Chapter 129: Another Surprise
Coming out of Luo Qiaozhen's house, Lin Tong also held several books in his hand.
Luo Qiaozhen and his wife are both people who love to read, and Lin Tong saw that some books were only heard by people of her era in her previous life, so she borrowed them.
Back at the hotel, the market opposite was already calm, and the aunt told her, "After arguing for a long time, she didn't make a noise and withdrew, and no one took advantage of it, and the old lady said that if she dared to come again, she would come to her again, so that she couldn't sell it." ”
Lin Tong was amused when she heard it, this old lady was also quite interesting.
Alas, how could she sound so relieved!
The aunt looked at the green fruits and asked her, "What do you want to eat so much?" This can't be eaten! ”
Lin Tong thought for a while, "Let's share a little bit with the other aunts in the hotel!" ”
The aunt pouted, "No one is rare, so you take this as a good thing." ”
Lin Tong smiled, "Then take it back, buy some sugar to boil, and then put it in the jar to marinate it into canned food." ”
When the aunt heard this, "This is a good idea, I don't know if it's okay to cook it so sourly?" Don't spoil the sugar. ”
"I think it's delicious! Canned hawthorn is so sour, everyone still loves to eat it! "Lin Tong hasn't gotten it either, she won't eat this kind of fruit in the past!
The aunt is very speechless, can it be the same, is it comparable?
There were so many that Lin Tong couldn't take it, so he just carried some food, took a little less and went back to eat freshly, loaded the lantern fruit, and led the child home.
Rhubarb wagged his tail and rolled at Xiao Nian's feet, and from time to time he barked twice to welcome them back.
When the uncle and aunt came back in the evening, they not only brought back the fruit, but also some sugar.
This is the advantage of running a restaurant, and you can buy many in-demand goods.
Lin Tong washed the fruit, set aside a small part to eat, put the rest into the pot, added a lot of sugar to cook, the soup was viscous, and poured it into the cleaned jar.
Xu Nian spun around the altar greedily.
Lin Tong didn't plan to keep it and not eat it, she didn't know how long the shelf life of the one she had gotten was, and if she was going to spoil it, she would really be blind to those sugars.
Give Xu Nian some to eat every day, sweet and sour, and she is also addicted to eating it herself.
On the contrary, it is the uncle and aunt, who may be old and don't like too sour, so they refuse to eat it again after eating it once.
On the weekend, the aunt's son and daughter's family came back, and Lin Tong brought a jar for one of them when they left.
Lin Tong didn't expect that Luo Qiao's really lover would do such a thing, and she came back from Luo's house, but two days later, an invitation from the writers' association was put on her table.
Lin Tong joined the county writers' association and became a writer.
For this reason, the uncle and aunt also specially invited Galu and Luo Qiaozhen and their children to celebrate Lin Tong.
One day in late August, the weather was noticeably cooler.
Lin Tong went to tear the cloth and buy cotton, preparing to make cotton clothes for himself and Xu Nian.
The aunt urged her several times, and if she didn't do it again, she might change the sky and start snowing one day, but it was not a joke.
The aunt was in the restaurant, helped her exchange some cloth tickets and cotton tickets, and asked someone to go out to the city to buy some high-priced cotton.
Lin Tong doesn't know how to make cotton clothes, she can make clothes, and cotton clothes were made by Xu Xiaowan before.
The aunt said that she wanted to make it for her, but she was so busy with work every day, and she had to make cotton clothes for her family at night, Lin Tong was embarrassed to trouble her, so she watched what she did at night, and tinkered with it when she was alone at home during the day.
In two or three days, she made cotton clothes and cotton pants for Xu Nian.
On this day, I was about to make my own, and the cotton had just been spread, and Luo Qiaozhen came.
Lin Tong poured her a glass of warm water and brought her snacks to eat.
"The dim sum you took last time, I took it back to your dad and my mom, and they all said it was delicious." Luo Qiaozhen took the water, didn't drink it, put it aside and said, "Guess, what am I here for?" ”
Lin Tong sat down opposite her and said with a smile, "I don't know." ”
Luo Qiaozhen said helplessly: "Then you also ask me something?" ”
Lin Tong was as good as a stream, "Do you have something to do today?" ”
Luo Qiao really smiled proudly: "Can't I come to you to play if it's okay?" ”
"Of course, you are welcome in my family at any time." Lin Tong said this sincerely, and pushed the dim sum over, "No matter what, it's rare for you to come, eat here at noon, and try my craftsmanship today." ”
When the aunt was treated, it was the spoon in the uncle's hand, and Luo Qiao really hadn't eaten the food she cooked.
"You don't have to taste it, it's sure to be delicious, just look at the dim sum you make."
"Not necessarily, maybe I'll make a delicious snack!" Lin Tong joked.
Xu Nian said loudly on the side: "My mother's cooking is also delicious. ”
Luo Qiaozhen smiled and teased him, "In your eyes, isn't it good for your mother to do anything?" ”
Xu Nian said proudly: "Yes, my mother is the best!" ”
Luo Qiao couldn't help but be happy, "You little sycophant!" ”
Lin Tong smiled and patted his son's little buttocks, "Go play with Rhubarb!" ”
Luo Qiaozhen asked her: "I came this time, I really have something, tomorrow I will go to the town to do something, I want to ask if you will go back?" It's too long to sit in the car, it's boring to be alone, and I want to find a companion! ”
She never knew the truth about Lin Tong's move to the county, and kindly invited her to go back and have a look.
