Chapter 98

Shen Jiahao stood outside the classroom for two classes. It was not until noon that Zhong Jing allowed him to go back to the classroom to eat.

Shen Jiaping came to bring him food, but Shen Jiahao was angry and ran home without eating.

Lin Hui was still on sick leave, staying at home. Shen Guobin had gone on a mission a few days ago and was not at home. Shen Jiahao ran back and rolled up his sleeves to show Lin Hui.

Seeing her beloved stepson covered in red marks, Lin Hui was so angry that her eyes widened and she asked, "Who beat him like this?"

Shen Jiahao gritted his teeth and said, "It was Zhong Jing who hit me, Mom, she hit me!"

"Why did she hit you?" Lin Hui was so angry that her eyes turned red. This was her precious son whom she couldn't bear to hit or scold. He was going to be the richest man in the future!

Shen Jiahao: "I just wrote a word on the toilet and she beat me!"

"Just wait, mom will seek justice for you!" Lin Hui was so angry that she didn't care about her back pain anymore and ran to school with Shen Jiahao in her arms.

It was lunch time. Some teachers went back to the dormitory to rest after lunch, while others stayed in the office and took a nap.

Xu Yuting didn't have art class this afternoon, so she took Xiao Qingming home.

Since Lin Tao started teaching junior high school, she sometimes has classes in the afternoon. Today she had a class, but she was in the classroom. She was not in the office when Lin Hui came.

Lin Hui rushed to the office. Zhong Jing was just getting ready. As soon as she arrived, she started to scold: "Didn't the school say that it would oppose corporal punishment of students? Zhong Jing, what do you mean? Are you deliberately going against me? Didn't I say that you two are shameless. You are obviously from the "five black categories" and yet you are with the military families? You took away the teaching position that originally belonged to me, and now you beat my son. Do you have any shame? Where is your principal? Where is the principal? I'm going to complain to you! How can you, a wife of a "five black categories", be a teacher? Why did you beat my son!"

Although this was the first time Zhong Jing met such a parent, she already knew what kind of person Lin Hui was.

Facing Lin Hui's unreasonable behavior, Zhong Jing responded calmly, and told her what Shen Jiahao had done recently, saying, "The school is against corporal punishment, but if students who don't listen and can't be taught are not educated well now, they will become pests of society and scum of the country in the future. It is not entirely the teacher's responsibility to educate children. Parents should set an example and educate their children well. Blindly spoiling them will not raise good children."

What Zhong Jing said made sense, and she was not on the same level as Lin Hui.

But Lin Hui didn't listen to her at all. She was sure that Zhong Jing was against her. Her Shen Jiahao was going to do big business and become the richest man in the future. A pest of society? A scum of the country? Zhong Jing was just talking nonsense!

And when he heard Zhong Jing say that Shen Jiahao insulted women, he said nonchalantly how could it be an insult to women, don’t women have that thing?

This is really...

Everyone present was amazed at how Lin Hui could say such a thing. She was a high school graduate, not one of those illiterate country women who thought that having a son was a treasure and would put the female reproductive organ near her mouth.

But after Zhong Jing told her what Shen Jiahao had done, she didn't think Shen Jiahao had done anything wrong? With a mother like her, it's no wonder she could raise a son like Shen Jiahao.

Zhong Jing and Ren Ying couldn't stand it anymore and argued with Lin Hui, thinking that she shouldn't be so nonchalant about such a serious matter.

Who knew that Lin Hui rushed up like crazy and tried to grab Zhong Jing. Xie Cong happened to come over and blocked Zhong Jing, and was hit by Lin Hui on the neck, leaving several bloody marks.

"Do you know what you are doing? Beating a teacher. I can report you immediately!" The bloodstain on Xie Cong's neck soon oozed blood. He didn't even frown, and stood in front of Zhong Jing to prevent Lin Hui, the crazy woman, from hurting Zhong Jing.

The reason he came to the island was because the sports outside the island were so exciting.

