Chapter 60 Chapter 60 A role model for others, Teacher Fu (revised)...
Shen Moer arrived at the commune compound early in the morning. It was a large yard with a row of two-story brick houses. Geng Liming's office was in the innermost one on the second floor. The clerk Feng Wei led her into the office. Geng Liming picked up the thermos and poured a glass of water onto the tea table. He smiled and said, "Comrade Xiao Shen, please sit down."
Shen Moer thanked him and sat down. Geng Liming sat back behind the desk and said straight to the point, "Old Zhou should have told you that the commune has taken advantage of your award to secure an extra quota for regularization from the county. You should go to Xiao Feng to fill out the application form, and the formalization procedure should be completed before the New Year."
Shen Moer smiled and thanked him. Geng Liming asked, "Your father is doing very well in the commune. If the kiln factory had not refused to let him go, I would have wanted to bring him to the commune. What about you?" Do you have any idea of working in the commune? "
Shen Moer was surprised before. Isn't it just a regular job? The commune secretary even came to talk to her. Now she understood after hearing what Geng Liming said. It turned out that the commune wanted to change her position... Zhou Mancang didn't seem to know about this, otherwise he would definitely tell her. Moreover, Zhou Mancang had racked his brains to set up an art class for the brigade primary school. He probably didn't want this class to be discontinued after just one semester. As for
whether she wanted to work in the commune.
Shen Moer blinked and asked, "Do teachers in the commune primary school get paid more than teachers in the brigade primary school?"
Geng Liming was startled, "No, if the organization level is the same, the salary is the same."
Shen Moer smiled and said, "Then I'll continue to stay in the Yangliu Brigade Primary School. Secretary Geng, you should know that I just got married not long ago, and I can't just leave my Fu Zhiqing alone in the village."
Well, in fact, not being able to leave Fu Mingze alone in the village is just an excuse, and Fu Mingze doesn't care about this. But if the salary is the same, Shen Moer really thinks it's not necessary to go to the commune to work. It's not enough to go back and forth, and the village is so good, everyone is familiar with each other, and it's more convenient to find someone to chat with than the commune.
In fact, Shen Moer is not very ambitious. She is a little princess raised by an idle prince. If she was too ambitious and fantasized about inheriting the throne and becoming an empress, her grandfathers would not have needed the rebels to kill her. She would have been beheaded long ago.
Their goal has always been to live a carefree and comfortable life.
Although they have worked hard and actively strived for various opportunities after arriving in this world, it is because the foundation left by the original owner and his daughter was too poor. If they were not more active, they would starve to death.
But in a situation like this, the salary is the same, but the work is harder, Shen Moer will not do it.
She is a "feudal remnant" who is used to pleasure. She is really not like a person of this world. She should talk about ideals and beliefs, selfless dedication, and work for the country and the people, but the premise is to live a good life.
Without a small family, how can there be a big family?
Geng Liming: "..."
In his position, most people in front of him would shout slogans and express their attitudes. Even if they are fighting for the interests of their respective brigades and members, they would have to whitewash it. He really hasn't seen such straightforwardness for a long time.
Geng Liming tried to persuade him, saying, "Your brigade is not far from the commune, so you can't leave him alone in the village, right? The kiln factory distributes houses very quickly. You can transfer your share over there, and you and your daughter can get a nice house. Then the whole family will live in the commune, and your son can ride a bike back to the brigade to work, or ask the kiln factory to consider whether they can arrange a temporary job for him. This is all possible. Besides, you are teaching in primary school now, and I will go to the kiln factory to work." We are considering transferring you to teach in junior high school. There is a ceramic factory in our county. If students can learn some painting skills before graduating from junior high school, they will have more advantages in the ceramic factory's recruitment. I still hope you can think about it carefully. "
In fact, learning to paint also requires talent. Dongfanghong Primary School and Qianjin Middle School in the county have art classes, but there are still very few people who can really learn well. So even if the ceramic factory does not recruit many workers, they are still very welcome if they have outstanding skills.
