Chapter 31 Chapter 31 Become a teacher!

Shen Shaoyuan finally understood after listening to Zhou Mancang's explanation that Zhou Mancang wanted to add an art class to the brigade primary school and hoped that he would be the art teacher.

It is said that the best primary school in the county, Dongfanghong Primary School, has auxiliary courses such as music, art and physical education. Even another primary school in the county, Jiangbei County Gongnong Primary School, has only physical education and music classes, but no art classes due to a lack of teachers. Physical education classes

are simple, and if they are not good enough, just let the students run and jump. Music classes require at least a teacher who understands music and knows how to sing. Fortunately, model operas and revolutionary songs are popular now, so it is relatively easy to find people who can play some instruments and sing, but people who can draw are indeed very rare.

This is the case in all primary schools in the county. The teacher shortage in the commune primary schools is naturally even more severe. Therefore, their Liuqiao commune primary school only has physical education classes, but no music or art classes.

In fact, not to mention the commune primary school, even the commune middle school does not have these two auxiliary courses.

So why did Zhou Mancang suddenly come up with the idea of ​​opening an art class in their brigade primary school?

To put it bluntly, it was actually because of Shen Shaoyuan.

In fact, Shen Shaoyuan changed a lot during this period of time. From an ordinary member who did ordinary work and had problems with food at home, he suddenly became a worker in a commune-run factory. Although he was a worker, he was doing the work of the propaganda department. Strictly speaking, he was actually doing the work of an official.

Not to mention the other members of the brigade, Zhou Mancang was also very excited.

For example, the cadres of the brigade, in addition to being able to record work points in the village, can also receive a small amount of subsidies issued by the commune, so everyone's life is much better than ordinary members, but it is still not comparable to the workers who receive wages.

Even if they are temporary workers, the monthly salary in the first year is 18 yuan, which is more than 200 yuan a year. This is a high salary that these old farmers dare not even think about.

Although he was stimulated, Zhou Mancang did not think of quitting his job as the brigade leader and becoming a worker. Besides, even if he wanted to be one, he had no chance and no way.

As a responsible and thoughtful captain, Zhou Mancang thought that since writing and painting are skills that can find jobs, if the children in the village can also learn this skill, it may not be useful for everyone, but as long as they learn it, maybe a few people can make a living with this skill in the future? At first,

Zhou Mancang only had such an idea vaguely. Later, he tried every means to inquire about the situation of the primary school in the county, and also inquired about the recruitment situation of the county ceramic factory. He heard that they were recruiting painters who must be able to paint, and he immediately became more determined in this idea.

There were no conditions before, but now that we know that Shen Laoqi has the ability, we can find a way to let the children in the village learn from him, so that they may have another way out in the future.

Zhou Mancang has been thinking about this for a long time. The only thing is that Shen Shaoyuan is now working in the commune kiln factory, and it is obviously unlikely to let him return to the brigade primary school to be a teacher.

Until this time, he heard that because of the special nature of Shen Laoqi's work, his work in the kiln factory does not need to strictly follow the working hours like other workers. As long as he completes the tasks assigned by the leaders, the factory allows him to arrange his time freely.

Zhou Mancang thought about it and felt that Shen Shaoyuan could actually arrange some time freely to come back and teach the children in the village.

Shen Shaoyuan didn't expect Zhou Mancang to be so thoughtful that he wanted to open an art class in a small brigade primary school when there was only one primary school in the county that offered art classes.

However, Shen Shaoyuan had to admit that Zhou Mancang was indeed a responsible brigade cadre who worked hard for the members.

However, Shen Shaoyuan refused and said, "My working hours are a little more flexible than those of the workers in the workshop because my work place is not inside the workshop, but at the factory wall and notice board. Moreover, the work tasks are often more concentrated, and sometimes I need to work overtime. When the tasks are less, the leaders will definitely allow me to take my own time to rest."

"But my schedule is not fixed, and I don't have as much spare time as you think. You asked me to help write slogans in the village, I can definitely make time for it. But you asked me to teach the children, which is not something that can be done in one or two hours. It is definitely not possible."

Zhou Mancang was a little disappointed: "Does that mean it won't work?"

