Chapter 143 Liu Qingjun's Transformation

Zhao Meili was in her single room, writing letters to her parents.

Although she never received a reply to her letters, Zhao Meili still wrote to her family every once in a while.

Zhao Meili did not come out when she heard the bell of the postman's bicycle outside.

Someone knocked on her door.

Seeing that it was Liu Qingjun, Zhao Meili had no expression on her face: "Teacher Liu, is there anything?"

Liu Qingjun handed the letter in his hand to Zhao Meili: "There is a letter for you."

Zhao Meili walked over excitedly and grabbed the letter in Liu Qingjun's hand: "Thank you, Teacher Liu!"

Their hands touched, and Liu Qingjun retracted his hand in disgust and wiped it on his clothes.

Zhao Meili was excited when she saw the address on the letter was Jingshi. Seeing Liu Qingjun's behavior, she said, "Is there poison on my hands? If you don't want to send it to me, just leave it in the office. There's no need to force yourself like this."

Liu Qingjun opened her mouth, but left without saying anything.

"Something's wrong!" Zhao Meili muttered, went into the house and opened the letter.

In the letter, her mother mentioned that her father was sick and had no money to buy medicine.

Zhao Meili had a salary as a teacher, but it hadn't been paid yet, so she went to the village chief's house and took a month's salary in advance and sent it home.

Seeing that Zhao Meili was in a particularly good mood, Han Fei smiled and said, "I haven't seen you so happy for a long time. Did your family send you money again?"

Zhao Meili said, "I've been away for so long, and I've learned to be independent. How can I still rely on my family for everything?"

Han Fei sighed, "You have indeed grown a lot since when you first came. The environment can train a person."

Jin Shengli came over and said, "There are quotas to return to the city every year. We have been selected to be teachers. Maybe we can return to the city next year."

The Zhao family's current situation is very difficult. Even if Zhao Meili goes back, she may not be able to help her family. She may even be implicated. In the letter, her mother asked her to be a good teacher in Yaoshui Village.

Look at Shen Jiale again. She had a chance to go back to the city, but she didn't.

Others thought that Shen Jiale didn't want to go back because she got married and opened a cookie factory in Yaoshui Village.

Zhao Meili didn't believe that things would be so simple.

With Shen Qingshan's ability, Shen Jiale would have more room for development if she returned to Beijing, and he would also be able to arrange for Lu Mingfeng to go there.

But they didn't do so, there must be a reason.

So, she is also waiting.

When Shen Jiale returns to Beijing, she will find a way to go back.

Zhao Meili said, "I have my own house now, and I feel good in Yaoshui Village."

Jin Shengli asked, "Will you not fight for the opportunity to return to the city in the future?"

Zhao Meili smiled and said, "I'll leave the opportunity to you."

Han Fei and Jin Shengli were very happy to hear that. With one less person competing, they would have a higher chance of returning to the city.

Liu Qingjun heard the conversation between the three and asked, "Teacher Zhao, are you really not going to return to the city?"

Zhao Meili said unhappily, "Does it have anything to do with you?"

...

The village chief would often come to the school to check on the students and talk to Liu Qingjun about their studies.

During the chat, he was skeptical about the fact that Shen Jiale and Zhao Meili did not want to leave Yaoshui Village.

The village chief widened his eyes and said, "What is there to doubt? Our Yaoshui Village was poor before, but the villagers were kind and simple.

Teacher Zhao taught and educated people, and Shen Jiale led the villagers to prosperity. Capable people can shine anywhere. They certainly can't abandon the newly started Yaoshui Village."

"Maybe they just want to leave and do it on purpose to show others. If they have the chance, they will leave without hesitation."

The village chief was very satisfied with Liu Qingjun's work attitude, but he didn't expect this person to be so narrow-minded. He was a little angry, stood up and said, "Then you also run a factory and show it to me!"

Liu Qingjun realized that he had said the wrong thing and quickly apologized.

"You don't need to apologize to me. You are prejudiced against the female educated youth. You can't generalize just because you met a bad person."

Seeing the village chief coming back angrily, the village chief's wife who had just got off work asked, "What's wrong? Who offended you?"

"Teacher Liu sent by the commune said that what Jiale and Teacher Zhao are doing now is to show off to others and to go back to the city."

"He is not lying with his eyes open. If Jiale wants to go back, he can go back anytime and anywhere."

"He has a wife who went back to the city some time ago, leaving him and his daughter behind, so she is full of resistance to the female educated youth."

"He is sick, right? If he is good to his wife, will she not want him? Can such a person really teach the children in our village well? Don't teach the students to be petty and mean."

The village chief nodded: "On the way back, I was also thinking about this problem. I hope that the children of Yaoshui Village will have a promising future. Even if they are not talented, they should be open-minded."

...

Just when the village chief wanted to go to the commune to change a teacher, Liu Qingjun came to Zhao Meili and apologized to her sincerely.

"Teacher Zhao, I was wrong before. I was cold to you. I will change in the future."

Zhao Meili was confused. What is wrong with this man?

Zhao Meili, who just became a teacher, doesn't want to have conflicts with her colleagues.

It's okay, she doesn't care.

Liu Qingjun even went to the village chief to tell him about his apology to Zhao Meili and his forgiveness.

The village chief asked him, "Who did you do this for?"

Liu Qingjun said awkwardly, "It's not for anyone, I just want to get along well with Teacher Zhao in the future."

After Liu Qingjun left, the village chief said to himself, "Let's observe it again, I hope I'm wrong."

Since Liu Qingjun apologized to Zhao Meili, he would greet her when he saw her again, which made Zhao Meili very uncomfortable.

Liu Qingjun also took the initiative to chat with Lu Mingfeng when he came back on Sunday.

Lu Mingfeng was in a hurry to go back to see his wife and daughter, so he didn't have time to chat with him. He just responded and went home.

Unexpectedly, Liu Qingjun followed and said she wanted to see the twins.

Lu Mingfeng refused directly: "My wife is still in confinement after childbirth, so it's not convenient for her to meet outsiders."

It was really confusing. The two of them were not familiar with each other. Last week, he was asked to be on guard against his wife, but now he was acting so close.

Lu Mingfeng didn't want to have any contact with anyone with ulterior motives, so he got on his bike and left.

...

On Sundays, the teachers also had a day off and didn't have to work in the fields like before. Zhao Meili went to the educated youth's home to feed the chickens.

The chickens that had been raised before had already laid eggs. In addition to the eggs that were handed over to the village, the educated youth would share the money from the extra eggs.

Li Mei once asked her if she wanted to take a few chickens back to raise, but Zhao Meili said no, she would sell them at the end of the year, so there was no need to make such a fuss, and she would come to feed them on time.

Li Mei's words also reminded Zhao Meili that she could also build a chicken coop next to her dormitory.

Now, she no longer had to work so hard to earn work points like before, and had plenty of time to raise chickens.

Since she was not going back to the city for the time being, she thought of ways to earn more money to help her family.

Zhao Meili went to find Shen Jiale and asked him how to hatch chicks. She also gave him a set of baby clothes she made herself. She went back to Hua Guafu's house and borrowed 20 eggs.
