Lin Nianhe's light words immediately stunned Zhou Chujiang on the spot.
He opened his mouth wide and stared at Lin Nianhe in disbelief.
After a while, he murmured: "You, how could you not remember me..."
Lin Nianhe didn't answer, but glanced at him with doubtful eyes.
It seems to be asking: Why should I remember you?
As a kind and good person, Lin Nianhe would never get involved with other people's dogs. If he insisted on rubbing against her, she would have no choice but to kick him away and put him out of his mind.
Lin Nianhe felt that Zhou Chujiang probably wouldn't have the slightest hope for her anymore since she had talked about this.
However, she ignored the most important issue.
Zhou Chujiang had been beaten before, by a double blow from Lin Nianhe and Su Yuncheng. He was even beaten up by a mixed team of men and women after returning home.
This couldn't stop him from continuing to get closer to Lin Nianhe, let alone just saying "Your name".
Zhou Chujiang quickly swept away his frustration and sat up straight.
He straightened his collar, assumed his most chic posture, and nodded slightly to Lin Nianhe: "Comrade Lin Nianhe, let me introduce myself again. My name is Zhou Chujiang."
The looks in the eyes of several girls turned to admiration when they looked at Zhou Chujiang.
With this indomitable energy, it would be a pity not to open up wasteland.
Lin Nianhe was a little speechless. She wanted to speak, but she sneezed first when she opened her mouth.
Wang Shumei suddenly laughed.
She handed her handkerchief to Lin Nianhe and said, "Look, this isn't someone scolding you, it's Comrade Su who is thinking about you, right?"
Lin Nianhe looked at the well-meaning Sister Shumei and responded with a shy smile.
Although she felt that these words would have little effect on Zhou Chujiang.
Indeed, Zhou Chujiang felt peaceful inside.
After such a long time, he had already convinced himself to accept the possibility that Lin Nianhe might have a partner. At the same time, he also formulated a series of plans - first to beat the mandarin ducks, and then to take advantage of the opportunity, and then...
Before Zhou Chujiang could think about it completely, the commune leaders came in together with Principal Wu.
The leader's surname was Feng Yuanshan. He was nearly fifty years old. He was so thin that his cheeks were sunken and he had two peanut-sized blisters on his lower lip. His eyes were bright and stern. He had his hair slicked back, and his hair was not messy at all. His collar was probably changed, and after fastening the buckle, it fit tightly with his neck, making him look a little suffocated.
Feng Yuanshan was holding a mottled enamel vat, with bright red stars on the white background.
He and Principal Wu sat down one after another. He did not speak immediately, but looked at the seven young people in front of him one by one, as if he wanted to imprint the appearance of each of them in his heart.
After a moment of silence, Feng Yuanshan spoke: "Comrades, young educated youth comrades, I am very happy to see you here."
Feng Yuanshan's voice was a bit unpleasant. His voice seemed hoarse and deep as if he had been talking for three days and three nights in a row.
"The village primary school in Shili Brigade was originally built with donations from well-meaning comrades. The commune does have difficulties with expenditures in this area. I believe Principal Wu has already discussed the issues of wages and work points with all the young comrades... Here, I will give Everybody apologize.”
As Feng Yuanshan spoke, he stood up and bowed deeply.
"I'm sorry, I can't afford to pay you the salary of a public teacher. The subsidy of five yuan a month is already the most money the commune can provide."
Feng Yuanshan straightened up, his eyes a little moist.
"But I still hope that you can take on the responsibility of teachers and educate our next generation... I know this is unfair to you, and I also know that education in rural areas is very difficult, but please hold on and just treat it as... just... It’s for the children, don’t let our schools be built in vain, don’t let our children have to climb mountains and ridges to go to school.”
Perhaps because of his voice, when Feng Yuanshan said these words, it made people feel even more depressed.
Feng Yuanshan took a deep breath and smiled.
He said: "From now on, if you have any difficulties or grievances, come to my office at any time. Even if you bang the table and scold me, I won't say anything... Just tell me if you have any difficulties, and I will do my best to solve them for you." Then there is the issue of returning to the city..."
"I won't stop you if you want to go back to the city, but you must tell me before you leave. We still have to choose a new teacher... We can't let the little ones come to school early in the morning without seeing the teacher."
Everyone felt a little stupid when they heard this.
For several people in the Shili Brigade, this was their first time seeing Feng Yuanshan. They never expected that content would be like this.
The silence in the conference room was a bit depressing.
Lin Nianhe licked her lips, looked at everyone's confused and overwhelmed expressions, and smiled.
She said: "Boss, before we only had work points, and most of us could only get five or six work points. Now we have ten centimeters and subsidies. The pay is really good."
She smiled with crooked eyebrows and continued: "The public teachers have a formal job, so it is inevitable that they will not be able to compare, and we have no intention of comparing."
Feng Yuanshan was stunned, looked at her, and then looked at the others hesitantly.
But I saw everyone else nodding in agreement.
"Yes, there is a subsidy. Hey, I can go home during the Chinese New Year." The first person to talk was Wen Lan. She was thinking about going home during the Chinese New Year, and she became extremely happy when she mentioned it.
"Leader, I won't go back to the city. I have no family anymore." Miao Hongqi clutched the corners of her clothes, her palms sweating. "The Shili Brigade is my home. They have all returned to the city, and I am supporting the village primary school."
Miao Hongqi rarely spoke when there were many people. After saying these two words, her face was already red.
"Yes, leader, the city is not much better than the countryside. Although our place is poorer, it is clean." Wang Shumei raised the corner of her mouth slightly and agreed.
Wang Xue looked at them and expressed her position: "Leader, no one in my family will help me get medical treatment. Don't worry."
After the lesbians finished speaking, everyone looked at Wang Dong unconsciously.
Wang Dong was confused.
No one told him before he came that there was still a part to express his determination!
He was not prepared!
Wang Dong opened his mouth, and after a while, he managed to say: "Well, I'm not in a hurry to go back to the city. I don't have a table tennis table at home."
Several girls cast disdainful glances at Wang Mutou.
In fact, they were not expressing their determination, but the atmosphere was heightened. Looking at Feng Yuanshan's lips that were blistered with worry, they simply told him the truth to reassure him.
No one thought that Wang Dong could pull out the table tennis table.
All I can say is that I am grateful to table tennis for sustaining Teacher Wang Dong’s teaching career.
Feng Yuanshan was stunned for a long time after hearing these words, and finally smiled.
His smile caused a blister on his lips, and he grimaced in pain.
It hurt, but he was still laughing, until tears fell from his eyes.
The others also laughed, their eyes widened as they smiled, waiting for his next words.
