The summer harvest in Songjiang Commune was over, and the villages began to transport grain to the county town. The grain station asked the Armed Forces Department through the Pigeon Committee to send grain to the grain station in Northeast Province.
Wu Jun and Lin Zitao arranged for the team to transport the food, while Lu Shiyi went to training to avoid suspicion.
The Academic Affairs Office notified that the teachers teaching in the next semester would go to school for re-education. Yunfeng and Su Jin went to school together to attend the class. After Su Jin had breakfast and packed up his things, he went out with Yunfeng.
As the two were walking on the street, Su Jin noticed that Yun Feng looked gloomy. He had mentioned that Yun Feng wanted to stop going to school. Since she resigned as the head teacher, the students' attitude towards her has become better.
Because Yunfeng has been serving as the head teacher for many years, some students are jealous of her after each batch of students graduates.
"Xiao Jin, I don't want to be a teacher next semester. Lao Lin said the situation outside is getting worse and worse, and it's been difficult to be a teacher these past two years." Yun Feng whispered, "Ever since I stepped down as head teacher, I've found that I don't have to worry about those things anymore. Even the students' attitude towards me has improved."
Su Jin listened to Yun Feng's words and fell into deep thought. Many family members resigned from their jobs and stayed at home. The ostensible reason was to take care of the children. The team members had more opportunities to go on missions, and it would be better if there was someone at home to take care of them. But in fact, they were worried that something might happen to their family members.
"Sister-in-law, do you want to quit your job?" Su Jin turned her head and looked at her. "Xiao Lei and Xiao Yan also took the advance exam. They can study at home and take the final exam. You will be much more relaxed."
Yunfeng sighed and said, "Xiaolei and Xiaoyan are considerate of us. Many children in the courtyard are clamoring to go to school. Sister-in-law, have you discussed quitting your job with Minister Lu?"
Su Jin thought about quitting her job and staying at home. On the one hand, she was going to give birth in the second half of the year, and there would be no one to take care of her at home, and she would have to take care of herself even during the confinement period.
"Sister-in-law, I'm thinking of resigning." Su Jin discussed this with Lu Shiyi after the New Year. There has been no one teaching mathematics to the eighth grade students. There are several months between the end of the semester and summer vacation, so the principal should be able to find a teacher.
"Sister-in-law, now that we have made the decision, let's go to the school to resign today." Yun Feng looked at the increasing number of red armband team members on both sides of the street, and she was sweating all over.
When Su Jin passed by the alley, he looked towards the other side and found that the alley was no longer as lively as before.
"Sister-in-law, the black market has also closed down." Su Jin whispered to Yun Feng.
"It should reopen later. It's been too busy lately." Yun Feng sighed. She noticed that the pedestrians on both sides of the street were in a hurry. If there was nothing wrong, there would be no pedestrians outside the street.
The two talked as they walked, and after arriving at the school, Yunfeng and Su Jin went to the teaching office together.
Yunfeng held Su Jin's hand with her right hand as they walked into the office, and saw the principal and the dean of studies accompanying several members of the pigeon committee.
"Are you two sisters-in-law here to study?" Peng Hui looked at the two military wives in his office with a smile on his face. "Teacher Su should be giving birth in the second half of the year, right?"
"Yes," Su Jin nodded, "I'm leaving school in October, so I'm thinking of quitting my teaching position first."
The principal tried to persuade Su Jin to stay. He taught the eighth grade students very well. In just one semester, the students developed a strong interest in learning.
"Teacher Su, how about waiting until you give birth and then come back to class in February?" the principal asked hurriedly.
Su Jin waved her hands repeatedly: "Principal, neither Ayi's nor my elders can come to help. After the child is born, I can only take care of it by myself."
After hearing what Su Jin said, the principal had to give up persuading her. The child would not come to school at least until he was three years old.
"In this case, Teacher Su will have to wait until she sends the children to kindergarten before coming to work at school. The gate of our school will always be open for her." The principal signed the resignation application.
"Teacher Yun, you submitted your application during the final exam. Don't you plan to take it back?" The principal looked at the two teachers in front of him and just wanted to keep them.
Yunfeng has worked diligently in the school for many years and has been the director of the junior high school department for 7 years. The principal, the dean of studies and others all affirm her work ability.
"Yes, Principal. Lao Lin's work has been getting increasingly busy, and he's hoping someone can stay home to take care of the family and the children." Yun Feng looked at the principal and said, "My sister-in-law and I have the same idea. We're thinking of resigning early so the school can find a teacher."
The principal finally gave in and signed Yunfeng's resignation. After the two of them finished their resignation from the school, they stopped by the supply and marketing cooperative.
"Sister-in-law, I see the principal and the dean want to keep us here. Isn't it hard to find a junior high school teacher?" Su Jin asked Yun Feng curiously, "Why does the principal insist on keeping us here?"
"I have worked in the school for many years. As the situation worsened, the principal hoped that the teachers would be military dependents, and Peng Hui had no choice but to do nothing." Yunfeng understood the principal's thoughts better, and they also had to consider their families.
Su Jin followed Yun Feng out of the supply and marketing cooperative. She planned to buy white sneakers for the brothers Lin Lei and Lin Yan. After Yun Feng resigned, the family's expenses had to depend on Lin Zitao's allowance.
In front of the meat stall of the supply and marketing cooperative, Su Jin ordered two more pig's trotters and two pairs of offal, and decided to go back and make something delicious.
The two of them walked back carrying the things. Yunfeng looked at the things in her hands and smiled at her.
"Xiao Jin, please let me be your assistant. Lao Lin has told his family that he will no longer send allowances home." Yun Feng said helplessly, "Luckily, Lao Lin stood by me and rejected his family's request."
Su Jin listened to Yun Feng talking about the Lin family, and she could only act as a qualified listener.
Lin Zitao and Yunfeng did not mention their resignation to their family, hoping that the whole family would be safe in the next few years.
"Sister-in-law, I will teach you when the time comes. Cooking at home is the most practical." Su Jin whispered to comfort Yun Feng.
Ever since Yunfeng learned how to cook from Su Jin, she has been spending more and more time cooking at home, saving a lot of money on eating in the cafeteria.
"Sister-in-law, I really want to thank you. My family has saved a lot of food expenses in the past few months." Yun Feng expressed her gratitude.
"Sister-in-law, cooking requires practice to become proficient." Su Jin praised.
The two returned to the family compound. Lin Lei and Lin Yan were leading the children to play basketball. When they saw Yun Feng coming home, they dropped their basketballs and ran over.
"Mom, aren't you going to school?" Lin Lei was worried that Yunfeng would be targeted.
When Lin Yanjin was in junior high school, many senior students gave him trouble, always saying that Teacher Yun was too strict and left them no time to play. But when they started working, they found out why Yun Feng was so nice to them.
"Xiao Lei, go play. Xiao Jin and I will go back and make dinner." Yun Feng reached out and touched his head. "Mom has been home with you guys these past few years."
After getting Yun Feng's assurance, Lin Lei immediately ran to the court cheering.
Su Jin looked at the interaction between the mother and son, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
