Become a burden in a period novel

The news of building a school quickly spread throughout the brigade, and many people were mobilized.

Almost all the educated youth in the educated youth center focused their attention on the teachers in the school. A new school should be lacking quite a few teachers.

Being a teacher would free them from the heavy farm work, so they naturally wanted to be one. But they didn't know exactly how many teachers were needed, but no matter how many were needed, they certainly couldn't all become teachers.

"Xiao Qin, do you want to be a teacher?" Aunt Luo also knew that the brigade was going to build a school. When she heard the news, the first person she thought of was Qin Wangshu, a high school graduate.

"I'll try. Does aunt want me to go?" Qin Wangshu asked.

"What do you mean I want you to go? It's up to you whether you want to go or not!" Aunt Luo pointed her finger at Qin Wangshu's forehead.

"Being a teacher must be easier than doing farm work. Don't you want to go?"

"But being a teacher doesn't give many work points." Qin Wangshu saw very clearly that a teacher's work points could not be full, otherwise those who worked so hard would definitely be dissatisfied.

Qin Wangshu now earns a lot of work points doing farm work, and she has more freedom doing farm work, but if she becomes a teacher she will be trapped in the school.

Prepare lessons, teach classes, mark homework, and even deal with those parents.

Qin Wangshu doesn't think she can have her own time unless she is lazy, but Qin Wangshu is not such a person, and if she doesn't do well, I'm afraid the team will not be able to accept it.

From the day she learned that the school was going to be built, Qin Wangshu had been considering whether she should become a teacher, but she has not made up her mind until now.

"Are you still short of these work points?" Aunt Luo knew that Qin Wangshu had a lot of money. A teacher's work points would definitely be enough to exchange for food rations, and she wouldn't starve. Why didn't she become a teacher?

"Of course I am short of work points." Qin Wangshu said with a smile, "Work points are very important. Auntie, I can almost get full work points now!"

Qin Wangshu was right. Her work points were already on par with some of the women in the brigade, and she still had some spare time. So she said it was very possible for her to get full work points.

"You! Being a teacher is much better than digging for food in the fields." Aunt Luo knew that she was just joking, but from Qin Wangshu's attitude, she felt that she might not want to be a teacher.

"My mother, whom I have severed ties with, is a teacher. I don't think she is better than my aunt, who works in the fields for a living." Qin Wangshu said this with a smile.

Qin Wangshu was obviously smiling, but Aunt Luo always felt that she was aggrieved.

"You, well, it's up to you!" Aunt Luo didn't want to force her anymore, and Qin Wangshu's words also made her feel warm in her heart.

Qin Wangshu was still struggling with this, but the captain's house was filled with visitors.

In the past few days, many people came to the captain's house with things to inquire about the news. These people said that they just came to ask, but the things they brought did not indicate so.

It's not only the team leader's family, but also the branch secretary's family.

They don't take these people's stuff, they just put it in their homes and leave.

The team leader and the branch secretary looked at the gifts that had been put down and didn't know how to send them back without hurting their feelings.

There is no way, since everyone in the Qianshan Brigade has the surname Yang and they are all related.

So the captain called them over for another meeting.

The team leader brought a lot of things, and so did the branch secretary. They looked at each other and saw the same feeling in each other's eyes.

We discussed the teacher issue for a long time, but still couldn't come to a conclusion.

There is no way around it. They are all relatives and have watched these children grow up. It would be bad to choose one or not.

Later, it was Xie Chengxuan who proposed the exam. As for how to take the exam and what to test, he recommended the principal of the commune primary school.

The principal came from another place and had no relationship with the locals, so he naturally would not show favoritism.

"Education is important, but ability is more important. Some people do not have high education, but their ability is better than those who have education. So we should choose those who are capable, not those who have education." Xie Chengxuan put forward his own point of view.

What Xie Chengxuan said was very right, and the captain also agreed. He didn't have any academic qualifications, but he believed that he was no worse than anyone else.

The others also nodded, but then they raised a new question, about the members of the brigade and the educated youth at the educated youth point.

