Unknowingly, Cen Xinrui has been working as a private teacher at Balinghu Middle School for several months. Although he had never taught, because the mathematics of the two classes in the third grade of junior high school was not very difficult for him, and he paid attention to learning from other teachers, as long as he had nothing to do, he went to listen to other teachers' classes, and it did not take long for him to be competent for his job and was recognized by his leaders and colleagues. People are comfortable, and everything is pleasing to the eye.

No, although he is not a nosy person, when he came out of class after two classes that day, he found many people gathered around the construction site of the school auditorium under construction, chattering and not knowing what to discuss, he couldn't help but step away and walked over.

There were many onlookers, and no one noticed that someone had joined their group. Cen Xinrui walked around and took a closer look, and found out what they were talking about.

It turned out that after the proposed auditorium was staked out according to the drawings, the builders found that the construction location of the gable on the south side of the auditorium was actually on an abandoned pond with a large area. Although the pond has dried up, the silt is not old or young, and if you really want to build a wall here, you don't know how deep the foundation will have to be laid.

"Just, just change places. "Seeing this, someone proposed.

"Where to change it? The whole school is just such an empty space!" Someone immediately thought that this was not feasible, "even if it can be replaced, it will not be convenient to use it after repairing it in the future." ”

"The footing is deeper, and it's a matter of laying a few more bricks. "Some people think it's not the same thing.

"You said it lightly, there is so much budget in total, where will the extra brick money be reimbursed?" the shrewd man calculated the accounts very carefully.

"Then what should I do, I can't help but repair it," someone sighed, "For it, Director Zhu didn't hum to the county education bureau, and it was so easy to ask for this money." ”

"What did the construction team say?" someone thought of this floor.

"They said that the solution is not impossible, that is, to dig deeper, at least to build the footing in a place where there is no silt and soft soil, but then the cost will increase,"

"No, in addition to a lot of extra bricks, labor also costs money. ”

Listening to everyone's discussions, Director Zhu of the School Reform Committee stood by the pond, staring at the mud, touching his chin with his hand, and was silent. He knew that he was facing a problem that was not too big but not too small, and he had to find a way to solve it as soon as possible, but how to solve it?

Listening to the onlookers' discussions, he felt that any change of place, increase the budget, etc., were unreliable, and the most realistic thing was to still make a fuss on the pond, and to do a good job, without quality problems.

After thinking about it for a while, he still couldn't figure it out, and Director Zhu couldn't help but sigh in his heart. But when he inadvertently raised his head, he found that his gaze collided with Cen Xinrui's gaze.

Alas, why don't you listen to his opinion? Director Zhu's heart moved. He remembered that some time ago, when he was chatting at a meeting in the commune, he talked about educated youth, and the secretary of Cen Xinrui's brigade told him that this young man was very capable. As for the best proof of this, it is that he made a good proposal for the renovation of the brigade aqueduct.

Thinking of this, Director Zhu said to Cen Xinrui: "Teacher Cen Tell me, how to solve this problem?"

"Are you asking me?" Hearing this, Cen Xinrui in the crowd was a little puzzled. He felt that he was just a private teacher, and within a few days of joining the company, there were so many public teachers on the side, some of whom had graduated from bachelor's degrees, and in front of them, it seemed that it was not his turn to speak on matters related to the school.

"Yes, I just want to hear what you think. Looking at Cen Xinrui's cautious expression, Director Zhu felt quite interesting. He knew what the young man was thinking.

"Well, I'll just say it, if it's not right, just because I didn't say it. Seeing the director's sincere attitude, Cen Xinrui once again observed the expressions of the onlookers.

Everyone looked at each other for a moment, but there was no squeak. After a lot of discussion, none of them could come up with a good solution, so they could only listen to Cen Xinrui's opinion, not to mention that he was the general ordered by Director Zhu.

"I think this problem is a bit difficult, but it can still be solved, and first, don't change places, and second, don't increase expenses. Cen Xinrui looked at the abandoned pond full of silt, and said in a small voice but with great certainty.

Oh, and when he said that, everyone came to the spirits.

"There is a lot of silt in this pond, but we can't get it all out, we just need to dig out a few places where there are enough pillars. Cen Xinrui said with confidence.

"Isn't it necessary to erect a whole gable wall to erect a pillar?" some people did not understand when he said this.

"Yes," Cen explained, "as long as the pillars can be built, the gables don't have to worry." ”

"What's going on?"

But at this time, the head of the construction team had a bright eye. Obviously, he already knew what Cen Xinrui was talking about. So he asked, "You mean to raise the arch circle on the pillars and the wall on the arch circle?"

"Yes. Cen Xinrui nodded.

"Good idea!" Hearing this, Director Zhu couldn't help but applaud.

"Can the arch ring withstand the weight of the gable?" someone questioned.

