Almighty substitute teacher

Chapter 347 Participating in the Unified Post Examination
During the big break on Monday, Zhen Bilian found Yang Zhengdong.

"The time has been confirmed. You have to be prepared to take the substitute teacher qualification test this Saturday morning!"

Zhen Bilian smiled and told him the news.

"Oh? So fast?"

Yang Zhengdong was really surprised.

Unexpectedly, Du Chengliang pushed the exam so quickly without giving him any time.

"I wasn't in such a hurry at first, but the county issued a unified notice two days ago, requiring all townships to complete the qualification examination for substitute teachers as soon as possible.

Zhen Bilian explained to him.

"Oh, it turned out to be a notice from the county, so that means I still have a chance?"

Yang Zhengdong laughed as he spoke.

It seems that I still have a formal teacher complex in my heart.

"Difficult! It is said that the county chief went to the county education committee a few days ago to investigate and criticize the work of the education committee very seriously. The county magistrate Du who was in charge went to the education committee to explain in person. But this kind of exam has a lot of room for maneuvering. , wanting to get stuck with an ordinary substitute teacher is nothing at all."

Zhen Bilian revealed some secrets to him again.

"So that's how it is! But it doesn't matter anymore, I can't get mixed up, so I'll just be my principal!"

Yang Zhengdong laughed at himself and said.

To be a teacher you have to turn a few corners.

He was also a little helpless.

"Well, the school has been approved, and your work has been promoted a lot. Other things are actually not that important. You are also a teacher, so what does it matter what school the teacher is in?"

Zhen Bilian also comforted him with a smile.

"I know this! It's just that I'm not used to it. After all, there is a powerful motherland behind me!"

"Isn't it still relying on the motherland now? As long as it is reasonable, legal and compliant, the country is the biggest support."

"I found that Principal Zhen is capable, he should go into politics!"

Yang Zhengdong gave Zhen Bilian a thumbs up and said.

"I don't want to do that hard work. It's good to be a teacher. I like children!"

Zhen Bilian also responded with a smile.

"Then how about principal Zhen continuing to be the principal here before my school is built?"

After more than a week of getting along with Yang Zhengdong, he still recognized Zhen Bilian.

The teaching foundation is solid, the comprehension of teaching standards is quick, and it also has its own style. I believe it will not take long to fully cope with the setting of the entire curriculum system.

"You haven't done this yet, and you're starting to poach the corner of the country?"

"Both are cultivating talents for the country's modernization drive, the essence is the same!"

"I will consider it, but I can't give you a definite answer yet!"

Zhen Bilian said with a smile, brushing her hair behind her ears.

"Then I look forward to good news from Principal Zhen."

Just as the class bell rang, Yang Zhengdong and Zhen Bilian both returned to their respective classrooms for class.

Time passed quickly, and it was Saturday in a blink of an eye. Yang Zhengdong rode his motorcycle to the township central school, where the unified exam for substitute teachers in the township was arranged.

Although he knew that there was no hope, he still wanted to give it a try.

When he hit the central school, he was almost stunned by the scene in front of him.

Although it can't be said that it was a sea of ​​people, at least there were hundreds of people gathered there.

These are substitute teachers from various villages, ranging from 70-year-old girls to [-]- and [-]-year-olds, covering all age groups in life. These people all hold exam supplies and wait for the fate-determining exam.

Yang Zhengdong parked his motorcycle and joined the team.

He stood in the last position, next to an old comrade who was not young.

It must be because of his heavy cigarette addiction, he poked his hand in and out of an old-fashioned leather bag.

Yang Zhengdong could see that he was touching a cigarette, but he didn't know why the old man didn't take it out to smoke.

"The young man is also here to take the exam?"

The old comrade probably wanted to divert his attention, so he took the initiative to say hello to Yang Zhengdong.

"Yeah, you don't want to be mixed up, why are you taking the exam at your age?"

Yang Zhengdong also started talking to him with a smile.

"Isn't this just to get a pension? After being a teacher for 50 years, I finally got this opportunity. If I pass the exam, I will have a pension!"

The old comrade smiled and showed his long-smoked yellow teeth.

"How old are you this year?"

Yang Zhengdong asked in surprise.

Because it seems that this old comrade must be in his sixties at least.

Ordinarily, this age should have retired long ago, so why are you talking about pensions?

"Me? I'm 58 this year, I should retire soon!"

The old comrade said with an unnatural expression.

"Oh? I really don't see it. Didn't you teach for 50 years just now? You have been a teacher since you were eight years old. You have indeed been teaching for a long time!"

Yang Zhengdong directly gave the old comrade a thumbs up.

"That...that one taught earlier."

The old comrade made him blush on the spot, so he could only answer in a low voice.

"Yes, it was true that teaching was relatively early at that time. Which village are you from?"

Yang Zhengdong doesn't attack other old comrades anymore.

People say that 58 is 58. It makes sense to say anything these days.

