The Age of Rebirth: Winning since the educated youth went to the countryside

"Uncle Wu, I have an idea."

Seeing Wu Dagang's happy expression, Zhou Ziwen continued.

"What do you think?" Wu Dagang attached great importance to Zhou Ziwen's opinion.

"I found that the school in our Dabazi Village is too simple. Children are the future of the village, and the educational environment is crucial to their growth."

"Can we consider renovating and expanding the school?" Zhou Ziwen said.

In the past, Dabazi Village had no money, so many infrastructure construction projects had to be shelved.

But now that the village’s industries have gradually developed and have a certain economic foundation, it’s time to make some improvements to the children’s educational environment.

After listening to Zhou Ziwen's words, Wu Dagang pondered for a while, then nodded in agreement.

"Ziwen, you are right. Education is a long-term plan. We should really provide a better learning environment for children."

Wu Dagang said seriously that he supported Zhou Ziwen's idea.

"The economic situation in the village is much better now than in the past. It is time to invest in education and lay a solid foundation for the children's future," Zhou Ziwen continued.

In Zhou Ziwen's mind, reading is very important. Only by reading good books can children have a broader vision and more choices.

He is well aware of the profound impact of education on the development of a village. A good educational environment can cultivate more knowledgeable and skilled talents, who will become the backbone of the village's future development.

"Okay, then let's plan it carefully and see how much money it will cost and what work needs to be done." Wu Dagang made the decision. He knew that this was an important task that required careful planning.

"I suggest that we can start by improving the classroom environment, such as repairing the roof, painting the walls, and adding some teaching facilities, such as blackboards, desks and chairs." Zhou Ziwen put forward some specific suggestions.

"These are all easy to talk about." Wu Dagang was very confident.

They have a mushroom cultivation base, as well as a pig farm and chicken farm that were recently built.

The mushroom cultivation base can bring a steady stream of craftsmanship to the village, and the chicken farm and pig farm can also make money.

Rebuilding the school did not pose much pressure on Dabazi Village.

"Uncle Wu, in addition to the school, we can also consider increasing the number of teachers. Now one teacher teaches five grades, which is really too hard and also affects the teaching quality." Zhou Ziwen added.

Hearing this, Wu Dagang looked at Zhou Ziwen in confusion, "Ziwen, do you mean that one teacher is not enough?"

Zhou Ziwen nodded and explained seriously: "Uncle Wu, one teacher is responsible for all courses for five grades. This is not only very tiring for him, but also difficult to ensure the teaching quality of each grade. Children need more attention and personalized teaching so that they can better develop their potential."

After hearing what Zhou Ziwen said, Wu Dagang frowned thoughtfully, but did not object.

He felt that what Zhou Ziwen said made sense, so he slowly said: "Ziwen, you are right. We should indeed consider increasing the number of teachers. But where will these teachers come from?"

"Haha, don't we have a ready-made one?" Zhou Ziwen pointed to the test paper on the table, "We can just select the top five and let each of them teach a grade."

Wu Dagang followed Zhou Ziwen's finger and looked at the test paper on the table. His eyes lit up and he said, "Ziwen, this is a good idea!"

"Haha, the results of the people in front are still very good." Zhou Ziwen said with a smile.

In today's exam, besides Su Muchen, there were several others who also performed very well.

Two of them were educated youth from the Youth Home, and the other two were villagers from the village.

They are Li Yue and Zhang Feng from the Youth League Institute, and Wang Qiang and Liu Mei from the village.

Li Yue performed well in the cultural knowledge test, especially in the Chinese and general knowledge sections, where her answers were accurate and detailed.

Zhang Feng performed at a high level in mathematics and teaching ability tests. His lesson plans were well written, his ideas were clear during simulated teaching, and he was able to guide "students" to understand knowledge points well.

As a villager, Wang Qiang was slightly inferior to the educated youth in cultural knowledge, but he had great enthusiasm for education. In the teaching ability test, he proposed some very practical teaching methods based on his understanding of the village and children.

Liu Mei is also a villager in the village. She has a solid grasp of the basic knowledge of Chinese and mathematics, and showed strong affinity in the teaching ability test, which enabled the "students" to feel her care and patience.

At 7:30 in the evening, many villagers and educated youth gathered in the threshing ground.

Everyone is looking forward to the announcement of the results of the primary school teacher selection examination.

Wu Dagang and Zhou Ziwen came to the center of the threshing ground, and the crowd gradually quieted down.

Wu Dagang cleared his throat and said loudly: "Good evening, fellow villagers and educated youth! Today we are here to announce the results of the primary school teacher selection examination."

There was a slight commotion among the crowd, and everyone stretched their necks, their eyes full of anticipation.

Wu Dagang went on to say: "Everyone worked very hard in this exam. After carefully reviewing the test papers, we selected the top five candidates with outstanding results. They are Su Muchen, Li Yue, Zhang Feng, Wang Qiang and Liu Mei."

"Five?"

Everyone was surprised to hear this.

They remembered that the village only needed one teacher.

Wu Dagang smiled and explained: "Don't be surprised. Our village school used to have only one teacher teaching five grades, and the teaching quality was difficult to guarantee."

"Now that our village's industry has developed, we have the conditions to improve the educational environment, so we decided to increase the number of teachers. These five candidates are all excellent, and they will be responsible for teaching different grades respectively."

A heated discussion broke out among the crowd, and the villagers whispered to each other, surprised and excited about the decision.

Especially Su Muchen and the other selected people, they felt both surprised and a little nervous.

They were surprised that their efforts were recognized and they had the opportunity to contribute to the village’s education; but they were nervous because they knew they had a heavy responsibility and that they had to face the future of the village’s children.

Wu Dagang raised his hand, motioning for everyone to be quiet, and then continued: "The development of our village today is inseparable from the hard work of every villager. Now that we have the ability, we must provide a better educational environment for the children. These five new teachers will be the new hope for the development of education in our village."

Wu Dagang then introduced in detail the teaching tasks that each teacher is responsible for. He said: "Su Muchen, you will be responsible for teaching Chinese and mathematics to senior students. You have excellent knowledge and teaching ability in these two areas. I hope you can guide the children well."

Su Muchen nodded seriously and said, "Secretary Wu, I will definitely work hard."

Wu Dagang looked at Li Yue again, "Li Yue, you are responsible for teaching Chinese and general knowledge to senior students. You have a good foundation in Chinese and general knowledge, so you should give full play to your advantages."

Li Yue also answered firmly: "I will, Secretary Wu."

Next came Zhang Feng. “Zhang Feng, you will be responsible for teaching senior math and some comprehensive courses. We all recognize your math ability. You must impart knowledge to the children clearly.”

Zhang Feng said confidently: "Don't worry, Secretary Wu."

Then it was Wang Qiang's turn. "Wang Qiang, you are responsible for teaching the comprehensive courses for the lower grades. You are familiar with the village, so you need to integrate the knowledge in life into the teaching so that the children can better understand it."

Wang Qiang smiled innocently and said, "I know, Uncle Wu."

Finally, it was Liu Mei. "Liu Mei, you are responsible for the language and moral education of the lower grades. You have a strong affinity and you must give the children enough love and patience."

Liu Mei smiled and nodded: "I will do it well, Uncle Wu."