He thought about it and fought for the children in the village: "That won't work. , why don't you teach them when you are free? I will rent you an empty room in the brigade headquarters and put a blackboard there. It will be next to your house after all. Whenever it is free, I will have someone call the kids over. Especially during the winter and summer vacations, the kids are at home idle anyway. Do you think this is okay?" After

saying this, Zhou Mancang suddenly felt a little regretful. If he had known this, he should have arranged it two months ago. He really wasted an entire summer vacation.

Shen Shaoyuan smiled and did not answer Zhou Mancang's question. Instead, he asked, "If this art teacher is full-time, will his salary be the same as the other two teachers?"

Zhou Mancang sighed. He didn't think Shen Shaoyuan was interested in this teacher's job. The salary of a private teacher was only 12 yuan, which was 6 yuan less per month than the temporary worker in the kiln, and there were no benefits of the kiln. Shen Shaoyuan would definitely look down on it.

He thought Shen Shaoyuan was just curious, and to show his sincerity, he said: "If you are willing to come back and be a full-time teacher, I will definitely go to the commune to fight for the same treatment for you as other people. Even if the commune cannot fight for it, the brigade will definitely give you work points to make up for it."

Shen Shaoyuan nodded and said: "Okay, then let my Moer go."

Zhou Mancang was stunned for a moment and didn't react: "Why let Moer go?"

Shen Shaoyuan said as a matter of course: "Don't you want to Should we offer art classes to primary schools? Compared to me, my daughter Moer is more suitable. She lives in the village and can be a full-time teacher without having to worry about her time. Moreover, she is weak to begin with, and I was afraid that she would be too tired from work. By teaching the children, she can relax a little, and the children can learn something, which is a win-win situation. "

He did not hide it, and to be honest, he really wanted his daughter to do something easy.

Zhou Mancang was stunned by what he heard, and couldn't help but follow Shen Shaoyuan's thoughts and said: "Yes, what you said makes sense, it is really killing two birds with one stone..."

Halfway through, he reacted: "No, your Moer can also paint?"

Shen Shaoyuan looked as if he didn't need to say more: "My wife was actually the one who taught my Moer to paint, and I learned it by listening casually. Later, my wife passed away, and we, father and daughter, Usually when we have nothing to do at home, we write and draw together. My daughter Moer's drawing skills are not worse than mine. "

In fact, she is still a lot worse than him. After all, he does have the interest and time, and has been immersed in calligraphy and painting for more than 20 years. Moer is different. This child has no stability. When she first started learning, she fished for three days and dried the nets for two days. Her level can only be said to be above average, but she is more than enough to teach elementary school children.

Of course, in front of Zhou Mancang, he had to say that it was almost the same. Anyway, those slogans and prints could not show his true level at all, so there was nothing wrong with saying it was almost the same.

When Zhou Mancang heard that Shen Moer's painting level was not worse than Shen Shaoyuan's, he immediately said, "Okay, don't say it was almost the same. As long as she is half as good as you, I will be happy. Okay, okay, then let your Shen Moer go to elementary school to be a teacher, and she will go as soon as the school starts! Don't worry, I will go to the commune to get her a private teacher's quota!"

Zhou Mancang was very excited. He was originally very upset because Shen Shaoyuan refused. Who knew that there would be a ray of hope and a more suitable candidate.

This is great!

On the other side, the others helped Shen Moer clean up the table and dishes, and then each took their own dishes and tables and chairs and said goodbye.

Before leaving, Aunt Chen patted Shen Moer's hand and assured her that she would definitely mobilize the old sisters in the village to spread the evil deeds of the sisters Tian Fang and Tian Cui, and would never let them have the opportunity to tarnish Shen Moer's reputation.

Shen Moer thanked everyone and sent everyone out. Fu Mingze and Zheng Jiamin also left with the others, but Fu Mingze frowned slightly when he left, as if he was worried about something.

After Shen Shaoyuan and Zhou Mancang finished their conversation and sent everyone away, Shen Yinyin and her two children said goodbye to Shen Moer and the others.

"We've been out for a long time. Beishan'ao is too remote. It's hard to send a message. If we don't go back, your brother-in-law will be worried."

