Chapter 9 Preparation
On Monday, He Rulan came to report with her luggage, and when she arrived at the school, she learned that these were two independent schools.
A small white three-story building on the south side is the teaching building of the primary school, and a separate two-story building next to it is an office building, with the gate facing south, and the sign of Yimeng Railway Primary School is hung on the door.
The back of the teaching building is separated by a fence, the north side of the wall is a gray three-story building, which is said to be the teaching building of the junior high school and the high school, and the student dormitory is on the west side of the campus, which is also a gray two-story building, and the gate is open on the east side of the campus, and the sign of Yimeng Railway Middle School is hung on it.
The primary school campus is not large, and in front of the school building is a basketball court, along the outer circle of the basketball court is a small circular track, and next to the track is a flag-raising platform with a high flagpole on it.
Since the school is newly built, it will only start recruiting students from next summer, and it will officially open, and now it is only in the preparatory stage, and there are more than a dozen primary school teachers who came to report, all waiting for the assignment of work by Wu Xianqi, the director of education.
Wu Xianqi is forty years old, transferred from the railway school on the main line, with a medium build, a Chinese face, thick eyebrows and deep eyes, and no smiles.
In the main line school, he was only the leader of the primary school Chinese group, and seeing that he was not young, in order to go further in his career, he resolutely made a decision to go to the new line school to seek development.
Hard work pays off, in addition to the principal and secretary of the railway primary school, most of them are normal students who have just graduated like He Rulan, and there are three or four teachers in their early thirties, no matter in terms of seniority or age, Wu Xianqi has the upper hand, and he was naturally appointed as the director of primary school teaching.
"Teachers! I saw that there were still three or four teachers who had not yet come to report, so let's not wait, the comrades who came first cleaned up the school together, and when everyone arrived, I will tell you about the work we have to do next. ”
He Rulan was already a little bored, some of the teachers who came to report knew each other, some were more extroverted, and they got together to talk and laugh as soon as they came, He Rulan was an introverted and shy girl, standing silently on the side and watching everyone.
"Everyone go to the general affairs office to get brooms and mops, rags and buckets on the side of the sink!" Wu Xianqi arranged the work.
He Rulan walked quickly towards the sink, she finally had something to do, she was used to doing housework since she was a child, and this little work was no problem for He Rulan.
"It's bad luck! I knew I wouldn't be here so early, I wouldn't be covered in dust!" complained a girl next to her.
He Rulan turned her head to see that a fashionable girl was pouting and walking slowly, only to see that she was wearing a big red bread suit, jeans, shawl long hair, and a fluffy red woolen hat, which was very good-looking.
"You eldest lady! since you were a child, you have to stretch out your hands in your clothes and open your mouth for food, so you have to work a lot to reform your lazy problem!" a girl next to her said crisply, and she giggled first.
It seems that the two of them have known each other well, and they beat each other and joked as they walked.
Seeing He Rulan looking at them, the short-haired girl greeted her warmly, "Hello! When I was named just now, I heard that your surname seems to be He, this surname is not common in our side! My name is Wang Xuejiao, she is my classmate, her name is Gu Mengmeng, and we both have just graduated." ”
"Hello, I have just graduated!" He Rulan quickly replied.
"Oh! This bread suit of yours seems to be the latest style! I fell in love with it at the Kindageshan Department Store a few days ago, but my mother didn't buy it for me, and I was annoyed!" Gu Mengmeng looked at it as if he had discovered a new continent, pulling He Rulan's sleeve to look at it.
"But you really don't fit this outfit, you have to wear this kind of bread with jeans, and with a lint boots, your skin is so good, and the rate of turning back when walking on the street is 100%!"
He Rulan looked down at her old-fashioned blue cotton pants, as well as a pair of black corduroy old-fashioned cotton shoes, with the latest pink bread clothes, which was indeed a bit nondescript.
"This bread suit was given to me by my sister, and I haven't made any money yet, so I can't pay attention to so much ......" He Rulan smiled honestly.
"Alas, it's a pity!
"Okay, don't be stinky and beautiful! In the future, we are all going to work, don't keep thinking about stinky things! I heard my mother say that when you are a teacher, you can't dress too out of line, you must be dignified and generous, and you should not dress like a Hong Kong guest in the future, otherwise the leader will criticize you!" Wang Xuejiao has short ear-length hair and wears a dark red plaid coat, which looks really dignified.
"What's wrong with dressing pretty, I don't want to look like an old lady!" Gu Mengmeng protested dissatisfiedly.
The three of them talked and laughed and went to the sink, He Rulan carried half a bucket of water, Gu Mengmeng and Wang Xuejiao took the rag, cleaned the mop, and walked towards the teaching building together.
The male teachers on the campus were shoveling snow and cleaning the yard, Gu Mengmeng stood by the window on the second floor and looked down, "It's better to shovel snow, you look at the black smoke in the classroom, it's useless to splash water, I have to wash it when I go back at night." ”
"Okay, okay, let's get to work!" Wang Xuejiao urged, "Let's clean this classroom, He Rulan will clean one by herself, it's almost finished, you are still here in a daze!"
"She's from the countryside, who can compare with her?" Gu Mengmeng said disdainfully.
"Oh, you can be quiet! Wang Xue gave her a punch in a hurry.
"Oops, I'm seriously injured and can't work anymore!" Gu Mengmeng snorted, and the two of them giggled again.
He Rulan heard clearly in the classroom next door, she stood silently in the middle of the classroom, the whole classroom was cleaned, every desk, chair, and glass were polished, and even the blackboard was wiped clean.
Kung Fu Wang Xuejiao, who went upstairs, has already explained Gu Mengmeng's background clearly, her father is the section chief of a certain unit of the railway, her mother is an accountant, and the elder brother above graduated from college and stayed in the provincial capital to work, it can be said that Gu Mengmeng is the pearl of the family, the proud daughter of the sky, no wonder no one looks down on her in her eyes.
Wang Xuejiao is not an ordinary person, I heard that her grandfather is a retired old cadre of the Railway Bureau, her parents are middle-level leaders in the railway unit, an only daughter, although she is enthusiastic and generous, but He Rulan still clearly feels that she is superior to others everywhere, although she hides it well.
He Rulan had nothing, she felt a little inferior in her heart, but soon she remembered what her sister said, "We can't compare with others as our parents, we can't compare with our background, but we have our own strengths, that is, the spirit of hardship and hard work and never admit defeat, and the success obtained by our own efforts is far more reliable than relying on our parents!"
He Rulan let out a long breath, straightened her spine, picked up the bucket and mop and walked towards the sink downstairs, she was ready to start cleaning the second classroom.
