Chapter 63: There is nothing to be proud of except the household registration book
The principal was confused. His initial thought was that Chen Jintao used to be a chef in a state-owned restaurant, so his cooking skills must be good. He wanted to improve the food for everyone. Although the ingredients were limited, who wouldn't want something more delicious?
Who could have thought that in just two or three days, it would cause such a big reaction? Seeing more and more children coming to the school to eat, the principal was also very happy.
It’s not that they really want to make money from parents, but only with money can they renovate their school or build a library.
He had visited schools in the capital before and saw that they all had libraries. He had that idea at the time. If... if most of the children could really eat in the cafeteria, he might be able to build a library after saving up for two years.
Thinking of this, the principal immediately made a decision, "In this case, I will discuss it with Teacher Shen. However, I am not sure whether Teacher Shen will agree, but I will try my best. Children are the flowers of the motherland, and we teachers definitely hope that children can eat better and grow stronger!"
Otherwise, how can you say he is the principal? People have a lot of official language when they speak.
The parents were happy to hear this. They didn’t quite understand the principles the principal said, but they knew they were good words.
"Then I'll trouble you, Principal!"
In fact, everyone’s living conditions are better now. Although the meals in the cafeteria are charged, it is more cost-effective than eating at home. Although eating at home will save some money, it will not be as good as eating at school!
You know, the school supplies meat three times a month! It's more expensive, but there's a reason for it.
Faced with the principal's request, Chen Jintao didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Teacher Shen, don't hesitate. Just agree to it. I'll calculate it based on the salary I gave you before. This way, I'll add another 20 yuan to your monthly salary. That means you can get 50 yuan just for cooking. What do you think?"
Chen Jintao: ...I really want to say it’s not that good.
But Chen Jintao still didn't say anything, just smiled awkwardly, "Isn't this not good, a little too eye-catching?"
"What's wrong with that? You're working with your own hands. You deserve it. Besides, these teachers probably wish you could cook every day."
Hearing this, a group of teachers began to nod their heads frantically. Today's lunch was really something that made them unforgettable.
Xiao Hongying looked at Shen Jintao with burning eyes, fearing that she would refuse.
Chen Jintao had no choice. Everyone was looking at her with expectant eyes, and she felt a little guilty. If she didn't agree, wouldn't she hurt a lot of people's feelings?
"In that case, I agree, Principal. You can't go back on your word about the salary you promised me!"
The principal was immediately delighted. "I will keep my word. If our school builds a library, I will give you credit for the achievement!"
Looking at the principal's happy back, the teachers' offices suddenly became lively.
"Jintao, you're awesome! I told you that you would definitely get a raise!" Xiao Hongying was very excited, even more excited than the person who was getting the raise.
"But I will have a lot of classes in the future, and this job is so tiring!" Shen Jintao complained with a smile.
"You're really taking advantage of me!"
It’s Liu Wanzhi again.
She had tried her best to control herself, but she couldn't. She really couldn't understand how a country woman could be so powerful. When she calculated it this way, Chen Jintao's salary was higher than her allowance when she was in the art troupe. She really couldn't balance it at all.
"Liu Wanzhi, why do you like to make trouble so much? Is it so difficult to admit that others are excellent?" Xiao Hongying attacked bravely this time. Even though the other party was the daughter of the brigade commander, it was really too much this time and twice.
"What's your business?" Liu Wanzhi rolled her eyes.
Xiao Hongying was not to be outdone. "I'm the messenger of justice, and I just can't stand you being like this. At the beginning, we didn't know Jin Tao, and you said some misleading words to us. Don't think we are all fools. Aren't you just trying to pull everyone together to isolate Jin Tao? Didn't expect it? Jin Tao is so outstanding, and she has such a natural personality charm, which is something you can't learn!"
Liu Wanzhi was so angry that her eyes turned red, but she didn't say anything. In fact, she also felt that Chen Jintao was indeed different from ordinary rural women, but she just couldn't accept it. Even if she was better than ordinary rural women, it couldn't change the fact that she was a mud-legged peasant.
Seeing Xiao Hongying helping him out, Chen Jintao smiled at her. The Yin-Yang Master came online again, "Hongying, you don't need to talk too much with such people. Some people can only show their household registration books."
Liu Wanzhi: …
Chen Jintao's words were like a critical hit. Others wanted to laugh but felt it was not a good idea. Liu Wanzhi wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl into. She didn't know how to refute Chen Jintao's words.
The news that Chen Jintao was still cooking in the school cafeteria had spread. When the military wives even realized that she received an extra fifty yuan a month in addition to her teacher's salary, they were really envious and jealous.
On the weekend, the three naughty kids in the family went out to play with their friends. Qian Mingfang and Huang Xiuru each held a small dustpan filled with the children's worn clothes.
"I don't know what's wrong with these naughty guys. Their clothes get torn every other day and I can't even sew them up." Qian Mingfang muttered.
"What's the big deal? My socks are often torn to the point where they can't be mended. I use other cloth to mend them, but he's not happy and thinks they don't look good." Huang Xiuru also complained.
Chen Jintao joked, "Hearing what you said, I don't dare to have children anymore."
As soon as she said this, Qian Mingfang and Huang Xiuru suddenly looked at her, "Speaking of which, sister, you and Deputy Head Huo have been married for a while, don't you plan to have a child? Although the child will be a little naughty when he grows up, it's really different to have a child at home."
Huang Xiuru said, "I think having children makes the home more lively."
"You're even more angry, right?" Qian Mingfang laughed. "But Xiaoshen and Xiaohuo are both capable people who make a lot of money. They can really have a baby."
After Chen Jintao joined the army, she actually did not take any contraceptive measures. She touched her belly and said, "I don't know if I am pregnant or not. If I am, I will take it. If not, there is no need to worry. It depends on fate."
"Speaking of which, sister, you are really amazing. It's hard for us to find a job, but you can get two salaries in one shift!" Huang Xiuru was very envious.
