"Qinghuan, I'm chosen, I'm chosen!" Lin Xiaomeng excitedly pulled Gu Qinghuan's arm.
Gu Qinghuan looked at her crumpled floral blouse and followed her helplessly.
Yes, both of them were on the list and were selected.
In addition to the two of them, there was another gay man whom I knew who was also selected.
After Jiang Xue read the results, she silently congratulated them and left. She failed the exam.
She has changed a lot now. She used to be so proud, but now she is much quieter and more reserved. Maybe something earth-shaking has happened in her life.
Gu Qinghuan and Lin Xiaomeng followed the school teacher to handle the employment procedures.
It was nothing, just filling out some basic information about myself, and then briefly introducing the work situation to the three of them.
The school has already made arrangements. Lin Xiaomeng will be mainly responsible for lower-level courses, and will most likely be assigned to level one or level two, because she is relatively lively in teaching and is more suitable for teaching younger children.
Nowadays, teachers are all jack of all trades. They have to know a little bit of everything. After Chinese, they teach math, after math, they teach physical education, and after physical education, they teach music.
In short, one teacher can handle the learning of a whole class.
Of course, the premise is that the current student is afraid of the teacher, so he comes to take care of it.
As for Gu Qinghuan, it's pending for now. The principal feels that with her ability, it should be no problem for her to teach a junior high school student, but there are some other considerations, so it's pending for now and she can go wherever she's needed.
The other male comrade, named Hao Zhigao, was a member of another brigade.
The school arranged for him to teach math classes for grades 4, 5 and 6 first, and the assignment would be changed after they officially started working, depending on the situation.
The three of them will work in a temporary large office first, and then make specific adjustments later.
As for accommodation, teachers can go home every day, or they can live in the school dormitory. Each person can be assigned a small single room, but they need to apply for it.
The first thing I did after I started working was to prepare for the new semester with other teachers in the school.
Tomorrow is the day for school registration for the new semester. There are a lot of chores in school and we need them to help.
Of course Gu Qinghuan and the other two would refuse.
It just so happens that Dabao, Beibei, and Lin Xiaomeng's son Dacheng are all going to school today.
After the explanation, they were allowed to leave first, go back to pack up and devote themselves to new work.
"Qinghuan, do you live on campus?" Lin Xiaomeng asked as she walked, she was very hesitant.
"Sister-in-law, I'm going to apply for a room first. I can go home when I want to, when the weather is good or when I want to go home. I can bring the children here for a while."
She can choose whatever she wants! She doesn't have to spend money, which is a well-deserved benefit.
Lin Xiaomeng slapped his thigh and said, "You're right. I was thinking the wrong thing. Let's apply first and live here as we like."
So the two of them went directly to apply for accommodation, and the male comrade named Hao Zhigao also followed them to apply for a dormitory.
The logistics teacher took them to choose a room.
There are many teachers in the school, but not too few either. There are three rows of bungalows in total, which are all staff dormitories, including retired teachers, etc. So it seems that there are not many people.
Some families even live in this small bungalow and don’t know how to accommodate them.
The logistics teacher brought them to this row of houses. Seven or eight houses had already been occupied, and there were still four or five vacancies to choose from.
These are low-rise houses that have not been lived in for a long time and need to be cleaned up before people can live in them.
Gu Qinghuan also gave up and chose a room near the edge. She didn't want to be sandwiched in the middle and too close to others.
Most importantly, the kang in this room looks wrong.
There is a "kitchen" behind each room. It is called a kitchen, but it is actually a simple shed where you can cook and heat the kang. There is only a stove hole, but it is better than nothing.
As for going to the toilet, we either prepared a urine bucket in the room or went to the public toilet in the school.
Lin Xiaomeng chose the room next to Gu Qinghuan. After all, they came from the same place and were familiar with the place, so of course they had to hold each other closer.
Hao Zhigao picked one at random.
Male and female dormitories are mixed, next to each other, without separation.
After all, conditions are limited now, and it would be great if everyone could have a single room, but it's also not picky.
After choosing the house, Gu Qinghuan and Lin Xiaomeng started to get busy.
I will be going to work formally tomorrow, so I have to clean up the dormitory today, otherwise I will have no time later.
The two went home and got some cleaning tools such as brooms and rags, as well as some simple daily necessities, such as bedding, basins, lunch boxes, bowls and chopsticks, and teacups for drinking water.
Gu Qinghuan's house is full of beddings. Xu Huaian just passed away, so there is an empty set of beddings at home. Recently, Dabao has been sleeping with her and Beibei, so the empty set of beddings can be brought over directly.
Lin Xiaomeng's house also had a lot of old bedding that had been replaced before. It was better than nothing, so she would stay there occasionally.
Both of them were very quick and efficient. They first cleaned up the accumulated dust in the house with a big axe and cleared away all the spider webs. Then they wiped the whole house with a rag, and it was basically clean.
The kang is wet, and we can't put bedding on it. It needs to be heated up.
The two of them also came to get firewood.
Lin Xiaomeng was a talkative girl. She took a few White Rabbits and went to the teacher's house who was cooking nearby. She exchanged the White Rabbits for a small bundle of firewood and gave some to Gu Qinghuan. The two of them simply heated the kang.
The kang was dry. Gu Qinghuan touched it and found that the kang was still good and warm. It would be cold when sleeping at night.
Just put the mattress on it and simply put other daily necessities in place, and you can live there.
Of course, this is just a simple tidy up now, and we will have to arrange it properly later.
For example, you have to pull a curtain to separate the kang, and then you can see the kang as soon as you open the door. There is no privacy at all. Even with the curtain, you can occasionally change clothes inside.
You can prepare a small square table and a few small round stools outside the curtain and place them under the window.
It can be used for daily meals, work, and when children are doing homework.
You also need to buy some window paper to cover the windows. In fact, glass is the best, but unfortunately, people in rural areas don’t use glass to seal windows now. The better ones just use window paper, and the worse ones just use newspaper to cover them.
We are still missing a kang cabinet to store clothes and other things. As for the kang table, we can move the extra one from Xu Huaian's room.
In addition, there is a small cabinet to store miscellaneous items, such as food, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and snacks for children.
Basically, after all the arrangements are done like this, this small room is now quite full.
