Become a burden in a period novel

The construction of the school for Qianshan Brigade has begun, and the recruitment of teachers should also be put on the agenda.

"When do you think we will have the exam?" the team leader asked the branch secretary sitting next to him.

"Have you found the test paper?" the branch secretary asked.

"Not yet. We should set a time first so that we can notify them to prepare." The captain scratched his head.

"Okay, let them have a good New Year. Even if the school is repaired now, students can only come to class after the New Year. Why not just hold the exams in the first month of the year so that they can have a peaceful New Year." In fact, this way they always have something on their mind and cannot have a peaceful New Year.

But if we decide on the candidates right after the exam, those who failed the exam will not only have a bad New Year, but it will also make them have a bad New Year.

This period of time has caused them a lot of headaches, and he doesn't want it to happen again.

"You mean, take the exam in the first month of the year? But is that in time?" the captain asked hesitantly.

"How can it be too late? It's our own primary school anyway. We can still decide when to start school." The branch secretary didn't take it seriously. He just wanted no more people to come near him.

One by one, they don't think about how to improve themselves, and always think about taking detours. Alas! It is these educated youth who have led the simple young people in their brigade astray.

After setting the exam time, the team leader continued to check on the progress of school construction.

Xie Chengxuan brought back a lot of old clothes. He went to the cowshed when no one was around.

Although these clothes are old, the cotton inside is newly made and is still very warm.

"Chengxuan, we are living a good life already, so you shouldn't come here so often." Old Hou didn't want to implicate Xie Chengxuan. Recently, more and more players came to see Doctor Bai, and this cowshed was no longer safe. If he came here like this, he would easily be seen.

"Master, don't worry, I'm very careful." Xie Chengxuan patted the back of the old man's hand.

He knew that he must not be discovered, but Doctor Bai had already started treating patients and he had been feeling a little unwell recently, so if he was discovered, he would say that he was here to treat patients.

"You are always so willful. You can't rely on luck when doing things. You must know that there is always a chance of error. One negligence may make all your efforts go to waste!" Old Hou taught his apprentice.

"Master, I understand." Xie Chengxuan nodded and admitted his mistake.

"Okay, Chengxuan is already this old, and he has always behaved in a measured way. You don't have to worry about so much." Doctor Bai came over and interrupted Old Hou from educating his grandson.

"What do you mean by having a sense of propriety? If you really had some sense of propriety, you wouldn't have kept running over here!" Old Hou said angrily.

Although their lives are better now, no one can guarantee that they will always be so good in the future. The old man needs to talk more about the truth of being prepared for danger in times of peace.

Xie Chengxuan couldn't argue with his master and could only listen to him chattering carefully.

Xie Chengxuan didn't stay for too long. After delivering the things, he sat for a while, listened to Mr. Hou's teachings, and prepared to leave.

Until he left the cowshed, Xie Chengxuan didn't think about anything else and went straight home.

"You, aren't you afraid that Chengxuan won't want to come again?" After Xie Chengxuan left the cowshed, Doctor Bai said to Mr. Hou jokingly.

"It would be better if you didn't come!" said Mr. Hou angrily.

He naturally knew that Xie Chengxuan cared about him, but it was precisely because of how much this disciple cared about him that he could not implicate him.

Since he came here, he has caused a lot of trouble for Xie Chengxuan. Xie Chengxuan should have had a better future, but now he is trapped in this small mountain village and cannot make a breakthrough, which makes him feel that he owes him a lot.

"You're just showing off, Lao Hou!" Their relatives and friends all drew a line between themselves and them when they got into trouble, and even the best relationship they had in the past was of no use.

But Lao Hou actually accepted a good apprentice. He not only took care of him, but also sent his own son to join the team and take care of him.

When Mr. Hou heard this, there was some light in his eyes, but then it dimmed again.

"I'm the one who dragged him down." Old Hou sighed again.

His body couldn't hold on for much longer, but it was this body that kept Xie Chengxuan trapped in the mountain village.

"Don't say that." Doctor Bai knew that Mr. Hou had been depressed, which was not good for his health. "I think Chengxuan is a man with his own ideas. He must have his own plans."

If Xie Chengxuan didn't want to, he wouldn't have stayed here all the time. That kid is a capable person.

