Chapter 39 Registration
Half a month later, Nanbeipo Primary School was officially renamed Xiufengshan Farm Primary School and was allocated five public school teacher quotas.
After hearing the news, Tao Nanfeng's reputation on the farm reached an unprecedented high.
Everyone knows that she fought against a master from Kyoto in order to win the five public school teacher quotas, and she won only after trying her best.
Who is she for? She is not doing this for her own benefit, but for the teachers, for the school, and for a better education for the children. Who wouldn't praise such a good educated youth who is dedicated to the public and devoted to his work?
Tao Nanfeng has been hearing nothing but compliments when he walks on the street these days, and his ears are almost callused.
In late August, as the construction of the primary school entered its final stage, I could finally relax a little.
The weather was hot, so Tao Nanfeng went out early in the morning. As soon as he passed the educated youth site, he was stopped by three teachers.
"Chief Tao, thank you for fighting for the staffing for our three teachers. This is a small gift from us, please accept it." Li Minli brought a basket of cicada monkeys that she had picked up early in the morning and stuffed it into Tao Nanfeng's hands without saying a word.
Zhao Yingjie gave a bag of roasted pumpkin seeds and teacher Sun Yuan gave a bag of dried elaeagnus seeds, both of which are snacks that children love to eat.
Faced with everyone's feelings, Tao Nanfeng refused verbally, but in fact he had already softened in his heart.
As her "mouse nature" grew stronger, she could no longer resist the temptation of snacks. In addition to three meals a day, she would always prepare some biscuits, candies, melon seeds and peanuts by her bed for daily snacks.
At this moment, Tao Nanfeng pursed her lips, shook her head and waved her hands, looking aloof, but her beautiful big eyes were sparkling, revealing an innocent enthusiasm.
Li Minli burst out laughing. This is what an 18-year-old girl looks like. She pulled Tao Nanfeng's long braids and said gently, "Although the cicada monkeys look ugly, they are very fragrant when fried. They are crispy and delicious. If you like them, I'll send some more."
Tao Nanfeng took the snacks from the three teachers and said, "Thank you, these are enough. Aren't you going home during the summer vacation?"
Li Minli replied: "The three of us have started a family here, and the school is building a building now. There are many things that need help, so we will not go back to Yuezhou."
Tao Nanfeng handed the basket of snacks to Xiao Aiyun who had been following him: "Do you want to be a teacher? There are winter and summer vacations, and you can play with the children."
Xiao Aiyun was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I'll follow you."
Tao Nanfeng is actually also thinking about everyone's future.
She likes architecture and will definitely carry out the infrastructure construction to the end.
Ye Qin likes planting and Li Huilan likes medicine. Both of them have work related to their hobbies and they enjoy their work.
Passion is the best teacher, but what Xiao Aiyun did was not what she liked.
As soon as Xiao Aiyun arrived at the farm, he was assigned to the road construction team and has been with Tao Nanfeng ever since. She never said that she liked infrastructure construction, nor did she say what she wanted to do more. If you ask her, she always says she wants to be with Tao Nanfeng.
Xiao Aiyun didn't like Tao Nanfeng, but was afraid of change, so she subconsciously depended on him.
Road construction and house building are both field work, exposed to the sun and rain. Even if Tao Nanfeng took care of Xiao Aiyun and assigned her to the logistics support department, it was still hard work. He wanted her to change her job. Tao Nanfeng was worried that letting her rely on him all the time would end up hurting her.
Xiao Aiyun is lively and cheerful, emotionally rich, likes children, and has a sense of justice. Such a person should be quite suitable to be a teacher.
Tao Nanfeng looked at her seriously and said, "Think about it carefully. Do you like being a teacher? You have to like your job."
Xiao Aiyun shook his head stubbornly: "No, I want to follow you."
She held onto Tao Nanfeng's arm and refused to let go. "If you are in the road construction team, I will be in the road construction team. If you are in the infrastructure department, I will be in the infrastructure department. I feel at ease when I am with you. Tao Nanfeng, don't you want me to follow you? Do you dislike me for not being able to help you?"
