Jiang Lesheng's birthday gift to Cong Jing is an ink painting of his own graffiti, the color of the picture is elegant and interesting: half of the weeping willow filament by the pond brushes the water, and the lotus leaves with dew drops in the pool protrude from three lotus stems, one milky white bud, one pink bloom, and one branch bears tender green lotus pod. Two seal characters in the upper right corner "Lotus Song", three lines of fly-headed books in the vertical row on the left, excerpts from Zhou Dunyi's "Love Lotus Said" - out of the mud but not stained, clear ripples but not demons, straight outside, not vines, not incense, far Yiqingtingting, net planting, can be viewed from afar, but can not be blasphemed

There is no signature on the screen, and the inscription is "Autumn Moon Study Book in the Year of B". Those who don't know think it's Cong Jing's own work.

In August last year, Jiang Lesheng and Cong Jing came to teach at the children's school at the same time, and they did not have much contact with each other in the same office. When they met in the morning, they nodded and greeted each other when they met alone: "Eaten", "Where did you go", "Came back"? Not intimate is not estranged.

The school building is tight, and there are three offices, one large and two small: one small is the principal's office, and Lin Bai is alone; In a general affairs room, there are three people: General Affairs Lao Li Tou, Accountant Ren Fengying and Physical Education Teacher Lu Kuan. The large office has more than 40 square meters, seven classes and eight class teachers, and the desks are put together into two squares: Zhang Zhi against Li Feng and Liu Ya against Du Pu in grades 1 to 4 against the east wall; Leaning on the west wall, Tong Xiaoyuan vs. Zhang Jinnu, You Hongshan vs. Jiang Lesheng. Caring for more cultivation, Cong Jing's table is set on the top of Liu Ya and Du Pu.

Every day in the first class of mathematics, the other seven teachers all went to the classroom, and only Jiang Lesheng, who taught Chinese, and Cong Jing, who taught Yinmei, were left in the huge office. The two of them went their own business, and there was the occasional sound of turning the pages, as if the other person did not exist. Cong Jing occasionally wanted to say something, but Jiang Lesheng replied with only one or two words, and he didn't raise his head when he was busy. One day, Cong Jing flipped through the idiom dictionary, flipped through it, and suddenly giggled. Jiang Lesheng asked her in surprise what she was laughing at, and she showed him the dictionary, which turned out to be the entry "sit still". She playfully said that this idiom could not be more appropriate to describe you. Jiang Lesheng smiled awkwardly and responded casually, right? but still bury his head in his own business.

Since the first time he saw Cong Jing, his creamy face and elegant and demure temperament made a great impression on him, and he immediately remembered the lyrics of Yue Opera "Sister Lin fell from the sky, like a light cloud just coming out". It is human nature to love beauty, and Jiang Lesheng regards her as the embodiment of beauty, a hibiscus that cannot be picked from afar. In front of her, the heart should be as calm as water, and any frivolity and shallowness are blasphemy.

Jiang Lesheng read "Red and Black" very early. Thinking that his background is more humble than Yu Lian - escaping from the clutches of Xu Qihu and coming to the Great Northern Wilderness, having food and a stable job is already hard, and the upper class society is unattainable for him. Cong Jing was born in a big cadre family and has a noble blood like Martel, so she must maintain self-esteem in front of her, and must not write inferiority and self-inferiority on her face. He was a little pitiful for You Hongshan opposite, his eyes were always like a stealing cat staring at people from time to time, why bother?

Influenced by the novel Jane Eyre, Cong Jing values dignity as much as life. On the title page of her diary is Jane Eyre's famous quote: Human value equals dignity and love.

She is very disgusted with snobbery and flattery, she does not have the sense of superiority common to the children of cadres, she is humble and polite to people, and cherishes the best innocence in human nature. The three-year teacher teacher was obsessed with painting and staves, and only wanted to be a primary school music teacher for life.

Liu Ya has low self-esteem because her father is a peasant worker, and she feels that she can become a teacher. Cong Jing widened her curious eyes and asked puzzledly: Father is father, you are you, why should you bear your father's fault? Have you read Jane Eyre? Jane said that each person is accountable to God for his own actions and cannot ask others to take responsibility for his own destiny.

Liu Ya looked confused and asked in surprise: Who is Jane? What is the ingredient in his house?

