Lin Yiyi deliberately dragged Xiao Yu along with her. After all, Xiao Yu was the group leader, and he was there to help save face so that people wouldn't think she was easy to bully.

Lin Yiyi smiled and said, "I was walking around and passed by Teacher Huang's house, so I came over to sit with him. Has Teacher Huang had his meal?"

Teacher Huang: "I've eaten, and I'm going to soak my feet in the warm quilt. It's so cold, I can't go out." Teacher Huang is afraid of the cold, and she doesn't want to move when winter comes.

Lin Yiyi: "You can go to the infirmary and ask for a few glucose bottles. Fill the bottles with hot water, but don't fill them up. Leave about three or four centimeters of space. Don't fill them with boiling water. Just water that's almost boiling will do. You see, like me, I carry it with me when I go out and I carry it with me when I go to bed." As she said that, she took out the bottle of glucose.

Teacher Huang took it and looked at it curiously, then touched it and said, "Wow, this really can warm my hands. Teacher Lin, your method is absolutely amazing, it's great."

There were no hot water bottles or baby warmers in this era. Lin Yiyi heard from her mother that when she was a child, she used glucose bottles to warm her hands. However, glucose bottles were not easy to get. But in the army, it was easy to get. If a military wife asked the doctor in the infirmary for it, the doctor would not refuse. Moreover, glucose liquid was safe and harmless to people, so even if it was given to everyone, it was safe.

Lin Yiyi: "I just thought of it suddenly. This is a small bottle of glucose, which I usually use to dry my hands. If you want to warm the quilt, you have to use a big bottle. However, you have to cover the lid tightly and hold it with a cloth to warm the quilt. It's best not to turn it upside down. Although water will not flow out, there is a pinhole in the rubber stopper on the lid. After all, it is an empty bottle that has been used. If the bottle is turned upside down, water droplets will come out of the pinholes. It won't get wet in a short time, but it will get wet after a few hours of sleep." It's the same principle as water dripping through a stone.

Teacher Huang was moved after hearing this, and she had also experienced it before. This hand warmer is indeed good, but is there anyone in the infirmary at this time? Teacher Huang: "Teacher Lin, do you think there is still a doctor in the infirmary at this time?"

Lin Yiyi: "Yes, there are doctors on duty who sleep in the infirmary."

Teacher Huang said, "Let's go to the infirmary and get some glucose bottles. We can give them to the children tonight. Then they won't feel cold when they go to school tomorrow morning."

Lin Yiyi: "I'll go with you to take a look. Who knows, I might want to get a few too, and bring some to the elders at home."

Teacher Huang: "Then I'll get a few more, too." Teacher Huang and Lin Yiyi went to the infirmary together. Before leaving, she said hello to her husband and said, "I'm going to get the glucose bottle. You boil the hot water first."

Teacher Huang’s husband: “Okay.”

The two women went out in a hurry.

Seeing that the time was almost right, Lin Yiyi asked, "Teacher Huang, I heard that one morning when you and Teacher Zhang went to school, Teacher Zhang's sister also went with you. You went very early that day, and there were no students in the school yet?"

Teacher Huang did not hide it: "Yes, Teacher Zhang said that Zhang Nian came to her to get something, but the thing was in the office, so she had to go to school early in the morning. When she arrived at school, Zhang Nian took the thing and left."

Lin Yiyi: "What did you take?"

Teacher Huang was stunned: "I don't know about that. I can't watch people take things. Teacher Lin, why are you asking this?"

Lin Yiyi: "Wait for me to ask you one more question before I answer you. Why did Teacher Zhang let you go to school with him that day, so early in the morning?"

Teacher Huang said, "Oh, it was my turn to open the door that week. Don't we take turns to open the door every week? Last week it was Teacher Zhang, and that week it was my turn, so she had to go to the office to get something, and she had to ask me to go with her. Well, this time was a bit early, I was not happy at the time, and asked her to call me later, but she said that her sister was in a hurry to get something and wanted to send it out, so I said to give her the key, and she said that if she went alone, she couldn't explain what was missing from the office. She said so, I had no choice but to accompany her.