When this was mentioned, they couldn't help but look at Xie Chengxuan, after all, he was also a member of the educated youth.

"It depends on what you want to do. I'm not planning to participate. I'm not interested in being a teacher." Xie Chengxuan said immediately.

The others were not very surprised to hear that he was not planning to be a teacher.

They all knew the abilities of this educated youth Xie. With him around, their brigade had been able to interact with the public sector smoothly over the years whenever they wanted to get something.

The Qin educated youth in front of him is capable and wealthy, so he should look down on the trivial things in school.

"Then how do you say we should find someone?" asked the team leader.

"There's no rush to find people. Isn't the most urgent thing how to build a school?" Xie Chengxuan asked back.

"Okay, then let's continue discussing how to build the school." The branch secretary took over the topic.

More and more people were carrying things to the team leader's house, including educated youth and relatives and friends in the team.

The captain could not allow himself to be corrupt, so he did not accept any of these things. As for those who wanted quotas, the captain ignored any of them.

But now it seems that these educated youth are quite rich, otherwise they would not be able to buy so many things.

Dong Shaofang also bought some things and gave some to the captain. However, she didn't have many connections, so she could only buy some things without tickets. She spent a lot of money to buy some cigarettes and alcohol from some people, but she didn't dare let anyone know.

When we deliver the goods to the captain's house, we always choose a time when there is no one around.

She also bought some things for herself. Although the prices of these things are not high now, they will cost several million in the future.

Dong Shaofang naturally didn't know how much these things would be worth in the future, but she had heard some things that these things were worth a lot of money in the past. Now they have become worthless only due to temporary reasons, but they will definitely be valuable in the future.

Just like the Yuan Datou and small yellow croakers she picked up, these things could not be seen in the light for the time being, so she could only put them in the jar and take them out when things were safer.

Dong Shaofang did not give the captain and his men anything that would attract attention, but she put some cash in the gifts. She spent a lot of effort to deliver these things to the captain and his men's home.

Unfortunately, when the captain returned, the matter had not been resolved.

The branch secretaries rarely worry about it. They also have relatives and friends, so naturally they want to recommend their relatives or friends.

Dong Shaofang had no connections, so she could only use money to pave the way. However, this behavior made the team leader very unhappy, and his impression of her became even worse.

Dong Shaofang sent gifts to several companies, with the main goal of never favoring one over another. Unfortunately, her behavior did not bring any good results, but instead made these leaders have a bad impression of her.

"This Dong Zhiqing seemed like a down-to-earth child before, but now that she's in trouble, we realize she's such a person!" He had lived through war, so he naturally knew the harm of such "sugar-coated bullets".

"You can't judge a person by his appearance, but by his heart. We can't allow such a person to join the teaching team." The branch secretary also spoke.

"Yes, the children in the school are all our own. If we let someone like this teach them, I'm really afraid that she will teach our children bad things."

Several leaders gathered together and took stock of the people who gave gifts, but the one they were most dissatisfied with was the female lead, Dong Shaofang.

Everyone would ask for favors, but only Dong Shaofang made them disgusted, and the reason was simply because of the roll of money stuffed in the item.

If she just sent some things over, they wouldn't feel anything, but she stuffed money into them, and the people with more say stuffed more money into them, while the people without say had no money for the things they sent.

Maybe she didn't expect that leaders like them would share what they have with each other directly.

Qin Wangshu did not go to deliver the gifts. She naturally knew that someone else was going to deliver the gifts, and Aunt Luo did not ask her to go to deliver the gifts.

So she sat in the room calmly, flipping through the high school textbooks of that era. Aunt Luo would sometimes see her sitting by the window reading when she passed by.

Aunt Luo saw her reading a book and knew that she had the intention of becoming a teacher, so she felt relieved. In the morning, Aunt Luo even cooked some eggs and brought them in.

"Auntie, I'm not hungry." Qin Wangshu refused with a smile.

"Studying requires your brain!" Aunt Luo put the eggs on her table without giving her permission.

"By the way, aunt, when I went to the commune before, I saw Sister Yun Duo. She is pregnant. Let's save these eggs for a while. When Sister Yun Duo gives birth, Aunt Cao will definitely need them." Qin Wangshu said to Aunt Luo.

