Chapter 107 Teacher's Dispute
After Li Ruolan returned, she asked Deng Minghao if he knew about this.
Deng Minghao nodded: "I heard about it from the villagers these past two days."
"What do you think? Are you willing to be a tractor driver?" Li Ruolan asked.
Deng Minghao held Ningning in his arms and teased her, "Of course I want to be one, but the tractor driver has already been chosen, and it's the captain's son. I can't possibly steal the job from the captain's son, right?"
When Li Ruolan heard this, she knew that this matter was probably impossible.
Deng Minghao put his daughter on the kang and said, "In fact, it's not very tiring during the autumn harvest. Even if I'm tired, it's only for a month. I don't think it's a big deal.
I just treated it as physical exercise. I was used to working, and after I finished school, I settled down in the city. Except for helping out when I harvested wheat and corn, I didn't do any work on weekdays.
As a result, during those few days, my back and waist ached as soon as I worked, which showed that I was still lacking exercise. Now my health has improved a lot.”
Li Ruolan raised her eyebrows: "I quite agree with what you said."
Deng Minghao reached out and patted Li Ruolan's butt: "What's wrong? Did I starve you before?"
Li Ruolan gave Deng Minghao a look and let him experience it himself.
After the autumn harvest, the weather became colder and colder. Qingqing and Ningning also started to change into thicker clothes. Both children were quite irritable.
They were not wearing so much before, so they felt relaxed all over. They could turn over whenever they wanted, and could sit for a while if they wanted.
What they were wearing now were so thick and heavy that the three of them couldn’t turn over for a long time. Both children felt very uncomfortable and kept pulling at their own clothes when they had nothing to do.
When the team had no work to do and started hibernating, Li Ruolan temporarily dismissed Wang Xiaoni and asked her to come back to help after the spring next year.
Five yuan per month, Wang Xiaoni helped take care of the child for seven months this year, and Li Ruolan and others paid a total of 35 yuan.
During this period, Wang Xiaoni did a very good job. She helped wash diapers and clothes for the children, cooked lunch, and helped take care of the children for the rest of the time. She was very dedicated.
Although Wang Xiaoni didn't say anything, she really liked this job, and Li Ruolan was also very nice to her.
Apart from anything else, at least she had a full meal at noon. Since she was a child, Wang Xiaoni had never had a full meal.
Since she came to Li Ruolan's house to help take care of the children, she can eat a full meal every noon, and no matter how much she eats, Li Ruolan never gets angry with her.
So Wang Xiaoni takes care of the two children very dedicatedly.
Li Ruolan saw all of this, so she gave Wang Xiaoni two more dollars as a year-end bonus.
"It's not much, but it's a token of my appreciation." Li Ruolan said with a smile.
Wang Xiaoni was so grateful that she took this month's salary plus a two-dollar bonus and left happily.
Once they had some free time, the people at the educated youth point began to have other ideas. Every day, many educated youth went to the team leader's house to block him, hoping to get the position of teacher.
"Captain, our Victory Brigade's school has been built for such a long time, and it's time to recruit students next year.
We should also decide on teachers and the like quickly, right?"
The captain's face looked very bad. The door was blocked so early in the morning, and the four of them were in a bad mood.
But this matter still needs to be handled properly. If it really gets out of hand, it will be embarrassing for everyone.
“We village cadres are discussing this matter, and we will let you know when we have concluded the discussion.
Now everyone has something to do, so go back first and don't block my door."
At first, the captain said some nice words and asked them to go back.
But these educated youth were not so easy to fool. After a few times, the captain's words were no longer effective and the educated youth seemed to be starting to make trouble.
"Team leader, do you want to hand over the teacher's job to someone in the team? Although we are educated youth, we are also part of the team.
Moreover, all of us have graduated from high school and have received higher education, so we feel that we can also be teachers.
You can't exclude us just because we are educated youth from outside, right? That's not fair."
"That's right. If this is really the arrangement, then it's not fair. We should go to the commune and ask whether we, the outsiders, can't be teachers."
The captain was extremely annoyed and didn't know what to do for a moment, so he could only procrastinate and talk about other things, and the matter was left unaddressed.
There was a lot of arguing and even after all the food had been distributed, the matter still hadn't been settled. The educated youth became anxious and said some unpleasant things.
During this period, Zhou Shengnan and Zheng Fanghua were quite stable. They went to protest with the educated youth every day, but they didn't say anything.
Deng Minghao, Lu Yunxiao and others took advantage of this period to go into the mountains several times and hunted a lot of prey.
The next day after they came back, the educated youth at the educated youth point were completely furious and ready to fight with the team leader and his men.
The team leader and several village cadres were stuck and couldn't get out. Looking at the group of angry educated youth, they felt a little scared.
Deng Minghao and the others were waiting for this moment. The bigger the matter got, the more it would become, until it reached a point where neither side could back down from the situation.
Seeing that the two sides were about to fight, Lu Yunxiao, who was half a member of the Victory Brigade and half a member of the educated youth site, opened his mouth and made a suggestion.
"Captain, the educated youth are making trouble just because they want the position of teacher, but being a teacher is not that easy.
A teacher's duty is to teach good students, but most people cannot be good teachers.
How about this, we just make a set of test papers, and everyone, whether they are educated youth or students in junior high school or high school in the village, can get a set of test papers.
Then we will find someone to give the scores on the spot. Those with the highest scores must have studied the best, and this will definitely teach the children a lot, so they will be the teachers.
What do you think of my suggestion? After all, when I was in the army, there were kindergartens and primary schools next to the army, and that’s how teachers were selected.”
"This is a good idea! We are willing to take the test." Zhou Shengnan was the first to speak loudly.
Zheng Fanghua also nodded: "That's right, we all have real talents and knowledge, so why not use this method to elect who will be the teacher."
When the educated youth heard this proposal, they all nodded. If they took the exam, they would have a chance to get the position of teacher.
If you don't participate, the position of teacher will definitely be taken over by someone they appoint.
This is not fair.
When the team leader and several village cadres heard this, they looked a little hesitant. After all, they had received a lot of good things during this period of time, all for the position of teacher.
However, if they do not agree with this decision, these educated youth will definitely continue to make trouble.
