At first Huang Yuelan didn't think it was a big deal, but when she saw so many people from the same village gathering around her, looking at the prizes she had won with envy and expressing their heartfelt emotions, she suddenly felt that she was indeed quite impressive.
Although she thought so in her heart, Huang Yuelan still acted very humble and could not appear too proud.
A great leader once taught us: Humility makes people progress, and pride makes people fall behind!
"It's really not a big deal, I'm just lucky. If someone else went there, they would have noticed it too." Huang Yuelan said modestly to everyone.
"Yuelan is so modest. I pass by your house every day and never noticed it. I think you have such big eyes. You are really very careful."
Another villager also agreed: "That's not the case. There are many people passing by on that road. No one else noticed it. Only Yuelan was careful."
"Yuelan is good at handwriting and drawing, and she is very meticulous. It would be great if she could be a teacher in our village to teach children how to draw! Our children will surely have beautiful handwriting and drawing." One of the villagers with children suggested.
"Your suggestion is great. We have three children who all go to school. We have to get up before dawn every morning and rush to the next brigade to go to school. If we have Yuelan to teach in our village, it will definitely be convenient and she will teach well."
This proposal was immediately recognized by everyone. After all, Huang Yuelan was a high school student in the commune. There were only a few people in the entire commune who were able to get into high school. Therefore, she was truly an excellent student and there was no need to worry about her cultural level.
In addition, people didn't know it before, but everyone knows it now. Yuelan's handwriting and paintings are the best in the commune. If she dares to say she is second to none, no one dares to say she is first. They are better looking than those in propaganda posters. If we let her teach children, everyone will feel at ease.
Huang Yuelan heard that being a primary school teacher was indeed a good thing. After all, there was a fixed salary, and even in times of famine, she would be one of the first to be protected by the country.
But now I'm pregnant and there's no one to take care of the baby, so I really don't know how to do it.
"You guys are so smart. Yuelan is pregnant now, how can she help you teach the child? You only care about yourself and don't even think about others."
"Yuelan, don't be angry. We just think that you are good at writing and drawing, and it would be a pity if you didn't become a teacher."
Huang Yuelan smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm not angry at all. It's okay for me to be a teacher, but it's useless for you to just tell me about this matter. I have to tell the team leader and ask him to let me be the teacher."
It was rare for Huang Yuelan to speak up. Although there was nothing we could do for the time being, as long as Huang Yuelan was willing, it would be fine. In the future, letting her teach her own children would save her a lot of worry, and the children wouldn't have to travel too far.
After answering everyone's questions, Huang Yuelan went home with love for the country and the people, after all, there were several children waiting for her at home.
After waiting for Huang Yuelan to leave, the villagers went to the brigade headquarters and told the brigade leader Fan Ming about their proposal: let Huang Yuelan be the village teacher, teaching the children to study or draw.
As the team leader of the village, he is responsible for serving the villagers. Not only does he have to ensure agricultural production and do his best to ensure that the villagers have enough food to eat, but he also has to pay attention to all aspects. The cultural construction of the village has always been a headache for him.
Before this, some educated youth came to the village with great difficulty, so the team leader Fan Ming quickly built a village primary school, and also thought of inviting the educated youth to be teachers in the village after the buildings were completed.
However, their superiors learned that their village was a small one and might not even be able to support itself, so they transferred the educated youth to a village with a larger population.
Fan Ming originally wanted to explain the situation. Even though there was little land in the village and the harvest was not good, he was still willing to give food to the educated youth.
However, when I arrived at the Youth League Office, I found out that another village had the same idea as I did, and also wanted the Youth League to become teachers in the village.
Only then did Fan Ming realize that the educated youth in his team had been kidnapped.
The educated youth were not objects, and the higher-ups would not allow the team leaders below to snatch them away like this.
Fan Ming could only blame himself for his bad luck. If there were more educated youth coming to the team next time, they must not be snatched away by other teams.
Talent is scarce in rural areas, so it is normal for them to be snatched away. Of course, you have to meet a team leader who values talent.
If you encounter some team leaders who do not value talents and are as narrow-minded as some villagers who think that educated youth are just here to steal jobs, then the result can be imagined. Many times, thoughts determine actions, and corresponding things will be done based on what ideas you have.
Huang Yuelan can also be considered an educated youth. Although she dropped out of school because of her father's accident, her qualities in all aspects are no worse than those educated youth who went to the countryside to work in the fields. If she were to be a teacher in the village, it would indeed be a very good choice.
"This is a good suggestion. I will discuss it with Comrade Yuelan. As long as she agrees, we will try to set up the first grade of the village's primary school in the early spring of next year." Team leader Fan Ming assured the villagers.
Naturally, the villagers started to praise him again, saying that the team leader was wise and a good official who served the people, etc.
Huang Yuelan had not yet returned home. When she arrived at the foot of the mountain, she saw her two younger brothers and their children waiting for her at the gate.
"Mother! Mother! Mother is back!"
The children were very happy and pointed at Huang Yuelan and talked loudly.
Huang Yueqiang and Huang Yuehu's attention was focused on what their sister was holding.
There was a red washbasin and a red towel, and the two nephews also had some notebooks in their hands.
The two of them couldn't help but think: We have enough washbasins and towels at home, and my sister didn't go to the supply and marketing cooperative, so these shouldn't be things my sister bought.
Since it wasn’t bought, and my sister was just called to the brigade headquarters, it was most likely a reward from the brigade.
Thinking of this, the two brothers Yue Qiang secretly felt happy and proud for their sister.
After a while, Huang Yuelan arrived at the gate of the courtyard.
"Sister, is this the reward our team gives you?" Huang Yuehu asked.
"Yes, these were just brought back from the brigade headquarters." Huang Yuelan replied.
Huang Yueqiang and Huang Yuehu swiftly took the things from their sister's hands and looked at them carefully again and again.
"Sister, this washbasin is so beautiful, and the big words on it are of commemorative value!" Huang Yueqiang said on the side.
Huang Yuelan took the notebooks and pencils and said, "These notebooks and pencils are given to you by our president so that you can study hard and make progress every day."
When they heard that it was a gift from the president, the expressions of the two brothers immediately changed.
"Sister, is this something the president gave to us?"
Huang Yuelan nodded, "Yes! Look at the words on it, Red Flag Commune!"
The two brothers took it and looked at it. As expected, there was a stamp on the notebook and "Red Flag Commune" was written on the top of the letter paper. It was indeed used by the president.
"I can't bear to use it. I want to keep it well."
"I do the same. Whenever I feel lazy, I take it out and read it. I immediately feel motivated to study."
Huang Yuelan couldn't help but smile when she saw her two younger brothers holding a stack of notebooks and letter papers as if they were treasures.
