The Great God of Net Wen was reborn in 1927

"Today's Literature" newspaper specializes in novels, and all the pages are either short stories or short stories, or serial novels. Regarding the novel "The Man Who Chased the Sun" which is about 15 words, the editor-in-chief of the newspaper is very generous and uses about [-] words a day published.

Xu Shaoting estimated that it would be published in fifteen days, which is really high efficiency in a certain sense.

Regarding the serialization of "The Great Dao", Shaoting planned to resume the workload of two chapters a day the next day. Who knew that when he woke up, his arms were so painful that he couldn't lift them up. Only then did he realize that he hadn't exercised for a long time. Well, after playing two games of badminton with Shen Jieke, his arms were so sore that it was difficult for him to do the work of writing.

Editor-in-Chief He, who was far away at the newspaper office, was sorting out the few remaining chapters of "The Great Dao", thinking sadly: The remaining manuscripts are only enough to be serialized for three days, and Mr. Qian Fengmingyue can hand in enough manuscripts on time ?Although Mr. Qianfeng is already a rare and hardworking author, we also have to consider unexpected events such as Calvin and lack of inspiration, and if the author feels unwell, especially if he is dizzy and hot...

The more Editor-in-Chief He thought about it, the more uneasy he felt, and he couldn't bear to call Xu Shaoting to ask: Sir, have you written today's manuscript?How many words have you written?

If he didn't understand that this approach was very annoying, he really couldn't help it.

As a result, three days later, editor-in-chief He came to pick up the manuscript, and Xu Shaoting handed over a few thin pages of manuscript paper. He was silent for a long time: "This is at most two or three chapters of manuscript, sir—"

Did you eat up the rest of the manuscript?

Xu Shaoting rubbed his arm, and he himself had a bitter face: "My arm hurts, and I just started writing the manuscript yesterday. It was really an emergency."

Editor-in-Chief He immediately expressed concern: "Why does your arm hurt? Did you catch a cold?"

Xu Shaoting was ashamed to tell people that he played badminton, but he just said that it is already healed now and it will not affect the writing of the manuscript at all.

Editor-in-chief He left Xu's house with sorrow, and now "Avenue" has no manuscripts at all, and it is about to enter a situation where the author writes as much as the newspaper serializes every day.

At this time, more than a week has passed since President Ye's funeral, and Xu Huaiqing left home at about this time. He would call home every day to report his safety, but there was no news of Teacher Zhang Qiuren who was supposed to come back to teach Xu Shaoting and Shen Lingjun. up.

It was Mrs. Zhang who first thought of Shaoting's class, and she asked: "Is it time for Mr. Zhang to come back and teach Shaoting?"

Only then did Xu Shaoting remember his tutor, and was about to call to ask about it. Teacher Zhang Qiuren took the initiative to call Xu's family, but Shaoting didn't know whether the news he brought was good or bad.

Teacher Zhang Qiuren didn't say much when he came up on the phone, and apologized bluntly: "Shao Ting, now I am a teacher in President Ye's Rescue Academy. I really have no skills at all, and I can't continue to teach you."

Xu Shaoting was not interested in re-studying high school courses at all, and he never planned to come to the Republic of China and then enter a university—he still has to juggle writing novels, and he doesn’t have the energy to get into a good university. .

Expressing their understanding of Teacher Zhang Qiuren, the two chatted for a while, and the two ladies Xu Yanran and Mrs. Zhang also stood beside them, listening to them with their ears up.

Teacher Zhang Qiuren sighed on the other end of the phone: "Nowadays the school is very short of manpower."

Xu Shaoting asked: "Is it difficult to recruit people?"

He thought that in this day and age, if there is a job to earn a wage, everyone will fight for it, so he wonders why there is such a saying that people cannot be recruited.

"It's because we can't find the right people." Zhang Qiuren said, "If you want to know how to read characters, you don't need to read "Hundred Surnames", "San Zi Jing" and "The Analects of Confucius". Mathematics and English would be even better."

"And then, it has to be a woman."

"Is it hard to recruit?"

