"A person like Professor Chu is actually reduced to guarding the library in the county town, alas." Qin Ying sighed as she spoke. Both Professor Chu and her parents were the sufferers affected by this era.
"Mom, I want to give the teacher a apprenticeship gift. Can you help me think of something better to give?" Seeing her mother's expression, Su Qingyun knew that she was thinking of her grandma and grandpa again, so she quickly changed the subject.
Qin Ying really thought about it seriously, "Didn't you say that Professor Chu likes to write? How about giving him a better pen?"
"Okay, I think it's good." Su Qingyun's eyes lit up.
"In that case, I'll leave the pen matter to dad. In just two days I'll have to run with the motorcade again." Su Aimin promised, patting his chest.
Su Qingyun nodded, "Dad, please help me take a look, and I will give you money when the time comes."
"What are you paying for? What's dad's belongs to you."
"That won't work. This is a gift for the teacher. Of course I have to pay for it myself." Su Qingyun disagreed, "I still have a lot of bonuses."
Seeing his daughter like this, Su Aimin felt a little disgusted. He, as a father, could not compare to a newly recognized teacher in her daughter's heart. She had not bought herself a gift yet.
Qin Ying saw the way Su Aimin curled his lips secretly, and knew what he was thinking. She was helpless, how could someone so old be so petty?
She used some tricks on her daughter, and Su Qingyun understood instantly.
"Yunyun, where is the birthday gift you bought for your father?" Qin Ying asked Su Qingyun deliberately.
birthday present? Su Aimin suddenly raised his head, his eyes bright, "What gift?"
Su Qingyun ran back to the room and took out something, "Dad, this is a birthday gift I bought for you. Aren't you just about to go out with the motorcade? I gave you the gift in advance."
She unfolded the clothes in her hands. It was a thick, warm cotton coat with lots of cotton stuffing and the best material. Just such a piece cost Su Qingyun a lot of money.
"Dad, it's cold now. If you go out in the car, it will get even colder. So I bought you this dress. You will be warm when you wear it in the car."
"You kid, why did you buy a birthday present? You're so foreign." Su Aimin said with anger, his face had already turned into a flower of joy, and he couldn't even hide his happiness.
In rural areas, only the New Year's Day is more important, and birthdays are insignificant days. The most you can do is eat a bowl of noodles on your birthday. If the conditions are good, add an extra egg. Even if the birthday has passed, it is still considered to be another year. age.
Su Aimin stood up hurriedly, took off his coat and put on his clothes. He straightened his clothes, then calmed his face, and asked the mother and daughter expectantly, "How are you doing?"
"Be energetic!" Su Qingyun gave a thumbs up, which was very honorable to her father.
"I think it's good, too." Su Aimin's face almost broke with laughter. He walked a few steps in the house, "Not bad, I will wear this next time I go out in the car."
His majestic and high-spirited look did not look like he was following a car, but rather like he was going to a battlefield.
The mother and daughter couldn't hold it back and laughed out loud.
——————
The New Year is approaching, and the New Year atmosphere in the village has begun. Every household has pasted the characters "Fu" and couplets, and everyone has a smile on their face. Everyone's concept is that no matter how this year goes, they must be happy during the New Year. Be careful, otherwise you will be unlucky in the new year.
In this atmosphere, Qin Youfu couldn't be happy. He was thinking about school and couldn't eat or sleep well. He spent the whole day thinking about it.
"Why are you up so early in the morning?" Qin Youfu's daughter-in-law, Aunt Guifen, saw him sitting at the entrance of the courtyard in a state of trance early in the morning and asked, "Are you still thinking about school?"
"Can you not think about it? This day is getting closer day by day." Qin Youfu said irritably.
"You went to town yesterday and asked if there were any teachers assigned to us?"
"asked."
"several?"
"Just two." As he said this, Qin Youfu became even more upset. There were two teachers in such a big school, what should they do?
"So few?" Aunt Guifen also frowned.
"That's why I'm worried. Where can I find so many teachers?" Qin Youfu scratched his hair in worry.
"If that doesn't work, just one teacher can teach a few more classes. There's no other way." Aunt Guifen gave him some advice.
"No." Qin Youfu flatly vetoed, "The purpose of setting up this school is not to be like the previous kind of teaching, where everything is handled by one teacher. This is not conducive to student education and the teacher cannot control it."
"What should we do?" This doesn't work, that doesn't work, and Aunt Guifen has nothing to do.
"Hey!" She suddenly seemed to remember something and exclaimed, "Didn't Qingyun girl give you an idea before? Why didn't you do as she said?"
"Her idea was good. She said she was looking for educated people in the village to train other teachers, but she got stuck on the first step and couldn't find anyone."
