Chapter 220 Lottery (Page 1/2)
Lin Man stopped worrying about the Teacher's Day benefit not being realized. October 10th soon arrived and the school paid the teachers their salary for the previous month.
Lin Man looked at the thirty-one yuan in her hand and felt that this money was not easy to earn. She, as a class teacher, worked so hard to only get an extra two yuan in subsidy.
If you want a salary increase, you probably have to become a regular employee.
A teacher in the eighth grade asked the office leader, "Didn't they say that every six months the school will be given a bicycle ticket?"
The principal said, "The bicycle tickets have indeed arrived, but this time we have decided to give them to outstanding teachers. We will be evaluating outstanding teachers next month."
The teacher surnamed Wang immediately objected, saying, "No matter how we choose this outstanding teacher award, it's unfair. I think we should just stick to the lottery method we used in the first half of the year. Whoever gets the award gets it."
Lin Man thought to herself: With so many people participating in the selection, even if they really decide by drawing lots, I probably won’t have much chance of being selected!
As for whether one can be rated as an excellent teacher, it naturally depends on the students' performance.
As long as the Chinese language scores of the two classes she teaches can rank first in the grade in this midterm exam, she may still have a glimmer of hope in competing for the title of outstanding teacher.
She has taken great pains to improve the academic performance of the children in her class.
She adopts a teaching method tailored to each student's characteristics and abilities, giving full affirmation to students who need encouragement and patient guidance to students who need tutoring.
Not only that, in order to better help students grasp the key points of knowledge, she also personally organized the key points and difficult points in the book into detailed notes, and asked them to recite them carefully and remember them in their hearts.
She was not bragging. In two consecutive quizzes, their class ranked first in Chinese, Class 3 ranked third, and Class 1 ranked second.
As long as she can give more tutoring to the students in Class 2 and help their grades surpass those of Class 1, she will have a chance of being named an outstanding teacher, and the bicycle ticket will be hers.
Lin Man thought about it and a smile appeared on her face. Luo Lijuan, the head teacher of Class 1, who was sitting next to her, frowned and looked at Lin Man and said:
"Teacher Lin, the selection of outstanding teachers should be more convenient. It doesn't have to be based on student performance. Qualifications are also important."
When Lin Man heard her words, her heart skipped a beat. Could it be that she, a new teacher, was not qualified to participate in the selection?
"Teacher Luo, have you ever won an Outstanding Teacher award before?"
Luo Lijuan snorted coldly, "Only one is selected in one semester. How can it be so easy to be selected?"
Lin Man smiled and said nothing. The other teachers knew that they were definitely not qualified for the Excellent Teacher Award and that the chances of winning by drawing lots would be better, so they all stepped forward to advise:
"Principal, I think we should just draw lots. Whoever draws the lot gets it. That's fair. Excellent teachers are excellent teachers. We can evaluate them again at the end of the year."
"Yeah, yeah! Don't we have to wait until the final exams to select the outstanding teachers each semester? Why are we starting the selection now?"
"Principal, why not draw the lots today? The accountant has them anyway."
Principal Tang had originally selected the outstanding teacher for this semester and was planning to give the bicycle ticket to that teacher as a reward, but it seems that this is not going to work.
"Alright, let's draw lots if you want. We'll evaluate outstanding teachers at the end of the semester."
Lin Man didn't expect that more people would object, and she actually changed her mind with a smile. With so many people drawing, was there really any hope for her to win?
If she doesn't win, she might as well spend a few dozen dollars to buy the ticket from someone else.
Lin Man turned around and said to Gao Pengfei, who was sitting behind her, "Teacher Gao, you guys live on campus. If you win a bicycle ticket later, can you return it to me?"
After thinking for a moment, Gao Pengfei felt that his wife and children lived in the school, so there was really no need to buy a bicycle at the moment. If he could really win a bicycle ticket, he could consider returning it to Teacher Lin.
"Okay, if I'm lucky enough to win it, I'll naturally pass it on to you."

Upon hearing this, Luo Lijuan sneered, "You're clearly speculating on bills!"
Lin Man couldn't help but frown, muttering to herself, why is Luo Lijuan so annoying?
Isn't it just that Class 2's Chinese scores are slightly better than Class 1's? Is it really necessary to be so petty? How can transferring unused bicycle tickets to friends be considered reselling? They never intended to profit from it.
Lin Man ignored her, and Gao Pengfei also ignored her. This made Luo Lijuan very angry, and she kept whining.
The principal suddenly came over with a handful of matches, holding the sticks tightly. He said, "I've marked a special match here. Whoever draws it will get the bicycle ticket. Whoever draws it first!"
Luo Lijuan was worried that she would have no chance to play if she was drawn later, so she rushed forward without thinking, "Principal, they don't dare to draw, so I'll go first and take the lead."
Tang Guomin smiled and nodded, "Go ahead!"
Luo Lijuan pointed at the match heads and pointed at them for a long time before she took out one. When she took it out, she found that there was no mark on it.
Tang Guomin asked: "Teacher Luo, is there any mark on it?"
Luo Lijuan shook her head and put the match back on the accountant's desk. "Principal, this match in my hand has no mark. Please give this ticket to someone else who needs it!"
Lin Man sneered. The lottery was all about luck. If you were unlucky, you were unlucky. She said she would give the prize to other comrades in need. If she really gave it to them, she would say she would quit the lottery.
Tang Guomin asked again: "Who will come next?"
The head teacher of Class 1, Grade 9, stepped forward and said, "Let me try my luck."
Tang Guomin asked him to draw, but he didn't win. Then seven or eight people came up to draw.
Seeing that they had almost finished drawing, Gao Pengfei took the initiative to walk over and draw some.
After he finished drawing, he took a closer look, a smile on his face, then carefully took the matchstick to Lin Man and said in a low voice: "Teacher Lin, can you see if I drew it?"
Lin Man wondered to herself, was he really the one who picked her? She couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
At this time, Tang Guomin didn't care whether Gao Pengfei won the prize or not. He continued to arrange for the next person to draw the prize according to the plan.
Gao Pengfei took the opportunity to whisper to Lin Man, "I really won! When it's your turn later, we'll exchange the matchsticks. You only need to give me 80 yuan. Remember, don't let Teacher Luo find out."
A bicycle ticket would cost one or two hundred yuan on the black market, which is almost the same price as the bicycle. Gao Pengfei was willing to return the bicycle ticket to her for eighty yuan, just for the sake of his friendship.
Lin Man understood what Gao Pengfei meant and was a little hesitant, worried that Luo Lijuan would come and cause trouble.
Lin Man thought for a moment, then lowered her voice and said, "I'm not going to smoke. You get the ticket first. We can discuss the refund or exchange when we get back to the dormitory."
"Teacher Lin, Teacher Gao, what are you talking about? Aren't you going up to smoke?"
Lin Man looked at the talkative Luo Lijuan coldly, "Teacher Luo, Teacher Gao has already won, how can we still have a chance?"
Tang Guomin came over and said, "Teacher Gao, you really won. Let me see."
Gao Pengfei glanced at Lin Man, then glanced at Luo Lijuan, and took the initiative to hand over the matchstick he had drawn.
Tang Guomin looked at the small red flower on the match handle. It was indeed a special mark he made.
He patted Gao Pengfei on the shoulder and said, "Well done, you are really lucky!"
Luo Lijuan rolled her eyes at Lin Man and thought to herself, this woman is such a jinx. She told Gao Pengfei that she would return the ticket to her if he won, and Gao Pengfei actually won.
Stay away from her in the future, she is a jinx and dare not provoke her.
