"Shi Tou, go cook."
Xia Juhua urged impatiently, "Hurry up! You want to starve your brother to death so someone else can inherit the family fortune? I'm telling you, you're dreaming! These all belong to my son. As long as I'm here, don't even think about taking advantage of my son."
Stone Egg also waved her black claws and shouted, "They are all mine."
"Your brother has lost so much blood, make her some egg custard. If I find out you eat it secretly, I will beat you to death.
If it weren't for you, this unlucky star, why would I be afraid to go out and why wouldn't I be able to earn work points? If there's less food distributed at the end of the year, you'll just get out of my house."
Shitou remained silent and walked into the kitchen with his head down.
The fire in the stove flickered, and the little man was lost in thought.
At this time, everyone gathered at the village chief's house.
"Village chief, what should we do now? Can the children still go to school?"
"Either refund our tuition or find a new teacher."
"My child just told me that he wanted to study, but his teacher got injured. If this delays my child's future, I will never forgive Xia Juhua."
Everyone was talking at once.
The village chief also had a headache.
The refund of tuition fees gave him a headache.
The tuition fees had long been used to buy textbooks and repair the school. Where would he find the money to refund them?
Finding a new teacher is also a headache.
If he could be found, there wouldn't be only Qin Kaishan as a teacher in the water village for so many years.
Someone in the crowd shouted, "Then find those educated youth. They should be able to read."
So the village chief called a meeting of all the villagers.
This means that people with junior high school education or above can sign up to participate in the teacher selection.
You can record six work points every day and get a salary of five yuan per month. Whether you get a ticket depends on the boss.
This made the educated youth very happy, as being a teacher meant they no longer had to carry hoes to the fields.
Moreover, in their opinion, the position of teacher can only belong to them.
So some bold educated youth began to negotiate with the villagers.
"Village chief, six centimeters is too little. Teachers have to use their brains all the time, which is no easier than working in the fields."
"Exactly, and there's not even a ticket. How shabby."
"Five yuan salary is not enough for my last job at the supply and marketing cooperative."
The village chief said with a dark face: "So what do you want?"
Zhou Yue spoke up, "How about this? Ten work points a day, a salary of thirty-five a month, two kilograms of meat coupons, one kilogram of sugar coupons, and one industrial coupon. That's it for now, and I'll add more if I think of anything else."
The village chief opened his eyes wide and looked at these educated youth in disbelief.
"Why don't you just go and rob it? Workers in town only make a dozen or twenty yuan a month, and you're asking for thirty-five! These are the terms. If you're interested, sign up. If not, leave. Asking for extra processing points is out of the question."
Many educated youth were eager to work, and as long as they didn't have to go to the fields, the less work the better.
"We have studied for so many years, it shouldn't be worth even thirty yuan. Besides, there is no one in the entire water village with a higher education than us, right?" As soon as Zhou Yue said this, the educated youth retreated one after another.
That’s right, without any salary increase or anything, they would seem so cheap.
Anyway, there are not many literate people in the water village, so in the end they still have to come to the door begging for help.
No one was in a hurry anymore and just spent time with the villagers.
The village chief quit his job. He only earned twelve yuan a month and was in charge of the village's affairs, but he didn't say anything. These kids had never experienced the harshness of society.
The village chief sighed and said, "Go back and ask each family if there are any students who have gone to junior high school or high school. If so, notify them to come to the brigade tomorrow at noon." After saying that, he turned around and left.
The educated youth were not in a hurry, as if the position of teacher was already in their pocket.
The male educated youth never joined the debate from beginning to end.
Anyway, this position will never be theirs, and even if it is theirs, they won't be able to work there for many days.
After spending some time with this group of female educated youth, they realized that reducing their sense of existence was the way to survive.
Now in the He family’s old house, it has become common to have a small quarrel every three days and a big quarrel every two days.
The villagers were very dissatisfied when they heard the educated youth asking for such exorbitant prices.
But they also knew that what the educated youth said was right.
There are not many people in Shuixiang Village who have attended primary school.
The village chief left the drying yard and went straight to the village clinic.
"Uncle Qin, are you feeling better?"
Qin Kaishan is still lying in bed. He broke his waist after the fall and needs to rest for a long time.
"It's much better, but I can't teach the children in my current state. It's delaying them."
"What are you talking about, Uncle Qin? You should take care of your health first."
Qin Kaishan looked at the village chief who was sitting listlessly on the stool and asked, "What's wrong? Did something happen? I can handle it, old man. Tell me."
After much hesitation, the village chief finally told the teacher about his problem.
Qin Kaishan pondered for a while, and suddenly a person flashed through his mind.
"Village chief, if you trust me, go find the mother of Su Yinian (Daya) and Su Yibei (Erya). She's a good candidate."
It took the village chief a long time to realize that Qin Kaishan was talking about Su Qing.
"You mean Su Qing? But I don't even know if she's ever been to school."
"Yes, definitely. She taught her nephews and nieces from her mother's side, as well as her two children."
He felt a little sad when he said this. He had finally met some good seedlings and planned to train them well, but in the end he... Alas, he was so disappointing.
