The two children really got along very well. They put their heads together, read comic books together, and spoke in a language that adults could not understand. Whether it was Lin Yiyi or Teacher Zhang, as long as one of them had no classes, they would take the children for a walk and play with them for a while, which made other teachers in the office envious. Unfortunately, their children had grown up. Of course, some people had their own ideas in their hearts. They thought that Lin Yiyi should not bring her children to school, and decided to secretly write a letter to Principal Ren.

In the afternoon, when the students were having self-study classes, Lin Yiyi went home.

After dinner, Lin Yiyi asked Xiao Yu to take the child while she went to the Bei family's home. Originally, she didn't want to disturb the Bei family because they were already very upset. It would be inappropriate for her to go there alone. But now she is the head teacher of the second grade class. Today she found that Li Wanda didn't come, so she should go and find out more about the situation.

When Lin Yiyi arrived, the Bei family had finished their meal. Captain Li was playing with the puppy in the yard while Bei was washing. Captain Li smiled when he saw Lin Yiyi and said to Bei, "Wife, Miss Lin is here."

Lin Yiyi saw that Captain Li was not affected by Lin Le's miscarriage. Perhaps it was because men don't like to think too much. For Captain Li, this was not a big deal.

However, Lin Yiyi noticed that Bei's dark circles were a bit dark, so she hurriedly asked, "Sister-in-law, have you been okay these days?"

Bei sighed: "Come, sit inside."

Lin Yiyi: "Hey, haven't I become a substitute teacher at school? I am now substituting for Teacher Lin Le's class for one semester, which is only three or four months. I saw that Wanda didn't go to school today. What happened to him?"

Speaking of Li Wanda, Mrs. Bei's eyes turned red. "I can't do anything about this child. We didn't want what happened to Teacher Lin Le to happen, but the child can't be blamed for this. Everyone knows that children like to play, and it's okay for children to play in school during recess. To put it bluntly, Teacher Lin Le didn't know she was pregnant and she just showed it to the children. Can we blame our Wanda? But that being said, after all, she lost her child, and we felt bad about it. I gave her 600 yuan as a consolation in our hearts. After losing 600 yuan, we don't owe her anything. Anyway, I think our Wanda shouldn't be blamed for this."

Lin Yiyi asked, "Did she take the money?"

Mrs. Bei said, "I went to her house yesterday and gave it to her in her room, but she was lying on the bed and didn't want it. But I left the money and left. She was in confinement after childbirth, so how could she come out to give it to me?"

For a modern person like Lin Yiyi, 600 yuan is certainly not much, but in this era, 600 yuan is a lot. Not to mention a miscarriage caused by a car accident, even a life that has already been born is not worth 600 yuan, so Lin Yiyi was very surprised that Bei's company compensated Lin Le with 600 yuan, but she did not ask, after all, human life is not measured by money, and talking about human life and money seems indifferent.

Lin Yiyi: "It's good to give money. We can feel comforted and have a clear conscience."

Mr. Bei: “No, that’s exactly what I mean.”

Lin Yiyi: "What happened to Wanda? Why doesn't he go to school?"

Ms. Bei: "He doesn't want to go to school now. He is afraid to go to school. Teacher Lin Le bled a lot when she had a miscarriage that day, and the child was scared. In addition, I beat him when the accident happened, so he became even more worried. It was also my fault. I shouldn't have beaten him after this happened. I should have talked to him properly." But whose child hasn't been beaten like this?

Lin Yiyi: "Where is Wanda now?"

Bei: "In the room, every day after eating, I would hide in the room to sleep. Even if I couldn't sleep, I would just lie down with my eyes closed."

Lin Yiyi was a little worried when she heard this: "Then don't rush to send him to school. School is where the incident happened, and the child will have a psychological shadow. However, this is the first time I have encountered a child who reacts so negatively. Generally speaking, if a child accidentally hits a pregnant woman or someone has an abortion, the self-reaction is not so serious. Wanda's case makes me a little worried."

Mrs. Bei: "That is to say, this kind of thing has happened in our hometown, but other people's children are not like this." So Mrs. Bei is nervous.

