The days flowed slowly and urgently, Du Xiaoming became more and more anxious, and finally on August 25, the central school notified the convening of the principal's meeting, 3 o'clock in the afternoon. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The conference room was lively again, and the principals who had parted for a summer vacation accosted each other and greeted each other, and the smoke was filled and laughter boiled. Except for the principal of the tavern elementary school, Guoliang, who did not come, there was one more teaching director of the elementary school, and the old face basically did not change.

Director Yang's footsteps were still capable and heavy, which made the noise of the entire conference room stop abruptly. The director sat down indifferently, and the Big Dipper on his face was firm and dignified.

"The fall semester is imminent, occupy everyone's summer vacation time, invite everyone back, the central topic is the appointment of teachers in the autumn, the central school is mainly responsible for the appointment of principals, the principals according to the school establishment of the appointment of teachers in each school, the list will be handed in tomorrow morning, in principle, small adjustments and large stability, the following according to the central school leadership team research report to the town government through the 2012-2013 Jixiang Town school leadership list." Director Yang said straight to the point.

Du Xiaoming listened calmly and prayed.

Du Xiaoming's heart was pounding, like a war drum thundering.

"The principal of the tavern elementary school, Du Xiaoming......" The voice made Du Xiaoming's brain blank, and there were two strands of water in the corners of his eyes.

It wasn't until the deputy director of the central school made a concluding speech that Du Xiaoming tried to swallow back the tears swirling in his eyes.

Deputy Director Fang's summary was tactful and forceful, "There may be dissatisfaction with the incumbent, but the members of our leadership team are also measured left and right, a good principal is a good school, and the people in some places have very strong requirements and need a good principal, so some capable principals are placed in some special and difficult places, I hope to understand." At the same time, we have been paralyzed for a long time and have no improvement in the work, and the leaders with great opinions of the people have been replaced, and we hope that all the principals can focus on the overall situation in this semester's work, be honest and self-disciplined, and use their powers prudently. He has little power as a principal, but he dominates the direction of the development of a school and the direction of the development of students during his tenure. ”

The room burst into crackling applause.

The principals walked out of the conference room one after another, some with a bright look and some with sad faces.

Principal Liu, who was a neighbor of the original school, followed behind Du Xiaoming and whispered, "Xiao Du, according to your grades and ability, I think I can transfer you to a school closer to the town this year. If I had known, it would have been better for us to continue to be neighbors. ”

"Eating public meals is under the control of the public, who makes us unable to dominate ourselves, teaching is the same everywhere, training people in difficult situations, and the leader gives me a chance to exercise. To be honest, I really don't have a way to give me a few hundred students now, what I lack is work experience. Du Xiaoming said with a wry smile as he walked, self-comfort is the best medicine for his mood now, and he suddenly understood that there is a saying in officialdom circulating on the Internet that there are many government officials who will be in a mood if they are not promoted for three years. The key is that there is no balance between giving and returning, feeling that their dignity has been hit and their face has been humiliated, and many people rarely overcome their own psychology.

"You are a big ghost, to be honest, Guoliang just lacks your virtue, Guoliang always likes to flaunt himself with a clear and high, and feels that he is very good, but he has ruined his reputation. In fact, to do our grassroots work, we need to lower our own frame, let ourselves settle down, and adapt to the environment and accept challenges with a learning attitude. Only by putting down your value can you increase your value, and the temporary low will eventually lead to high achievements in the future. ”

Du Xiaoming sneered, "As soon as you say that I have become a hidden master, I am the first to teach, and I am a man in my duty, I am simple, and I have no other capital." ”

"To be honest, your biggest capital now is young, the so-called future life is terrifying, and the future is bright, which is like me in my fifties, not seeking no merit but no fault."

Principal Liu's words are always so optimistic, and Du Xiaoming feels much better.

At the gate of the central school, Zheng Haoqin of Huangzhuang Primary School called out to him, and said mysteriously, "The director talked to me yesterday afternoon and asked me to go to the tavern, to be honest, I have been the principal for more than 20 years, and I will retire immediately, and let me go so far, I said I won't go, I might as well leave my job without pay, and then I strongly recommend you to go, where are you the most suitable candidate, the director said that someone recently sued you for a good gang, I said young people, it's normal to run well, a small problem is a good piece of material, now you go, do a good job, Don't let me down. ”

An old and cunning guy, he picked his own son and asked Du Xiaoming to be grateful to him, he wanted to scold the leader, why did he transfer work and talk to others, but he was unconscious, and at the same time he also felt that it was not easy to lead the work, after all, the old comrades had to be taken care of in all aspects.