Xiao Aiyun suddenly remembered Xiang Bei's criticism of her, and her mood suddenly became depressed. Is it a burden for her to follow Tao Nanfeng? I can't help Tao Nanfeng at all...
Tao Nanfeng was once a person who was depressed for a whole day because of a word from others. Naturally, she could see that Xiao Aiyun was a little sad. She gently patted the back of Xiao Aiyun's hand and comforted her with a smile.
"I don't dislike you, I just think you always follow me and don't have time to think about what you really want. We are best friends, so of course I want you to find a job you like."
Having someone by your side is also a kind of happiness. Tao Nanfeng is very grateful to Xiao Aiyun for her warm company all the time.
Li Minli listened to the side and said to Xiao Aiyun with a smile: "You are a high school graduate from a big city, you must know more than us. If you like to be a teacher, you can come and sign up. There are still two quotas for public teachers, and private teacher farms will also have three quotas. It's good for girls to be teachers."
Teacher Sun Yuan added: "Jiang Chengyuan, if you had winter and summer vacations, wouldn't you be able to go home to visit your family?"
Yes! Xiao Aiyun's eyes lit up. She has no holidays at all now in the farm infrastructure department, but if she becomes a teacher, won’t she be able to go home? Even if you can't get the quota for public school teachers, private teachers are also good. I heard that this time the director was offered a large sum of money. If the educated youth become teachers, they will still receive a monthly subsidy of 16 yuan, plus an additional 10 yuan private teacher allowance.
Thinking of this, Xiao Aiyun was moved.
She is the third child in the family, with two older sisters and a younger brother and sister. As the sandwich, she has never received any attention from her parents. She turned the sadness of being ignored into motivation for studying, and found a sense of existence in textbooks, classrooms, and exams.
If you answer questions in class well, the teacher will praise you;
If you do your homework well, your classmates will praise you;
If you get good grades in the exam and come home with a certificate, your parents will be happy.
If the college entrance examination had not been cancelled, the diligent and hardworking Xiao Aiyun would have definitely been admitted to a good university.
Now, Tao Nanfeng asked himself sincerely: Do I want to be a teacher? She was really moved.
She doesn't have confidence in infrastructure construction, but she is good at studying. Not to mention elementary school, she dares to teach even junior high school!
Seeing Xiao Aiyun's eyes become sparkling, Tao Nanfeng knew that his judgment was correct. It’s not that Xiao Aiyun doesn’t want to be a teacher, but she is too dependent on herself and is unwilling to change the status quo. As long as someone gives her a push, she can take that step bravely.
"Xiao Aiyun, whether you are a teacher or in the infrastructure department, I have no objection. The only thing you need to consider now is: whether you like being a teacher or not."
Hearing Tao Nanfeng's heartfelt words, Xiao Aiyun nodded heavily: "Yes, I like being a teacher."
Li Minli smiled when she heard it: "Okay, you sign up. The three of us teachers will be judges. When the time comes, prepare well in advance for the trial lecture and strive for success."
Zhao Yingjie pushed his glasses, his expression a little serious: "I won't open a back door for you. Whether you can get in depends entirely on your teaching level. So, please make sure you prepare well."
Xiao Aiyun smiled and responded: "Okay! I want to pass the exam with my own ability! But..." Her smile was sincere, "I would like to ask the three teachers for advice on how to make a lesson plan and how to make a class lively and interesting. Is that okay?"
The three teachers exchanged glances and said, “Sure!”
After deciding to participate in the teacher registration and competition, Tao Nanfeng and Xiao Aiyun went to the site together to get the registration form. Xiao Aiyun took out a pen and carefully filled in his personal information according to the requirements of the form.
The registration office for the farm primary school is located in the office at the entrance of the stairs on the first floor. Tao Nanfeng found the person in charge and asked about the registration status of the farm primary school.
After Luo Xuan stepped down, Wang Xiaoxi was appointed as the director of the office. He was an old farm employee, about 36 or 37 years old. When he saw Tao Nanfeng, he was very polite: "Chief Tao, please look, this is the registration form."
