Dong Xiuping paused, sighed, and turned around. She thought that she would die sooner or later, and she would have to tell Wen Wan about this sooner or later.
She looked at Wen Wan and said with a guilty look on her face: "I'm sorry, Wan Wan, the result from the school is that you didn't pass..."
really.
Wen Wan's guess was confirmed. Although she was disappointed, she could accept it in the end.
She smiled and comforted Dong Xiuping in return.
"It's okay, Sister Xiuping. Since the school said I didn't pass, it must be because I still have some shortcomings. It's none of your business. You don't have to apologize to me. I haven't even thanked you for giving me this opportunity yet."
The more Wen Wan said this, the more uncomfortable Dong Xiuping felt.
Because she knew that the reason Wen Wan failed to become a substitute teacher was not because her teaching quality was not up to standard, but because someone was making trouble behind the scenes!
Thinking of this, Dong Xiuping became indignant.
"Wanwan, you don't have to be upset about this. Your abilities are there. The leaders and teachers were all very pleased with you back then. It's just that some people took advantage of their status and deliberately disrupted the rules!"
Wen Wan was stunned and couldn't help but think of Lu Li who had deliberately made things difficult for her that day, and frowned.
"Is that Mr. Lu?"
She still remembered that Teacher Lu’s brother or something was the principal.
Dong Xiuping nodded with a grim expression.
"It should be her."
Although it was the director who told Wen Wan the result, Dong Xiuping could also hear the director's expression and the implicit reminder at that time.
But what's the use of knowing it? This substitute teacher is not a full-time teacher. Even Wen Wan, who she called, was introduced because of her connections. Compared to her, an ordinary teacher, it is obvious that the principal has more face.
So this is the final result, and there is nothing to say even if you go to the people above.
It was because of this that Dong Xiuping felt even more sorry for Wen Wan.
If she had clarified this matter before and knew that the principal had a candidate to recommend, she would not have let Wen Wan prepare and waste her time and energy.
Seeing her guilt, Wen Wan could only comfort her again.
"Maybe this is just luck. It's okay, Sister Xiuping. In fact, if it weren't for this result, I'm afraid I would have been struggling with it for a while."
"What are you worried about?" Dong Xiuping was puzzled.
Wen Wan explained, "Last time, Liang Jinheng said that he wanted me to go to the county with him. I hadn't made up my mind before because of the substitute teacher issue. But now that I can't be a substitute teacher anymore, I can finally make up my mind to go to the county with him."
After hearing what she said, Dong Xiuping also remembered what happened that day. Knowing that Wen Wan actually had a place to go, she felt a little better.
"Well, anyway, I really didn't expect this to happen, otherwise I wouldn't have thought of asking you to try. Who knew that Lu Li actually recommended her daughter's classmate, a high school graduate who just graduated. I don't know who he is..." Dong Xiuping muttered.
Wen Wan smiled and didn't plan to continue talking about this topic.
Since you have already confirmed that you cannot be a substitute teacher in school, don't worry about it anymore, so as not to make you feel worse.
She asked about Teacher Dong's situation again, went in and talked to him for a while, and then left Dong's house.
When leaving, Dong Xiuping told her to remember to come and play with her more often before she went to the county town, otherwise she was afraid that Wen Wan would not have much time to come back after going to the county town.
Wen Wan of course agreed and waved goodbye to her.
After going down from the faculty and staff family building, Wen Wan saw Liang Jinheng waiting outside. Liang Jinheng had been paying attention to the stairs. When he saw Wen Wan coming out, he called her.
"Wanwan."
Wen Wan walked over, her mood still somewhat affected.
"What's wrong?" Liang Jinheng asked hesitantly with a frown, "Are the results out?"
"Well, it's out. I didn't pass." Wen Wan walked forward without any emotion.
She felt that Liang Jinheng would be very excited to hear this news. After all, this was in line with Liang Jinheng's idea. He didn't want to stay in the town alone.
But what she didn't expect was that when Liang Jinheng heard that she wasn't chosen as a substitute teacher, not only did he not look happy at all, but his face darkened and he said in a cold voice, "How is this possible! How could you not be chosen? Are those teachers deliberately targeting you?"
Wen Wan was stunned and looked up at him in surprise.
Liang Jinheng was about to walk towards the school with a cold face.
"Let's get to the bottom of this matter. There must be something wrong with those teachers!"
Wen Wan came to her senses and quickly grabbed him.
"Hey, come back here!"
Liang Jinheng thought she was just scared and didn't want to cause trouble, but Liang Jinheng couldn't stand it.
