"What are you two girls doing with so much stuff?"
The village chief glanced at the things piled on the table and smiled helplessly. "Just tell me what's wrong. We don't need to stand on ceremony."
“Uncle Village Chief, these are not valuable items.”
Lin Jingyu smiled and explained, then added, "Shiyu and I will be going to high school in the county town in September, and I wanted to talk to you about the matter of me taking on a substitute teaching position."
"Substitute teaching?"
The village chief had a sudden inspiration and nodded, "You have to go to class, so it's really inconvenient for you to continue teaching as substitutes."
"Did you find someone to substitute for you?"
Lin Jingyu mentioned people she was familiar with, "Uncle, what do you think of Wang Hongliang and Zhu Haofeng?"
"them?"
The village chief frowned. "I trust the character of these two, but aren't there too many male teachers?"
Only Ms. Mu and Ms. Yang are female teachers left. I wonder if these male teachers can teach these naughty students in the village well.
"Uncle, you can give it a try."
Lin Jingyu smiled slightly, "If they are not suitable, we can choose someone else later."
Or, to put it another way, we could reserve one spot for them and choose a female teacher for the other. What do you think, Uncle?
"Adding one male teacher and having three female teachers would be more appropriate."
The village chief was quite accepting of the suggestion, and then asked, "Do you have any candidates for female teachers?"
"No."
Lin Jingyu shook her head and replied, "Uncle, you can handle that. As for the male teacher, let Wang Hongliang, the educated youth, take the position. He has a good personality, and all the boys in the village like to play with him."
"Okay, Wang Zhiqing will be the male teacher."
The village chief readily agreed, "As for the female teacher, we'll observe her for a while longer."
"Thank you for your trouble, Uncle."
"This is our job, no trouble at all."
...
The two chatted for a while longer at the village chief's house.
She declined Aunt Hongmei and Sister-in-law Guihua's invitation to stay for dinner and went directly to Mu Qiuyue's house.
Wang Hongliang happened to be present as well.
"real?"
Hearing that the spot had been given to him, Wang Hongliang was extremely surprised. "The village chief is willing?"
"Why wouldn't you?"
Peng Shiyu smiled and said, "We bought the substitute teaching positions back then. Now that we're leaving to go to school, we have the right to suggest who should take over the positions."
"We originally wanted to give the other spot to Zhu Zhiqing."
Lin Jingyu explained, "The village chief means there are too many male teachers, so it would be best to choose a female teacher."
We were unsure which to choose, so we left it to the village chief to decide.
Qiuyue, do you think any of the female educated youth in the educated youth compound had good personalities and were suitable to be teachers?