The five black categories were beaten and their homes were searched by the Little Red Soldiers. Many were caught and had their hair shaved like yin and yang. They were taken in for questioning from time to time. Some were fine when they were seen last month, but when they were seen again a month later, they were mentally ill...

He was afraid that Zhong Jing was also experiencing the same thing, or would experience the same thing in the future, so he came to the island immediately.

He didn't know if he could protect Zhong Jing with his own ability, but at least this time, he would stand in front of her. Zhou Wen's current identity definitely made it impossible for him to protect Zhong Jing. He couldn't even protect himself. If Zhong Jing was willing to divorce Zhou Wen, then he would definitely be able to protect Zhong Jing.

Xie Cong had this idea in mind before going to the island.

But after Zhong Jing talked to him that day, he realized that it was no longer possible for Zhong Jing to be with him.

He didn't dare to have the same thoughts as before, but at least, he would protect Zhong Jing to the best of his ability.

At least, if the movement really came, he couldn't just watch Zhong Jing and his colleagues being driven crazy!

With Xie Cong around, Lin Hui couldn't win, so she loudly said that Zhong Jing was unworthy of being a teacher and that the wife of a member of the five black categories was not worthy of teaching in a school.

Zhong Jing's identity is indeed very sensitive. Recently, there has been a lot of movement outside the island, but even if she is on the island, she can still continue to be a teacher.

Originally, she thought that she might not be able to continue teaching if a new teacher came to the school. However, after the new teacher came, the principal did not ask her to leave the school. Instead, he talked to her and told her not to be nervous. She taught very well and the students liked her very much. As long as sports were not popular on the island, she could continue to teach in the school.

On the other side, Shen Guobin had just finished his mission and was exhausted. When he got home, he found that Shen Jiaping was the only one at home, sitting on the doorstep, so he asked him, "Where's your mother?"

Shen Jiaping said: "Mom went to school. My brother was disobedient. He didn't listen in class, bullied female classmates, and scolded the teacher. The teacher taught him but he didn't listen, so he was beaten and made to stand. My brother came back and told Mom, and Mom wanted to seek justice for him."

After hearing this, Shen Guobin was so angry that his temples were throbbing.

This Lin Hui, while he is not at home, is going to do something stupid again. I have told her long ago that this is his critical period. If he does not get promoted, he will most likely stop at the deputy battalion commander in the future. Then he will have to retire like Lao Jin in a few years. What will he get if he retires so early? He must at least get promoted to the regimental level first.

Shen Guobin's face darkened and he followed her to the school, where he saw Lin Hui scolding Zhong Jing for being the wife of a member of the five black categories and saying she was unfit to teach.

Lin Tao was originally in the classroom. When she heard the noise, she came out and stood in front of Zhong Jing to stop Lin Hui from going crazy.

"Lin Hui, you don't need to repeat Teacher Zhong's identity. The style of our party and our army is not to engage in collusion. If the organization does not allow it, Teacher Zhong will not continue to teach in the school. But since Teacher Zhong can continue to teach in the school, it means that she can do it." Lin Tao said.

"And the reason why Teacher Zhong punished Shen Jiahao this time is that he did something wrong. As a parent, you not only don't educate your child, but also make trouble in school. Is this the example you set for your child? With a parent like you, can you raise a good child? Shen Jiahao, at a young age, bullied female classmates, talked frequently in class and didn't listen seriously. This time he insulted the majority of female compatriots. Is it wrong for Teacher Zhong to educate him and let him remember today's lesson?"

Lin Tao's every word was powerful and clear, explaining the whole process clearly. Even if someone who was not aware of the situation heard it, they would be able to clearly know whose fault it was.

Lin Tao and Lin Hui formed a sharp contrast. In Shen Guobin's eyes, one was like a fairy from heaven, and the other was an ignorant woman from the countryside.

He didn't understand why he had listened to his parents' advice and decided to replace Lin Tao with Lin Hui! If he had married Lin Tao instead of Lin Hui, how happy would this family be? As for Lin Hui, he looked down on her more and more.