Cong Jing unconsciously developed a good impression and admiration for Jiang Lesheng. I think he has a different temperament, and his articles and words are very beautiful. Both are musical, and his erhu blends perfectly with her accordion; She had listened to his lectures, and her language was concise and her sense of humor was no less than that of the teachers she admired when she was a student. She even liked his slightly melancholy eyes, as the sketch teacher had said that melancholy was also a kind of beauty.

Before the summer vacation, the school held a summary meeting. Sun Junhu, secretary of the party committee, and Wu Bande, director of the political department, rushed to congratulate them. Secretary Sun said affectionately: Thank you for your hard work. The main task of the Laogai Farm is to reform people and adults who have committed crimes. Teachers teach and educate people, so that the educated children become useful talents, in a sense, your work is more meaningful, and you contribute more to society!

Secretary Sun looked at his watch and said: I still have to catch a meeting to take a leave of absence from the teachers, and I invite Director Wu to be the representative here. Oops, arriving late and leaving early, I'm not a good student.

Before the words could be spoken, the jeep parked on the playground sounded its horn.

Secretary Sun walked out of the door, and suddenly remembered something, and asked Principal Lin, who sent him, to call Jiang Lesheng over, open the door of the principal's office and say a few words.

Summoned by the secretary, Jiang Lesheng couldn't help but be a little nervous. A few days ago, Principal Lin revealed to him that Qianjin Middle School wanted to transfer him to teach Chinese, but he didn't know what the attitude of the field leaders was, so he could be mentally prepared.

Sun Junhu opened the cigarette case and took out one, and handed him the cigarette case casually. Jiang Lesheng shook his hand and thanked him, and most of his nervousness disappeared. Secretary Sun said Let's make a long story short, you have taught well this year, and you have won glory for the farm, and the children and parents are satisfied. People are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, and Advance Middle School wants to transfer you. There is no impermeable wall, I'm afraid you already know about it, and I want to hear your personal opinion.

Jiang Lesheng's warm current surged all over his body. He said sincerely: Secretary Sun, President Lin, thank the leaders for paying so much attention to me. Teaching is my job, teaching students well is my job, and I am grateful to the leaders for giving me the opportunity to display my talents. I am from Maoshan Farm, and everything is subject to the organization.

These are not polite words, and anyone has to listen to the organization. It is polite for leaders to ask for personal opinions.

Secretary Sun praised: Okay, enlightened. I've read the novels you wrote, and the level is good, and Maoshan has a place for you. He turned his face to Principal Lin: I told Lao Xue, and the transfer index will be given priority to Xiao Jiang to solve, you can help remember it.

Returning to the venue, Wu Bande is making a speech: Coming to see you today shows that the party committee here cares about and attaches great importance to the education work. He spoke a series of empty words such as carrying out the activities of studying Mao Xuan in depth and comprehensively implementing the educational policy, and his voice became stern with two thick eyebrows that drooped downward, and his voice became stern: There are several issues that ring the alarm bell here: First, it is necessary to strengthen the building of the contingent of teachers, strive to transform the bourgeois world outlook, and pay more attention to those who are not from good backgrounds; The second is to implement the class line among the students, not to let the children of employed peasants and workers become cadres, and what kind of people to cultivate is a matter of position! Third, we should pay attention to the image of the people's teachers, and do not engage in the bourgeois talent and beauty. I have no objection to teachers talking about people, but it is necessary to prevent bad influence on students. I won't talk much about the time relationship today, who is seated in the right seat. If there is a change, if there is none, it will be exempted, and it will be good to change it!

It was like an autumn wind sweeping, everyone looked at each other, and Principal Lin was also confused.

There are quite a few teachers from poor backgrounds. Needless to say, the children of employed agricultural workers are naturally part of the poor family composition. Elementary school students also have a class line for cadres on duty? Who is the bourgeois genius and beauty referring to?

Wu Bande's words not only seemed to be looking at the wind, but also seemed to be targeted. Principal Lin guessed that someone must have made a small report and said that it was a long story!

And so it was. Yesterday, Honglu called You Hongshan to the political office, saying that Director Wu was going to attend the school summary meeting and wanted to touch the situation in the school through him. Wu Bande encouraged him: It's okay, just say it, no one dares to retaliate against you!

