Chapter 78 Chapter 78 Teacher Guihua
On the day when the Hope Primary School was completed, the team leader, at the suggestion of several educated youths, took advantage of the slack season during the farming season and, leveraging Xu Fei's reputation as a literary and artistic young man, invited the deputy director of the commune, the director of the commune, several commune cadres, as well as the team leaders and some cadres of other production teams to Wangjiagou.
It is equivalent to holding a grand opening ceremony.
Its real purpose is not only to celebrate the establishment of the Hope Primary School, but also to declare and show off that their brick factory will have more orders and profits in the future.
As expected, the commune cadres were pleasantly surprised to see the bright and spacious new primary school classrooms, as every brick and tile was produced by Pingquan Commune itself.
I won’t say more. The team leaders and cadres of other villages are envious of Wangjiagou’s lucky day!
The commune cadres also brought some rewards and gifts.
A Red Star enamel cup, a pen and a notebook were given to the main hero Ye Yu. Han Jing, Xu Fei and Hua Feifei also received pens and notebooks as rewards. Ten boxes of chalk and a complete set of new textbooks for grades 1 to 6 were also prepared for the primary school students in Wangjiagou.
There are twelve pieces of chalk in a box. If you use ten boxes sparingly, they can last you nearly half a year.
Since most of the current student textbooks are second-hand, bought from scrap collection stations, they may be incomplete. Brand new textbooks can be used as standard reference textbooks. As long as you have a pen and paper, you will never lack second-hand manuscripts.
"Thank you for the commune's support for Wangjiagou Hope Primary School!" Han Jing and the others were happy and excited. Ye Yu was always the calmest one, but it didn't seem abrupt. Maybe the four of them had more eye contact and small gestures to interact with each other, and they had a tacit understanding and harmony.
The brick kiln is a must-see attraction today.
Their Wangjiagou brick kiln was named after the Hope Primary School, "Wangjiagou Hope Brick Factory". When Ye Yu heard this name, his face cracked.
It’s not that “hope” sounds charitable, but mainly because everything is labeled with hope, which makes it difficult for her not to think that she is building Hope Base 2.0.
"What base?"
Han Jing and the others asked.
Even though there are too many lice, they don't itch. Ye Yu didn't even hide it from them: "The human survival base for the end of the world."
Hua Feifei, Han Jing, and Xu Fei simply couldn't imagine what the end of the world was, nor did they understand the turbulent waves behind Ye Yu's nonchalant description. They just thought it was some horror story or a cold joke that they didn't understand. When mentioning this, they said that they Hope Primary School had poached many students from Hongqi Primary School, and at least Tian Yuzhen would transfer to another school with Tian Ermao and the others this semester.
Back to reality, there is nothing much to see in the two "mantou" earthen brick kilns. There is a flat plain next to the earthen brick kilns, which is divided into pre-processing and finished product display areas.
The finished product area is stacked with rows and rows of neatly arranged red and green bricks, which immediately attract everyone's attention.
It’s hard not to be moved!
Besides farming, the Ye people are more or less obsessed with infrastructure. This may be related to their obsession with housing. Isn't it just to build a new house or a home after working hard all their lives? This brick more or less reminds them of their own needs.
Can't help asking:
"Captain Wang, what are you doing with this brick?"
The team leader took the opportunity to announce a unit price that was one cent lower than the red bricks and green bricks in the county. If purchased within three months of the newly built earth brick kiln, there would be a special discount of five red bricks for every hundred red bricks and three green bricks for every hundred green bricks.
As for transportation, the price is the same as that of the Hexian Brick Factory, and you can add money for transportation and charge in sections. Regarding this, there is the first cooperation with the large tractor of the Red Flag Brigade. Ye Yuhan Jing promised to be a temporary mechanical technician of the Red Flag Brigade.
The team leader emphasized that because Wangjiagou is closer to the county seat, their freight is much cheaper than in the county seat.
You can even do it for free, or you can transport the bricks yourself and select them on site, which only takes two or three days of hard work. The bricks that the county brick factory cannot bring into the mountains are also carried by the villagers themselves, working hard. Being a porter is not an easy job, but this way of saving money is appreciated by many people.
After observing the quality of the sample bricks, the director of the commune Women's Federation placed the first order.
Still a pretty big order.
The director of the commune's Women's Federation is surnamed Zhu, and everyone calls her Director Zhu. She also serves as the president of the Qingquan Town Trade Union and works at the state-owned paper mill in the town. In fact, her job as a Women's Federation cadre is more like a part-time job, so she spends more time in the union on weekdays.
Director Zhu was a familiar face to Han Jing and Ye Yu. It was the warm-hearted woman who had been in the same car with them on their first day in the countryside. Today, she praised Ye Yu profusely: "Women are no worse than men. Comrade Ye, you're great."
It was based on the support and trust for Ye Yu that the decision was made to order the bricks for the construction of several factories in the town from Wangjiagou, and the more expensive blue bricks would be used because blue bricks are more fire-resistant and harder than red bricks, and are more suitable for the factory environment.
Director Zhu also invited Ye Yu to join the Women's Federation, but Ye Yu refused, saying that she was devoted to farming and was also busy with the guidance work at the brick kiln (?).
"You can hold the position concurrently. Women's Federation cadres are not only in cities and towns, but also in villages. Many women's federation cadres hold the position concurrently, like Aunt Baiyun in your village."
