The old lady can't read a word, otherwise she would have pointed at Yu Xiulan's nose and said that she was "fake public and private".

When a number of members heard the news, they came over to watch, standing outside the compound of the team committee, and exchanged their heads and ears.

Yu Xiulan couldn't bear this charge in front of the big guys, and asked seriously: "Second aunt, what did you say?" ”

Second grandmother Zhao, the oldest elder of the Zhao family, even the captain Zhao Xinshan dared to shout because of her seniority, and she had no scruples about Yu Xiulan, "Then let me ask you, is the production team owned by you Yu Xiulan alone?" Why do you have to take over the vacant job? ”

Yu Xiulan suppressed her breath and explained: "I never said that the production team was my own, and I asked the captain about Zhao Ke taking over as a primary school teacher." ”

Zhao Xinshan nodded, "Zhao Ke is indeed qualified and capable of taking on this important responsibility. ”

Second Lady Zhao snorted, "What qualifications?" What abilities? You are ...... It's ......"

She wanted to say something, but she couldn't, and turned her head to look back.

Yu Xiulan, Zhao Xinshan and others all followed her line of sight.

At the gate of the team committee, a young man with glasses lifted his glasses and lowered his head, tired of her brainless appearance.

The man's name is Hu Hezhi, the grandson-in-law of Zhao's second grandmother, an educated youth who came here from the countryside in Shanghai in the spring of 70, and married his current wife Zhao Fangfang in the summer of that year.

Beside him, Zhao Fangfang, who had a big belly, was in a hurry, and he didn't care about anything else, so he stepped out and said, "Uncle, third aunt, can't you all live a good life, and don't even let others get a little soup, right?" Isn't the production team a big pot of rice? ”

When Zhao Ermao heard this, she immediately remembered what to say, "You just open a small stove, I can go to the brigade and the commune to sue you!" ”

Zhao Xinshan's face turned black for a moment.

Usually, Zhao Ermi's trouble is just a splash and rolling, so he asked Li Hehua to mention two more sentences of "vacant elementary school teacher", but he didn't expect Zhao Erma to even say such a thing for a job today.

Their ancestors and grandchildren didn't want to think about what benefits they could have without him Zhao Xinshan, but because of him, the rest of the Zhao family had a lot of hidden benefits in the village.

The two of them were short-sighted and couldn't say this, someone must be teaching them badly behind their backs.

Zhao Xinshan looked at Hu Hezhi coldly.

Hu Hezhi instantly broke down in a cold sweat, hesitated for a moment, and still didn't come out in the end.

Yu Xiulan was even more angry, "Why do you open a small stove?" Who am I, Yu Xiulan, who doesn't know the full production team? Never take a stitch from a member! ”

Outside, the members nodded in agreement-

"Yes."

"Director Yu has a good character."

"The first few years were so difficult, and it didn't take advantage of the production team."

Zhao Ermao and Zhao Fangfang listened a little anxiously, and were about to speak, but were interrupted by Yu Xiulan.

"I want to ask Zhao Ke what qualifications and abilities he has, right?" Yu Xiulan straightened her chest and crossed her waist, "My family's eighteenth generation of poor peasants, Grandpa Zhao Ke, grandpa and grandma, they are all veterans who have fought in the war, and she is still the most educated in our production team." ”

There is no doubt about this, Zhao Xinshan nodded in approval: "Zhao Ke is the only high school student in our village, and I am relieved that she teaches the children in the village to read." ”

Yu Xiulan was full of confidence, "I'll leave it here, in the entire production team, no one is more qualified and capable of being this teacher than my Zhao Ke." ”

Outside, the members nodded again-

"Zhao Ke has led children of all sizes to play since she was a child, and the pitied children are honest and honest by her side, and they will definitely be able to manage the students well."

"Yes, Zhao Keduo is capable, she teaches the children in our village, I don't worry."

"I'm relieved ...... too"

Hu Hezhi was short of breath between them, he couldn't stay any longer, walked in a few steps, and held the old lady's arm, "Milk, I know you're all for me, but what the captain said makes sense......"

He spoke beautifully, but his hands were clenched, and his feet were completely immobile.

Zhao Ermao seemed to be reminded, grabbed him and pushed him forward, and shouted loudly: "Who said it's just one?" My grandson-in-law is also a high school student, and he is still a progressive youth who went to the countryside to support the countryside, so why is he not qualified and incapable? ”

Zhao Xinshan patiently reminded: "Hu Hezhi did not graduate. ”

"I haven't graduated and I'm a high school student, and I'm educated! Didn't Zhao Mian graduate from junior high school before? ”

Zhao Ermao directly took out her killer weapon, sat on the ground and began to mess around, "Designated Zhao Ke, I don't accept it!" It's not fair! Zhao Xinshan, if you don't give me an explanation, I will go to the brigade and the commune to reason! ”

Hu Hezhi and Zhao Fangfang squatted next to her to persuade.

Zhao Fangfang didn't know what to think, so she cried aggrievedly: "Uncle, no matter what, I'm closer to you than Zhao Ke, right?" Do you watch me suffer? ”

Yu Xiulan grabbed her words, "Are you trying to force the captain to open a small stove for your house now?" Every year, the production team has a community chest to the five guarantee households and the difficult households, not for you, your family is the most difficult. ”

The surname Zhao is not without difficulties, but it definitely does not include Zhao's second grandmother's family.

Zhao Fangfang stiffened suddenly, and then hugged her stomach and cried mournfully.