Xu Shaoting asked, but thought in his heart, it seems that it is not easy, but now there are some girls who are studying, he has seen Zhenzhen's courses, and if he can graduate from middle school, it should be no problem to teach a primary school student.

"That's not...it's just that the wages we can offer are very low."

Xu Shaoting didn't know how to answer, the question was too realistic: "This...then there is really no way."

You must know that in this era, there are only a small number of families where girls can read and read, and many girls who can read and read will not come out to work after graduation, and most of them get married as soon as they graduate or before graduation.

Because Shaoting often reads newspapers and novels now, I understand that some women now have the right to go to school, but most of the women in such families, including a large part of them, think that going out to school and receiving Westernized education , can be proud of English and mathematics.

But if she wanted to work and earn money, it would be very contemptuous - such a girl's family background must be very ordinary, and she had to rely on her daughter to earn money to support the family.

When Xu Shaoting saw the idea of ​​the rich heroine in the novel, he thought it was fabricated by the author, so he ran to ask Xu Yanran and Mrs. Zhang, but they looked at him strangely and told him that this was the consensus of many people nowadays.

Surprised, Xu Shaoting digested it for a while before he figured it out: the progress of society is slow, and it is impossible for people's ideology to be in place in one step.It's like those girls can read, but obviously many of them just regard knowledge as something that flaunts their worth, which is no different from jewelry.

You look at them as feminist pioneers, who can write articles and compete with men by citing classics, but because of the limitations of the times, they still don’t understand that women want to improve their status in the patriarchal society and want to truly gain The best way to have the right to speak is to participate in social and public labor. The vernacular is-go out to work. [1]

Zhang Qiuren sighed over there, and just started to complain: "Women with this level are either very powerful, and it would be a waste of time to be a teacher here, or they are enough to be a primary and secondary school teacher, but most of them are from ordinary families and have to earn money to support their families. , but the school itself is in the nature of assistance, and every additional student is spending money, and the salaries of the faculty and staff can only be reduced again and again.”

Xu Shaoting comforted him with special understanding: "It's hard to recruit, but only female teachers?"

Zhang Qiuren became even more angry: "Some girls' parents threatened us. If we don't set up a special class for girls and assign a dedicated female teacher, we will take the children home and not allow them to go to school."

What else can Shaoting say, is it actually the fault of those parents?But they also grew up with this concept, so whose fault is it?Probably, it is precisely because of searching for the root and finding out that everyone is a victim of the times, which makes it even more unacceptable.

——No one is really wrong, and this is the real tragedy.

After comforting Teacher Zhang Qiuren with a few words, he hung up the phone. Shaoting also knew that what he said was not painful or itchy. "Words are so weak."

But maybe the world is such a coincidence, Xu Yanran and Zhang Shi listened to the phone from beginning to end, although they didn't hear what Zhang Qiuren said, they also understood the ins and outs from Xu Shaoting's reply.

Xu Shaoting walked back to his bedroom in a dull manner, and the two ladies went to the living room by themselves. They whispered to each other for a while, and then went to the nephew/son's room.

Shao Ting had just written the beginning of the latest chapter of "The Great Dao", when two ladies came in, he had no choice but to put down his pen, Xu Yanran acted in the usual way, with her casual and graceful temperament.

Mrs. Zhang has also changed her shirt and trousers now. She is not tall, but she is thin enough. After leaving the old house, she now drinks milk and juice with the children every day. Not to mention her complexion has improved, her cheeks have also become plump day by day.

And after attending President Ye's funeral a few days ago, Xu Yanran forced her to perm her hair, but it only produced a curly afro effect, and she almost shed tears when she was so angry.It was Xu Yanran who figured out a way to pin all her hair behind her head with pearl clips, and then painted her eyebrows and lipstick, so she could finally be called a modern girl with an ordinary appearance.

Looking at the beige silk shirt now tucked into the dark trousers, what comes into view is a lean, lean woman in her thirties.

Xu Shaoting couldn't help but sigh with emotion, who would have thought that this was the numb and walking corpse-like woman he had just come to this era and had been devastated by life.

