At noon, it was drizzling. www.biquge.info In a tavern in Shaoxing County, the shopkeeper lazily looked at the drizzle outside, with a sad look on his face, no wonder he would look listless, what kind of police did the governor want to do, what police school was built in Hangzhou, what kind of "public security donation" did the business shops on the street have to pay, and this tavern naturally has to pay this "public security donation".

"Hey, what a new deal, I think it's just a change of method to make money!"

It's no wonder that the shopkeeper complains so much, what new policies are being implemented in various places now, what new army is being trained, but whether it is a new policy or a new army, it is all piled up with silver in vain, where does this silver come from, of course, it is levied from the people, and this government is changing its methods to raise taxes day by day, how can it not make people worry.

After the Yuan lord who suppressed the rebellion in Hangzhou took office, he first collected donations for the aftermath, saying that it was for the aftermath of Zhejiang, and then levied "health donations" to build a public toilet in the city, these two things are also good things, after all, the former makes the displaced people in the city scarce, and the latter makes the smell in the city dissipate in the summer, and even the garbage that has accumulated for decades and hundreds of years has been cleaned up. Nowadays, Lord Yuan has done a lot of things in Zhejiang, but the silver is also less levy, and each donation is not much, but if it is added together, it is not a minority, especially if he does this small business, the tax is even more than one day by day.

But what is even more worrying is this business, it is raining lightly outside, this business is naturally much more deserted than before, there are two cloth sellers in the small shop are drinking and chatting, in addition, there are some people standing under the eaves to avoid the rain. Deserted business. only made the whole person of the shopkeeper completely lose a trace of spirit.

Although it seems to have no spirit. But when a figure flashed by the door, he still noticed it, and sure enough, someone came in to avoid the rain! Or is it a person who wears a long shirt, he must be a rich customer, and how many people who work hard wear a long shirt? When he was about to greet the guests, he just turned his face, and the face of the shopkeeper, who was still a little expectant, changed, although he came in a long shirt. But when you look at it, you know that it is a poor sour.

The guest was a poor man in his thirties with a haggard face. Although he was wearing a long shirt, he looked a little shabby, and although he was very clean, he had more than a dozen patches on it, but he was just a poor and sour talent.

In fact, in Shaoxing, there are thousands of talented people who have not been admitted to the fame after being admitted to the exam, and there are thousands of people no matter how good they are. But now the show is not as good as the dog, don't say it's a show talent. Even if you are admitted, what can you do? In the past, he could still be a master, but now he is ...... No one wants this master!

When the shopkeeper who was too lazy to greet the poor sour guest put his eyelids together, the poor sour show took two steps, ran into the store, stretched out his hand to pat the rain on his body, and sat down at the first empty table outside the two cloth sellers.

The shopkeeper can not greet politely, but the man needs to be greeted, and the guy who is used to seeing the world said that he poured a cup of tea and sent it, nodded and greeted:

"Sir, please have tea."

But there was no respect in that tone, and the poor Xiucai dared to walk thirsty and tired, picked up the teacup, drank it dry, and smiled:

"Man, please pour me another glass."

Although he was a little reluctant, the guy still squeezed out some laughter and said:

"You're welcome, sir."

Turning around, he poured another cup for him, put it on the table, and asked:

"What would you like to eat, sir?"

Poor Xiucai glanced at the table of the two cloth sellers, and then said with a smile:

"Just give me a bowl of rice and two slices of pickles."

Sure enough, it's a poor talent!

It's just a big man's business, but no matter how small the business is, it's still a business, not to mention, this tavern was originally doing this kind of small business.

After a while, the guy brought a bowl of rice and a plate of pickles with a plate, and put them on the table with a smile

"Sir, you slow down ......"

After a while, after eating the bowl of rice, Qian Xiucai smacked the corners of his mouth, looked at the guy and asked with a smile:

"Little brother, I have something to ask you about ......"

Oh, the guy smiled and asked:

"What do you want to inquire about, sir?"

The poor Xiucai looked at the guy and asked with a smile:

"I want to inquire about a place below, that is, where is the firm of the Beiyang Company?"

Hey...... Just when the shopkeeper was attracted by the words of this poor Xiucai, a voice came from the door.

