X province, XX region, remote county seat, from township to village, inconvenient transportation, information blockage, but it is not a very small rural school.

Wearing the old vest he wore at school, Lu Shangen walked out of the school yard with a basin of water, went to a slope, and poured the water.

There were no children in the yard, so they all went home on vacation - this vacation, the scientific name is probably called autumn harvest vacation, but local children are used to calling it rice harvesting holiday.

The family also farms, and Lu Shangen should have gone home to help with the rice, not only his own family, but also the son-in-law had to go to the father-in-law's house to help for two days.

But because his wife had just given birth and was still in confinement, he couldn't go.

Walking back to the house, putting the basin printed with the word "Xi" and peonies on the kitchen shelf, Lu Shangen lifted the corner of the curtain of the flower cloth door and lowered his head to get in.

There are only two rooms, but the fact is that they are still separated, very small, and now that they have children, Lu Shangen sleeps on the floor at night.

He graduated from secondary school, so it is said that he does not have to come to such a remote mountain village primary school, and the reason for coming is naturally because of his wife who is a substitute teacher here.

It was a deal, he gave up his position in the county to a related family, and the other party promised him to help solve his wife's staffing problem within a year, and help transfer to the town within three years.

Then, for two years, the other party didn't do anything, Lu Shangen was resentful, unfair, and unwilling, but now that he has a wife and children, he can't even go out and make a desperate scene.

There is a saying that the more backward the place, the greater the role of human relations, and the easier it is to breed corruption and evil.

His wife, Qi Rourou, was lying on the bed, with a confinement belt wrapped around her head, leaning sideways, and two little babies wrapped in diapers side by side in the crook of her hand.

They are all men, twins - this is a great blessing in the countryside at the stage of family planning, and Lu Shangen himself is also very happy.

In the three years of secondary school, Jiang Che patted him on the shoulder.

The children's names have been chosen, because the wife's family is an only daughter, two male babies, one with Lu Shangen's own surname Lu, called Lu Xu, nicknamed Xu Xu, and the other let his wife's surname Qi, called Qi Yang, nicknamed Yangyang.

"How?"

"All asleep. ”

"Did you change the diaper? I took it and washed it. ”

"There's no hurry, it's still useful. ”

"Then I'll kill a chicken for you. ”

"No, didn't I eat it a few days ago? Qi Rourou persuaded: "Or when I am out of confinement, I can sell it, so that I can invite the meal that your classmates said." ”

Lu Shangen's expression stiffened when he heard this, and he said in his heart that it was far from enough. Not to mention the low salary for teaching in this place, the finance is often in arrears, for example, now, the county has not paid his salary for three months, and he has only a few dollars left in hand.

Because he was afraid that his wife would be worried, Lu Shangen didn't tell her the concept of the meal, nor did he say the actual situation at home, but only said: "What, I heard that Sun Zilong, just my classmate, went to Guangzhou with the development factory a while ago, and inquired, it is also strange, the people in the factory came back a few days ago, but he didn't return." ”

He didn't say anything about Sun Zilong's previous attitude towards him.

But I know in my heart that there is not much chance of being tricked, and I am likely to be tricked by monkeys.

"If it really doesn't work, we won't do it, and if you have the establishment, I'll do it well...... If it weren't for me, you wouldn't be stuck here. ”

As soon as his wife said a few words, a fierce noise came from the chicken pen outside the hospital.

Lu Shangen took a look at the curtains, and the two teenage boys were coming out of the circle and running away.

Both of them understand, and some get used to it, that this is stealing eggs again.

"It's the two of the village chief's family that no one taught. Lu Shangen clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and said, "This is endless, no, I have to chase after ...... They don't teach, I'll come. ”

"Don't. His wife persuaded him bitterly, "Have you forgotten the last time?" those people came to the door, making such a fierce noise, and even threatening to light our house with torches at night......

Here, we can't afford to mess with their family, you see that the second son of the old Liu family in the village is stupid and locked up in a black prison, isn't there anything you can do with him?

Let's admit it. ”

In this remote village, the village chief is equal to the village tyrant, and Qi Rourou rejected the agreement between his nephew and Lu Shangen, so this grievance and trouble are a bit big.

"I ......," Lu Shangen looked out the window.

The two rabbit cubs ran out not far away, met the adults in the family, had confidence, turned around and raised their chins at Lu Shangen, followed by two people, and knocked the raw eggs into their mouths.

The village chief's daughter-in-law stood nearby, spitting at him.

"Alas......" Lu Shangen sighed, reluctantly turned back, squatted on the ground and grabbed his hair, he was too uncomfortable.

"Ringing ringing!"

The sound of bicycle bells in the yard was followed by shouting.

"Payroll, payroll. ”

The primary school brings together a number of children in the surrounding area, there are actually a lot of students, a total of 4 teachers, Lu Shangen's pair, he is the vice principal, and there is a couple in their fifties, the male used to be a postman, and now he is the principal.

"The headmaster is back. ”

"Well, it's paid. ”

The couple was sincerely happy, and Lu Shangen jumped up with joy and rushed to the yard.

The principal pushed a bicycle stained with yellow mud, and his trouser legs were also yellow mud, standing in the yard posing and looking at him.

"Have you paid your salary?" Lu Shangen asked anxiously.

"It's not me, this time it's the leaders of the county education bureau who are here to send it personally...... Just later, the car won't come, and I'll be there in a while, so I'll come back first to boil water and make tea. ”

The headmaster smiled smugly and said, "It's the first time I've been so taken seriously. ”

…………

The hot water was boiled, the tea was brewed, and a group of six people came in the courtyard.

"Welcome, welcome. The principal hurriedly greeted, brushed the bamboo stool with his sleeves and said: "Welcome leader, it's a pity that the children are not there, they should be in line, the leader please sit, the tea picked at home on the mountain, several leaders drink and see." ”

The leader nodded coldly and asked, "Where is Teacher Lu Shangen?"

Lu Shangen, who was standing on the side, was stunned for a moment and said, "Good leader, I'm here." ”

"Ah, hello Mr. Lu, come on, come on, sit down. The leader suddenly changed his whole posture, bent over, and with a smile on his face, came to take his hand.

This attitude made Lu Shangen a little stupid.

The same goes for principals.

"Sit, sit. The leader pulled him down, turned his head and said: "Teacher Lu is young and promising, enthusiastic and dedicated, and is an excellent teacher in our county, and the backbone talent ......"

He led a man behind him and continued:

"Come, Mr. Lu, let me introduce you, this is the director of the Jinlong Development Factory in our district, you know the Jinlong Factory, that is the first one in our district to go to the Canton Fair. ”

From the district to the county, the status and influence of the director of the Wen factory are naturally different, and it doesn't matter if he is in the district, not to mention the news he brought back this time, in this era of attracting investment, even the senior officials and the district head have been alarmed.

Director Wen decided to go on this trip in person because he had already seen Jiang Che and Zheng Xinfeng's longing and attention to their old classmates in Guangzhou, thinking that if they could establish a good relationship, it would be a long-term line in the future.

In addition, the phone call of the district leader has also been called to the county.