"Yun Duo is pregnant? Your Aunt Cao must be very happy." Aunt Luo also smiled, "We really need to save some eggs, but we can't save any more eggs than we eat!"

Qin Wangshu had no choice but to pick up the boiled egg on the table and crack it open.

She used to like eating boiled eggs very much. After all, there was nothing else to eat, and this was the most convenient way to eat eggs. But later, as she ate more, she didn't like them as much anymore.

But this was her aunt's full love for her, how could she let her down?

Anyway, I have already told my aunt Yun Duo that Sister Yun Duo is pregnant. She should let her eat less eggs in the future.

Building a school has recently become the most important thing for Qianshan Brigade.

After struggling for several days, the team leader and his men finally decided to build a mud house. There was no other way, as they really did not have so much money to buy bricks to build the house, but they still planned to buy tiles.

Houses don’t need bricks, but the roofs must be covered with tiles so that they don’t leak easily.

After choosing the site for building the house, the first thing the team leader did was to take people to the mountains to select wood for making beams.

Xie Chengxuan did not follow them. Although there was already a wall around the cowshed, he still wanted to prepare some warm bedding and clothes for them, so he had been going back and forth between the commune and the county town for the past few days.

Jianzi is a very reliable person. Since Xie Chengxuan got in touch with him, he has never lacked anything. As long as he wants something, Jianzi will bring it to him after preparing the money and tickets.

This saved him from having to go to the black market, saving him a lot of trouble.

Xie Chengxuan was not planning to buy new bedding. He was planning to buy a few old quilts and then re-stuff the cotton inside.

As for clothes, he also planned to buy old ones, wash them, mend them, and give them to his master and others. Such old things would not be too eye-catching when used.

Xie Chengxuan traveled back and forth on a bicycle. This time, after he rode back to Qianshan Brigade, he saw a somewhat familiar figure on the side of the road.

He said she was familiar because she had been around him recently, but he was not going to stop and say hello to her.

"Xie Zhiqing!" Dong Shaofang came forward and blocked Xie Chengxuan's way.

"Dong Zhiqing, is there anything I can do for you?" Xie Chengxuan stopped the car and looked at the female educated youth in front of him, wondering why she called him.

"Xie Zhiqing, I know you have a good relationship with the team leader. I wonder if you can say a good word to him for me?" Dong Shaofang saw Xie Chengxuan's face full of impatience and directly told him the purpose of stopping him.

"Are you talking about the teacher quota?" Xie Chengxuan understood what Dong Shaofang was talking about. He knew that the educated youth had been giving gifts to the team leader's home during this period.

But he didn't expect that Dong Shaofang would come directly to him. Does she have a good relationship with him?

"Yes." Dong Shaofang nodded. Xie Chengxuan helped to make this happen, and the captain would definitely listen to him.

"Why?" Xie Chengxuan asked back with a hint of mockery on his lips.

Qin Wangshu, who had helped him before, would never make this request. So how could this person, who had nothing to do with him, have the nerve to come up to him and make this request?

"I, I can give you some benefits." Dong Shaofang said immediately. She knew that Xie Chengxuan was not short of money, but who would complain about having too much money?

Anyway, Xie Chengxuan doesn't want to be a teacher, so what's wrong with saying something on her behalf?

Anyway, it's just a matter of his words, she won't treat him unfairly, and he helped her, so doesn't she have more reasons to get close to Xie Chengxuan?

"Benefits? I don't lack anything." Xie Chengxuan shook his head, "The selection of teachers this time is very fair. Dong Zhiqing, instead of asking me to speak well for you, you should prepare well.

Anyway, the school hasn't been built yet, so there's plenty of time to prepare. You don't have to rush."

"But, but it's just a matter of your words!" Dong Shaofang bit her lower lip, not understanding why he could be so cold.

"A word? Dong Zhiqing thinks too highly of me. There's nothing I can do about this matter." Xie Chengxuan frowned, avoided Dong Shaofang, pushed his bicycle around her, then rode away.