"Besides, the current situation is so chaotic. Although this brigade is a bit remote, it is at least safe. Don't think too much."

At this time, Professor Chen and his wife came in from outside, "Chengxuan has been here?"

Professor Chen saw the bag placed aside and thought that the only person who would send so many things was Xie Chengxuan.

"Yes, I came here to deliver some old clothes. I heard from Chengxuan that they have all been cleaned." Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh.

In their current situation, it was impossible for them to be picky about clothes. As long as they were wearable, it was fine. However, Xie Chengxuan still washed the clothes for them before sending them over.

Seeing how bulging this bundle is, I'm afraid the cotton in these cotton-padded clothes has also been re-boosted.

Professor Chen's wife went over to open the bundle and prepared to sort out the things inside.

"Chengxuan is so meticulous." If he were still teaching at the university, he would definitely introduce him to a good girl, but now he couldn't believe his own judgment.

When Xie Chengxuan returned to the yard where he lived, Zhang Jiayu was sitting in the yard and Wang Juan was cooking in the kitchen.

"You're back. Dinner is almost ready." Zhang Jiayu greeted Xie Chengxuan as he saw him walk in.

Ever since Wang Juan and her husband came over, he was completely freed from the work in the kitchen.

He didn't mind being taken advantage of by Wang Juan and the others. After all, Zhao Hui and Wang Juan were nice people. Even though they would take advantage of him, they would compensate him in other ways.

"Let me put the things back into the house first. I'll come out to wash hands and eat in a while." Xie Chengxuan raised his hand, indicating the things he was holding.

"Okay, then we'll wait for you."

After a while, Wang Juan came out of the kitchen and said, "The meal is ready. Is Xie Zhiqing back?"

"Yes, he's in the room and will be out soon." Zhang Jiayu nodded, "Is Zhao Hui not back yet?"

"He won't be back for lunch, so let's eat first." Wang Juan would not sit at the same table with them, so she separated their food in the kitchen and then brought her own food to the room where the couple lived to eat.

Since Wang Juan and her friends moved in, they have eaten a lot of good food from Xie Chengxuan and Zhang Jiayu, so they took the initiative to take charge of the kitchen and yard cleaning chores.

Wang Juan was actually very grateful to Xie Chengxuan and his family for taking her and her in. They had originally wanted to rent a house from a fellow villager, but Zhao Hui said there was an empty house that had not been renovated, so they thought of asking Xie Chengxuan what he thought.

Unexpectedly, Xie Chengxuan agreed as soon as they mentioned it, but he asked them to renovate the house themselves.

It took some time for them to find someone to renovate the house, and they moved in after they got married.

In order to prevent them from feeling burdened, Xie Chengxuan and Zhang Jiayu asked her to cook and take care of the meals for the four of them.

Originally, she had to cook, but now she was just cooking for two more people, and they would bring back some meat from time to time.

They did not eat the meat alone, but brought the couple to eat together. This made Wang Juan and the others feel that they owed Xie Chengxuan and Zhang Jiayu even more.

But they had everything they needed, and she and Zhao Hui hadn't thought of anything they could do in return, so they could only do more work to make their lives easier.

When Xie Chengxuan came out, Zhang Jiayu had already served him the meal.

"Thank you!" Xie Chengxuan sat down, picked up the chopsticks and prepared to eat.

"I heard that a female educated youth came to see you." Zhang Jiayu asked curiously.

"Who told you that?" Xie Chengxuan raised his eyebrows.

"Someone saw it. What did she want to see you about?" Zhang Jiayu knew that Xie Chengxuan was very popular with these women, but he had always been rude to them.

"Nothing." Although he didn't like Dong Shaofang's behavior and the tone of her voice when talking to him, he was not the kind of person who would talk about others behind their backs.

"Are you really not going to be a primary school teacher?" Zhang Jiayu confirmed again.

Xie Chengxuan made a lot of efforts to build the school. Outsiders may not know, but his half-roommate knows it very well.

With this relationship, as long as Xie Chengxuan wanted, he would definitely be a primary school teacher. But he had asked Xie Chengxuan before, and he said he would not be a teacher.

"I have other plans, and I'm too lazy to deal with children." Xie Chengxuan shook his head.

"So what do you think about me becoming a teacher?" Zhang Jiayu came over with interest and asked Xie Chengxuan for his opinion.

