Become a burden in a period novel
Chapter 146 Buying a Job
Tian Tian and Zhang Jiayu are working together to teach the first grade.
The first grade at Qianshan Primary School can be said to be the most difficult class to teach.
Not only are their ages uneven, but so are their foundations.
Some students spoke incoherently, and some needed the teacher's help to take off their pants. When Qin Wangshu saw these students, he was extremely glad that he was assigned to a senior grade.
But Tian Tian is very good to these students. She takes care of these children with great patience. Zhang Jiayu, who takes care of these children with her, also praises her highly.
Qin Wangshu thought about what happened that night and saw how dedicated Tian Tian was. He felt that he should keep the matter to himself.
Although Tian Tian may have used some means to get the position of this teacher, she is very serious about her work and is kind to these children.
Qin Wangshu didn't want to hurt such a girl. It was a pity that she never found out who that man was.
With a light sigh, Qin Wangshu smiled at Tian Tian and walked towards the office.
Tian Tian also saw Qin Wangshu. Qin Wangshu was the top scorer in the exam. Principal Yang valued her very much and asked her to teach fourth and fifth grades.
It's just that she rarely goes out, so she is not very familiar with Qin Wangshu, the educated youth. Now that they are colleagues, they don't have much interaction.
Tian Tian admired people with good grades. She only studied in junior high school. Although she wanted to go to high school, her family would not support her at all. She was very envious when she thought that Qin Wangshu, who was not even older than her, had already graduated from high school.
Now that she is a teacher, she can leave home and earn work points to support herself. She feels that her life is pretty good.
Just now, when she saw the team leader coming over and sending a few more children, she thought of herself. If it weren’t for the team leader, she would not be able to continue going to school.
She was once a child taken away from home by the team leader.
She was brought to Qianshan Brigade by her mother. Although her stepfather was a nice person, he never thought of sending her to school. It was the brigade leader who came and said that this gave her the opportunity to study.
So she was willing to take care of her younger siblings at home. After all, her health was not very good and she could not do heavy work.
There was no point in thinking about these things. She was now a first-grade teacher and had to look after so many children. She had to be more serious and not let the team leader regret choosing her as a teacher.
The bus from Qianshan Brigade to the county town was as crowded as usual, and Dong Shaofang was lucky to find a seat after getting on the bus.
She sat by the window, so even if the carriage was crowded, she wouldn't be squeezed.
Dong Shaofang did not cast her gaze towards the crowded and crowded carriage, she was staring at the scenery outside the window that was rapidly receding, as if the hustle and bustle of the outside world could not disturb her.
She was a little excited. It would soon be over and she would not have to take this train anymore.
Qianshan Primary School has started school. Every day, there are bursts of laughter and joy in the school. Children carry their schoolbags and walk into the campus happily. The teachers also leave their homes early every day and go to school.
However, all this seems to have nothing to do with Dong Shaofang. She did not take the exam, and she ignored all the news about the school afterwards. But things in the world are often like this, some news will not disappear if you don't pay attention to it, they will always reach your ears through various channels.
She still lives in the educated youth center, and the female educated youth living with her have been discussing these things these days. Even if she doesn't want to know, the news will get into her ears.
Especially in the youth training centers, there were also youth who passed the exam to become teachers, so it was even more impossible to isolate themselves from the news.
Thinking that only ten people had to teach so many students, Dong Shaofang felt that this was not a good job as a teacher.
Now that she had gone to the county town so many times, she had some idea of what she could do for a job. As long as her job was confirmed, she would not have to stay in the Qianshan Brigade any longer.
The husband of a family working in a hemp spinning factory in the county was seriously ill. The wife was also a worker in the factory and their child was still young. She wanted more money to save her husband.
So she wanted to sell her husband's job and use the money to treat his illness.
Jobs in the county are hard to come by, but she asks for a lot of money, so many people are hesitant.
Dong Shaofang learned about this from the person with whom she had been trading tickets, so she was going to meet that family today.
