The principal thought she was joking and waved her hand, saying, "Comrade Xiaobai, although you're Director Xu's niece, you're a skilled cook. You don't have to worry about what others say in the cafeteria. Just focus on your work and occasionally help with cooking for the higher-ups. Of course, your salary will definitely increase."
"That's right, Principal." Xu Fugui, worried that Bai Ruozhen wouldn't be able to explain, said, "This girl is completely focused on her studies and has already decided to go to university. Her family supports her, so let her just resign."
The principal was surprised. "Is there such a thing?"
Bai Ruozhen nodded sheepishly. "Yes, I've already planned to sign up. I loved studying when I was in the provincial capital, and when I arrived in Yancheng, I thought I'd never have the chance to study again. I didn't expect the country to give us such a great opportunity. I believe that as educated young people trained by the country, we should rise to the challenge when the country needs us. Our country is short of talent right now, so we should rise to the challenge and make our due contribution to the development of our motherland."
She spoke with such seriousness, her eyes filled with love for her motherland that even the principal was moved. Bai Ruozhen continued, "Of course, I won't give up my skills. They're good at our school, but they can only serve our school. I also hope to go beyond Shandong Province and contribute to the country in the future."
"Excellent!" the principal clapped his hands in encouragement, praising, "Comrade Bai Ruozhen's words are truly excellent. Intellectuals should have this kind of awareness. Oh, it's my fault that I discovered this too late. If I had known Comrade Bai Ruozhen earlier, I would have wanted him to stay in our school as a teacher. We should have such an enlightened comrade teach these children, so that they too can understand how hard it is to have a good life, and so that they too can have this kind of awareness."
Hearing this, Bai Ruozhen's mouth twitched, and she smiled awkwardly. She was still a teacher. Before, she found it difficult to be a student, let alone a teacher. If it weren't for God's blessing and her sudden enlightenment, with her previous learning ability...
Tsk tsk, that's really hard to describe.
Neither the principal nor Xu Fugui knew about Bai Ruozhen's previous academic ability. She was too humble to admit it. Since the principal praised her, others also began to praise Bai Ruozhen.
The principal and several other leaders were very satisfied with the meal. Before leaving, the principal said, "Comrade Bai Ruozhen may not be a student of our school, but he is still a member of our school. So, to show the school's support for you, I will help you find some college entrance examination review materials."
"Really?" Bai Ruozhen suddenly became happy, "Thank you, Principal."
The principal suppressed his smile. "Getting into university isn't easy. Although the notice just came out, the exam is only a little over a month away. For those of us who have been preparing for the exam for over a decade, I'm sure this exam will be a very difficult one. Xiaobai, please tell me that no matter how you do, you must give it your all."
Bai Ruozhen nodded excitedly, "I promise to study hard and strive to get into university."
After everyone left, Auntie Pang wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, "Mom, I was scared to death. I thought the principal would criticize us for eating so well."
Bai Ruozhen was in a very good mood because she was about to get a set of review materials for free. She smiled and said, "That's nothing to worry about. Have you forgotten that we bought the vegetables and meat we eat with our own money? At most, we can buy them easily when the school is purchasing."
"That's right." Auntie Fatty laughed, "I almost forgot about it because I was so scared."
Bai Ruozhen had already resigned, so he had nothing to do in the afternoon. He prepared a final dinner for everyone in advance, said goodbye to everyone, and left.
Xu Xiaofeng reluctantly pulled Bai Ruozhen and said, "Sister Zhenzhen, I will still follow you one day."
Bai Ruozhen couldn't think too far ahead, but still nodded, "Okay."
When she got home, Gu Changqing had already returned. He was teaching his son to count. When he saw her come back, he hurriedly asked, "Have you resigned?"
Bai Ruozhen nodded. "It's all settled. There's no need to hand over the work anyway. Uncle Xu can just help take care of it. Where's Second Aunt?"
Gu Changqing said, "I'm back to the commune. My second uncle caught a cold, and my second aunt was worried so she went back to check on him. I'll be back tomorrow."
When Bai Ruozhen heard that Second Uncle Gu was ill, he was a little worried, "Is he okay?"
Gu Changqing said, "It's okay. From what Second Aunt said, Second Uncle wants to take advantage of the opportunity to feign illness to hand over his work. Most likely, he wants Big Brother to take over, but Big Brother doesn't have enough experience, so he needs to move around."
Bai Ruozhen didn't care after hearing this, "That should be fine. Isn't my sister-in-law's family quite powerful?"
"Humph, who knows." Gu Changqing said indifferently, "The Song family may be on the verge of collapse."
Bai Ruozhen was shocked. "Song family? Sister-in-law's family?"
Song Mei has been acting so recklessly in the Gu family over the years and was even able to marry Gu Changbai because she relied on her natal family. Now that her natal family has fallen, will Song Mei be more restrained in the future?
Gu Changqing obviously didn't care about his eldest brother's affairs at all. "Even their family, the Song family is considered powerful in Yancheng, but the things they did during the revolution... Humph, my eldest brother only has Second Uncle as a relative, and he was smart enough not to let himself get involved, otherwise we would all be affected."
Bai Ruozhen murmured, "How terrifying."
Gu Changqing stood up and said, "I'll go wash the vegetables."
Jiaozi and Doubao were about to turn two, and they were at the age of mischief. They started fighting without noticing, so Bai Ruozhen quickly pulled them apart and scolded them, "If you keep fighting, you won't have dinner tonight."
The two men stopped fighting immediately, but their eyes were still fixed on each other with a vicious look.
Dumpling said: "Doubao bullied me."