When Lin Hui heard Lin Tao talk about these educational methods, she felt inexplicably guilty.

Because in their previous lives, Shen Jiahao and Shen Jiayi were so successful under Lin Tao's education. But she was unwilling to admit that these two children were successful because of Lin Tao.

It is obvious that these two children are talented. Shen Jiahao has a lot of business acumen at a young age, and Shen Jiayi is much prettier than when she was a child. After her "cultivation", Shen Jiahao has already said that he will start a business when he grows up, and Shen Jiayi sometimes performs according to the comic books, and she looks very realistic!

Yes, these two kids are promising. What does it have to do with Lin Tao?

Lin Tao was a thing of the past life. In this life, she is the mother of these two children. What is Lin Tao? Isn't she just married to a man who is the leader of a group? She really thinks she is a nobody.

Lin Hui was not convinced and retorted, "You and Zhong Jing are good friends, so of course you spoke on her side. How old is Jiahao, what's wrong with saying a few words? Can't he just joke with a female classmate? Is it necessary to beat a child like that? You are teachers, and you beat my child like that? Anyway, you must give me justice today! Either Zhong resigns or apologizes to Jiahao, otherwise I will not leave!"

Ask a teacher to apologize to a student who made a mistake?

This is totally unheard of.

Xie Cong said: "As a military family member, you beat up a teacher. Do you want to give me justice today?"

"Who hit you? I'm going to argue with Zhong Jing, but you were the one who got in here. Who are you to Zhong Jing? Are you here to stand up for her? Her man isn't here, you don't think you have anything going on with her, do you?" Lin Hui was desperate and started splashing dirty water on Zhong Jing.

She didn't know the story between Xie Cong and Zhong Jing, she just said this on purpose to be mean.

But when Zhong Jing and Xie Cong heard this, their faces turned unhappy. Xie Cong was speechless. Zhong Jing said, "Don't talk nonsense!"

At this time, Shen Guobin finally came over and called out to Lin Hui, "Lin Hui, don't you think this is embarrassing enough?"

When Lin Hui saw Shen Guobin, her face changed and she quickly explained: "Guobin, it was Zhong Jing who beat Jiahao. Look at the way the child has been beaten. He is in a terrible state..."

But before she could finish her words, Shen Guobin kicked Shen Jiahao and shouted angrily, "Don't you know what you have done? Did I let you come to school just to let you bully female classmates again? Why don't you kneel down and apologize to the teacher?"

Shen Jiahao was kicked but stood there without moving.

Lin Hui advised Shen Guobin: "Why are you hitting the child again? The child was just hit..."

"Shut up! You've spoiled me!" Shen Guobin yelled at Lin Hui and kicked Shen Jiahao, "Hurry up and kneel down!"

As he said that, he kicked Shen Jiahao's knee hard again. Shen Jiahao took a few steps back and fell to his knees on the ground.

"I admit my mistake!" Shen Guobin said through gritted teeth.

Shen Jiahao gritted his teeth and said to Zhong Jing word by word: "I was wrong..."

But when he looked up at Zhong Jing, his eyes were so terrifying that Zhong Jing took a step back. This child, who was less than ten years old, had such a terrifying look in his eyes!

Not only Zhong Jing, but even Lin Tao felt her scalp tingling. For some reason, Lin Tao had no good impression of the people in the Shen family except Shen Jiaping. She couldn't help but frown when she saw them and wanted to stay away from them.

After Shen Jiahao admitted his mistake, Shen Guobin took Shen Jiahao and Lin Hui back home.

Lin Hui wanted to say something, but was glared at by Shen Guobin.

After they left, the farce was over.

Lin Tao supported Zhong Jing and asked, "Teacher Zhong, are you okay?"

Zhong Jing shook her head and smiled at Lin Tao: "Teacher Lin, thank you for standing up for me just now."

