Lin Yiyi did not accept the brown sugar and fish. She pushed the things back and said, "You have just come out of confinement and your body has just recovered. You should replenish your body. Besides, if I substitute teach at school, the school will also pay me, so I should thank you for introducing me to this opportunity." Even though she did not need this opportunity.
Lin Le said: "No, if you hadn't agreed to substitute for me, the students would have fallen behind in their studies because of my situation."
Lin Yiyi smiled and shook her head: "There will be others to take over the class... You should rest well now and stop thinking about these things. Your classmates will welcome you back at the beginning of the year."
Lin Le: "Although Sister Yiyi is a substitute teacher, she can change her job. Does Sister Yiyi plan to stay in school next year?"
Lin Yiyi: "I don't plan to stay in school. I take my children to live in my hometown for a few months every year, so that they won't forget their grandparents when they grow up. This year I was away for three or four months and will be back in mid-September."
Lin Le: "You are so filial."
Lin Yiyi smiled.
Lin Le: "Then I'll go back. I'll talk to Sister Yiyi when I have time."
Lin Yiyi: "Okay. By the way, take the brown sugar and fish back."
Lin Le refused: "This is a thank-you gift, how can I take it back? Sister Yiyi, please stay, we are leaving." After saying that, she pulled her man and left.
Lin Yiyi looked at Hongtang and Yu and sighed. They had already left and it would be awkward for her to chase after them and give them their gifts.
Xiao Yu: "Take it, it's not a big deal. You went to see her when she had a miscarriage."
Lin Yiyi: "You don't know this. She and Mrs. Bei must have some problems because of the miscarriage. Mrs. Bei and I have a good relationship. It always feels inappropriate for me to accept her things."
Xiao Yu chuckled: "You female comrades have complicated ideas. Just because you have a good relationship with the Bei family, does that mean you can't have friendships with others?"
Lin Yiyi: "We female comrades have different thoughts from you male comrades."
Now that Lin Le is gone, Lin Yiyi no longer thinks about this matter.
Lin Yiyi: "By the way, the weather is getting cold in December. Should we prepare some thick cotton quilts for them?"
Xiao-Woo: "How are you going to prepare?"
Lin Yiyi: "I need to think about it. I plan to find some old cotton jackets and wear them outside anyway. Then I will make a thin cotton vest and wear it inside. The sweater and cotton coat are on the outside, so the vest inside can't be seen. And if I wear it inside, no one will take off all my clothes for inspection, right? By the way, ask the infirmary for a few glucose bottles, you can use them as hand warmers."
Xiao-Woo: "Okay."
Lin Yiyi: "I won't prepare a quilt. Suddenly having such a large item will easily arouse suspicion."
Xiao Yu thought for a moment and said, "Prepare a few pairs of thick socks. Only when your feet are warm can your body be warm."
Lin Yiyi: "Well, how about preparing some ginseng slices? Even if you don't make tea with them, you can just hold them in your mouth."
Xiao Yu: "Can I buy it at the pharmacy?
Lin Yiyi: "No need to go to the pharmacy, ask Doctor Lin. He collects herbs himself and he is sure to have this kind of medicine. You don't need good ginseng slices, ginseng roots or something like that will do. The elderly can just put it in their mouths and chew it slowly." Anyway, anything that can nourish the body is fine.
Xiao-Woo: "Okay."
The old cotton-padded jackets were quickly obtained. Lin Yiyi exchanged them with the villagers for new cotton. Of course, the exchange was in proportion, for example, one old cotton-padded jacket for one pound of new cotton, but the old cotton-padded jacket was really old. Lin Yiyi also exchanged two more. Grandpa Li Shengzhong and his grandson both had them. As for the size, they just made it up. Then Lin Yiyi made a cotton vest for Li Shengzhong. Li Shengzhong was older, equivalent to her grandfather, so it was nothing for her to make a cotton vest by herself, but what Li Qiuhui said was inappropriate. It would not sound good if she, a lesbian, made clothes for an unmarried adult gay man.
