Sichuan, Leshan.
Leshan No. 1 Elementary School.
"There are two boats in the river, one going back and forth. The going boat is going fast because the wind is smooth and the sail is hung on the mast. The coming boat is going slowly when the wind is against it and the oars are used to move the water."
The students in the school read Chinese Chinese loudly along with the teacher.
A bell rang outside. .
"get out of class is over."
The teacher, whose hair was slightly gray but neatly combed and not messy, and wearing a gray gown, put down his book.
"Thank you for your hard work, teacher. Goodbye, teacher."
The students stood up together, bowed and said loudly.
"Teacher He."
Jia Hebi, director of political education, walked in.
"Director Jia, is something wrong?"
"It's a little trivial."
Jia Hebi was famous as a smiling tiger in school: "Have you heard about the recent disaster in Henan?"
"Yes, I heard about it."
"It's a major national disaster, and the government provides disaster relief. You and I are both responsible."
Jia Hebi looked worried about the country and the people: "Therefore, after discussing with Principal Pang, we decided to start a fund-raising campaign for Henan in the whole school. For each teacher, the donations raised will be directly deducted from the salary according to the family situation.
You, Teacher He, are single and don’t have much monthly expenses, so I took it upon myself to donate thirty-five yuan for you. What do you think? "
Teacher He was startled, then smiled bitterly: "Since Director Jia has already made the decision for me, why are you asking for my opinion?"
Teachers in the Republic of China had a very high status and generous salaries. Even elementary school teachers had a monthly salary of forty yuan. And the most noteworthy thing is that even though French currency has long been the legal currency of the country, teachers’ salaries are always paid in silver dollars.
If you go to college, the salary will be even more amazing.
The most shocking thing is that although corruption existed on a large scale at that time, the teacher's salary was as stable as a mountain.
Investment in education has become a public account for society, and no one dares to think about it easily.
From the warlords of all sizes during the earliest domestic melee to later officials at all levels of the Republic of China government, other money would be appropriated and misappropriated, but education funds could not be touched.
Teacher He’s monthly salary is 40 yuan. This time, he was “donated” 35 yuan without his knowledge.
He knew that Jia and Bi were deliberately retaliating against him.
He applied for a job here and was single. Apart from buying books, he didn't have any hobbies. He only had simple food and didn't spend much money every month.
As the director of political education in the school, Jia Hebi is a role model, but together with the principal Pang Chengqi, they eat, drink, whore, gamble, and do nothing but good things.
In Leshan No. 1 Elementary School, any pretty female teachers were harassed to varying degrees by them.
Their background is so tough that no one can do anything to them.
Some time ago, Jia Hebi knew that Teacher He had savings, so he came to "borrow" money from him, and the initial offer was two hundred yuan, but Teacher He did not agree.
From then on, Jia and Bi even had a grudge, and they always put Teacher He's shoes on them.
Teacher He is kind and doesn't care about anything.
This time, due to the Henan disaster, Jia and Bi also intensified their efforts.
Seeing that Teacher He had no objection, Jia Hebi said "Okay, okay".
This month I asked you to donate thirty-five yuan. Next month, you will wait for me.
Seeing Jia Hebi's triumphant back as he left, Teacher He shook his head, packed up the teaching aids, and returned to the office.
Several teachers in an office were warming up food and chatting.
"Teacher He, get out of class is over."
A beautiful young female teacher in her twenties greeted Teacher He warmly as soon as she saw him.
Her name is Qin Gulan and she teaches English.
She also has an older sister named Qin Guyu who teaches music.
This pair of sisters, both of whom are not married, are so beautiful that they have attracted the covetous attention of many married and unmarried male teachers in the school.
Although the two are sisters, their personalities are completely different.
The younger sister is aggressive and the older sister is cowardly.
Principals Pang Chengqi and Jia Hebi would often make excuses to eat Qin Guyu's tofu, but Qin Guyu could only swallow his anger and dare not tell anyone.
The younger sister Qin Gulan was different. One time Jia Hebi tried to take advantage of her, but she angrily scolded her face to face. Jia Hebi was so disgraced that he couldn't get off the stage at all.
Strangely enough, Qin Gulan's eyes were so high that none of the young teachers in the school looked down upon him, but Teacher He was very fond of him after he came.
Although Teacher He is slightly older, he is gentle and personable. There is no subject that he does not know about natural history science, domestic and foreign affairs.
Several times, he helped correct Qin Gulan's English pronunciation.
After learning that Teacher He was still single, Qin Gulan even greeted him.
It was clear that Xiao Nizi was infatuated. She had her eyes set on the man who was old enough to be her father.
Teacher He is not stupid. Of course he understands. One time, when no one was around, he said to Qin Gulan: "I am forty-eight, and I am about to turn fifty. I am getting older, and some things are not suitable for me."
He beat around the bush, but Qin Gulan did not hesitate: "You are only forty-eight!"
Anyway, no matter what Teacher He's attitude is, Qin Gulan is obsessed with it.
During lunch, Teacher He was fine with everything except for a strange problem. He only ate the steamed buns he brought with him. Even the pickles were carried in his bag and would never be left in the office.
"Teacher He, try the braised pork I made. It's delicious."
Qin Gulan showed off and took out a lunch box of braised pork.
It's good when it's hot, steaming, and as tempting as it looks.
Teacher He swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "I don't like meat."
Qin Gulan snorted dissatisfied: "You are good at everything, but you are too cowardly and useless."
"Old He, what Xiao Qin said is true, you are really useless."
A teacher on the side also said: "I heard that Jia forced you to donate thirty-five yuan? You didn't even bother to fart? Aren't you clearly bullying you?"
Teacher He smiled: "They have a backing, and we can't compete with them. Besides, isn't this money also donated to the disaster-stricken areas in Henan? Forget it, forget it."
Several teachers shook their heads.
Have you ever seen a coward? Have you ever seen someone so cowardly?
…
After school.
Sister Qin Guyu packed her things and was about to get off work when Jia Hebi suddenly walked in: "Teacher Qin, the Education Bureau's inspection is coming tomorrow. There are some teaching matters that need to be discussed."
Qin Guyu was startled.
Originally, she and her sister came off work together every time.
But this afternoon, my sister had something to do and went back first.
"Director Jia, I have something to do at home."
"Is it more important to do things at home or at school?" Jia Hebi said with a straight face: "If the inspection is not satisfactory, the whole school will suffer. Don't harm the whole school because of one person. You don't have much time, at most half Hours, hurry up, I'm waiting for you in the political classroom."
Qin Guyu was timid and did not dare to resist: "I understand."
