Chapter 47: For a common goal
It's not too late to make amends. The elementary school principal found a solution to the problem. This method is easy to say, but it actually takes a lot of brain bubbles from elementary school principals.
Didn't the principal of your middle school say that the problem is on the wall? Okay, let's solve the problem of the wall first. Wouldn't it be over if I painted the wall on one side? But of course, you can paint the wall again, but if you do it, doesn't it give people a feeling of wanting to cover it? The principal of the elementary school felt that it was not cost-effective.
If you paint the wall for no reason, people will say that you don't paint sooner or later, why do you paint the wall as soon as the middle school principal says it? Even if others don't say anything, do you dare to guarantee that Lao Xia will have no opinion after the wall is painted. It is impossible to paint such a large wall, and it can only be done locally. Besides, you painted the wall opposite Lao Xia's house, what should you do if others want to paint the wall too?
Don't say it, there is a reasonable way to deal with the problem right now. The principal first found Lao Xia.
"Xiao Xia, come, sit down." The principal of the elementary school showed a rare feminine tenderness.
"What's the matter, Headmaster. I, I've been paying attention lately, but I haven't made any noise. I've got my family paying attention to it, too. Lao Xia was a little weak-hearted, but the old woman in front of him even coaxed him to this elementary school, and it had been almost four years, and none of the promises of a salary increase to the house at that time had been fulfilled.
"I haven't noticed any changes in your family lately? I mean, I don't see anything in the dress? "The headmaster is also a woman, although he looks like a man. As a woman, the headmaster certainly didn't want to be so blunt.
"No, I don't see it at all, by the way, my wife has never been able to give birth to children, I see that she has nothing to do at home all day. Headmaster, see if you can find her some work to do, don't let her be idle all day long. "Lao Xia really wants his wife to have something to do, otherwise it's really not a matter to always take it at home.
"Well, what about me, I really have something I want to talk to you about."
"Just say it, principal, if you have anything, you can say it directly, I also know that you have your difficulties, the original promise said to give me a house or something, didn't I ask too much." Lao Xia was telling the truth, and the principal also felt a little sorry for him, and the principal also said these things to the principal, and the principal himself had said them. However, the Education Bureau does not allocate funds to build teachers' residences, so what can the principal of a small school in her district do?
"So, look, Natsu. This year, we have a new teacher in our school, you should have taught him, no, he should have been in the sixth grade when you came, and you should have taught the lower grades at that time, you see I can't remember this anymore. The principal of the elementary school looked at the hairy guy who had gone through the vicissitudes of the years, and it was only a few years of hard work, especially Lao Xia, who was a little blessed, and his hairline also saw obvious signs of receding, and he was a little anxious.
"You mean the newcomer Zhang Changzhi, the young man is good, but he teaches Chinese, and I can't take him with me! If the leader arranges for me to be with me for a while, I am obliged, I am afraid that I will delay others. "This time it's Lao Xia who will be wrong.
"It's not for you to take him to teach, it's his home, it's far away from the school, it's very inconvenient to commute back and forth, and our school is also illegal. As for me, I can't let a good teacher like you live without a fixed place! So, I resisted the pressure to vacate the top floor of the school, and solved your housing problem first, and as for letting you move to the end of the corridor, this is also due to many considerations. "The headmaster thinks it's better to make things more high-sounding.
"What's the matter, what's wrong with that junior high school principal, I see that he chirps all day long, but he is underbeaten."
"Comrade Xia Zhongmin, you are not the same as when you just graduated, you have to put it away for me if you still have a temper! You say how much mess you have filled in because of your hero-loving temper, haven't you counted it yourself? "The principal was a little emotional.
"Yes, principal, it's that I don't control my emotions well, you're right, it shouldn't be your criticism." Lao Xia hurriedly took the words and asked him to make up for it.
"You! Why are you still so reckless. The headmaster was disgusted.
"I'm going to make a room next to you, so that Mr. Zhang doesn't have to run around so much." The principal continued.
"Hey, I said principal, I didn't have a problem with the last time you asked me to move, but this time you have to go out of the limited corridor space next door, which is a bit of a bully. The principal of his middle school is loud, why is Xiao Zhang not quiet. They aren't married yet. Lao Xia was a little angry.
"I've also considered this situation, in this way, our school can consider arranging for your wife to clean the floor, just treat it as a faculty member, and see if you can transfer her to a job, and it will be relatively convenient for your child to apply for a household registration or something in the future." I promised you something before, but I'm a little out of my word, let's see if I can compensate you in this regard. The principal looked at Lao Xia's appearance, and also wanted to ease the atmosphere, it just so happened that the aunt who cleaned the school went home to raise her grandson, and the principal had long wanted to solve the problem of Lao Xia's wife's unemployment.