Before, Zhou Mancang asked for a quota for private teachers, and he also moved them with this reason. The commune wanted to give them a chance to see if there are one or two good seedlings. If there are really good ones, they can be sent to Qianjin Middle School to continue their studies.
It was totally unexpected that Teacher Shen's level was so good, so several leaders of the commune thought, why send her to Qianjin Middle School, since they also have a middle school in their commune!
She can win awards in the province, so her level must be no worse than the teachers of Qianjin Middle School, but Qianjin Middle School has never won awards in the province.
Their commune middle school can definitely take advantage of this opportunity to overtake others!
It was a good idea, but Shen Moer was unwilling to be transferred to the commune, which was something Geng Liming had never expected.
Although the commune was not a county town, but the members of the brigades in the surrounding villages, who didn't want to come to the commune to work as a worker and eat commercial grain?
Unexpectedly, it was unexpected that Shen Moer was unwilling to do so.
Shen Moer did not refuse: "Okay, I'll go back and discuss it with my dad and the others."
Geng Liming was helpless and could only do this. He would ask someone to do Shen Shaoyuan's work.
Shen Moer quickly went to find Officer Feng to get the regularization application form, filled it out on the spot and handed it in.
After leaving the commune compound, Shen Moer strolled to the dormitory of the textile factory. It was rare that the door of Qiaojie's house was open. Qiaojie was sitting at the door sewing clothes. When she saw Shen Moer, she put down her work, let her in, and closed the door.
"I'm not selling buns anymore. I made a few steamed buns this morning. Can you take two?" Qiaojie asked.
The stove was empty, and the steamers that were usually stacked on the stove were gone. Shen Moer thought for a moment and asked hesitantly, "Is it the neighbor who is causing you trouble?"
Qiaojie took out a jar of brown sugar from the cupboard, made a bowl of brown sugar water for Shen Moer, and then sat down at the table and said, "Yes, I was informed of this two days ago. Fortunately, the person who came to buy the buns was from the factory and had a good relationship with my family. We insisted that it was just a small exchange between friends, and the leader of the factory also came over to help. After talking, the matter was finally settled, but I certainly can't do it again in the future. "
She smiled mockingly: "Their family wants to force me to live here and move out to make room for them. It's wishful thinking. I won't leave. When my child grows up, he will come back to study. Oh, I can wait with them, but their son can't wait forever without getting married."
Qiaojie has always been a man of few words. Every time Shen Moer came, she was working hard. She is actually a little weak and introverted, but when it comes to children, her eyes are particularly firm.
After her husband died, they were left alone and had encountered a lot of things. If she was always weak, then this family of old and young would really not be able to survive.
Shen Moer chatted with Qiaojie for a while, and didn't ask for her steamed buns. It was not appropriate to take things out of her house at this time. For people like Qiaojie, the commune would arrange some odd jobs for her, such as pasting paper boxes. It would be no problem for her to make a living, but it would be a bit difficult for her to take care of the elderly and children at home.
Walking to the house with the pomegranate tree in front of the door, the door was half open, and the woman with more white in her eyes was hiding behind the door and staring at Shen Moer. Shen Moer walked over directly, and the man was startled and slammed the door.
"Hey, why is my hand so itchy even though I haven't eaten the buns? I really want to find someone to beat me up." Shen Moer stood at the door and said loudly.
The woman hid at the door and said in a low voice: "You, you, you, what are you doing standing at the door of my house? Be careful or I will call the police to arrest you."
Shen Moer smiled and said: "Oh, I am also afraid of the police. It's okay, I will come again at night." Shen Moer
left after she finished speaking. However, the woman in the house did not dare to open the door for a long time. She was also very nervous when she went out to the toilet at night, for fear that someone would really hit her with a club.
Even if she bought a bun, she would not hit her, she was afraid of Sister Qiao, and Sister Qiao's hoe ambushing her.
