The village chief's name is Xi Shunyun. He is in his fifties and has been the village chief for more than ten years. He is loyal, but lacks motivation.
He was the only one in charge of the village office. Seeing Teacher Wang arriving with a group of people, he hurriedly said politely: "What can I do?"
Teacher Wang introduced: "This is Teacher Zhou, the principal of the Central School. This is a new teacher who has just been assigned to Haizi. There is no accommodation in the school. I would like to ask the village chief for your support and arrange a room to live in."
"Hello!" Zhou Hu stretched out his hand, shook Xi Shunyun's hand, and introduced, "My name is Zhou Hu, and this is the new female teacher Wanqing. I would like to ask the village chief to give me more support and free up a room."
"There is no problem with this. The key is that it is not convenient for a girl to live there." Xi Shunyun looked a little embarrassed, but he was actually afraid of taking responsibility.
"There's no problem with this. Wanqing is very down-to-earth and won't run around. Besides, this is a first-level government, and no one dares to come in and cause trouble. Besides, no one dares to challenge the old village chief's prestige in the village." Zhou Hu naturally understood what he meant, and gave him a high hat first, "In other words, if there really are people who don't care about life and death, wouldn't there be a police station?"
"Director Li Yin is not a vegetarian. Since he became the director, the security of the entire Xiayu Township, not to mention Haizi Village, has been obvious to all. Moreover, Director Li is very supportive of education."
Xi Shunyun nodded, of course he knew this.
The matter was decided, Xi Shunyun picked up a bunch of keys on the table and opened a house.
It looked like no one had lived there for a long time, and there was a thick layer of dust inside.
Zhou Hu wanted to help clean it up in person, but Wanqing quickly said no, she would put this little thing away in a moment.
Teacher Wang also said that he would help clean up, so he would not bother Teacher Zhou.
Zhou Hu glanced at the time, nodded, and said: "Then I'll ask Teacher Wang to help collect it. It's getting late now, and we have to go to Huangli Village. Wanqing will trouble the village chief and Wang The teacher should be very careful. After all, it is not easy for a girl to leave her hometown and come here. For the education of Haizi Village and the future of the children, we should not let her be wronged and chill the hearts of teachers from other places."
The two nodded in agreement. For Zhou Hu, who became the principal in his twenties, everyone was discerning and knew that his future was limitless and he had to give him enough face. He might still have something to ask for in the future.
Especially for Teacher Wang, Zhou Hu can decide with just one sentence whether he should be the principal of Haizi or not. Putting all this aside, just for the sake of Haizi's baby, he also hopes to retain Wanqing so that more public teachers can come.
Personally speaking, this child is the first female teacher assigned to Haizi. She is a nice person, and if she has a good relationship with her, she might be able to tutor her son and get into a better school in the future.
However, what he never dreamed of was that his son would almost destroy Wanqing and almost destroy the entire family.
Wang Jixing was a consistent person. After sending Zhou Hu away, he really helped Wanqing clean up the house. He also borrowed a bucket from the village chief, brought a load of water, and helped clean the house inside and out.
He also brought a bed from another room and helped Wanqing get it settled.
After doing all this, as if to avoid suspicion, he asked Wanqing to spread the quilt by herself while he and the village chief chatted outside.
Everything was ready, it was almost dark, so Wanqing was asked to go to his house for dinner.
Wanqing said: "Thank you, principal. I won't eat anymore. I have to go to the base to see my mother. I haven't seen her for a long time."
"Hey, don't be so polite. We all work together because of fate. There will be many opportunities for cooperation in the future. Besides, you are new here, you are not familiar with the place, and you don't have any utensils or furniture. You can just have a couple of meals at my house first. , I want to cook by myself in the future." Teacher Wang didn't know that Wanqing came here. One of the reasons was that her mother farmed in Haizi, so she thought she was embarrassed and liked her even more.
"Really no, thank you. My mother is in Haizi, helping Boss Zheng grow vegetables. I haven't seen her for a long time, so I went to her place to eat." Wanqing said, pulling the door over.
The village chief hurriedly gave him the key and asked strangely: "Teacher Wanqing, you mean your mother grows vegetables here?"
"Yes, she has been here for a while, and I really miss her." Wanqing took the key.
"Oh, that's it." Teacher Wang finally realized that there was only one foreign woman growing vegetables here, and she was the woman with Old Tang. However, Wanqing's surname is not Tang, so she cannot be connected with Tang Zhengwen. "Okay then, I'll send you to find her."
As he said that, he glanced at the sky. It was almost dark. A girl was worried about walking alone.
Wanqing nodded and said, "Thank you, Teacher Wang." She really didn't dare to walk alone, especially on this kind of mountain road, where she might not meet anyone on the road. What if she met a person like Wang Zimin who kept pestering her again? Don’t know how to cope alone?
When the village chief heard that she was Old Tang's daughter, his attitude suddenly changed and he was busy going out to see her off.
He only knew that this planting base was run by a person named Zheng Bajin, and this Old Tang was Zheng Bajin's right-hand man. If he wanted to arrange for someone to go in, do some easy work, and get a high salary, he would have to go to Old Tang. Don nodded.
Old Tang was on the base, watching Wanqing find this place in person accompanied by the village chief and Principal Wang. He couldn't help but be overjoyed and hurriedly called the woman who was pulling weeds in the field: "Xiao Du, look who's here. ?”
Xiao Du is Wan Qing's nickname. As for her real name, even Wan Qing doesn't know.
She became an orphan when she was two or three years old and lived in a foreign land. She was adopted as a child bride by Wanqing's grandparents.
When she grew up, she gave it to Wanqing's father.
I thought I could live a good life, but unexpectedly, my parents-in-law passed away one after another.
In order to take care of the funeral affairs of the two elders, I owed a lot of debt.
By the time the two of them had earned about the same amount and paid off their debts, Wanqing was already in her teens and was spending money studying. However, Wanqing's father couldn't afford to fall ill and had to spend money on medical treatment.
It can be said that Wanqing's mother is the embodiment of misery and does not live a good life.
Fortunately, now Wanqing has finally gotten over it and has a job.
However, Xiao Du did not expect that Wanqing would take the initiative to come to Haizi Village in order to take care of each other, which made her feel very sad and felt that she owed her children too much.
In order to make money, he actually forgot that she had already divided the labor and did not join her labor union. Even when she arrived, he did not take the time to pick her up, nor did he prepare a new set of clothes for her.
She looked at Wanqing and didn't know what to say.
Wanqing threw herself in her arms, already sobbing, and hugged her mother tightly regardless of the dirt on her body. After a long time, she said: "Mom, from now on, you don't have to work anymore. I will earn money to pay you back." Account, I will support you and let you live a good life."
"Silly boy, mother will be happy as long as she sees you happy. I am still young and can still make money." Xiao Du stretched out his hand and wanted to pat his daughter's back, but when he saw that his hands were covered with mud, he had to stop. In mid-air, like a conductor, there was a sudden pause.
This scene moved everyone, even Principal Wang almost shed tears. He didn't know what happened to this family in the past, but from the way the two cried with joy, he guessed the hardships in the past.