"This benevolent brother, but are you going to go there to apply for the Northeast Normal School?"

Ding Zimu asked as he walked, compared to the person who was eating, although the robe on his body also looked a little shabby, but there were no patches, which made him not as depressed as he was.

And the shopkeeper heard that these two poor sour were going to take the normal school, and the eyes suddenly appeared with envy, no wonder they were so envious, if they said that what is the most attractive in Jiangsu and Zhejiang in recent times, I am afraid that it is the enrollment of the Northeast Normal School, the Administration School and other government schools of the Northeast Governor's Office, but whether it is the administrative school or the Northeastern University, the age limit is under 24 years old, if it is really so young, I am afraid that I am more willing to engage in the way of the imperial examination.

However, compared with the administrative school, Northeastern University and other institutions, this normal college is different, not only does it have a large number of students, but also has a very wide age requirement -- 35 years old, in fact, it is six or seven years older as long as it is not too outrageous, it can always be famous, if you can be admitted to the normal college, then the school not only covers food and housing, but also pays a monthly allowance of four yuan, which alone is enough to support the family. But the real attraction is that I am afraid that after graduating in half a year, he can be a primary school assistant teacher and earn ten yuan a month!

The salary of these ten oceans, I don't know how many pairs of blindfolds, that is, many private school gentlemen in this city have gone to the Northeast, and some of the private acquaintances forced are no familiar teachers, after all, this familiar teacher is only two or three taels of silver a month. Ten pieces of the ocean, not to mention others, even the shopkeeper himself is a little hot.

Although the road is a little farther, and it is a bitter cold place in the Kanto region, this year is not as good as in the past, and it is better to leave this bird place now, maybe you can make a living. It can also be transferred to the machine. Now these poor sours have really changed their luck. What about re-transfer? Aren't you still uprooted? Whoever has food at home. Who will go to another country?

Thinking like this in my heart, the shopkeeper was much calmer, and the heat in those eyes suddenly disappeared.

"Oh, is it the same with Brother Ren, so why don't you and I go together?"

Li Yunshan hurriedly got up and said politely.

Just looking at each other's robes and the haggard on their faces, the two people who were sick and sympathetic quickly became acquainted, but it was just a cup of tea, and the two who were also forced to call each other brothers and sisters.

It's just tea with the end of the tea leaves. But seeing the two of them drinking tea there, the shopkeeper had a heartache, and the tea also needed briquettes to burn! Nowadays, the price of this briquette is dozens of dollars higher than in the past, although this tea is burned with the embers of briquettes and packed in a thermos in advance, but in any case, it is not money.

So he coughed a few times with a heartache of coal water, and the guy who got the darkness hurriedly ran to wipe the table, and the guy wiped the table a few times in succession, so that the two of them tasted it. I knew that this was the shopkeeper who was chasing customers, and sighed helplessly. The two of them, who knew that they were light, didn't pay attention to any insults to Sven, in fact, when did the two people who had already swept the floor have thought about this, so they hurriedly left the small restaurant and walked towards the Beiyang Company's firm in the rain.

"Oh, I originally thought that if I went to the Northland, I would always be too lonely alone, but now it is naturally better to have a virtuous brother with me!"

It seems that for Li Yunshan, applying for the normal school is as easy as picking up things, completely ignoring that although the elimination rate of the normal school entrance examination is not high, it also reaches three to one. Even so, in his opinion, it is easier to take the teacher test than to test the person.

"In the future, please take care of Brother Nylon ......"

Ding Zimu's compliment made Li Yunshan proud for a while, and he was concerned when he was proud.

"I don't know how the ovary brother arithmetic, I'm afraid the ovary still doesn't know, this normal school exam is the first arithmetic, although there are requirements for the article, but if the arithmetic is excellent, the score of the article can also be appropriately reduced......"

Although Li Yunshan had never taken the entrance exam, he learned the "trick" of the entrance exam from a fellow brother who was studying at the Northeast Normal School -- emphasizing mathematics and despising articles.

"Hey, speaking of which, it's really insulting to learning, which from ancient times to the present, there is no one who doesn't read articles, but looks at arithmetic......"