After returning home that day, Shen Moer told Fu Mingze and Shen Shaoyuan what Secretary Geng said. Shen Shaoyuan was speechless: "The kiln factory distributes houses quickly, but that is compared with the textile factory. In fact, it is still based on seniority. This is different from becoming a regular employee or getting promoted. Houses are more sensitive than others, so it is basically impossible to jump the queue. I have only been in the kiln factory for a short time, how can I be eligible for a house allocation?"
Shen Shaoyuan shook his head: "I can't go. For the same salary, I have to spend so much more effort in vain, and teenagers are much more difficult to teach than those who are only a few years old."
Fu Mingze glanced at his father-in-law silently. He didn't expect his father-in-law to say that. After all, everyone valued dedication these days. If the commune wanted to create more employment opportunities for students, most people would agree.
But then again, most people would not refuse to be transferred from the brigade to the commune.
Shen Moer nudged Fu Mingze: "What do you think?"
Fu Mingze picked up a piece of scrambled eggs for her and said, "I'm fine with either. It depends on what you like. If you are willing to go, we can find a way to rent a house in the commune, so that you and Dad can be closer to work. If you are not willing, forget it. It's good for us to stay in the brigade, but it's hard for Dad to travel back and forth."
Shen Shaoyuan glanced at him and thought, look at how good this boy is at talking, no wonder he is so happy every day because of his daughter's coaxing.
Shen Moer smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go to the commune and report back. I'll still stay in the brigade with you."
Shen Shaoyuan: Tsk.
However, it was not that easy to get a permanent job. Two weeks after Shen Moer submitted her application, the commune suddenly received a notice that there were new changes in the regularization of private teachers this year. It was no longer reported by each commune, but all qualified people would take a regularization exam together, and the quota would be allocated according to the exam results. Geng
Liming thought this was a bit strange. There was no such statement before. How come the county changed its mind as soon as they submitted the application? He made a special trip to the county education bureau, and after finding out what was going on, he rushed to the director's office and slammed the table: "It was originally a flexible quota, and it was reasonable to give it to Shen Moer. The biggest beneficiary of the painting competition is your education bureau, not to mention that it was County Mayor Gu who approved this matter. You can't coordinate among yourselves, and you do this?! We are art teachers, why should we take cultural exams with others?! You recruit Taoist priests and you test Buddhist scriptures. Aren't you... What is playing the piano randomly? ”
Director Du of the Education Bureau also had a hard time saying, “Old Geng, this is really hard for me to handle. Not only is there a problem with internal coordination, but there are also leaders in the county who are trying to persuade us. We did consider giving this quota to Xinxiang Commune, but now they say you are breaking the rules and taking advantage of it. It’s really hard for us to handle this!”
It was because of the fussing that he thought about it and thought it would be better to just take the exam directly. Those who are capable will stay, and those who are not will get out.
This is the fairest thing to do.
As for whether art teachers should also take cultural exams, someone brought it up during their discussion. Even if they teach art or music, since they are people's teachers, they should still have basic cultural literacy, and at most they can be given a few extra points.
In the end, it was decided to add five points.
"Old Geng, you said that art and music teachers can get five points. In fact, among all the private teachers in the county who meet the application requirements, only Shen Moli can get extra points. I have helped her get five extra points. I really tried my best." What else
could Geng Liming say? He said that Old Du is a coward. As the top leader, he can't even deal with such a small matter?
The second-in-command in their bureau is quite old, having worked in the education system for decades, and his personal connections are deep-rooted and complicated. It is indeed not easy for Lao Du to be the bureau chief.
Geng Liming returned to Liuqiao Commune with a lot of anger.
In the evening, when Shen Shaoyuan got home from work, he told his daughter and son-in-law about this matter.
The person who brought him the message was Feng, who spoke a lot of official jargon at the beginning, saying that the county had specially carried out reforms this year to promote the formalization of private teachers in a more open, fair and just manner, and that with the efforts of the main leaders of the county education bureau and Secretary Geng, Comrade Shen Moer had won an extra five points, and hoped that Comrade Shen Moer would seize the time to review her lessons and get good grades, etc., and only mentioned at the end that the education bureau was also for the purpose of better implementing this work due to the limited quota.
