Chapter 10: First Encounter with the Principal

1．

According to Feng Shu's guidance, spring came to the door of Principal Zhao Zhiqiang's house.

Zhao Zhiqiang's home is behind the office of the Education Commission, with four main rooms, three partial rooms, and a high-walled compound, which is taller, spacious, and more magnificent than the houses of other teachers in the family home.

The courtyard door was closed, and I didn't know if Zhao Zhiqiang's family got up in the spring, so I didn't dare to knock on the door.

After parking the bicycle, Spring stood in front of Zhao Zhiqiang's house for a while. There may be the sound of running water and people's conversations in the courtyard wall, and the spring knows that Zhao Zhiqiang's family should have gotten up and may be preparing breakfast.

After stabilizing his nervous mood, Spring reached out and grabbed the knocker and was about to knock on the door, but he didn't expect the courtyard door of Zhao Zhiqiang's house to open as soon as he touched it.

In the courtyard, a woman is bending over to wash clothes by the pool. Grass green half-sleeved shirt, white sports shorts, slim figure, long hair pulled back and hastily tied with a white handkerchief.

Spring was stunned for a while, not knowing how to say hello.

In the conjecture of the spring, since Zhao Zhiqiang has achieved the position of principal, how can he be forty years old. I just heard Feng Shu call Zhao Zhiqiang's lover Director Tan, presumably he is also a successful person, and his age is not too young. But the woman in front of her, looking at the back, she couldn't tell whether she was Zhao Zhiqiang's wife or daughter, and she couldn't think of what to call for a while.

The woman in the courtyard heard the sound of the door opening, turned around and saw the spring walking into the yard, and also straightened up and stopped what she was doing.

With handsome facial features, delicate appearance, fair skin, slender figure, dignified and elegant demeanor, she is a beautiful woman. But Spring still couldn't tell her age, and she couldn't tell whether she was Zhao Zhiqiang's wife or daughter.

"Are you?" the woman hurriedly asked, looking at Spring standing there.

"Oh, Teacher Feng Shu informed me that Principal Zhao asked me to come here. Spring explained.

"Oh, I know," the woman smiled and nodded, then turned to the room and shouted, "Old Zhao, looking for you." ”

Someone in the room answered, and then opened the curtain and walked out. Thirty-something, medium height, short hair, chubby figure, white face, pampered and rich. The fat face of the meat whirring looks comparable to Song Xiuwen.

From the name of the woman in the courtyard to this man, it can be concluded that this person is Zhao Zhiqiang, director of the Education Commission and principal of the middle school, and he hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.

"Principal Zhao, it was Teacher Feng Shu who asked me to come to you. Spring said with a smile.

"It's Koharu, let's get inside. Zhao Zhiqiang held the curtain with one hand and warmly greeted Spring into the house.

Spring was polite, but still turned sideways and went into the house.

The furnishings in the house are luxurious and magnificent. Wisteria high-back sofas, tempered glass coffee tables, luxury floor fans, high-end vertical water dispensers, double-door Haier refrigerators, 25-inch Changhong picture-in-picture color TVs, and calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls all show the wealth and taste of the owner.

Spring was amazed by the wealth and luxury of Zhao Zhiqiang's family. Just a 25-inch picture-in-picture Changhong color TV is probably worth a year's labor income of my father in the spring. Moreover, this kind of high-end electronic products are said to be sold in the county. It seems that Liu Shuzhen is right, this Zhao Zhiqiang is really a person with hands and eyes and great energy.

Seeing that Spring was standing at the door of the house and didn't move his feet, Zhao Zhiqiang smiled and patted Spring's shoulder: "Xiaochun, sit down, you're welcome." ”

Chun Qian gave in, and sat sideways on the wisteria sofa opposite Zhao Zhiqiang.

"Eat fruit. Zhao Zhiqiang pushed the fruit plate on the coffee table in front of the spring, and at the same time observed the spring.

Sitting in front of Zhao Zhiqiang, Spring looks a little shy and restrained. A slightly thin figure, a handsome face that is slightly thin, a white well-fitting shirt, neatly trimmed fingernails, and medium-length hair that is popular among young people nowadays. Although the expression is slightly tired, the whole person looks very energetic, especially the eyes, revealing a purity, kindness and integrity, shining with the brilliance of wisdom, which makes people can't help but shine brightly.

"That's right," Zhao Zhiqiang looked at the spring and opened his mouth, "I read your dossier when I took over the work of the Education Committee the day before yesterday, and I knew that you graduated from art education. Now this kind of talent is scarce, there are no professional art teachers in the surrounding towns and villages, and some schools in the city are barely open. Now that you have been assigned back to our Hushan Town, I want to transfer you to teach in a middle school, what do you think?"

Spring calmly listened to Zhao Zhiqiang's words, and couldn't help but feel a burst of ecstasy in his heart.

Looking at Zhao Zhiqiang, who was smiling and waiting for his answer, Spring's face turned slightly red, and he exhaled lightly, calming his excitement a little.

"I obey Principal Zhao's assignment, but I have no experience, and I'm afraid that I won't be able to do a good job..." Spring said with a stumbling voice.

