Chapter 110 Recruiting Teachers
After listening to Gu's father ramble on for a long time, Gu's mother finally couldn't help but step forward and snatch the microphone from his hand.
She said into the phone, "Wanwan! Since Yanxiao has decided to go back to the army, you should stay in Beijing! The medical conditions in Beijing are the best. Wait a while, until you're close to giving birth, then your mom and dad will come to Beijing to take care of you! You don't need to travel back and forth!"
To be honest, the reason they didn't want Su Xiangwan to go to the countryside with them was because they were worried about the poor medical conditions there.
Now that Gu Yanxiao has recovered and is returning to the army, and Su Xiangwan is now someone who has made contributions to the country, there is no need to worry about anyone using Su Xiangwan's identity to make trouble anymore.
Therefore, staying in the capital is the best choice for Su Xiangwan now.
"Mom, that's what I think too, but it will be hard on you and Dad."
Su Xiangwan spoke up.
To be honest, these past few months of traveling between Liaoning Province and Beijing, even in sleeper carriages, have given her a psychological trauma.
Traveling by car with a big belly is really too much of a hardship.
"Silly child, why are you talking about how hard it is with your parents? The one who is really working hard is you."
Hearing Su Xiangwan's thoughtful words, Gu's mother felt a wave of tenderness wash over her.
After giving her a few words of advice to take good care of herself, Gu's father snatched the microphone away again.
"Daughter, since you've decided to stay in Beijing, I'll let Secretary Tong decide about the village school!"
Su Xiangwan naturally agreed: "Okay, Dad. Secretary Tong is the village's old secretary. It would be best to let him take charge. I have no worries about him."
"Then, girl, you should rest well and remember to take good care of yourself."
After hanging up the phone, Gu's father grabbed a pack of cigarettes and leisurely strolled to the location of the village school.
Thanks to the efforts of the entire village, the basic structure of the school has been completed; all that remains are the doors, windows, and interior decoration.
The villagers of Bakeshu Village were busy and enthusiastic, but their faces were full of smiles.
Gu's father's heart also warmed.
He seemed to understand why Su Xiangwan was willing to donate such a large sum of money to build a school in Bakushu Village.
Children, even when they are young, are the hope of a family.
But on a larger scale, it represents the hope of a nation.
Only by educating the next generation well can a country become better and better.
"Uncle Gu".
"Brother Jianguo, you're out for a stroll, aren't you?"
The people who were busy installing windows at the school greeted Mr. Gu when they saw him.
"Yes! I just finished eating. I had nothing to do, so I came over to check on things."
No matter who greeted him, Gu's father always responded with a smile, showing no airs whatsoever.
Just then, Tong Liqun also came to the school to take a look. When he saw Gu's father, he walked over with a smile and asked, "Brother Jianguo, have Yan Xiao and the others said when they will be back?"
"That's exactly what I was about to tell you!"
When Gu's father saw Tong Liqun, he first offered him a cigarette, as always, before saying, "Xiang Wan just called me and said they probably won't be coming back."
Not coming back?
Hearing what Gu's father said, Tong Liqun, who had just lit a cigarette, suddenly found his Da Mudan cigarette tasteless and hurriedly asked, "What happened? Why aren't they coming back? Brother Jianguo, is it because we did something wrong in our village? Is someone gossiping again, so..."
"Secretary, please don't misunderstand..."
Father Gu quickly waved his hand and said, "Yan Xiao is preparing to return to the army, so Xiang Wan and he will most likely stay in the capital."
Hearing Gu's father say this, Tong Liqun finally breathed a sigh of relief. As long as it wasn't someone from the village who angered Su Xiangwan and the others, that was all that mattered.
That person was the benefactor who secured a school for their school!
If it weren't for the Gu family, how could their village possibly have such a school?
Not to mention other villages, even the town leaders are extremely envious of their school!
"It would be a waste to keep talents like Yan Xiao and Xiang Wan in our Bakushu Village. Only in a place like the capital can they better display their talents."
Tong Liqun was genuinely happy for Gu Yanxiao and the others.
"Xiang Wan said that the recruitment of teachers for this school will be handled by you, Party Secretary," said Mr. Gu, lighting a cigarette and smiling.
"Well... then you'll have to lend me a hand, brother! Otherwise, I really won't be able to handle it!" Tong Liqun said, feigning difficulty.
To be honest, how could he possibly be too busy to handle just the recruitment of school teachers!
However, he was worried that when it came time to recruit teachers, all the relatives and friends in the village would come to him asking for favors, and it would be troublesome to refuse them.
That's why I decided to bring Mr. Gu along. That way, if there's anything I can't refuse, I can just put it on Mr. Gu, which will make it easier to decline.
Another point Tong Liqun understood was that the Gu family probably wouldn't stay in Bakushu Village for long.
If only we could deepen the bond between the Gu family and Bakushu Village, and strengthen their relationship.
This is also a good thing for Bakushu Village.
Gu's father gave Tong Liqun a deep look, and he understood perfectly well what Tong Liqun was up to.
However, this school was founded by his daughter-in-law, so it's really not good to let a few bad apples spoil the whole bunch.
If you take care of things yourself, and the school is done well, your daughter-in-law will be happy too.
With Mr. Gu's approval, the recruitment of teachers proceeded rapidly.
As early as when they learned that a school was going to be built in the village, the educated youth in the educated youth office began to make plans.
When it comes to farm work, they certainly can't compare to the villagers of Bakushu Village.
But when it comes to reading and knowledge, they are definitely miles ahead of the villagers of Bakushu Village.
So, are there any people more suitable to be teachers at this school than them?
However, the people in the educated youth office were dumbfounded when they learned the number of teachers to be recruited.
"What? Only three teachers?"
Xia Yi and the others looked at Tong Liqun in disbelief: "Secretary Tong, there are only three teachers, can they manage to keep up?"
Tong Liqun raised his eyes and said, "The town will arrange for an experienced teacher to be the principal, and he will also be in charge of a course. So, our village will only need to recruit three more teachers."
"So this school only needs four teachers now?" Xia Yi, Liu Xian, and the other educated youths at the educated youth settlement looked at each other in bewilderment.
The atmosphere suddenly became somewhat awkward.
There are seven educated youth in their settlement now, but only half of them have the opportunity to become teachers.
Therefore, everyone has the potential to be their own competitor.