What else did Shen Shaoyuan not understand?
Although he had never been in the officialdom, as a prince, he was actually surrounded by the officialdom. He
understood, and he understood too well.
Promoting the openness, fairness and justice of the regularization of private teachers means that the non-disclosure system cannot be implemented anymore. There are people wrangling inside, so the only way is to make the examination public.
The leaders of the Education Bureau and Secretary Geng worked hard to get an extra five points for Moer, which means that someone is unwilling to give Moer extra points, or even someone is deliberately targeting his Moer.
It is easier to understand that the quota is limited.
It is probably because there are not enough quotas. His Moer has an extra chance to be regularized because she won an award. It was said before that the commune and County Magistrate Gu had obtained an extra quota. From this point of view, it is probably that there is a problem with this quota.
Since there is a problem with this quota, it makes sense that someone deliberately targeted his Moer, and it is probably because of this quota.
Some people may think that it is not necessary to go to such a big fight just for a quota of regularization of private teachers. Shen Shaoyuan does not think so. He has seen many examples of life-and-death struggles for a little benefit in the inner court of the imperial palace. It is really possible to go to
such a big fight for a quota of regularization. After all, work is very important in this world. Not to mention that formal teachers earn much more than private teachers, with such a job, if you are a woman, you may find a better in-law family, if you are a man, you may marry a wife with better conditions. Under certain conditions, the job can be passed on to children, and young people can avoid going to the countryside to join the production team if they have a job... I heard that in some places, fathers and sons turned against each other for a job, and relatives plotted their lives. So it is not surprising to go to such a big fight for a quota of regularization.
What Shen Shaoyuan thought of, Shen Moer and Fu Mingze naturally thought of as well.
Fu Mingze thinks that the county's choice of examination is actually quite good, fair and just, and does not give people a reason to criticize. Moreover, "Moer will definitely have no problem with the examination."
Private teachers basically teach in primary schools, and their overall education is mainly in junior high school. His wife's junior high school grades are not bad, and she has been self-studying high school courses. She has no problem self-studying liberal arts subjects. He has been helping her with math, physics and chemistry, and Fu Mingze knows her level very well.
Shen Shaoyuan is also very confident in his daughter: "Well, Moer has always been very smart, so there will be no problem."
Shen Moer smiled and said, "Since you are all so confident, it seems that I must be very confident too."
However, confidence is one thing, and temporary preparation is still necessary.
After washing up at night, Shen Moer turned on the light and leaned against the bed to read the textbook. Fu Mingze crawled into the quilt and glanced at his wife. He found that she was reading very seriously and didn't even glance at him. He couldn't help but lean over and kissed her: "The light is too dim. Reading like this will hurt your eyes."
Shen Moer blinked and did feel a little sad. She said helplessly: "But the time is so tight. I can't go to school at night. Look, there is not much time left during the day. If I don't review hard, I will feel unsure. It will be too embarrassing if I fail the exam."
Fu Mingze glanced at the textbook in her hand and said, "Take a break. I will tell you later."
His wife probably had good grades in Chinese. Fu Mingze rarely saw her reading the Chinese textbook, but she spent a lot of time on mathematics, physics and chemistry.
Shen Moer simply put down the book and turned to look at Fu Mingze: "You tell me."
Fu Mingze leaned over and kissed her, and said vaguely: "Take a break first and then tell me." As he said that, he pressed her neck with one hand and held her cheek with the other, slowly deepening the kiss.
Shen Moer pushed him at first, saying softly that she still needed to review. But after he grabbed her hands and put them around her waist, her weak will collapsed and her hands unconsciously rested on his neck.
She couldn't help but shivered until her chest felt slightly cool. Then she heard a "click" and the sound of something falling to the ground. Her chaotic mind suddenly became clear. She couldn't help but pull her Fu Zhiqing's hair hard: "Aren't you going to start the class after a break?"