The clothes were ready and Xiao Yu went to deliver them. The school wasn't on holiday yet, so Lin Yiyi couldn't leave, and it was not easy for her to carry the two cotton jackets.
Xiao Yu left the island and went to Shanglin Production Brigade first. He wanted to ask Dr. Lin to buy some ginseng. Because it was a Sunday, Dr. Lin was at home.
Doctor Lin: "Captain Xiao." Doctor Lin was a little surprised to see Xiao Yu coming to his house. Doctor Lin got the job at the pig farm because of Lin Yiyi's relationship, and as a doctor at the pig farm, his job was easy, so he treated Lin Yiyi as his niece.
Xiao-Woo: "Doctor Lin."
Doctor Lin: "This is a rare visitor. Is there something going on?"
Xiao Yu said, "Indeed, it's like this. It's winter now, and my wife often feels cold in her hands and feet. She wants some ginseng slices or ginseng roots, or whole ginseng. She plans to use them to make soup. Do you have any?"
Doctor Lin: "We have whole pills, but it's a waste to use them to make tea. If you have cold hands and feet, ginseng slices and roots are fine. I also have powdered ginseng here, which is also good. I'll prepare some for you."
Xiao Yu: "Thank you, Dr. Lin. Can gay men drink this powder?"
Doctor Lin: "You soldiers are in such good shape, you shouldn't have cold hands and feet, right?"
Xiao Yu: "I plan to prepare some for my grandfather as well. He is old and seems to have cold hands and feet as well."
Doctor Lin: "Okay, okay, I'll prepare more for you. It's said that you two are famous filial sons in the whole area. If every child is like you, all parents in the world will be blessed." Isn't it true? Since Yi Yi married Xiao Yu, the third child of the Xiao family, the daughters who married out of the Xiao family, and Xiao Daqiang have all become workers indirectly, so everyone secretly said that Yi Yi is a lucky charm for her husband. However, in this era, this feudal idea cannot be spread, but it can't resist people's private thoughts.
To be honest, Dr. Lin also had this idea, because he and Lin Yiyi were good friends, so he himself was blessed. And the butcher was from the captain's family, right? Even if the lucky baby didn't go to the captain, wasn't Lin Zhen also from the captain's family? So, he felt that it made sense for Lin Yiyi to be a lucky baby. Not only did she bring good luck to her parents' family and her husband's family, but she also brought good luck to those who were kind to her.
If Dr. Lin were a modern otaku who spent all day reading novels, perhaps he would understand that this is the brilliance of the protagonist in the novel.
Xiao Yu took the powder, herbs, ginseng slices and ginseng whiskers home. The powder is suitable, the herbs are for foot bathing, and there are also special drinks. Dr. Lin now has a job and the pig farm pays well, so he keeps the herbs he collects for himself and no longer takes them to the pharmacy in the county town. Therefore, Dr. Lin has a lot of herbs in stock.
Xiao Yu returned home and went to the old house with the ginseng slices and ginseng whiskers.
It was cold, so Qin Xiangju didn't go to work. When she saw her son coming back, she frowned: "Second brother, why are you back again?" To be honest, when her son didn't come back, she would miss him, but when her son came back more often, she felt a little disgusted with him.
Xiao Yu handed a bag of things to Qin Xiangju: "This is the medicinal material for soaking feet in winter, and this is ginseng slices for making tea."
Qin Xiangju: "Oh, why are you wasting that money? We are in good health." Although she said this, the bright and relieved smile on her face could not deceive anyone. The elders are like this, they want the younger generation to care about them, but they don't want them to waste money.
Xiao Yu: “…” He has gotten used to his mother's duplicity.
Qin Xiangju: "By the way, your father bought several kilograms of oranges from the supply and marketing cooperative yesterday. Bring them back to the troops when you return."
Xiao-Woo: "Okay."
Qin Xiangju: "Let's have lunch here at noon. What do you want to eat? Noodle dumplings?"
Xiao-Woo: "Okay."
While Xiao Yu was standing in the old house, a little boy came over stealthily. He hid at the door and quietly stuck his head inside.