Lin Tao said, "It's okay, is Teacher Xie okay? Is your neck injured?"

Xie Cong shook his head to indicate that he was fine.

Ren Ying said, "That person just now really seemed like a shrew. She didn't look very old, no more than 30 years old, but how could she be as unreasonable as those 50- or 60-year-old aunties in the countryside? Fortunately, her husband is a reasonable man and didn't join in the trouble."

Lin Tao did not comment on Ren Ying's words. But she subconsciously felt that Shen Guobin was not as good as Ren Ying thought, and the reason he came here was probably because he was afraid that Lin Hui would cause trouble and affect his career.

Xie Cong's neck was bleeding. Although the injury was not serious, Zhong Jing felt very sorry because Xie Cong was scratched by Lin Hui just to protect her.

So she went to the clinic specifically, bought some medicine for Xie Cong, and brought it to him.

She didn't even mention applying medicine to Xie Cong. After all, their identities were very awkward. Since Zhong Jing didn't have that intention, she naturally chose to keep a distance from Xie Cong. After she delivered the medicine, she said thank you and didn't say anything else.

Xie Cong knew what was going on and didn't say anything more.

On the other side, Zhou Wen had just gotten off the fishing boat when he was stopped by someone: "Old Zhou, I heard that a student's parent went to the school to look for trouble with your wife, Teacher Zhong. Go check on them quickly to make sure nothing happens!"

When Zhou Wen heard this, he didn't even have time to clean up the fish and ran to the school.

However, when he arrived, Shen Guobin had already taken Lin Hui back. He saw Zhong Jing handing the medicine to Xie Cong. In fact, he knew that Zhong Jing was not the kind of person who would have something with another man behind his back, even though Xie Cong and Zhong Jing were both teaching here.

He had no doubts about Zhong Jing.

But looking at Xie Cong wearing a neatly ironed Mao suit, I looked at my own patched clothes and the mud spots all over my body. My hair hadn't been trimmed for a long time, and it even had fish scales on it, and I smelled like fish...

He felt very sorry for Zhong Jing.

If it weren't for him, Zhong Jing could have lived a good life.

Before Zhong Jing turned around and noticed him, Zhou Wen turned and left.

Zhong Jing didn't know all this. After handing the ointment to Xie Cong, she went back to class.

The incident involving Shen Jiahao would not end so easily. Shen Jiahao's behavior was too bad. Although he was forced to kneel down and apologize by Shen Guobin, the school still had to accept his attitude. So when the principal came to the school and learned about the incident, he punished Shen Jiahao.

Shen Jiahao had to write a letter of apology before he could return to school to attend classes.

Their Shengshan School can accept students who have reformed, but not those who are unwilling to admit their mistakes.

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

When Lin Tao returned home from school, Chen Shuifen came to her and asked her about what happened at school.

It was almost autumn again, and Chen Shuifen started knitting a sweater for Zheng Xiangyang. While knitting, she said that the child had grown up so fast in the past two years, and he was different every year. The sweaters she knitted for him in the past two years no longer fit him. The family didn't have enough money and tickets to buy new wool, so they took apart Zheng Xiangyang's old sweaters and added some wool to knit a new sweater.

Chen Shuifen asked, "Teacher Lin, I heard that Lin Hui came to your school to cause trouble again today?"

Lin Tao was quite surprised. She hugged Yueyue and asked her with a smile, "Big sister, you are really well-informed. You knew what happened at noon right away."

"Aren't the two children now studying in school? They came back and told me so," said Chen Shuifen.

"Did Hongxing say that?" Lin Tao guessed it right away.

The personalities of the two brothers Zheng Xiangyang and Zheng Hongxing are quite different. Zheng Xiangyang doesn't pay much attention to these things. After he comes back, he doesn't talk much about school matters with Chen Shuifen. At most, he will show her the test paper after the exam.

Zheng Hongxing, on the other hand, likes to make noise and share school affairs with his mother Chen Shuifen.