Lin Tong hesitated.
Not long after she came to stay, the army sent her a remittance slip.
It was sent by Liu Ailian.
She hadn't been to town and couldn't withdraw the money.
It's not much, but dozens of dollars are money!
"Okay, then I'll go with you tomorrow." Withdrawing money is one thing, just to thank Liu Ailian.
"Great. I knew I was looking for you. Luo Qiaozhen slapped him violently, "And one more good thing, guess what?" ”
Lin Tong said angrily: "How do I know, if you have anything to say, just say it!" ”
"When I get back from town, I'll have to start school." Luo Qiaozhen looked at her and said.
Lin Tong nodded, "Yes, it's almost September 1st, and the days go by so fast." "I don't know when Xu Zhenhua will come back?
Her thoughts drifted a little far, and Luo Qiaozhen waved his hand in front of her, "What's wrong?" Come back to your senses? What do you think? ”
"It's okay, I just feel that the days are too fast, I've been here for almost half a year."
The two of them went back and forth, but they didn't get down to business.
Luo Qiao really stroked his forehead helplessly, "You can really hold your breath!" If I don't say it, you don't ask. She muttered quietly, "How can I be in front of you, as if I have become smaller." ”
Lin Tong smiled, she also understood her character, she was a kind girl, and she couldn't hide her words.
Otherwise, I couldn't have told her that I was going to get married in the first place, so that she didn't have to worry.
"That's right." Luo Qiao cleared his throat and said seriously: "Lin Tong, do you want to be a teacher?" ”
After speaking, he looked at her with bright eyes and looked at her with anticipation.
Being a teacher?
This unexpected surprise was a bit big, and Lin Tong was a little caught off guard.
"Is it an elementary school teacher?" Lin Tong hesitated and asked, "Do you have a way to make me a teacher?" ”
Luo Qiaozhen pouted, "How can I have that ability!" It was our principal, who had dinner with my dad a few days ago, and when he heard about you, he came to me and said that the school was going to recruit a substitute teacher, and asked if you would like to come? ”
Lin Tong lived in an era where there was no substitute teacher for a long time.
She hesitated, "Substitute teacher? Will it delay her time, she won't be able to earn a lot of money, and she will have to listen to others?
She had heard before that her grandmother had been a substitute teacher when she was young, and she had since turned to a formal one.
If it can't be officially changed, the salary is very low, and she doesn't want to work in vain.
"Oh, you just say yes! Although you are a substitute teacher, you are a military family member and a writer, so it is definitely no problem to become a regular teacher. Luo Qiaozhen said: "I'm not tired of going to school, and I can talk to other teachers without anything, no better than you being stuffy at home?" Moreover, Xiao Nian will go to school immediately, and you are also in school, which is also a good thing for Xiao Nian! ”
When she said this, Lin Tong was a little tempted.
Teachers are very respectful in this day and age.
My grandmother and grandmother were both teachers, and when I retired, my salary was very high.
Lin Tong is about to agree, let's try it first, if you can't turn positive after a year and a half, then don't do it!
She suddenly remembered one thing, when she first joined the Writers' Association, some people questioned it.
She smiled bitterly: "I'm willing to give it a try, but I don't have a diploma, I haven't graduated from primary school, I don't even have a graduation certificate, can I use it in school?" ”
Luo Qiaozhen didn't know this.
"I don't know about this, I'll go back and ask our principal!" She sighed, "You said that all of you who didn't graduate from elementary school have become writers, what's wrong with being an elementary school teacher?" ”
Lin Tong shrugged, "Then I have to ask your leaders." ”
She didn't really want to be this teacher, but Luo Qiaozhen was right, she had to integrate into this society and get in touch with other people.
I'm at home all day like this, and I've really become an otaku after a long time.
"By the way, do you want to report a night out? With a diploma, it is also fast to become a regular. If you have the level and ability, it is no problem to be a middle school teacher, but what you lack is a diploma. Luo Qiaozhen gave her an idea.
"My dad said that he will pay more and more attention to diplomas in the future, if you are not married, you can go to college directly by taking the college entrance examination."
Lin Tong is not interested in going to college.
In her previous life, she had been studying for too many years, and she had learned enough.
Without waiting for her to speak, Luo Qiaozhen shook his head, "No, there is no night in our county, if you want to read it in the city or the capital of the autonomous region, alas, yes, how did I forget, read the university!" I have a colleague who graduated from elementary school and is now studying at the University of Electrical Engineering. ”
"You don't have to go to class, you can just take the exam when the time comes, I heard that it's not strict at all."
Lin Tong originally wanted to say no, but after listening to her last sentence, he changed his mind, "Okay, wait for you to help me inquire, if you can, study at the University of Electrical Engineering!" ”
In the decades that followed, diplomas were important.
Anyone who does not have a diploma is in correspondence or at night after participating in the work, and there are many years in the later period, and all units, including some state-owned enterprises, and party schools also abound.
That's not to go to school for promotion, it's just to get this diploma.
It can be seen how important a diploma was in those years!
