Anna pushed the door open. There are two large tables in the office that are merged together. The table was piled with homework books and various materials. Because it was class time, there were a few teachers in it. Some are drinking water, and some are preparing for class and changing homework.

Anna gently slammed the door, "Excuse me, is Principal Li here?"

A woman in her fifties looked up, "I am." You are ......"

Anna hurriedly bowed to her, "Hello Principal Li. I am Li Hong's niece, named Li Mei......"

"Oh, you're here, come in!"

Anna thanked and walked inside.

President Li is the Vice President. Put on a pair of glasses and look at Anna from head to toe.

"Say you graduated from secondary school?"

"Yes......"

"Did you bring your diploma?"

“…… When I came from Shanghai, I was in a hurry and forgot to bring ......"

"Taught before?"

"Yes. "Anna did teach, teaching Chinese and English, and that's not a lie.

"Do you know how to play the piano?"

"Yes. ”

Principal Lee motioned for Anna to follow him to a nearby office, and asked her to sit down in front of an organ in the corner and play one for her.

The organ is the old one that requires taking turns to pedal it. That's fine for Anna. After sitting down, he asked, "Principal, what am I playing?"

"Whatever you want. Principal Li said. When he said this, his eyes behind the lenses shone slightly.

Anna remembered the banner she saw at the train station when she first came that day, so she flicked a piece to learn from Lei Feng's good example, and flicked the penny I picked up on the side of the road.

Principal Li showed a satisfied look, and after asking Anna to go back to the principal's office with him, he said with a pleasant face: "It's good." Wait and fill out the form, and I'll report it tomorrow! We start music in the fourth grade, and you're in charge of the music classes in the fourth and sixth grades. The substitute salary is thirty-two yuan per month, and another five catties of briquettes will be paid at the end of the month. ”

Anna was a little flattered to get through the interview so quickly. Hurry up and say thank you.

Principal Li pushed his glasses and smiled: "Xiao Li, I trust you, so I asked you to do this class." Don't underestimate the emotional cultivation of music for children. Do you know why the female teacher was fired before? In class, Teresa Teng's yellow-colored songs were played to the children. This is a big ideological problem!"

Anna was stunned for a moment, and asked carefully: "Principal, didn't you say that the teacher at the beginning is going to have a child......

"She's pregnant! But she doesn't have to come in the future!" Principal Li tapped the table with his pen, "This kind of vulgar song is really a mental paralyzing agent for some young men and women in our country! That female teacher is a complete victim! I must not allow her to continue to influence our students! I have a book here, you can take it back and read it carefully, learn from it, and try not to repeat the mistakes of the past." As he spoke, he handed over a book.

Anna took it, and her eyes widened at the title of the book.

The title of the book is "How to Distinguish Yellow-Color-Song", which was published by the People's Music Publishing House a few years ago, and the authors are all composers of the older generation, and several of them are very famous, even she knows it. opened it and glanced at it, and found that the first song that was used as a negative textbook was "Pink Memories", and there were many old songs from Hong Kong and Taiwan that she knew.

"I also know that some places have begun to be affected by this bad atmosphere, and they don't care. But this is a school, and we still have to take care of it, don't you say?"

"Yes, yes......"

"As a teacher, you can't wear lipstick and eyebrows, and you can't wear fancy clothes, such as jeans, bell bottoms, or anything. Nor can you jump disco. But ballroom dancing is possible. It's high culture, and it's not the same as the mess. Can you do it?"

"Yes, yes......"

Principal Li was quite satisfied with Anna's attitude, nodded, and called someone to take Anna to fill out the form, and the interview was over.

……

Anna returned home from school with the book "How to Distinguish Yellow-Color-Song" given by the principal, and her head was still a little dizzy. I was a little uncomfortable with suddenly getting such a job.

Aunt Li Mei was waiting with her neck crossed. When he saw her come back, he immediately pulled and asked about the situation. Knowing that he had already passed Guò and could go to work tomorrow, he was overjoyed, and said happily: "I'll just say that you can do it!" More than 30 yuan a month, which is less than a regular teacher, but it is better than having nothing to do, saving food and frugality, and you can save 18200 a year. Besides, it sounds good, doesn't it?"

Anna nodded.

Aunt Li Mei was in a good mood and added a dish in the evening. As soon as she finished eating, Xiao Ni couldn't sit still again, turned around and ran to a neighbor's house surnamed Zhang to take a seat early to watch TV.

At this time, Shanghai Tang was in full swing on TV. is still the jade-faced Xiaosheng's Fa Ge and the young Sister Zhi's interpretation of this bitter love in Shanghai, which affects the hearts of people across the country. The song that Anna was familiar with was so hot that even a child of a few years old could hum it. Xiaoni went to Zhang's house to watch TV every night after dinner, and she was extremely devoted.

Aunt Li Mei is also very obsessed with Xu Wenqiang, and she is a loyal fan of Fa Ge, but she can't go out because she has to open a commissary. Seeing that Anna didn't go to watch it, these few nights, pinching a little bit and waiting for the broadcast to start soon, I asked Anna to help watch the commissary, and I went to stand outside the door to watch it for a while.

