Ordinary people's rice bowl

Chapter 75
The higher the old Mu's expectations for Mu Zhen, the greater the pressure on Mu Zhen. Mu Zhen is no longer the Mu Zhen she was when she was a child. She has her own views on life. No matter what difficulties she encounters, she no longer has The sad thought of suicide was replaced by how to solve it, actively looking for a solution.

Mu Zhen is a little disgusted with Lao Mu's approach. Over the years, Mu Zhen has understood Lao Mu's mood of wanting his son to become a dragon. Therefore, Mu Zhen always reserves and does not express opposition to Lao Mu's opinions. Because of this, even Lao Mu Mu Zhen didn't satisfy herself with what she did, and Mu Zhen could stick to Lao Mu's ideas, because Mu Zhen knew very well that if Lao Mu's ideas were not implemented, only Lao Mu's disappointment and anger awaited her.

Old Mu looked at Mu Zhen working on those exercise books every day, and felt that Mu Zhen was no longer a child, and that he should be the one to make decisions about his studies. When he was his age, there was no one to guide him in what he should do. What, what to do, I plan my own life completely by myself, from the perspective of learning, isn't Mu Zhen now the same as she was back then?But in terms of life, Lao Mu believes that Mu Zhen is much stronger than himself back then. At least Mu Zhen has a complete family. Every time he thinks of this, the corners of his eyes always feel moist. He must hold up an umbrella for this family , Try to shelter the children from wind and rain, and create conditions for their learning. `
In the beginning of autumn, the heat of summer has not yet gone, but the night is no longer as muggy as before. The family members have gone to sleep, and Lao Mu is sitting quietly in the dark night alone, looking at the sky full of stars, he noticed the Big Dipper The bucket handle has begun to point southwest, and autumn has begun.From time to time, the topic of the teacher's regularization mentioned by the director of the education committee at the meeting today flashed in his mind. From the day he started teaching, he has never been involved in the slightest selfishness. He treats work seriously and meticulously, and treats students better than his relatives. He is always "loyal to the party's educational cause" as advocated by the state, but when he is teaching, his identity is still that of a farmer, which is fundamentally different from a public teacher.

In the past few years, Xiuhua persuaded Lao Mu more than once to let him leave the platform and engage in some business, and he would earn more money than being a teacher. However, Lao Mu always laughed at Xiuhua's persuasion. So he didn't leave the school because he already had an inseparable affection for the children. Whenever he stepped onto the podium, he saw pairs of eyes seeking knowledge, and he forgot his identity. During this period, he likes to communicate with children, likes to describe himself as a planter, sows the seeds of knowledge into the children's minds, and likes to play with the children on campus every day. In his innocence, he felt that he had become younger, and he was completely relaxed.Because of his excellent performance in teaching, he has won various honorary certificates from the commune and the town almost every year for so many years. Especially last year, he won the title of "Excellent Teacher" in the county. It is this honor that makes him He got the opportunity to report materials as a regular teacher.He cherishes this opportunity very much. This is the highest honor for all private teachers like him. How can we not make him excited?
When Lao Mu took over the regularization forms that needed to be filled out by himself from the director of the Education Committee, his hands trembled a little. He thanked his superiors for the honor he received, his comrades for their support to his work, and his leaders for their trust in him. His blood and sweat.Facing the form, Lao Mu carefully checked it according to the requirements for filling in the form mentioned at the meeting, and made a draft on the paper first, lest he could not change it if he made a mistake. After filling it out, he checked it word by word, lest he missed a word. This opportunity to become a full-time employee, Lao Mu knew that it was not easy to come by, he did not dare to ignore the details of every form, and even checked every punctuation in the resume column several times.

It was another weekend, and the weather was so clear and cloudless. The town education committee notified Lao Mu to get back the various graduation certificates that were attached to the form when he filled out the form. The "Old Long March" went to the Education Committee like a gust of wind.

As soon as Lao Mu entered the small courtyard of the Education Committee, he saw Mr. Liu, who was in charge of the regularization of private teachers this time, sorting out something.

"Mr. Liu, the education committee notified me to retrieve the personal materials I brought back at that time. Are you looking for you?" Lao Mu greeted Teacher Liu enthusiastically.

"Mr. Mu, all your materials are here. I want to tell you some bad news. Your materials failed the county's preliminary review because your academic qualifications are not up to the standard for this time."

Teacher Liu's calm tone was like a slap in the face to Lao Mu, and this opportunity was in vain for him.He suddenly remembered Da'an reminding himself to study for a correspondence degree. At that time, he thought that what he had learned could be qualified for his job, so why bother to learn that knowledge.Only at this time did I realize that people who read a lot can see farther. If this opportunity is missed, I don’t know when I will have the next opportunity. Even if the next opportunity comes, is it different or difficult to pass?
"May I ask Mr. Liu, what educational qualifications can pass this review?" Lao Mu's voice was very low, and at this time his body really deflated like a deflated ball.

"At least a middle school correspondence degree! And you can only provide a high school diploma, which does not meet the requirements of this review. We also want to transfer you one more, but there is really no way. This is hard work. There is no way. The county You were not the only one who called back, there were nearly ten calls back in the whole county, most of them were because of their education background." Teacher Liu explained.

Standing there, Lao Mu really felt as if he had fallen into a cold cellar, feeling the chill all over his body.

"Correspondence from the middle school!" Lao Mu repeated.

"Yes, at least it should be a correspondence course with a middle school teacher!" Mr. Liu said affirmatively.

"Then how can someone like me get this correspondence course?" Hearing Teacher Liu's words, Lao Mu suddenly felt that it would not be too late to make up for what he didn't have.

"It's very simple. We have a correspondence station this year. You can sign up. After passing the exam, you can get it!" Teacher Liu responded with a smile.

"Then I will sign up, and I will definitely win this correspondence course!" Lao Mu said firmly.

"After school starts, you can come to the Education Committee. I will give you a form. Fill it out at that time. The exam is not too difficult. If you pass it, you can take part in the study. If you pass all the exams, you can get your graduation certificate. At that time, All the problems will be solved." Teacher Liu said it very easily, and Lao Mu listened very seriously. In Lao Mu's heart, he had already made up his mind that he must do everything possible to get this degree and avoid such a situation that would be caused by his degree. The embarrassment outside the blocking door.

On the way home, Lao Mu felt very uncomfortable. Over the years, he had been able to obtain a junior college correspondence degree many times, but each time he gave up the opportunity for various reasons. Now it is too late to regret it. The most urgent thing for him now is to Solve the problem of academic qualifications to make up for his shortcomings in life, so as to obtain the most glorious opportunity in life.Thinking of this, Lao Mu's mood became much brighter, and he was no longer as cold as before.
