Chapter 36 Teacher
"Why is Captain Huo walking with his hands and feet together?"
Ye Xumei did not lower his voice deliberately when he said this. Huo Jinzhi heard it, staggered, and changed his walking posture several times, but he always returned to using the same hands and feet, so he simply ran.
Chen Zhu looked at the package on the ground and heard Ye Xumei's words, and suddenly realized something.
Captain Huo, could it be that you have taken a fancy to her?
Ye Xumei spoke at this time, interrupting Chen Zhuyi's thoughts. He turned around and put the idea behind him. The two began to discuss what to eat in the evening.
The interview results came out on the same day. Before dinner, Ye Xumei rode his bike to the school to check it out. When he came back, his voice had already arrived before he even reached the door.
"You're accepted! Takeichi, you're a teacher!"
Although he was basically sure that he would be the winner, when the dust settled, Chen Zhuyi still felt a huge joy in his heart and even wanted to cry.
Finally no need to get up early anymore!
Ye Xumei was also genuinely happy for Shen Zhuyi.
"Besides you, the other person who applied for the job isn't one of us educated youth. It's a little girl from the island named Liu Kexin. She seems to be the teacher's daughter. She'll start in three days, which happens to be the first day of school, so she can help out."
Chen Zhu nodded and agreed.
In the next three days, Chen Zhuyi received the news that he would be teaching mathematics courses to first graders, and began to prepare. He also took the time to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to order a bicycle.
On the way home riding a Phoenix bicycle, Chen Zhu knew it might be a bit eye-catching, but he didn't expect it to be so outstanding.
There were more than a dozen little kids following behind the bike. Every time they passed a house, if there was someone at the door, they would stand up to stop her and reach out to touch the bike.
After all, in the 1970s, bicycles were one of the three major items.
The news that Chen Zhuyi had bought a bicycle spread all over Moon Island, and everyone was discussing how rich Chen Zhuyi was. He said he would buy a bicycle, but soon, this rumor was overturned.
"What! You borrowed money to buy it?"
Chen Zhu nodded, somewhat helplessly: "The place where I live is too far from the school, so I borrowed some from Commander Lu, and will pay it back slowly when I get my salary."
Within half an hour, Chen Zhuyi was penniless, but the news that he knew Commander Lu became known to everyone again.
This is exactly the effect Chen Zhuyi wants.
After putting the bicycle in the yard and locking the door, Chen Zhuyi ate buns and milk as usual, played with Suisui for a while, and then went to bed early.
On the third day, Chen Zhuyi got up in high spirits, washed up, and had his meal. Then he rode his bike towards the school.
Today is the first day of school. When Chen Zhu arrived at the office, there were already many parents queuing with their children.
Principal Liu was sitting at the door, writing down tuition fees with a pen. When he saw Chen Zhu coming, he hurriedly called her.
"Teacher Shen, your handwriting is beautiful. Come over and help me with the tuition."
"good."
As soon as Chen Zhu walked over, the two began to divide the work, one was responsible for calculating the amount of money, and the other was responsible for writing it down.
The annual tuition for grades one to three is one dollar, and for grades three to six it is one dollar and fifty cents.
The money each parent has is basically scattered, and it is obvious that they have been saving for a long time, so they have to count it very carefully.
If there is a mistake of one or two points, we have to recalculate, which is very time-consuming.
Almost every family on the island has three or four children. Life on the island is richer than in the mainland because people can fill their stomachs by catching free seafood. Now that the economy is better, some people come here specifically for sightseeing. In addition, Secretary Chen deliberately promotes the benefits of reading, so most families are willing to let their children come here to study.
Even if you don't have a great future, at least you can recognize a few words, so it will sound better when you talk about it with your partner in the future, right?
Chen Zhu carefully recorded the tuition fees of each household, stroke by stroke.
"Wang Maomao, first grade, one piece."
A ball of crumpled money with a sour smell was thrown on the table. Chen Zhu held his breath subconsciously, then frowned and raised his head.
Why does this voice sound so familiar to her, as if she's just heard it before?
Chen Zhuyi has a good memory. She looked at the man in front of her who was wrapping his head and body tightly in the middle of summer.
Principal Liu on the side also looked at the man twice, and then his eyes fell on the bald little boy next to him before he suddenly realized.
"You are Wang Maomao's father." Principal Liu hesitated for a moment, then reached out to the smelly money and counted it.
"No problem, Mr. Shen, please take note of it."
Chen Zhu nodded and glanced at the man, just in time to see him pull down his mask to cough and spit. Although most of his face was covered, she could see his eyes.
Looking at those eyes, an idea suddenly came to Chen Zhuyi's mind.
This pair of eyes is exactly the same as the man who brought the little girl here just now. When you think about the comparison between the two men's voices, isn't it just that one has a low voice and the other has no voice!
The difference is that the man did not cover himself completely.
After finishing writing, the man took the little boy away.
Chen Zhuyi couldn't help but look over, and Principal Liu saw it: "Wang Maomao's father has been working outside and only comes back in the summer. He is allergic to ultraviolet rays, so he dresses like this."
Really?
Chen Zhuyi asked tentatively: "Have you seen his true appearance?"
Teacher Liu was stunned, and after thinking carefully, he was a little surprised: "Really, not really. His family doesn't like to get along with others, so we rarely see him."
Chen Zhuyi was silent, then pointed at the name "Wang Tongtong".
"Is there any relationship between this girl and Wang Maomao?"
"No, they have the same last name, but they are not related."
Chen Zhuyi felt as if she had discovered some secret, but she didn't dare to say it now.
Before she could recover, she saw an old woman rushing over with great vigour, pushing aside the people in line, turning around and shouting at the little boy behind her with a smile.
"Yaozu, come quickly."
Then, when he turned to Chen Zhuyi, he had an impatient look on his face and threw out a dollar and eighty cents from his pocket: "Two children, one is Cheng Yaozu and the other is Cheng Putao, both in the second grade."
Teacher Liu got a headache when he saw this person.
"Grandma Cheng, I told you last year that the tuition for one child is one dollar. Why are you doing this again?"
Grandma Cheng curled her lips.
"Then don't let Grape go. He's a dumb kid, it doesn't matter whether he goes or not. Just let Yaozu go."
As soon as he finished speaking, two boys arrived.
The two men looked to be of similar age, but one was plump and white, and wore clothes without patches, while the other wore tattered clothes that were probably discarded by adults, with a hole at the waist, and was tied up with a rope by a child, looking out of place.
When Grandma Sheng saw the chubby little boy, her face smiled as brightly as a chrysanthemum.
"Yaozu, your brother doesn't want to go to school anymore, let's take you to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some candy!"
Cheng Putao, who was standing behind, raised his head instantly when he heard his grandmother's words, his eyes full of panic.