Du Xiaoming thought about the difficulties of the leader, and said with a smile, "I will have to ask you more in the future." ”

Zheng Haoqin grinned and said, "There was a lot of work last night, this stomach is uncomfortable, or let's touch the silver bowl again this morning." Then I rubbed my stomach very comfortably.

"There will be a chance later." Du Xiaoming also patted his belly.

Lunch was heavy, and the sound of eating was extremely loud and harsh.

Liu Xiaomi still ate two bites and was noisy to eat, and as soon as the chopsticks were put down, she was noisy to play.

Liu Can pressed her on the chair and said, "School will start soon, I will sue your teacher." ”

"Yes, you sue now." Liu Xiaomi bounced up and stood on the chair, looking condescending and fearless.

"Let your dad lead you to the tavern at the beginning of school, eat school meals, and see if you are still picky eaters." The old mother-in-law said inappropriately, and Du Xiaoming's nerves immediately tensed.

"Just go." Liu Xiaomi jumped out of the chair and hugged Du Xiaoming's neck.

This made Du Xiaoming very excited, he picked up a pair of chopsticks and noodles and said, "Come on, dad feed you."

Liu Xiaomi seemed to have a tacit understanding, and ate with a big mouth.

Liu Can finished eating and put down the bowl. "You have to find a leader to theorize well, just let you drill the stab cage, your key is to be promoted, you will definitely not be able to achieve results in the first year, look at the results of five years, you have a year to drag, let alone five years, don't want to be promoted in ten years."

"The leader will think about it." Du Xiaoming said, "The personnel has been decided, after all, the height of the leadership station is different, and it is the overall situation." ”

Liu Can glanced at Du Xiaoming, Du Xiaoming planned not to continue the topic, but the mobile phone rang, it was Director Yang's, Director Yang said, come to the central school in the afternoon.

Du Xiaoming felt that this call was very timely, in fact, he was not afraid of any bad environment in his heart, after all, he had been in such an environment for ten years, ten years, he was already familiar with the atmosphere here, the people here. It's just that he is afraid of his family's complaints, although this complaint contains love, but it also contains Du Xiaoming's status in the family and among the neighbors.

Director Yang said: "If you are asked to run so far, you have to do a good job at home." ”

Du Xiaoming smiled bitterly and said, "It's okay, the family supports me, but I'm afraid that I won't be able to do well." ”

"Let you go, but also after repeated discussions with the leadership team, I feel that you are the most suitable, and put the most reassuring person in the most unsafe position, after all, all aspects of there need an upright person to reverse the situation, and the problem should be divided into two, and the most difficult place often has special opportunities."

"To be honest, I really don't have a score in my heart, thank you for trusting me so much and giving me this opportunity to exercise." Du Xiaoming knew that the personnel had settled, and his wife Liu Can's words could only be said to be a reduction in his own conduct, not to mention that he was just a spitting star at the corner of the leader's mouth, and it would be gone when he wiped it, he was still young, and there were many opportunities to go to a place with good conditions, maybe this was the turning point, and cooperating with the leader was the wisest choice.

Director Yang seemed to be very useful to this sentence, smiled with satisfaction, and then said simply: "Let you come here this afternoon, five things: The first thing is that according to the problems reported by the former principal of the tavern and the common people, the main problems are: (1) The cook likes to go to the female dormitory to spy on female students at night in the school, and has an improper relationship with a few women nearby. (2) The price of the former general affairs manager was high and the accounts were chaotic. (3) In society, a young man surnamed Hu often goes to school to eat and drink, bully and insult teachers. (4) The younger brother of an old principal near the school has been in prison for five years, but he has not paid the school a penny of electricity. 95) This year, there is a special post to teach in your school, she is a novice, you have to lead her well, don't let her take a detour. The central school arranged her at the nearby 'auspicious hostel', and you can go and receive it. ”

An invisible pressure suddenly hit, and Du Xiaoming suddenly felt that the tavern was much more complicated than Shanghe School—internal and external troubles.

