"I wholeheartedly accept Captain Han as the principal. All of our new educated youth have received help from Captain Han and Sister Li Xue!"
“Except for Captain Han and Comrade Yang Baiyi, no one else really has this kind of prestige.
Comrade Yang Baiyi is now the village doctor, so the only suitable candidate left is Captain Han."
…
Yang Baiyi's proposal was unanimously approved by everyone.
"Bai Yi, I may have let everyone down. I'm not as good as you say, and I have my own selfish motives.
Xiaoxue is pregnant and will not be able to do heavy physical labor tomorrow. I beg everyone to give Xiaoxue a teaching position.
In exchange, I will stop being the principal, and next year I will lead everyone to work in the fields."
Han Fei first gave Yang Baiyi an apologetic look, then looked at Li Xue with eyes full of tenderness.
"Captain Han, except for you, none of us are suited to be principals."
"Sister Xiaoxue has been doing farm work for five years. It's her turn now. We're not in a hurry."
"That's right, I'm just speaking for myself. Comrade Captain Han and Sister-in-law Li Xue have been awarded two places."
"Sister Xiaoxue, you are finally going to be a mother, congratulations!"
…
Contrary to Yang Baiyi's expectations, although everyone wanted to get a teaching position, when they heard the news that Li Xue was pregnant, they still showed their style and took the initiative to give Li Xue a position.
"This is inappropriate. Everyone knows how valuable the spots are. I'm already incredibly grateful that you secured one for Xiaoxue. How can you shamelessly take up two?"
Han Fei tried his best to refuse.
"Captain Han, everyone is willing to let you be the principal and let Sister Li Xue take up a position. That means you have done a good job. Don't refuse."
Yang Baiyi was very satisfied with everyone's performance, and it was worth it for him to hunt to improve everyone's lives.
It was not the first day for them to go to the countryside to work in the fields. Now everyone knew that farm work was not easy, but they still gave the pregnant Li Xue a place without hesitation.
"I won't say anything hypocritical anymore. Thank you everyone."
Han Fei and Li Xue stood up and bowed deeply to everyone present.
"We're only recruiting first graders this time. We need four teachers and a principal. Excluding Captain Han and Mrs. Li Xue, there are still three vacancies.
How are these three spots determined? Is it by voting or drawing lots?
Yang Baiyi asked for everyone's opinions.
"Let's draw lots. Drawing lots is fair. Who gets to be a teacher depends entirely on luck."
He Yingying said casually.
"Okay, Comrade Cui Jinfa, bring me some paper and pen."
For the eight new educated youths, plus the four of Zhang Hui, Yang Baiyi prepared a total of twelve small pieces of paper, three of which had words written on them.
He crumpled the paper into a ball, shook it in his hand, and scattered it on the table.
The paper balls look exactly the same from the outside, and whether you can get a spot depends entirely on your luck.
Li Yuan was ranked third and drew a spot. The little girl was so excited that she almost jumped up.
"Sister-in-law Li Xue, we will be colleagues from now on."
Li Yuan took Li Xue's arm and shook it excitedly.
Immediately afterwards, Dong Yiming, who ranked seventh, also drew a spot.
Dong Yiming did not show any happiness, but glanced at He Yingying.
There are five paper balls left, and only one spot left. Those who haven't drawn yet are getting a little nervous.
After four consecutive empty paper balls, He Qingkui got the last spot in the last paper ball.
He Qingkui and Li Yuan were both very excited, Dong Yiming seemed to be hesitant to speak, and the others who didn't win the prize were relieved after a brief period of disappointment.
You can't blame others for your bad luck. He Qingkui got the last spot from the last paper ball. That's luck.
"Comrade Yang Baiyi, can I give my place to Comrade He Yingying?"
Just as Yang Baiyi was about to leave, Dong Yiming finally plucked up the courage and asked hesitantly.
"Sure, the spot is yours, and you have the right to give it to anyone."
Yang Baiyi's gaze kept moving between Dong Yiming and He Yingying, making both of them feel a little uncomfortable.
"Dong Yiming was willing to give up his place, and He Yingying did not refuse.
Comrade Yang Baiyi, if my guess is correct, the two of them must be having an affair."
Cui Jinfa came over with a smug look on his face.
"If you can't talk, just shut your hole. What do you mean there must be adultery?"
He Yingying glared at Cui Jinfa, causing a burst of laughter.
"Comrade Dong Yiming is great. I wonder if other comrades will give up their places to female comrades?"
Zhang Chunling glanced at He Qingkui casually out of the corner of her eye.
He Qingkui pretended not to understand and didn't even look at her.
He Qingkui had been working in the countryside for three years, and the road back to the city was nowhere in sight. He almost no longer had any hope of returning to the city.
Now that such a good opportunity is right in front of him, how could He Qingkui give it up because of an irrelevant person?
He failed to catch up with Yang Baiyi, and now he starts to morally blackmail himself. That's impossible.
He Qingkui was still counting on this job to earn more work points so that he could find a girl he loved and marry in two years.
Seeing that He Qingkui didn't respond, Zhang Chunling had no choice but to stop talking and just looked at Li Yuan and He Yingying with envy.
"Okay, now that the quota has been decided, I will report it to the captain."
Yang Baiyi ignored Zhang Chunling, said goodbye to everyone and went to the brigade headquarters.
After Chen Baiwang got the list, he had no objection. He had a good impression of Han Fei and his wife and believed that Han Fei was indeed the most suitable candidate for the principal.
Chen Baiwang immediately wrote a big-character poster and posted it on the wall at the entrance of the brigade.
That afternoon, Huang Qiuxia, who got the news, went straight to the educated youth compound.
"Captain Han, isn't this inappropriate? I'm also a member of the educated youth. Why didn't you inform me about such a big thing as selecting a teacher?"
Huang Qiuxia asked angrily.
With the monthly allowance from her family, Huang Qiuxia has never worked, but she is still very tempted by the job of a teacher.
Teachers don’t have to go to work, they can get full work points just by teaching, which is also decent to say!
Although Huang Qiuxia felt that her parents should subsidize her, if she could earn work points without suffering, her parents would also be proud of her, right?
"Wow! What a rare guest! If you hadn't come over today, I would have forgotten that we were from the same batch of educated youth!"
Before Han Fei could say anything, Sun Dongchao on the side sneered and said indifferently.
"As long as you acknowledge my status as an educated youth, it's fine. How did you determine the number of teachers? I think I'm qualified to be a teacher.
Captain Han, apart from anything else, I think it is unreasonable for you and Li Xuexian to take up two places.
Give me a spot, and we'll let this go. If you don't, I'll go to the Youth League Office and sue you for abusing your power for personal gain."
