Tian Liang's words reassured Kuang Lu a little. It turned out that this was his plan, but Kun was too careless to arrange for such a person to be the principal of the school. However, he still bowed his hand and said, "It's easy to talk, but Kuang has just returned." I'll make plans after I settle down in my hometown. I'll definitely pay you a visit someday." After saying that, he left for Zeng Salmon's boat.
Looking at Kuang Lu's retreating figure, Tian Liang did not forget to shout: "Please come and take the civil service examination!"
"See you later." Kuang Lu floated in response as she was drifting away.
"Sir, are you really going to be a teacher at the Kun Thief School?" Kuang Yan was a little curious.
Kuang Lu hit him on the head with her fan: You and I have just come back, and we don’t know the situation in our hometown. Such a petty official is the most evil and has power in his hands. If you offend him, there will be endless troubles. Don't bother with him now, just agree casually. "
Kuang Yan covered his head and muttered: "I understand, Young Master. The Master said, 'A gentleman is about righteousness, and a villain is about profit.' Today I know that what the sage said is true. These mud-legged people have to tell their children even when they are sent to school." The word 'profit'."
Kuang Lu said calmly: "How can you and I not be the same?"
After watching Kuang Lu leave and the villagers dispersed, Tian Liang said to Hou Qing with some embarrassment: "Sister Qing, I think I am very stupid. I can't do anything well. My promotion is always a few beats behind the same period. I can’t speak either…”
Hou Qing consoled him: "You fool, people who are smooth-tongued may not be reliable in their work. The chief arranged for you to be the principal of Nanhai Demonstration School. He must also think that you are loyal and reliable."
"But I'm afraid I can't do it well."
"Don't worry, I'm here, Wen Yong will also help you."
Tian Liang was promoted to company commander before the Northern Expedition. The 3rd Company of the 1st Battalion under his command belonged to the Eastern Route Army. Under the leadership of Fu Sansi, he attacked the Chaoshan area.
The East Route Army defeated the Ming Army Group led by the Deputy Commander-in-Chief of Guangdong without spending much effort, and swept across the entire eastern Guangdong in a devastating manner. However, not long afterward, they, like the various troops in other directions, fell into a long-term security war.
Chaoshan area has strong clan power and strong folk customs. The local powerful clans have never been very supportive of the government, let alone outsiders like them. Although the prefectures and counties were easily captured, the directors appointed by the county committees did not leave the city gates under the government orders. There were government orders to be implemented, and the clerks did not dare to leave the city without sending the national army to escort them. Even when they went to the countryside, they were often attacked by local warriors. , heavy casualties.
In order to establish the majesty of the Senate's rule, the Eastern Route Army fought almost every day, attacking cities and villages everywhere. He also had close encounters with the enemy several times, but luckily he was not seriously injured. However, after falling into the water during a battle, he choked on the sewage, contracted aspiration pneumonia, and was sent to a field hospital for treatment. It was there that he met Hou Qing.
As the head nurse of the East Route Army Field Hospital, Hou Qing's responsibility is to organize the care of the wounded. Due to shortage of manpower, as a cadre, she often had to go to the ward to check beds in the middle of the night. One night when I was adding medicine to Tian Liang's infusion bottle, he held his hand and refused to let me go, shouting "Sanniang, Sanniang". Hou Qing angrily thought that the wounded man was deliberately eating her tofu, but it turned out that it was the nonsense caused by high fever, so he forgave him.
As the antibacterial drugs took effect, Tian Liang gradually woke up from the high fever and realized that the person taking care of him day and night was not his Sanniang, but the thin "Sister Qing" in front of him. He felt disappointed but grateful at the same time. As time goes by, the relationship becomes familiar. Tian Liang would tell her his past stories, how he and Sanniang came to Lingao, how they grew up in Lingao, and vividly describe to her the thrilling details of the Battle of Chengmai, as well as his feelings for Sanniang. .
Hou Qing asked him if he knew Guo Fu's thoughts, and he said he didn't know.
Tian Liang asked her if she knew Sanniang's thoughts, and she said she didn't know. She was still an older leftover girl and didn't understand this.
Tian Liang opened his mouth after hearing this. According to the concept of the Ming Dynasty, a woman who is not married in her twenties is already an old girl. Hou Qing is already twenty-seven years old, and he has not yet found his in-laws.
Hou Qing told him that she was originally engaged, but before she got married, she encountered a natural disaster and her parents died one after another. She had no choice but to flee with her younger brother Hou Wenyong, and finally arrived in Guangzhou and was taken in by the Senate. She was assigned to the medical school. She was already twenty years old at this time, but at Dean Shi's place, there was too much knowledge to learn and too many patients to treat. There was no time to consider personal issues, so she was "left". Come down.