Du Xiaoming smiled bitterly and glanced at Director Yang's office: "Solve it slowly, there is any problem with the support of the leader." ”

Coming out of the director's office, Du Xiaoming felt that there were thousands of words in his heart and nowhere to speak, and no one listened.

The special post teacher is a very small and delicate kind, the facial features are delicate, the thin eyebrows are carefully carved and neatly carved, the eyes are clear and flashing, the faint lipstick makes the whole face pleasing to the eye, not tall, about 1.6 meters, but the clothes look very flamboyant, the delicate belly is like a circle of clear water rippling on the waist of the trousers, if it is not for the introduction of the deputy director of the central school, it is difficult to integrate the glorious people's teachers together, after all, this is the countryside, despite the rapid development of the rural economy, but such a dress is still very avant-garde in the teaching team.

The girl had a guitar in her hand, and her mother stood behind her, carrying a large bag, well-dressed, with two deep wrinkles lurking on her forehead, and a few white hairs visibly swaying in front of her forehead.

Deputy Director Fang said: "This is Du Xiaoming, the principal of the tavern elementary school, that is, the leader of your Du Juan, this is the new teacher Du Juan, and this is her mother. ”

The mother immediately put down her burden, quickly took out a box of cigarettes, and handed one to her: "Smoke one, and the girl will rely on you to take care of her in the future." ”

Du Xiaoming signaled not to suck and said, "It's okay, it's all a family." ”

The cuckoo didn't say a word, and her mother smiled brightly and said: "I have a house to take care of, I can rest assured, your sister is small and ignorant, if there is anything wrong in the future, you are the leader who should advise." ”

"I can't talk about teaching, now college students have both ability and political integrity, and they are not conspicuous in the city, but they are not very good in the countryside, and she will be the treasure of our school in the future." After Du Xiaoming finished speaking, his mind immediately came to mind 10 years ago, he was sent to Jixiang Town by his father, at that time the road conditions were very poor, all the way bumpy, as soon as he got out of the car, his father vomited happily, a mess, and then slept groggily in the hostel for two days, but he had no choice but to report to the central school in person, at that time it was still very wooden, the leader asked, he answered like a mosquito buzzing, at that time I felt that I was really a nest. Later, when my father left, he said that if he couldn't do it, he would spend some money on the relationship and be closer to home, because it was too mountainous. I said, let's talk about it, after all, it's an iron rice bowl. My father burst into tears, and I felt like a sinner, at a loss. My father is gone, my father has never been here again, I won't let me come, first, I get motion sickness, second, I don't want to touch my father's bloodshot eyes, and third, I have taken root here and can take care of myself.

"Principal, my daughter will be handed over to you, I have to go home today, I have to catch a special car, otherwise I won't be able to go back tomorrow, I only asked for two days off from the factory." Du Juan's mother's words interrupted Du Xiaoming's contemplation, and when Du Xiaoming looked up, Du Juan's mother's eyes were red, like his father ten years ago, Du Xiaoming suddenly felt a little sad.

Du Xiaoming came back to his senses and asked, "Special car, how far is home from here?" ”

"Five or six hundred miles, from the city. There is only one shuttle bus a day to your county, and the bus at 6 o'clock tomorrow morning must take a bus to the county this afternoon. The cuckoo's mother said as she struck a posture of leaving.

"It seems that you are also an anxious person, and I can't keep you, so we will send you." Deputy Director Fang said kindly, and Du Xiaoming also followed.

"No, just send it to your daughter."

Du Xiaoming still wanted to leave, but Deputy Director Fang took his hand and whispered, let the two of them talk. Then he said aloud, "Come and go around when you have time." ”

"Definitely come, the girl is connected to the heart."

Looking at the back of Du Juan and his mother, Du Xiaoming went back to ten years ago, after he said goodbye to Deputy Director Fang, he called his father: "Dad, what are you busy with today?" ”

"Breaking corn, where is it this year?"

"The bartending is up."

"Far from the street?"

"Not far."

"You have to work hard everywhere, don't let the people scold you."

"Well, where's my mom?" Du Xiaoming immediately changed the topic.

"Still at home, I'll ask her to call you at night."

"Okay, then it's okay for anything else, I'll hang up."

"It's okay, when will you come back, when the sesame oil will come down, keep it for you, come back early and get it."

"Okay." Du Xiaoming simply hung up the phone, he just wanted to listen to his parents' voice or let his parents listen to his voice, he was afraid of his parents' chattering concern.
