There is a flag-raising ceremony and a speech under the national flag every Monday. All teachers are required to attend such occasions. Chen Yun and Teacher Xiao Dai went together.
Teacher Xiao Dai couldn't help but complain: "I have to waste another class standing there."
"Shuh, speak softly, be careful not to let others hear you." Chen Yun instructed her.
Teacher Dai shrank her neck. Chen Yun also understood this teacher Dai a little. The world is big but not as big as her. Yes, this teacher Dai and Chen Yun have the same hobbies, but Chen Yun likes to read CEO novels while teacher Dai likes to watch martial arts movies. Although she looks gentle and delicate, she likes these things about revenge.
Of course, Chen Yun herself has also summarized some rules. People who like to read a certain type of novel are often the opposite in real life. For example, she likes to read articles about CEOs and has imagined which CEO would fall in love with her. However, when she really considers the marriage partner, she starts from the actual situation.
Similarly, Teacher Dai usually loves to watch martial arts movies, and gets excited when watching them, but she is notoriously timid in school. She is often ordered around by the old teachers and dares not speak a word. On the contrary, Chen Yun is a bit tougher than her.
The students did morning exercises last night. The flag-bearer raised the national flag and sang the national anthem. A model student gave a speech, and then the principal gave a speech. Chen Yun felt drowsy listening to them.
Fortunately, it was over after that. The teachers who had classes went to teach, and the teachers who didn't have classes were in the office preparing lessons. Mondays are usually for the homeroom teachers, because they have to collect the children's attention after playing on Saturdays and Sundays. Chen Yun always uses Mondays to prepare for the week's lessons, and then comes when she has classes, and goes home when she doesn't have classes.
She doesn't need to find students to give her extra lessons, and she is not the main subject teacher, so it is actually very comfortable.
After preparing for the lesson, Chen Yun looked at the time and saw that it was almost eleven o'clock, so she prepared to pack up and go home. Because school ends at eleven thirty, the school gate will be so crowded that it will be difficult to get out.
When she was leaving the school gate, she saw a woman driving a small car passing by. Chen Yun took a look and felt a little jealous. Her father had a small car, which was his treasure, but she had only learned how to ride a bicycle.
When they got home, Chen Dafen's place was particularly lively. When she saw Chen Yun, she insisted on pulling her over for dinner. "Come to my place for dinner today. Our relatives from our hometown are coming over. I bought a big sea bass today. Our old Hu won't be home for lunch, so there are plenty of dishes!"
The only people in this family building who had a good relationship with Chen Dafen were Chen Yun, Zhu Xiaofang, and Xu Lijie. Although Qin Guizhi was a nice person, she was the wife of the head of the group after all, so it was not right to ask her to accompany guests. Zhu Xiaofang and Xu Lijie, who were at the same level, did not come back at noon, so only Chen Yun was a little free.
Besides, Chen Yun is good at speaking and a very decent person, so it would be a good idea to ask her to come.
This time, it was Chen Dafen's sister-in-law and brother-in-law who came. The sister-in-law, Hu Yong'e, was a hard-working person at first glance. She helped to mop the floor without any hesitation. Chen Yun was happy for Chen Dafen and secretly pulled her aside and said, "That's good now. It seems that she is not sparing any effort. You can rest assured."
Chen Dafen was not happy. She whispered to Chen Yun, "Yes, he took the money and took 20% of it. He didn't want to take advantage of us."
But Chen Yun felt something was wrong. The most taboo thing among relatives is to go into business together. Chen Yun's family is in business. If she has no money, she would rather borrow from others than go into partnership. Otherwise, she will have no chance to explain herself.
She reminded Chen Dafen: "Partners, be careful to avoid conflicts."
But Chen Dafen waved her hands and said, "They helped me before. They lent me the money for my trip here. I want to help them too."
Since she said so, Chen Yun didn't say anything more. Chen Dafen was not a stingy person. She steamed sea bass and bought a lot of cooked vegetables and meat dishes. It can be seen that they have a good relationship between aunt and sister-in-law. Hu Yong'e even helped to feed Chen Dafen's son Hu Qiang.
"Come on, Chen Yun, don't be polite, I'll scoop the meatballs into your bowl..."
After dinner, Chen Yun went home and took a nap. In the afternoon, she went to school for a class. Third grade students are at their naughty age, and Chen Yun spent almost half the class emphasizing discipline. This is also the shortcoming of the assistant teacher. Unlike these children, who would be scared and sit up straight when they see the head teacher, they would laugh when they see the assistant teacher.
After finishing a class, she saw the disapproving look on Team Leader Dai's face. "Teacher Chen, your class discipline is too poor. This is not acceptable. Fortunately, I was the one checking the discipline today. If it was a student of another age, he would definitely be deducted points again."
Chen Yun smiled and said, "Yes, I will definitely work hard in the future."
Seeing that she had a good attitude, Teacher Dai didn't say anything else. There were too many teachers in Hongqi School, and many of them had connections like Chen Yun. But although Chen Yun was not the kind of person who knew how to deal with people, her attitude was still good.
After class, she stayed in the office for a while, and only left after seeing some teachers leave. There is no way that there are too many female teachers in the primary school. Where there are many women, there are more gossips. Chen Yun herself has experienced this very well, so she is not the first to stand out. She always leaves after someone else leaves. Xiao Dai is different. The person who just left is the principal's wife. She is leaving, so Xiao Dai has to take over the math class for a year.
