Early the next morning, Principal Yang held a teachers' meeting. There were only 8 teachers in this school. As soon as he called, they all came.
"We are gathering everyone today to do two things. Let me talk about the first thing first!" Principal Yang paused and said, "The school has always emphasized the issue of teacher ethics. Today I reiterate that we are all part of the school and have obligations. Maintain the school's image and do not do anything that damages the school's image."
Everyone looked at each other, wondering why Principal Yang was so serious today. The usually gentle Principal seemed to be a different person today.
"We are teachers, and teachers must be role models for others. As the saying goes, moral integrity is a teacher, and integrity is a model. Although we are just a small village-level school, our words and deeds all affect the students and their actions. What the villagers think of us!" Principal Yang continued.
Yang Xiaowei's face was burning. What Principal Yang said to her yesterday was still vivid in her mind. These words were obviously meant to enlighten her, but Principal Yang raised it in such a big way at the meeting. What was his purpose?
"I hope every teacher will keep this in mind. The second thing is that in the selection of outstanding teachers last school year, our school was allocated a quota. Yesterday, we already said that if Yang Xiaowei was to be promoted, then this quota would be given to her. Everyone has no objections. ?" Principal Yang looked at everyone and said.
"No objection!" Everyone nodded.
"I have no objection, but the central school means that this outstanding teacher should not only be judged by his grades, but also by combining his performance in all aspects. Therefore, we are gathering everyone today to hear your opinions again!" said Principal Yang. .
"School Yang, Yang Xiaowei taught sixth grade last year, and her grades were among the best. Her grades were excellent. She also performed very well in all aspects of school. There is no problem in judging her!" said an old teacher.
"Yes, let's just judge her. She is also facing promotion and meets the conditions!" Another old teacher also said.
Because everyone is the generation of Yang Xiaowei's parents, they all treat her as their own child. Everyone wants her to be good. Anyone may have an opinion when it comes to judging her. Except for Yang Xiaowei, everyone will agree unanimously.
"Everyone should not be too subjective. There has been too much gossip in the village recently, and it has already reached Principal Wang's ears. Everyone should think again!" Principal Yang tapped the table with his pen.
Wu Liben is the treasurer of the school. He likes to flatter Principal Yang on weekdays and is very good at observing others. He understands that Principal Yang does not want Yang Xiaowei to comment on this outstanding teacher, but he does not want to be such a bad person. Although he does not know why Principal Yang Doing this, but he knew he, his chance to perform came.
"Mr. Yang, I think Teacher Zhang is superior in terms of qualifications, grades, and character." Wu Liben looked at Zhang Qinli sitting next to him.
There are only two female teachers in the school, Zhang Qinli and Yang Xiaowei. Due to its remoteness and backwardness, this place favors boys over girls, so there are very few female teachers. Zhang Qinli is in her 40s, outstanding in teaching, and is a key teacher at the county level. However, because her husband is unemployed, she has given up the opportunity to be transferred to the county seat many times. According to her, the family will go to the county seat to drink the northwest wind? In the village, my husband can still farm, the expenses are not that high, and his life is comfortable.
Zhang Qinli originally had a competitive character, but everyone unanimously recommended Yang Xiaowei, so she had no objection. Unexpectedly, someone mentioned her now, and her heart became excited again. Although she had little use for this excellent teacher, she always She felt that her efforts would be rewarded, and this excellent teacher should have been hers.
However, she can't show it too obviously. After all, Principal Yang has always been very kind to Yang Xiaowei. Principal Yang has always advocated unity among teachers. She doesn't want people to think that she bullies the newcomers.
"College Yang, I think Xiaowei is more suitable. She also needs this certificate!" Zhang Qinli said insincerely.
"Teacher Zhang, you are too humble. In life, we can be humble, but when it comes to awarding, no one can give in to anyone else. The one who deserves it is the one who deserves it!" said Principal Yang.
"How about voting to decide? It would be fairer!" Wu Liben suggested.
At this time, everyone already knew what Principal Yang meant. Principal Yang was very prestigious in the local area. There were rumors that he might be the next principal of the Central School. No one would offend him because of Yang Xiaowei.
"Mr. Yang, I don't think there is a need to vote. I also think Teacher Zhang is suitable!" Yang Xiaowei stood up and said.
"Let's vote, for the sake of fairness! Everyone should think carefully, and you don't have to vote for both of them. If you think you are good, you can also vote for yourself!" Principal Yang said with a smile.
There were only 8 people, so the voting process was naturally not that complicated. Everyone wrote on the paper who they wanted to vote for, and then threw it into a box in front of Principal Yang.