Lin Yiyi: "I think it's better to observe him at home for a few days. If he is still silent after a week, we have to go to the hospital. There are doctors specializing in psychology in the hospital who can counsel Wanda. After all, doctors are more professional."

Mr. Bei: "Well, what you said makes sense. I'll wait a few days and see. If it's still the same, I'll take him to see a doctor."

After chatting with Mr. Bei for a while and knowing the situation here, Lin Yiyi was slightly relieved, but Li Wanda's matter was still a little worrying. Such a young child was stimulated, and if it was not handled properly, it would have a great impact on him.

However, Lin Yiyi thought that the matter was almost over, but she didn't expect that there would be a sequel when she went to school the next day.

Lin Yiyi was on duty today, so she had to supervise the self-study of the first and second graders. Lin Yiyi taught the first half of the class to the first graders, and the second half to the second graders. At 11 o'clock in the afternoon, she and Lin Wujun went home after school.

Because it was late, I made egg fried rice for lunch. The leftover rice was cooked early in the morning, so I made it very quickly. At noon, Lin Yiyi made dumplings, chive and egg dumplings, and planned to have dumplings for dinner after school in the afternoon. Because I made dumplings for lunch, I was a little late when I went to school, and it was almost time for class.

As soon as Lin Yiyi arrived at school, Teacher Zhang said to her, "You just arrived? Grandma Lin Le just came."

Lin Yiyi was stunned: "Grandma Lin Le is here?" Her first thought was, Grandma Lin Le is not going to cause trouble for Sister Bei's family, right? There is no way, she has read too many top-notch articles, and she has the same idea whether any relative who comes here is top-notch. "What is she doing at school?"

Teacher Zhang smiled and said, "You didn't know that, did you? Her mother-in-law said that Lin Le's miscarriage was serious and she was too weak to have sequelae. Living in a tube-shaped building and climbing stairs was too harmful to her health. She hoped that the army would give her a new house where she didn't have to climb stairs."

At this time, a teacher said: "Isn't it just that you want a small courtyard with your own door and door?"

Another teacher said, "Given the rank of Lin Le's husband, he can only live in a tube-shaped building when he follows the army, right? Her husband is not high enough to apply for a small courtyard with a private entrance."

"She just took the opportunity to apply for the insurance because she had a miscarriage this time. After all, a miscarriage at school is considered a work-related injury."

Lin Yiyi listened to their words and shook her head with a smile. It must be said that all women like gossip. However, she was also curious whether Lin Le's family would move to a new house.

The news soon became known. When we went to the office the next day, we heard that downstairs from Lin Le's house was a small courtyard with its own entrance.

The army took Lin Le's situation into consideration and approved it. In the following days, everyone envied Lin Le. Although Lin Le had a miscarriage, she changed her house, and everyone started to talk about her jealously. However, Lin Yiyi felt that the person who came up with this idea was very powerful. Whether it was Lin Le or her mother-in-law, they could use the miscarriage to get benefits for themselves. It must be said that such people have quick brains. Even if Lin Yiyi herself thought about it, she would not have thought of it. She is a modern person who has read so many novels, but in terms of thinking, she is not as good as some people.

Lin Le's affairs, from miscarriage to house, have become one of the topics of discussion in the family compound. Before this topic has passed, Captain Li and Mrs. Bei are preparing to take Li Wanda to a hospital outside for medical treatment.

That evening, Lin Yiyi and her family were preparing to go for a walk after dinner when Mrs. Bei arrived.

Mrs. Bei: "Sister Lin, I want to ask you a favor." She said directly without beating around the bush.

Lin Yiyi asked Xiao Yu to go for a walk first, and took a stool and asked Mrs. Bei to sit down: "Sister-in-law, if you have anything to say, please sit down and talk." She did not say whether she agreed or not, but let Mrs. Bei speak first.

