The brigade office was in chaos at this time.
The educated youth were furious. "Captain, why did the village choose these people to be teachers instead of us?"
"Yes, most of us have graduated from high school, and at worst, we have graduated from junior high school. But the people you picked out have only graduated from junior high school at best, and one even only finished elementary school. How can such people teach students? Isn't this misleading the students?"
When the villagers heard this, they also frowned and shouted, "Yes, how can you teach in elementary school after graduating from elementary school? Isn't this cheating the children? We don't agree!"
"We disagree. Others at least graduated from junior high school, so what's the point of graduating from elementary school?"
Everyone shouted that they disagreed. The villagers didn't know the inside story. In their hearts, they also felt that the educated youth were more educated, and secretly still hoped that they would teach their own children. They could barely accept the person chosen by the team leader, but they would not accept the one who graduated from elementary school. He was too far behind.
The man who was said to have graduated from elementary school was called Liu Cheng. He was only eighteen or nineteen years old now and was still a grown man.
He is the only household in the village. Both his parents are gone, and he is the only one at home. When he was young, he had an aunt to take care of him, so he only finished elementary school. Later, his aunt got married and left, leaving behind some money, but it was only enough for him to live on. He could not continue his studies, so he only finished elementary school.
Liu Cheng lowered his head. To be honest, even he himself couldn't figure out why the captain chose him. He couldn't believe it. Was it because he felt sorry for him? Because he was a single household?
Hearing the questioning voices around him, he didn't even dare to look up.
Qin Youfu looked at the noisy crowd and stood up on a chair in a hurry. He pressed his hands down and shouted, "Everyone, be quiet and listen to me!"
Qin Youfu's prestige in the village over the years made everyone respect him, and things soon quieted down.
Qin Youfu said in a deep voice: "I know everyone has a lot of questions about the training class. I will answer your questions slowly."
"Captain, can you please tell me why Liu Cheng can attend this training class but I can't?" The person who spoke was also a villager who had finished elementary school. "Well, I also finished elementary school, so why can't I join?"
On the way here just now, he heard those whose names were called say that becoming a teacher in the school can earn you about ten yuan a month. Who wouldn't want to go for such a good thing?
For other people who graduated from middle school or high school, he had no say, but didn't Liu Cheng, like him, only finish elementary school? He couldn't accept this. Why should Liu Cheng go?
Qin Youfu glanced at him, then glanced at Liu Cheng, who was lowering his head in the crowd, and said loudly, "Are you asking why I chose Liu Cheng instead of you when you both graduated from elementary school?"
"right!"
"That's because the two of you graduated from elementary school with completely different levels of achievement. I don't even know you. Your family forced you to finish elementary school, so I'm embarrassed to speak for you. Look at Liu Cheng. Although he only finished elementary school, he was admitted to the town's middle school and even ranked first in our village."
"He's smart, so of course I'll choose him over you."
Qin Youfu left the person who was speaking speechless, and he had to shut up in disappointment.
"It seems like this. Back then, Liu Cheng had excellent grades. When he didn't go to school, the teachers from the town's middle school came to our village specifically to look for him. They wanted him to go back and even offered to waive his tuition, but he refused."
"Yes, yes, yes. Back then, Mr. Li also praised that kid for his intelligence. He even said it was a shame for him not to go to school."
Hearing everyone's change of tone, Liu Cheng slowly raised his head, and a light flashed in his usually dark eyes. Is there still anyone who believes in him?
Qin Youfu had a smile in his eyes. When he went door to door looking for the candidate, he found that everyone else was eager to agree, but this kid was dumbfounded when he heard it, and he stammered for a long time without giving a definite answer.
Qin Youfu knew that he lacked confidence, so he specifically mentioned his past in front of so many people.
Hearing that everyone was convinced with just a few words, the educated youth became even more anxious.