Although he didn't want to be separated from his wife Wen Wan, he wanted her to go to the county town with him.
But all this is based on Wen Wan's willingness to go to the county town, not on the fact that she prepared seriously for the assessment but was rejected by others in the end.
The key point is that he thinks Wen Wan is the best, how could she fail this test!
So something is definitely not right.
"Wanwan, don't worry, I'm just going to ask about the situation. I must find out what's going on!"
Wen Wan thought to herself, you don't look like you're going to inquire about the situation, you look like you're going to smash up someone else's school!
However, looking at Liang Jinheng's reaction at this moment, Wen Wan realized how much Liang Jinheng trusted her.
She was somewhat touched, but she didn't plan to go to the school to ask about the situation with Liang Jinheng.
"Okay, I know what's going on. Don't go looking for them."
Fearing that Liang Jinheng would really rush in, she told him about Lu Li.
"The requirements for being a substitute teacher aren't particularly high. The principal has a lot of influence, so everyone is happy to let him recommend someone to take the position. Just think of it as me being unlucky and not catching up at a good time."
When Wen Wan talked about this again, she didn't feel much in her heart. Anyway, the matter was a foregone conclusion, and there was no point thinking about it anymore.
Liang Jinheng frowned and looked at her quietly. Seeing that Wen Wan was indeed not very sad about this matter, he felt relieved.
Although Wen Wan had let it go, he was still very angry.
After a moment's silence, he couldn't help but raise his hand and touch Wen Wan's head. His movements were very gentle, and with pity and heartache, he spoke seriously.
"Anyway, in my heart, Wanwan, you are the best. It's a pity for those people to miss out on such a good teacher like you."
Wen Wan rolled her eyes, pushed the hand on her head away, and said disdainfully: "Whether your hands are dirty or not, just touch my head. Okay, let's go home!"
After she finished speaking, she quickly left. However, when she turned her back to Liang Jinheng, she didn't even notice that the corners of her mouth had unconsciously risen a little.
.....
After returning to the Wen family, Wen Wan and Liang Jinheng just happened to arrive home for lunch.
Because we went to the city to check up our third brother Wen Min and found that he was fine, the whole family was in a good mood.
The last fish caught two days ago was also killed and eaten. Although the meal was not as sumptuous as the previous few days, the atmosphere at home was even better than that day.
In addition to the good news that the third brother is in good health, there is no former sister-in-law Tian Tian to spoil the atmosphere.
However, when she thought of Tian Tian, Wen Wan couldn't help but look at her elder brother Wen Guo.
She hasn't decided yet whether to tell her elder brother Tian Tian about his remarriage.
In fact, even if she didn't say it, Tian Tian would definitely spread the news everywhere after she came back.
After all, in her opinion, she married a worker in the county town, who was a very good man, so she must show off about it.
When the news reaches my eldest brother Wen Guo, I wonder what he will feel.
But now the whole family is in a good mood because of the third brother's matter, and what she said at this time might be a bit of a dampener.
In the end, Wen Wan decided to tell her brother about this when she and Liang Jinheng returned home in the afternoon, so that he could have some time to relax.
Unfortunately, before Wen Wan left in the afternoon, not long after dinner, someone outside spread the word that Tian Tian had gotten married again.
"My goodness, it's only been a short time. It's only been a day or two since the divorce, and Tian Tian is already getting married again?"
"What's going on with her? Could it be that she knew Wen Guo when she was married to him? So she went to marry him after the divorce? Then doesn't Wen Guo..."
Isn't that like being cuckolded?
It was really embarrassing to say this, and that person was not in a position to say it out loud.
"That shouldn't be the case. I heard that this guy is a worker in the county town!"
"Wow! He's actually a worker from the county! What's wrong with Tian Tian? She's so lucky to be able to marry such a good person for the second time! I'm afraid she'll become a city dweller in the future!"
"That's right. This person is really lucky. She used to be treated well by the Wen family, Wen Kingdom, and that family. I thought she would not be able to get married after the divorce, but she unexpectedly married such a good person. This is much better than the Wen family."
"Shh, keep your voice down. It would be bad if the Wen family heard it."
Then the sounds became much quieter and the Wen family members in the house could no longer hear them.
But this did not prevent them from having heard most of it.
The second brother, Wen Tai, spat, "These chatterboxes are so idle all day long that they just chatter away. If they had the time, why don't they go pick up manure?"
Old Man Wen frowned and stopped him: "Alright, stop talking. They have their mouths on them, why do you care what they say?"
After saying this, Old Man Wen looked at the eldest brother Wen Guo with some concern, worried that he would be affected by this matter.