Mrs. Bei said, "Wanda has been acting the same these days. Lao Li and I are going to take him to the hospital, but we have a puppy at home, so it's not convenient to take him out, so I'd like to ask you to look after him for a few days. He can go to the nursery during the day, but I need you to pick him up at night, and he has to sleep at your place at night."

Of course Lin Yiyi agreed. Not to mention that she had a good relationship with the Bei family, even if their relationship was just average, she would still agree because of the relationship between Captain Li and Xiao Yu. After all, Captain Li was Xiao Yu's subordinate.

Lin Yiyi held Bei's hand and said, "Don't worry about Xiaogouzi. Don't worry about him. I will take good care of him. And don't worry too much about Wanda. Wanda is still young. We have a lot of time to accompany him and guide him slowly."

Mr. Bei: “I hope so.”

the next day

At about three in the morning, Mrs. Bei brought the puppy over, and the puppy was still sleeping soundly. There was no other way, as they had to take the boat to leave at five in the morning.

Lin Yiyi took the child to Lin Wujun's room, because Lin Wujun and Li Wanda often played together for more than a year, and Li Wanda would bring Xiaogouzi along, so Xiaogouzi also knew Lin Wujun as his brother. Xiaogouzi would feel better when he woke up and saw Lin Wujun.

In fact, it was true. When it was about six o'clock, Xiaogouzi woke up and saw Lin Wujun sleeping next to him. He was dumbfounded and couldn't help but wake Lin Wujun up: "Brother Wujun... Brother Wujun..."

Lin Wujun was pushed awake by Xiaogouzi: "Xiaogouzi, are you awake?"

Xiaogouzi nodded. He knew that his parents had taken his brother to see a doctor. They told him yesterday and told him when they left in the morning. His mother also promised him that she would give him delicious food when they came back. Xiaogouzi was very well behaved. He had a good relationship with his brother and was also worried about him. Although he was young and didn't know some things, he knew that his brother had been silent and didn't play with him these days. His mother said that his brother was sick. If his brother didn't get better, he wouldn't be able to play with him in the future. So he hoped that his brother would get better soon so that he could play with him in the future. Therefore, he stopped making noises when his parents took his brother to see a doctor.

Little Dog: "I woke up. My mom said I have to go to the nursery when I wake up. I have to be good and my brother will get better."

Lin Wujun felt sad after hearing this. Li Wanda was his best friend, no one else. Although he had a good relationship with Zhang Jiaqiang and others, he and Li Wanda were the best. When his sister said that Li Wanda was sick and had to see a doctor, he was sad for a long time. In the past few days, Li Wanda did not go to school. He went to see Li Wanda, but the sick Li Wanda was silent, which made him very sad. He went to see Li Wanda several times with snacks made by his sister. Every time, Li Wanda lay in bed without saying a word. Lin Wujun felt that Li Wanda's illness might be very serious.

For this reason, he secretly asked his sister whether Li Wanda would die. Fortunately, his sister assured him that Li Wanda would not die, and he breathed a sigh of relief. Now that Li Wanda had gone to see a doctor, Lin Wujun felt that he should help take care of his good friend's brother. He got up, dressed Xiaogouzi, and then took Xiaogouzi out to wash.

Outside, Lin Yiyi had already gotten up and was cooking, and Xiao Yu also got up with Xiao Eleven.

Lin Yiyi: "Everyone is up. Today we welcome our new partner, Xiaogouzi, so we'll have wontons in the morning. Xiaowu, Xiaoyi, everyone, welcome Xiaogouzi with applause. Come on, clap your hands."

Lin Wujun and Xiao Shiyi followed Lin Yiyi in clapping. Xiao Shiyi found it very interesting and since Xiao Gouzi was his little friend, he clapped very hard.

Clap your hands, and everyone starts to eat. Xiaogouzi is already four years old and can eat by himself. Lin Yiyi's wontons have been cold for a while, so the children won't feel hot when eating them. Xiaogouzi and Xiaoyiyi eat a small wonton in one mouthful, enjoying it very much.