Yang Xiaowei originally wanted to write about herself, but she felt embarrassed, so she had to write "Zhang Qinli" on the paper. She knew that she was no longer destined to be an outstanding teacher.
The results came out, and Zhang Qinli passed unanimously. Although this was a result that Yang Xiaowei could predict, her psychological defense still collapsed. She didn't know why, when everyone originally agreed to choose her, why Principal Yang changed his mind today.
Yang Xiaowei returned to the dormitory, lay down on the bed and cried loudly. In terms of grades, she and Zhang Qinli were on par. Zhang Qinli's family was local, her children were in elementary school, and she had many things to do. In order to take care of her, Principal Yang did not let her do many jobs in the school. On the contrary, it was Yang Xiaowei. Because she was young and had no family burden, she took care of many chores in school.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt aggrieved, the kind of aggrieved feeling that her efforts were not rewarded. Moreover, she was about to be promoted. If she did not win the award this year, her assessment points would fall behind, and she might end up competing with her this year. Just missed promotion.
In the teaching industry, professional title and length of service are linked to salary. Her promotion period has come. If Yang Xiaowei can be promoted this time, her salary will increase by more than 500 yuan per month. 500 yuan is enough for Yang Xiaowei to live in this small mountain village. .
Duan Yu wanted to come to Yang Xiaowei, but he remembered what Principal Yang said yesterday and didn't want Yang Xiaowei to be criticized, so he held back. He called Yang Xiaowei, and Yang Xiaowei cried even more sadly.
"Why? Why did they choose you!" Duan Yu said angrily.
"I don't know why Principal Yang went back on his promise yesterday when he clearly stated that he would give me a review!" Yang Xiaowei cried.
"Don't cry, I'll ask him right now!" Duan Yu said.
"Don't go, the selection of Teacher Zhang is decided by everyone's vote!" Yang Xiaowei said hurriedly.
Duan Yu was on the other end of the phone, upset by Yang Xiaowei's crying, and said, "Xiaowei, stop crying, isn't he just an excellent teacher? We don't care about him!"
"Why aren't you surprised? With it, I can hope to advance!" Yang Xiaowei said loudly.
"It's okay. I can't be promoted this year. I'll be promoted next year!" Duan Yu consoled him.
"Duan Yu, what do you mean by Principal Yang? Do you have a problem with me?" Yang Xiaowei asked.
"Hasn't he always been very kind to you? He treats you like his own daughter. I don't understand!" Duan Yu also found Principal Yang strange.
"My biological daughter, but I am not his biological daughter after all!" Yang Xiaowei murmured.
"I understand, Xiaowei, I am the one who has caused you trouble in this matter. Principal Yang must have known about Caifeng and me." Duan Yu suddenly woke up.
"You mean that Principal Yang did this because of Caifeng?" Yang Xiaowei couldn't believe it. Principal Yang had always been the most fair and just in his heart.
"Don't worry about it, I'll take care of it!" Duan Yu said.
"How do you solve it? Duan Yu, forget it, it's true that we were the ones who felt sorry for Caifeng first, so just treat it like I'm paying her back!" Yang Xiaowei cried.
"No, it's one code, one code. How can love and work be confused? He's cheating for personal gain!" Duan Yu said angrily and hung up the phone.
Yang Xiaowei lay there for a while, fearing that Duan Yu would come to the school, so she got busy and looked at the door. After a long time, she didn't see Duan Yu, so Yang Xiaowei breathed a sigh of relief. If Duan Yu really came to school to make trouble, what else could she do? As a person, after all, everyone voted for Zhang Qinli, and she herself voted for Zhang Qinli.
Duan Yu originally wanted to find Principal Yang, but after thinking about it, he felt that the person who had to untie the bell had to tie the bell. The root of the matter was Caifeng. At this point, Caifeng should be in the clinic, so he walked towards the clinic. .
Caifeng was surprised when she saw Duan Yu. She had not seen Duan Yu since that day, and she did not expect that Duan Yu would take the initiative to come to her.
"Caifeng, can we go out and chat?" Duan Yu looked at the clinic and saw that there was another doctor there and said.
"Okay, Sister Liu, I'm going out for a moment!" Caifeng said to the doctor inside.
"Go ahead, I'll just watch. There's no one around now!" Sister Liu said with a smile.
Xu Caifeng followed Duan Yu to a deserted place. Duan Yu looked at Xu Caifeng and said sadly: "Caifeng, I know you hate me, but what happened between us has nothing to do with Xiaowei. Can you not blame Xiaowei?" On Wei."