Xiao Yu was so perceptive that he naturally spotted him: "Jixiang." His deep voice was full of authority, which frightened little Jixiang. Little Jixiang, who was seven years old, was in the first grade in the second half of this year. When he saw his second uncle calling him, he walked in timidly, "Second uncle."
Xiao Yu nodded and said, "What are you doing at the door? A real man should walk with his back straight and his head held high."
Little Jixiang subconsciously straightened his back and raised his head. In the Xiao family, he was afraid of his second uncle. "I... I came to see if Little Eleven and Uncle Five have returned."
Hearing what Xiao Jixiang said, Xiao Yu's eyes flashed with warmth. The first and second wives had completely broken up with each other, and even the children no longer came to visit. But deep down, Xiao Yu still hoped that the whole family could live in harmony, so he was happy to see Xiao Jixiang being so kind to his son and brother-in-law.
Xiao Yu: "When the winter vacation comes, you can go to the island to play with them."
Little Jixiang's eyes lit up: "Are you going this year too?"
Xiao Yu: "Well, when your second aunt comes back, you can ask her."
Xiao Jixiang: "Okay then... Uncle, can you bring something for Xiao Shiyi?"
Xiao-Woo: "Well, what to bring?"
Xiao Jixiang ran back to his home, and soon he came back with a milk powder can. He brought the milk powder can in front of Xiao Yu, and then took out the things inside. There were candies, candy wrappers that he thought were beautiful, and small stones that he picked up, beautiful leaves, and shells. There were all kinds of children's toys. Xiao Jixiang took out the candies, candy wrappers, and small stones, thought for a while, and took out a few cents: "These are for Xiao Shiyi." As he said that, he raised his head and looked at Xiao Yu.
At this glance, he felt that Second Uncle was so tall that his neck was sore. In fact, his father Xiao Bin was also tall, but not as tall as Xiao Yu. In addition, Xiao Yu stood tall and imposing, which made him look even taller to Xiao Jixiang. Seeing that Xiao Yu did not answer, Xiao Jixiang called again: "Second Uncle?"
Xiao Yu picked out the money and said, "You don't need the money. You can keep it to buy food. I will bring the rest back to Eleven. I thank you on behalf of Eleven. You are a good brother."
Hearing his second uncle praising him, Xiao Jixiang smiled shyly. Although his mother said that he should be nicer to his eleventh brother, he was nice to his eleventh brother not because of what his mother said, but because he liked his eleventh brother and also liked his second uncle. As a child, he likes whoever often gives him food. Lin Yiyi lives in the countryside, and she gives Xiao Jixiang food every now and then, and even invites him to eat at home. In addition, her family's food is better than that of the third room, so it is normal for Xiao Jixiang to like her. In addition, he can feel the kindness of Lin Yiyi.
At midnight on Sunday, Xiao Yu delivered torn cotton jackets, cotton vests, pills, ginseng whiskers and other things to Li Shengzhong. Li Shengzhong now lives with Li Qiuhui, and built a thatched house next to the cowshed. The grandfather and grandson built it themselves, and it took them two months to build it. Naturally, they spent a lot of time thinking about it. Although it is made of straw, it is still quite strong. The straw is mixed with yellow mud and clay, so it can at least withstand wind and rain. So when Xiao Yu delivered things to them, it was much safer and would not be seen by the other two people who were sent down.
Just like the last time, when Li Shengzhong opened his eyes, he saw the things on the bed. In fact, it was not so much the warmth brought by seeing these things, but the surprise brought to him by Xiao Yu's excellent detective ability. Because every time Xiao Yu came, he didn't find it. Although he is old, and the hard work in the countryside, his alertness and sharpness are not as good as before, but he still has the intuition that a soldier should have. But he didn't find Xiao Yu twice in a row, so it's not that he is not good enough, but that he is too good. As an old revolutionary and a senior, he is of course relieved to know that the people under him are getting better and better.
