20 years of teaching

Chapter 22 Mirror Lake Junior High School
Liu Fuliang hated the town education committee for not having jurisdiction over Lingnan High School. He had been fighting for this jurisdiction, but his superiors had never agreed.

Before Ma Jingzhou could finish speaking, Liu Fuliang said impatiently: "Secondment is just a formality. In less than a year, Fan Qiang's organizational relationship will be transferred to Lingnan High School. If he writes about Jinghu Junior High School, why should Fan Qiang give the letter of introduction to him?" Who? Hand it over to Jinghu Junior High School and then go to Lingnan High School? You can rest assured to write according to my request, and one day our township education committee will have the right to govern Lingnan High School."

"...Understood, I'll finish it right away." Ma Jingzhou took a step back before turning around and leaving the office.

"Fan Qiang, it's not bad, it's not easy to be transferred to high school this year. After you get to high school, teach well, your future will be much better than in junior high school, and the salary will be better." Director Liu spoke weakly, and he pulled out a He lit a cigarette, took a few puffs after lighting it.

Only then did Fan Qiang remember that he had brought cigarettes with him today, and quickly took out a pack of Hongtashan from his pocket: "My memory is really bad, I forgot to pass you the cigarettes. Forget it, I won't open this pack of cigarettes, I will give you all the cigarettes." You smoke."

"No, no, I have it here." There was a smile on the corner of Liu Fuliang's mouth.

"You take it, open it and hand you one, and I'll take the rest back. My dad and I don't smoke, so won't it be moldy if we leave it at home?" Fan Qiang opened the drawer of the desk and put the cigarette away. Put it in a drawer.

Lin Feifan turned his head and looked out the window...

"Lin Feifan, you hand over the letter of introduction to Principal Shi these two days. Jinghu Junior High School will be delayed for a while, so you wait at home for a few days, and I will call Principal Shi and inform you to go to work later." Director Liu continued to speak. Qi Ruoyousi, listless look.

"Oh, thank you, Director Liu." Lin Feifei wanted to report to the leaders about the transfer of the victims in the Education Bureau with Chief Yin and Principal Shi, but after thinking about it, he decided not to mention it. He frowned slightly. Director Liu who met for the first time was a little disgusted.

……

"...and keep saying that I'm flattering, who is it?" Lin Feifei took Fan Qiang home by bike, taunting Fan Qiang all the way, "I'm surprised, you don't even hand over a bag to Chief Yin in the Education Bureau. One cigarette, here, I simply gave the whole pack of cigarettes to Director Liu."

Fan Qiang said: "It's not flattery, I'm just thanking him. My dad said that if Director Liu doesn't agree, even if Lingnan High School wants me, I won't be able to go to Lingnan High School. As for the one named Yin, cut it, I won't give him the butt of cigarettes." smoke!"

"The township education committee has so much power? Can it be greater than the head of the personnel department of the education bureau?" Lin Feifei was puzzled.

Fan Qiang said: "The more than 300 primary and secondary school teachers in the whole town are all under his control. Do you think he has a lot of power? If you have the opportunity, it will be good for you to curry favor with him. As for the head of the personnel department, he is too far away from us. The county magistrate might as well manage it now. To curry favor with Director Liu is of practical significance to us."

Lin Feifei had a look of disdain on his face: "I don't flatter him. I teach my books well. Why should I flatter him? Looking at him like that, he's not going anywhere. Is he sick? Listless, sick It looks sick."

Having arrived at the entrance of the department store, Fan Qiang got out of the car, looked at his watch and said, "It's already 04:30, you still have to go to Jinghu Junior High School, you should go quickly, it's almost time to get off work."

After Fan Qiang finished speaking, he covered his nose with his hand and walked straight home.

Lin Feifan shouted: "You haven't answered my question yet, so why is Director Liu so sluggish?"

"He's dead wife." Fan Qiang pushed open the door and entered the house, then closed the door again.

"What? You don't need to scold him. You just flattered him in front of him. It's really a trick behind your back." After Lin Feifei said a few words loudly, he rode on his bicycle and rushed to Jinghu Junior High School.

……

After getting off his bicycle at the gate of Jinghu Junior High School, Lin Feifan was stunned for a while. He had never been to this school closest to his home since he was a child.

I just heard that the quality of teaching here is very poor, but I didn't expect that I would be assigned here now, and I will work here and become a member of Jinghu Junior High School.

An inexplicable feeling came to my heart, not to mention grievance, but at least there is no joy of new work at present...

The school gates are two large iron gates, which have rusted and turned yellowish brown.

There is a wheel under the iron gate, and more than half of it is sunk in the mud, which shows that the school gate has not been closed for several years.

The entrance is a gravel road, which is not as smooth as the road of Lingnan High School. There are many stones protruding from the road surface, and cypress trees are planted on both sides of the road.

The campus is not very deep, not far from the end of the road is the courtyard wall, and the front of the east is a teaching building, which is built facing south.

There are also rows of tile-roofed houses on the east side, which are probably dormitories, and two rows of tile-roofed houses are built next to the courtyard wall at the back of the campus.

To the west is the playground, which is small in size and muddy, with two prefabricated basketball hoops standing at both ends of the playground.

There are several houses on the south side of the playground, and there is a large pile of coal next to it, which is probably the kitchen.

To the west of the playground is a large vegetable field, in which many vegetables are grown, and the growth of all kinds of vegetables is gratifying.

There are a few small houses at the end of the vegetable field, and I heard the sound of pigs screaming. It seems that Jinghu Junior High School also raised pigs.

Further to the west is an orange garden, and the location of the west courtyard wall cannot be seen. The east-west direction of the school spans very large.

The overall environment is much worse than that of the Lingnan High School campus, giving people a feeling of remoteness. Rows of tile-roofed houses are old and rustic, and I don’t know when they were built.

The location of the teaching building is also very inappropriate, inserted horizontally in the middle of the low tile-roofed buildings, it feels very different.

Lin Feifan drove his bicycle around the campus, frowning all the time, in a bad mood.

The enthusiasm brought about by Chief Yin's enthusiastic encouragement quickly cooled down, and his wish to be assigned to Lingnan High School for many years has completely come to nothing.

Facing such a school with poor conditions and a bad reputation, how can you be happy?It's not bad if you don't cry.

There was a noisy sound from the teaching building. Lin Feifan parked his bicycle on the side of the road and walked towards the teaching building.

As soon as I got downstairs, a woman's voice came from the second floor: "Hero Lin, I'm here."

Lin Feifei looked up and saw that young woman, oh, the Widow Yu mentioned by Master Diao was smiling brightly on the second floor, and waved vigorously towards the downstairs.

There were many people in the corridor, Chief Yin and Principal Shi were also on the second floor. Principal Shi found Lin Feifan, and quickly walked towards the stairs at the west end, shouting as he walked, "Mr. Lin, you don't need to come up, I'll go down."

Widow Yu was a little dazed after hearing Principal Shi's words. She held on to the railing and leaned down: "Are you really the teacher here?"

Lin Feifan nodded and smiled, and was about to answer when Principal Shi came down, walked over and held Lin Feifan's hand and said, "Welcome, welcome, we haven't assigned newcomers over for several years in Jinghu Junior High School, I hope you will come, give us School brings vitality and hope! Come and sit in my room."

Upstairs, Widow Yu opened her mouth slightly, her eyes flickered, as if she was thinking about something...
