Chapter 10 Chapter 10 I have no destiny with myself
"Mom, do you have anything to say? Is there something happening in the primary school of our brigade?" Yang Dai saw the expression on Yang's mother's face, but did not follow Yang's mother out of the kitchen.
"No, no." Yang's mother shook her head repeatedly. "I just think that although the primary school in the brigade is close to home, it's not as cost-effective as the job in the commune."
"And you forgot, your future sister-in-law Xiaoxia is also a teacher in an elementary school. You two quarrel whenever you meet. The principal will definitely be unhappy if he finds out." Looking at Yang Dai's expression, it seemed that she didn't remember this at all, so Yang's mother had to bring it up herself.
"She is a teacher in elementary school?" Yang Dai really didn't know about this. She tried hard to recall her original body's memories, but had no impression.
"She became the new teacher last year. The previous primary school teacher got married and her husband's family lived far away. The primary school was short of teachers, so Xiaoxia took over. I heard she did a good job." Mother Yang felt relieved when she saw that Yang Dai really didn't know anything about the matter and didn't mean to go to the school to compare with Wang Lixia.
When Yang Dai heard Wang Lixia's name, she thought of the person she first met when she went to register for school.
At that time, I just thought she looked familiar, but I couldn't remember who she was. But now I remember that she is the younger sister of Wang Lixia's sister-in-law. She is the same age as Wang Lixia and has been good friends with Wang Lixia since childhood.
Yang Dai and Wang Lixia have been sworn enemies since childhood. They have been competing with each other since they were young and have never been able to live in harmony.
But it just so happened that Wang Lixia and Yang Dai's second brother Yang Cheng were engaged since childhood, and the adults of both families got along well. Wang Lixia had no objection to Yang Cheng, so this marriage would naturally not be canceled because of Yang Dai's existence.
Yang Dai’s second brother is four years older than Yang Dai, and they were engaged as children at an early age, so they should have gotten married long ago.
But Wang Lixia once said that it was easy for her to marry Yang Cheng, but the prerequisite was that Yang Dai had to be married off first.
With a sister-in-law like Yang Dai who is lazy, greedy, and quarrels with her sister-in-law every day, Wang Lixia would never live under the same roof with Yang Dai even if she never gets married in her life.
Yang Dai naturally refused to admit defeat, and she also shouted to Wang Lixia, saying that as long as she was in this family, Wang Lixia would never be able to enter the Yang family.
When the future aunt and sister-in-law quarreled, Yang Cheng became the sandwich between them, suffering from both sides.
In order to stop being a sandwich, Yang Cheng volunteered to work on the railway and did not return home until two months before Yang Dai's wedding.
Now that Yang Dai's marriage is settled, Yang Cheng is not planning to go out again, so the Yang and Wang families simply start to arrange their wedding.
After all, the two of them are already considered old and unmarried in the brigade, and both families want to settle down as soon as possible.
"If you want to be a teacher in the brigade, go and try it first, but let's not give up on the job in the commune."
"The purchasing station is a good company. Even if you're a temporary worker, you get a lot of benefits." Yang's mother mostly obeys her daughter's opinions. Basically, whatever her daughter says is what she does.
Although he didn't agree with Yang Dai becoming a primary school teacher, he didn't say much and just let Yang Dai do what she wanted.
"Let's talk about work in a few days. Let's paste the walls first. If there are not enough newspapers, wait for your dad to buy some from the scrap yard." Yang's mother quickly lit the fire and prepared to boil water to peel the chicken.
Worried that the kitchen smoke would bother Yang Dai, he asked her to leave quickly.
Yang Dai spread out the newspapers one by one and found that the latest date of the newspaper was just half a month ago.
Nowadays, all factories and units have the habit of subscribing to newspapers, but newspapers are time-sensitive. No one reads them when they are expired. When they accumulate too much, they will be taken to the scrap yard and sold.
Yang's father took advantage of his free time at work to frequently go in and out of the brick kiln factory's office building and collect the unwanted newspapers in the office.
You can use it to paste walls or start fires. In short, it will be useful as long as you bring it back.
Yang Dai had nothing to do, so she decided to take a good look at the contents of the newspaper.
The newspaper contains a lot of content, including articles that are mainly political, as well as various good news, educational articles, and even short stories.
Yang Dai read with great interest, arranging different newspapers one by one according to the date.
Then, in an inconspicuous corner, Yang Dai saw a call for papers.
The direction of the call for submissions is to praise the working people, who are the most glorious.
If the call for submissions is approved, the contributors will be rewarded with industrial coupons, grain, oil and cloth coupons.
Yang Dai's eyes were fixed on the ticket rewards behind her.
Looking at the date on the newspaper, it was from last month, not too long ago. Yang Dai quickly took out a pen and paper and copied down the address from the newspaper.
In this era, there is no payment for submitting articles for writing, and even ticket rewards are rare.
Most of the articles in newspapers are actually written by editors and reporters within the newspaper.
A small number of articles are personal submissions, and the contributors will clearly state who they are and which unit or factory they are from when submitting their articles.
If the manuscript is selected by the newspaper, each unit and factory will provide financial rewards. As for what the reward will be, it depends on how generous the unit and factory are.
