Chapter 38
In order to liven up the atmosphere, Lu Qin led the applause, but when he felt it was not enough, he picked up a paper roll and repeated the same sentence by his mouth as a microphone.
"Everyone, applause!"
Clap, clap, clap. A group of people were driven by his enthusiasm and raised their hands uncontrollably.
The applause and cheers were even louder than when we watched the performance just now.
Lu Qin lamented that he had sacrificed too much to pave the way for his sister.
The people from the Dongyang Brigade below were applauding and looking around.
"It's Chun Nong."
"Why do both siblings have shows?"
"You really bring honor to our team!"
They are looking forward to it too.
Applause rang in his ears. Lu Chunnong adjusted his breathing and moved his feet slightly backward. His ears hidden behind his hair suddenly turned red. He didn't know whether it was because he was embarrassed by his introduction or because he was nervous.
Kong Yue's hands, which were originally calmly placed behind his back, had dropped down, clenched and unclenched. Looking from his position, he saw a handsome young man standing on the simple stage with a bright smile on his face. His bright white teeth could even reflect the sun.
He took a deep breath and thought that the massage he gave him yesterday was not light enough, which made him jump so much.
Everyone was crowded together on the brigade square, sitting relatively close together, the applause was right next to their ears. Principal Xu of the commune primary school curiously asked Director Yang next to him, "Did Comrade Lu's sister graduate from high school?"
Comrade Lu is so outstanding, his sister must be no bad either.
Jiang Manzhu heard his question and answered him, "It's exactly what Lu Qin said, I graduated from high school!"
Just when Director Yang wanted to continue asking questions, Lu Chunnong had already closed the manuscript, straightened his slender waist, and walked towards the stage step by step with determination.
Kong Yue watched her leave, and it seemed as if he saw her again as she was back then.
Everyone is sitting, and at this time, as long as one person stands up, he or she will become the focus.
"Look, Chunnong is there!"
Their eyes quickly shifted over. At this time, no matter whether they knew her or not, they all saw the young and beautiful female comrade. She was wearing a plain gray jacket with small light prints and black cotton trousers. She walked calmly and had a graceful demeanor. Looking up, they saw that she had fair skin and short black hair that was combed to the side of her face, making her face look even smaller. Her overall appearance was comparable to Comrade Lu.
Seeing her coming up, Lu Qin stepped back slightly. The two siblings looked at each other, and with encouragement in his eyes, he turned to the audience and said, "Alright, be quiet. Next, let's hand the stage over to Comrade Lu Chunnong, okay?"
The audience was extremely respectful of this bizarre back-and-forth format, and all replied in unison, "Okay! Then, Lu Qin, get off right away."
Lu Qin: What's the rush?
When he was leaving the stage, he stopped and whispered, "Sister, you can do it."
She can recite so much content easily, if she can't, who can?
He was about to leave with a smile on his face, but his eyes suddenly caught the figure in front of him. He felt a little uneasy and turned in another direction to go down the other side.
From a distance, you can see from his back that he exudes a sense of joy and arrogance.
Kong Yue: "..." Go back and wait for him!
Lu Chunnong turned to face the crowd. Seeing so many eyes looking at her, she curled her fingers into her palms and slowly released them.
At that time, because Lu Qin mentioned that there were reporters taking pictures, Director Yang first asked the captain of the Dongyang Brigade to call everyone over and try to get as many people as possible. Secondly, he also called a lot of people himself. Therefore, the people below were not just from the Dongyang Brigade. New faces accounted for another 30%.
"Hello everyone, I am Lu Chunnong from the Dongyang Brigade." A voice as light and pleasant as the gurgling of a spring sounded.
She hesitated for a second before saying, "Graduated from Yuyang County High School."
The principal of the commune primary school has already got the answer from this sentence.
The person above continued, "Children are the flowers of our motherland, the future of our country. Therefore, in the final part of my speech, I mainly want to talk about the problems children face with human traffickers. As a mother, like all of you, my heart is always concerned about my children... Next, I will review three aspects..."
For the next moment, Lu Chunnong began a show of articulate enunciation, speaking calmly and confidently without even glancing at her script. To reinforce parents' concerns, she again touched on the issue of human traffickers using candy to lure children.
She paused mid-sentence, thinking of the interactive elements Lu Qin had specifically requested of her in the manuscript. She turned around and sketched a simple version of candy on the drawing board. There were orange flavored ones, toffee flavored ones...
After putting down the black charcoal, she turned around and hesitated to ask the children below. She was a little worried that no one would answer her, but she asked anyway, "Is there any child who can tell me, would you eat candy from a stranger?"
But what I didn’t expect was.
Niu Dan and the others were waiting for this moment, "Yes!
Lu Qin had already trained them in a 'one-on-one-answer' format, and Lu Chunnong's presentation was so good that the child's parents almost responded. Unable to hold back, they shouted along, drawing laughter from the others.
