Chapter 38 I didn’t expect it to be like this. …

When all the members arrived, they saw several cadres from the brigade sitting at the back of the classroom. They looked serious and intimidating.

In fact, it was somewhat similar to the last interview. The cadres in the brigade naturally wanted to see what the educated youth were like in class.

If students are not willing to listen in class, they naturally won't be able to learn anything.

As for how to get students and members of literacy classes to study hard, it depends on the abilities of the educated youth themselves.

Zhou Xian looked through her notebook and found that she had taken notes as well.

Primary schools now have a five-year system, and fifth-grade students are basically taught individually because they have to take the junior high school entrance exam.

Children in grades one and two, and third and fourth are all in mixed classes. Usually, teachers finish teaching one grade and then go on to teach the textbook for another grade. This situation is still very common today.

Zhou Xian wanted to let the children study separately, but the Taohua Brigade does not have the strength to do so at the moment and there are not enough classrooms, so they can only study together.

This time the primary school is recruiting a total of six teachers. For the educated youth, this is a much greater opportunity than being selected as a broadcaster.

The educated youth took turns attending classes, and Zhou Xian arranged the schedule.

The educated youth had no textbooks, so Zhou Xian, who was also the principal of the primary school and the head of the literacy class, naturally had to find a way.

Literacy classes don’t have to follow the same routine as children’s classes, but they still need to focus on the key points.

This is when the system naturally comes in handy. With it, the content becomes much simpler. Zhou Xian only needs to organize it and then hand it over to the educated youth in charge of teaching.

There were no primary school textbooks available yet, and classes had already started. Zhou Jiefang went to the commune three times a day and finally persuaded Secretary He to find a few for him.

It is impossible to give each person a copy, so they can only give them to teachers first and let the teachers use the books to teach the children.

Class time is limited, and Zhou Xian has already arranged the content of the lectures. She has been busy for several days in order to schedule this class.

Now it depends on the teaching effectiveness of the educated youth.

The names of the educated youth were also arranged in advance, and the class schedules were posted on the notice board and broadcast through loudspeakers. Those who were interested would naturally go back to check them.

Although I had attended literacy classes before, this was the first time I had taken a class like this. The members sitting in the classroom looked around curiously.

Zhou Xian did not remind them of their curious attitude, but called the educated youth who was numbered first into the room and asked him to prepare for class.

The chalk is ready, now it depends on how those educated youth perform.

Wang Xuemei was also waiting outside. She still ranked second in the competition. Fortunately, there were many people to be recruited this time. As long as her teaching ability was good enough, she still had a chance to be selected as a primary school teacher.

Although the brigade did not say it explicitly, they knew in their hearts that if the educated youth were not good at teaching, they would probably not be able to be elementary school teachers.

Ge Guifen was there too. She looked around. She had helped Wang Xuemei to canvass votes before. Since no one else had educated youth daughters-in-law in their families, she would just find some people with whom she had good relationships to vote for her own daughters-in-law. However, she didn't expect that she wouldn't have to vote this time.

All those dishes she gave away were wasted. She couldn't keep up with her daughter's ideas. She would have to ask next time, otherwise she would always feel painful by giving away things for free.

However, Ge Guifen is still looking forward to the performance of her third daughter-in-law.

After several days of literacy classes, as the educated youths finished their lectures, the members who were originally a little drowsy suddenly became energetic. They heard that after the educated youths finished their lectures, they would know who would be the elementary school teacher.

So now I feel more energetic.

Zhou Xian listened for a few days and felt a little disappointed.

The educated youths’ presentation was actually quite good. Even if there were some shortcomings, they could be improved upon later. However, the members’ enthusiasm was short-lived and they all became listless once they got to the point.

“It still doesn’t work.”

"What's wrong?"

The captain heard his daughter mumbling something, not knowing what she was saying, so he came over and asked.

Mainly, he was also very concerned about what the outcome would be this time.

In his opinion, some of the educated youth spoke quite well.

