Chu Jingqiu glanced at her and didn't answer her question directly. "Teacher Wang, are you also a military wife? Which department does your husband work in?"
Wang Cuihua smiled proudly, "Of course I am also a military wife. My husband is Niu Jianfeng, the company commander of the third company of our first regiment."
Chu Jingqiu nodded, "Oh! Then where is your hometown, Teacher Wang?"
Wang Cuihua asked suspiciously, "Teacher Chu from Southern Province, why did you think of asking this?"
Chu Jingqiu smiled and said, "Nothing, I just thought you looked very familiar, like someone I knew before, I thought we were acquaintances!"
Wang Cuihua continued to ask, "Teacher Chu, which troupe is your wife from?"
Chu Jingqiu smiled and said, "From the Independent Regiment."
Wang Cuihua immediately turned around and asked hypocritically, "Really? Who are they from the Independent Regiment? Tell me, I know a lot of people in the Independent Regiment!"
"Xiao Yihan." Chu Jingqiu looked at her with a smile.
Wang Cuihua pretended to be confused and asked, "So it's Captain Xiao! Why haven't I heard that he's married? How can you call someone your lover if they're not married?"
Chu Jingqiu looked into her eyes and asked, "Teacher Wang, you are not asking about your husband, but your lover.
The so-called lover, as the name suggests, is the person you love. The person I love is of course Xiao Yihan. Xiao Yihan is my lover! Is there anything wrong with that? "
Wang Cuihua's eyes rolled behind her thick glasses, and she suddenly said, "If you're not married, you can't be considered a military wife! Then how can you be a teacher...!"
Before he could finish his words, he quickly covered his mouth, as if he had accidentally let the cat out of the bag.
The teachers who were preparing lessons in the office suddenly raised their heads and looked at Chu Jingqiu with complicated eyes.
In that era, people had a high level of ideological awareness, paid attention to social justice and fairness, and opposed social injustice, oppression and exploitation.
These people must have thought that Chu Jingqiu got in through the back door, and she absolutely could not leave such a reputation for herself and Xiao Yihan.
She didn't know where Wang Cuihua's hostility towards her came from, but Wang Cuihua was definitely attacking her with a purpose.
Therefore, she must make this matter clear, otherwise, who knows who will find fault with it in the future!
She sat down, took out a pen and began to draw lightly on the paper. As she drew, she asked, "Teacher Wang, are you saying that I'm not qualified to be a teacher here?"
Wang Cuihua hurriedly waved her hands, continuing to pretend she was indifferent, but in fact she was deliberately slandering her, "No... I didn't mean that... How could I say you are not qualified!
I didn’t say…you came in through the back door…!”
Chu Jingqiu smiled and said, "Yi Han and I are engaged and we are getting married soon. You can say that I am about to become a military wife. This is one reason.
Secondly, what our school lacks most is art teachers. Maybe you don’t know that my father is a painter.
I have been learning painting from my father since I was young. I am good at drawing portraits. I have helped the public security organs of Beijing City and Bei Province solve serious, difficult and important cases many times. I have been commended many times and my achievements have been recorded in the archives.
I feel that I can get this job based on my personal merits.
In addition, if I want to find a job, it would be very easy. Last year, the art troupe specially invited me to join, but I refused.
Yi Han and I are getting married soon. After we get married, I can join the army immediately, and I will also need to be arranged a job after joining the army. After comprehensive consideration, I accepted this job.
I am not the person you despise who got in through the back door."
After saying that, he took out a piece of paper in his hand and said, "Pass it around and have a look. This is a meeting gift from me to Teacher Wang.
I casually drew a portrait of Teacher Wang, and took the opportunity to let the teachers test my painting skills."
Chu Jingqiu handed the portrait to Lu Chunyan opposite her first. Lu Chunyan picked up the portrait, took a look at it, and smiled with her lips pursed.
She handed it to Lu Weiguo, who picked it up and looked at it. He laughed out loud and passed it to the next teacher with a smile.
Everyone passed it around to look at it, and after looking at it, everyone laughed without exception. Finally, the painting was handed to Wang Cuihua.
Wang Cuihua couldn't wait to pick it up and take a look. She saw a cartoon image of herself drawn on it, with an exaggeratedly large head.
He was standing with one foot on a chair and the other on the table, with a mouth almost as big as his head open and spitting out saliva, and was giving an impromptu speech.
Although the cartoon is very exaggerated, everyone can tell that it is Wang Cuihua as soon as they see the character's face.
Wang Cuihua's facial features and expressions are painted vividly, and her movements when gossiping with others are realistically displayed.
When Wang Cuihua saw the painting, her expression turned from red to blue. She knew that Chu Jingqiu was mocking her for being a big mouth and gossipy.
She slammed the painting directly onto Chu Jingqiu's desk and said angrily, "What is this? Are you painting a puppet show? You're painting so exaggerated, and you still say you're good at it. I can't stand it. I'm giving it back to you!"
A female teacher with pigtails next to her rolled her eyes at Wang Cuihua and said, "Teacher Wang, I think Teacher Chu's painting is very good. It looks very much like you. Anyway, I can recognize it's you at a glance.
How about we put this picture on the wall and ask the students to guess tomorrow and see if they can guess which teacher it is?"
Another female teacher with glasses and a long face said, "Xiao Zhang, you know what, I think they look very similar too. As soon as I put them on the post, I can definitely guess who they are."
Wang Cuihua blushed and stammered, "Don't post it. Since you all say it looks like it, if you post it, the students will laugh at you!"
Chu Jingqiu rolled her eyes at her and asked Lv Chunyan across from her with a smile, "Teacher Lv, our army's current policy on accompanying troops seems to be that only the families of officers at the deputy battalion level and above can accompany the troops, right?"
Lu Chunyan nodded. "Yes, deputy battalion commander, or 15 years of service is fine."
Chu Jingqiu smiled and looked at Wang Cuihua. "Teacher Wang, you look young. Has your husband been serving in the army for fifteen years?"
Wang Cuihua choked, beads of sweat appearing on her face. "Hmm, hmm, that's about right...!"
"It's about the same. Teacher Wang, you didn't get to be a teacher here through the back door, did you?" Chu Jingqiu said with a sneer.
Wang Cuihua stammered, "How...how is that possible! How could I possibly do that?
Oh, I remember now, I have to go to the second grade office to borrow a book, let’s talk later!”
After saying that, he ran away as if his butt was on fire.
Chu Jingqiu smiled, stopped talking, lowered his head and began to look through the lesson plan.
Because school didn't start until the next day, there was nothing to do in the morning. Chu Jingqiu just did some preparations before school started and went to check on the dormitory in the backyard.
The dormitory was a row of red brick bungalows. Chu Jingqiu cleaned the room assigned to him carefully, wiping the single bed, table, chairs and other furniture inside.
At noon, Xiao Yihan moved Chu Jingqiu's quilt and other luggage over. Chu Jingqiu put the luggage in the dormitory at the back and followed Xiao Yihan back to the army for dinner.