The children seemed to have rehearsed the conversation. This question-and-answer format was a bit like a classroom, thanks mainly to Lu Chunnong's ability to hold the children's attention. The commune primary school principal subconsciously glanced over and seemed to spot a short kid among the group shouting with exceptional earnestness. Every cell on his face spoke of his seriousness, and he looked away.
As a school teacher, he saw other potentials in Lu Chunnong.
However, this word "yes" immediately attracted the attention of the parents. They felt it was too embarrassing. Several old ladies raised their hands and swallowed the words they were about to say, "Yes, yes, yes, yes, you bullshit! If you eat it, I won't see you nursing me anymore!"
Niu Dan and the others cried and endured humiliation for the sake of candy.
Lu Chunnong continued, "Let me emphasize a few more things..."
In the following time, the principal of the commune primary school observed that the children below did not seem to be distracted.
Lu Qin crossed his arms over his chest, listening to the speech on the stage for a while. Suddenly he thought of something and looked around, but didn't see Kong Dongdong. However, his brother-in-law was there, so he was sure he would be fine.
What they noticed was that the three children were blocking Kong Dongdong.
Qin Shi and Wu Ming stood beside him, looking at the woman from a distance. They already knew the relationship between Lu Qin and the woman above without asking.
Qin Shi couldn't help but praise her, her eyes shining, "Comrade Lu, your sister is excellent."
This speech was actually delivered completely without a script.
Lu Qin didn't hear it, and turned his body to the side. "What did you say?"
"I say, Comrade Lu's sister is excellent!"
"Thank you for the compliment!" Lu Qin's expression was as if he was being praised.
He just hopes that he can get what he wants.
At this moment, Lu Chunnong finished his speech. "Thank you everyone!"
The crowd all took the lead in applauding, "Chun Nong, well said!"
The key is her voice, how come it is so beautiful! And how come she is not nervous? If they went on stage, their legs would have been shaking.
In the impression of the people in Dongyang Brigade, the biggest impression Lu Chunnong gave them was that he brought a burden with him, and he hardly said a word to the women in the brigade.
Lu Chunnong smiled at them, and in the midst of their stunned expressions, he walked down from the side with grace. Unlike the crowd behind that had already started making noise, there was a group of unfamiliar faces sitting upright in front, all in an orderly manner.
She was about to pass by these unfamiliar faces when almost at the same time, seven or eight children suddenly ran over, calling out "Sister Chunnong".
"Sister Chunnong, you are so right. Can we find you later?"
Before Lu Chunnong could react, a short and cute little meatball suddenly squeezed in, "Shrink! Shrinking so well!"
Niu Dan didn't even have time to cover his mouth. When did they let Kong Dongdong come over?
Afraid that he wouldn't get the candy that Lu Qin promised him, he didn't dare to cover his mouth. His face turned red from holding it in.
When Kong Dongdong suddenly appeared and disappeared, Lu Qin's eyelids twitched. He was caught off guard and took a step back. "Comrade Qin, Comrade Wu, you two hold on for now. I'm going to the bathroom."
Qin Shi uttered, "What happened to him?"
"Are you in a hurry to go to the bathroom?" Wu Ming poked his glasses with his index finger.
Lu Chunnong was completely unresponsive, especially to her son's actions. But seeing Niu Dan's face flush, she smiled gently and said, "Don't be impatient. Take your time."
Niu Dan's face turned even redder.
The crowd had probably mostly dispersed.
At this moment, the group of people one meter away seemed to talk to each other, then stood up and walked towards the stage.
Leading the group was Director Yang, followed by their team leader and a few unfamiliar faces.
Principal Xu of the commune primary school looked past the people in front of him and saw Lu Qin's sister surrounded by a group of children. She seemed to be very popular with children, and she did not show any impatience in the face of the children's pleas.
Director Yang smiled and said, "Comrade Lu Chunnong, you did a great job on your final promotion. Even the children remembered it."
Lu Chunnong was so anxious that she pursed her lips and smiled, "Thank you, leader."
As he spoke, he looked at the smallest kid in front of him. He had noticed this kid before. He had shouted the loudest, and his little face was still red. He felt that this kid looked familiar and likable. Maybe all good-looking kids look alike, so he didn't think much about it. "Little kid, come here."
Niu Dan touched his back and said, "Dongdong, don't be nervous."
Kong Dongdong looked at the adult in front of him with his round eyes, sticking out his belly. He seemed to not know what it meant to be nervous or afraid. He looked carefully and said, "Uncle, uncle..."
The young little voice was a little hoarse, from shouting.
Kong Yue had already strode over. He squinted his eyes and looked at his son's appearance. He felt inexplicably familiar with it, and his eyes narrowed.
"Hey!" It turns out he is still a polite child. Director Yang's heart softened immediately.
Looking at such a well-behaved and sensible child, he must be loved by his family. He understood even more the significance of such a publicity campaign to warn against human traffickers.
"You're so good," Director Yang reached into his pocket, took out a candy and handed it to him.
Kong Dongdong subconsciously looked at his mother's expression. Director Yang misunderstood and thought he was afraid that he was a human trafficker. He carefully explained to him, "Don't worry, we are not scammers."
