Chapter 66 white bread
A few minutes before the end of morning reading, Lin Wei went to the class for a spin.
Teacher Li came out of the next class and was about to enter the second class. When she saw Lin Wei coming back, she paused and waved to her. Lin Wei raised her hand and glanced at her watch. There were still three minutes before get out of class was over, so she told the monitor to let them go out of class on time.
After walking out of the classroom, Teacher Li asked, “How is it?”
“nothing at all.”
Teacher Li rushed into the classroom and raised his chin: “What’s wrong with Zhao Mei’s hand injury?”
Lin Wei replied, “In the activity class on Saturday, pulling weeds hurt my hand.”
Teacher Li breathed a sigh of relief, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was not quite right: “Then how did Gao Xiulian say that you beat him?”
“It’s hard to say.” Lin Wei said helplessly.
Teacher Li recalled the past grievances between the two and asked in a low voice, “She did it on purpose? Why did she do this?”
“Listening to what she meant, I think she wanted to mess with my work and get me kicked out of school,” Lin Wei said with a sigh, “but she insisted that Zhao Mei lied, she was deceived by her daughter.”
Teacher Li couldn’t believe it: “That’s her daughter!”
Lin Wei was silent and did not speak.
Not everyone in this world is more than worthy of becoming a parent, such as Gao Xiulian, Mrs. Qi, and even Chen Bamei’s parents.
Teacher Li remembered again: “Why does she want to disturb your work? She complained behind her back before, disturbing your work in the hospital pharmacy is not enough, and now she has to disturb your job, is she eyeing you? No, What happened before is that she was wrong, you don’t remember hating her, why does she hate you so much?”
Lin Wei guessed: “Maybe… it’s because I have a grudge, so I can’t see that I’m doing well.”
“This person… is too scary.” Teacher Li murmured, “Thanks to her being a military sister-in-law, I really don’t know what Deputy Head Zhao’s vision is, looking for such a person… Then how to deal with this matter?”
“So be it.”
“What is this like?”
“She apologized and let it go.”
“that’s it?”
“What can I do? The principal wanted to report to the army and asked them to send someone to investigate, but do you know what Gao Xiulian said?” Lin Wei asked.
“What did she say?”
“She said that Zhao Mei was a liar and lied to her that the injury on her hand was caused by me. She was deceived before she came to the school to seek justice. She also asked the principal not to report it, saying that although Zhao Mei was of bad character, she was still in the dark. After all, she is a child, and the army sent someone down to investigate, she will be ruined in her life.” Lin Wei said with a gloomy mood.
Teacher Li heard the meaning and asked, “Is she using Zhao Mei to threaten you?”
“Um.”
Teacher Li said, “But the army really sent someone to investigate. It’s impossible for her to say what she said, right?”
“But she’s a real mother. She said that Zhao Mei has bad behavior. How many people can’t believe it?” Lin Wei asked. There is no camera recorder these days. What happened? It all depends on one mouth. Zhao Mei is a child. Black and white, how can you compare to Gao Xiulian.
What’s more, Zhao Mei will seek a life under Gao Xiulian’s hands in the future, so she can’t really offend people to death.
Teacher Li was speechless: “What kind of mother is she?”
Back in the office, Huang Aiyun also asked about Lin Wei’s situation. Other teachers in the office were also there, so they asked what was wrong. Lin Wei repeated what she said to Teacher Li, almost as usual.
Huang Aiyun was short-tempered and couldn’t help it after hearing it: “Is this Gao Xiulian sick?”
Zhao Yanhua wondered: “What do you think she is doing this for?”
“What can I do? It’s not good to see people.” Huang Aiyun curled her lips, “It’s just that the hospital pharmacy job was assigned to Lin Wei, is there any obstacle to her? But she just wants to make trouble, and it’s not enough to make trouble once, and make trouble for the first time. twice.”
Zhao Yanhua sighed: “It’s all military wives, why bother.”
Huang Aiyun rolled his eyes and said, “Come on, for the sake of being a military sister-in-law, let’s laugh at everyone. What about her? You haven’t understood the fact that she was transferred from the window to the back kitchen?”
The teacher surnamed Wu in the office asked, “What happened to that?”
Another teacher surnamed Xu said, “That’s right, Gao Xiulian doesn’t cook for Jiang Ling, isn’t it because there are too many people in the queue, so I didn’t pay attention to it for a while, did I miss it?”
