Today was the day for the second round of screening. In order to take care of the two children, Gu Qinghuan could only send them to Chen Fengqin's house to play with Erdan for a day.
Because he knew exactly when he would be back, Gu Qinghuan also brought them some lunch rations, a dozen large meat buns.
Chen Fengqin repeatedly said that her family was in need of food for their two children, but Gu Qinghuan had no nerve to take advantage of others. Nowadays, everyone's family is rich and they would have to eat a few mouthfuls of food at the end of the day.
After taking care of the two children, Gu Qinghuan set off.
She left relatively late, and by the time she arrived at the assessment classroom, almost everyone was there.
But she was not late, it was everyone else who came too early.
Lin Xiaomeng invited Gu Qinghuan to sit next to her, and Gu Qinghuan walked over.
Everyone waited until nine o'clock, and a few teachers from last time came, along with a middle-aged man with gray hair, who seemed to be the leader, and everyone followed him unconsciously.
Gu Qinghuan guessed that he should be a leader like the principal.
Sure enough, the leading teacher Shao said that the gray-haired man was Principal Chen of the commune school.
Principal Chen made two symbolic remarks, which roughly meant that he hoped everyone would perform well today and that he looked forward to having capable teachers join the big family.
After that, the assessment started directly according to the order of yesterday's draw.
Principal Chen and those teachers were judges.
People went in one after another, and when they came out, they all had sad faces, obviously not satisfied with their performance.
Everyone is competing for these positions, so naturally everyone hopes to be a stepping stone for others. So it is normal for those who have come out to keep silent about the situation inside and want to give hints to those who have not been assessed.
Before I knew it, more than two hours had passed.
Gu Qinghuan continued to sit there calmly, waiting for her number to be called.
Lin Xiaomeng was calm at the moment, but she felt like she was sitting on pins and needles. Finally, it was her turn.
"Come on!" Gu Qinghuan symbolically cheered her on.
"Okay!" Lin Xiaomeng went in.
About half an hour later, Lin Xiaomeng finally came out and No. 8 went in.
She walked to Gu Qinghuan excitedly and seemed a little dazed when she sat down.
Then he whispered in Qinghuan's ear: "Qinghuan, I feel like there is hope. Just now, several teachers were very satisfied with you, and even the principal praised your style."
Gu Qinghuan said in a low voice: "Then congratulations to you in advance."
"Thanks to your reminder yesterday, my overall performance today was still not good.
By the way, you draw the questions yourself, and everyone has the same questions, but it seems that there are only two subjects: Chinese and mathematics.
The one I drew was Yong Goose, which was relatively simple, and I had some understanding of it, so the result was not bad." Lin Xiaomeng reminded her in her ear.
"Okay, I got it, thank you!" Although Gu Qinghuan had guessed it herself, she was grateful that someone was willing to tell her.
"Come on, you can do it."
Lin Xiaomeng sincerely hoped that Gu Qinghuan could pass the exam. Instead of being a colleague with someone else, it would be better to be with Gu Qinghuan. At least they would have some friendship.
As for Jiang Xue, her hopes were high, since she ranked eighth in the written test and was at the back of the draw for the second round of assessment.
Not long after the two finished talking, No. 8 came out, and it was Gu Qinghuan's turn to go in for the assessment.
Lin Xiaomeng also said to her: "Come on!"
Gu Qinghuan straightened his clothes and walked into the examination classroom calmly.
There were several teachers and principals sitting below the podium. A teacher came over with a stack of papers and asked her to draw one.
Gu Qinghuan picked one at random.
"Please give an impromptu lecture based on the topic on the paper. The time limit is within half an hour. Be ready and you can start."
Gu Qinghuan drew the topic of plum blossoms
A few plum blossoms stand in the corner of the wall, blooming alone in the cold winter
I know it is snow, for its subtle fragrance
This is a poem that you must learn.
I was only given this poem and it took me half an hour to explain it. It is actually a very simple thing, at least for a novice teacher.
Who is Gu Qinghuan? This question stumped her.
She walked calmly to the podium, picked up the chalk, and wrote the poem on the blackboard. Every stroke was very beautiful, and the people sitting below nodded repeatedly.
Even the principal, who had been frowning just now, nodded unconsciously.
He thought this lesbian was too pretty and not suitable to be a teacher. However, her handwriting impressed him and he began to reflect on himself, thinking that he should judge people by their appearance.
After Gu Qinghuan finished writing on the blackboard, she pretended to be a student and asked the "students" to recite it with her three times, correcting the pronunciation of the words.
"Plum Blossoms" is a five-character quatrain written by Wang Anshi, a poet in the Northern Song Dynasty.
Before talking about poetry, let’s learn about this poet with the teacher.
Wang Anshi, also known as Wang Anshi, was a Han Chinese from Fuzhou. He was a famous thinker, politician, writer, and reformer in the Northern Song Dynasty. He is known as one of the "Eight Great Writers of the Tang and Song Dynasties" along with Han Yu and Liu Zongyuan.
He served twice as the co-minister of the Secretariat and promoted new laws. After being dismissed from his post as prime minister in the ninth year of Xining, he lived in seclusion and died of illness in Zhongshan, Jiangning. He was posthumously named "Wen" and was also known as Wang Wengong.
His political reforms had a profound impact on the social economy of the late Northern Song Dynasty, and already possessed the characteristics of modern reforms.
So under what circumstances did he write this poem?
In the first year of Xining, he advocated "opening up the treasury of the rich" to save the "poor", enriching the country and strengthening the military, and carrying out comprehensive reforms.
As his opponents slandered him, in the spring of the seventh year of Xining, there was a severe drought throughout the country, starving people were displaced, and Wang Anshi was dismissed from his position as prime minister.
In February of the following year, Wang Anshih was appointed prime minister again.
In the ninth year of Xining's reign, he was dismissed from his post again. He became disheartened and gave up his reforms. He then retired to Zhongshan.
At this time, Wang Anshi's lonely and difficult situation had something in common with the plum blossoms that stand proudly in the snow and frost, so he wrote this poem.
The meaning of the poem is: Those plum blossoms in the corner are blooming alone in the severe cold.
Why do we know from afar that the pure white plum blossoms are snow?
Because the plum blossoms emit a subtle fragrance.
The first two lines describe the plum blossoms on the corner of the wall, which are afraid of the severe cold and bloom proudly alone. They are eye-catching, easily known by people, but not appreciated by people, yet they are not afraid of the cold.
The "corner" environment highlights the appearance of a few plum blossoms in a simple house, blooming alone. It shows that the poet lives in a bad environment, but still insists on his own attitude.
"Blooming alone" highlights the plum blossom's fear of cold and its unwillingness to follow the crowd. Although it is in a remote place with no one around, it still blooms in the cold. It is about the quality of the plum blossom, but also like describing the character of a person.
The last two lines focus on the subtle fragrance of plum blossoms. "Knowing from afar" means that the fragrance comes from far away, faint and obvious. The poet has a keen sense of smell, a unique eye, and is good at discovering.
“놊是雪” means that it looks very pure and white from a distance, but you know that it is not snow but plum blossoms.
"An Xiang" refers to the fragrance of plum blossoms, which symbolizes a person. The plum blossoms bloom alone in the cold weather, which is a metaphor for noble character. The subtle fragrance is refreshing and symbolizes his overflowing talent. "