Xu Yanran pushed Zhang Shi: "Shaoting, your mother has something to tell you."

Xu Shaoting pointed to his bed and motioned for the two female elders to sit there and talk. He hadn't moved since the two elders came in, which was actually very rude.

It's a pity that the two ladies doted on him very much, and they had important matters to discuss with him, so they didn't notice this.

Zhang's face was full of hesitation, Xu Shaoting's feelings for Zhang's were much deeper than Xu Huaiqing's, and he himself was not sure why.

Because Mrs. Zhang spends more time with him?Or maybe Mrs. Zhang is not smart enough, unlike Xu Huaiqing, so he always feels that Xu Huaiqing has a "sense of threat" to him.

But maybe it's just because we human beings are born with a more natural attachment and closeness to our mothers.

Maybe in the novel, many people hate characters like Zhang Shi, and even hate this lady, but everyone has a position to blame Zhang Shi, including Xu Huaiqing Compared with Xu Yanran and even Zhenzhen, he is the only one who is not qualified to criticize this woman.

"Mom..." Xu Shaoting shouted after deliberation, "For me, just say what you want, how can a mother be polite to her child?"

Zhang seemed to be encouraged by these words, Xu Yanran also patted her on the shoulder, and both of them stood by her side.Xu Shaoting also looked very curiously at Zhang as if he had made a lot of determination, he gritted his teeth and closed his eyes and said, "Shaoting, do you think I can become a teacher?"

Shaoting didn't realize it at first: "What kind of teacher should I be?"

Mrs. Zhang is like a snail, the protruding tentacles retracted again, she waved her hand and was about to leave: "Forget it, just pretend that I didn't say... How can I be a teacher... Isn't this a mistake. "

It was Xu Yanran who held her back, pouring beans confidently: "Teaching middle school students and college students is definitely not at that level, but teaching elementary school students is still okay. You are fine with Chinese and mathematics at the elementary school level, even though you have forgotten English. , but the most basic vocabulary is still okay, and in the case of helping the school, it’s no different from doing charity when you go there.”

Xu Shaoting finally understood. He thought about it, and wondered whether Mrs. Zhang could become a teacher of primary school students.But if you can, you have to give it a try. If you have an idea, you should not pour cold water on it, but you should always be encouraged to do it.After all, I sometimes don't know which industry a person's skills will shine in. Maybe Mr. Zhang is very suitable to be a teacher?

Xu Shaoting jumped off the chair and ran in front of Mrs. Zhang, and Xu Yanran and Xu Yanran were on the left and right sides like two generals, and you persuaded Mrs. Zhang to just give it a try, the poor woman you said I didn't know how to listen to a few words, but in short, I was dizzy, so the two people with very strong execution ability called Zhang Qiuren and set up an interview with her in three days.

The two of them were also thoughtful, and this was to set aside a few days for her to review Zhenzhen's elementary school textbooks.

---

Time passed so quickly without knowing it, Xu Huaiqing called again and told him that Mrs. Zhang was going to apply for a teacher. Over there excitedly boasted something incomprehensible, and asked Mrs. Zhang to answer the phone, saying that she wanted to have a good chat with her.

It's a pity that Mrs. Zhang refused to get through, and said to her family: "Just think about it. It doesn't mean that I have made progress in thinking and finally saved. I have to look down on me from the perspective of an elder and encourage me like a teacher to a student. Somehow, he and I...we two people who shouldn't be in the same world, I was the one who strayed into his life."

Regarding the relationship between the two, it was inconvenient for anyone in the family to express their views, so Xu Yanran told Xu Huaiqing with a shy expression that her sister-in-law was busy and had no time to listen to him.

But before hanging up the phone, Fuzhi said something in his heart: "My sister-in-law has always been very difficult."

Xu Huaiqing on the other end of the phone boasted with emotion: "Yan Ran, you finally understand a lot."

The corners of Xu Yanran's eyes twitched, she hung up the phone directly, and suddenly understood why Mrs. Zhang didn't want to talk to Xu Huaiqing.