"I want to thank the principal for this, but others can't laugh at me, the window at the end of the corridor has a good light, you see this good room, you made it like this, how awkward." Lao Xia's words were quite tough, but his momentum was much weaker.
"Well, I've thought about that too. Lao Huo of our school will retire next year. His house is to be handed back according to the regulations, so that I can arrange for Xiao Zhang to move into Lao Huo's house. The principal said.
"Then you can also let Xiao Zhang wait until Lao Huo retires and live directly in the past, he is new, and the workload will not be so big." Lao Xia was still a little unconvinced.
"That's true, but you think, if the Education Bureau can't allocate funds for a day, we won't be able to build a staff dormitory here in a day."
"I know I can't do this, I understand that." Lao Xia hurriedly said.
"You still don't understand what I mean, I mean if Xiao Zhang moves out, will you have an extra room? You always say that the lighting is not good, and this time the house with the wall is for your future children, and it is good to have such a big window. "The principal of the elementary school has given the conditions for temptation, and Lao Xia has also been brought to infinite longing.
"That's the same reason! Headmaster, you still have a lot of reason to say that. Lao Xia didn't seem to have any reason to refuse.
"Your wife's work is solved, and the house is going to get bigger, but I still have to talk to you seriously about your wife." The principal's serious expression changed all of a sudden, which made Lao Xia not get used to it for a while.
"I'm doing this, it's also for you and your lover, don't worry, let me sort out my thoughts, and I'll see how to say it to be more objective." The headmaster paused slightly, and Old Xia Mo was silent.
"Well, that's the case, you know, the side of the corridor in front of your house against the wall is the dormitory of our junior high school students and some teachers next door, and the location next to your house is exactly where their junior high school girls and female teachers dry their clothes. Recently, they noticed that some of the clothes they were drying were missing. Later, it turned out that two bricks on the wall were loose. Do you understand me when I say that? The principal of the elementary school tried to tell the truth as tactfully as possible.
"What's the matter, how can this unsubstantiated person frame people with his mouth." Lao Xia suddenly remembered something. But I still have to hold on with my mouth stiff.
"I don't want to mind about you and your wife, and of course I want to believe that they are doing nothing. As for this matter for Xiao Zhang's room, it is still up to you to do your wife's ideological work. Whether you like it or not, this should be done as a task. I'll arrange for someone to give the wall out of the wall as soon as possible, and then paint the room behind the wall. Wouldn't there be no source for the bricks they said were loose? As long as the room is locked and people live there, the matter will be solved. "The principal didn't want to be entangled with Lao Xia anymore.
"This, this is really thanks to the principal. I'll go back, and I'll go back and make sure to complete the task given to me by the principal. "Lao Xia is completely submissive this time.
From Lao Xia's state change, the principal basically knows the truth of the matter.
Lao Xia got off work and went upstairs. After entering the house, Lao Xia closed the door tightly, and when he saw that his wife was waiting for him to come back for dinner, he raised his hand and put it down again.
"You, what are you going to do?" Lao Xia's wife saw that Lao Xia was going to raise her hand to beat her, and asked puzzledly.
"I, I, I asked the principal to find it today, and she told me that I lost something on the other side, and said that I asked you to take it. You say, isn't it you? Lao Xia deceited.
"I just want to see what those sluts are wearing, I just want to see what they wear and then give it back. Later, then it wasn't you who liked it, I left it. Lao Xia's wife said it in a hurry, and her eyes were full of tears.
"Okay, okay, don't cry, I thought of a trick with the principal to cover up this matter." Speaking of which, Lao Xia saw a light in his wife's eyes.
"I told the principal to put up the wall outside our house and let the new teacher Zhang live in, and the principal agreed, and the school would pay for the wall and painting." Lao Xia began to learn and pity.
"Then our family is so close to him, I don't want to look at the jam." Lao Xia's wife interjected.
"If you don't say that you have long hair and short knowledge, Lao Huo of our school will be retiring, and Xiao Zhang won't live here for long. When he goes to live with Lao Huo, won't this house be ours? With such a big window, children will be able to read books in front of the window in the future, how nice. Lao Xia said, and seemed to see a beautiful vision in front of him.
Lao Xia's wife saw Lao Xia's crazy appearance, and she was also infected. The two of them let go of their previous suspicions and continued to work hard for a common goal.
