After collective discussion among the brigade cadres, Goudan's mother and the eldest daughter-in-law, Chunlai's wife, who was known as Bidazui, were finally selected as teachers in the nursery.
Goudan's family conditions are relatively difficult. His grandmother is a sickly person, and Goudan's mother was injured during childbirth, so she can't do heavy work.
The family depends entirely on Goudan Grandpa and Goudan's father for support. Both of them are hardworking people. Goudan Grandpa also manages the three cows in the team.
But because there is a medicine bottle at home, they are short of money every month. Although Goudan's mother can't do heavy work, she is hardworking and can still take care of the children.
Chunlai's daughter-in-law is generally recognized to have a good temper. In the past, because of her big mouth, she always caused trouble. The other three daughters-in-law looked down on her and there were often quarrels at home. Only Chunlai's daughter-in-law always respected this troublesome mother-in-law.
Such a good-tempered person is also very patient with children and does things carefully. Everyone can feel at ease when leaving the children in her hands.
No one can say no to choosing between the two of them.
"Teacher Chen is back from the commune? You brought back two big packages of things?" A villager saw Chen Qiangwei sitting in the tractor and greeted her enthusiastically.
"Yes, I just came back. They are all books and materials I used for school." Chen Qiangwei lied slightly.
It was a book indeed, but it was not the one she used in school. She had put all her junior high and high school textbooks into the space when she went to the countryside last time, but she had never taken them out. This time she could just replace them.
He shut his mouth and rolled his eyes at the woman who had gotten there first, then flattered her, "Teacher Chen is such a good teacher. Even as a teacher, you still remember to learn and improve yourself. We are all relieved to leave the children in your hands."
Chen Qiangwei smiled. Was this Sixth Auntie going too far? Every time she saw her, she turned into a compliment machine, praising her at every opportunity.
"Sixth Aunt, you're too kind. The teachers in our school are all good teachers. Teaching and educating is our responsibility, so we should do our best to teach every student."
He said cheerfully, "Scholars are different. They speak in an elegant and pleasant manner."
Chen Qiangwei: ...
The woman whose topic was snatched away rolled her eyes at Bi Dazui. It seemed that Bi Dazui was poisoned by "Teacher Chen". Whenever he saw Teacher Chen, he would speak well of him without asking for anything in return.
He shut up and rolled his eyes at the woman. What's the matter? Do you dislike her? Come and fight if you don't agree, you coward!
The tractor continued to rumble forward, leaving Shut the Big Mouth and the woman behind.
Chen Qiangwei rode a bicycle to the commune in the morning, but she didn't expect the package to be big and heavier than she had imagined. She could only carry it back sweating profusely and exhausted.
Halfway back, I happened to meet Gu Anxi who was returning from the commune to do some business, and luckily I got a ride.
When Wang Xiaomai heard Chen Qiangwei's thanks, she excitedly put down her pen and ran out to help with the work.
The two of them moved the things in with great effort. Gu Sannai and Wang Xiaomai believed Chen Qiangwei's statement that "these were the junior and senior high school textbooks and some study materials that she asked her uncle to send to her."
Chen Qiangwei clapped her hands as she looked at the two large packages. "Alright, I can handle the rest myself. Go read a book. How did you complete your mission today?"
I'm going to give you a test tomorrow. If you do well, we'll celebrate with meat. If you don't, you'll be on your own."
Wang Xiaomai, who hopes that Sister Weiwei can reduce her study tasks because of her hard work:...Since that dog Gu Anyang came into being, Sister Weiwei no longer loves her.
As soon as Chen Qiangwei became an elementary school teacher, she began tutoring Wang Xiaomai, hoping she could take the entrance exam next year. If Wang Xiaomai performed well, Chen Qiangwei planned to find a connection so she could study the junior high school material at home. Then, if she passed the exam, she could receive her junior high school diploma the year after.
The following year was exactly 1977.
In this way, Wang Xiaomai started his journey of working and studying.
She had attended elementary school in her hometown, and she had just graduated from elementary school one year before going to the countryside, so she had not forgotten a lot of things.
The content of grades one and two was not difficult for her. After studying for a month, she had almost learned all the content of grade one.
However, compared to studying, Wang Xiaomai is more interested in working and raising pigs, one can earn food, the other can eat meat.
Wang Xiaomai looked at Gu Sannai for help.
"Oh, the school is running low on firewood. I have to tell Aiguo to get more firewood ready, otherwise the kids will have to eat cold rice tomorrow."
After saying that, the little old lady walked out with her hands behind her back.
Wang Xiaomai:......
Forget it, for tomorrow's meat, she fought hard.
Wang Xiaomai sat down again to read and do exercises miserably.
Chen Qiangwei was tidying up things in the room.
There were two packages, one large and one small, the smaller one was only half the size of the larger one. The large package was sent by Haishi's second uncle, and it contained two sets of "Self-Study Series of Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry", each set containing 17 books, so it looked quite impressive.
The small package was sent by her third uncle in Fuzhou City. It looked like it was something like a textbook, but she was not sure what kind of textbook it was.
Last month she wrote to her second uncle, asking him to help find this set of materials. This set of "Self-study Series of Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry" was published by Haishi People's Publishing House in 1963, and should be relatively easy to find in Haishi.
She also mentioned in the letter the view she had expressed to Gu Anyang that "education is the foundation of development, and talents are the guarantee of a country's prosperity." With her uncle's wisdom, he must know what she wanted to express.
In addition, she also wrote a letter to her cousin Jiang Wenwen, expressing the same point of view, but adding that she asked her second uncle to help find this set of books. As for whether her cousin Wenwen could understand her meaning, it depended on fate.
She couldn't just say directly that the college entrance examination would be resumed in three years. Before the letter reached Jiang Wenwen, Chen Qiangwei might be secretly taken away by the relevant authorities and locked up in a small dark room.
Chen Qiangwei put the two sets of information away, then took out her original junior high and high school textbooks from the space and put them together before opening the small package.
Oh wow! This is also a set of "Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry Self-study Series". Could it be that my third uncle and second uncle are in sync?
After reading the letter from my third uncle, I found out that when my second uncle was talking to my third uncle on the phone, he boasted about Chen Qiangwei asking him to help keep an eye out for this set of information.
The third uncle was not convinced and found a set for her. He also said in the letter that Qiangwei was partial and only thought of the second uncle when something happened, but not him, the third uncle.
Reading between the lines, Chen Qiangwei could imagine her third uncle scolding her in a low voice for being heartless while trying his best to help her find information.
Chen Qiangwei closed the letter with emotion and put the information into the space.
Gu Sannai, who had gone to look for Gu Aiguo under the pretext of visiting him, came back with a little tail.
"Girl Weiwei, Xiaowu is here to see you."
