Chapter 5: The Magical Fertile Soil --- 3
Yuedi's brothers and sisters drove to the regimental middle school, and the school sign of "Corps N Division Z Regiment Staff Children's School" caught Yuedi's eyes. This is a 12-year complete primary and secondary school, more than 2,800 students, the number of students is not as much as Mingyue Township School, covering an area of 3 times that of Mingyue Township Middle School, 150 acres, the school facilities are very complete, the campus environment is very elegant.
Entering the campus, a teaching building stands in the midst of flowers and willows, starting from the gate, a spacious road connects the gate of the main teaching building, the campus takes this as the central axis, the east and west wings are symmetrically expanded, the east is the student living area, the west is the student sports area, and in front of the main building is a huge playground, which is the venue for student assembly and recess exercises. The playground in front of the school building is divided into small pieces of flower and shrub belts, and if you look down from a high place, these flower and shrub belts should be NZ words. Adjacent to the school gate is a large flower shop, the flower bed is surrounded by a small flowing water channel, the water is not deep, clear to the bottom, a group of small red fish in the water swim happily, the center of the flower bed is a multi-layer cake-shaped flower bed, all kinds of flowers have budding to be released, behind the flower bed is the flag-raising platform, there are five or six sculptures on the two wings of the flag-raising platform, the easternmost one is the most touching: three sturdy warriors struggle to pull the plow, their heads seem to be about to plunge into the soil, the rope on their shoulders is deeply into their flesh, a warrior behind the plow, the plow is pierced into the ground, setting off layers of mud waves。 Most of the other sculptures are ancient Chinese educators or modern heroes.
Bypass the flower bed, come to the kitchen window, the window displays students' composition, calligraphy, art exhibits, through the kitchen window, enter the central main teaching building, the teaching building has four floors, the classroom is spacious and bright, the white wall is inlaid with a green wall skirt about one meter high, more than ten fluorescent lamps are hung on the roof, and the students sit neatly in the classroom and listen to the teachers' teachings.
Yueshan took Yuedi to the third floor, found the principal's office, Yueshan knocked on the door, the principal opened the door, and invited him in. Yueshan explained his intentions, and the principal Guo Chengqiang asked Yuedi: "Please ask about the academic qualifications, majors, teacher qualification certificates, teaching experience, and the situation in the compilation."
Yuedi introduced herself: "My name is Li Yuedi, a native of Sichuan, with a college degree, graduated from music, no teacher qualification certificate, substitute teaching in my hometown in Sichuan for 5 months, and there is no formal establishment."
Principal Guo looked at Yue Di and said: "In your case, it is difficult to find a formal job here, and you need to be a substitute teacher for a long time. Would you like to come and bring these two disciplines?"
Yue Di: "Principal, does the school have a piano?
Principal Guo: "There is no piano in the school, only electric piano, accordion, and electronic organ"
Yue Di "Yes".
Principal Guo: "In this way, you go back first to prepare for the junior high school Chinese teacher, I will communicate with the group, and then call you to come to the trial lecture."
Yuedi: "Can I ask about the treatment?"
Principal Guo: "You can ask, the salary of substitute teachers is 80% of the third level of regular teachers, I don't know how much, I don't know how much, other benefits are the same as regular teachers, and when the time is the same as that of regular teachers, they can be evaluated for professional titles, and they can apply for regularization if they have the opportunity." The school has a teacher's dormitory, you can live in a single room, the area ranges from 35 to 60 square meters, you need to teach a symbolic little rent, a year's rent is about half a month's salary, the collective dormitory does not pay rent, the school has a canteen, you can also cook your own meals in the dormitory."
Yue Di "That's still good, I can try to teach Chinese first, but if I teach Chinese, I definitely don't teach music well, my major is music"
Principal Guo: "Otherwise, you teach a Chinese class in the second class of junior high school, and then take two music lessons in the junior high school class, but to be honest, the school does not lack music teachers, and the workload of Chinese teachers is only half a person, but there is a shortage of 3 English teachers, go back and wait, leave the phone, and I will inform you to try to teach."
Yueshan took Yuedi out of the principal's office, Yueshan was very happy, the principal basically agreed with his sister to teach, the so-called go back and wait, the content contained is very rich, and he needs to be a parent to understand carefully, Yueshan thought, this is too easy to do, go back and slaughter sheep, get two Chinese cigarettes, two bottles of Moutai, and knock the principal to the ground tonight, these things will not go to Yuedi that bull to say, just do it yourself. He was going to find Li Lichun, Li Yuqian's teacher to understand the situation, and let Yuedi go around the campus by herself.
Yue Di came to the back of the teaching building, which is mainly a place for students to relax and exercise, tall trees cover various styles of pavilions and corridors, forest paths are connected, and there is a stone table and stone chair for students to learn and chat three or five steps away. There are dozens of outdoor table tennis tables behind the teaching building, the students are training in twos and threes, and then there are three light basketball courts, a large group of students, shouting and running on the court, all kinds of fitness equipment around the court, men and women's children, laughing and laughing in the meantime, a red ribbon-like path runs through the fitness field and the rockery, a few girls are next to the rockery, teasing the small fish in the pond with a small stick, the rockery is made of some strange-shaped stones, there is a spring water flowing out on the top of the rockery, colliding with the strange stones, forming a transparent waterfall, the moss wraps the strange stones, just like a huge piece of jasper, the algae floats in the tank under the rockery, the fish walk through, and people want to play, which makes people linger.