Tonight is no exception. Xiao Ni went first. When it got dark, Aunt Li Mei calculated that the time was almost up, the soles of her feet were itchy, and she couldn't help but ask Anna to help watch it again, and went to watch TV in a hurry.

The peak of business in the evening has passed. Plus it's cold, and it's no one here. Anna sat under the dim incandescent lamp of the commissary, and while comfortably roasting the fire, she flipped through the how to distinguish yellow-color songs to pass the time, when she heard a familiar voice say, "Buy a pack of cigarettes!"

Anna raised her head and saw Lu Zhongjun standing outside the counter, looking over with a pair of eyes, as if waiting for herself to get a cigarette. Slightly stunned, he reacted, and hurriedly took him a pack of cigarettes and charged three cents.

Lu Zhongjun took the cigarette, tore open the lid and took out a cigarette, and asked her to borrow the fire.

Anna hurriedly struck a match and brought it to him.

Lu Zhongjun leaned over and lit a cigarette. The flames of the jumping matches illuminated his handsome face.

Anna found out that the man was actually quite good-looking.

Lu Zhongjun lit a cigarette, took a puff, and his eyes fell on the book she had just casually clasped on the counter.

Anna quickly removed the book and hid it underneath.

Lu Zhongjun glanced at her, turned around and left.

Anna guessed he might be passing through, so he stopped by to buy a pack of cigarettes. After seeing his figure disappear into the dim night at the mouth of the alley, the old alarm clock on the side showed that it was almost nine o'clock, ready to close, and unexpectedly found that Aunt Li Mei had dragged Xiaoni back early.

Xiao Ni's eyes were red, and Aunt Li Mei's face was not very good.

"What's the matter? Isn't the TV still over?" asked Anna.

"I'm so angry!" Aunt Li Mei shouted, "Isn't it just a broken TV! I'm going to buy one too! It's not that I can't afford it!"

At this time, television has become much more popular than in the early years. But in Hongshijing, there are still not many people who have a TV at home. The Zhang family is a dual-income worker, the conditions are good, there is a fourteen-inch Venus black and white TV at home, this TV has been played recently, and it is crowded with people every night.

Anna hurriedly asked. Aunt Li Mei was stunned, and Anna understood. It turned out that the kid from the Zhang family who went to kindergarten with Xiaoni bullied Xiaoni and wanted to drive Xiaoni away. Although the parents and Aunt Li Mei have not quarreled with each other, there was a little friction secretly because of a little matter in the foundation a few years ago. The matter has long been settled. Although he didn't name them and said that he wouldn't let them come to his house to watch TV, he pretended to be deaf and dumb about what happened just now. Aunt Li Mei was angry, so she forcibly pulled Xiaoni back.

"I'm not allowed to see it in the future!, don't you hear it!" Aunt Li Mei reprimanded Xiaoni.

Xiao Ni's eyes flashed with tears.

"Hey, it's okay, it's okay," Anna hurriedly went over and hugged her, "Gu told you, Gu has watched this TV." Cheng Cheng married Ali, Xu Wenqiang married another woman, and was finally killed by machine-gun shooting. ”

"Wow-"

As soon as she heard that this was probably the first audience to send the screenwriter the ending of the blade, Xiao Ni cried sadly.

Aunt Li Mei was stunned for a moment, and muttered: "Why is this like this? Meimei, are you talking nonsense? What kind of ending is this? How compatible they are! I'm still waiting for them to get married!"

Anna suddenly realizes that she has inadvertently become a spoiler for all evil, and hurriedly remedies: "I guessed. ”

Aunt Li Mei breathed a sigh of relief, said hello, closed with Anna, closed the courtyard door, and led Xiaoni back to the house to wash and sleep.

Early the next morning, Xiao Ni waited hopefully for her grandmother to buy a TV. Aunt Li Mei hesitated for a long time, and finally was reluctant to spend the hundreds of yuan. Said to wait until next year to save money to buy it. Xiao Ni was disappointed. But this child is very well-behaved, in the morning Anna went out to school, and sent her to kindergarten on the way, and she didn't have any love. Seeing that Anna was distressed, she only hated herself for having no money. If she had money, she would have rushed to buy a TV and come back, and it would only be a few hundred yuan.

Before she came to this era, Anna had never realized how important money was to her.

But now, in just a few days, she has experienced more than once that a penny is hard to kill a hero

No matter what she plans to do in the future, whether she stays here or goes back to S City, how to find a way to make money is too important to her.

……

Anna began her career as a substitute music teacher at the Agency's primary school.

She was the only music teacher in the whole school. There are a total of twelve classes from grades 4 to 6. Classes are held in the mornings from Monday to Saturday. Each class has one music lesson a week, and the average is only two or three lessons a day, which is quite relaxing. The content of the class is also simple. With the lesson of the female teacher in front of her, Anna honestly taught according to the repertoire in the music textbook, and resolutely did not exceed the outline. The content of the class is nothing more than playing the piano, singing, and teaching simple scores.