She has no shortage of money, and with such a job, she can move her household registration out of Qianshan Brigade and transfer it to a city household registration.
If she could get a city hukou again, she could continue to enjoy the food supply and no longer have to do farm work. With commercial grain to eat and her own money, she would definitely live a better life than at home.
After getting off the bus, she walked towards the agreed place.
When she arrived at the agreed place, the man was already waiting for her.
"Mrs. Chen is at home today, you can go directly there." He also worked at the hemp spinning factory, so he naturally knew what the situation was in the factory.
It is said that Mrs. Chen is also an unlucky person. She has been married to her husband for many years but has not become pregnant.
But they were not too anxious. Later, when she became pregnant and she and her husband were looking forward to the birth of the little life in her belly, her husband suddenly fell ill.
After going to the hospital for a checkup, it was found that it could be cured, but it would cost a lot of money. Their family didn't have that much money, but her husband was the breadwinner of the family, so how could she just watch the family fall apart?
She tried hard to find a way to save her husband, and later she planned to sell her house and job, but unfortunately the house was not worth much and she did not have much money to buy medicine.
So when someone came to ask about the job, she asked for a higher price. And she asked for it herself, and the job would only be given to the person who paid the most.
He took Dong Shaofang around in the alley and then came to a yard.
He went up and knocked on the door, and heard a reply from inside.
Soon the door was opened and Dong Shaofang saw the person she was going to trade with this time.
This is a young woman. Judging from her appearance, she is good-looking and should be living a good life after marriage.
But now her face was full of haggardness, and the bulge in her belly told outsiders that she was pregnant or had just given birth.
Dong Shaofang knew that Mrs. Chen had just given birth to a child not long ago. Suddenly, there were two more people in the family who needed care, and all the pressure was put on her, a woman who had just given birth, which made her so haggard.
"Are you here to buy a job, too?" she asked straight to the point. "How much can you offer?"
She has borrowed money from many people for her husband's illness, but those people don't have much money. If their families can help, she won't want to sell her job.
But Chen Saozi didn't blame them, they didn't have much money. She felt bad for her and her husband's family, even if they couldn't borrow money, it would be nice if someone could come and help them.
Being treated so coldly by her relatives, she wanted to cure her husband even more. In this world, her husband was the only one who treated her sincerely.
When she thought about her parents' family, not only did they not help her, they also wanted her to divorce her husband and give her child away so that she could remarry.
In their mouths, her husband and children were a burden, and she could live a better life if she abandoned them.
But how could she do that? She remembered all the good things her husband had done to her during the years they had been married, and the child was something she had been looking forward to for many years.
She didn't know why her family could be so cruel, but she would never do that.
"Sister-in-law, how much do you want?" Dong Shaofang was not prepared to bargain. She had a lot of money in her hand. In addition to the jar, she also found a ginseng when she went up the mountain.
At that time, some people in the county were collecting ginseng, and she sold her ginseng for a good price.
It is precisely because she has no shortage of money that she can come here with such confidence to buy a job.
"To be honest with my sister-in-law, I am determined to get this job. If you can find me a place to live, I can add another fifty yuan." Dong Shaofang knew that the person in front of him had always lived in the county town and should be more familiar with houses than himself.
"Are you serious?" Mrs. Chen immediately realized that the person in front of her was not short of money, and she might be the best candidate she could find.
"That's right." Dong Shaofang nodded.
The person who brought Dong Shaofang here was also tempted at this time. He could also help with the house issue. This was fifty yuan, and his monthly salary was only more than twenty yuan.
Fifty yuan is his two months salary!
"What do you think of this house?" Mrs. Chen pointed to her own house, "I can make room for you."
They lived in the staff quarters of the hemp spinning factory, which had its own door and a separate household. She and her husband were both working, so they had two rooms. She could live in one with her husband and children, and give the other to Dong Shaofang. This way, she wouldn't have to sell the house.
Dong Shaofang looked around the house. There was a gate in front of the house, a small yard in the middle, two rooms in the back, and a simple kitchen in the yard, with everything neatly arranged.
