Chapter 353 Lu Fengqin (Revised), who is comparable to Qingwen
. Nowadays, qualified university professors are very scarce, and Su Tingqian teaches economics, and there are not many people who understand this.
When the principal heard Su Tingqian said he wanted to resign, he felt like he was struck by lightning. The school was about to start, where could he find a professor to take over the class?
He definitely couldn't agree to that.
Su Tingqian had no choice but to take out the instruction with a red seal, saying that the leaders above had other arrangements for him.
The principal looked at the red seal that symbolized the highest authority, was silent for a long time, and finally did not agree. He said that even if the leaders had other arrangements, they had to let people hand over the work before they could leave.
After the two argued for a while, they finally reached a consensus that Su Tingqian must finish teaching this semester. As for the principal, he also has one semester to apply for new teachers from the Ministry of Education.
After achieving his goal, Su Tingqian left happily. After
the college entrance examination was resumed, the country once again attached importance to education. But during that time, many teachers could not cope with it, resulting in an extremely tight shortage of teaching resources. If it were to go in the normal way, Su Tingqian estimated that he would not be able to leave for at least one or two years.
Only drastic measures could enable him to leave as quickly as possible.
As for leaving immediately, Su Tingqian had never thought about it. After all, he had already taught those students for a semester, and he had to finish the remaining courses.
While the couple was dealing with work, Su Mo and Su Yiyuan went to arrange the decoration of the house.
Xu Qifa is a local and knows more about the things here. Through Xu Qifa's introduction, the two found a construction team from a nearby commune. They were also responsible for buying materials, so they didn't have to run around.
At this time, if you want to buy building materials, you have to ask the relevant department for approval.
Su Mo drew a decoration plan, directly on white paper with colored pens. Although it is a bit simple, the effect can still be seen.
Gaodi Street is a famous clothing street after the reform and opening up.
For the decoration of the first floor of the arcade on Gaodi Street, Su Mo plans to just paste tiles and paint white walls, and keep it clean and tidy.
Su Mo plans to use the second floor as a studio. She will buy some sewing machines and find some tailors to make clothes there. The decoration of the second floor is the same as the first floor. Just put up tiles and paint the walls white. It will be clean and tidy.
The third floor is for living, so the decoration is more detailed. Many designs from later generations are added. Many cabinets in the whole house are custom-made.
The commune has a construction team, so there will naturally be a carpenter team. When the time comes, let their carpenter team come over and measure the size and make it.
As for the bungalow courtyard in another place, Su Mo also plans to use it as a studio. It will also be a simple decoration. Just repaint the floor and paint the walls white.
It is the first time for the construction team to take such a job. Usually, they help people build houses. Seeing this, they are a little unsure.
But the leader of the construction team was a far-sighted man. He thought that there would only be more such jobs in the future, so he patted his chest and assured Su Mo that he would do it according to her requirements.
Even if they didn't make any money on this job, they would definitely do it well. As long as their reputation spreads, when someone wants to renovate their house in the future, the first person they think of will be them.
Su Mo followed the leader of the construction team to the building materials market. At that time, building materials in the country were pitifully scarce, and ceramic tiles were only the white ones that were ten centimeters square. Su Mo had no choice but to order that kind.
As for the wall paint, Su Mo thought it was never white enough, so she didn't buy it in the country, and asked Xu Qifa to buy a few barrels of latex wall paint from the port city.
After the matter was settled, the construction team began to work. Su Yiyuan lived nearby, so he often came to keep an eye on the progress and correct anything wrong.
Su Mo had already started school at this time, and the school was a bit far from here, so she came to check every two or three days.
Yangcheng was busy with decoration, and Lu Xiaolan in the Lujia Village Brigade was also packing her luggage, preparing to leave for school.
This year's New Year's gift was bought in Haishi and sent back by Su Mo. Haishi's textiles are famous in China. They sent a lot of fashionable fabrics and also sent Lu Xiaolan two of the most fashionable dresses.
Lu Fengqin watched from the side, a little envious. She was 15 years old and had never worn a skirt.
"Aunt, please give me a skirt." Lu Fengqin looked at the two new skirts and said.
If it was before, Lu Xiaolan would have given it to
her. But when she came back from winter vacation, she found that Lu Fengqin had really changed a lot. Although she was active in study and no longer clamored to go to Guangzhou, she seemed to have become... how to say it, like Qingwen in "Dream of Red Mansions" that the teacher asked them to read, with lofty ambitions.
Lu Xiaolan was in the Chinese department, and appreciating famous works was their learning task. Last semester, Lu Xiaolan read a lot of famous books.
After Lu Xiaolan came back, Li Yue'e jokingly told her that Lu Fengqin had grown up and seemed to like to be coquettish. She used a red hairband to tie her hair, and asked her to use the osmanthus hair oil and vanishing cream that Su Mo sent to her.
Lu Xiaolan has been observing Lu Fengqin for some time and found that she seems not as diligent as before, and always orders Lu Aiqin to do the work. Even the way she dresses is different.
Before, Lu Fengqin always wore clothes with patches at home, saying that she would not dirty her new clothes when she was working. But now, even at home, Lu Fengqin dresses decently.
It's not that dressing decently is bad, if the family has the conditions, it is not a problem to dress in any way. It's just that the conditions in the eldest brother's family are not that high.
Although both of them have wages, they have to support three children with this little salary and pay for their education. The family is not easy.
"Fengqin, this skirt doesn't suit you." Lu Xiaolan refused.
Lu Fengqin thought Lu Xiaolan was saying that it didn't fit her, so she quickly said, "I'll ask you to alter it, and it will fit me."
Then she reached out to take the plaid striped dress she liked. She had never seen such a beautiful skirt before, and if she wore it to school, she would be so jealous of those people.
Lu Xiaolan held Lu Fengqin's hand, "It's not appropriate. Such a skirt is not suitable for a junior high school student like you."
"Fengqin, it seems that you don't take what your aunt said to heart at all."
"You should eat according to your ability. You are still a junior high school student who depends on your parents for support. It is not appropriate for you to wear such a good skirt. If you can afford it yourself, or your parents can afford it for you, then your aunt will not say anything."
"Since your family doesn't have this ability now, you should do things within your ability and wear clothes that your family can afford."
"As a person, you should be down-to-earth and don't be so vain."
The heart is nurtured bit by bit, who doesn't want good things? Once you get used to good things, but you don't have the ability to buy them, it's easy to go astray.
"Why am I so vain? I just want a skirt." Lu Fengqin was angry and embarrassed.
"Why is my family unable to afford it? Wasn't this bought by my aunt? Why is it suitable for you but not for me?"
"I think you are stingy, you want to get everything good. You have so many skirts, what's wrong with giving me one? If you can't bear to part with it, just say it directly, there's no need to scold me in a roundabout way." After
Lu Fengqin finished speaking, she ran out crying.