But fortunately, when he looked at Wen Guo, he found that Wen Guo's expression had not changed much, and it seemed that he had completely let go of Tian Tian.
Wen Guo noticed the worried looks of his family members and couldn't help but say, "I'm fine. From the moment we divorced, she and I had nothing to do with each other. Whatever she wants to do is her business."
Whether she married well or badly, Wen Guo would no longer care.
After hearing his words, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It’s just that people outside are afraid that they will look down on Low Temperature Country because of Tian Tian’s remarriage and marrying into the city.
Wen Wan also thought of this. Now that her eldest brother and the family knew about Tian Tian's remarriage, she told them the true situation of Liao Xiang.
When she said this, the whole family was dumbfounded.
"So, the man Tian Tian married is a liar? She was deceived?" asked Mrs. Wen.
Wenwan corrected her wording.
"It's not a scam, it's a consensual thing. At least she got a city hukou by marrying into the city, so it's also a win for Tian Tian."
I'm afraid that married life will make her collapse.
Wen Wan thought without any sympathy.
Upon learning the true situation of Liao Xiang, whom Tian Tian married, the Wen family couldn't help but sigh. At the same time, they also felt that it was a good thing that such a daughter-in-law left their family, otherwise, with her vain nature, she would probably cause big problems in the future.
After staying at the Wen family for a while, Liang Jinheng and Wen Wan took their two children home.
After the job of substitute teacher at school fell through, Wen Wan immediately told the Wen family that she would be going to the county with Liang Jinheng after the New Year. Her eldest brother Wen Guo would also be going with them. Liang Jinheng had previously agreed with him to send him to help his comrades.
The Wen family had no objection to this and only expressed gratitude.
So Wen Wan and Liang Jinheng made an appointment with their eldest brother that when they returned to their parents' home on the second day of the Chinese New Year, they would come to discuss with him the departure date.
When we returned to the Liang family, it was already dark.
When Wen Wan and her family just returned to the yard, they heard a burst of laughter coming from Liang Jinbu's room. They looked at Liang Jinheng and felt a little strange.
At this time, the old couple of the Liang family and Liang Hongling could still laugh?
It would take something incredibly good to be happy even though all the house and money were taken away.
But no matter what they encountered, Wen Wan would not care about them as long as they didn't come to her to cause trouble.
She asked Liang Jinheng to play with the two children in the house, and then she took her food to the kitchen to cook.
The two families now live separated by a wall, so any noise on one side can be heard on the other side.
Realizing that Wen Wan and Liang Jinheng had returned, Liang Hongling's smile faded a little.
She rolled her eyes and said unhappily, "It's really disgusting!"
Seeing her angry, Miao Chunhong quickly advised: "Don't be angry with people like this. What if you get yourself hurt by anger? You're a future teacher. It's not worth it to bother with such people!"
The smile on Miao Chunhong's face never disappeared when she said this.
She also didn't expect that her daughter Liang Hongling, whom she had never had high hopes for, would quietly bring them such a big surprise. She also found herself a job as a teacher in the town, which was not inferior to her brother Liang Jinbu!
In the future, her two children, one is a worker and the other is a teacher. There is nothing more prestigious than this when they go out. This situation is unique not only in their brigade, but also in several nearby brigades!
"My dear daughter, you must not get angry and hurt yourself. It's not worth it for those two people!" Miao Chunhong advised again.
Liang Hongling rolled her eyes and said disdainfully, "Of course I can't argue with them. I'm going to be a teacher now, how can I be as uncultured as those two? I'm just annoyed by the thought that if they find out I'm a teacher and try to curry favor with me, I'll be fine."
Although the eldest brother Liang Jinheng said before that he would take Wen Wan and the two children to the county after the New Year, with the stupidity of Da Wa and Er Niu, would they be able to keep up in the county? They would definitely be disliked by the teachers and schools in the county.
The county looked down on them, so they could only run back to town to study in shame.
By then, wouldn't she have a good relationship with her younger sister who is a teacher in the town?
By that time, my elder brother Liang Jinheng and Wen Wan will definitely come to me for help in arranging good classes and teachers for the two children, Da Wa and Er Niu.
Tch, she knew they would do this without even thinking.
"Bah! They still have the nerve to curry favor with you. How can they be so shameless!" Miao Chunhong spat fiercely on the ground and said angrily, "I'm going to go and make it clear to them now. Those two little brats will no longer be under our control, and they can't ask us for help!"
Anyway, Liang Jinheng was so ruthless and showed no mercy when doing these things, so don't blame them for being ruthless!
After hearing this, Liang Hongling thought about it and did not stop Miao Chunhong.