Xiao Dai had to take the class for her even though she pouted. Only then did Chen Yun realize that Liu Qiao was so far-sighted. She had no competition with the people here, and she had few classes, so no one could target her.
Unexpectedly, she ran into Liu Qiao when she came out. She ran over happily and said, "Are you here to pick me up?"
Seeing her rushing over, Liu Qiao reached out to pick her up: "Yes, I'm here to pick you up. I didn't go home yesterday. Did you not sleep well? I see your eyes are a little dark."
"No, I didn't sleep well during my nap. Oh, I had lunch at Dafen and her family's place, so I didn't buy any food. Shall we go buy some food first?"
Liu Qiao shook his head: "No, the deputy commander's wife is here today and wants to treat us to a meal at the military restaurant, so there's no need to buy food."
She often saw the wife of the regiment commander, Qin Guizhi, but she was not sure about the wife of the deputy regiment commander. She asked, "Didn't the wife of the deputy regiment commander follow the troops?"
"No, she was a local cadre, but later she went into business and opened a big company in the south."
When Chen Yun returned, she saw her. She had neat and smooth short hair, a nice white coat, and a nice scent. She didn't look like a person in her forties at all. She looked no more than thirty years old. She kept herself very young. Chen Yun had seen Liu Qiao's ability to make friends with people before, and today was no exception. There were several battalion commanders and deputy battalion commanders here, but Liu Qiao was the most popular.
"Sister-in-law, I saw your interview in a financial magazine. It was very good, especially..."
"Really? Xiao Liu, let me tell you..."
Chen Dafen smiled and joked with Chen Yun: "Your Liu Qiao is popular wherever he goes."
Now that they have been together for a while, Chen Yun also knows that Chen Dafen is a straightforward person. If you really ask her to do something, she won't be able to do it. Everything is written on her face. After hearing what she said, Chen Yun had to accept it with a smile.
Zhang Han, the wife of the deputy head of the regiment, talked to the men and the women as well. She gave each of the wives of the soldiers a bottle of perfume. Xu Lijie took it out and smelled it: "Oh, this is a foreign brand D. I have wanted to buy it for a long time, but I never found it."
Xu Lijie knew all about these famous brands. When she said that, Chen Yun also took a look at the packaging. However, she didn't know these famous brands, but she thought the fragrance was quite nice. Zhu Xiaofang came in last. After she came in, she asked Xu Lijie for some information from the side, and then went up to talk to Zhang Han.
"Hello sister-in-law, what I envy most in my life is people who start their own businesses, but I have no capital now. What project are you working on?" Zhu Xiaofang is very beautiful, and her whole face shines with a special light when she talks about starting a business.
Being a kindergarten teacher is really a lot of suffering. She has to accompany the children from morning till night, eating, drinking, defecating and urinating. If she said she particularly likes children, it would be fine, but she has never had children in her previous life or this life, and she has no patience. Moreover, she is the main teacher, so she has to be asked to do everything, and her salary is low.
I don’t know when I can save money if I rely on my salary like this. I need to save for at least a year to buy a washing machine, not to mention other things. Look at Chen Yun’s home, she has all kinds of electrical appliances. If she doesn’t do business, she won’t make any money if she keeps saving like this.
Zhang Han casually talked about her business, not intending to go into detail. Seeing that Zhu Xiaofang kept asking questions, she pulled Chen Yun aside to talk, "Where did you buy these boots? They are very nice."
Chen Yun said casually, "My father and I brought it back from Guangzhou."
Chen Dafen and Xu Lijie both brought their sons with them, so Zhang Han had to hold a child again. She told Xu Lijie, "I also want to have a child this time. I used to be busy with my career and rarely saw your deputy head. Now that I'm older, I want a child too."
Xu Lijie smiled and said, "It's not that easy. As long as you take good care of your body, you will get pregnant in two or three months."
Chen Dafen also nodded in agreement: "That's right, and sister-in-law looks much healthier than us, so she will definitely be pregnant soon."
Zhang Han, who was full of energy just now, became a little gloomy when she mentioned this question. "I hope so."
Zhou Qin pulled Chen Yun from behind and said, "Do you see, everyone has difficult times?" Although Zhang Hanfeng seems to be living a glorious life, she has been separated from the deputy head of the group for a long time and has no children, so her life may not be as good as they imagined.
"Not really. I see that you, sister-in-law, are living a very comfortable life." Chen Yun praised her.
Zhou Qin quickly said: "As for me, I just look good, but actually I am not as good as you!"
As if she was afraid that others would be jealous of her, Chen Yun still wanted to praise her: "Looking at what you said, I feel that if I could be like you, I would wake up laughing in my dreams. My daughter has become successful and has done an excellent job. Now I don't have to worry about anything."
Zhou Qin felt proud after hearing this, but she had to appear humble on the surface.
After being humble, she also revealed a piece of news to Chen Yun: "Our group leader is already over 55, and may retire soon. The deputy group leader is about to be promoted. When the time comes, our group may have to elect a deputy group leader again. I think your Liu Qiao is a rising star."
Zhou Qin's husband is young and older. Although he is firmly in the first battalion, he has lost the honors in the past few competitions to the second and fifth classes respectively. It seems that it is difficult for him to be promoted. On the contrary, young people have more hope.
Don't say that Qin Guizhi is really feeling aggrieved in secret. Normally, everyone who sees her would want to serve her, but now that they think the team leader is going to retire, they immediately go to curry favor with others.
