Chapter 126 Discussing Changing Surname
The next day, Li He came to convey her intention. She was willing to be an art teacher in an elementary school. This news really made Lin Momo very happy.
On weekends, Lin Momo would ride her bicycle to several nearby villages and convey the news that the primary school was recruiting teachers. If anyone was interested, they could go to the school to take the exam on Monday.
This time, she was the one who wrote the exam papers, and the teachers were also responsible for copying book excerpts for the children. She had agreed to this in advance.
What Lin Momo didn't expect was that He Yu was also among those who came to take the exam.
"Are you preparing for your wedding?" Originally, they were going to Xu Zhengqing's hometown to hold a wedding.
"I and Xu Zhengqing have discussed it. We're going back to hold a wedding. As long as we have each other in our hearts, it doesn't matter whether we hold a wedding or not. Sister Momo and Brigade Commander Cheng didn't make it to the wedding either, but your relationship is still so good."
"You're not amusing me."
"So have you finished cleaning the house?"
As soon as Xu Zhengqing received the marriage report, he applied for a military housing in the military district.
"Well, have all the houses in the military area been cleaned up? Take some time to clean them up, and then you can move in."
The exam had been announced, so Lin Momo said goodbye to He Yu.
He Yu was admitted unexpectedly. This time the school recruited a total of 2 teachers.
What Lin Momo didn't expect was that now she only had to teach Chinese to first graders and serve as a first grade class teacher.
The principal directly assigned her a position as the dean of studies, and her main task now is to produce teaching materials.
"Director Lin, there is one more thing I need to trouble you with." The principal said to her with a smile.
"Principal, if you have anything to say, just tell me."
"It's about the physical education textbooks. I went to the city to look. You know that such things are scarce in our Tibetan areas. I didn't find any."
"What does the principal mean?"
"I heard that your family is from Beijing. Could you trouble your family to help us buy it from Beijing? We will pay for the money and tickets, including the transportation fee." The principal said with a somewhat embarrassed smile.
It’s bad enough to trouble Director Lin, but we also have to trouble his family.
"No problem, Principal." Lin Momo agreed immediately.
After returning home, Lin Momo went to the supermarket to look for it, only to find that those equipments could not be taken out in this era.
"Wife, what are you looking for?" Cheng Jinghao found someone at home and entered the space.
"I was looking for sports equipment, but I ended up taking them out. The principal told me to ask my relatives in Beijing to help buy some."
"You can do part of it yourself, and then write a letter to your eldest brother, asking him to help go to the Beijing Department Store to have a look." He looked at his wife who was disappointed and sat directly on the ground, squatting beside her.
"Do it yourself?" She looked up at him.
"Do you remember when we were kids, we played hoop rolling in the yard? We also played stilt walking and skipping rope. We played all of that."
"Oh, that's right. Why didn't I think of that? My husband is awesome. I'll leave these things to you. I'll go write a letter to my brother." Lin Momo stood up, patted him on the shoulder, and slipped out of the space.
Cheng Jinghao looked at his wife disappearing on the spot and laughed silently.
After the school recruited new teachers, the two elderly teachers chose to go home and rest.
Now teachers have more time to discuss topics together.
Lin Momo would select some teaching materials and copy them down at home in the evening, and then bring them to school the next day to discuss with the teachers.
She also added a nature class every week for students above grade three, which she taught to the children herself.
She registered which village all the children in the school came from and where they lived, and also registered the children who were going home together.
Every time after school, I watched them leave the school together.
Ten days after Lin Momo sent the letter to Lin Ze, Lin Momo received a package from Lin Ze.
It was at this time that Jingshi Department Store could buy all kinds of equipment, and with what Cheng Jinghao did, the children finally had time to play with sand in physical education class.
This day, after class, Lin Momo just walked to the gate of the yard, and heard the loud singing of Commander Chen.
The triplets' favorite thing to do now is to ask their grandfather to sing revolutionary songs for them. At over one year old and one month old, the children can already walk.
When Grandpa sang, they would circle around him and sometimes even fall down on their butts.
"Dad, just spoil them. Drink some water quickly. Your voice is a little hoarse." Lin Momo hurried into the house, brought out a teacup and handed it to Commander Chen.
"The old man has been singing since they woke up from their nap." Xiao Zhao said with a smile.
"Mommy, Mommy." The three children gathered around Lin Momo's feet.
"Mom will miss grandpa when she comes back. Grandpa is sad." Commander Chen pretended to be sad and immediately asked the children to run to him.
"Grandpa, hug me." Ever since the dumplings and noodles started sleeping with Commander Chen, the noodles have been sticking to Lin Momo and started to stick to Commander Chen for hugs.
"You guys play with grandpa, mom is going to cook." She touched the three little heads.
"You take a rest. You just came back. I'll let Jinghao come back and do it later." Commander Chen spoke quickly.
I just rode my bike all the way and haven’t sat down to rest yet, so I’m going to cook.
"I shared a piece of braised pork with the canteen today. You like it. My cooking is better than Jinghao's." She said with a smile.
"That's right, that's right." Commander Chen laughed. The braised pork cooked by his daughter-in-law is the most delicious.
Not long after Lin Momo entered the kitchen, Cheng Jinghao came back.
"Dad." Tangyuan ran to his feet like a cannonball, and Cheng Jinghao was just about to bend down and pick her up.
"Go help your wife cook." Commander Chen's attitude towards his son was exactly the same as his attitude towards his daughter-in-law.
"Got it." He glanced at the old man and went into the kitchen.
"Why are you waiting for me to come back to do it?" Cheng Jinghao washed his hands and prepared to take over the work from her.
"Today I'm going to make braised pork."
Lin Momo suddenly looked at him and stopped what she was doing.
"What's wrong?"
"Have you ever thought about something?" She leaned in front of him and asked in a low voice, glancing at the door.
"What's going on? You're being so mysterious."
"놚놊놚, talk to your parents and change Noodles' last name?"
"You mean, your last name is Chen?" He looked at him.
Lin Momo nodded gently, "You see, in our era, children have the same surname as their mothers, and the given name is just a code name, but it's the same in this era."
"I want Dad to truly feel that we treat him sincerely, and I want him to be happy."
While listening to her words, Cheng Jinghao nodded.
Before, he thought the name was just a code name and didn't think much about it, but after hearing what Lin Momo said, it did make sense.
"Then I'll write a letter and ask later?"
"Yes. We need to consult my parents about this matter and get their consent." She looked at him and said, "By the way, please send some dried meat back, and also send the jacket I made earlier."
"good."
