On the first day of class, Zhao Qinglan got up early in the morning to get dressed and comb her hair.
After she finished getting ready and looked in the mirror, she smiled with satisfaction.
Outside, Mrs. Sun had already prepared breakfast. After the family ate, Zhao Qinglan quickly fed her youngest son again before heading to school with her eldest child, Xiaoduo.
At home, it was Mrs. Sun who took care of the third and second children.
However, Erwa didn't need much attention. With him around, Sun Shi found it much easier to take care of Sanwa.
Although she was not related to Da Wa and Er Wa by blood, after spending a lot of time with them, Sun Shi genuinely liked the two children and treated them as her own grandchildren.
Similarly, Da Wa and Er Wa also liked Sun Shi and their two aunts very much.
Upon arriving at the school, Zhao Qinglan went to the office first.
Principal Wei didn't need to handle the formalities. To be honest, the other teachers in the office had mixed feelings about Zhao Qinglan, their new colleague.
This isn't a job that just anyone can be hired as a teacher. They all consider themselves "cultured people," and being a teacher is something to be proud of.
Among one's own relatives or friends, they are among the most educated.
But now, suddenly someone who has never been to school has become a teacher, so it seems that their pride doesn't matter anymore.
But if you're going to say you look down on Zhao Qinglan, she's someone who genuinely got into university on her own merit.
Several of their teachers also registered for the college entrance examination, but of all the teachers in the school who took the exam, only Wei Hong was admitted.
If we calculate it that way, Zhao Qinglan is far superior to them.
Moreover, they had vaguely heard that the reason Wei Hong started reviewing her books so early was because Zhao Qinglan had persuaded her to.
If they had had a "Zhao Qinglan" by their side back then, would they be the ones getting into university now?
Having experienced many hardships in the future, Zhao Qinglan was mentally prepared for her new career and did not expect it to be smooth sailing.
However, when she finished all the formalities and arrived at the office, her colleagues were generally quite friendly to her.
Some even expressed a sense of closeness.
Those who expressed their closeness were all very clear-headed.
Zhao Qinglan's husband is a deputy regimental commander. He is still so young. As long as he doesn't make any mistakes, he will definitely not stop at the regimental level. He has a wealthy family background.
Zhao Qinglan is a capable person, and it's never a bad thing to befriend her; just look at Wei Hong.
With no one making things difficult or causing trouble, Zhao Qinglan felt much more relaxed.
On her first day at work, she didn't officially teach any classes. Instead, she sat in on other teachers' classes to get used to the environment.
After all, even if she taught her eldest child and the others at home, she was only dealing with her own three children.
The situation is quite different when you come to school.
Since she had decided to become a teacher, Zhao Qinglan wanted to do the job well, so she listened very attentively to classes and even took the initiative to learn from her colleagues' lesson plans.
With her mother at home, Zhao Qinglan's life was indeed much easier; at least she didn't have to worry about cooking anymore.
She came back at noon with her eldest child, Xiaoduo, and quickly fed the children.
I wanted to help my mother clean up after lunch, but I was told to go take a nap.
In Sun's view, her daughter's work was the most important thing; it was just a few dishes, and she could handle that.
Zhao Qinglan didn't argue; she rested as her mother told her to.
However, when she patted her youngest son to sleep, she smiled and remarked that it's so good to have a mother.
Time flies when you're busy, and Zhao Qinglan hadn't even realized it before her first day at work was over.
Li Huai didn't come home at noon, but when he got home in the evening, he asked about his wife's first day back at work.
"Don't worry, everyone is very nice to me. I'm not having formal classes today; I'm just going to various classrooms to listen to lectures and learn."
"How long will it take to learn?"
"If all goes well, classes should officially start next week."
"Don't keep anything to yourself, just say it."
"I know, am I the kind of person who swallows insults?" Having been given a second chance at life, she was determined not to wrong herself.
Zhao Qinglan's job as a teacher at the military primary school has made many unemployed military wives extremely envious.
However, even if they envied them, they couldn't say anything about it.
After all, they got into a teacher's college, and the others didn't have that ability, so they could only feel envious.
A few days after Zhao Qinglan started working, she received a letter from Wei Hong in Beijing.
In her letter, Wei Hong said that she was fine and had arrived at school safely. The school was giving them meal tickets and subsidies, and everyone was very enthusiastic about studying. She liked the school atmosphere very much and would definitely study hard to serve the country in the future.
After seeing Zhao Qinglan, I felt relieved.
As long as Wei Hong graduates smoothly, her future prospects will definitely be bright.
The college graduates from the "Old Three Classes" after the resumption of the college entrance examination were generally assigned to good companies after graduation because of the country's shortage of talent.
Several years later, the leaders of various government departments and state-owned enterprises were almost all students from the "Old Three Classes" (referring to students who graduated from high school, graduating in 1966, and 1968).
After reading the letter, she took out some stationery and began writing a reply to Wei Hong.
The letter mentioned that she was teaching at the military primary school, and also mentioned some funny stories about the three children and things in the family compound of the regiment.
Although this kind of communication is generally inconvenient, Zhao Qinglan quite likes the feeling of communicating through words flowing from the tip of a pen.
Because contact is not easy, some feelings are all the more genuine and precious.
Unlike later generations, where technology has developed rapidly and communication is very convenient, the relationships between people seem to have become much weaker.
After diligently listening to other teachers' classes for a week, Zhao Qinglan became increasingly confident in her teaching abilities.