Shen Yinyin was in a hurry to go home, but she was very worried about her brother and niece. This was normal. Just now someone came to the house and had a fight. They were just a father and daughter living at the entrance of the village. How could she be worried? Shen

Yinyin: "If the Tians come to the house to make trouble again, don't open the door. It's okay during the day, but I'm afraid those murderers will come and do something bad at night. The two sisters surnamed Tian are not good people." Shen Moer comforted her: "The autumn harvest will come next. Everyone is busy harvesting during the day, and the brigade will organize militia to patrol the fields at night. Nothing will happen." Shen Yinyin was still very worried: "Even if the Tians don't come to find us during the autumn harvest, we'll still be fine." Shen Moer comforted her: "Even if the Tians don't come to find us during the autumn harvest

, we'll still be fine.

What about after the autumn harvest? When winter comes, it will be so cold outside and every household will stay at home with their doors closed. Who will know what will happen then? Hey, Shaoyuan, if you ask me, Moer will be eighteen after October, and it is time for her to find a partner. Didn’t you say you wanted to find a son-in-law? Then hurry up and find one. It will be better for the three of us to live together than just you and your daughter, right?

" Shen Yinyin was worried again: "Your family is in good condition now, with a house and you have a job, but there are not many people willing to be a live-in son-in-law these days. Even if there are, the conditions may not be very good, and you have to be on guard against someone who wants to eat up the whole family, which is really a bit difficult."

Shen Shaoyuan laughed immediately: "Look at how worried you are, isn't this just worrying about nothing? My Moer is so beautiful, has a good personality, and is so capable, it's hard to attract a son-in-law. How difficult can it be to find a live-in son-in-law? There is no rush. You can't just rush to find a partner and get married just because of a few scumbags, right? Moer is going to be a teacher in the brigade primary school next. Everything else can be discussed after her job is settled. "

When Shen Yinyin heard that Shen Moer was going to be a teacher in the brigade primary school, she was overjoyed and felt that Shen Shaoyuan was right. When Shen Moer had a job, it would not be difficult to find a live-in son-in-law. After

giving some more instructions, Shen Yinyin left with her two sons.

When she came, she thought her brother was going to starve to death. She was so anxious, but when she left, she was very happy. After all, her brother's family was going to be more and more prosperous.

After Shen Yinyin and her family left, Shen Moer asked her father curiously, "Is this what the team leader wanted to talk to you about?"

Shen Shaoyuan explained the whole story and said proudly, "This way you don't have to go to work anymore. Even if you help with the autumn harvest, you can do some easier work."

Shen Shaoyuan had actually been thinking about finding an easy job for his daughter, but it was really hard to find a job these days, and an easy job was even harder to find. He had been in the commune for two months and hadn't found a suitable one. Who would have thought that the right job would come to him.

Yes, Zhou Mancang felt that the right job was coming, but Shen Shaoyuan also felt the same way.

Shen Moer was also very happy. Farm work was not her strong point. As a princess who grew up in luxury, even if she had the memories of the original owner, she was not able to adapt to farm work under the scorching sun. Being a teacher was much easier, especially teaching painting... Well, she just had to teach those children the same way her father taught her. It was very simple.

"The painting techniques they use here are very different from what I taught you. It just so happens that I have some experience after thinking about it recently, and I will teach you all of them later." "Okay

, I will try to draw a few simple and easy-to-learn teaching plans later."

The father and daughter quickly discussed it.

The next day, Shen Shaoyuan went back to work at the kiln factory. One reason is that he has indeed rested for too long recently. Although he came back a few times and did some urgent work, strictly speaking, he has not worked properly for more than ten days, so he has to return to his job as soon as possible.

Another reason is that it is more convenient to inquire about news in the commune. The large group of people who were taken away by the police station yesterday did not come back last night. Shen Shaoyuan also wants to inquire about the follow-up situation.

Recently, the commune has been quite peaceful. The autumn harvest is approaching and all the brigades are quite quiet. Even Liu Yinshuang from Songshu Brigade is said to have not caused any trouble. It is precisely because of this that two groups of people from Yangliu Brigade fought over the issue of marrying a wife. This news spread in the commune that day.

