"Mom, I have to go to town for a meeting today. Please deal with He Min's matter with my brother and sister-in-law."
Yesterday, the village chief notified Su Qing to go to the town’s primary school for a meeting. I heard that teachers from every primary school had to go.
"I see. What time does your meeting end?"
"I don't know yet."
Because of the meeting, Su Qing went to see Teacher Qin Kaishan.
But Qin Kaishan said that he only held it once during his tenure, and that was when Shuixiang Village Primary School was established, so he didn't know either.
Su Qing suddenly felt that something was wrong, and her right eyelid had been twitching since she woke up today.
As the saying goes, a twitching left eye means good fortune, a twitching right eye means disaster, so she'd better be more careful.
"So are you going there by bike, or taking Xiao Cheng's car?"
"I'll take Cheng Fangyi's car. Leave one at home."
After breakfast, Su Qing took Cheng Fangyi's car to the town.
Cheng Fangyi gave him many instructions and told him to go to the textile factory to find him after the meeting.
"I know, I know. Go quickly, don't be late again."
After bidding farewell to Cheng Fangyi, Su Qing came to the town’s primary school - Yuanshan Primary School.
As soon as you enter the school gate, seven large blue brick and tiled houses come into view, looking very impressive.
It's a world of difference compared to the two shabby unfinished houses in the water village.
Since the village chief didn't say which classroom the meeting would take place in, Su Qing could only walk to each one.
A sharp female voice rang out.
"Who are you and what are you doing sneaking around here?"
Su Qing looked around and found no one, so it seemed that the girl was talking about him.
"I'm looking for a place to hold a meeting."
A hint of sneer flashed across the girl's face.
"You, a village girl, are actually a teacher. What can you teach children? Farming?"
Hey, Su Qing has a bad temper, and the way she dresses makes her look like a country girl.
An ankle-length floral skirt, a fishbone braid, and a headband of the same color tied on the braid, a perfect literary and fresh look.
Besides, it’s easy for her to wear nice clothes, but the experience of Fenglin and others made her decide to keep a low profile.
"I don't know if it looks like it or not, but someone like you who is so arrogant, conceited, and has high aspirations definitely isn't one of them."
After saying that, Su Qing continued to look for a classroom.
When we found it, there were already quite a few teachers sitting inside, mostly male teachers.
After a while, a fat, bald man with big ears came in.
He glanced at everyone in the classroom, and his eyes lit up when he saw Su Qing.
"Ahem, I'm Wang Xiaotian, an officer from our town's Education Bureau. Next..."
So began a long speech, almost entirely devoted to boasting about his achievements.
It was not until the end that he hurriedly got to the point.
“So, this is why I called everyone here this time.
The higher-ups have called on us to conserve all educational resources, so we've decided to merge some primary schools and focus on developing productivity..."
Su Qing felt drowsy after listening to it.
Damn, she finally understood why people always fell asleep in class, because listening to classes and lectures was really hypnotic.
"Next, I'll read out the villages where the primary schools will be closed. Qianhu Village, Houhu Village, Shuixiang Village, Gouzi Village, Hetang Village..."
Su Qing had expected the water village to be closed down because it was too dilapidated.
Every time there is a thunderstorm, it usually rains heavily outside and lightly inside.
If children from the Water Village want to go to school, they have to go to the neighboring Shuiqu Village.
Not only that, the same is true for the children in Qianhu Village and Houhu Village.
“The main thing I want to do in this meeting is to re-select teachers for the primary school.
After the merger, in addition to the primary school in the town, there are three primary schools left, and fifteen teachers need to be recruited. Now it is time for us to elect teachers.
The first person to come on stage is you, the girl in the floral dress."
Su Qing looked around and realized that Wang Xiaotian was calling him.
After a moment of hesitation, he reacted, walked onto the stage calmly, introduced himself, and gave a lecture in one go.
Then came the second, the third...
In addition to the teachers who were already working in the village primary school, there were also more than a dozen junior high and high school graduates, so there were as many as forty teachers participating in the competition.
But... only fifteen are recruited.
Originally, Su Qing thought she had no chance, but after listening to the people behind her, she suddenly became more confident.
Wang Xiaotian also valued her at the beginning and gave her a look of approval.
But after going out for a while, he came back and looked at Su Qing with eyes full of contempt and disdain.
After everyone finished their speeches on stage, Wang Xiaotian began to announce the list.
Fourteen names were read out first, and just when Su Qing thought that he should be the fifteenth, Wang Xiaotian closed the list.
"Okay, there are only so many of you. As for which village you will teach in, we'll draw lots to decide. If you're not satisfied, you can find someone else to replace you. Just report back in a quarter of an hour.
If there is no problem, let’s go.”
"I have a question." Su Qing interrupted him. "Why did you only read out the names of fourteen teachers? Didn't you say you wanted fifteen?"
Wang Xiaotian gave her a look of contempt and said, "Just be happy that I'm giving you a chance to compete. If the village primary school wasn't in such poor condition, you wouldn't have gotten a chance."
Everyone understood.
That means some big leader is trying to force someone in again.
Su Qing, who suddenly lost his job, felt a little unhappy and unwilling.
Especially, when it’s not your own fault.