What I was thinking was that Comrade Lu’s speech produced results so quickly.
Kong Dongdong thought about it carefully, then stretched out his chubby hand and a candy fell into his palm. He curved his eyes and said sweetly, "Thank you, uncle!"
He looked like he would smile even happier if given candy.
Kong Yue: “…”
"You're welcome!" He thought to himself, who knows whose child this is.
While Director Yang was communicating with the child, Principal Xu looked at her frequently. He had just observed that even such a young child was willing to approach her.
Noticing his gaze, Kong Yue slightly blocked her.
Principal Xu was stunned. He glanced at the two of them and saw that although they did not act intimately, they seemed to have a tacit understanding. He guessed that he had just offended him, so he nodded to the tall and strong man.
Then I said to Director Yang, "Director Yang, can I ask this female comrade a few words?"
He sorted out his thoughts in his mind.
She graduated from Yuyang County High School, and according to Comrade Lu Qin, she is an outstanding graduate, which shows that she has sufficient knowledge and professional ability. And from her speech just now, she spoke without a script, which proves this point.
Her attitude towards children shows that she is patient and careful.
The child likes to listen and can give timely feedback, which means that the child likes her. Most of these children have the same temperament and innate preferences, but their preferences are generally the same.
These are the qualities a teacher should have.
He witnessed all the above tests with his own eyes.
No matter how much he thought about it, he could never have imagined that a kid would personally design this scene, allowing him to inadvertently see Comrade Lu Chunnong's ability and see the scene of her brief interaction with the child.
Director Yang looked at him, then at Lu Chunnong, acting as a go-between, "Comrade Lu Chunnong, this is Principal Xu of the Commune Primary School."
The principal of the commune primary school extended his hand and, when she looked over, reintroduced himself, "Hello, Comrade Lu Chunnong. I am Principal Xu of the commune primary school."
When Kong Yue said this, his eyebrows jumped, and something flashed through his mind. The smile of the brat flashed through his mind. He might know what the brat was planning.
It only happened in one night, but he was amazing and didn't reveal any information at all.
Lu Chunnong was surprised and reached out his hand to touch him briefly.
"It's like this, our commune primary school is recruiting teachers. You have graduated from high school, would you be interested?" He went straight to the point.
As for the interview, he felt that there was no need for it.
The beginning was her interview, she was talking and the child was answering. Of course, there was also a reason that Comrade Lu had made a good impression on him.
When Principal Xu said this, everyone present had different expressions. Even a fool could understand what he meant, not to mention the educated youth who had finally mustered up the courage to speak.
Jiang Manzhu's hand holding the loudspeaker trembled, and he looked at Kong Yue. How come the matter that was just mentioned yesterday or the day before yesterday was confirmed? But Kong Yue's expression remained unchanged, and he couldn't see through it.
"Thank you, boss, for giving me this opportunity."
When Lu Qin turned out as if nothing had happened, he took a look from a distance and it seemed that the matter was over.
Qin Shi looked around and waved at him. Seeing that he hadn't looked back, she ran over and said, "Comrade Lu, where have you been? We're going to take pictures soon."
The time I squatted was no shorter than the last time I scared those aunts.
Lu Qin had regained his composure and said, "Here I come."
A few people were still talking not far away. Lu Qin approached and said calmly, "Director Yang, I'm sorry, I just had something to do here."
Director Yang patted him on the shoulder with a friendly expression. He had just taken a look at the photos taken by the reporter, and they were simply thumbs-up level.
He motioned him to the side to talk, "Comrade Lu."
Lu Qin looked serious, "Director Yang, you go ahead."
Director Yang glanced in the direction of the reporter and said, "Ahem, here's the thing. I'd like to ask you to explain the specific details of what the reporter will write about later. Especially since the commune principal is here, and you see so many teachers here today, it's enough to show that we are not doing a good job in educating children in this area."
Lu Qin assured him, "Don't worry, Director Yang, I'll talk to him later."
After all, the implementation of his plan depends entirely on Director Yang.
"By the way," he brought up another matter, "Comrade Lu, you and your sister are both great. You should serve the people well in the future!"
Lu Qin's radar moved and his smile became even brighter.
Afterwards, he went to find the reporter, had a heart-to-heart talk with him, and conveyed Director Yang's ideas.
Although the stage has dispersed, the aftermath of the performance lingers.
At Jiang Manzhu's house, several educated youth knocked on his door, but soon left with a look of reluctance on their faces.
After Zhou Guixiang and the others left, they asked, "I came here to ask about the number of teachers in the commune."
Jiang Manzhu nodded. Today, everyone knew that the commune was recruiting teachers, but his mind was now full of Lu Qin's operations today.
He said something that Zhou Guixiang didn't quite understand, "Who told them they didn't have a brother like this?"
It’s true that Lu Chunnong’s level is there.
And such a good brother was wandering at the door with his hands in his pockets, peeking around guiltily.