"I originally wanted to ask teachers sent from above to teach, but the teachers from above have not been confirmed yet, and I can't even find anyone."
Although their Luoshui Village is not a particularly remote place, how many serious high school graduates are willing to be assigned here to be rural primary school teachers?
Qin Youfu estimated that the reason why the list has not been finalized is that he could not find anyone willing to come.
Aunt Guifen thought for a while and said, "Isn't that Mr. Li at the east end of our village good? He went to a private school before, and his handwriting is so beautiful. He used to be responsible for all the slogans in the village. Do you want to write? Why don’t you ask him for help?”
"Mr. Li?" Qin Youfu said helplessly, "I wrote slogans many years ago. Mr. Li is almost 80 this year. He has lost all his teeth and is no longer able to speak well. What do you want to do? "
"Really? Mr. Li is already eighty?" Aunt Guifen was a little confused, "How come these days go by so fast?"
"Then who else can I turn to?" Aunt Guifen murmured.
"Hey, no, don't we have two ready-made high school students in our village? Where can we find them?" Aunt Guifen patted her head and suddenly realized.
"What's ready-made..." Qin Youfu suddenly paused mid-sentence and stood up suddenly, "That's right! Aren't Qingyun and that girl from the Xia family just two ready-made high school students?"
Those two children were too young, and he didn't think about it at all.
"But...are those two children still in school?"
"Isn't it going to be winter vacation soon? Why not?" Aunt Guifen was speechless. She usually has such a flexible mind. Why can't she make a turn today?
"Is it too late?" Qin Youfu hesitated, "Winter vacation is only one month away from the start of next semester."
Within a month, he was afraid that others would start chasing ducks before they learned the lesson. Isn't this a trick for children?
"Then isn't this the only way now?" Aunt Guifen said, "What else can you come up with or who else can you come up with?"
That's true. Qin Youfu hesitated and said, "I can't make the decision on this matter. I have to discuss it with the team leader and the secretary."
After saying that, he couldn't wait for a moment and walked hurriedly in the direction of the brigade.
In the brigade office, the team secretary Chen Dayu was already there. Seeing Qin Youfu coming, he smiled and said, "Why are you here so early today?"
"I have something to discuss with you." Qin Youfu said.
"you say."
"Isn't there a shortage of teachers in our village's school? I was wondering if I could first find someone with a high level of knowledge and culture in our village to lead other people with basic knowledge and train a group of teachers. I think..."
After Qin Youfu finished speaking his thoughts in a few words, Chen Dayu's expression was a little strange.
"You mean to find two girls from the Su family and the Xia family to be primary school teachers?" he asked uncertainly.
"Yes, that's what I'm thinking now. I just want to hear your opinion."
"My opinion?" Chen Dayu glanced at him, "Youfu, why didn't you tell me this idea before?" Qin Youfu's method is good. He teaches people how to fish and how to fish, killing two birds with one stone.
Qin Youfu said: "Didn't I think about it before? Now that someone has been chosen, I will naturally tell you. Speaking of which, the girl from the Su family came up with this idea for me."
Chen Dayu's expression immediately became even stranger, "So why are you thinking about finding the girls from the Su family and the Xia family, but not their mothers?"
"What?" Qin Youfu was stunned, "Those two mothers?"
"Don't you know that Su Yatou's mother Qin Ying and Xia Yatou's mother Xu Hanhe were the first batch of educated young people in the country to go to the countryside? They both graduated from high school and are familiar with all aspects of our village. Why do you Have you ever thought about letting them teach others?"
Secretary Chen Dayu has been working in rural areas for more than ten years. He knows the situation in Luoshui Village better than Qin Youfu. What major events happened in each household in the village in which year, which family has a child, which family builds a house, and so on. He remembers all weddings and funerals clearly.
Qin Youfu stood there blankly. He didn't know that the two of them were young intellectuals who stayed here to get married and have children. However, it had been so long ago that the two of them were no different from the villagers. Not only him, but many people may have forgotten this time. It's over.
In fact, it is precisely because of Qin Ying and Xu Hanhe's status and their understanding of the importance of knowledge that Su Qingyun and Xia Qiu became the only two girls in Luoshui Village who went to high school.
"Yes! They are the two best candidates." Qin Youfu came back to his senses and said excitedly. These two people are knowledgeable and cultured. They are different from other educated young people. Everyone in the village also sees their behavior. Everyone here is very popular.
They are the most suitable to be this teacher’s teachers!
The two of them brought other junior high school graduates and primary school graduates in the village to study together, and with the two little girls helping out during the winter vacation, he didn't believe that they wouldn't be able to train a group of teachers.
In this way, the school teacher's matter is solved!