"It's okay, everyone will have a first time," Zhao Zhiqiang waved his fat palm, "The so-called beginning of everything is difficult, and every newcomer has passed from this period." You young people are energetic and motivated, and if you are willing to put your heart into it, you will soon be able to start teaching. Besides, if you are still asked to teach art in middle school, I will not give you other subjects, and you will definitely be able to play well in your own professional field. If you don't understand something at work, come to me, let's figure out a way together, there is no flame mountain that you can't get over. As long as we are willing to work hard, I believe that the art education work in Hushan Town will definitely be ahead of other brother towns and towns and achieve brilliant results. Hehe..."

Listening to Zhao Zhiqiang's teaching and encouragement, a beautiful career blueprint was gradually drawn in the mind of spring, and a strong expectation for the future career involuntarily rose in my heart.

"There is one more thing," Zhao Zhiqiang continued, "In order to strengthen the art education in our county and further improve the professional quality of art teachers, the county education bureau issued a notice the day before yesterday, requiring each township to send a backbone art teacher to Huxian Normal for a ten-day intensive training.

"No," Spring looked at Zhao Zhiqiang and replied very dryly, "Principal Zhao, what time is the training?"

"Hehe, young people are refreshing," Zhao Zhiqiang smiled and said to Spring, "The training time is August 15th, report to the art group of the county normal school before nine o'clock in the morning, arrange room and board, and start classes in the afternoon." The end of the training is August 25th, and you can return on the 26th, and rush to the Education Commission Office before noon, and the Education Committee will distribute your new teachers uniformly, and the new teachers will have a meal at noon. In our middle school, teachers returned to school on August 28 to study, hold meetings, assign teaching subjects and arrange class schedules, and students reported on the 30th, and arranged student accommodation, meals, etc. Classes will start on September 1st. I've done the math, the timing is just right, and there won't be any delay for you. ”

Hearing that Zhao Zhiqiang was talking about the specific work schedule and arrangement, Spring quickly took out a notebook and pencil from his backpack and carefully recorded what Zhao Zhiqiang said.

Looking at the humble and serious look of spring, Zhao Zhiqiang was very happy. Although spring looks like a literary and artistic youth of the times, and a trace of unruly looks will inadvertently flash in the eyebrows and eyes, but there does not seem to be the frivolity, impetuousness, empty-sightedness, and self-righteousness of young people nowadays. There are not many young people like Spring who are so down-to-earth and serious now, and I hope that my choice will not be wrong.

"By the way, all the expenses during your training period will be paid by the school, including transportation, room and board, purchased study items, etc.," Zhao Zhiqiang instructed Chun again, "Remember to keep all kinds of documents, ask me to sign when you come back, and go to the accountant to reimburse you." Because I don't know how much money you can spend on going out this time, and the school can't give you an advance in advance, so I have to let you advance your own money, and we will settle it together when you come back. When young people go out, they can't save what they should spend, and don't spend what they shouldn't, hehe..."

Spring understood the implicit meaning of Zhao Zhiqiang's words, and nodded hurriedly.

After some conversation, Chun's humility and attitude of not being humble or arrogant made Zhao Zhiqiang appreciate it. I thought, this young man is good, but he doesn't know what his work ability is, but looking at his look and conversation, he shouldn't be the kind of person who is only willing and obedient...

Seeing that Zhao Zhiqiang hadn't spoken in the spring, he hurriedly looked up at Zhao Zhiqiang, and happened to see the scrutinizing gaze cast by Zhao Zhiqiang.

Spring's face turned slightly red, knowing that Zhao Zhiqiang had nothing to explain, he hurriedly collected the training notice handed over by Zhao Zhiqiang, stood up and said goodbye to Zhao Zhiqiang.

3.

Zhao Zhiqiang didn't keep it, and after a few polite words, he got up to send him off.

Out of the house, the woman who was washing clothes in the yard also straightened up and threw down the work in her hand, and greeted Spring politely.

Spring now knows that this woman is Director Tan that Feng Shu said in his mouth, that is, Zhao Zhiqiang's wife.

But what Spring can't understand is why Zhao Zhiqiang's wife looks so young, as if she is not much older than herself.

"Director Tan, you are busy. Spring hurriedly greeted her.

"It's okay, I'm not busy, Teacher Chun is leaving?" Zhao Zhiqiang's wife grinned and said to Chun, "Don't call Director Tan, just call your sister-in-law, they are all in the same school, and they will be a family in the future, right?"

Zhao Zhiqiang was also beside him, echoing his wife's statement.

Zhao Zhiqiang's wife's sentence "Teacher Chun" called Spring a little confused, this is the first time someone has called him like this, which makes Spring feel a little frightened and a little excited.

Out of the hospital gate, he said goodbye to Zhao Zhiqiang and his wife in the spring, and pushed the car towards the school gate.

Walking on the road to the campus, Spring was still hesitant to go to Feng Shu's house and tell him about these things that Zhao Zhiqiang talked about to him. But as soon as he thought of Feng Shu's attitude towards him, Spring felt very uncomfortable in his heart. The young and vigorous Spring made a decision to simply ignore Feng Shu.

Out of the gate of Toyama Middle School, Spring flew into the car and pressed a string of cheerful bells.

The car drove quickly to the road in the town, bathed in the early morning sun, and the heart of spring seemed to fly.

The problem that has plagued spring for many days has unexpectedly got a happy answer today.
