Chapter 36: Choosing a Teacher



Looking at this scene, Ruan Jiaojiao actually understood it all.

Most of the families who cried were mainly because the children who went to school were boys. If it were girls, I guess many families would not even let them go to school.

But all in all, it is much better to have a primary school in the village.

Ruan Jiaojiao thought that since there was a primary school in the village, teachers would definitely be needed. So could she be a teacher?

Although Ruan Jiaojiao thought that if she were to choose a teacher, she would most likely choose someone from her own village. After all, Ruan Jiaojiao knew the principle of keeping wealth within the family.

But even if she thought so, Ruan Jiaojiao would not miss this opportunity. She would create one even if there was no opportunity.

After all, working every day is really tiring for Ruan Jiaojiao.

Just when Ruan Jiaojiao wanted to ask Song Qingfeng what he thought about this matter, Song Qingfeng actually poked Ruan Jiaojiao's arm first, but then took into consideration the other people around.

So he lowered his voice and said, "Jiaojiao, do you want to be a teacher? If you want, I can get you one."

After all, being a teacher in the village is much easier than being a worker in the city. If Jiaojiao becomes a worker, I may have fewer opportunities to meet Jiaojiao in the future.

Seeing that Song Qingfeng understood her so well, Ruan Jiaojiao nodded gently, blinked her eyes and looked at Song Qingfeng and said, "I want it. Can you help me get it?"

Song Qingfeng nodded mysteriously and did not respond to Ruan Jiaojiao's words.

Seeing Song Qingfeng being so arrogant, Ruan Jiaojiao glared at him.

She thought that Song Qingfeng would really start a dyeing factory if he was given a little color, so she couldn't be too nice to him.

Just as the two finished speaking, the village chief announced that the teachers would be selected from his own team.

Although the village chief is a fair person, he is inevitably selfish, so he would rather these benefits fall on his own people.

The other educated youth who were listening to the village chief's speech were all filled with indignation, and Lin Zhishu even exploded.

He said angrily, "Why do you villagers get all the benefits? Teacher selection should be fair and just. We educated youth also have a stake in building a primary school in the village. Besides, can a teacher selected from your village teach the children well?"

He looked at the villagers around him with contempt. If they were not nicer, he would have said that they were uneducated.

Although the educated youth around him did not say anything, the expressions on their faces showed that they agreed with what Lin Zhishu said.

The villagers felt very uncomfortable when they heard Lin Zhishu say this.

One woman even stood up and said, "Why are we not giving our village the teacher quota? You're giving it to us? And what do you mean by saying our villagers can't teach? Look at yourselves. You can't even farm, and yet you're teaching."

The further the situation progresses, the more intense it becomes.

The villagers of Shanghe Village and the educated youth started to curse at each other.

At that moment, the unity of the educated youth point reached its peak. Even Li Mengmeng joined in. It was rare to see such a united front.

A group of educated youth led by Lin Zhishu even said that they would go to the commune to report them, saying that they were abusing the educated youth who went to the countryside to provide support.

But the number of educated youth was still too small, and none of them scolded the villagers of Shanghe Village.

Despite this, the educated youth were unwilling to give up the opportunity to fight for their own interests. After all, working in the fields was too hard. Teaching only required talking.

Finally, the team leader called a halt, roaring, "Stop arguing! If you continue, all your work points for today will be deducted."

When the villagers heard about the deduction of work points, they stopped immediately, because work points are their lifeblood.

The number of work points determines the amount of food they receive this year. In the past, a mouthful of food meant a life.

Although times have improved, food is still very important.

When the educated youth saw that the villagers had stopped, they stopped cursing.

But during this process, Ruan Jiaojiao and Song Qingfeng didn't say much.

After all, they still understand the principle that the first bird to stick its head out gets shot, and although Jiaojiao and I want this opportunity from the teacher, aren't they still arguing for us?

Anyway, one more person wouldn't make much difference, and one less person wouldn't make much difference either, so Song Qingfeng and Ruan Jiaojiao watched them quarreling with peace of mind.

The team leader finally announced that there were five teacher positions this time, three for villagers and two for educated youth.

The three places in the village were assigned by their own village, and the two places in the educated youth point were also nominated by themselves.

The captain thought to himself that as long as he didn't get bothered in the end, it would be fine. The noise was really annoying.

Although the educated youth were still not satisfied with this approach, in their eyes, could country people teach well?

But he remained silent. After all, he couldn't go too far. If he angered the captain, what would he do if he didn't get a single spot?

So when the team leader shouted at them to continue working, everyone went to work slowly.

Jiang Yingyue asked the team leader for half a month's sick leave because she fainted in the morning.

Although the team leader was not very happy, he still agreed. After all, he couldn't let Jiang Zhiqing exhaust himself.

Ruan Jiaojiao and Song Qingfeng continued to struggle with the remaining work.

When the two finally waited until the time to get off work, they staggered back to the educated youth site.

When they returned to the educated youth site, they found that all the educated youth had arrived except them.

Every pair of eyes was staring at the two of them, even Jiang Yingyue and Li Mengmeng were the same.

Seeing that everyone was present, Wang Gang, the leader of the educated youth group, cleared his throat and said, "Since everyone is here, let's discuss the quota for elementary school teachers."

Then Ruan Jiaojiao saw Jiang Yingyue wink at Lin Zhishu, so Lin Zhishu said, "I think those newly arrived educated youth are not qualified to participate in the competition for teacher selection this time."

Not only did Ruan Jiaojiao quit, even Li Mengmeng was shocked when she heard what Lin Zhishu said.

She was so angry that she slammed the table, stood up and said, "Lin Zhishu, how did we, the new educated youth, offend you? Why can't we, the new educated youth, participate in the competition to select teachers?"

When Ruan Jiaojiao saw Li Mengmeng stand up, she stopped talking and decided to watch the fire from the other side of the river.

Lin Zhishu raised his chin proudly, looked at the new educated youth with disdain, and said, "We old educated youth have more experience and have spent more time in the countryside. We understand the children in the village better than you do, and we are more popular with them."

Li Mengmeng let out a loud "Puh" and cursed, "Only you, Lin Zhishu, understand the village kids. I usually see you walking past them and you always get scolded. And yet, they still like you. You can't even think before you tell a lie."