Li Shengzhong took out the things. This time, there were two kinds of handwriting on the note. The first half was the same as before, saying that the two cotton jackets were for him and his grandson, and the cotton vest was for him. The second half said that the medicinal powder was used to make tea to drive away the cold, and the ginseng root and ginseng slices were used to nourish the body. Although they didn't have a thermos, they could still boil water. In addition, there were two very old ceramic cups in the package.
Li Shengzhong said to Li Qiuhui, "Let's boil some water and make a cup of ginseng tea to drive away the cold." Li Shengzhong was in a high position before being sent down, and even Li Qiuhui was respected and valued, so they had seen a lot of good things before being sent down, so they knew that these ginseng slices and ginseng roots were just the edges of ginseng, that is, they were simply for replenishing the body, and they were different from the ginseng that could "revive" and pull people back from Yanwang Pass. Therefore, they were willing to eat these edges. Moreover, they knew very well that they would live here for a long time, and if they wanted to live until tomorrow, they had to take good care of themselves.
Xiao Yu didn't send the good part of the ginseng because he knew that if he sent the expensive part, they would definitely not be willing to eat it. Not to mention them, even other people would not be willing to eat it because it was used to save lives, just in case. So, he sent the corners of the ginseng.
Grandpa Li Shengzhong and his grandson boiled water and brewed ginseng tea, but they not only drank it themselves, but also asked Yang Chengguo and his wife to drink it together. They also gave the cold medicine that Lin Yiyi gave to Yang Chengguo, who was already coughing when he was sent down. After a few months of getting along, they knew that Yang Chengguo and his wife were good people. When they were building the house, Yang Chengguo helped, helping to find hay, straw, and trees, and Yang Chengguo's wife Zhang Xi helped to cook, although it was just steamed sweet potatoes. Moreover, as long as there was hot water over there, they would call them. Everyone was in trouble, so they helped and cared for each other. Actually, they didn't even have an iron pot. What they used to boil water and cook sweet potatoes were clay pots. They picked up broken clay pots thrown away by others and used them together.
Yang Chengguo and his wife had received boiled eggs from them before, and now after drinking the ginseng tea, they vaguely knew that someone was secretly taking care of Li Shengzhong and his grandson. In fact, they were happy for Li Shengzhong. People say that husband and wife are birds of the same forest, and when disaster strikes, they fly away separately. Even husband and wife and children will abandon you, let alone others? But Li Shengzhong and his grandson still have someone to take care of them. In this environment, this is indeed a comforting thing.
Yang Chengguo is a university teacher who was betrayed by his own students. He is no less disappointed with the world than Li Shengzhong. After being sent down to the countryside, he gradually calmed down in this peaceful village. Fortunately, the villagers here are very nice and will not criticize them. The biggest criticism they will receive is asking them to deal with the septic tank.
Lin Yiyi returned to the army and saw a big bag of oranges on the table. She smelled the fragrance and her mouth began to water. It was not because of the glutinous smell, but because of the sour smell.
Lin Wujun: "Oranges." He picked up an orange and peeled it. "Sister, the peel of this orange is so thin."
Xiao Shiyi: "It's oranges." He imitated Lin Wujun and started to peel oranges.
Lin Yiyi: "You still know oranges?"
Xiao Shiyi: "I don't know. It was my uncle who mentioned oranges." Halfway through his speech, he put down the orange he had been peeling for a while, took out a whole orange from the bag, and put it into his small Jiefang bag.
Lin Yiyi looked at his brown hair. Although he had a lot of hair, it was not as dark as others. He lowered his head, carefully hiding the orange. There were two whorls on the top of his head, and because of this, a bunch of hair in the middle of the two whorls was curling up, which looked very funny.
Lin Yiyi couldn't help but laugh out loud.
When Xiao Shiyi heard his mother's laughter, he raised his head in confusion and looked at her with his big eyes: "Yiyi?"
Lin Yiyi especially likes to look at the swirls on the back of his head. The two swirls are really cute.
Xiao Shiyi: "Yiyi?" Why is his mother looking at him? He stopped putting the oranges down and felt a little shy.
Lin Yiyi: "Why did you hide the oranges in your bag?"
