Chapter 53
Early the next morning, Chen Yan woke up.
After eating, Zhou An accompanied Chen Yan to the classroom.
There are a total of four classrooms, and four educated youths were selected, and Zhou An also divided them into two offices very humanely, one office for the other three male intellectuals, and one office for Chen Yan alone.
That's right, Zhou An is so blatantly abusing power for personal gain, and there are very reasonable reasons.
"Men and women should avoid suspicion, my daughter-in-law has no problem with a single person and an office, right?"
What could be the problem? The other three male intellectuals thought to themselves, if they want to mix well here, don't they all have to listen to Zhou An, the head snake? Besides, it was indeed inconvenient for Chen Yan to stay with the three of them alone, so the three of them didn't have any opinions.
A few people had already met yesterday, and the office was cleaned up and decent.
Parents who are waiting for yesterday's announcement to report with their students today.
To be honest, they are very uncertain in their hearts, and they don't know if anyone will come, after all, food and work are the most important things now, and not only do they need money to study and practice calligraphy, but also the children who can usually do housework have no time to help.
Chen Yan was also a little worried in her heart.
Among the few people, Zhou An was the most calm.
Because Zhou An knew that Zhoujia Village was actually relatively wealthy, and there was Zhou Guodong, who went to high school, so the carrots that were selected as the village head were hanging in front, he didn't believe that they didn't take the bait.
Sure enough, a group of people began to come one after another.
However, Zhou An put down the paper used to record the list in his hand, and his face was a little dark.
This aunt, although she said before that you are welcome to sign up, she didn't say that this kind of newly weaned baby should also be sent over.
And that uncle, what do you mean by asking your son to send you to class? Do you think that you can become a village chief after studying culture for a few years?
The most hateful thing is you, yes, it's that kid, you take off the hand on my daughter-in-law's lap, don't think that you are young, I don't dare to beat you, you are so at a young age, how can you get it when you grow up?
The most important thing is, don't look at my daughter-in-law and other people as bullies, just go to them and see if I'm good?
Zhou An looked at Chen Yan and the other three who were almost buried by the crowd, and then looked at himself who no one cared about, leaving a handful of bitter tears.
Pulling down the salty pork handpiece that blatantly took advantage of his daughter-in-law, Zhou An's face was not very good-looking, and he picked up the loudspeaker borrowed from Zhou Guodong, "Be quiet, give me quiet." ”
"Listen to me, listen to me, don't accept those under five years old, don't accept those over 30 years old."
"Don't want to be a fat man in one go, apply for the first grade if you don't know anything, report the second grade if you can read and write, and report the fourth grade if you want to learn English if you can write and read, understand?"
"Don't make a noise to me, noisy people, don't."
The scene was quiet for a while, and then the aunt who was holding her little grandson left, the old man who was carried by his son to school also left, and the person who wanted to go directly to junior high school and eat fat in one breath also left.
"Okay, now come and line up with me. Let's talk about it first, four months is a semester, and one dollar per semester. ”
The scene, which had been quiet just now, suddenly became lively again.
"A dollar for four months? Didn't you say you didn't want money? ”
"Yes, didn't you say that it was all given by the team? Why do you want to ask for money? Then I won't report it. ”
"I'm not going to report it either."
"Why do you want us money?"
Zhou An cleared his throat and raised the loudspeaker again, "Don't be noisy, listen to me, you don't need money to go to school, but you don't need money to buy books, you can also not pay, but when the school doesn't issue books, you can choose yourself." I tell you, it's definitely cheaper for the school to buy than for you to buy alone, think about it yourself. ”
As soon as I heard that the things bought by the school were cheap, the people in the village stopped shouting, "Dang, of course it is from the school, I have long said that the money is worth it." ”
"Yes, yes! If you want me to say that school is better. ”
Although most people find it acceptable, there are still people who leave silently.
For these people who can't see the importance of learning at all, Zhou An didn't do much to keep them.
"Okay, now come to me and pay the tuition first, and then go to them to sign up."
"First-graders, go over there."
"Second grader, go to my daughter-in-law."
"Third graders, go to the one on the left."
"Fourth-graders go to the last one."
With Zhou An's help, Chen Yan felt a lot more relaxed.
In the last count, there were 20 students in the first grade, 15 in the second grade, 15 in the third grade, and only 5 in the fourth grade.
One of them was very conspicuous, and he waited until the end before he stepped forward. This person is Wang Liping, the heroine of the melon that Zhou An and Chen Yan ate last night.
Zhou An glanced at the small radish heads around him, and then looked at Wang Liping, who stood out from the crowd, and swallowed, "Are you sure you want to come to school?" "With these little turnip heads?
Wang Liping was obviously a little embarrassed, but she still nodded.
Well, Zhou An also knows that the spoiled child is a bit stubborn.
Before he knew it, it was noon, and Zhou An picked up the kettle and took a sip to moisten his throat.
