In the space, Wang Shuning squatted by the river, looking at the water in the river and fell into deep thought.

What was certain was that the river water had healing properties, but she had no idea exactly what those properties were.

I want to find a scientific research institution to do some testing, but I don't have the conditions right now.

For the fourteenth time, Liao Tingming increased the intensity of Qi Jianping's training and he was beaten to a pulp all day long.

Tian Zhongguo poked him while he was resting, "Captain Liao seems to be targeting you. When did you offend him?"

Qi Jianping wiped the sweat from his neck with his arm and said, "I didn't offend him. It's just that the company commander is jealous and doesn't like me."

Tian Zhongguo reacted in the blink of an eye, "The teacher Wang that Captain Liao likes is not the friend you went to see that day, right?"

The jealousy must be because of a woman. The only person he knew about was the female friend that Qi Jianping had mentioned several times. Last time, he went to her house and asked Qi Jianping to return to the army for training.

Qi Jianping nodded in acknowledgment, "Yeah."

Tian Zhongguo slapped his forehead hard, "What the hell are you doing? You're competing with the leader for a partner. It would be strange if Captain Liao didn't target you. You told me before that we're just ordinary friends. If we're just ordinary friends, then just stay away. Otherwise, you won't be able to handle this kind of training every day."

"Captain Liao was also training when I was training. He's a ready-made training teacher, so why not use him?" Qi Jianping denied.

Tian Zhongguo frowned and turned Qi Jianping's head towards him in confusion, "Are you more than just an ordinary friend to that female teacher?"

Qi Jianping struggled to turn his head and look to the right.

Tian Zhongguo saw that he didn't answer and sighed, "It's over. You and Captain Liao are totally incomparable. If the captain doesn't like you, you have even less hope."

Qi Jianping: "My face is fine."

Tian Zhongguo rolled his eyes: "Compared to Captain Liao, you only have this handsome face left."

What do you mean by ordinary friends? It's obvious that he has intentions towards her.

After Song Guiying and Wang Jianguo left Jinshan Island, Wang Shuning spent two whole months in a peaceful life until...

"Going to Dashan City for training?" Gao Ziyuan shouted in surprise in the school office.

The other teachers turned their heads to look at him. It wasn't a good thing, so was there any need to be so happy?

Seeing Gao Ziyuan was very excited, the principal asked him, "Teacher Gao, are you interested? Our school has a vacancy. Do you want to sign up?"

Gao Ziyuan nodded immediately, "I'm quite interested. I'll sign up."

Judging from the principal's expression, it seems that he intends to arrange for me to receive training.

Wang Shuning sat in his seat and keenly noticed that other teachers seemed to have little interest in the training. The two who were about to retire thought it was unnecessary, but Su Fangmei, who was just in her early forties, was not only uninterested, but her expression also looked a little repulsive.

The principal nodded with a smile on his face: "Okay, then the school will arrange for you to go there for a month of training. There is a cafeteria and dormitory there. You will leave next Monday. There is also one in the middle school next door. You can go together then."

Gao Ziyuan nodded and glanced at Wang Shuning proudly, thanking himself for being proactive. "Principal, who will teach my class?"

The principal thought for a moment and looked at Wang Shuning. "Teacher Wang, can you take over for a month? Your class will be promoted from fourth grade to fifth grade in the second half of the year. It's a good opportunity for you to adapt."

Wang Shuning was suddenly called over and was stunned. Increasing the workload was not a good thing. "Uh... that's fine. Is there any subsidy for substitute teaching?"

Su Fangmei glanced at her and said, of course there was, she had received a lot of such subsidies, but they were too little.

The principal almost choked. The office teachers were all present, but she was the first one to speak so frankly and openly, "Yes, two dollars a month."

"Hmm~ It seems a bit little." Wang Shuning smiled gently.

The principal covered his mouth and pretended to cough: "Ahem, Teacher Su was like this before you came."

Wang Shuning nodded reluctantly, "Okay, it's only a month anyway, so I can just hold on."

When the bell rang, Gao Ziyuan took his books to the classroom. Wang Shuning then asked the second-grade Chinese teacher, "Teacher Qin, why didn't you sign up when the principal said he was going to have training?"

Teacher Qin is fifty-four years old this year. He has been teaching on the island all his life. Now that he is old, his cup is full of wolfberries for health preservation.

She whispered, "We've been to that training before. It's held every two years. The content is pretty much the same each time. Many teachers teach together and we sleep on a big bunk bed. The food is not even as good as the lunch at our school. The most important thing is that the training teachers are arrogant and treat us like children. We are really annoyed."

Teacher Zhao from the next room came over and said to Wang Shuning, "Your teaching level is good. The principal is satisfied with you, and the students like you too. You don't need to go for training. The principal made the appointment so hastily without considering you, and he probably doesn't want you to go."

Wang Shuning blinked. The training location was at least in a middle school in Dashan City. Could it really be that bad?

In fact, the two teachers had not told Wang Shuning something else: there were several small supply and marketing cooperatives outside the school where the training was held.

Several older sales clerks who work there have a very bad impression of teachers. When they go to buy things there, they are often called "stinky old nine". This is especially true for male teachers, whom they look down upon.

Gao Ziyuan is so enthusiastic now, but who knows how much he will regret it when he gets there.

Only those who endure the most hardships can become the best.

Teacher Gao is young and energetic, so it wouldn't hurt for him to gain some experience.

Wang Shuning had just suffered a great disaster a few months earlier, so they were more protective of him.

In the next few days, Gao Ziyuan couldn't wait to hand over the work on hand to Wang Shuning, including the list of students in the class and their grades, as well as the progress of several courses he taught.

As he spoke, he was showing off to Wang Shuning in some ways.

Being able to go for training means that you may be reused in the future, and you will definitely learn teaching methods that others have not mastered, which will make your resume look better.

Gao Ziyuan was the only one who spoke.

Wang Shuning didn't care. He just stood there like a mute and looked at his classmates' grades. Their grades were very average.

Since Wang Shuning has to teach fifth and sixth grade students at the same time, the class schedule for third and fourth graders has to be adjusted, otherwise the class times of many classes will conflict.

On Monday, Gao Ziyuan happily left on a boat with a 55-year-old male teacher from the neighboring middle school.

The moment Wang Shuning stood on the podium for the fifth and sixth grade classes, she clearly felt that the students below were bigger. After a few classes, she had already memorized the names of several more active students.

Gao Ziyuan felt uncomfortable on the first day he arrived at the dormitory of Dashan City Training Middle School.

So many teachers were concentrated in one dormitory, with bunk beds, which was far inferior to the two-story buildings on the island.

The 55-year-old male teacher reached out and patted his shoulder. "This is much better than a few years ago. Now everyone has a bed. Before, it was a large bunk bed with bricks underneath and a bed board above. I was afraid that the bed would collapse when I turned over at night."

The corner of Gao Ziyuan's mouth twitched.

The male teacher reminded: "Try not to go to the supply and marketing cooperative outside the school to buy things. If you really want to buy something, go to the state-owned supermarket. It's not far away, and it only takes 40 minutes to walk."
