A 1970s mom raises a cute baby, and a crazy boss spoils her

Today is the day for the second round of screening. Because it is inconvenient to take care of two children, Gu Qinghuan can only send them to Chen Fengqin's house to play with Erdan for a day.

Because they were not sure about the exact time of their return, Gu Qinghuan also brought them lunch rations, a dozen large meat buns.

Chen Fengqin repeatedly said that her family had enough food to feed the two children, but Gu Qinghuan didn't feel comfortable taking advantage of her. No one was rich nowadays and they could barely get enough to eat all year round.

After making arrangements for the two children, Gu Qinghuan set off.

She left quite late, and by the time she arrived at the examination classroom, almost everyone was there.

But she wasn't late, it was just that everyone came too early.

Lin Xiaomeng invited Gu Qinghuan to sit next to her, and Gu Qinghuan walked over.

Everyone waited until nine o'clock, and the same teachers from last time came, along with a middle-aged man with gray hair, who seemed to be the leader, and everyone followed him consciously.

Gu Qinghuan guessed that he should be a leader like the principal.

Sure enough, the leading teacher introduced that the gray-haired man was Principal Chen of the commune primary school.

Principal Chen said a few symbolic words, which roughly meant that he hoped everyone would perform well today and looked forward to capable teachers joining the big family.

After that, he started the assessment according to the order of yesterday's draw.

Principal Chen and those teachers are the judges.

People went in one after another, and when they came out, they all had sad faces, obviously not satisfied with their performance.

Everyone is competing for these positions, so naturally no one wants to become a stepping stone for others. So those who come out never talk about the situation inside and don't want to give hints to those who have not been assessed. This is normal.

Before I knew it, more than two hours had passed.

Gu Qinghuan continued to sit there calmly, waiting for her number to be called.

Lin Xiaomeng was sometimes calm and sometimes felt uneasy, and finally it was her turn.

"Come on!" Gu Qinghuan symbolically cheered her on.

"Okay!" Lin Xiaomeng went in.

About half an hour later, Lin Xiaomeng finally came out and No. 8 went in.

She walked to Gu Qinghuan excitedly and seemed a little dazed when she sat down.

Then he whispered in Gu Qinghuan's ear: "Qinghuan, I feel like I have hope. Several teachers were very satisfied with me just now. Even the principal praised me for my teacher's demeanor."

Gu Qinghuan also whispered: "Then congratulations to you in advance."

“Thanks to your reminder yesterday, I performed pretty well overall today.

By the way, the questions in it are all drawn by yourself, and each person’s questions are different, but it seems that there are only two subjects: Chinese and Mathematics.

I drew the song Ode to the Goose, which is relatively simple, and combined with my own understanding, the result was not bad." Lin Xiaomeng reminded her in her ear.

"Okay, I got it, thank you!" Although Gu Qinghuan had guessed it herself, she was grateful that others were willing to tell her.

"Come on, you can do it too."

Lin Xiaomeng sincerely hopes that Gu Qinghuan can also pass the exam. Instead of being a colleague with others, it is better to be with Gu Qinghuan. At least they have some friendship.

As for Jiang Xue, there was not much hope for her. After all, she ranked eighth in the written test and her number in the second round of assessment was also late.

Not long after the two finished talking, No. 8 came out, and it was Gu Qinghuan's turn to take the test.

Lin Xiaomeng also said to her: "Come on!"

Gu Qinghuan straightened his clothes and walked into the examination classroom calmly.

There were several teachers and the principal sitting below the podium. A teacher came over with a stack of papers and asked her to draw one.

Gu Qinghuan picked one at random.

"Please give an impromptu lecture based on the topic on the paper. The time limit is half an hour. You can start as soon as you are ready."

The topic Gu Qinghuan drew was Plum Blossom

There are several plum trees in the corner, Ling Han blooms alone

I know it's not snow from afar, because there is a faint fragrance coming

This is also a poem that must be learned in elementary school.

I was only given this one poem and needed to elaborate on it for half an hour, which is actually not a particularly easy task, at least for a novice teacher.

But who is Gu Qinghuan? This little problem can't stump her.

She walked calmly to the podium, picked up the chalk, and wrote the poem on the small blackboard. Every stroke of her writing was very beautiful, and the people sitting below nodded repeatedly.

Even the principal, who had been frowning just now, nodded unconsciously.

He felt that this female comrade was too pretty and not suitable to be a teacher. However, her handwriting made him look at her with new eyes and he began to reflect on himself, thinking that he should not judge people by their appearance.

After Gu Qinghuan finished writing on the blackboard, she pretended that there were students present and asked the "students" to recite with her three times and corrected the pronunciation of the words.

“Plum Blossoms” is a five-character quatrain written by Wang Anshi, a poet of the Northern Song Dynasty.

Before talking about the poem, let’s learn about the poet with the teacher.

Wang Anshi, also known as Jiefu and Banshan, was a Han Chinese from Fuzhou. He was a famous thinker, politician, writer and reformer in the Northern Song Dynasty. He is known as one of the "Eight Great Masters of Tang and Song" along with Han Yu and Liu Zongyuan.

He served twice as the co-minister of the Secretariat and promoted new laws. After being dismissed from his post in the ninth year of Xining, he lived in seclusion and died of illness in Zhongshan, Jiangning. He was posthumously named "Wen" and was also known as Wang Wengong.

His political reforms had a profound impact on the social economy of the late Northern Song Dynasty and possessed the characteristics of modern reforms.

So under what circumstances did he write this poem?

In the first year of Xining, he advocated "opening the treasury of the rich" to save the "poor", enriching the country and strengthening the military, and carrying out comprehensive reforms.

However, opponents continued to slander and criticize him. In the spring of the seventh year of Xining, there was a severe drought across the country, and starving people were displaced. Wang Anshi was dismissed from his post.

In February of the following year, Wang Anshi was appointed prime minister again.

In the ninth year of Xining, after being dismissed from his post again, he became disheartened, gave up reforms, and retreated to Zhongshan.

At this time, Wang Anshi's lonely mentality and difficult situation had something in common with the plum blossoms that bloom proudly in the snow and frost, so he wrote this poem.

The meaning of the poem is: The few plum blossoms in the corner are blooming alone in the severe cold.

Why can we tell from a distance that the white plum blossoms are not snow?

Because there is a faint fragrance from the plum blossoms.

The first two sentences describe the plum blossoms in the corner that are not afraid of the severe cold, and bloom proudly on their own. They are not eye-catching, not easily known, and not appreciated by others, but they don't care.

The "corner" environment highlights the appearance of several plum blossoms blooming alone in a simple house. It reflects the attitude of the poet who still insists on his own ideas despite the harsh environment.

"Blooming alone" highlights that the plum blossom is not afraid of the cold and does not follow the crowd. Although it is in a remote place where there is no one, it still blooms in the cold. It describes the quality of the plum blossom, but also like describing the character of a person.

The last two lines focus on the subtle fragrance of plum blossoms. "Knowing from afar" means that the fragrance comes from far away, faint and unnoticeable. The poet has a keen sense of smell, a unique eye, and is good at discovering.

"Not snow" means that it looks very pure and white from a distance, but you know it is not snow but plum blossoms.

"An Xiang" refers to the fragrance of plum blossoms. The plum blossom is personified, blooming alone in the cold, which symbolizes noble character, and the subtle fragrance is refreshing, symbolizing his talent. "