By the way, it was at noon that day that Principal Ren called us for a meeting and asked about the issue of reporting. I'm sure you know about this reporting. It's related to you. Someone reported you for bringing the child to the office, which affected everyone. Principal Ren said in the meeting that she agreed with you bringing the child to school. She also asked us if the child's arrival at the office had any impact on us. We said at the time that it didn't affect us. Who doesn't have a child? Your child is very well-behaved and doesn't cry or make a fuss. "Teacher Huang was speaking from the heart. Little Eleven was indeed well-behaved. He read books and ate by himself. He was chubby and fair-skinned, and quite cute.

Teacher Huang was not stupid. At this point, she vaguely understood: "Could it be that Teacher Zhang was the one who sent the report? That's unlikely. We were together since we arrived at the office. Oh, by the way, Teacher Lin Le also asked me, and I said the same thing at the time. Teacher Zhang was indeed in the office and never left."

Lin Yiyi: "I only found out about this after Teacher Lin Le told me. I don't know who spread the news, I just asked out of curiosity. Since Teacher Huang also knows my original intention, I don't need to explain it to you."

The two of them came to the infirmary, which was already closed. Teacher Huang knocked on the door, and the doctor came out. Seeing Lin Yiyi, the doctor said, "Comrade Lin is here." The doctor knew Lin Yiyi because she had come to get the glucose bottle before, and because Lin Yiyi had sent Lin Wujun here last year when he had a fight with Zhang Jiaqiang, Xu Xiaobao and others. More importantly, she used the bottle as a thermos to warm her hands, which impressed the doctor.

Lin Yiyi: "Yes, I came with Teacher Huang to get some glucose bottles, and I want a few for myself as well."

The doctor said, "Okay, come in and choose."

After Teacher Huang and Lin Yiyi picked out the bottles of glucose, they left.

When they arrived at Teacher Huang's house, Lin Yiyi and Xiao Yu said goodbye.

After Lin Yiyi left, Teacher Huang's face darkened. Teacher Huang's husband was beside her and noticed that she was in a bad mood, so he asked, "What's wrong?"

Teacher Huang said, "Something happened in the school a few days ago... Do you think Teacher Zhang was deliberately using me? If someone had put a letter in Principal Ren's office at that time, then..."

Teacher Huang’s husband: “Zhang Nian is the most likely candidate.”

When Mr. Huang heard this, he put down the water scoop and said, "I'll go out for a while."

"Where are you going?"

Teacher Huang: "Don't worry about me, I'll be back soon."

Teacher Huang ran to Teacher Zhang's house. It was late at night and Teacher Zhang and his family were all in bed. When they heard the door open, it was Teacher Huang's voice again, so Teacher Zhang went out and asked, "Teacher Huang, why are you here?"

Teacher Huang laughed and said, "Teacher Zhang, was it your sister who secretly put the letter in Principal Ren's office?"

Teacher Zhang's heart tightened: "Teacher Huang, what do you mean by this?"

Teacher Huang snorted, "You know what I mean. We are the only ones in the office who can write a report. Teacher Zhang can't be the one. She and Teacher Lin Yiyi are in the same class and they have a good relationship. As for the third grader, I don't know much about him, but between the two of us, you are indeed the suspect. Don't tell me if you are the one or not. Lin Le asked me about this matter, and Lin Yiyi also asked me about it. They both suspected you, and I, of course, told the truth, so you better take care of yourself."

After saying this, Teacher Huang left.

Teacher Zhang watched Teacher Huang leave, and his heart sank. It was indeed Zhang Nian who put the letter there, but if they knew that Lin Yiyi had no interest in changing jobs, why would they send a letter?

That day, she took her children to see Lin Le who had a miscarriage. She heard Lin Le and Lin Yiyi talking at the door. When she heard about the job transfer, she was a little surprised. There were only so many positions in the school, so how did Lin Yiyi get the job transfer?