After all, she was secretly proud of herself and wanted to see the regretful expressions on Liang Jinheng and Wen Wan's faces when they knew she was going to the town middle school to be a teacher.
So after Miao Chunhong went out, she followed her out as well.
Wen Wan was cooking when she heard Miao Chunhong's voice in the yard, calling her and Liang Jinheng's names.
It was night time and the brigade cadres had all gone home, so Miao Chunhong dared to be so flamboyant. Otherwise, if it were daytime, she really wouldn't dare to show off to Wen Wan and Liang Jinheng in front of the brigade cadres.
"Liang Jinheng, Wen Wan, both of you come out!"
Miao Chunhong stood in the yard with her hands on her hips, looking as if she would not give up until the two of them came out.
Liang Jinheng walked out first. Wen Wan looked at the rice in the pot for a while and thought it still needed to be simmered for a while, so she also walked out.
When she saw Wen Wan and Liang Jinheng appear in the yard, a look of pride flashed in Miao Chunhong's eyes.
"What's the matter?" Liang Jinheng looked at her with a frown.
Miao Chunhong didn't care that he didn't call her mother. She just cursed the heartless son of a bitch in her heart again, and then said, "There is something I need to make clear to you in advance. My daughter Hongling has become a teacher in the town and will work in the town in the future. But she is a new teacher after all, so don't ask her for any favors or anything like that. Otherwise, if it affects her work, I will definitely not let you go!"
Wen Wan and Liang Jinheng looked at each other, both stunned for a moment because Liang Hongling was going to the town middle school to be a teacher.
I don’t know what Wen Wan was thinking about, but she suddenly asked another question.
"When did this happen?"
Miao Chunhong thought Wen Wan was just envious and jealous, so she raised her head and replied proudly, "I just got the news yesterday. It was the principal of the town middle school who personally asked my daughter Hongling to go. He was optimistic about my daughter Hongling and believed that she would have a great future!"
It happened in the past two days, and it was the principal's choice. It was hard for Wen Wan not to think too much about it.
She finally understood that the person competing with her for the substitute teacher position was Liang Hongling.
Although it is not clear where Liang Hongling got the connections that allowed her to be related to Lu Li, since she got this job, it must be her ability.
So Wen Wan said, "Let me say congratulations first."
As she spoke, she chuckled, as if she found what Miao Chunhong had just said very funny.
"But you can rest assured. I, Liang Jinheng, will find a way to help Da Wa and Er Niu with their studies. Liang Jinheng's workplace has a special primary school for children, and there are schools in the neighborhood too. There are plenty of schools waiting for the two children to attend. Don't worry that I'll have to ask you for help."
Miao Chunhong's face froze. What kind of factory is this? It actually has a school for its children, and even the streets have special schools!
She suddenly felt sour in her heart, but she didn't show it.
She came here to show off, but she couldn't let Wen Wan see that she was being shown off.
"Hmph, it's fine as long as you guys know it. Don't even think about asking my Hongling for help in the future. We can't afford it!"
After saying that, Miao Chunhong went back to the house.
He happened to see Liang Hongling standing at the door, so he pulled Liang Hongling, who looked unhappy, back.
Liang Hongling was just like her mother, preparing to speak with the intention of showing off, but who knew that Wen Wan's words would make her feel upset instead.
Are the conditions in the county really so good, with plenty of schools waiting for the eldest and second daughters to choose from?
If she could go to the county to be a teacher, would she be treated better?
Liang Hongling was originally happy because she became a substitute teacher in the town middle school, but after hearing Wen Wan's words, she began to feel dissatisfied again.
Meanwhile, Liang Jinheng followed Wen Wan to the kitchen and couldn't help but ask, "The person who snatched your spot was Liang Hongling?"
Wenwan corrected his wording.
"She didn't steal my spot. She and I were just competing fairly."
But she couldn't win over Liang Hongling.
But in fact, she and Liang Jinheng both knew that with Liang Hongling's level, it would be difficult for her to teach a primary school student, let alone become a middle school teacher. Wouldn't that be misleading the students?
However, Liang Jinheng was really surprised that she could establish a relationship with the principal.
She had previously thought that the substitute teacher recommended by the principal was at least talented, but she didn't expect it to be Liang Hongling.
"Forget it, let her go if she wants to. Being a teacher isn't that easy. She'll know once she goes."
Liang Jinheng was still a little unconvinced, but seeing that Wen Wan didn't want to talk about it anymore, he gave up.
He thought, since Wen Wan really liked to be a teacher, he would go to the steel plant and ask if he could help find a teaching-related job for Wen Wan.