以至于徐衛國聽說這件事還牽扯到沈紹元的閨女時，眼睛瞪得比牛眼睛還大：“敢情就是為了娶你閨女才打的架啊？”

沈紹元簡直無語，把前因後果簡單解釋了下，說：“所謂娶媳婦兒根本是子虛烏有，甚至說楊柳大隊兩撥人打的群架也并不準确，其中一撥人是砂山大隊的。”

徐衛國：“聽起來，這砂山大隊的人腦子屬實不太正常。”

跑到別的大隊叽叽歪歪找茬，這不是擎等着被人揍嗎？

Xu Weiguo couldn't help but sigh: "Your daughter has a bit of the smell of beauty... Hey, how about I ask my man to find a partner for your daughter?"

He had met Shen Shaoyuan's daughter before. On the day when Shen Shaoyuan came to recommend himself when they were busy with the slogan prints, he didn't pay much attention to her at that time. Now looking back, the girl seems to be really good-looking.

Xu Weiguo felt that Shen Shaoyuan had only this one daughter, and he could definitely use his strength to marry the child to the commune.

Shen Shaoyuan said directly: "I want to find a live-in son-in-law for her."

Xu Weiguo: "..."

It is still possible for a rural girl to marry into the commune, but it is completely a dream for a rural girl to find a live-in son-in-law from the commune.

Xu Weiguo tried to persuade her, "Don't be so stubborn. Actually, you are just a daughter. You should marry a son-in-law, and the son-in-law will definitely take care of you in your old age. What good son-in-law can you find? I tell you, I know a few guys in the commune, and their conditions are quite good..."

blah blah.

With the idea of ​​casting a wide net to catch some and throw them back into the river, Shen Shaoyuan finally agreed to Xu Weiguo to take a look first.

So that day, Shen Shaoyuan not only went to work, but also agreed to a blind date for his daughter. When he was about to get off work, he learned from Xu Weiguo about the follow-up of the gang fight as he wished.

Those who participated in the fight and whose crimes were relatively minor were detained in the police station for three days. Tian Fang, Tian Cui, and Wang Jinbao were identified as the main culprits and had to be detained in the police station for half a month. They would be released near the autumn harvest. Then Wang Jinbao had to apologize to Shen Lingling and give her 20 yuan in financial compensation for his suspected hooliganism.

It is said that because of the 20 yuan in financial compensation, Tian Cui and Tian Fang had another fight in the police station.

After getting the news he wanted, Shen Shaoyuan went home happily after work.

He believed that the 20 yuan in financial compensation was not just for Tian Cui and Tian Fang to fight in the police station. The twenty yuan would make Tian Cui more certain that Tian Fang had bad intentions from the beginning. Even if she gave the money now under pressure from the public security, it would plant deep resentment and even hatred in Tian Cui's heart. With Tian Cui's character, she would definitely not let it go. She would probably find fault with Tian Fang in the future.

The two sisters were biting each other, and they probably didn't have the energy to find fault with him and Moer for the time being.

The relationship between the two sisters was not deep enough. Such a simple attempt to sow discord caused them to fall apart.

Shen Shaoyuan thought to himself, unlike him and his brother, who had experienced so many attempts to sow discord and conspiracies since childhood. If it weren't for the rebels attacking the city, the two brothers would still be fine.

So he couldn't be blamed for instigating them, they were just too selfish and greedy.

In the next few days, Shen Shaoyuan went out early and came back late. He worked in the commune during the day and had to "cook the small stove" for Shen Moer at night. The father and daughter discussed what to teach the children and how to teach them.

Soon it was the first day of school. Shen Shaoyuan rushed to the commune after breakfast. Shen Moer changed into a clean and patched clothes and went directly to the brigade headquarters. Then, she was led by the brigade leader Zhou Mancang to the village primary school.

The primary school of Yangliu Brigade was established in response to the call to "build schools at the doorsteps of poor and middle-class peasants". There were only two classes before, and when they recruited another batch of students this fall, there would be no more than three classes. It should be enough with two teachers, Cheng Tao and Shen Lingling.

So when Zhou Mancang brought Shen Moer into the primary school office and said that he had secured an extra teacher quota for the school, and the school would have three teachers in the future, Shen Lingling was completely shocked.

"What, Shen Moer will be a teacher in the village primary school in the future?!"