Later, she learned that the school was going to add more positions, so she wrote to Zhang Nian and asked her to come to the army early. Even though her brother-in-law's house was not ready, her sister could live in her house first. After her sister came, she was also tempted by the political education position, but there was a stopper, that was Lin Yiyi. Lin Yiyi was a substitute teacher. If she wanted to change her job, Zhang Nian would have no hope. Because substitute teachers in the school have priority.

Moreover, Lin Yiyi has a good education and her husband has a high military rank. So they have to find a way to get rid of Lin Yiyi, or let Principal Ren know Lin Yiyi's shortcomings. A person who brings a child to school is not suitable for a job in the school, and Principal Ren should not make an exception for Lin Yiyi. As long as Lin Yiyi is not good enough, Teacher Zhang is confident that Zhang Nian will definitely be able to do it. Zhang Nian has always had the best academic performance since she was a child, and she has always been the first. With her grades, how could she not be selected?

Teacher Zhang thought that the matter was over, but he didn't expect that Teacher Huang would come and say that Lin Le and Lin Yiyi were asking about this matter. According to Lin Le and Lin Yiyi, they also suspected himself and his sister.

Thinking of this, Teacher Zhang was in a very bad mood. So much so that when she went to school the next day and faced Lin Yiyi, she was a little nervous. She wanted to speak several times.

Of course, Lin Yiyi didn't know what happened to Teacher Huang later, so she didn't know what Teacher Zhang was thinking when facing her. However, she noticed that Teacher Zhang was reserved.

Lin Yiyi did not take the initiative to contact her.

During the break, Principal Ren came and said, "Everyone, please be quiet for a moment. I want to tell you something."

Everyone stopped what they were doing and waited for Principal Ren to say.

Principal Ren said, "Because the position of political education will come into contact with everyone, I invite everyone to discuss the candidate for political education. There are currently three people who meet the requirements for the position. Among these three people, which one do you think is suitable?"

Lin Yiyi thinks that Principal Ren is quite democratic. If it were an ordinary leader, he would decide who to recruit. Moreover, there are only these people in the school, so Principal Ren has the final say on who to recruit, and he does not need to get the consent of other leaders at all. And Principal Ren actually came to ask everyone, which shows how democratic Principal Ren is.

As a substitute teacher, Lin Yiyi didn't need to express her opinion because she would not have any contact with her in the future. However, to her surprise, Teacher Huang spoke up: "Principal, some of these people have a relationship with Teacher Zhang, so it is not appropriate for Teacher Zhang to express his opinion, right?"

As soon as Teacher Huang said this, Teacher Zhang looked at her suddenly.

Without waiting for Teacher Zhang to express his opinion, Principal Ren said, "Indeed, then, apart from Teacher Zhang, the other three teachers, please express your opinions. Who do you think is suitable for the position of political education?"

Five minutes later, Principal Ren left.

Bang……

Teacher Zhang came to Teacher Huang's seat and slammed the table hard: "What do you mean? Do you have to do this? What does this have to do with you? We have known each other for several years, and I didn't expect you to do this."

Teacher Huang: "Yes, we have known each other for several years, and I never thought you would take advantage of me like this. This is so despicable."

Teacher Zhang: "Don't talk nonsense if you don't have evidence."

Teacher Huang: "I don't have any evidence. If I had, would you still be able to do this? I don't have any evidence, but I didn't mention any names. You and Zhang Nian are sisters, can't you avoid suspicion? I pointed it out reasonably."

Teacher Zhang: “You…”

Teacher Huang: "People do things, God sees. You know in your heart whether it is you or not. I am not Teacher Lin, so I can't be bullied so easily. At worst, we can just make a big fuss."

Teacher Lin?

Teacher Zhang and Teacher Huang were arguing in the office, so they didn't hide from others. At first, no one could understand what they were arguing about, but when it came to Lin Yiyi, everyone understood.

