How could someone with disabilities in both legs stand up and greet the teacher?
Xu Damao was deliberately humiliating him.
"You have no respect for teachers at all, you have no manners." Xu Damao, who was scolded, was not angry, but instead retorted in a cheeky manner.
"Xu! Da! Mao!!" Jia Dongxu grabbed what he was holding and was about to smash it, but Liu Haizhong scolded him down.
"If you're not going to learn, then get out!"
As the head of the literacy class, Liu Haizhong would not allow anyone to cause trouble in class.
"Xu Damao, you just wait."
Only after uttering a harsh remark did Jia Dongxu finally quiet down.
Chen Jun shook his head slightly as he watched what had just happened.
In the original drama, Xu Damao and Sha Zhu fought for their entire lives, but now it seems that Xu Damao has become Jia Dongxu's lifelong enemy.
"Alright, everyone, listen to me first. Since this is the first time I'm teaching you all, I need to test your level first."
"Only in this way can we make the most reasonable teaching plan. Now, please tell us about your situation, such as how many years of schooling you have or how many characters you know," Chen Jun said, clearing his throat.
Not all of the people who came to class today are illiterate; some of them know some characters or can write their own names.
Unexpectedly, after Chen Jun said this, more than half of the people silently lowered their heads.
It's obvious that those who are bowing their heads have no cultural background whatsoever, so they're too embarrassed to explain their situation.
Some people, like Xu Damao and Jia Dongxu, who knew a few words, shouted out with pride.
After understanding the basic situation of the literacy class, Chen Jun didn't say anything more and distributed the papers he had prepared in advance. Because there were too few papers, only two or three people could read one copy.
"Let's start with the most basic pinyin, beginning with the first one. Everyone, read after me, and read aloud."
As Chen Jun led the reading, initially only a few people in the courtyard followed along, with most of them too embarrassed to speak.
Fortunately, there were thick-skinned people like Xu Damao, whose loud reading voices were so loud that they had to drown out Jia Dongxu's voice, and gradually he also motivated the others.
Soon, the sound of orderly reading aloud filled the courtyard.
......
The next day, after finishing his work entertaining guests in the cafeteria, Chen Jun blatantly skipped work.
The destination was clear: head straight for Captain Jia and invite him to come to the yard to see how to set up a bathroom inside the house.
As the saying goes, professional matters should be taught to professionals. Captain Jia only took a walk around the courtyard and came up with a reasonable solution.
"Director Chen, the idea you just mentioned is not feasible. Although connecting the water pipes is convenient, drainage is a problem. I suggest putting the toilet in the back building, simply laying a foundation, and expanding out a small room on top to serve as the toilet."
After saying that, Captain Jia led Chen Jun around to the back of the courtyard house, where there was a vacant lot that could be used to expand the bathroom.
These days, there's no concept of illegal construction, and you don't need to report to the local street office when you expand your building.
"Director Chen, knock over there. There's a small river over there, a branch of the Yu River. Once the small house is built, you can just dig a drainage ditch to solve the drainage problem, and I guarantee there won't be any strange smells inside."
It's obvious that Captain Jia is very experienced in this kind of thing; he even thought of the drainage problem.
"The drainage ditch is a bit rough. Could we run a pipe underneath it?" Chen Jun pondered for a moment and then asked.
Captain Jia grinned upon hearing this: "Of course you can. As long as you're willing to spend the money, you can bury as many pipes as you like."
"Money is not a problem, as long as the sanitary napkins can be neatly stored away."
"Well, since Director Chen has put it that way, why not spend a little more money and build the bathroom to look just like the back building? That way it will not only look nicer, but it will also be less prone to leaks." Captain Jia loves doing this kind of tedious work. Although it's troublesome, it earns him more money.
Chen Jun said there was no problem and handed over the task of building the toilet entirely to Captain Jia.
Captain Jia accepted the deposit and brought his men to the courtyard to work the next day.
Don't underestimate the construction of a small bathroom; it caused a much bigger commotion than the last time the house was cleaned, with a large group of eight or nine people arriving.
Captain Jia divided the people into two teams: one team went to the back to lay the foundation for the toilets, and the other team began to lay water pipes.
Such a commotion immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the courtyard.
Bored out of his mind, Jia Dongxu pushed his wheelchair to the backyard to watch the commotion. He saw that it was Chen Jun's family tidying up, and he couldn't help but frown.
"Hey, hey, what are you doing? Who gave you permission to connect water pipes in the yard?"
Hearing that someone had come to cause trouble, Captain Jia came out of the house, glanced at the people watching in the yard, and then looked at Jia Dongxu sitting in a wheelchair. He then slowly took out a piece of paper from his pocket.
"These are the approval procedures from the subdistrict office. We just need to connect a pipe into the house, and it can be done in a day."
"We will clean the yard thoroughly later, so don't worry."
Borrowing a water pipe from inside the house?
Everyone was a little confused when they heard this.
Why would you connect a water pipe into the house for no reason?
Iron is so expensive these days, just buying these water pipes would cost a lot of money. Is Chen Jun just bored and has nothing better to do?
"Comrade, what are you doing connecting the water pipes?" Aunt Er asked curiously.
"Director Chen wants to install a bathroom at home. With this bathroom, he can wash his face, brush his teeth, and take a shower at home. Does anyone else want to install one? I can provide free renovation advice."
Captain Jia is a qualified renovation team leader who never forgets to attract customers wherever he goes.
"Goodness, is it really necessary just to be able to shower at home? This renovation will cost at least twenty or thirty yuan, right?"
One resident couldn't help but say that, in her opinion, it's quite convenient to wash your face and brush your teeth in the courtyard. Although you sometimes have to queue, there aren't many people in the courtyard, so you can wait in line for a while.
As for bathing, in the summer you can just use a basin to collect water and wipe yourself down indoors, and in the winter you can just go to a public bathhouse. There's no need to spend so much money on renovations.
"Twenty or thirty isn't enough, it has to be over forty," Captain Jia said with a smile.
Good heavens!
Over forty?
An average person's monthly salary isn't enough to cover all that trouble.
Jia Dongxu was just a little tempted, since he is currently in a wheelchair and it is inconvenient for him to use the water tap in the yard. If a water pipe could be connected to the house, a lower water tap could be installed.
Upon hearing these prices, Jia Dongxu immediately gave up, as his family couldn't afford such a large sum of money.
"They really have money but don't know what to do with it. Spend it all, and when they've spent all their money, they'll be crying."
Jia Dongxu left a sour remark and then left the backyard.
