Chapter 31 Examination
This kind of life lasted for half a month. At first, when Chen Zhuyi returned home, he felt like his legs were about to break and his back ached, but later he could walk briskly.
The most obvious change Chen Zhu felt was that her health was not as bad as before.
Because she was tired and ate a lot, her complexion became much rosier.
Chen Zhu took his own pulse and found that it was much better than before, and he was very surprised.
I didn’t expect there would be an unexpected gain!
Within half a month, Chen Zhuyi studied every day and practiced teaching at home with Sui Sui as his student. Finally, the school issued a notice to recruit teachers.
The next day was a rest day. In the afternoon, Ye Xumei ran to Chen Zhuyi's house and ate an apple.
"You don't know how chaotic everyone was when the news of the school's teacher recruitment came out. Everyone went out early this morning, and when they came back in the afternoon, they were all sneaking around, hiding their things, for fear of being seen." Ye Xumei sighed, "It's so quiet at the educated youth camp right now. I couldn't find anyone to talk to. I wanted to chat with Liu Zhaodi, but before I even approached her, she immediately covered herself with a book and hid, as if she was afraid I'd see her."
Chen Zhu understood.
After all, being a teacher is easier than working in the fields.
"She was afraid you'd ask her to borrow some. After all, the information isn't complete. I looked for it ahead of time, but I only found a few. We're only hiring two people this time, so the competition is fierce."
Ye Xumei heard this and said, "Only two? Are you sure about that? Otherwise, why don't you talk to Commander Lu? After all, the relationship is there, and he's willing to help you."
Chen Zhu smiled, his eyes full of confidence.
“There is nothing I decide to do that I won’t succeed in.”
Chen Zhuyi was not exaggerating. She was a woman who had even achieved success in scientific research, so being a primary school teacher was no problem. Moreover, she learned the news half a month earlier than others, so she was naturally more seriously prepared.
Ye Xumei felt relieved after hearing this and continued to chew his apple, his eyes fixed on Sui Sui.
"Zhu Yi, you are so fat that you are almost like a ball."
Since Suisui came to Chen Zhu's family, he has been drinking a bowl of hot milk and thick millet porridge every day, and his body has expanded rapidly.
Chen Zhuyi looked at Sui Sui seriously.
"I'm not fat. I feel a little thinner than a few days ago."
Ye Xumei: "..."
How can someone lie to such an extent with their eyes open? Is the dog that you said has lost some weight the one that's so fat it staggers when it walks?
Even if you were half as thin, you wouldn’t be considered thin!
Chen Zhuyi bought a rocking chair from an old man who made furniture on the island, and was now lying lazily on it basking in the sun.
As it grows older, it becomes braver and has explored every corner of the house. Now it is particularly yearning for the outside world.
While neither of them was looking at it, it walked towards the door tremblingly.
"Shen Zhiqing."
Chen Zhu opened his eyes when he heard the voice and looked towards the door. He saw An Yu and another man in military uniform standing at the door. He stood up and walked over, and by the way, picked up Sui Sui who almost escaped.
"Come in."
Chen Zhu glanced at An Yu.
The bandage on An Yu's leg had been removed, and she was no longer holding the crutches. Although she still had a slight limp when she walked in, she had generally recovered well.
An Yu followed behind Platoon Leader Chen.
"Apologize!"
Platoon Leader Chen suddenly shouted, shocking everyone present.
An Yu was the first to react and immediately took a step forward and bowed deeply.
"I'm sorry, Shen Zhiqing! I apologize for my previous rude behavior towards you!"
Chen Zhu quickly waved his hands.
"It's okay, it's okay."
An Yu did not get up. His feet were unstable to begin with, and now his center of gravity was unstable and he began to shake, but he still did not straighten up.
Chen Zhuyi was a little at a loss.
Only then did Platoon Leader Chen speak calmly.
"stand up."
Only then did An Yu stand up.
Platoon Leader Chen looked at Shen Zhuyi, and a kind smile instantly appeared on his face: "Hello, Shen Zhiqing, I am An Yu's platoon leader, my last name is Chen, and I came here mainly to thank you for saving An Yu last time."
Platoon Leader Chen glanced at An Yu, who understood and limped outside to bring something in.
"This is the reward we decided to give to Comrade Shen for saving lives and helping the wounded after the meeting. It's not expensive, just a basket of eggs, a bag of cakes, and three pounds of fine grains. I hope Comrade Shen doesn't mind."
Chen Zhu shook his head and reached out to take it.
"How could that be? These items are already very valuable. Thank you."
"It should be."
Platoon Leader Chen politely replied, "The items have been delivered, so we won't keep them any longer."
Chen Zhuyi invited the guest to stay: "Stay for dinner."
"No." Seeing An Yu's interest, Platoon Leader Chen dragged An Yu out the door without hesitation: "We have something else to do in the team, so we'll leave first."
An Yu was dragged away.
The whole process took less than five minutes. Ye Xumei, who was sitting on the side, didn't react at all. He and Shen Zhuyi stood at the door, looking at the backs of the two people and sighing.
"Soldiers do things efficiently."
Chen Zhu agreed and prepared to go back to lying down and basking in the sun. When he turned around, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure flashing by not far away, and he stopped in his tracks.
That figure seems to be Xie Lingyi?
Wasn't she heading towards the mountain?
Chen Zhuyi felt doubtful, but he didn't care.
Curiosity kills. Haven’t you seen that many supporting characters in movies died because of curiosity?
The teacher interview was scheduled for a week later. In the remaining seven days, Chen Zhuyi was not as diligent as before. Instead, he relaxed and only spent one hour a day reviewing.
Soon the day of the exam arrived.
Chen Zhuyi took a day off in advance. Since he didn't have to get up early, he slept in. After waking up and looking at the watch, he saw that there were still three hours before the exam, so he had plenty of time.
After lazily getting up and washing up, Chen Zhuyi ate a meat bun and drank a glass of milk as usual, put on his clothes, and walked towards the school. On the way, Chen Zhuyi saw Xie Lingyi and Lu You hurriedly heading towards the mountain.
Chen Zhu took a look and turned around to continue on his way.
When I got to school, everyone waiting for the exam in the classroom looked over.
Chen Zhu looked around and saw about fifteen people. The recruitment requirement this time was a high school degree and it was not limited to educated youth, so there were also people from the island.
Seeing a new competitor, everyone lowered their heads and began to study their books more seriously. It's better to sharpen your sword before the battle, even if there are disadvantages. If you can guess a question correctly, maybe you can leave someone behind!
Chen Zhu found a place to sit down and regretted taking a pen.
Everyone else is reviewing, but you just sit there doing nothing. It makes you look like you're pretentious.
Liu Zhaodi stood in the corner. Seeing that no one went up, she bit her lower lip and hesitated for a moment, but finally did not go forward.
The exam time soon arrived and the invigilator walked to the door.
"Everyone, put down all the textbooks in your hands and follow me."
Everyone heard it and tried to take a few glances in the last few seconds, then put down what they were holding and followed. When Chen Zhu took a step to catch up, he was suddenly bumped on the shoulder.