Teacher Zhang: "You..." She looked at the others again, and they all looked at her with strange eyes. She didn't continue to argue, because she knew that if she continued to argue, things would get worse. Originally, according to Zhang Nian's grades, the position of political education was a sure thing. But because of what Teacher Huang said, Teacher Zhang could not participate in the vote, and Teacher Huang chose someone else, so the other two teachers did not choose Zhang Nian. Everyone seemed to be in harmony on the surface, but there might be conflicts behind the scenes. Besides, Teacher Zhang and Zhang Nian were sisters, and Teacher Zhang and others did not want Zhang Nian to come in, after all, this position was special.

After school, Lin Yiyi returned home and told Xiao Yu about this. Xiao Yu raised his eyebrows. He was not interested in the affairs between women, but he would listen patiently to everything related to his wife.

Because of this incident, Teacher Zhang and Teacher Huang had a complete falling out.

However, Lin Yiyi didn't care whether they made a noise or not, because the school was on vacation and her substitute teaching was over.

"Sister...sister..." Early in the morning, Lin Sijun's voice was heard in the yard.

Lin Yiyi, wrapped in a cotton padded jacket and holding a hand warmer, walked out of the house and saw Lin Dajun and Lin Sijun coming in. In the middle of winter, they both wore cotton padded jackets, but their noses were frozen red.

Lin Yiyi quickly poured them some hot sugar water: "Why are you here? It's winter, aren't you afraid of the cold?"

Lin Dajun: "I came here during the holiday. Xiaozhen is about to give birth."

Lin Zhen has been pregnant for five months, and now it is nine months, and she is about to give birth. The closer the date of the birth is, the more nervous Lin Dajun becomes, and his heart is beating fast. To be honest, although he is happy that his wife is pregnant and he is going to be a father, he seems not ready to be a father yet. To put it more clearly, he has to divide his own food for the child.

Lin Yiyi said: "She is about to give birth, and it will be during the first month of the lunar year. Your mother-in-law will come to help her with the confinement period, right?"

Lin Dajun: "Yes, I told my mother-in-law. I would not feel comfortable if someone else came. If my mother-in-law comes, we will give her the money."

Lin Yiyi: "That's good. With your mother-in-law here, everything will be fine."

Lin Dajun: "We came here this time to tell you one more thing."

Lin Yiyi: “What’s the matter?”

Lin Dajun: "Erjun is getting married."

Poof... Lin Yiyi spat out a mouthful of hot tea: "What did you say? Did I hear you wrongly?"

Lin Dajun: "No, Erjun is getting married."

Lin Yiyi: "..." It was such a sudden shock, "Who is this person?"

Lin Sijun chuckled and said, "She is also an educated youth, a female one."

Lin Dajun rolled his eyes and said, "Of course the one who married Erjun was a female educated youth. Could it be a male educated youth?"

Lin Yiyi said, "Don't interrupt me. Which female educated youth is it?"

Lin Sijun: "A female educated youth named Fang Fang. Her brother is also an educated youth named Fang Cao."

Lin Yiyi had no impression of this Fang Fang, but she was still quite curious about Zhang Xiaojun's marriage. "So how is he going to get married? Getting married in that educated youth dormitory?"

Lin Sijun: "That's right. He told my eldest brother that we are brothers after all. He doesn't ask for our new house, but can we give him the old house?"

Lin Yiyi: "That's Xiaowu's foundation, you didn't agree, right?"

Lin Dajun: "No, no, how could I agree to that? I told him that it was impossible. He has already been adopted, and our family doesn't have much money, so of course we can't give him the foundation."

Lin Yiyi: "Yeah." If he hadn't taken the 200 yuan that the Zhang family gave him when he was adopted, then he should have gotten the old house this time. But he was very happy to take the 200 yuan. Lin Yiyi wanted to end things with him cleanly, so she returned the 200 yuan. Otherwise, it was 200 yuan. At that time, it was very precious to the Lin family, who were penniless and only had the 30 yuan left by the original owner. However, "So he just let it go?"

