbit meat, brine rabbit meat, rabbit head...

When Li Chengxi was studying in Sichuan, he also ate rabbit meat. It tasted really good.

However, all the rabbits at home were raised by Lin Tao, and he was afraid that Lin Tao would develop feelings for them, so he never mentioned killing the rabbits and eating their meat.

When his father-in-law brought it up, Li Chengxi didn't say anything, but just listened beside him.

To be honest, these rabbits were raised by Lin Tao. She feeds them vegetable leaves every day and she has really developed feelings for them. Most importantly, these rabbits are not like the chickens and ducks at home, which were raised for meat and eggs in the beginning. Now she is not sure whether to kill them for meat.

But after thinking about it carefully, I realized that there were too many rabbits at home. Rabbits reproduce quickly, and if I didn't kill them and eat them, they would die after a few years.

Finally, Lin Tao nodded and said, why not kill the rabbit and eat its meat.

The killing of the rabbits was done by Lin Changhai and Li Chengxi. Lin Tao couldn't bear to watch it, so she took Yueyue to Chen Shuifen's house to play.

When Lin Tao came back, she was still the one who cooked dinner. Li Chengxi had already cut the rabbit meat, washed off the blood, and blanched it. Although it looked different from the pork bought from the food factory, they were fried in the same way once put into the pot.

First pour the oil in, then add the garlic slices, ginger and peppercorns when the oil is hot, then add the rabbit meat and stir-fry. Lin Changhai also picked a few orange leaves from Chen Shuifen's house and threw them into the pot as seasoning.

Not to mention, the rabbit meat fried by Lin Tao is really delicious.

Li Chengxi had eaten rabbit meat ten years ago when he was studying in Sichuan. He hadn't eaten it since he came to the island. This time he ate it again and it tasted really good. He drank some wine with Lin Changhai and his father-in-law and ate happily.

In fact, Lin Tao had eaten rabbit meat before. When he was a child, his father went to the mountains to pick mushrooms and caught a rabbit. Aunt Fang fried it deliciously. Lin Tao ate two big bowls of sweet potato rice.

The rabbit meat raised at home is much fatter and richer than the wild rabbits in the mountains, unlike the wild rabbits which are all bones.

This time, two were killed in a row and they became particularly plump. The fried food filled two large bowls. Lin Tao gave some to Chen Shuifen, Xu Yuting and Zhong Jing's families.

Li Chengxi went to deliver the rabbit meat to Xu Yuting's house. When Wang Yuanliang saw the small bowl of rabbit meat, he was very happy and said that he had graduated for so many years and he didn't expect to be able to eat Sichuan Cheng's specialty rabbit meat again.

He also asked Li Chengxi in a low voice how he had persuaded Teacher Lin to kill the rabbits and eat the meat. His teacher Xu really treasured this litter of rabbits. He was very greedy but didn't dare to bring it up.

Li Chengxi pointed at the bowl of rabbit meat and said, "Maybe after your teacher Xu eats it tonight, he will be willing to kill and eat the rabbit meat."

The rabbit meat was so delicious that Wang Yuanliang and Xu Yuting ate quite a lot of it that night. As Li Chengxi had guessed correctly, Xu Yuting finally let go after eating the rabbit meat.

Her rabbit is also pregnant. Her family doesn't grow vegetables, so they rely on Lin Tao's family for vegetable leaves. Sometimes they even have to cut some grass to eat. Raising too many rabbits is quite tiring.

After Zhong Jing found out that Lin Tao's family had killed rabbits, she smiled and said, "Actually, we eat rabbits at home, too. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to feed them if they gave birth to too many. But since we saw that you guys enjoyed feeding them, we didn't mention killing them for food."

Lin Tao said: "It was my dad who brought this up. I really didn't think about it in this way at first."

Rabbit meat tastes even better than chicken, and even the bones are crispy. With a little spicy flavor, it is a great dish to eat with wine or with rice.

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

Throughout the summer vacation, the children in Lin Tao's class ran to the construction site.

Although those children could not provide much help, they greatly encouraged the workers. If the junior high school could be built earlier, the children could stay on the island and continue their studies.

The junior high school was completed in early August.

It was a brick building, quite bright and spacious. Before that, the principal had ordered a batch of new desks and chairs and had them moved into the new classroom.

Everyone was very happy to know that these children could continue to attend junior high school on the island.

However, Ma Xiaoying still had to go abroad to study, because she was able to live in the dormitory because of Yang Ai Dang's help. The troops were recruiting recently, and there might not be vacant beds in the dormitory by then. Moreover, this back door could not be kept open all the time.

There was no way before, as Ma Xiaoying only had one semester left to study, but they allowed her to live there. But it was no longer possible after she entered junior high school.

Ma Xiaoying felt a little disappointed because of this, so Lin Tao went to find her and said, "In fact, the teaching conditions at the No. 1 Middle School are very good. You have good grades, so you will definitely go there this time. It's great. Many of our classmates are also there, so you can find them when the time comes."

Ma Xiaoying understood in her heart, so she bowed to Lin Tao and said, "Thank you, Teacher Lin. After I go to No. 1 Middle School, I will study hard and not bring shame to Teacher Lin or Shengshan School!"

……………………

In late August, we had news from the Education Bureau that the teachers had arrived and were finally assigned. Shengshan Primary School had three teachers, so the school had to send people to pick up the teachers.

Originally, the principal was planning to pick him up in person, but she had been busy with junior high school affairs for several months. She had not been in good health to begin with, and recently caught a cold. She had to go to the clinic for injections every day, so she was unable to go to pick him up.

In the end, the task of picking up the person fell on Lin Tao. Fortunately, this time, she could go there in the morning and come back in the afternoon at the latest, so she didn't have to spend the night outside the island. Otherwise, Yueyue, the little girl, wouldn't be able to find her mother at night and would probably cry again.

I don’t know why, Yueyue is now ten months old. People say that older children are easier to take care of, but Yueyue has started to become attached to Lin Tao.

Lin Tao guessed that it might be because of the summer vacation. She stayed at home with Yueyue every day during this summer vacation. The more she spent with her, the more inseparable they became. Maybe when school starts again, Lin Tao will go to school to teach, and Yueyue will get used to it, and then she will be better.

Lin Tao took the morning ferry, and Li Chengxi saw her off to the dock and watched her get on the boat before leaving.

As soon as Lin Tao got on the boat, she started to close her eyes. She found that it seemed that she was not so easy to get seasick. This method was really effective. There were actually some winds and waves on the sea today, but she only felt a little dizzy.

After getting off the boat, she took the bus to the Education Bureau. The same guard who blocked her entry was still in the guard room.

Last time, when Wei Yingzi was there, the guard tried to stop her but failed. Lin Tao guessed that this time the guard would definitely find an excuse to prevent her from going in. However, there was no rule that the principal had to come in person to pick up the teacher this time.

Lin Tao handed the letter of introduction to the security guard and was about to open it.
