The next morning, Zhou Yang got up early!
It suddenly started raining in the middle of the night last night, which is not a good thing for the crops that are about to mature.
You must know that when crops mature, the straw will gradually wither. At this time, whether it is strong wind or heavy rain, the crops may lie on the ground. In the words of local farmers, they are "lying".
Once the crops "lying", it will be troublesome.
Not only is it more troublesome to harvest, but what’s even more troublesome is that the grains inside can easily germinate, become moldy, and be eaten by mice.
Although the rain last night was not very heavy, it might not affect the crops, so Zhou Yang decided to go to the fields early to take a look.
And this also reminded him that it was autumn and he had to pay more attention to the climate to avoid unnecessary losses.
After washing his face, Zhou Yang was about to go out, but saw his wife getting up too.
She looked at Zhou Yang sleepily and said, "I don't think I heard the work whistle. Why did you get up so early?"
Zhou Yang smiled and said, "It rained last night. I wanted to go to the fields to see if the crops were affected!"
"Oh, then you go have something to eat. There are some leftover pots and meat in the cupboard from last night. You can heat them up!" Li Youwei said.
"OK!"
After taking a simple bite, Zhou Yang went out.
When he came to the east end of the village, he saw Wang Ping there.
After seeing Zhou Yang, Wang Ping immediately said: "Zhou Zhiqing, are you here to see the crops too?"
"Well, I don't know if the rain last night had any impact on the autumn harvest!" Zhou Yang said.
"I turned around, and it's okay. It's just raining, and the autumn harvest will have to be postponed for a few days!"
Zhou Yang nodded and said: "Yes, otherwise if it is cut down in such a wet state, it will be too easy for it to sprout and become moldy!"
"Yeah, but normally speaking, the autumn harvest in previous years is after September 15th. This year it may be even later!" Wang Ping said.
"That's only a few days away, so the members must prepare early!"
"Well, our village has lost more than 60 strong laborers this year. We don't know what to do during the autumn harvest!" Wang Ping said with a sigh.
"There is nothing we can do about it. After all, the Baofeng Reservoir is more important!"
"That's right, let's go, there's no problem here!"
"OK!"
Afterwards, the two returned to the village together!
When the two returned to the brigade headquarters, the members had almost arrived, and Zhang Genwang was mobilizing the members of the fifth team.
Although it is still the same old words that have been said countless times, everyone seems not tired of hearing them and listens very seriously.
Wang Ping did not mobilize the members of the fourth team. After returning, he assigned tasks according to the original division of labor.
After receiving the tasks, the members all went to work in the fields.
Li Fengnian and several village cadres were also about to leave, but were stopped by Zhou Yang.
Then Zhou Yang suggested that they go to the elementary school together. After all, it was the first day of school and they had to see if Wang Pingan was suitable to be a teacher.
After all, some people are excellent academics themselves, but once they are asked to teach others, they will become noobs. I hope Wang Pingan is not such a person.
Everyone also felt that Zhou Yang was very thoughtful, so they rushed to the elementary school together.
........
At the primary school, Wang Pingan came early.
This was his first time as a teacher. Even though he was teaching a bunch of brats, he was still a little nervous.
After arriving at school, the children have not come yet.
So he picked up a broom and dustpan by himself and cleaned the school.
While I was busy, I suddenly heard footsteps outside. I thought it was children coming. When I looked up, I was surprised to find that all the village cadres were coming.
This startled him and he immediately walked out of the classroom.
Seeing that Wang Ping'an was a little nervous, Li Fengnian said immediately: "Wang Zhiqing, have you had breakfast?"
Wang Ping'an's face turned red and he immediately said, "I haven't eaten!"
Then he immediately explained: "Mainly because I was a little excited and a little nervous, so I rushed here early!"
"Hahaha, don't be nervous, they are just a bunch of kids!"
"Um!"
At this time Zhou Yang suddenly asked: "Ping An, how do you plan to carry out your work?"
Both of them are educated youths, so Zhou Yang speaks more casually.
Wang Ping'an said immediately: "I thought about this for a long time last night. I decided to wait for the children to come and touch their bottoms first to see how good they are!"
"Secondly, go to the central school as soon as possible to get the textbooks back."
Education in the Saibei area is very backward. Although there are schools in almost every village, they are all village-run schools.
It’s hard to say much about the quality of teachers, and the Education Bureau doesn’t have much control over these schools and teachers.
What really connects these village-run schools is the central school in each township commune. There is only one central school in a commune, which generally covers primary schools and junior high schools.
Generally speaking, students in village-run schools must go to the central school whether they want to receive textbooks or take final exams.
After graduating from primary school, they are directly promoted to central schools.
There are also some village-run schools that only have first, second and third graders, and the remaining fourth and fifth graders go to central schools.
All in all, as long as children in the countryside study, they will inevitably have to deal with the central school.
Zhou Yang nodded and said: "Well, your arrangement is good. For now, you should be busy on your own. I'll see if I can arrange a partner for you in a while!"
"OK!"
Just as he was talking, the sound of children running and playing came from outside.
Everyone looked up and saw Li Hu running in from outside with several younger brothers and sisters.
The little guy didn't expect that his grandfather, uncle, and others were here. He was stunned for a moment, and then said a little cautiously: "Grandpa, uncle!"
Li Fengnian was in a good mood when he saw that his grandchildren were the first children to come to the school. He immediately said: "Go in and listen to Teacher Wang!"
"I know, Grandpa!"
The arrival of Li Hu and others was just the beginning. After a while, the children in the village came one after another.
Zhou Yang counted carefully and found that there were more than 40 school-age children in the village.
The oldest of these children is 10 years old and the youngest is only 5 years old.
Although the state stipulates that the minimum age for schooling is six years old, the villagers do not care about this. If there are no elderly people at home to look after them, they will send their children to school early.
On the surface, it is said that the children should go to school, but in fact, the teachers are asked to help look after the children.
Seeing this situation, Zhou Yang felt that it was necessary to re-plan the primary school in the village. After all, it was related to the next generation of Babaoliang Village.
But he doesn't plan to talk to his father-in-law and others about this for the time being. On the one hand, everyone is very busy now and doesn't have the time.
On the other hand, the village's finances have been ruined by his manipulation. Even if he wants to do something about it, the finances will have to improve first.
But no matter what, he took this matter to heart!
The group stayed at the primary school until after nine o'clock. They felt that Wang Ping'an's class was acceptable, so they left!
But as soon as everyone returned to the brigade headquarters, they received bad news-Li Jianguo was injured!
PS: Chapter 3 is delivered!