Chen Shuifen smiled and said, "That's what the brat said. When I asked him again, he couldn't explain it clearly, so I thought of asking you what's going on."

Lin Tao then told Chen Shuifen about what Shen Jiahao had done. After hearing what Shen Jiahao had done, she frowned and said that if it were Zheng Xiangyang and Zheng Hongxing, she would beat them both to death.

He is such a hooligan at such a young age. What will he be like when he grows up?

Lin Tao said: "That's right."

Chen Shuifen added, "But there is one thing I can't figure out. I don't know what Lin Hui is thinking. As a stepmother, she dotes on her children even more than the biological mother. I don't even dote on my two little brats that much, but she treats her children like her own babies. As soon as she gets her salary, she goes to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy meat for her eldest son."

Lin Tao didn't quite understand this.

To be honest, she grew up with Lin Hui, and Lin Hui didn't look like a selfless person. As for why, Lin Tao recalled what Lin Hui had said to her at the beginning, and guessed that it was because Lin Hui couldn't have children, so she wanted to treat these children as her own.

But it's strange to say that, because she is only nice to the two older ones, and doesn't seem to be that nice to Shen Jiaping.

Logically speaking, she married Shen Jiaping when he was very young, and she was the one who raised him, and she was especially close to him because she was young.

But Lin Tao was not interested in Lin Hui's affairs, and was too lazy to think about her.

Chen Shuifen chatted with Lin Tao for a while and then went home to cook dinner.

Lin Changhai was killing a fish, a sea bass. Both turbot and sea bass are the kind of fish that only have one bone. All you need to do is remove the big bone and there will be no bones in the fish meat. You can safely use it to make fish balls for Yueyue.

Ever since Yueyue ate the fish balls Lin Tao made for her last time, she has completely fallen in love with them. Every time Lin Tao makes them for her, she can eat a lot.

Seeing that Yueyue liked it, Lin Changhai would go buy turbot or sea bass from time to time.

After a while, Li Chengxi also came back.

As soon as he walked into the yard, he opened his arms to Yueyue: "Daddy, hug me."

Lin Tao reminded him: "Go wash your hands and change your clothes. Did you go to the training ground today? Look at you, you are covered in dust."

Li Chengxi smiled, then realized that he had indeed gone to the training ground today, and his clothes were all dirty, so he needed to change clothes.

Lin Changhai raised his head and said with a smile: "Chengxi, Ah Tao has been controlling us both. She also scolded me today."

Li Chengxi chuckled and said, "A Tao is doing this for our own good."

After hearing this, Lin Tao couldn't help laughing. She wasn't that fond of gossiping.

Li Chengxi washed his hands and changed into clean clothes before coming over and picking up Yueyue.

Lin Tao suggested, "It will be the Mid-Autumn Festival in about ten days. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, it will be Yueyue's first birthday. We won't have to hold a big party then. We can just invite the eldest sister's family, Yuting's family, and Teacher Zhong's family to come to our house for a meal and have some fun. What do you think?"

Lin Changhai: “I think it’s pretty good.”

Li Chengxi had no objection to this, so the matter was settled.

Today we roasted large intestines and pork livers at home. A pig had just been slaughtered on the island, so Lin Changhai went to queue up early and bought the offal.

The offal includes the large and small intestines, liver, stomach and lungs. It is quite cheap, but in Xiangcheng at that time, if the commune slaughtered pigs, many people wanted to buy offal because it was cheap.

But on the island, Lin Changhai has a son-in-law who is a group leader, and Lin Tao is a teacher at the school. The combined salary of the couple is not low.

So when Lin Changhai went to buy some pork offal today, everyone was quite surprised. They joked that he shouldn't be so frugal, and that Captain Li's family could still afford a meal of meat.

Zheng Youde happened to be buying meat, and when he saw Lin Changhai, he said, "Old Lin, what's the matter with you? Why did you buy pig offal? What's so delicious about pig offal? I'll ask Shuifen to roast some pork tonight, and you can come to our house for dinner."