“You listen to her nonsense, don’t say that there were not many people in line that day, even if she is really busy, she has been eating for so long, how can she not feel it for a while? And before the meal, Jiang Ling had just quarreled with her. Don’t you think it’s too coincidental?” Huang Aiyun and Jiang Ling have a good relationship, and they know a lot about what happened before.
Teacher Wu asked, “Have they quarreled?”
“Of course, and it’s not just Jiang Ling, there was an argument with her before, or a bad relationship, she would beat people for food less, but the amount was not much, and other people were not sure, so they didn’t make trouble, just went to other places. I want to eat at the window.” Huang Aiyun said, “Anyway, Gao Xiulian has a heart smaller than a needle, so I don’t like dealing with her.”
Several other teachers in the office nodded again and again, even Zhao Yanhua, who had a soft personality, couldn’t help but be glad that she didn’t have to be a neighbor with Gao Xiulian.
As a result, the sympathetic eyes of the whole office were focused on Lin Wei.
Lin Wei: “…”
…
Lin Wei has five classes in a row today, so she doesn’t have time to buy groceries, and it’s almost twelve o’clock after school, so she doesn’t really want to cook at noon.
Just after eating at noon last Saturday, the lunch box was never brought back, so Lin Wei took it to the state-run restaurant and ordered two meals.
The canteen of the military area primary school mainly serves student meals, and most of the students are not well-off, and the meals they can pay are limited. In order to save costs, the meals in the canteen are mainly vegetarian, and occasionally eggs or seafood are provided.
Most of the teachers in the school are from good families. Therefore, after the state-run restaurants have opened up to supply large pot meals, the teachers are more willing to go to the restaurants at noon and evening.
Because the school opened at noon earlier than other units, there were no people when Lin Wei arrived at the state-run hotel.
So as soon as she entered the family area, Lin Wei ran into Liu Dan, and she also had several lunch boxes in her hand. Obviously, not only did she eat in the cafeteria at noon, but also the children at home.
Seeing Lin Wei alone, Liu Dan asked, “Where are your two children?”
Lin Wei explained: “When I went out in the morning, I ran into Xiao Shishi, and they refused to go to school with me, so I let them play at Xiao Shishi’s house.”
“What I said.” Liu Dan was stunned, glanced left and right, and said to Lin Wei in a low voice, “It’s time for the old witch to leave the island.”
Listening to Liu Dan’s name, Lin Wei couldn’t help looking up and looking left and right. Seeing that the people who came and went didn’t pay much attention to them, she lowered her voice and asked, “When are you leaving?”
Liu Dan said: “The ship tomorrow night is just for the headquarters.”
Lin Wei asked, “Headquarters? Zhan City?”
After marrying Zong Shao, Lin Wei will pay special attention to the news of the navy. After going to the island, her understanding of the navy has deepened a lot.
The domestic navy is divided into three fleets, named after the sea area. Like the Yangcheng base, the Sanlin base is affiliated with the South China Sea Fleet, and the headquarters of the South China Sea Fleet is located in Zhan City.
Although they called the headquarters of Sanlin Base as the headquarters, since Yazhou Island was the starting point, of course the headquarters Liu Dan spoke of could not be here.
It’s just that although Zhan City is very close to Yazhou Island, especially Yecheng, it only takes a few hours to get there by boat. But if they are going back to their hometown, after arriving in Zhan City, they often have to take the train to Yangcheng for transit, and then go to various places.
Therefore, if the officers on the island want to go back to their hometown, if they are not in a hurry, the first choice is basically to take a boat to Yangcheng, which can reduce the number of transfers and is more friendly to people with a lot of luggage.
The end of the boat that Qi Tao arranged for his mother and younger brother was in Zhan City, which shows that he was really in a hurry to send them away.
Liu Dan nodded: “That’s not true. After Mrs. Qi found out about this last night, she made a scene at home again, saying that she had headaches and chest pains, and she didn’t even eat dinner.”
“What’s the reaction of Commander Qi?”
“Qi Tao said that if Mrs. Qi is uncomfortable, he will send her to the military hospital, and the hospital is also on duty at night. If Mrs. Qi’s appetite is not good enough to eat, it’s okay to be hungry, anyway, a meal is not bad, wait It’s the same when you have a good appetite.”