Hu Hezhi let go of the hand holding her arm, and regardless of leaving a blue and white handprint, he raised his head and said righteously: "Captain, the educated youth go to the countryside and are part of the production team, in order to help the production team manage and progress. ”

"Yes, I'm not a high school student, but the newcomer Fu Zhiqing is, why isn't Zhao Ke the only one? In this way, we have been digging out of the production team, which is to chill the young people. ”

Hu Hezhi put him and all the educated youths together to put pressure on Zhao Xinshan.

Outside, Fu Hang himself was not there, and several old intellectuals who were watching the excitement looked at each other.

Who wants to do farm work all the time? They are not as good as the peasants in farm work.

If you can't work, you will earn less work, and you can only barely eat your stomach. The frenzy and passion of the early days have long since been worn away in the day-to-day work of the farm.

If they can do easier work, they are all willing, so none of them refuted Hu Hezhi's words.

This can be regarded as silent support.

Zhao Xinshan's eyes were heavy, "I can understand that you don't actually want this job, you are fighting for the educated youth?" ”

Of course Hu Hezhi wants to, he just wants to be a primary school teacher, but when he comes to this, he can only say righteously: "Yes." ”

Zhao Erma was not happy, "Why not, since the work of the production team is not alone, why can't we ask for it." ”

Zhao Xinshan ignored her, but looked at a few educated youths outside the compound.

He has always disliked educated youth.

These educated youths are the best at making trouble, and there are some places outside where there is a lot of trouble, and the educated youths will even have a fight with the production team, and Li Cun'er next door once broke his head and bled out.

Zhao Xinshan manages the production team and will not be treated harshly, but he never thought of letting the educated youth go deep into the production team.

He was able to suppress the educated youth in the past, and people couldn't find out what to say, so he will naturally be able to do it in the future.

"In this case, the work of the school is decided by the vote of all adult members of the production team."

Zhao Xinshan made a straight face and said solemnly: "Just a week later, the team committee will also be elected, and it will be held together, and all members and educated youths can sign up, which is fair and just." ”

The members were in an uproar for a while, and there were many discussions.

In the past, there were elections, but they were basically a formality, and everyone elected a few recognized people.

For the first time, school teachers also participated in the voting.

Zhao Ermao was the first to object: "No! ”

She wanted to make the team unbearable, so she directly decided Hu Hezhi and voted for it.

The opposition was invalid, and Zhao Xinshan made a direct decision: "If you have the ability, let the members choose Hu Zhiqing, and I can't help it if I don't choose it." It was decided that they were all scattered! ”

With that, he turned and went into the office.

When the team committee quieted down, Zhao Xinshan said to Yu Xiulan alone: "I don't think voting is bad for Zhao Ke, I have confidence in Zhao Ke, she was elected openly, and no one can find fault with her." ”

Yu Xiulan also has confidence in her daughter, but she has no emotions about Zhao Xinshan's decision.

·

When Zhuang Lan and Su Limei, another newcomer to the female intellectual, came over, everyone dispersed, so they asked the old intellectuals what happened.

There was a young man who patiently recounted the experience.

Su Limei thanked the male intellectuals softly, and when she turned to Zhuang Lan, her voice suddenly returned to normal, "This has nothing to do with us." ”

Zhuang Lan bit her lip thoughtfully.

Su Limei was surprised, "Do you still want to sign up?" ”

Zhuang Lan said: "Since the captain said that educated youths can also sign up, why can't I apply?" ”

Su Limei sneered: "Don't think about it, you didn't see that they didn't react, and the members of Zhao Cun'er wouldn't choose you at all." ”

"I have long heard the old intellectuals say that over the years, except for the principal of the primary school of the production team, no educated youth has really been recognized by all the members." Su Limei is very sure, "Hu Zhiqing tossed a game, and it was also a bamboo basket to draw water, and it must be that Zhao Ke who was selected." ”

Zhuang Lan was very stubborn, "I haven't tried it, how do you know the result?" ”

"Whatever you want." Su Limei sneered, "Anyway, I reminded you." ”

Not only the two of them, but Zhao Cun'er was talking about this everywhere, and most of the members of the village subconsciously thought: Of course, choose Zhao Ke.

This is a big deal for Zhao Ermi, Hu Hezhi and Zhao Fangfang.

And Zhao Ke, the person in the center of the whirlpool, didn't know anything, and at three o'clock in the afternoon, she slowly appeared at the entrance of the village on a bicycle.

Under the ancient locust tree, several women immediately stopped their original words and waved at her.

The last time they came back, they were not so enthusiastic, Zhao Ke was inexplicable, pinched the brakes, and stopped under the tree.

Aunt Dong didn't wait for her to speak, so she said angrily: "You're back, someone is going to rob you of your job as an elementary school teacher!" ”

The other women, whether they stirred up or watched the excitement, also said one by one-

"There's more than one."

"You've got to be careful."

"Go home and ask your mom what to do."

Zhao Ke tried to distinguish from their words, but he was still not sure what was going on, so he only smiled shyly, "The job of the elementary school teacher is mine, I listen to the arrangements of the team." ”

"Second girl, you're just too honest." Aunt Dong'er's title to Zhao Ke changed from "Nier in the city" to "second girl", looking like an elder, patting her chest, "Don't worry, we will definitely choose you, not outsiders." ”

Zhao Ke smiled and thanked them, didn't ask them more, waved goodbye, and still rode slowly.