Speaking of this, Xiao Shiyi said happily: "One for Xiao Gouzi and one for Xiao Hu." Both of them are his little friends, so he is being fair by giving one to each of them.
Lin Yiyi: "You have to try it yourself to see if the orange is sweet or not. If it is sweet, then you can give it to them. If it is sour and you don't like it, then they definitely won't like it either. Don't you agree?"
Children's logical thinking is different from that of adults, but they can still understand some truths. Xiao Shiyi nodded: "Yes, I'll try it first."
So, Xiaoyi continued to peel the orange that he had peeled in half before. When he finished peeling the orange and carefully divided it into two halves, he compared them and gave the larger half to his mother: "Yiyi, eat the orange." He gave the smaller half to himself.
Lin Yiyi: "Thank you, Xiaoyi."
Little Eleven grinned and smiled sweetly, then ate the orange by himself. Children drool when they eat, especially oranges. He ate a piece, and some orange juice flowed out of his mouth. He stretched out his tongue and licked the orange juice from the corner of his mouth clean: "Sweet." In fact, the sweetness is slightly sour, but this little bit of sourness can be ignored. It was the first time that Little Eleven ate an orange, and he felt that the taste of oranges was very special, different from apples, and he liked oranges.
When Xiao Yu came back, the house was filled with the smell of oranges. Like grapefruits, oranges have a strong smell from their peels, but this smell is very fragrant, and many people use orange and grapefruit peels to remove odors.
Xiao Yu: "Oranges are pretty sweet, right?"
Lin Yiyi: “Where did it come from?”
Xiao Yu: "Dad bought it at the supply and marketing cooperative. He said that a brigade had planted a large number of orange trees, and when the oranges were ripe, they were wholesaled to the supply and marketing cooperative. However, after growing vegetables on the stove, and then starting the commune's pig farm, each brigade has started sideline businesses. Some grow watermelons, and now oranges are growing too. Our commune is the first to do so." The main reason is that the pig farm has developed well.
Lin Yiyi: "It will get better in the future."
Xiao Yu: "Speaking of which, you are the one who took the lead." From growing vegetables on the stove to raising pigs, which one was not led by her. Speaking of this, Xiao Yu narrowed his eyes and looked at the beautiful and smart girl in front of him. She could deeply influence him both intellectually and emotionally.
Lin Yiyi: "What are you looking at?" Seeing Xiao Yu's sharp and deep eyes staring at him, Lin Yiyi's heartbeat accelerated for no reason. She was not nervous, but she was a little embarrassed to be stared at by him so closely. Although they are an old couple, the throbbing in her heart is still there. For example, when she looks at his body, she will be very excited.
Xiao Yu: "No...my wife is getting prettier and prettier." Under her touch, he became more and more admirable in saying nice things.
Lin Yiyi pursed her lips, but she couldn't suppress the smile.
Lin Wujun was eating the third orange. He was young and could not understand the dog food between his sister and brother-in-law.
After lunch, Lin Wujun hid a few oranges in his pocket and went to school before Lin Yiyi: "Sister, I'm leaving first." He wanted to share the oranges with his good friend.
Lin Yiyi nodded: "Yeah."
Xiao Shiyi also walked out, holding Lin Yiyi's hand, but they went to the Bei family's house.
When they arrived at the Bei family's house, Xiao Shiyi first called out loudly: "Little Dog... Little Dog..."
The puppy ran out of the house: "Little Eleven..." Seeing his little friend, he walked forward happily, "Little Eleven..." He took Little Eleven's little hand.
Little Eleven retracted his hand: "I'll give you an orange." He opened the Jiefang bag he was carrying. Because he was small, there were very few things in the bag, just a handkerchief, a few tissues, and three oranges. He took out one of the oranges and said, "Little Dog, here, it's sweet."
It was also the first time for the puppy to see oranges. He sniffed them and found the scent of the oranges really good. He licked his lips and wanted to eat them, but since they were given to him by his friend, he was reluctant to eat them.
Bei: "Sister Lin, come in and sit down."
Lin Yiyi: "No, I have to go to school. This kid can't wait to bring oranges to Xiaogouzi."