At that time, Lin Changhai just smiled at Zheng Youde and said nothing. Zheng Youde said this now, but he would not say this again when Ah Tao cooked the dishes in the evening.

It’s no wonder that Lin Tao’s skill in preparing pig offal is second to none.

Pig offal may sound unpleasant, but if it is cooked well, it tastes even better than pork.

A set of pig offal cannot be eaten in one meal, so Lin Tao planned to roast a large intestine and pig lungs today, and cook the remaining pig liver and pig stomach tomorrow.

The weather has been cooling down recently, so it won't go bad so quickly if you leave it overnight.

Lin Changhai cleaned the pig intestines in the morning. Pig intestines taste good, but they are troublesome to clean. However, Lin Changhai and Lin Tao both like to eat pig intestines, and Lin Changhai has his own way of cleaning them. After washing them more than ten times, the intestines were clean inside and out.

Lin Tao went to the vegetable garden to pick a few peppers, washed them, dried them, cut them, and crushed some garlic heads and pinched a handful of garlic leaves. After preparing all these, she went to light the fire to heat the pot, poured rapeseed oil in it, and when the oil was hot, she could put the peppers and garlic slices into the pot.

The chili peppers were a bit pungent when put into the pot, so Li Chengxi took Yueyue to the yard so that Yueyue would not be choked by them. The garlic slices were fried slightly and the fragrance burst out, then the fatty intestines were thrown into the pot and stir-fried.

In fact, Lin Tao feels that there is no special skill in stir-frying. Just stir-fry it like this. When it is almost time to serve, add some salt, a little soy sauce, and then pour in the garlic leaves that have been chopped and prepared previously.

Garlic leaves do not need to be fried too much, they are most fragrant when they are half-cooked.

Orange leaves are actually a good seasoning for cooking. They make cooking delicious and can effectively remove fishy smells. Lin Tao put a piece of orange leaf in the pork intestines. When the fat intestines were almost done, the fragrance spread out of the kitchen as if it had legs.

Lin Changhai was still cleaning the pig lungs. When he smelled the fragrance, he couldn't help drooling.

How long has it been since he had the pork intestines cooked by his daughter?

Li Chengxi smelled the fragrance and couldn't help but take a look inside. Through the window, she saw Lin Tao cooking in the kitchen. It should be almost ready. She picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of fatty intestines. The fatty intestines were cut into about the length of two fingers, which was just right, not too big or too small. She ate them one bite at a time and felt very satisfied.

Lin Tao is testing whether there is enough salt. Every time she cooks a dish, she will test it before taking it out of the pan to make sure it is not too bland or too salty.

The fatty intestines tasted crispy and chewy, and needed to be chewed several times before being swallowed.

But Lin Tao just likes the taste of pig intestines. On the contrary, she feels that the braised pig intestines she had eaten in state-owned hotels before were not tasty because they were cooked for too long and they did not have the crispy and chewy feeling of pig intestines.

There is a lot of oil in the fat intestines, but Lin Changhai has already removed a lot of oil when processing the fat intestines. Although everyone is short of oil and water in their stomachs these days, there is too much oil in the fat intestines, and eating it will cause diarrhea.

Lin Tao's family now has a pretty good life. They can eat meat from time to time, and because seafood is cheap on the island, they can eat fish almost every day. It's not like the famine in previous years, when everyone even ate tree roots.

There is some oil left in the fat intestine. When you put it in your mouth, the toughness of the fat intestine and the oil bubbles wrapped in the large intestine mix together, and it is extremely fragrant.

Lin Tao hadn't eaten the stir-fried pork intestines she made for a long time, and she was so hungry when she ate it now.

However, no matter how hungry you are, you have to wait until later to eat.

The fried pig intestines came out of the pot and were brought out by Lin Tao and placed on the dining table. Then they fried the pig lungs, which also needed to be cleaned well, cut into slices, and marinated with cooking wine. After marinating, they were fried with chili peppers, and the taste was very good.