Some are not good. They are told in a dry way and you can only read the contents, which makes people lose interest at all.

Especially after hearing the last part, some members were almost falling asleep.

The team leader was wondering, if literacy classes were like this, would it be the same when teaching children?

You're already asleep, what can you learn? You'll still be blind when you wake up.

In the end, Zhou Xian still announced the list of primary school teachers.

Wang Xuemei's name was also among them. When she knew she was selected, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

When everyone went back, Zhou Xian kept the educated youths back and briefly talked about the problems they had in class.

We should praise what is done well and correct what is done poorly.

The main reason is that the lecture content is not attractive enough, and there is no way to make members concentrate on listening to the lecture content.

"That sounds good, but teaching is not that easy, especially for those of us who are teaching later, we have no advantage at all." Fang Ru couldn't help but say.

When she was speaking, the members were about to fall asleep, and she was almost discouraged. However, it was also good that she could become an elementary school teacher. Anyway, she would not have to go to the fields to earn work points soon.

In fact, she didn't have to go to the countryside. If she hadn't been pursuing Qiao Donglin, she would have been working in the city a long time ago. Her father had even arranged a job for her.

Thinking of Qiao Donglin, Fang Ru couldn't help but glance at Zhou Xian.

Qi Zhijie said that it was her revenge on Qiao Donglin because she couldn't get the love he wanted. Fang Ru thought Qi Zhijie was sick. Although she always saw Zhou Xian going to find Qiao Donglin before, she had never seen Qiao Donglin again since she became the director of the Women's Federation.

She even suspected that Qi Zhijie had gone crazy because of Qiao Donglin's sentencing to a labor camp.

Even though she hated Zhou Xian because of Qiao Donglin before, it doesn't mean she likes Zhou Xian now. She has tried her best. What can she do if those people don't listen to the class?

Zhou Xian didn't react at all when being looked at. If she was the most vicious female supporting character in the early stage, then Fang Ru was the most powerful character in the later stage.

Both of them loved Qiao Donglin to death and lost themselves.

Obviously, Zhou Xian has found himself now, but I don’t know if Fang Ru is still in love with Qiao Donglin according to the setting in the book.

Zhou Xian just smiled at her and said, "How about this, I'll come to give you a class tomorrow night and you can see the effect, how is it?"

Seeing Zhou Xian's confidence, Fang Ru also responded, "Okay, I want to see how you teach."

"Okay, it's getting late. If you have nothing else to do, go back and rest."

After the educated youth left, Zhou Xian also walked towards home.

"System, didn't you say before that the aura of the male and female protagonists has disappeared? Does Fang Ru, the female supporting role, still admire the male protagonist?"

"Host, you are different from the character in the book. Strictly speaking, you are not the original character. After I awakened your memory, you have deviated from the original setting, but the original supporting characters will still follow their previous settings in the book."

"Can't it be changed?"

"Theoretically, it's impossible."

"In theory?" Zhou Xian raised his eyebrows, "That means it can still be changed."

The system didn't speak, and Zhou Xian didn't say anything else either.

When I got home, I found that the house was quite lively.

Comrade Ge Guifen is in high spirits now because her third sister-in-law Wang Xuemei was elected as a primary school teacher, and is redistributing tasks at home.

From now on, all the children in the family will have to go to school, and she has already decided to take care of her granddaughter Zhou Yiyi herself.

"Mom, that..."

"What? You don't believe I can take care of children? Don't forget that I raised you all with my own hands."

Zhou Shoujun paused and said, "Mom, don't say it so disgustingly. What I mean is that you have worked hard."

Ge Guifen rolled her eyes at him, "You have a little conscience and care about your mother. Don't worry, I won't mistreat your daughter. I've raised my daughter to be so successful, so raising a granddaughter won't be bad either."

Everyone laughed too. After all, Wang Xuemei was chosen to be a primary school teacher, which was also a good thing for her family.

There was nothing else to do for the time being, so Ge ​​Guifen waved her hand, with a commanding presence, "Okay, let's all go to bed. If anyone dares to delay work tomorrow, I'll skin him alive."