Although Mrs. Chen encountered problems at home, she still kept the house very clean.
And living with them is better than living with people whose background you don't know.
"Although it's just one room, this house is not small. It can be divided into two rooms. The inside can be used for sleeping, and the outside can be used as a living room." Mrs. Chen said, "If you don't want to share the yard with us, you can also build a wall in the middle, so that it is completely separated."
Mrs. Chen really wants Dong Shaofang to agree to live here so that she can have more money.
"Okay, I agree to live here, so when do we go to handle the formalities?" Dong Shaofang nodded.
"We'll go over whenever you bring the money." Mrs. Chen was also very anxious. Her husband was receiving treatment in the hospital. Although the factory could reimburse part of the expenses, it still cost a lot of money.
Now that the hospital owes her money, she must get it quickly.
"Okay, then I'll bring the money over tomorrow. Let me see the house first." Dong Shaofang did not tell Mrs. Chen how much money he would give, after all, there were outsiders here.
"Well, I don't know your name yet!" Mrs. Chen naturally knew that there were outsiders here, so she didn't mention it. Since someone was able to take out 50 yuan to find a house, he shouldn't let her down.
"My last name is Dong Shaofang, and I am an educated youth."
"Dong Zhiqing, Xiao Li, I'll take Dong Zhiqing to see the house. If you have something to do, just go ahead and do it." Mrs. Chen turned and said to the person who brought Dong Shaofang.
Xiao Li knew that they wanted to avoid discussing with him, so he left tactfully.
After Xiao Li left, Mrs. Chen took Dong Shaofang into the house.
"We have always used this house as a living room. When the time comes, we will seal the door on this side and separate them completely." Mrs. Chen introduced this house to Dong Shaofang.
Dong Shaofang could see a tiny baby sleeping on the small bed in the room through the door between the two rooms.
"Is your child noisy?" Dong Shaofang was a little worried. She knew that some children would cry at night. If she lived here, she would not be able to sleep if the child cried at night.
"Don't worry, she's very well behaved and doesn't cry much at night." Mrs. Chen followed her gaze and looked at the baby on the bed, her eyes revealing a mother's love.
"I haven't asked you how much you can give yet?"
"Sister-in-law, please tell me a real price." Dong Shaofang was very satisfied with this house. After all, it was the staff quarters of the hemp spinning factory and was very close to the factory. In addition, Sister-in-law Chen's family was here, so she felt more at ease.
Mrs. Chen looked at her child, gritted her teeth and said, "I want 400 yuan."
400 yuan actually exceeded her husband's medical expenses, but her children were still young and her husband needed to recuperate after treatment. Plus, by the time he recovered, he would be out of work, so she needed more money.
"Okay, including the money for the house, I can give you 470 yuan, but I need to use your kitchen." Dong Shaofang added another twenty yuan. She had to buy a lot of things when she moved to the city, and before she got her salary, she needed to use things from Mrs. Chen's house.
She sold the previous ginseng for 500 yuan. The man wanted it in a hurry, so she asked for a high price. Unexpectedly, he didn't bargain at all and agreed directly.
But the woman did not lose money, because the ginseng was nearly 80 years old. She asked someone who knew about it, and they knew that if it was more than 80 years old, it could be sold for a higher price.
It’s a pity that this is in a small county town. If it were in a big city, this ginseng could be sold at a higher price.
She was in a hurry to sell it, and the man seemed to be in urgent need of the money as well, so she just traded it for 500.
Dong Shaofang didn't feel that she had lost money by selling the ginseng. Now she had used this ginseng to exchange for a job, which she thought was worth it.
Anyway, I picked up the ginseng from the mountains myself.
"No problem, you can use anything in this yard." Mrs. Chen was very happy to hear that she could get more money.
With this money, her husband's life was saved. "After I hand over your work, I will take my husband to another place for treatment. You can use whatever you want here."
"Okay, I'll bring the money tomorrow."
Both sides were very willing, so the matter was quickly finalized.