You Hongshan spit out the evil anger in his heart: the school did not highlight the political atmosphere, and Principal Lin focused on teaching in addition to teaching; The composition of the teaching team is complex, and those with bad backgrounds are more popular than those with good backgrounds; The selection of student cadres does not implement the class line, and the children of employed peasants and workers are honest and obedient, and more are elected than the children of basic workers of cadres; Jiang Lesheng loves to play erhu, and the songs he plays are soft, and everyone calls him a genius......

Wu Bande stopped the pen in his hand and asked: I heard that you are in love with Cong Jing? Also pay attention to the impact!

You Hongshan couldn't help but be overjoyed: Director Wu, have you heard about it too? Our classmates have had an emotional foundation for three years, and the relationship is not very clear at present. I want to ask you to do her job, and your words definitely work!

Wu Bande was deeply impressed by Jiang Lesheng's being called a talented man, and said at the meeting that he became a "bourgeois talented and beautiful woman".

What does Director Wu's alarm bell mean? The more Jiang Lesheng listened, the more ridiculous and bizarre he felt, and he couldn't hold back his impulse to speak. The young man is too sensitive, too serious in the face of things, and speaks straightforwardly and recklessly.

He said: I would like to clarify a question. Of the 59 students in our class, 19 of them came from the families of cadres and basic workers, accounting for one-third. Six class committees were elected by secret ballot, including four children of peasant workers, and the proportion of the two was exactly the same. On that day, Mr. You supervised the vote and announced the list of candidates on the spot. Primary school students are only twelve or thirteen years old, is it necessary to look at the cadres from their families to select classes?

He believed that You Hongshan was behind the trouble, and his speech specifically emphasized the list announced by his supervisors.

For a while, the air froze, and people were looking at Wu Bande's face. The third sister, Jiang Lehua, stared at her anxiously and motioned to her younger brother to stop talking. Principal Lin and Du Pu also sweated for him, and the last sentence was particularly inappropriate.

Wu Bande laughed dryly: Teacher Xiao Jiang sat down and dared to expose his thoughts. It is said that you are proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and everyone calls you a genius? With all due respect, your statement reveals that your ideological consciousness is not high. Don't underestimate class cadres, this is an opportunity to train and cultivate people from an early age, and this opportunity is given to whom and who is not given, including the major rights and wrongs of the class line, right?

Jiang Lesheng was anxious to argue, trying to bring out Confucius's view that there is no class in teaching, so as to prove that the cadres of primary school students should not look at their background, but should have equal opportunities. Wu Bande waved his hand to stop him: Don't worry, listen to what everyone has to say.

You Hongshan spoke, and his tone was quite heavy: I admit that this class selection was derelict in my duty, and I did not agree on candidates in advance, and let the students nominate themselves and let them go freely. I would like to thank Director Wu for sounding the alarm bell and saying that in the future, I will stand firmly on the proletarian position and train the children of cadres and basic workers, and I also hope that Mr. Jiang will cooperate with me.

You Hongshan's speech relieved people's suspicion of his complaint, and Wu Bande nodded in satisfaction. In many cases, humility and obedience can please the leader, and even if the defense is full of reason, it is doomed to lose after the impassioned argument. Fortunately, Jiang Lesheng's argument was stopped -- it would be even more great if he threw out the outdated theories that have no class of teaching!

The teachers scrambled to speak, saying that they remembered the alarm bell sounded by Director Wu. Cong Jing didn't say a word, she was savoring Jiang Lesheng and You Hongshan's speeches, until Wu Bande asked Teacher Cong, don't you talk about it? It's like waking up from a dream.

Cong Jing was named, and had to blush and perfunctory: I have learned a lot since I joined the work. Our team of teachers is full of vigor and enthusiasm, and you are all my senior brothers and sisters, and I want to learn from you. Director Wu, you are a revolutionary senior, and we must keep your teachings firmly in mind.

Wu Bande felt very uncomfortable when he heard "If there is a change, if there is none, it will be exempted", but it was difficult to say anything because of the situation, on the contrary, he couldn't help but praise it: After all, the authentic normal graduate, the level is different! He said in a flattering tone: Your parents have great hopes for you, and yesterday your mother called to ask you to join the party......

Wu Bande's fawning caused her great disgust. She interrupted him mercilessly: Director Wu, I hate it most when people are in front of my parents. I'm not a three-year-old, they're them, I'm me.

Wu Bande was bored in public, his open mouth couldn't close for a long time, he glanced at her angrily, and said coldly: Individual comrades are arrogant and arrogant, and the young lady's style has to be changed!