In the next few days, the New Year was getting closer, and Wen Wan and Liang Jinheng had nothing else to do, so they started preparing things for the New Year.
The New Year’s goods had been bought before, but since it was the first New Year after the separation, they didn’t want to be vague.
Their team slaughtered the New Year pig late, on the 27th. Wen Wan asked Liang Jinheng to buy several pounds of meat, stuffed it into some sausages, and then smoked it with cypress branches for a while. During the smoking process, the whole yard was filled with fragrance. The unique flavor of the cypress branches mixed with the aroma of meat. Even before taking a bite, one could imagine how amazing the taste was.
Smoked sausages are one of their local specialties. However, because of the famine in previous years, every household was poor. It is rare to be able to smoke so many sausages and bacon at one time. How extravagant it is.
So the neighbors nearby gathered around to watch Wen Wan smoke sausages and bacon, and kept praising her for her ability and good craftsmanship!
Wenwan smiled and praised them for their hard work and diligence.
A group of people were chatting animatedly in the yard, while Miao Chunhong's family in the house were rolling their eyes in anger.
This year they have returned all their money to Liang Jinheng. Not to mention sausages and bacon, they don’t even know what to eat for the New Year’s Eve dinner!
The couple bought so much meat this year. If this isn't intentional, they're trying to tempt them!
What a mean-spirited couple, bah!
However, just when many people were gathered in the yard chatting, Liang Jinbu suddenly came back.
Without a bicycle, he can only walk home.
I was very tired after walking all the way back, so my face didn't look very good.
Especially when he saw so many people in their yard, and they stared at him like a monkey when they saw him coming back, he felt even more unhappy.
But fortunately, I didn't lose my temper in front of so many people.
Liang Jinbu just nodded to everyone and returned to his room.
When he returned to the house and saw his parents and sister Liang Hongling crowded in his room, he stopped in his tracks. Then he remembered that the other rooms in the house had been divided up when the family split up, and now his room was the only room left for the family!
Liang Jinbu's face was as gloomy as water.
How can four people live in a room like this?
Miao Chunhong didn't think too much about it. When she saw him coming back, she hurried over to ask him how he was doing and took the bag from his hand attentively.
"It's vacation time, right? How long will it be?"
Liang Jinbu originally wanted to lie down on the bed, but when he saw that his bed was already filled with things by his parents, and his sister Liang Hongling was also sitting at the end of the bed, he immediately frowned, moved his feet with some disgust, and sat on the stool next to him.
He didn't answer Miao Chunhong, but asked her: "What's going on outside? Why are there so many people in those two rooms?"
The two rooms he was talking about were obviously the two brick houses.
Because the rental of the brick house to the brigade was not facilitated until Liang Jinbu left, he was not aware of it.
Miao Chunhong could only explain to him while scolding him.
When Liang Jinbu heard this, he hated Wen Wan and Liang Jinheng even more.
He would rather let outsiders live in the house than leave it to them, even if they pay for it. I'm afraid such a person's conscience has been eaten by dogs!
but.
Thinking of the good news he brought back from the town, Liang Jinbu finally felt much better.
He said to Miao Chunhong, who was still cursing Wen Wan and Liang Jinheng, "Alright, let's not talk about them for now. I have something to say."
The silent old man Liang and Liang Hongling, who was scratching her head while opening a book, also turned their heads to look at Liang Jinbu.
Liang Jinbu saw that everyone's attention was on him, so he spoke.
With a smug look on his face, he announced, "Starting from the new year, I will be officially employed."
"What?!"
Miao Chunhong and the other two were stunned for a moment, then shouted with joy.
"This is great news! This is great news! I knew you were the most capable and would definitely achieve great things!"
"Second brother, you are amazing. You became a regular employee so quickly!"
"Not bad, not bad."
The three of them kept expressing their joy and excitement, which made Liang Jinbu even more proud.
He failed to help the workshop director get things done, and when he returned to the factory, he almost thought he was going to be fired.
But what I didn’t expect was that there is always a way out and things took a turn for the better!
Thinking of the director's surprised expression when he learned that he had a backer, Liang Jinbu couldn't help but sneer again.
He thought the director was very capable, but he only dared to act arrogantly in front of him. If he really met a big shot, he wouldn't even dare to fart!
Old Man Liang calmed down faster than Liang Hongling and Miao Chunhong. Thinking of the pale expression on his second son's face when he left last time, he also thought that Liang Jinbu would be driven back.
I didn’t expect that not only was I not kicked out of the factory, but I was going to be converted to a regular employee?
Puzzled, he asked, "Progress, what on earth is going on?"