“Has Madam Qi finally eaten?”
“I’ve eaten, my appetite is better than anyone else, I only ate two bowls of rice!” Liu Dan raised two fingers, glanced at the watch on his wrist, and said, “I won’t talk to you, I have to Hurry up and get dinner, the children are waiting at home.”
Lin Wei said goodbye, separated from Liu Dan, and walked to the depths of the family area.
When she was about to arrive at Zhou’s house, Lin Wei saw Zhao Mei. Although she could only see her back, she could see that she was crying by raising her hand to wipe her eyes while she was walking.
Lin Wei frowned slightly and shouted, “Zhao Mei.”
Hearing the sound, Zhao Mei stopped and turned to look over, her voice choked and shouted, “Mr. Lin.”
Looking at the tears on her face, Lin Wei walked up to her quickly and asked, “Why did you come back alone? Have you eaten lunch?”
Lin Wei was fine if she didn’t ask, but she couldn’t help it when she asked Zhao Mei, and burst into tears: “Mom says I’m a bad boy, don’t give me food uuuuuuuuuuu…”
“What about your brother and brother?” Lin Wei asked.
“They all have food, but I don’t…” Zhao Mei touched her stomach and said aggrievedly, “I’m so hungry.”
Lin Wei was furious in her heart, took Zhao Mei’s hand and said, “Let’s go, the teacher will take you to dinner!”
…
When she arrived at Zhou’s house, Chen Bamei just came out of the kitchen carrying the dishes. Seeing Zhao Mei beside Lin Wei, she asked in surprise, “Sister Lin, who are you?”
“It’s hard to say.” Lin Wei sighed and said, “She didn’t eat at noon. I’ll take her back to eat together. Where is Ruirui?”
As soon as she finished speaking, she jumped in through the back door, jumped into her arms and shouted, “Mom, are you out of school?”
“Well, how did you play in the morning?” Lin Wei hugged the little guy and asked him to wipe the sweat off his face.
“Happy!” Mingming didn’t hesitate, and thought, “If only I could be so happy every day.” His eyes peeked at Lin Wei, thinking that her mother is so smart, she should be able to understand me, right?
Lin Wei understood his hint, and then rudely pulled him out of her arms: “It’s time for us to go back to eat.”
Chen Bamei said as soon as she heard it, “Why don’t you just eat here, I cook a lot for lunch.”
“When I came back, I went to the state-run restaurant to get food.” Lin Wei said, taking out the lunch box from the bag she was carrying.
“Don’t you want Xiaomei to eat too? Are the four of you not enough?” Chen Bamei insisted again, “Let’s eat together, I really cooked too much at noon, and Xiao Shi and I will definitely not be able to finish it.”
“Sister Deng won’t come back to eat at noon?”
“They have a new batch of medicinal materials in their pharmacy. They are very busy these days.” Chen Bamei asked, “How many bowls of rice can I get you?”
Lin Wei said, “Take four and finish my meal first.”
Knowing what she said, Chen Bamei agreed to stay for dinner, so she answered with a smile, went into the room and washed four clean bowls for Lin Wei, and then brought out two more bowls of rice.
In fact, Chen Bamei only cooked two dishes, one was scrambled eggs with green peppers, and the other was braised potatoes, but the portions were so large that two people couldn’t finish them all.
Lin Wei, on the other hand, has a lot of dishes. The meat dishes include roasted chicken with potatoes and stir-fried scallops. The vegetarian dishes include dried beans and hot and sour cabbage. There is also a plate of cold seaweed. But each dish is small and will be enough for three mothers and children.
The dishes of the two were put together, but the dishes were rich and the portions were more.
The four children were very happy to eat, especially Mingming. After eating and drinking, he pulled up the hem of his clothes, revealing his round and fat belly.
Because there are too many delicious fruits on Yazhou Island, watermelon is no longer a special place in Mingming’s heart.
And the military sister-in-law who cooks in the school cafeteria, because she is from the north, makes two or three steamed buns with white noodles and eats them in Shicheng, which are bigger than what they ate on the boat when they first came to Yazhou Island, which surprised Mingming for a long time.
So after eating and drinking, the watermelon belly is no longer mentioned, and now all he thinks of is the steamed bread with white flour.