Caifeng was confused by Duan Yu. She didn't expect that Duan Yu was looking for her because of Xiaowei. Her heart felt like being pricked by needles, and she was so painful that she couldn't breathe.
"Duan Yu, I said I won't bring up the past if I don't bring it up. How about you and Yang Xiaowei? That's your business and has nothing to do with me!" Caifeng took a breath and said.
"Caifeng, do you know? Because of you, your uncle canceled Xiaowei's outstanding teachers. Do you know how important that is to Xiaowei?" Duan Yu yelled.
Xu Caifeng didn't know about this, but why could Duan Yu come to question her and yell at her.
"Yang Xiaowei can't be rated as an excellent teacher, which means she has insufficient ability. What are you yelling at me for? It's not you or me who can get involved in school affairs. You two are college students. Only you can play with people, and no one can play with them." I'll pass you!" Xu Caifeng was also angered.
Duan Yu looked at Xu Caifeng with anger on his face. She had not accused any of them since the incident happened. He suddenly felt that he was too cruel to this girl who gave him the first time.
"No, Caifeng, we didn't play tricks on you. Let's not mention the past. We all need to look forward!" Duan Yu lowered his voice and said.
"I have to look forward, so please don't appear in my life again!" Caifeng was originally very tough, but when she said this, tears couldn't stop falling.
Of these two people, one is the person she has liked for two years, and the other is the person she wants to be her best friend.
"Caifeng, can you help Xiaowei and tell your uncle that this excellent teacher is very important to her." Duan Yu requested.
"Duan Yu, I told you, I have no control over school affairs!" Caifeng said and left without looking back.
Duan Yu froze on the spot. He knew that he had hurt two women because of himself. He punched the tree next to him, and then punched them again and again until his hands were stained with blood.
Xu Caifeng wiped her tears as she walked. She knew that what Duan Yu said was true. Yang Xiaowei's position as an outstanding teacher must have been canceled by her uncle because of her incident.
Back in the clinic, Sister Liu saw that Caifeng was in poor condition and asked her what was wrong. Caifeng shook her head and said, "It's okay, Sister Liu, I feel a little uncomfortable. Go home and lie down for a while. Just think of me as asking for leave this afternoon!"
"Go back and rest if you feel uncomfortable. I'm watching here. There's no one here anyway!" Sister Liu said quickly. Liu Qiaozhen's job was thanks to Xu Guoqing, so she was naturally very enthusiastic about Xu Caifeng.
Xu Caifeng looked at Liu Qiaozhen and planned to say thank you, but felt it was redundant. This Liu Qiaozhen often ran to their house and got along with her mother so well. Sometimes she was surprised that her mother and Liu Qiaozhen were at least 19 years apart. , there are so many common topics.
She is embarrassed. Let's call her Aunt Liu. She is only 7 years older than her. Let's call her Sister Liu. She is also her mother's best friend.
When Caifeng returned home, she felt even more tired. Duan Yu was really her nemesis. Every word he said could affect Xu Caifeng's emotions.
Yang Damei came in to see her and asked her if she was sick. Xu Caifeng told her that she felt a little tired and wanted to sleep for a while.
"Mom, tell your uncle not to cancel Xiaowei's outstanding teachers. I don't blame them anymore. Please tell your uncle not to anger her!" Xu Caifeng said weakly.
"What did you say? Your uncle canceled Yang Xiaowei's outstanding teacher position?" Yang Damei said happily.
"Well, that's what Duan Yu said just now!" Xu Caifeng said angrily.
"Duan Yu? He has the nerve to come to you. Why don't you cancel it? That kind of person is worthy of being rated as an outstanding teacher?" Yang Damei breathed a sigh of relief. She was almost exhausted these days.
Her husband is the village director, in charge of Duan Yu, and her brother is the principal, in charge of Yang Xiaowei, but Xu Caifeng is allowed to be bullied like this. She has been feeling aggrieved. She didn't expect such a tone from her brother who usually looks dull and serious. .
"Mom, we can't do this, others will say we are bullying others!" Xu Caifeng wanted to say something more, but Yang Damei stopped her.
"You should have a good sleep and don't think about anything. Your uncle has his own considerations." Yang Damei hummed a tune and went out. Xu Caifeng was too lazy to think about it anymore and fell asleep drowsily.
Xu Caifeng slept until night. When she got up, it was already dark, but she felt no appetite at all. Yang Damei made a large table of delicious food. Xu Caifeng simply ate a bowl of rice soaked in boiling water and went to sleep.