"I don't think it's that great. You don't need those work points, so why bother yourself with this hardship?" Xie Chengxuan exposed him directly.

"You look down on me, so why don't you allow me to have a desire to teach and educate people?"

"You are misleading the students!" Xie Chengxuan did not give Zhang Jiayu any face.

"Okay, okay! I never thought about becoming a teacher anyway. But I see Wang Juan and Zhao Hui both have ideas. If Wang Juan passes the exam, we will have to cook for ourselves again." Zhang Jiayu sighed.

"So?" Xie Chengxuan didn't know what he meant by this.

"I want to ask you, do you think they can pass the exam?"

"You don't want them to pass?"

"No no."

"That's it. Let's just rely on their luck. If they are well prepared and lucky enough to pass the exam, we can discuss how to eat. If they fail, everything will be as usual!" Xie Chengxuan continued to eat and didn't take this matter to heart at all.

"That's true, but you really don't know what to test?" Zhang Jiayu thought that the captain thought so highly of Xie Chengxuan, and might ask for his opinion.

"I'm not taking the exam, why are you asking about this?" Even if the captain really asked him to see the test paper, he didn't want to get involved in this matter.

"You are so boring!" Zhang Jiayu shook his head, "Hey, leave two pieces for me!"

While he was talking, Xie Chengxuan picked up the meat from the plate and put it into his bowl. He quickly reached out his chopsticks to grab it.

Although they could often eat meat, it was not much, and they just tasted it.

Just like the dish in front of you, although it is fried meat, there are only a few slices of meat, and the rest are vegetables.

After dinner, Xie Chengxuan collected the bowls and plates and put them back in the kitchen. He originally wanted to wash them directly, but Wang Juan took them over and told him to go back and rest.

Xie Chengxuan went back to his room.

After returning to his room, he took out the letters he had received today from his father and mother.

It seems that his mother still hasn't forgiven his father for his going to the countryside. Xie Chengxuan smiled bitterly and then opened his mother's letter first.

My mother's letter was full of concern for me, and it also contained a lot of money and tickets. It seemed that she was worried that I would starve here, as there were plenty of food coupons in the country.

Xie Chengxuan counted and felt that his mother should have sent her one-month supply. Feeling his mother's care for him, Xie Chengxuan said sorry to his mother in his heart.

Then he opened the letter his father had written to him, which also contained words of concern for him.

Of course, this is only on the surface. The letter also hides the father's concern for the master's health, and his advice to him not to take any big actions for the time being.

Thinking of the previous strict inspections in the county, Xie Chengxuan vaguely felt that some storm was about to come.

I just hope that this time the "storm" will not affect his family.

After reading the letter, Xie Chengxuan took out the letter paper and prepared to write to his father and mother respectively. He didn't know whether the two letters could reach his parents before the New Year.

While Xie Chengxuan was writing a letter, Qin Wangshu was also writing a letter.

She was writing to Zhou Hongying. In addition to asking about her recent situation, she also wanted to ask her if she could get some more defective cloth.

Qin Wangshu gave away some of the fabric she had given him before, and in the end he made a few sets of clothes for herself.

Later, because it was cold, Qin Wangshu had no winter clothes, so Aunt Luo made a cotton-padded jacket out of her single clothes.

If Qin Wangshu waits until next year when the weather gets hot, she won't be able to take off her cotton-padded jacket, so she can only ask for help from her external aid.

When the letter was almost finished, Qin Wangshu wrote in the letter that he saw a lot of beautiful stamps at the post office. Thinking that he wrote letters frequently, he bought some more and gave a few to Zhou Hongying along with the letter to share.

Qin Wangshu also wrote in the letter, asking Zhou Hongying to see if there were any nice stamps at the post office near her place, and that she could buy some for her and she would pay for it.

That's the city, so there should be more stamps there than here. Zhou Hongying in Qin Wangshu also likes this kind of beautiful things. Now that I've told her, she should buy some to keep at home.

When some stamps appreciate in value, she should be able to make some money! Even if she doesn't buy stamps, she will treasure the one I gave her. When she really needs it, I will remind her to sell it.

However, Qin Wangshu felt that he should have a lot of money at that time, so he could buy the stamp back.