This kettle was given to Chen Yan by Zhou An at the beginning, and later brought it back after Chen Yan moved in, and Zhou An drank a big sip in front of Chen Yan when he went out in the morning, so ashamed that Chen Yan wanted to beat someone.
"Xiaoyan, let's go home for dinner."
"Okay."
Chen Yan cleaned up the shredded paper on the table, stood up and greeted the other three people, and then left with Zhou An.
Looking at the backs of Zhou An and Chen Yan, Wang Liping's expressionless face had a look of envy, it was good to have someone to accompany her.
Lin Yu raised his head, just in time to see the expression on Wang Liping's face, and smiled, "Those two people are very enviable, right?" ”
Wang Liping was stunned for a moment, turned her head, and saw that it was Lin Yu, and smiled embarrassedly, "You see, I just think that Chen Zhiqing is very courageous and will choose to be with Zhou An." ”
Lin Yu is the teacher in charge of the fourth grade and above students, and Wang Liping has just registered his name here.
The two have met a few times before, and they are still familiar.
Lin Yu also looked in the direction where the two left, Zhou An and Chen Yan were not very close, but they gave people a feeling that they couldn't get in, as if the two of them had their own world, and anyone else was superfluous.
I don't know what kind of psychology it is, Lin Yu also sighed, "Yes, it's really courageous." ”
Only those who have the courage and determination will give up the hope of returning to the city and settle down in this place.
Sometimes, giving up doesn't mean backing down, it means courage.
When everyone firmly grasped the slightest opportunity to return to the city, Chen Yan chose to give up, chose her own path, and let her life be bright and sunny, and live a wonderful life.
Who can say that Chen Yan, who gave up returning to the city, is not happy?
If you have half the courage of Chen Yan, then...
Lin Yu's gaze fell lightly on Wang Liping, and there was a deep love hidden in his eyes.
Wang Liping didn't notice it, and said goodbye to Lin Yu happily when Wang Guowang came over.
However, Wang Guowang glanced at Lin Yu several times when he left, and he didn't know why, he always felt that this educated youth was not like a good person!
In the distance, a voice could be heard.
"Brother, come over quickly."
"Alas, here it is."
"What are you doing?"
"Didn't do anything."
"Didn't do anything?"
"I really didn't do anything, Oh, our mother said that we would go to town after dinner and buy something."
"Then I'm going to buy a new head rope."
"Okay, no problem, I'll buy you two."
From time to time, it is accompanied by a girl's unique crisp voice.
"What are you doing?" Lin Yu, who was looking at it, was slapped heavily on the shoulder.
Lin Yu lowered his eyes, and his voice was faint, "It's nothing." ”
"Alright then, let's go back to dinner."
The person who came was a stupid big man, named Xu Wen. He doesn't look like a city person, but like a native of the village, stupid and scheming.
Even after a tiring morning, he was still full of energy, "I really didn't expect so many people to come to school, I'm a little excited, and from tomorrow, I will be a teacher." Hahaha. ”
As he spoke, he put his hand on Tao Lin's shoulder, and Tao Lin shook it off in disgust.
Tao Lin's tone was tinged with a hint of disgust, and his tone was all perfunctory, "Okay, good, excited, excited, don't take me, it's hot." ”
Xu Wen withdrew his hand with some disappointment, and he always felt a little uncomfortable when he didn't have something to hold.
Xu Wen didn't have much reaction to Tao Lin's dislike, he got along for so long, he naturally knew that Tao Lin had a tofu heart, and although he disliked it, he wouldn't look down on him in his heart, so he just thought Tao Lin was a fart, and he just heard it.
"Do you say, will we ever go back?" The stupid big Xu Wen suddenly broke something that everyone was expecting, but he was afraid of being broken.
Tao Lin and Lin Yu's bodies stiffened.
Originally, the three of them walked side by side, and as soon as the two of them stopped, Xu Wen naturally took a step ahead.
Sensing that there was no one around, Xu Wen turned his head and looked at the two of them suspiciously, "Why don't you leave?" Skipping lunch? ”
All right!
This is the stupid big guy they know, Xu Wen.
Maybe it was just a momentary twitch in his head.
However, just when the three of them were about to step into the Zhiqing Point, Xu Wen suddenly said another sentence, "Actually, I think it's good to stay here." ”
The eyes of the two people around him gathered, Xu Wen smiled, his smile was as honest as usual, however, Tao Lin and Lin Yu no longer felt that Xu Wen was stupid.
Xu Wen under the sun emitted a dazzling light, and the whole person seemed to be shining with the sun and the moon, and their stiff faces and cowardly souls were reflected in their eyes.
It's obviously in front of you, but there seems to be an invisible barrier separating the three of them, on one side is the new hope Xintiandi and new life where Xu Wen is, and on the other hand, they are resting on their laurels and lingering.