The whispers on his lips may as well Li Yunshan continued to walk forward, he was over forty years old, and he had already given up the idea of advancing to the Leaping Dragon Gate in the imperial examination, and he applied for the normal school, but he was just forced by life, just to make a living.

In fact, Li Yunshan is not only like this, but in the past four months, the Northeast Normal School has recruited more than 5,000 normal students in the four phases of the provinces in Guannai, and most of them are forced by life, and even have contempt for the so-called "accelerated teachers" in their hearts, but this does not prevent those people from applying for the normal school.

“……”

Loosening the button on the collar of the school uniform, Sun Guowei couldn't help but have some beads of sweat on his forehead, although the autumn breeze in Fengtian was already a little cool, but there was nothing false about the beads of sweat on his forehead, and the pencil in his hand was copying English words on the paper, and reading these English words in stiff Chinese phonetics.

As a student of the first phase of the Northeast Accelerated Normal School, Sun Guowei, who is already 39 years old, has never felt that mathematics is difficult, he was originally very good at mathematics, and now he can also talk about the steam engine, the five continents and other social science knowledge, if you read the normal mathematics, science and other books carefully, it is not necessarily more difficult than writing eight articles.

What's really hard? I'm afraid I still have to count foreign languages, but foreign languages are not compulsory courses for accelerated teachers, in fact, the course of only half a year of accelerated normal teaching is pinyin, mathematics and science, limited to the basic knowledge learned in the beginning of four years.

For people like Sun Guowei who have been admitted to Xiucai, as long as they learn a little bit to learn and master all this, even compared to learning, for these children, Xiucai normal students, the most difficult thing is probably physical education, in their opinion, the physical education class based on queues, bomb throwing, running, long jump and other sports is simply humiliating, but it is just a battle for face, and it doesn't matter if you get used to it.

Just as they were accustomed to the barracks-like life of the normal school, so they were accustomed to lining up every day for military training such as queues, and they did not even notice that their way of behavior had changed a lot because of this habit. In their opinion, they are just studying here, waiting for a career to make ends meet after graduation.

Because of this, for the vast majority of students, all they have to think about is the distribution after graduation, and that is beyond the human power to decide by lottery. Compared with those students who wait for graduation and only need to train for two more months every summer vacation in the future, and can earn ten yuan per month for teaching, Sun Guowei does not want to be a junior primary school teacher for life.

In fact, this kind of unwillingness is the driving force behind the continuous progress of human civilization, Sun Guowei is the kind of "unwilling" and "unobscure" person, who was admitted to Xiucai in the past, and now he is the same when he comes to the normal school. It was only after he came to the Northeast Normal School that he learned that in addition to the crash course, those who had excellent test scores and were under the age of 30 were all transferred to one-year and two-year long-term classes, and they would be high school and even junior high school teachers after graduation, and their salaries were much higher than those of junior primary school teachers.

Although crash course students can also apply for long-term courses, age restricts many people, after all, many are over 30 years old, and the same is true for Sun Guowei, whose age is the limit of his further development. But he didn't accept his fate, and after some investigation, he saw another opportunity - if there are foreign language experts, the age can be relaxed.

The so-called foreign language specialty is to be at the top of the English test in the crash course, so that he can apply to the school for the upper primary English test to show his foreign language expertise. In other words, as long as he can pass the upper primary English test, he can enter the long-term class, and after one year of training, he will become a senior primary school teacher.

Compared with junior primary school teachers, the most attractive thing about Sun Guowei in the high primary school built in the urban town is not only the higher salary of the high school teacher, but the more complete facilities in the senior primary school, which is easier to attract the attention of the inspector, and perhaps if he is lucky, he will have the opportunity to get rid of the status of a teacher and become a school inspector or education commissioner, so as to realize his dream of becoming an official.

People always have many dreams, and for Sun Guowei, who was "forced" to become a teacher, it was his life dream to become an official, and now everything is just the cornerstone he has laid to realize his dream.

"Hey, I'm going to graduate in two months, so I need to hurry up and learn ......"

Thinking about this, Sun Guowei hurriedly picked up the English textbook with Chinese accent and continued to read it aloud, and suddenly the stiff "Chinese English" with a Henan accent echoed in the campus again......