There are very few newspapers that directly state in their call for submissions that they will reward tickets for approved submissions, but Yang Dai thinks this is an opportunity.
With the intention of writing an article, Yang Dai no longer wanted to paste the newspapers on the wall. Instead, she put them back in place one by one and prepared to read the contents of the newspapers carefully.
When Yang's mother heard Yang Dai say that she was not going to paste the wall and was going to collect newspapers, her expression was just surprised.
Then he fulfilled Yang Dai's wish, "I'll go back and talk to your father, and ask him to help you look for it."
Mother Yang was busy all morning. The steamed buns were ready, and the mutton and pork belly were also cooked. She also fried a plate of vegetables. The dishes were even more sumptuous than the one on Yang Dai's wedding day.
After traveling through time for so many days, Yang Dai finally felt that she had had a decent meal.
Yang's mother's cooking skills were actually just average, but Yang Dai's body was lacking in oil and water, and after two days of being tortured by Han Lin's cooking skills, this meal naturally seemed even more precious.
Yang Dai gave half of the lamb to Yang's mother to take away, and also stuffed one of the pheasants into Yang's mother's backpack.
If Yang's mother disagrees, Yang Dai will start to cry.
In the end, Yang's mother was unable to carry her daughter, and left with her own backpack, feeling helpless and relieved.
Yang Dai was also fully preparing for the trial class. She took out her elementary school textbooks and read them over and over again, recalling the teachers she had met and imitating them.
Soon it was the day of Yang Dai's trial class.
The trial class was scheduled for the afternoon. Yang Dai arrived half an hour early. She thought that the requirements for recruiting teachers this time were high and not many people would come for the trial class.
I didn't expect that there were people from the Huangzhuang Brigade, and even many people from other brigades came.
Yang Dai's reputation has been more or less heard by everyone in the surrounding area. When the teachers who came to try out the class saw Yang Dai coming, they couldn't help but whisper to each other.
Yang Dai remained calm and walked to the end of the line to wait. She had to give a trial lecture for twenty minutes, so she still had to wait.
"Why is Zhu Qingguo here too? Didn't he say before that his father-in-law could send him directly to the commune?"
"Even Zhu Qingguo is here, do we still have hope?"
The sound of hustle and bustle came from the crowd in front again. Yang Dai looked up and found that it was someone she knew.
Zhu Qingguo was not from the Huangzhuang Brigade, but from the neighboring Leihe Brigade. However, he was very famous in the surrounding area.
This reputation is different from Yang Dai and Han Lin's reputation of being idle.
Zhu Qingguo is a child from another family. He has been smart, sensible, excellent and studious since he was young.
The only thing missing is a bit of luck.
When I was in school, I contributed articles to newspapers and received praise from the school and the commune.
After graduating from high school, with the recommendation of his teacher, Zhu Qingguo went to work as a temporary worker in a factory in the county town. However, it was only a few months before he packed his bags and slowly returned home.
It wasn't that Zhu Qingguo made a mistake in the factory, but that there were not enough vacancies in the factory and some people wanted to insert their relatives in. Zhu Qingguo, a young man without any backing, became a fish on the chopping board, at the mercy of others, who could find any excuse to send him home.
Later, Zhu Qingguo got married. He heard that his wife's family was also well-known in the commune. Everyone said that Zhu Qingguo's luck had turned and he would go to work in the commune sooner or later.
Unexpectedly, he came to Huangzhuang Brigade to apply for a teacher position.
Zhu Qingguo's appearance caused a commotion among the crowd, and Yang Dai also felt a little more pressured.
I thought becoming an elementary school teacher was a sure thing and that I had the greatest competitiveness.
It turns out that this is not the case.
When she walked up to the podium for the trial class and found Wang Lixia sitting there smiling brightly at her, Yang Dai felt even more that this job as a primary school teacher was not for her.
But even so, Yang Dai still performed at her best. At least she felt that when she walked out of the trial class classroom, the old principal sitting below looked very satisfied.
But seeing that her hope of becoming a teacher was slim, Yang Dai sped up her writing.
If you can't earn eight work points, you can also earn some industrial coupons.
The main content of the call for articles in the newspaper is that labor is the most glorious.
Every day, Yang Dai would take her own paper and pen and go to the fields to take a look. Although it was not the busy season for autumn wheat harvest, it was not idle either. Everyone was busy with their own work.
Han's mother looked down upon Yang Dai's inconsistent behavior.
But Han Lin protected her, and Yang Dai also had a legitimate reason, saying that she wanted to submit an article to the newspaper.
Even though Han's mother had a lot of complaints, she could only hold it back.
After spending several days, Yang Dai finally finished her first manuscript. After all, it was her first time writing an article of this era. Yang Dai even drew a picture for this purpose, which was a scene of Huangzhuang Brigade members working in the fields.
After finishing the manuscript, Yang Dai was eager to submit it and didn't want to waste any time at all.
Han Lin also followed Yang Dai's wishes and borrowed a bicycle from Yang's mother and took Yang Dai to the commune.
Yang Dai immediately rushed to the post office and delivered her manuscript, intending to take a good look at it in the commune.
Han Lin suddenly grabbed Yang Dai's hand, dragged her into a corner and hid her.