Bei was also at a loss for words: "These two kids are having such a great time."
That's right. During the days when Xiaogouzi stayed at home, Xiaoyi abandoned his beloved mother and slept with Xiaogouzi.
Lin Yiyi: "Eleven, say goodbye to the puppy, we have to go to school."
Xiao Shiyi waved to Xiao Gouzi: "Goodbye, Xiao Gouzi."
Xiaogouzi also waved to Xiaoshiyi: "Goodbye, Xiaoshiyi."
The two little friends said goodbye reluctantly. When Lin Yiyi took Xiao Shiyi away, Xiao Gouzi even walked them to the door, and it looked like he couldn't wait to go to school with Xiao Shiyi.
When they arrived at school, Teacher Zhang and his friends were already there. Xiao Shiyi ran to his mat and saw Xiao Hu sitting there. He happily handed him another orange: "Xiao Hu, oranges, sweet ones."
The chubby little tiger looked at the orange for a while. The orange had a green skin, which he had never seen before. He took it curiously and looked at it carefully: "Orange? Are you eating it?"
Xiao Shiyi: "It's delicious." He took out another one. There were three oranges in the Jiefang bag, and this was the last one. "Eat it like this." He taught Xiaohu how to peel the orange.
Teacher Zhang: "Are the oranges ripe now?"
Lin Yiyi: "It's ripe. His grandfather asked him to bring it when his dad went back to his hometown. It's quite sweet. We ate it all in one afternoon."
Xiaohu followed Xiaoshiyi's example and peeled the orange, then cut it in half. He ate one piece and his eyes lit up: "Delicious."
Xiao Shiyi heard this and smiled proudly: "It tastes good, right?"
Looking at the two little kids, happiness is so simple.
Lin Yiyi was on duty today. To her surprise, Teacher Zhang did not leave immediately after school in the afternoon.
Lin Yiyi: "Is Teacher Zhang going home?"
Teacher Zhang: "The child's father is not here, and it's a little early for us to have dinner, so let the child play here for a while."
At 4:30, the self-study class was over, and Lin Yiyi took Xiao Shiyi and Lin Wujun home, and Teacher Zhang followed them. After leaving the school gate, Teacher Zhang took Lin Yiyi's hand and said, "Principal Ren came to talk to us at noon today, didn't you know?"
Lin Yiyi was startled and thought about what Teacher Zhang said. If it was something in the school, there was no need for Principal Ren to hide the conversation between her and Teacher Zhang and others, right? So: "It can't be related to me, right?"
Teacher Zhang: "You are smart, but doesn't it have something to do with you?"
Lin Yiyi was puzzled: "Is it related to me? I want to talk to you again? I can't figure this out."
Teacher Zhang: "You're right not to understand. Some people say one thing to your face and another behind your back."
Lin Yiyi said: "Sister, don't keep me in suspense, tell me now."
Teacher Zhang: "This morning, when Principal Ren came to school, he found a letter in the crack of the office door. It was anonymous. It was an unsigned letter, and no one knew who wrote it. Principal Ren privately compared the notes of several teachers, but they couldn't match. But isn't it obvious? If the notes matched, why would the other party write anonymously? They wrote anonymous letters because they didn't want anyone to know."
Lin Yiyi: "Are these anonymous letters reports?"
Teacher Zhang: "It's not really reporting, it's just gossiping. I think military wives are all upright people. I really despise those who stab people in the back."
Lin Yiyi chuckled: "Did you read the letter? What did it say?"
Teacher Zhang: "I read the letter. It says that the school is a place for children to take classes, and the office is a place for teachers to work. It is very inappropriate for you to bring children here. I hope Principal Ren can fire you."
Lin Yiyi understood. No wonder Teacher Zhang was so angry, because Teacher Zhang was one of them. Although she could put the child in the nursery, she would occasionally bring Xiaohu over after Lin Yiyi brought Xiao Shiyi here. So when people reported her, they didn't consider that Teacher Zhang would also take it personally. So, Teacher Zhang was also angry.