"That's not a problem. Cen Xinrui replied confidently, but as soon as the words came out, he added, "Of course, the arch ring should reach a certain height, especially the strength of the column on which it rests should be guaranteed." In addition, how many columns to rise, this is also to be considered, because the arch circle is small, not economical, the arch circle is large, the requirements for materials are high, and the construction is much more difficult. ”

Hearing him say this, everyone remembered that there are ancient and modern Chinese and foreign people who build walls on the arch circle, in the West, there is the Colosseum in Italy, and in China, there is Tiananmen Square, which is known to the world.

"That's still a matter of calculation. "Director Zhu is the person who is responsible for the project, so he thought of this.

"Then please ask Mr. Cen to do the math?" The leader of the construction team looked at Director Zhu.

"I can't. Cen Xinrui hurriedly excused himself.

"Why?" someone on the side was puzzled, "Didn't you come up with the idea?"

"It's not a big problem, I can do the math, but I don't have the qualifications, and it's in vain. ”

Also, when I heard this, everyone thought so. But no matter what, everyone thinks that Cen Xinrui's idea is good. I have long heard that he studied mathematics and physics textbooks on his own, and likes to read books on architecture, so it seems that he has really learned something famous. Especially Director Zhu, he thinks that this Cen Xinrui is a talent, and the word knowledge in the knowledge youth is really appropriate to wear on his head.

Although the problem was solved, onlookers still seemed to be unsatisfied. But just as they were about to say something, the bell rang for the end of the fourth period. As the bell rang, groups of students poured out of the classrooms and headed for the cafeteria.

"Let's eat, there's still class in the afternoon!" said someone among the onlookers. When everyone heard this, they immediately dispersed.

Cen Xinrui is a young man, and his stomach is hungry quickly, and when he saw this, he also left the construction site with everyone. It's just that he didn't expect that just as he walked towards the cafeteria, a young female teacher followed him not far away.

She was also present when Cen Xinrui expressed her opinion. Although she doesn't understand architecture, she can still know from his statement, especially the reaction of the construction team leader and Director Zhu to the statement, that his idea is feasible and the only way available. It was at that moment that she had the idea that she should come into contact with this colleague who was about her age, even though she knew that he was just an intellectual young man who had been in the countryside for several years and had not been recruited for work.

There were a lot of people in the cafeteria. Like other teachers, Cen Xinrui took out his own cutlery from the cupboard in the dining room, flushed it under the faucet of the sink, and went to the window to get a meal. Seeing that the only table was full of diners, he walked towards the library while eating. He knew that the lunch break was very short, and Mr. He, who was in charge of the books, would not sleep. There, it's best to be able to borrow new books, no, and it's good to chat with her.

Sure enough, Mr. He was also having lunch. Seeing Cen Xinrui walk in, he greeted him, and enthusiastically brought a bowl of homemade sesame oil mixed with laba beans to him.

Looking at these, Cen Xinrui felt very interesting and couldn't help laughing.

Teacher He was such a person, he knew what he was laughing at, and couldn't help but look at him, but this was just a matter of an instant, and he laughed too.

Coincidentally, Mr. He, who was transferred from another school, reported to Balinghu Middle School almost at the same time as Cen Xinrui. The day they met coincided with the school's all-teacher and student meeting to convey the spirit of the instructions of the higher authorities on the educational revolution.

When Cen Xinrui carried a small bench and walked into the playground with the class he taught, he suddenly found that a female teacher in her fifties sitting not far from him had a familiar face.

Who is she? Cen Xinrui searched in his mind for a moment, and immediately remembered that the elder in front of him was He Fangfei, the former biology teacher of Lichuan No. 1 Middle School.

Cen Xinrui was a little excited. He quietly picked up the small bench under his butt and moved towards Teacher He. Taking advantage of the fact that everyone was listening to Director Zhu's communication, he whispered-

"Teacher He!"

Suddenly, when he heard someone calling for him, Mr. He was stunned for a moment. Looking back, he saw that it was a young male teacher smiling at him, so he nodded politely in response.

"I'm Cen Xinrui, a private teacher here, and I was a student of Lichuan No. 1 Middle School earlier. Cen Xinrui introduced himself, paused, and added: "You know." ”

"Cen Xinrui, Lichuan No. 1 Middle School?" Teacher He looked at him, recognized it for a while, and finally shook his head, "I don't know." ”

"Don't you remember me? I didn't have much contact with you when I was studying!" Seeing that the other party said that he didn't know himself, Cen Xinrui was very confused. He thought it was unlikely.

It must be known that although there has been a gap of five or six years, her body shape and appearance have changed a lot, but when it comes to her name, she should still have an impression, after all, she has been an off-duty teacher in her class, especially when she was studying in No. 1 Middle School, she was the top student in the class, as long as it was an exam, it was rare not to take the first place, but all the teachers who taught him knew it.

"Really?" Hearing him say this, Teacher He turned his gaze over again, looking at him as if he was remembering something. I just looked at it for a while, and finally shook my head, "I'm sorry, I don't know." ”

Looking at this, Cen Xinrui didn't know what to do. At this time, in addition to disappointment, he was also embarrassed. He didn't know if it would be better for him to continue to sit next to Mr. He or to move the bench out of the way. Fortunately, at this time, the head teacher of the class beckoned to him, as if he had something to tell him, and ran away.
