Chapter 374: Being a Literacy Class Teacher
She casually shoved the small electric rice cooker she had just taken out under the table and called out, "Who is it?"
Hearing her voice, the man smiled and said, "Xiaoxiao, it's me. You are home."
Su Xiaoxiao took a moment to react and recognized the voice as that of Zhao Ruimei, the village women's director.
She hurriedly opened the door: "Sister Zhao, my mother hasn't come back yet, do you need her for something?"
"No, I came to see you."
Sister Zhao is a middle-aged woman in her early thirties with a round face and big double eyelids. She always smiles when she speaks and looks easy to get along with.
"Looking for me?"
Su Xiaoxiao was a little puzzled?
What could Sister Zhao want from her?
Thinking about it, she asked directly: "Sister Zhao, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Zhao Ruimei didn't hold back and got straight to the point: "Xiaoxiao, here's the thing. The higher-ups have issued a policy requiring our brigade to open a literacy class. I was thinking of asking if you'd be willing to teach it. The job is easy. All you have to do is spend an hour after get off work teaching everyone a few words. Twice a week is enough."
Does this mean that she works hard every day and then has to continue working when she comes home?
And I guess there is still no salary.
Sure enough, the next second, Zhao Ruimei smiled and said, "This is a huge honor. You are one of the few high school students in our village. The village leaders gave you this position because they value your ability. When the commune's commendation meeting comes, they will also present you with a certificate. Look, what an honor."
Su Xiaoxiao: “…”
The way she painted this pie in the sky was even more skillful than the boss of her previous company.
At that time, his boss even gave him a little salary as a token of appreciation, but this was nothing, he just relied on his mouth to do the work.
It doesn't matter if she doesn't want this honor. She might as well take a good rest instead of that time.
"Sister Zhang, I'm really sorry. I wasn't a good student when I was in school, so I won't mislead other students. You should find someone else."
Zhao Ruimei didn't expect her to refuse outright, and her face immediately became a little embarrassed: "Xiaoxiao, what a great opportunity! I tell you, there are many people who want to be this teacher. It's only because I have a good relationship with your mother that I want to leave this position to you."
"Thank you, Sister Zhao. I'm really not capable enough. Besides, I don't have the time at work every day."
She refused with good reasons, and seeing that she couldn't persuade her, Zhao Ruimei had to leave.
"Xiaoxiao, if you ever think it through, come find me anytime."
Su Xiaoxiao thought to herself, it's impossible to figure it out. She won't be working for nothing in her life. Wouldn't it be nice to make some extra money with that time?
As soon as Zhao Ruimei left, Liu Cuilan and the others came back. Seeing Zhao Ruimei leaving from a distance, they asked her, "Third brother, what did Director Zhao come for just now?"
Su Xiaoxiao then told what had just happened.
People in this era generally have a strong sense of collective honor, and I thought Liu Cuilan would be the same. Unexpectedly, after listening to her story, Liu Cuilan nodded in agreement: "That's right, anyone who does something that has no benefit is a fool."
The mother and daughter agreed and the matter was quickly put to rest.
The next day, Su Xiaoxiao went to work.
As soon as I entered the door, I ran into Zhang Dongmei.
When Zhang Dongmei saw her, she raised her chin and looked very proud.
Su Xiaoxiao was too lazy to pay attention and turned to leave, but as soon as she raised her foot, Zhang Dongmei blocked her way.
"Su Xiaoxiao, have you heard about the literacy class held in our village?"
Not only did I hear about it, I was almost forced to become a literacy class teacher.
Su Xiaoxiao answered in her heart, but when she looked at Zhang Dongmei, she only said lightly: "Comrade Zhang Dongmei, please move aside, you are blocking my way."
Zhang Dongmei seemed not to hear and continued, "Director Zhao came to me yesterday and asked me to teach in our village's literacy class. Why didn't she ask you? Is it because your grades are so bad?"
Su Xiaoxiao: “…”
It turns out that Zhang Dongmei is the one who works for nothing without getting paid.
I really overestimated her IQ before.
As expected, the envious and jealous eyes did not appear. Instead, she found that Su Xiaoxiao looked at her as if with sympathy.
"What do you mean?"
Zhang Dongmei was angry.
"It's nothing special. I just think you're amazing. You must work hard for the collective honor of our village."
Su Xiaoxiao patted Zhang Dongmei's shoulder earnestly, then turned and left.
Zhang Dongmei didn't feel any pleasure in showing off because of her calm appearance.
She always felt that what Su Xiaoxiao said just now was not a compliment, but rather a hint at her.
Maybe it's jealousy, jealous that she is better.
Yes, that must be it.
Su Xiaoxiao didn't know what Zhang Dongmei thought her actions meant. When she saw Zhang Yulan from afar, she hurriedly took a few quick steps to catch up with her.
"Sister Zhang, what happened yesterday? Did the old lady and the others give you any more trouble?"
Zhang Yulan smiled when she saw her. "No, they went to Zhang Xiaofang to discuss work matters without my knowledge yesterday. I think they'll start fighting in the next couple of days."
Zhang Xiaofang is Zhang Defa's younger sister. She has never been very nice to Zhang Yulan since she got married.
No matter how good Zhang Yulan treated her, she always looked down on her as her sister-in-law.
"Xiaoxiao, about Zhang Xiaofang's work..."
Zhang Yulan was a little worried about how to arrange a job for Zhang Xiaofang when the time comes, as there was no shortage of people at the counter.
"Sister Zhang, don't worry. I've already thought about it. Our department store is still short of a temporary cleaner, right? Let her come over when the time comes."
"Will this work? Wouldn't it be exposed on the first day? What if they don't agree to a divorce then?"
Zhang Yulan was still a little worried.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of it. I guarantee they'll happily agree."
Su Xiaoxiao patted her chest and guaranteed that this was a simple matter. As long as Zhang Xiaofang thought that sweeping the floor was only a temporary job, she would be given a better position.
Isn't it just empty promises? She's an expert at this.
Today is Su Xiaoxiao's first day as a sales manager.
A new official has three things to do when he takes office. As for the first thing, her eyes fell on Zhang Dongmei who was walking towards her happily.
Zhang Dongmei took a day off yesterday just like her, and didn't know that Su Xiaoxiao had become the sales manager, otherwise she wouldn't have shown off in front of her just now.
Zhang Dongmei came over humming a little tune. Seeing that it was almost time to go to work, but that damn girl Su Xiaoxiao was not working properly and was wandering around in the lobby with her hands behind her back, she immediately had an idea.
Glancing at Chen Meilan walking over not far away, she deliberately raised her voice: "Hey, Comrade Su, it's already time to go to work, why don't you hurry to the grocery counter?"
As the voice fell, the eyes of the people around them all fell on the two of them with surprised expressions.
However, Zhang Dongmei didn't notice anyone's strange behavior. She just looked at Chen Meilan who was getting closer and closer, and smiled smugly: "Su Xiaoxiao, you're dead!"
