"Classmates, this is the end of our class. Please remember to complete your homework. The teacher will check it in the next class."
Lin Jingshu returned to the office, but before she sat down, Chu Miaomiao said, "Principal, I want you to go to her office."
"Did the principal say what it was?"
Chu Miaomiao shook her head and added, "It should be nothing."
The principal didn't look like he was in a bad mood.
"Okay, I'll go over there then. Thank you for telling me."
Chu Miaomiao: "You're welcome."
Lin Jingshu came to the office door and knocked lightly.
"Teacher Lin is here."
Lin Jingshu went in and found Director Gong was there too.
"Hello, Director Gong."
"Teacher Lin, this is the case. I came here this time to ask you something."
Lin Jingshu quickly waved her hand and said, "Director Gong, you're too polite. What's the matter?"
Lin Jingshu did not agree rashly. If this matter failed, it would be bad to shoot herself in the foot.
"Hongmei, don't be anxious, let's sit down and talk."
The three of them sat down.
Director Gong said, "There's going to be a gala on the island next month, and the publicity department of the art troupe is helping to prepare the drawings. Unfortunately, one of their comrades broke his wrist, and the workload is heavy, so they don't have enough staff. They wanted to know if we have anyone who's suitable."
"You said it was unfortunate, you were the first one I thought of."
"Going to the art troupe to paint?"
"It's not really an art troupe. It's just in front of the auditorium in front of the family compound. There's a large open space over there. We'll move the blackboard there for the exhibition."
This performance is the largest in the history of the island. Not only soldiers participate, but also nearby villagers come to watch the fun.
The leaders above meant to use it as a large blind date venue.
After all, so many soldiers are single. We promised to solve their personal problems when we recruited them, and we can't just not do anything.
Lin Jingshu had also drawn the promotional draft. It was not difficult. It was just a matter of transferring the paper to the blackboard, and the characters needed to be more three-dimensional.
"Look, do you want to go?"
Lin Jingshu didn't say anything and turned to look at Principal Peng.
"I'll listen to Principal Peng."
"You girl."
Director Gong laughed heartily, without a trace of anger in his eyes.
"I only have one art teacher like you, so you must take good care of her."
Lin Jingshu wanted to go a little bit. She only had one class every day and could go home after class. She had already sent out the drawings for this month.
Gu Chengze was on a mission and had not returned. Instead of staying at home and thinking about random things, she found something to do.
Finally, the three of them agreed that Lin Jingshu would go to the art troupe to help out on the half day when she had no classes.
The welfare benefits at the school remain unchanged, and Director Gong will apply to his superiors for rewards after the work of the art troupe is completed.
Since he was planning to find someone to help, Director Gong naturally negotiated the terms before coming.
"Okay, then let's settle it. I'll take you there tomorrow afternoon when I don't have classes."
Lin Jingshu: "Okay."
When she returned to the office, Chu Miaomiao had already gone to class. There was still more than half an hour before the get out of class ended, and Lin Jingshu was waiting for her in the office.
After the bell rang, Chu Miaomiao was nowhere to be seen. She must have been delayed for a while by something.
After a while, Chu Miaomiao came back hurriedly with her textbooks.
"Sorry Jingshu, after school, a student asked a question, so we were delayed for a while."
"It's no problem."
This is what being a teacher is like. Everything is centered around students. Naturally, Lin Jingshu wouldn't be so petty as to get angry about such a problem.
The two went to the cafeteria to get food first. While queuing, Lin Jingshu and Chu Miaomiao talked about going to the art troupe to help.
Chu Miaomiao smiled happily and said, "This is a good thing. Your painting is so good that more people should see it."
She had seen Lin Jingshu's draft paper before. Although she didn't look at it carefully, she could feel that his drawing style was very solid.
She thought about how before she moved to the staff quarters, some people laughed at her for being from the countryside and not being able to read or write. But she didn't expect that she was not only a high school student, but also a good painter.
I really want to see those people get slapped in the face.
Since she was the only one eating at home, Lin Jingshu only ordered one dish and one steamed bun to take back.
When she passed by the gate, the young soldier on guard called her and said that there was a letter from home.
As soon as she opened the door after returning home, Xiaobai ran over happily and circled around her.
Lin Jingshu rubbed its head and went to the chicken coop to check on the chicks first.
I grabbed a handful of millet and threw it over. The chicks immediately pounced on it. I also cut some vegetable leaves to feed them.
After feeding, Lin Jingshu washed her hands and sat down to read the letter.
It was still the familiar handwriting of my second brother, and the meticulous care of my parents.
His mother said that they had received the dried seafood that was sent back to them, and they had shared some with their good neighbors so that everyone could enjoy it together.
Afraid that Lin Jingshu would be too tired, he told her that as long as she knew that everything was fine on the island, it didn't matter whether they ate seafood or not, and she should not tire herself out.
At the end of the letter, his mother said that she had called her eldest brother, but for some reason he didn't answer. She was worried that something might have gone wrong, so she asked her to call home when she had time.
Lin Jingshu calculated the time. When her mother called, her eldest brother had already gone out on a mission. No wonder the two sides couldn't get through to each other.
After lunch, Lin Jingshu did not take a nap, but went out to call home.
Since Gu Chengze was not at home, it was not convenient to go to the office to make a phone call. Fortunately, the supply and marketing cooperative had a special telephone room for military families to use.
Of course, there is a fee.
Lin Jingshu made the call.
On the other side, at the Lin family's house, there was chaos.
Ding Xiangzhi was rarely angry and chased the second child around the yard with a feather duster.
"You little bastard, I asked you to go on a blind date but you refused. Are you planning to stay single at home?"
Lin Mu ran back and said, "Mom, I'm still young, and my elder brother hasn't even gotten married yet. Don't worry, as they say, good things come late. Maybe I'll marry you a top student in two years."
"Bah."
Ding Xiangzhi trotted over and swiped Lin Mu's butt with a feather duster, and Lin Mu jumped up.
"Oh my dear mother, why are you really hitting me?"
"Do you think I'm kidding you? You're just daydreaming all the time. Someone like you wants to marry a college student. You're not even fit to carry her shoes."
The mother and son chased each other, scaring the chickens walking in the yard so much that they spread their wings and flew away.
"What are you two doing?"
As soon as Lin Yongkang came back, he saw this noisy scene.
Lin Shan hurriedly ran behind him and hid.
"It's this brat who sent him on a blind date, and he ended up leaving the girl there and running off."
Ding Xiangzhi found someone to talk to and exposed all the bad things that the second brother had done in one breath.
Lin Yongkang glared at his second son and would settle the score with him later.
"I'll help you deal with him when we get back. Don't fight for now, my daughter is calling."