The sports field is green and grassy. It is a standard athletics field, with a four-hundred-meter track paved with coal sand and gravel, and bunkers for the high and long jumps scattered at both ends of the football field. Several classes of students are preparing for sports on the track of the field.
The more Yue Di looks at it, the more she loves this school, and if she can become a teacher in this school, it is also a very happy thing, the beauty of this campus is beyond the reach of Mingyue Township Middle School in her hometown. But such a good school actually does not have a piano, this is what she can't understand, the outdoor equipment of Mingyue Township Middle School in her hometown is too far away, but people have pianos, which may be the connotation development that Principal Zhang Xinzhou said, the school here attaches more importance to the outside show, and does not pay much attention to the connotation of the reason, it may also be that this is a children's school, not based on examinations, and the requirements for teaching quality are not as high as those in her hometown.
When the sun set, Yue Di went home. Yueshan saw that Zhao Xiaoli hadn't gone home yet, and knew that he hadn't finished watering yet, so he drove to pick up Zhao Xiaoli, Yuedi stayed at home and had nothing to do, she wanted to help her brother cook, but she didn't come for a long time, and she couldn't find where the things were, so she just went to help feed those chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep. She counted the sheep, 8, six lambs, two big sheep, the largest one is like a calf baby, the chickens and ducks are still eight lives have not eaten as if they have not eaten, desperately snatching food, racing the speed of swallowing food, in order to occupy the favorable terrain, do not hesitate to be rough with their companions, Yue Di has no idea to appreciate the battle of the chickens and ducks, inexplicable melancholy in her heart, English, and English, this life has an enmity with English, otherwise, how to oppose yourself everywhere.
Yue Di looked at the chicken and duck in a daze, a pair of big hands covered her eyes from behind, she was shocked into a cold sweat, let go of her big hands, it turned out to be sister-in-law Zhao Xiaoli, when did Zhao Xiaoli come back, Yue Di really didn't know at all, sister-in-law asked Yue Di to come into the house to help cook, saying that someone was going to buy sheep, and your brother would slaughter it and send it over later. Yue Di went into the house to help her sister-in-law.
"Sister-in-law, do you want to boil water and scald your hair?"
"Silly sister, slaughtering sheep doesn't burn their hair, they are skinned."
"I don't want the skin."
"Leather, you can sell it, make leather jackets and clothes"
"Oops, I'm really stupid, I can know all this, I can't think of it, I'm reading dead books."
"Is sheepskin easy to peel off?"
"10 minutes".
"So soon, I want to see it."
"You dare to look, I thought you were scared so I called you over, so if you are not afraid, go and help your brother."
Yueshan entered the sheepfold, with a rope to lasso the calf-like sheep, the sheep is very docile, and did not do too much resistance, Yueshan took the sheep out of the sheepfold, came to a tree in the yard, he used a very thin rope without waiting for the sheep to react to tie the two hind legs together, the sheep fell to the ground, the sheep found that something was wrong, shouted loudly, the two front legs resisted very strongly, trying to break free from the binding of the hind legs, but it had a chance, Yueshan quickly tied the front legs, pressed the sheep with the knee of the right leg, pulled out the knife, only a piercing, pulled out the knife, blood spurted out, poor sheep, the front and rear legs only stepped on a few times, and then a life whimpered。 Yueshan quickly cut the sheepskin from the knife edge, along the midline of the abdomen, gently lifted it with his hands, and slowly the sheepskin that was lifted became bigger and bigger, and then quickly rolled between the skin and flesh of the sheep's belly with his fist, and in three or five minutes, a large piece of sheepskin was peeled off. Yueshan asked Yuedi to get a big basin, Yueshan opened the belly of the sheep with a knife, took out the haggis, the sheep's heart seemed to be still beating and twitching, Yueshan cut off the sheep's head, put a whole mutton into a large snakeskin bag, tied the seal and put it on the car, Yuedi estimated that the process of slaughtering the sheep by her brother took more than ten minutes at most, and some of the essentials were not seen clearly, and the mutton was loaded into the car.
Zhao Xiaoli took away the sheep liver, sheep heart, Yueshan cleaned up the sheep intestines and sheep belly, and it took more than ten minutes to clean up, sprinkled a large handful of salt and a small packet of alkaline noodles, flooded the sheep belly and sheep intestines, and let Zhao Xiaoli wash them again in an hour or two.
When it was getting dark, the two children went home, and before they entered the door, they said, "Mom, Mom, I'm starving, is the meal ready?"
Yueshan cleaned up the table, Xiaoli brought the food to the table, Li Lichun and Li Yuqian were like prisoners released from prison, eating and chewing wildly, the vegetables on the table, the meat could see the downward movement trajectory, the autumn wind swept the leaves, and finally the dog's stomach was full, Sven came down, and kept saying: "Auntie eats meat, aunt, this is the heart of the sheep, but it is delicious, this is the liver of the sheep, it is delicious." Yuedi was a little unaccustomed to eating haggis, and always felt that there was a smell, and when she saw that the children were eating so fragrantly, she also ate it beautifully.
At more than 11 o'clock in the evening, Yueshan knocked on the door of the principal's house, put down a sheep, two Chinese cigarettes and two bottles of Moutai wine were about to go out, the principal pulled him, smiled slightly, and said with some shame, "Oh, big brother, you are too polite, don't worry, I will work hard." Yueshan understands that there are many reasons why Xiaomei can be accepted or not.