Teacher Zhang: "This afternoon, Principal Ren called all five of us together for a talk. She said that you brought your child to school because she approved of it, and hoped that the remaining teachers would not do anything. When I saw the letter, I was shocked. I definitely did not do this. So the remaining three people were the only ones who did it. I just don't know which of the three did it."
Teacher Zhang could indeed be excluded, but which of the remaining three was the snitch? However, Lin Yiyi was just thinking about it and didn't care. She wasn't a hostage and didn't want everyone to like her.
Fortunately, she was only a substitute teacher for one semester, and she finished her substitute teaching before the winter vacation. However, although she didn't care about people doing little things behind her back, it didn't mean that she would just sit there and be bullied.
During dinner, Lin Yiyi told Xiao Yu about this matter: "...Who do you think it could be?"
Xiao Yu had no impression of these three teachers. He even didn't know who they were. But: "If we are not happy with what we do, we won't do it..."
Lin Yiyi was just curious and discussed it with Xiao Yu. She had no other intentions. "It's only a month. It will be over once it's done. However, it was Lin Le who suggested that I substitute for the class. It was even Lin Le who suggested that I bring my child with me. I think I should talk to Lin Le about this."
Xiao Yu raised his eyebrows, feeling that his wife's words were a bit malicious.
After dinner, Lin Yiyi went to Lin Le's house with a worried look on her face.
Lin Le's family was also having dinner at this time. It was dinner time. Whose family wasn't having dinner? Lin Le was a little surprised to see Lin Yiyi coming. But it was just a surprise. Soon she said warmly, "Why are you here, Sister Yiyi? Please sit down." Lin Le was out of confinement and her mother-in-law had gone back. Now there were only her and her husband at home, and it was not a tube-shaped building, but a small courtyard. I have to say that the small courtyard is indeed more comfortable than the tube-shaped building, several times more comfortable. It's not just comfortable, but mainly because it's more face-saving. The tube-shaped building is such a small place, and the smell is also strong.
Lin Yiyi was not comfortable sitting down, so she said hesitantly, "Teacher Lin, I want to discuss something with you."
Lin Le said, "Let's sit down and discuss it." Then he poured Lin Yiyi a glass of warm water.
Lin Yiyi frowned and thought for a while: "Teacher Lin, have you offended anyone in the office? For example, someone with whom you don't have a good relationship."
Lin Le was a little confused when he heard this: "What's going on? Did someone say something to me?"
Lin Yiyi: "It's like this. I'm going to take your class. Everyone knows it. It was you who suggested it. And I also said at the beginning that I have to take care of my children, so it might not be convenient for me to take my children. But you suggested it to Principal Ren, so I can take my children with me, right?"
Lin Le nodded: "Indeed, I just proposed an idea at the time, and it was up to Principal Ren to decide whether it would work or not."
Lin Yiyi: "But these two days, someone reported to Principal Ren that I brought my child to school and affected the students and the teachers in the office. I was thinking, I don't interact with you guys on a regular basis, and I went there on your behalf. The other party knew all this and knew that it was your suggestion to bring the child to school, but they still reported this to Principal Ren. Was it... directed at you?"
This... Lin Le felt that it was not right, but he also felt that what Lin Yiyi said made sense. However, it was indeed a bit disgusting to tell on someone. We were all teachers in the same office, and Lin Yiyi only taught for one semester. It was December now, and the winter vacation would start in another month, which meant that Lin Yiyi's classes would be over soon. If he felt that it was not right for Lin Yiyi to take care of children, then why didn't he report it to Principal Ren in the beginning?
Lin Le: "Sister Yiyi, I will ask about this matter clearly. Don't worry, I will definitely give you an explanation."
Lin Yiyi: "That's not necessary. We are all military wives, and it's not good to make a fuss. I was thinking, now that you have recovered, why don't you come back to teach?"
Lin Le: "But the holiday is in a month. It would be hard for me to come here at this time. Sister Yiyi, wait a moment. I'll find out what's going on."