After dinner, Lin Yiyi first sent the puppy to the nursery next door and gave him some sweet potato chips. Lin Yiyi had thought about bringing the puppy to the teacher's office, but she thought it was inappropriate. After all, if she brought the puppy to the teacher's office, it would bring up the matter between Lin Le and Li Wanda again. Besides, the school agreed to let her bring her son to teach, and it would be a bit inappropriate if she brought someone else.

Xiaoguozi stayed at Lin Yiyi's house for three days before Bei Shi and Battalion Commander Li came back. When they came back, they brought gifts to Xiao Shiyi and Lin Wujun, each a pair of running shoes.

That afternoon, Lin Yiyi came out of school and saw Mrs. Bei waiting for her at the school gate. Mrs. Bei was going to the nursery to pick up the puppy, but she was worried that if she picked up the puppy, Lin Yiyi would be worried if she didn't see the puppy at the nursery, so she waited for her at the school gate.

Lin Yiyi was also surprised to see Mrs. Bei: "Mrs. Bei is back, how is Wanda?"

Xiao Shiyi saw Xiaogouzi beside Mr. Bei, and went over to hold the boy's hand. They went to school and went home together hand in hand every day, and they gradually got used to it in these three days.

Bei shook his head: "The doctor said that his condition is not suitable for going to school for the time being. He needs his family to guide him slowly and he needs good friends to accompany him often. So I was thinking, can I let Wujun come to my house to accompany Wanda every day after school? It doesn't take long, just half an hour."

Lin Yiyi: “What’s the problem? Let Xiaowu come over today.” Just take a break after dinner.

Ms. Bei: "In fact, the doctor also suggested that the person who tied the bell should be the one to untie it, but I know that's not true. Teacher Lin has lost her child, and they still ask her to comfort Wanda. Isn't that heartbreaking?" Moreover, through previous contacts, she also knew that Lin Le did not forgive her son and would not come to enlighten her son.

Lin Yiyi smiled. It was hard for her to say this, but she said, "Take Wanda on a picnic some other day. It might help to change the environment outside."

Ms. Bei: "Okay, we'll go when you're free. You're a teacher now, and you have a lot to do."

The two separated at the fork in the road near the family compound.

At noon, when the family of four was together, Lin Yiyi talked about Li Wanda's matter. Lin Wujun of course agreed with it, but said, "Sister, what should I say to Wanda?"

Lin Yiyi: "You can read to Wanda the texts that the teacher taught in Chinese class every day, or tell him about the interesting things that happened between friends."

Lin Wujun: "Okay."

Lin Yiyi added: "Wanda's mother bought you new shoes. You have to teach Wanda well."

Lin Wujun: "I know. Where are the new shoes?" Children always like new clothes and new shoes.

Lin Yiyi pointed to a stool beside her: "It's over there."

Lin Wujun: "I'll try after I eat a good meal."

Lin Yiyi: “Okay.”

After lunch, Lin Wujun tried on the shoes. There was a slight gap in the shoes. People of this era rarely buy things that fit them well, because they will wear them again next year. Lin Wujun put on the new shoes and squinted his eyes with joy. "Sister, do they look good?"

Lin Yiyi: “They look nice.” She did not buy shoes for Lin Wujun every year, but only bought him a pair every other year. But even so, among his children, he was already extremely happy.

Lin Wujun only tried it on for a while and then took it off. He was reluctant to wear it.

Xiao Yu: "I will go back to the brigade in two days to see those people." Those people were of course those who had been demoted and needed his secret care.

Lin Yiyi thought for a moment and said, "I prepared meat jerky, cold medicine, fever medicine, money and tickets for them. I thought the meat jerky was gone, so I'll go to the village to buy some shrimp jerky on Sunday. Shrimp jerky is durable and very nutritious, and it's as good for the body as meat jerky. They're in the cowshed, and it's hard to store other food, and there's nowhere to hide it, but shrimp jerky is easy to hide."

Xiao-Woo: "Okay."

On the weekend, Lin Wujun took Xiao Shiyi to the Bei family's house, accompanied Li Wanda, and Lin Yiyi went to the village. She bought dried shrimps in the village, and she also wanted to buy dried fish, but the dried fish in the village was raw and not delicious, while dried shrimps were edible even if they were raw, not to mention that dried shrimps were cooked before being dried, unlike dried fish.