Lin Sijun: "No, he said he was just staying here temporarily and he would return to the city in the future, so we let him stay for a while. We are not stupid. If this person moves in, will he be able to get out in the future?"

Lin Yiyi thought that Zhang Xiaojun must be really determined to return to the city. A powerful and realistic person like Zhang Xiaojun would not stay in the countryside all his life. Perhaps because he wanted to return to the city, he had no interest in these things of the Lin family.

Lin Yiyi: “What happened next?”

Lin Sijun pointed at Lin Dajun and said, "Ask him about what happened later."

Lin Yiyi looked at Lin Dajun.

Lin Dajun: "Later, my father-in-law came to see me. He said that Erjun is a child of the Lin family after all. Now that we have a new house to live in, the old house can be temporarily given to Erjun. Otherwise, it would not look good if the news got out that our old house was left empty without Erjun living in it."

Lin Yiyi raised her eyebrows: "Your father-in-law is good at doing favors. This is Xiaowu's house. The Lin family has already split up. This is not an old house that is empty."

Lin Dajun smiled awkwardly: "I didn't agree. I said I have to ask you."

Lin Yiyi: "Besides this incident, what about other things? Has he done anything else?"

Lin Dajun: “No.”

Lin Sijun: "He just often brings me food. He is a teacher at school now, how could he dare to do anything?"

Lin Dajun: "Sister, what should we do about the house? If we don't let Erjun live there, will he make a fuss?"

Lin Yiyi fell into deep thought. How could she explain this? Logically, Zhang Xiaojun passed away and they didn't get a penny back then. They were clean and honest, so they could have just not let him live there. However, some things cannot be stopped by rumors. Some people can't stand seeing others doing well, so they will say unpleasant things. The Lin family now has three green brick houses and an old house that is vacant. If they don't let Lin Erjun live there, the Lin family will suffer from rumors.

Lin Yiyi: "After you go back, tell Erjun that he can live in the old house. I don't want him to pay rent. Let him pay a deposit of 150 yuan. When he doesn't want to live there anymore, he can get the deposit back. We can write it down in black and white."

The next day, Lin Dajun went back, and Lin Sijun prepared to stay in the army for a few more days.

If it were normal, Lin Dajun would definitely stay for a few more days, but now Lin Zhen was about to give birth, and he was worried about Lin Zhen, so he left in a hurry. When Lin Dajun left, he also took the agreement written by Lin Yiyi about the 150 yuan deposit.

Lin Dajun returned to the village and first went to the captain's house.

During the winter vacation, the farmers were idle in the cold winter. When Lin Dajun went there, Captain Lin was sunbathing at home. When he saw Lin Dajun coming back, he asked hurriedly, "Are you back from the island?"

Lin Dajun said, "When I came back, I told my sister about the old house. My sister said that our Lin family has been divided, and the old house is Xiaowu's foundation, not our brothers'. We can't say that the old house is empty just because Xiaowu doesn't live there now. It's like when people in the village go to the county town to develop, their houses are empty, but you can't let others live in their houses."

Lin Dajun's words made Captain Lin blush. Of course, Lin Dajun didn't notice it, he was born with a simple mind. Lin Dajun continued: "But my sister said that if Erjun wants to live here, it's fine, although brothers should pay the bills, let alone Erjun's adopted brother? Xiaowu doesn't want Erjun's rent, but he needs Erjun to write an agreement and put his fingerprints on it."

Captain Lin: "What does it mean to write an agreement and put fingerprints on it?" He has lived for a long time, how could he not understand?

Lin Dajun: "My sister said that it is easier to invite a god than to send him away, so we need Erjun to sign the agreement. Erjun can live in Xiaowu's house, but he needs a deposit of 150 yuan. When Erjun moves out, the deposit will be returned to him. He doesn't need to worry that we won't pay him. We have signed the agreement."