Lin Yiyi: "Okay, you are familiar with them, I'll leave this matter to you, otherwise I really... I'm really embarrassed to continue to substitute for them."
Lin Le: "I understand, don't worry."
After talking to Lin Le, Lin Yiyi went home. She was just a substitute teacher out of kindness, so who did she offend? She reported to Principal Ren. Thinking back to the three months she was a substitute teacher, she had no conflicts with anyone, but someone came to her secretly. Besides, she would only be a substitute teacher for another month, so it was really strange for the other party to report her.
Lin Yiyi returned home and saw three men in the yard.
Xiao-Woo: "Are you back? How did the talk go?"
Lin Yiyi: "I told you, this is embarrassing for me, why don't I end my substitute teaching job early..." Lin Yiyi explained the situation again, "In that case, let her go and find out."
Xiao Yu: "I have no grudge against you, and the timing of the report is not too long, so it is impossible that he has no purpose."
Lin Yiyi heard this and said, "I just can't think of any purpose. I will be finishing my substitute teaching job in a month, and I have no conflict of interest with anyone else."
Xiao Yu: "Maybe someone is just that free."
The next day, Lin Yiyi went to class as usual, but because of what happened yesterday, Lin Yiyi now looked suspicious at everyone she saw in the office. If she saw someone suspicious, she would just stare at them. Generally speaking, if someone has done something shameful, they will definitely look away when they are stared at.
But when she stared at the three people, they all looked away.
From grade one to grade five, the first class was always a unified Chinese class. When the first class started, three of the five teachers went to teach, leaving only Lin Yiyi and another math teacher in the office. This math teacher was the class teacher for three years.
Lin Yiyi asked Xiao Shiyi to sit still. Xiao Hu didn't come today. Maybe it was because of what happened yesterday and Teacher Zhang was embarrassed to bring the child here again.
Lin Yiyi: "Eleven, can mommy tell you a story today?"
Xiao Shiyi: “Okay.” He loves listening to stories the most.
Lin Yiyi: "Once upon a time, there was a little boy who loved to tell tales... Later, he had no friends and no one wanted to play with him anymore."
Xiaoyi: "I don't want to tell tales. I want to play with my friends."
Lin Yiyi: "Yes, our little Eleven is a good kid and never tells tales."
The third grade teacher couldn't help but say, "Teacher Lin, your incident was not the snitch letter I wrote to Principal Ren. This incident has nothing to do with me."
Lin Yiyi raised her eyebrows and looked at her with a smile.
The third grade teacher said: "Teacher Lin, we are not children. I know why you told this story to the children. You just told it to me, but this matter has nothing to do with me. Although we can't say that our relationship is very good, we don't have any conflicts normally, right? And even if I sue you, it will not benefit me. So if you have any doubts, go and suspect the fourth and fifth graders. Of course, it is impossible for a first grader to have a good relationship with you." She did not mention any names, but used age instead.
After hearing this, Lin Yiyi asked, "Who do you think is more likely to be in the fourth or fifth grade?"
The third grade teacher said: "I really don't know. How can I guess it?" She is not stupid. Even if she has doubts in her heart, she will not say it out loud. Why offend people for no reason? Although Lin Yiyi's husband is the highest-ranking among them, her husband is not in Xiao Yu's group, so there is no need to sell Lin Yiyi a good thing. In this case, she will not be partial to anyone. Anyway, the matter of snitching has nothing to do with her.
Lin Yiyi: "Okay, I know, thank you for your reminder."
The third grade teacher said: "I didn't remind them anything." She didn't want to admit that she reminded them anything. If the person involved knew about it, wouldn't she be blamed?
Lin Yiyi did not continue the topic. She had just carefully observed the third grade teacher and felt that she was not the kind of person who would tell tales. So, who would be the fourth grade teacher or the fifth grade teacher?
Next was Lin Yiyi's math class. After class, she returned to the office and saw Principal Ren was there. She was stunned. Could it be that Principal Ren came because of the snitch?
Principal Ren saw Lin Yiyi and said, "The class is over. I was just about to talk to you about something."
Lin Yiyi returned to her seat thinking.