What Director Zhu likes most about Ye Yu is that she has a higher fighting ability than other women. You have to know that the Women's Federation deals with women and children, and domestic violence is the most common incident. Any incident that can be brought to the town's Women's Federation is definitely not a small incident.
Some ruffians are not afraid of cadres at all. Not to mention cadres, they even dare to beat up the police when they come to their door.
No matter how powerful or imposing the director of the Women's Federation is, she is a woman after all. Usually she would ask male union cadres to help her give her courage. If they had a strongman like Ye Yu, their women's work would surely be smoother.
Fighting?
Ye Yu was quite good at it, but she found it boring to fight with a weakling and a scumbag. She was afraid that she would get angry and kill them, so she threw her two apprentices - Hua Feifei and Wang Danniu - to the director of the Women's Federation.
Director Zhu and Wang Danniu stared at each other: "..."He is too young, let's just forget it?
Ye Yu:
"It can comfort children."
It is said that people become adults at the age of eighteen, but the boundaries regarding child labor in this era are actually very vague, otherwise there would not be boys and girls going to the countryside at the age of thirteen or fourteen.
Director Zhu felt that there was some truth to this. There was no need to work. During the winter break during the New Year this year, he could invite Wang Danniu to visit their town. She would be provided with food, lodging, and grain. The main purpose was to comfort and visit some orphans who had lost their parents.
"Thank you, Director Zhu! Thank you, Master!"
Wang Danniu's whole body brightened up after hearing this. She was thinking about how to help her mother reduce the burden of life, and was planning to join the youth group going to the fields this year to earn half the points of adults.
As for Hua Feifei, it seemed like she was just there by the way, and they had agreed that Dong Xian and his junior sister would take on the role together.
But like Ye Yu, she had no interest in becoming a regular Women's Federation cadre. It was not because she was devoted to farming, nor because she was not curious about the goings-on at home. It was precisely because she knew a lot of family gossip that she didn't want to do this job for a long time.
Only when you understand the ins and outs of your family and the ways of the world, will you realize how many scumbags there are in this world, how many pitiful women there are, and how many tragic families there are one after another, and how very few people can help.
Hua Feifei was afraid that she would cry herself blind. This job might even be worse than raising pigs in the fields!
Director Zhu was very satisfied with Ye Yu and Hua Feifei's negative attitude, because only responsible cadres would think so much. She regretted Ye Yu's refusal and welcomed Hua Feifei's part-time position.
Hua Feifei joined the guild during winter break, firstly to protect her junior sister, and secondly definitely not to fight, but for the guild. She had always been thinking about the bonfire party.
"Of course, no problem!" Director Zhu said that the trade union also has indicators for holding activities every year, and we will definitely ask them for more reference when the time comes. Good performances may be performed on big stages in counties and cities, but unfortunately they are rarely chosen in towns.
Hua Feifei was immediately filled with enthusiasm. Even though she would not be paid for the time being, she took on the job of secretary of the brick kiln union.
Ye·Factory Director·Yu patted her shoulder encouragingly.
Han Jing hugged Xu Fei and pretended to cry, saying that now only the two brothers were doing the worst, but he seemed to be an honorary tractor driver. Oh, that's okay.
Xu Fei:
“…”
It's another day to miss my plastic brother! He is also the gardener who will have many students all over the world in the future, don't you understand?
With Director Zhu's large order, the initial costs of Wangjiagou Brick Kiln except for labor can be almost offset.
Other production team cadres felt that since even the factory used bricks from Wangjiagou, the quality of these bricks must be good, and those with team or personal needs also placed some small orders one after another.
Captain Wang also provided enthusiastic service and asked all captains and village cadres to promote the company in the village. We accept both large and small orders and welcome visitors.
After this day, the kiln factory became busy again in order to earn more income.
The primary school has also started. Except for Tian Yuzhen and a few others, most of the students are from Wangjiagou. The age distribution is very wide, ranging from six to fifteen years old, but there is no need to divide them into many classes. Many teenagers are in the first grade.
Therefore, four teachers are completely sufficient. In this era, teachers work very hard and are also very competitive.
Except for Xu Fei and Hua Feifei who have already been confirmed as teachers for Hope Primary School, the other two have passed the exam. The competition in this exam is much more intense than Xu Fei and Hua Feifei had imagined. It can be said that Hua Feifei herself may not perform better than them.
Finally, one of the two winners was a young woman named Wang who had just graduated from junior high school in the town last year and was unable to pursue further studies due to family financial conditions.
Another one is Sister Guihua.
This was beyond many people's expectations. They almost forgot that Aunt Guihua was also one of the few "highly educated" people in the village.
Some people murmured that as a widow, Sister Guihua was not suitable to teach students and it was unlucky. Hua Feifei retorted on the spot that feudal superstitions were not allowed these days.
Some people also suspected that it was the educated youth who opened the door to Guihua Sao's back. Of course, with Ye Yu as the powerful weapon, they did not dare to directly question the educated youth.
Moreover, even Wang Xiaomei failed the exam! Wang Xiaomei is Ye Zhiqing’s cousin!
Are you really going through the back door instead of this one?
Wang Xiaomei:
“…”
Did people say that?
Aunt Guihua was not calm in the face of the villagers' doubts. Except for Wang Danniu and the others, no one knew how much effort she had put into this exam. She would definitely prove to them that she was definitely no worse than other teachers!