Many people think that pig offal is not good, but in fact they just don’t know how to prepare it. If it is roasted well, it can be much more fragrant than pork!

In addition to stir-fried pork intestines and stir-fried lung slices, Lin Tao also cooked two side dishes, one was stir-fried tomatoes with chili peppers. In Xiangcheng, there is a saying, "Stir-fried foreign chili peppers", and the foreign chili peppers here refer to tomatoes.

The fried tomatoes with eggs are sweet and sour, and the fried tomatoes with chili peppers have another flavor. They taste great when eaten with rice. If Lin Tao had eaten this when she was a child, she would have eaten several bowls of it.

But the family conditions at that time were not very good. We couldn’t eat white rice like we do now. At that time, we ate sweet potato rice and cornmeal with a little rice.

Another one is fried sour radish shreds, which were pickled by Lin Tao herself. She not only pickled sour radish shreds, but also pickled sour radish slices and radish stems. She removed the radish leaves and left the stems, which she pickled into kimchi. It is good to eat for fun or as a side dish with wine.

After a busy day, tonight's dinner is finally ready.

Of course, Lin Tao didn't forget Yueyue's fish balls. The little girl loved them so much, so she had to let her have some. And it's good for children to eat fish. They say eating fish is smart.

Lin Tao didn’t care whether eating fish could make one smart or not. Since Yueyue liked it, she cooked it for her.

But she can't just eat fish, she also has to eat vegetables. This little girl is less than one year old, but Lin Tao has found that she doesn't like vegetables. When she was younger, Yueyue had never eaten fish balls and minced meat, and she was willing to eat vegetables. Lin Tao made mashed potatoes and spinach for her, and she was willing to eat them.

But since I started eating fish balls and minced meat, I don’t really want to eat them anymore…

This child, at first glance, took after Li Chengxi. He also liked to eat fish, but if Lin Tao cooked vegetables, he would definitely eat them, but he just didn't like them that much.

Lin Tao thought that even a father could be subdued by her, not to mention Yueyue. If the little girl didn't want to eat vegetables, she wouldn't give her fish balls and minced meat, even if she cried.

After repeating this twice, Yueyue finally understood that if she didn't eat vegetables, she wouldn't be able to eat fish balls and minced meat. So when Lin Tao gave her vegetables, she would eat them happily, because after eating the vegetables, she could eat other things!

Li Chengxi put Yueyue on her special chair, helped to serve the dishes, and served the rice. The family was ready to eat.

Next door, at Chen Shuifen's house, Chen Shuifen was cooking braised pork in the kitchen. Zheng Youde instructed Zheng Hongxing to wash his hands, which were extremely dirty.

Zheng Hongxing, this naughty boy, is still the same naughty boy after going to school. On the way home, he is always covered in mud and is beaten up by Chen Shuifen as soon as he comes back. Now that he has stopped howling, he starts to wash his hands and prepare for dinner.

Suddenly, Zheng Youde sniffed and said, "Red Star, do you smell it? What's that sweet smell?"

"It's the hot pot pork cooked by my mother." Zheng Hongxing said nonchalantly, and sniffed again, "It doesn't seem to be that. It seems to be the smell coming from Aunt Lin's house. Dad, Aunt Lin's family must have cooked something delicious again..."

Zheng Hongxing drooled when he thought of Lin Tao's cooking skills: "Dad, I really want to be Aunt Lin's son..."

Zheng Youde patted him on the head. Chen Shuifen, who was standing by, didn't hear what the father and son said afterwards, but she heard them say that it smelled delicious. She brought out the hot pot pork that had just come out of the pot and said proudly, "What else could smell so delicious? It must be the hot pot pork that I cooked. You three, father and son, are in for a treat today. Work hard, there's plenty of steamed buns for you today."

I won’t say much about Chen Shuifen, but the iron pot stews, pot-wrapped meat, pork stewed with vermicelli, and pancakes she makes are really amazing, and everyone who has eaten them says they are delicious.

