However, the nearly three months of living in the big city broadened Chen Weimin's mind considerably, and he became much more composed and calm when facing those around him.
Now he can face anyone with equanimity.
On the evening of their arrival home, Chen Shiliang, along with Chen Weiguo and Chen Weimin, carrying a lot of things, came to the Sheng family to thank Sheng Xiping.
"Xiping, thank you so much. If you hadn't reminded Minko to get a prosthetic leg, we really wouldn't have thought of this."
Look, Minzi has a prosthetic leg now, so he looks just like a normal person, you can't tell anything about him.
Yesterday, when we went to the bureau to get the leader's signature for expense reimbursement, the leader said that they would hold a meeting to discuss giving Minzi a temporary worker position first.
Chen Shiliang looked embarrassed. When Sheng Xiping brought up this matter before, he disagreed and even took Chen Weimin to the provincial capital to look for it, but to no avail.
Unexpectedly, right after I got my prosthetic leg fitted, the bureau said they were going to give me a temporary worker position.
With this temporary worker position, there's a great chance of getting a permanent position later.
"Uncle, I've said it many times, there's no need to be so formal. Weiguo, Minzi, and I grew up together. It's a family matter, and I'll definitely help as much as I can."
The main reason is that once Minako gets a prosthetic leg, she looks better, and the police station will definitely take that into consideration.
Zhou Mingyuan had mentioned the proposal for temporary workers before, but it was not approved in a meeting of the bureau.
This time, it was Director Yang who brought it up personally, so it's highly likely to succeed.
"I've always said that gold will always shine. Minzi is a talented person, but in the past, I was only limited by his appearance."
Now that he's all tidied up, what a handsome young man he is! With a better image, a job, and a wife in a couple of years, he can settle down and live a good life. Isn't that great?
Sheng Xiping looked at Chen Weimin and found him more and more pleasing to the eye, and more and more gratified.
Chen Weimin has been hopping around for over ten years. For ease of movement, he either makes the right leg of his pants shorter or just ties the right leg of his regular pants.
Now, he's finally wearing pants with normal legs. If you don't know him well, you wouldn't be able to tell at first glance that he's disabled.
Chen Weimin blushed and stammered after Sheng Xiping's words, "Brother, you're making fun of me again. Who would want to be with me if I'm like this?"
He's a young man in his early twenties, what doesn't he understand? How could he not be thinking about it?
But Chen Weimin knew his own situation and never made any unrealistic hopes.
He thought he would endure a few years, wait for a job to come through, and if fate allowed, find a woman who also had a physical disability, or a divorced woman with children.
As long as you don't mind him, you can live together.
"What are you talking about? What's wrong with you compared to others?"
In terms of talent and knowledge, how many young people in our forest farm can match you? In terms of character and appearance, you are second to none.
Besides, you're so skillful, you can do all the housework, you can handle anything, so why can't you find a wife?
"Who knows, you might marry a beautiful and virtuous wife someday." Sheng Xiping laughed, encouraging Chen Weimin.
The change in Chen Weimin's image made him more confident, and the day after he returned home, he went to teach at school.
Just then, the school was about to finish the semester and needed to print exam papers.
In those days, exam papers were all engraved and printed by each school using their own steel plates.
Chen Weimin has beautiful handwriting. When he was studying at Shuguang Middle School, he learned how to carve steel plates from his teacher.
He taught music and art, and in his spare time he would help with engraving steel plates and printing exam papers.
Everyone who sees the steel plate printing produced by Chen Weimin praises it, saying that it is the best steel plate lettering produced by Qianchuan Forest Farm in recent years.
Coincidentally, the spouse of one of the school's teachers is Zhao Xiangyang, the chairman of the forest farm's labor union.
After hearing what his wife said, Zhao Xiangyang went to the school to get a copy of the test paper and was so impressed with it that he couldn't put it down.
"Old Wang, I need to talk to you about something. Chen Weimin, the substitute teacher at your school, could you lend him to our union for a little help with writing some documents or something?"
Zhao Xiangyang went directly to Principal Wang Junsheng to discuss it with him.
Upon hearing this, Wang Junsheng's eyes widened. "What did you say? Why should you borrow our school's teachers?"
Weimin is a teacher at our school. Whether he's a substitute teacher or not, he's still a teacher.
"He's a really good teacher; I was even planning to have him as my homeroom teacher in the fall. What's the meaning of you borrowing him?"
"Look at you, why are you so stingy?"
Your school will be out for holidays in a few days. He's just sitting at home doing nothing anyway, why doesn't he go and help out at the union?
"Let's wait until school starts, then we can have him come back to teach." Zhao Xiangyang wasn't annoyed and just chatted with Wang Junsheng with a smile.
"Listen to what you're saying. Who was it that said Weimin wasn't a worker and couldn't join the union? Oh, now you're asking to borrow him? No way."
Wang Junsheng wasn't going to fall for it. Borrow people? He was more afraid it was like Liu Bei borrowing Jingzhou and never returning it.
He's not stupid; he finally found a good teacher, and he absolutely can't let him go.
"Hey, don't just talk about me. When Secretary Wang said he wanted to assign Weimin to the school as a substitute teacher, you disagreed too."
Anyone can bring up old stories, and Zhao Xiangyang also mentioned the time when Wang Junsheng refused to take Chen Weimin.
These two were both in their forties, but they were arguing like children over someone, revealing each other's secrets. It was quite a funny scene.
After thinking about it for a moment, they both couldn't help but laugh.
"Alright, I'll discuss it with Weimin and see what he thinks. If he's willing, he can help out at the union for a while."