When I took the registration form and looked at it, I didn't expect that there were more than 30 educated youth who signed up to recruit two public school teachers and three private school teachers for all the farm employees.
Only one person is admitted among six or seven people. With such an admission ratio, the competition is very fierce.
Wang Xiaoxi explained: "This time, the farm director has made up his mind to run a good primary school and has allocated a lot of funds, so the registration is very enthusiastic. Especially the quota for the two public school teachers, everyone is looking forward to it. We have more than 500 employees in our farm, and educated youth account for almost half of them. It should be possible to pick out five good teachers from so many educated youth."
Tao Nanfeng scanned the list and found two familiar names.
Hu Yiqin and Du Chenzhe.
These two educated youth from De County also signed up. Du Chenzhe is known as the "farm poet". He and Ye Qin established a romantic relationship. Why haven't I heard Ye Qin mention this in the dormitory?
With this doubt, Tao Nanfeng waited for Xiao Aiyun to hand in the form, and told her the news while walking to the elementary school construction site: "Du Chenzhe has also signed up. I guess he wants to be a Chinese teacher?"
When Xiao Aiyun heard this, her eyes widened. "He wants to be a Chinese teacher? Doesn't that mean he's competing with me? I also signed up for Chinese. It's over. Du Chenzhe is a great poet and has published poems in magazines. I definitely can't win against him."
This time, the farm primary school is recruiting two Chinese teachers, two mathematics teachers, and one music and art teacher. The public school teacher quota includes one Chinese teacher and one mathematics teacher. Therefore, when Xiao Aiyun knew that Du Chenzhe was also participating in the competition, she immediately became nervous.
Tao Nanfeng's attitude was very calm: "It doesn't matter. If you can pass the exam, then go. If you can't be a teacher, then continue to work in the infrastructure department. It's nothing."
Xiao Aiyun thought it made sense and laughed, "My Nanfeng is the best. She is always considerate when she speaks. Tomorrow I will go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy a foot of white cotton cloth and embroider two small handkerchiefs for you."
Xiao Aiyun is very skillful and is good at embroidery, sewing and making curtains. Tao Nanfeng is strong and knows about construction, but she is not good at needlework. In daily life, Xiao Aiyun takes care of her more.
Tao Nanfeng nodded and hesitated for a moment whether to express his doubts. Although this could be considered as talking about others behind their backs, since it concerned the future of her roommates, she felt it necessary to communicate with Xiao Aiyun.
"The registration for the farm primary school teachers was announced a week ago. I saw the registration list in the office and found that Du Chenzhe registered very early. He registered together with Hu Yiqin from their educated youth center. Did you hear Ye Qin mention this in the dormitory?"
Xiao Aiyun glanced at Tao Nanfeng with a little surprise: "Tao Nanfeng, have you noticed that you are talking more and more now? And... you are willing to gossip with me!"
In Xiao Aiyun's opinion, which girl doesn't like gossip? Although Tao Nanfeng was a good person in the past, he was not very down-to-earth. He acted and spoke in a rigid manner, which made him difficult to approach. Unexpectedly, after returning to Jiangcheng, Tao Nanfeng seemed to have untied the depression in his heart, and became more and more cheerful and relaxed. This time he was willing to gossip with me, which was a good thing!
Tao Nanfeng glared at her, but his beautiful big eyes were full of smiles, without any lethality.
Xiao Aiyun smiled happily, hugged Tao Nanfeng's arm and said intimately: "I like you the most. I am very happy that you are willing to tell me gossip. This shows that we are good friends."
She rolled her eyes and continued with what Tao Nanfeng said, "Ye Qin didn't tell me about Du Chenzhe's registration. I don't know if she doesn't know or doesn't care. We'll interrogate her when we get back."
When Ye Qin returned to the dormitory after work, his face changed when he heard Xiao Aiyun's question: "What, he signed up to be a teacher? He didn't tell me such an important thing? I'll go ask him."
After saying that, he disappeared in a flash, leaving the other three girls in the dormitory looking at each other in bewilderment.