"I belong to Liu Weizhuang. In fact, I'm almost seventy. I was talking nonsense just now. Don't tell others!"

The old comrade took the initiative to explain.

"Hmm, don't worry, but are you still teaching at your age?"

Yang Zhengdong nodded in agreement and asked again.

"That's right, there is no one to teach the children in the village, and I can't take off condoms at my age, so I have to continue playing for a while!"

The old comrade sighed and said, his hand wanted to reach into the purse again.

"Smoking is not allowed here, so you can smoke if you want!"

Yang Zhengdong smiled and helped him out.

"I have been addicted to smoking for decades, and I really can't control it. There are so many young people like you. I'm afraid they will be disgusted."

The old comrade smiled and took out the crumpled cigarette case in his bag. Yang Zhengdong took a look and found that it was Bailang, which cost [-] cents a pack. This cigarette had no filter, and it was the cheapest kind of cigarette.

"You want one?"

The old comrade took out a crooked cigarette and handed it over.

"No, I don't smoke!"

Yang Zhengdong refused with a smile. It seems that the condition of this old comrade is not very good.

"Have you been teaching in the village?"

Seeing him lighting up, Yang Zhengdong took a breath and asked.

He still knows about Liu Weizhuang, it is also a small village, not too close to their Mengxi Village, it is one north and one south, separated by several mountains.

"Yeah, I'll be a teacher at fifteen!"

The old comrade took a puff of cigarette and replied with a smile.

"Didn't it catch up when the private sector was transferred to the public sector?"

What Yang Zhengdong asked was more than ten years ago, when there was another wave of similar opportunities.

Private teachers can be transferred to public ones, and many teachers have transferred at that time.

His grandfather also had a chance back then, but the old man didn't care about it, so he didn't do it.

"Hey, it was delayed! At that time, the sons were all at the age of marrying wives, and the family had no money to marry their children. When they were in a hurry, they resigned from the teacher's job and took their wives to the south. They wanted to do some business like others. Delayed."

The old comrade said with a self-deprecating smile.

"Then why did you come back to be a teacher?"

"Isn't it because there are no teachers in the village? The village head calls three times a day, saying that if I don't come back to the village, no one will be able to teach the children. Besides, I'm not that good at doing business. I can only work as a cleaner in the city. The old woman worked as a babysitter for about a year. After discussing it, she came back, which happened to delay the wave of things. When I went to look for it again, she said that it was over and she could no longer transfer to a public office. She could only continue to substitute .”

The old comrade spoke very calmly, but Yang Zhengdong could still hear the helplessness in his tone.

"Then a teacher with so many years of teaching experience like you should also have a subsidy from above?"

"What kind of subsidy! It's only 310 yuan a month for class hours. When I first taught, it was more than two yuan a month, and later it was five yuan, twenty, 38, 55, 87, and one hundred and one. Two hundred and eighty yuan, the village gave me 30 yuan, and it's more than 300."

Yang Zhengdong learned through chatting that the old comrade's name was Wei Tianxiang, and his original status was neither high nor low, and he was better classified as a rich peasant, because he was arranged to be a teacher by the village because he had attended elementary school.

Then the one who went around for decades was still an ordinary substitute teacher.

Liu Weizhuang is relatively small, with only a few dozen students, and he is also the only teacher.

Compared with Yang Zhengdong, Wei Tianxiang only needs to teach Chinese and arithmetic.

After working as a teacher from a rich peasant family for decades, he regards himself as the poorest family in the village.

There are many children, three sons and two daughters, all in their forties now, but they are all married.

It's just that two of them adopted the same [marriage exchange] as Wang Chengzhi, and the two girls were "exchanged", otherwise their family would not be able to marry at all.

Now that I am older, I don't have any higher thoughts.

I just want to mix up the establishment and get a pension later.

Yang Zhengdong felt a little silent and dejected, and the good mood he had when he came here was basically gone.

The old man has had a hard life in this life. He has supported a large family with a meager salary, and he has insisted on teaching for decades. The country really should be short of him.

But in this era, there are millions of substitute teachers like this in the country, and it is simply impossible to control them.

Many people don't have a way to mix up their thoughts until they die.

However, Wei Tianxiang is still optimistic. The old man is most proud of teaching two college students.

One is that in 1990, a student in the village was admitted to Gucheng University. Although it was only a junior college, he was indeed the first college student in the village.

The other one was the year before last, when one of his students was admitted to Beijing Normal University, and when he went to report the good news to the old man, he happily drank half a bottle of wine by himself.

For this reason, I also played the bottle for three days!

When talking about this passage, Yang Zhengdong was also happy, seeing him smiling like a child, he couldn't help but sighed in his heart.

Teachers all over the world are the same. When it comes to students' promising future, they are always selflessly happy in their hearts.

Hope this old man can get his wish!

In any case, be able to stand on the podium and persist for decades.

This kind of old man is worthy of respect, and it is enough to get that pension, which is actually insignificant.