After returning home, Lin Yiyi packed the dried shrimps. She bought a lot, but she packed about one pound. There are about 80 shrimps in one pound. Even if she eats two shrimps a day to replenish her body, it can last for a month. After a month, both she and Xiao Yu will go back to the team to check on them. In case something happens after a long time, they don't know what happened.

When it was Xiao Yu's turn to rest, he returned to the brigade with a pound of dried shrimps given by Lin Yiyi. Qin Xiangju was very proud to know that her son had returned alone and that her daughter-in-law had become a substitute teacher in the military school. There was no way, teachers were more respected than workers.

In the afternoon, Xiao Yu went to the cowshed of the Shanglin Production Brigade and observed Li Shengzhong's situation. Seeing that the old man was in good spirits, he was relieved. The main reason was that Captain Lin was a relatively upright person, so the atmosphere in the brigade was not bad. In addition, the people who were sent down lived in the cowshed and usually reclaimed wasteland. They also cultivated the land they reclaimed by themselves, and they would not be crowded with the villagers, so they avoided contact. If they avoided contact, everyone would not bully the people who were sent down. And if someone deliberately went to the cowshed to bully them, normal people would not do that.

Therefore, compared with those who were sent to other places, Li Shengzhong and others were relatively comfortable. Except for the poor food and half of the work points of the villagers, they were relatively relaxed in terms of the environment.

After observing them, Xiao Yu sneaked into the cowshed in the middle of the night the next day and put a bag of dried shrimps and a few boiled eggs next to Li Shengzhong's bed without anyone noticing. No one noticed his arrival, not even Li Shengzhong himself. But when Li Shengzhong woke up the next day, he saw something next to his pillow. He did not say anything, but opened the thing and saw a note inside: These things are for your health, don't save them, I will send them every month.

The handwriting on this note is exactly the same as that of the lesbian before.

Li Shengzhong was born in a military family, so he naturally knew that it was definitely not something a lesbian could do to have things delivered to him silently, so it must be the lesbian's husband who came.

Li Shengzhong packed the dried shrimps tightly and stuffed them into the straw pile in the hut. He took out the boiled eggs and secretly stuffed them into his grandson's pocket: "Eat them secretly later." He counted them and found that there were 6 boiled eggs. The weather was getting cooler in October, so the boiled eggs would not go bad even if they were left until tomorrow.

Xiao Yu did not leave in a hurry. He saw Li Shengzhong and his grandson secretly eating the boiled eggs before leaving and going to the dock of the Pak Ni Wan Production Brigade.

At this moment, it was not even seven o'clock yet, and he was rushing back to his unit before the seven o'clock boat.

Some people would stay in confinement for one month after a miscarriage, but some would stay in confinement for two months. Lin Le stayed in confinement for two months, and by the time she was done, it was already early December.

Lin Le, who had just finished her confinement, came to see Lin Yiyi.

Lin Yiyi was having dinner with her family. Lin Le came over with a bag of candy and a fish: "Sister Yiyi, are you home?"

Lin Yiyi was not familiar with Lin Le's voice. Although she had heard it several times, they were not acquaintances after all, so she was not familiar with Lin Le's voice. When she heard someone call her "Sister Yiyi", who did she think it was? When she went to the door, it was Lin Le. There was a man next to Lin Le. She had never seen this man before, but she estimated that he was Lin Le's husband.

Lin Yiyi: "It's Teacher Lin Le, please come in."

Lin Le and his wife walked into the house and saw Xiao Yu still eating. Lin Le's husband said, "Captain Xiao, you are still eating."

Xiao-Woo nodded: "Have you eaten?"

Lin Le’s husband: “I ate it.”

Xiao Yu didn't say anything else.

Lin Le gave the brown sugar and fish to Lin Yiyi: "Sister Yiyi, I just finished my confinement, so I haven't been out and about. Today I came to thank you for filling in for me."
