The team leader was helpless, knowing that the teacher chosen was Meng Zhenzhen.
When the result came out, Meng Zhenzhen breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, all those good things weren't wasted.
She had almost completely spent all her money and possessions.
Finally, the brigade announced: "Those who want to go to school tomorrow and the day after, please register your children. Just contact me directly. It's five yuan per student, including pencils, school bags, and other school supplies. Please prepare them yourselves."
That's how the meeting ended?
Five yuan is something that a hardworking family can afford.
However, for some lazy people, five yuan is a difficult amount to afford.
Therefore, some families choose to send their children to school, while others do not.
Children can earn several centimeters a day at home, but when they go to school, they not only have to spend money, but they also can't earn centimeters.
Everyone dispersed, and Yun Ningyan and Huo Junshan returned to their own homes.
Yun Ningyan felt a lot of back pain, it was sore and uncomfortable, and she was also very sleepy.
I haven't felt well all day.
As soon as she entered the courtyard, she said, "Huo Junshan, I'm so sleepy. I'm going to take a nap. You can cook!"
Huo Junshan asked, "Are you feeling unwell?"
Yun Ningyan waved her hand: "It's nothing, I just feel a little discomfort in my lower back, I'll be fine after a nap."
Huo Junshan nodded and went to cook.
Yun Ningyan took off her coat and pants, lay down, and fell asleep in no time.
Huo Junshan made the pork ribs. Yan Yan likes braised pork ribs, so he stewed some for her.
I also made her two steamed egg custards.
He went inside to wake her up, and gently touched Yun Ningyan's cheek with his large, cool hand.
"Yanyan, dinner's ready."
The person on the bed didn't move, so he called out twice more before Yun Ningyan turned over and mumbled, "I'm not hungry, I don't want to eat, I want to sleep."
Huo Junshan turned her over and touched her head. Why was she so sleepy? Was she sick?
But it's hot here too!
He spoke again: "Yanyan, let's eat first. I stewed some pork ribs. We'll go to sleep after we eat."
Yun Ningyan opened her eyes. Actually, she didn't want to eat at all, but since Huo Junshan had already said so, she had no choice but to get up.
Huo Junshan personally washed her face and carried her to the kitchen for dinner.
Yun Ningyan tasted a piece of pork rib, and as soon as she put it in her mouth, she felt a fishy smell.
She felt nauseous and wanted to vomit.
She placed the ribs on Huo Junshan's plate and said, "These ribs taste so fishy, I don't want to eat them."
"fishy?"
Huo Junshan took a bite, and it wasn't fishy at all!
He specifically used rice wine to remove the fishy smell, so there's no fishy smell at all. How could Yan Yan say it's fishy?
Huo Junshan coaxed, "Then let's have steamed egg custard! We won't have the ribs; I'll make you crucian carp soup tomorrow."
He got up and got Yun Ningyan a small spoon.
Yun Ningyan took two bites of the steamed egg custard. The custard was topped with a layer of sesame oil, and it smelled delicious, but you could still smell the fishy smell!
She only ate two bites and then refused to eat anymore.
Huo Junshan was a little surprised. Didn't he usually like to eat steamed egg custard?
"Huo Junshan, I want grapes, can you wash them for me?"
As she spoke, a bunch of grapes appeared in her hand.
Huo Junshan initially wanted to refuse, suggesting she eat a meal first, but then he thought that since she couldn't eat a proper meal, some fruit would be fine too.
Quickly wash the grapes for her. Yun Ningyan ate one, and its sweet and sour taste dispelled the fishy smell from before.
She ate several pills before she felt much better in her stomach.
She only felt satisfied after eating the whole bunch of grapes.
I was thinking of having another skewer, but Huo Junshan said, "You can't eat anymore, have some rice."
Huo Junshan broke off half a steamed bun for her, and her brows furrowed.
She waved her hands repeatedly, saying, "No! I don't want to eat."
Huo Junshan sensed something was wrong with her, so he said, "Why don't we go to the commune hospital tomorrow to see if there's anything else that's bothering us!"
Yun Ningyan shook her head: "No need, I just had a bit of an upset stomach, but I feel much better after eating the grapes."
Huo Junshan nodded, but he had a hunch in his heart, thinking he would observe carefully over the next few days.
"Okay then. If you get hungry at night, just call me and I'll make you something to eat."
Yun Ningyan nodded; she felt like she could barely keep her eyes open again.
But she insisted on waiting for Huo Junshan to finish his meal before going to the bedroom: "I'll go wash up first."
I went into my room to wash up. I didn't wash my hair today, but I took a shower.
I lay down immediately after coming out.
She was already asleep when Huo Junshan came in.
He reached out and touched his wife's head, feeling that something had been off these past two days.
I couldn't eat any more rice, so I ate some grapes.
After he finished washing up, he lay down next to her and pulled her into his arms.
After the meeting, Meng Zhenzhen returned to the educated youth settlement triumphantly.
She herself did not expect that those who took her things would basically vote for her.
She felt her waist straighten up all at once.
Yu Lili and Zhang Hongmei looked at her with mixed feelings. So what if she became a teacher? Look how proud she is.
Meng Zhenzhen smiled smugly and said, "Oh! I really didn't expect to become this teacher. Thank you for your modesty!"
Her smug look infuriated Yu Lili.
But she had nothing to say; the other person earned it through their own abilities.
I don't know how many people I contacted, or how much money and things I gave away.
Yu Lili retorted, "So what if you're a teacher? You still have to give things away to get what you want."
Yang Laidi added sarcastically, "Yeah, her ex-fiancé was very rich. We can't compare. We don't have money to pave the way."
Meng Zhenzhen knew they were being sarcastic, but she couldn't argue with them right now.
I'll be a teacher in the future, and then I won't be on the same path as them anymore.
Lin Mengmeng was able to accept the result of not being selected, but Zhang Qiang was still worried that she wouldn't be able to handle it.
So as soon as I got back, I started comforting her: "Mengmeng, don't be sad. I think being a teacher is not good at all. Being with those naughty kids every day is so annoying!"
Lin Mengmeng nodded: "I'm fine. What would you like to eat? We'll go cook."
Zhang Qiang felt that she must be extremely heartbroken.
The tone of her voice has changed, and she still says she's not sad?
He continued to persuade her, "Mengmeng, do you think Meng Zhenzhen, with her character, can stay as a teacher for very long?"
"When she can't continue, the brigade leader will have to choose someone else, and that's when we'll have an opportunity."
Lin Mengmeng shook her head, signaling him to stop talking, as she wasn't sad at all.
I just feel that Meng Zhenzhen lost the election, while she only lost by a few votes.
I felt a tightness in my chest.
However, she wasn't heartbroken to the point of being devastated.
She spoke again: "Come on, let's go cook, I'm hungry."
Seeing that she showed no signs of wanting to cry, Zhang Qiang felt relieved and went outside to cook with her.
That night, many members of the Red Star Brigade did not go to bed early.
Some were discussing their children's schooling, while others were discussing tuition fees.
Some were wondering why they hadn't been chosen as teachers, while a former educated youth had become one.
