Lin Zhengran also got a job teaching Chinese to first and second graders.
This was quite unexpected to Lin Zhengran.
Although her salary is a little lower than others, she has more time to teach first and second grades, which makes it more convenient for her to arrange her own studies on other things.
In addition to her, there were two men and two women, including Su Meilin.
"I saw that Mr. Lin's interests and hobbies listed you can play the harmonica?"
"I can, but I'm not very good at it." Lin Zhengran told the truth.
Principal Feng made the decision, "The school still has a budget, so I'll give you an extra five dollars, and you'll give the children two more music lessons every week."
Others make 22 yuan a month, and her original salary was 18 yuan. Now with an additional 5 yuan, she has one yuan more than them. This is already a surprise among surprises.
"Okay, Principal." Lin Zhengran was happy to accept it.
A girl who was about the same age as them, about eighteen years old, asked with a smile, her eyes twinkling:
"Principal, the harmonica isn't very advanced. I know the violin, do you think it's okay?"
Feng Shui thinks that’s not possible. The instrument you play is advanced, but don’t you think that the school can afford it?
You can't ask me to buy dozens of violins. If I do that, the school won't be open and I won't have to learn any knowledge. I can just play the violin.
Besides, who would dare to pull that thing in today's world? Are you tired of living?
Feng Shui waved his hand and said no, then turned to Lin Zhengran and said:
"I've already had someone buy the harmonica. You're going to go out on the island and get it tomorrow, Saturday. You can find the address in my office later."
The principal's words clearly showed that he was already prepared and he was just informing her today.
Lin Zhengran nodded immediately.
Bai Yiyi lowered her eyes in disappointment.
She was pretty, young and energetic, and the new male teacher next to her comforted her.
"Two more classes a week means eight classes a month, and the salary is only five dollars more. You'd be better off doing something else with that time. Teacher Bai, don't be discouraged. Just give it to her if she wants it."
Bai Yiyi smiled and said nothing. Five dollars was actually not a small amount.
It seems that Ruan Sheng's family is quite rich. Five dollars may not be a big deal for Ruan Sheng, but it is a windfall for her.
The two chatted for a while, and since they were both trying to accommodate each other, they were able to get along well.
After seeing Lin Zhengran coming out of the office, Bai Yiyi said goodbye to Ruan Sheng and chased after him.
The primary school they attend is called Hope Primary School. It is not big, with just a row of bungalows and a basketball court.
There is a flagpole next to the stadium. The national flag is usually raised on Mondays. The sea breeze is very strong, and Lin Zhengran heard the flag rustling when he passed by it.
There are bicycles placed under a tree not far from the school. They don't need to be locked, and no one would be stupid enough to steal them.
The bicycle at home was given to Qin Shouguo by a comrade-in-arms he knew. When the comrade retired and returned to his hometown, he couldn't take the bicycle back, so he gave it to Qin Shouguo.
Qin Shouguo used to ride to and from get off work, but now that he has a jeep, he has no use for it. Lin Zhengran thought it was fun, so after learning how to drive for a few days, the car became hers.
"Teacher Lin?" Bai Yiyi asked with a smile after catching up, "We're going the same way, could you give me a ride?"
It would be fine to take her with me on normal days, but today it really can't be done.
Lin Zhengran patted the seat and said, "The tire is flat. I just found out today when I went out. I'm sorry I can't take you with me."
Bai Yiyi laughed dryly and said, "Then I'll walk with Teacher Lin for a while."
The tire on the back seat was flat, but it was still possible to ride. Lin Zhengran looked at her and said:
"OK."
Lin Zhengran pushed the cart and left, and Bai Yiyi followed on the road, "Teacher Lin can also play the harmonica, I really didn't expect it."
As far as she knew, Lin Zhengran was the one with the lowest cultural level among those who took the exam, but now he had the highest salary, which made her feel very uncomfortable.
Is she, a high school graduate, not as good as a woman who has never received a proper education?
"It's just a hobby," Lin Zhengran said, not wanting to elaborate. "I used to play it for fun, but I never thought I could make money from it today."
Lin Zhengran didn't care about the five dollars, but the meaning of this money was different because she earned it.
She never dared to imagine that one day she could make money.
Lin Zhengran looked forward and smiled.
"I don't know how to play the harmonica. Teacher Lin, can you teach me?" Bai Yiyi tilted her head and looked at her coquettishly.
Lin Zhengran didn't think much about it and replied, "Okay, buy the harmonica yourself. Come find me when you have time."
Bai Yiyi hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
"Then I'll trouble you, Sister Lin."
Not long after separating from Bai Yiyi, a faint voice came from behind.
"Do you know that Bai Yiyi's family is not well off? Why did her family let her go to high school?"
How would I know where to go?
Lin Zhengran turned around and saw that it was Su Meilin. She was walking slowly and looking at her with a half-smile.
We had the exam yesterday and the results were out today, so Su Meilian came too.
Su Meilin came to the island a few years earlier than Lin Zhengran, and she loved to play outside, so she knew the situation of every family on the island.
The island is a military base, so most of the people living here are soldiers.
But there is one type of person who is an exception, and that is people who come here to work, such as the principal.
There are also public canteens, and hospital doctors, nurses and their families.
Bai Yiyi's mother is a young nurse. She gave birth to three daughters and a son, and the whole family depends on her salary to support them.
He is also a man who favors boys over girls. He has no money left at the end of every month. How can he possibly support his daughter to go to high school?
In her words, her daughter was raised by someone else's family, so how could she let Bai Yiyi read so many books.