Fu Mingze was pulled so hard that it hurt. He bit her with a smile and a small red mark was left on her tender white skin, like a plum blossom in the snow in winter. Fu Mingze couldn't help but kiss her again before he sat up lazily: "Okay, let's start the class."
He held her in his arms, recalled the contents of the textbook he had seen before, and started to explain the examples.
Shen Moer got up and took the textbook back from under the bed. She took a quick look and found that what Fu Mingze said was actually the part she had seen before. Moreover, he explained it clearly and concisely, which was much more efficient than reading a book bit by bit to understand.
Shen Moer simply leaned back into his arms, listening to him and playing with his slender fingers.
Fu Mingze glanced at her: "How can I continue to talk if you are like this?"
Shen Moer looked at him and said with a smile: "Teacher Fu is a role model for others."
Fu Mingze pinched her chin and kissed her hard, and then Shen Moer pulled her hair again. He had to calm down, sort out his thoughts, and continue to talk.
The hair seemed to be a bit long, and his wife was always right.
The efficiency of the lecture was not high. After all, Fu Zhiqing, who was a role model for teachers, had to slack off from time to time. However, at least he finished teaching the parts that Shen Moer originally wanted to see.
After the lecture, Fu Zhiqing asked his wife for labor remuneration in a stern tone, and the two of them quarreled for a long time.
The next morning, both of them got up late. When they got up, Shen Shaoyuan had already gone to work. There was porridge in the pot, but it didn't look like anyone had eaten it. It was estimated that Shen Shaoyuan got up to cook the porridge and left in a hurry without eating it.
Shen Moer glared at Fu Mingze: "It's all your fault."
Fu Mingze smiled like a cat that stole some fish, with a good attitude, and responded repeatedly: "Well, it's all my fault. I will ask the team leader for leave later and go to the commune to ask Qiaojie to make some steamed buns for us, so that our father won't have nothing to eat if he gets up early."
Shen Moer: "..."
Was it her father who got up early? It was obviously because he was too noisy that she got up late.
But Shen Moer was not afraid that Shen Shaoyuan would be hungry. There were biscuits in her father's room. He must have eaten before going out. Moreover, he went to the commune and must have bought breakfast at the state-owned hotel.
Her father was not the kind of person who would go to work hungry.
The young couple ate breakfast in a hurry and went out.
Shen Moer was walking towards the village, and she met Zhou Mancang on the way. Zhou Mancang frowned and asked, "I heard that something went wrong with the regularization?"
Shen Moer was surprised: "Where did you hear that?"
Her father brought the news back from the commune. Zhou Mancang had not been to the commune yesterday. Where did he get the news so early in the morning?
Zhou Mancang's expression was not very good: "Zhang Junliang brought back the news. Your second aunt was nagging in the village early this morning. She said that the county must be fair and just, and must select through examinations. There will be no backdoors for certain specific people. She also said that their Shen Lingling also meets the requirements for applying for the examination. Shen Lingling entered the commune with Zhang Junliang early in the morning."
Shen Moer understood. She had forgotten that there was Zhang Junliang who traveled between the brigade and the commune every day. She said: "It is indeed necessary to take an examination, It's okay, the exam results are good, everyone should strive for it with their own strength. "
Zhou Mancang was relieved to see that she was confident, but he was still dissatisfied with the county's arrangement: "Forget about others, you won the award with the children, how is this different from others!"
Shen Moer comforted: "As long as you pass the exam
, it's all the same." Isn't there still a chance, what if you don't pass the exam? It's clearly a legitimate quota, and if you don't pass the exam, you will lose it.
Zhou Mancang was still a little worried, but he didn't say these sad words in front of Shen Moer. After all, the county has decided, and they can't change it. Now they can only hope that Shen Moer will do better in the exam and pass smoothly.
"Oh, by the way, there is a letter for you. I put it in my pocket yesterday and forgot to give it to you." Zhou Mancang took out a letter from his pocket, "It seems to be sent from the provincial capital."
Shen Moer took the letter and took a look. The sender was written on the lower right corner of the envelope: Chen Jiahua, the first workshop of the Southern Province Embroidery Factory.