Tian Liang comforted her not to worry, a good woman like her would definitely find a good home. Hou Qing was happy to hear this, but she knew very well that it was impossible for her to have a good ending in her current situation. Her face and figure were no better than those of the female secretaries in the College of Arts and Sciences, so it was naturally impossible for her to catch the eye of the chief. All the naturalized civilian cadres with similar conditions and similar ages have already married and started businesses, and it is impossible for her to become someone else's concubine as she grew up under the red flag of the Senate. She doesn't like men with poor conditions, and men who are younger don't like her. As his younger brother Hou Wenyong grew up, he also began to become anxious. Relying on his relationship with the chief, he introduced several partners to Hou Qing, but in the end nothing happened. In short, it's such an embarrassing situation. If you can't do it well, you can't do it low.
That day, Tian Liang was about to be discharged from the hospital. Veteran Hippo led a team to the Chaoshan area to inspect the army's health work. In the ward of the field hospital, Tian Liang finally met Fu Mei, who had been thinking about it day and night. She had followed Hippo out to guide the health work. , he was so excited that he was speechless.
Guo Fu knew that it was time to make something clear, so she asked Tian Liang to talk alone. They thought they would have countless things to say after not seeing each other for so many years, but in fact they fell into silence for more than ten minutes. After chatting again, they both found that the other party was no longer the same person as them.
"Is the chief treating you well?" Tian Liang still remembered his last question.
"Okay." Guo Fu replied, with a faint smile, her childish face was so dignified and beautiful.
After Guo Fu left, Tian Liang stayed alone in the ward for a long time. During Hou Qing's ward rounds, he found that he had not left. Tian Liang told Hou Qing about the meeting between him and Guo Fu. He said that he felt that he had suddenly lost his goal in life and did not know what the meaning of his life was.
Hou Qing was not a person who was good at comforting others. After holding it in for a long time, he suddenly remembered a philosophical saying he heard from Chief Lin Motian, so he gave it to Tian Liang. She said: "There are two great tragedies between old friends. One is that you never see the person you want to see, and the other is that you do."
Tian Liang cried, crying for the first time in front of a woman.
Later, after the war had calmed down, the Senate decided to launch a vigorous construction movement in Guangdong and Guangxi. Due to the extreme shortage of local cadres, some soldiers and officers who were not suitable for further development in the army were selected and transferred to local posts to support local construction. Tian Liang was on the list of these cadres. Hou Qing's younger brother Hou Wenyong first served as the district chief of Nanhai District, and later was transferred to the secretary-general of Guangzhou Special City, still in charge of Nanhai District. So Hou Qing used this relationship to arrange Tian Liang to the important position of Nanhai National Model School.
Of course, Tian Liang may not all know the story behind this.
He was completely ignorant when he received the notice. Based on his education and qualifications, he could be assigned to any position after retirement, but he never expected that he would be asked to go to the education department.
Tian Liang, the principal of Nanhai National Demonstration School and the superintendent of schools in Nanhai County, put aside the big and small issues. Tian Liang, who knew his level well, hurried to the human resources department to consult and asked if he had made a mistake.
Unexpectedly, the HR department insisted that there was no mistake. Tian Liang had no choice but to take office.
The Nanhai National School is the three "basic points" of the Senate educational institution in Guangdong. The first one is of course the Guangzhou National Model School, which is a comprehensive full-time school based on the Fangcaodi model. It includes all education categories at three levels: junior primary school, upper primary school, and middle school. Ten-year education model. According to the academic level of students, students who cannot keep up will be eliminated and outstanding students will be admitted at both the high school and middle school levels. Those who can graduate in the end are all the elites among the naturalized people.
Due to limited resources, there is only one such "senior school" in Guangdong and Guangxi. The next thing to be established, which has a somewhat popular significance, is the "national schools" in various places.
Although these national schools are also called national schools, they are essentially "elementary schools." According to Hu Qingbai's plan, during the Second Five-Year Plan period, Guangdong will establish a "national model high school" in every county and a "national model junior primary school" in each town.
The Nanhai National Demonstration School, where Tian Liang serves as the principal, is actually such a "national high school".
Although it is called "Nanhai County National Model School", because there is already a Guangzhou Model School in Guangzhou City, in order to reflect the idea of serving the townships, Nanhai National Model School is located in the west of Guangzhou City, adjacent to the newly built Dali Town of Foshan County. .
When Tian Liang arrived in Dali, he only had five naturalized civilian normal students at hand, and five "old soldiers" and "half-disabled soldiers" who had been retired from the army and served as guards and handymen. They happened to be in the same class and formed the Nanhai County National People's Congress. Model school team.
Although it is a key project for the education sector, Hu Qingbai cannot afford additional investment to build a school building - not to mention the county model school, even the Guangzhou model school can only make do by occupying the Guangzhou Academy. Therefore, the school address Tian Liang obtained was confiscated "enemy property". It was originally the ancestral hall of a large local family. Put up the sign and the school is open.
When a school opens, it must recruit students. The Senate was not yet able to provide compulsory education. Students still need to pay their own tuition fees for admission. Hu Qingbai actually set the tuition fee very low. According to strict calculations, this national school was fully occupied, and the tuition fees received were not enough to cover the salaries of the eleven of them. Not to mention that there are still 10% public-funded students here.
Even so, for more than two months after Tian Liang took office, the boss spent all his efforts on publicity. Seeing that the spring semester was about to start, there were still more than 30 vacancies for the 200 places in the first school year.