Today, we were cooking hot pot steamed meat at home. She was afraid that there would not be enough steamed buns and that the three ferocious father and his two sons would not have enough to eat, so she steamed a little more.

But at this moment, Zheng Hongxing said, "Mom, it's not the smell of the hot pot meat you cooked, it's the smell of Aunt Lin's house, it smells so good! Mom, I still want to be Aunt Lin's son!"

Chen Shuifen: “…”

She wants to beat this boy, what should she do?

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

At Lin Tao's home, a family of four was happily eating dinner.

"A Tao's roasted pork intestines are delicious, Cheng Xi, you should eat more." Lin Changhai said.

Li Chengqi fell in love with it as soon as he took a bite. It turned out that he had not yet fully appreciated his wife's cooking skills.

Lin Tao stir-fried tomatoes with chili peppers and mixed them into the rice, which tasted really delicious.

She wanted to do the same thing when she was little, except that she didn't have white rice. Now she can finally eat her fill.

Yueyue was also eating her favorite fish balls, one at a time, chewing them carefully with the eight teeth she had grown.

After dinner, Li Chengxi took the initiative to wash the dishes, and Lin Changhai also helped to clear the table. Lin Tao felt that she had eaten too much today, so she went for a walk in the yard, planning to wait for Li Chengxi to finish washing the dishes, and then the family would go out for a walk to digest the food.

Lin Changhai lifted Yueyue above his head and let her sit on his neck.

At first, Yueyue was a little scared, but she became happy once she sat on it. She smiled so much that her eyes narrowed into crescents in the sky and she held her grandfather's forehead with both hands.

Lin Changhai said: "Fly, fly, Yueyue is flying."

Lin Tao looked at her father and Yueyue with a smile on her face. She remembered that when she was little, her father would also hold her like this, asking her if she had fun today and what she had played.

At that time, she was bullied in the village. She was afraid that her father would worry, so she didn't want to tell him, so she would say, "I'm so happy today. We went to the mountain to pick May bubbles with everyone. May bubbles are so sweet. Dad, next time I will bring the teacup from home to the mountain and pick a teacup for you!"

In the blink of an eye, so many years have passed, she has grown from a little girl to an adult and a mother.

Fortunately, she met Li Chengxi and married him, so that she could bring her father to the island as well, and their family could stay together and not be separated.

Yueyue was addicted to sitting and refused to get off Lin Changhai's neck. Seeing this, Lin Tao went to hug Yueyue and said, "Yueyue, get off. Grandpa is tired."

Yueyue was also well behaved, and was carried down by Lin Tao. Both grandpa and grandson were sweating profusely after playing. Fortunately, the sea breeze blew over at this time, which was quite cool.

Lin Tao was afraid that Yueyue would catch a cold, so she quickly took a handkerchief and wiped the sweat off Yueyue's head.

Li Chengxi had already washed the dishes, and the family was getting ready to go out for a walk, but unexpectedly Zhong Jing showed up at this moment.

Zhong Jing said to Lin Tao, "Teacher Lin, I have something to tell you. Are you free?"

It was not completely dark yet. Lin Tao was close to Zhong Jing and could tell at a glance that her eyes were red and her nose was also a little red. She must have just cried.

Lin Tao asked Li Chengxi to hold Yueyue and said to them, "Chengxi, Dad, take Yueyue out for a walk. I have something to talk to Teacher Zhong about."

Li Chengxi and Lin Changhai had nothing to say, so they let Lin Tao go, it would be fine.

Lin Tao and Zhong Jing had walked out for a short distance when Zhong Jing said, "I'm so sorry, Mr. Lin, for troubling you."

Lin Tao looked at Zhong Jing, sighed, and said, "Teacher Zhong, please don't be polite. Tell me what happened. Did you have another fight with your lover?"

"Yeah." Zhong Jing nodded, "But this time it's more serious. He said he wants to divorce me."