The news that Zhou Xian would give literacy classes to the people in the team in the evening also spread the next day.

These words came from the mouths of educated youth, and the other members were skeptical.

But this person is here, so if he has any questions in his mind, he might as well ask them directly.

"Yes, I will go back to the literacy class in the evening to teach everyone how to read." Zhou Xian naturally responded.

Everyone was a little confused and wondered why Zhou Xian still wanted to teach them even though the teacher had already been selected.

When it was time for class, everyone went to the primary school out of curiosity.

Zhou Xian was already waiting in the classroom, and there was an enamel cup on the desk.

This was something Ge Guifen brought back specially for her daughter, and the entire Zhou family was there.

Although Ge Guifen didn't quite understand what her daughter had done, it didn't stop her from calling on the whole family to support her.

Whenever someone entered the classroom, they would look at Zhou Xian. She took a sip of water from the enamel cup with a calm face, and watched many people come into the classroom.

Those educated youth were bound to come, and they were now sitting at the back of the classroom.

As the class time came, Zhou Xian cleared his throat and said, "Good evening, classmates."

As soon as she opened her mouth, the classroom suddenly became quiet and everyone looked at her.

Zhou Xian was not in a hurry to teach. He took out the manuscript he had prepared when he ran for the director of the Women's Federation. At that time, voting was conducted directly, and the election manuscript was not used.

I made some special modifications last night and it wasn’t wasted.

Before class, let me paint a big picture for everyone.

Halfway through the speech, the classroom was in an uproar. "Is it true that we can become workers just by learning to read and write?"

"Director Zhou is really good at bragging. All the city people are out of work and have moved to the countryside. If there are jobs, will it be our turn?"

Ge Guifen also felt that her daughter was bragging, but she couldn't ruin her performance at this time.

"My daughter said it, so it must be true. She reads a lot."

"With such a good thing, why doesn't Director Zhou go to the city and work as a worker?"

Ge Guifen choked for a moment, but still supported her daughter.

"Okay, quiet." Zhou Xian made a little noise and the classroom became quiet instantly.

"I have heard everyone's doubts. What I want to tell you is that you don't have to go to the city to be a worker. If our brigade builds a factory and we work on it ourselves, we are also workers."

Everyone was silent, thought about it carefully, and found that there seemed to be some truth in it.

Some people were struggling to survive, “Does it really count?”

"As long as I make money, that's all."

"You asked me why I didn't go to the city to work as a worker. I also want to ask you, if I don't have knowledge, can I run for the director of the Women's Federation? If I don't have knowledge, can my articles be published in the newspapers?"

Everyone fell silent again, feeling that what Zhou Xian said sounded reasonable.

Those who write articles are not ordinary people, they are the god of literature who has descended to earth.

In the past, Wenquxing would have been the top scorer in the imperial examination.

Seeing that the atmosphere was almost ready, Zhou Xian said, "I have also watched the literacy classes these days. You didn't listen to the lessons seriously at all. Comrades, you really disappoint me. When the brigade set up a radio station before, you didn't agree to let the educated youth be the broadcasters, but you couldn't read and couldn't speak Mandarin. Now you are not happy to be primary school teachers, but you are still not able to teach."

Zhou Xian slammed the table in grief, "The opportunity is right in front of you now. If you still don't study hard, the next opportunity will not be yours. You can't read, how can I fight for these opportunities for them? Are you going to watch those opportunities slip away from you, and you can only sigh and wish you had studied hard in the literacy class earlier."

The classroom suddenly became quiet, and there were even sounds of sobbing.

Someone said, "Director Zhou is really worried. We must study hard."

"Yes, yes. I will learn to read well so that I can go there if I have the chance next time."

The educated youth in the back row were stunned and looked at each other in bewilderment.

I didn't expect it to be like this.

On the podium, Zhou Xian nodded with satisfaction, wrote two words on the blackboard, and said, "Very good, comrades, next, let's learn these two words."
