Chapter 42 Chapter 42

Scene: At the gate of the examination room for the recruitment of cadres at the county level: Day Person: Yue'er, Teacher Yu Yue'er came out from the inside, and Teacher Yu went up to meet him, but as soon as he saw Yue'er's face, he knew that Yue'er was not admitted again. They were silent at the same time, and after a while, they said the same thing in unison: It doesn't matter... Scene: In front of the advertising column on the street in the county seat People: Teacher Yu, Yue'er, everyone watching the advertisement Teacher Yu dragged Yue'er over to watch the advertisement, and she could see that Yue'er didn't have any hopes, but in order not to disappoint Teacher Yu, she also watched it seriously.The people next to me were talking: There are as many advertisements as there are snowflakes.When the snow falls, it melts, which means nothing.Yes, so very few applicants are successful.Almost nothing.

Many others are deceptive. Take a look at this article, recruiting salesmen, with a monthly salary of 8,000, what are you kidding? Make fun of us. Mr. Yu was not influenced by their arguments, he carefully looked through one by one, and finally saw what he thought was appropriate: Yueer Yueer, look quickly.This is a job advertisement for a computer company. Scene: a computer company time: day People: Teacher Yu, Yue'er, staff from the computer company Teacher Yu: We, Yue'er, like to listen to the radio since we were young... The two people from the computer company looked at each other and held back their laughter.

Teacher Yu is still working hard: It's almost the same thing, radio and computer, anyway... A person from a computer company pointed to his forehead, suggesting to another person: Is there something wrong with this person? Teacher Yu didn't care about their ridicule, but Yue'er noticed it, and she felt very sad: Teacher Yu has been a teacher for many years.Teacher Yu: I am from Qianyao Primary School. The people from the computer company directly said: We want to recruit college students.Teacher Yu: Yue'er has been admitted to university... People from the computer company: What we want are college graduates, not college graduates.

Scene: a company time: day People: Teacher Yu, Yueer, company staff Teacher Yu pulled Yueer and opened the door: Yueer, this company recruits accountants, this is your specialty.He opened the door and said to others: Yue'er's planning is first-class. Everyone laughed, now is the age of abacus. Teacher Yu insisted on pushing Yue'er to the front. He took out the abacus and asked Yue'er to beat him. Yue'er knew that he was watching a joke, but she did it for Teacher Yu. Dazzled, I have to admire Yue'er's good abacus. The person in charge of the company said: But what we need are computer talents.

Another person said, if the time goes back ten or twenty years, our boss will definitely want you. Scene: On the streets of the county town time: day People: Teacher Yu, Yue'er, Teacher Yu's student Xiao Xu Teacher Yu and Yue'er were walking on the street when someone suddenly called Teacher Yu.Teacher Yu didn't recognize him, he held Teacher Yu's hand eagerly: Teacher Yu, you don't recognize me anymore? I'm Xiao Xu.Teacher Yu: Xiao Xu? Xiao Xu: I am your student. I used to study in Qianyao Primary School.Teacher Yu remembered: Oh, oh, Xiao Xu, Xiao Xu, yes, Xiao Xu... Xiao Xu looked at Yue'er: This is Yue'er, right? Yue'er smiled.

Xiao Xu: Teacher Yu, I have heard about you a long time ago, and I also know about Yue'er.Teacher Yu squinted his eyes with joy: Yes, yes, Yue'er.Xiao Xu: Teacher Yu, what are you doing in the county? Teacher Yu: We, we are looking for a job.Xiao Xu: Looking for a job? Scene: A big hotel in the county time: day People: Teacher Yu, Yueer, Xiao Xu, General Manager Wang Xiao Xu: Mr. Wang, this is Teacher Yu, and this is Yue'er. Mr. Wang stared at Yue'er and smiled: "Okay, okay...Xiao Xu: Mr. Wang, Yue'er graduated from high school... Mr. Wang waved his hand: I understand, I understand, well, normally, it is difficult to arrange a job after graduating from high school, but... Teacher Yu looked at Mr. Wang nervously.

Mr. Wang: But, according to Yue'er's specific situation, I can consider... Mr. Wang's eyes when he looked at Yue'er made people very uncomfortable.Teacher Yu looked at Yue'er, but Yue'er didn't say a word. President Wang enthusiastically: Yue'er, you can stay today. Scene: outside the hotel time: day People: Teacher Yu, Yueer Teacher Yu: Yue'er, let's go, we don't do it here.Yue'er: I, I would like to stay.Teacher Yu: I don't allow you to stay. With tears in her eyes, Yue'er said: Teacher Yu, how many days have you worked so hard for my work? These days, you haven't had a good meal or a good night's sleep. Now you finally have the chance. You... Teacher Yu is in a hurry: Yue'er, this place is not suitable for you.Yue'er: As long as you find a job ---

Teacher Yu got angry: Yue'er, are you greedy for vanity and think this place... Teacher Yu didn't say the following words, because he knows Yue'er very well, and Yue'er is willing to stay here to make him feel at ease. Teacher Yu pulled Yue'er up and left, Xiao Xu chased after him and asked: What's the matter, what's the matter.They are gone. The consequences of Mr. Yu’s standing still have already been manifested irrevocably. In my narration, Lao Pang and I were close to and liked the teacher at the beginning, but Lao Pang and I have been dragged by the time in my narration. We walked forward, but now we suddenly found the distance between us and Mr. Yu, so when did this distance start?

It may have been there from the very beginning. Lao Pang said, for example, practice makes perfect. Lao Pang has already integrated into Teacher Yu's world. Lao Pang really understands the stubbornness in Teacher Yu's character, the wishful thinking that ignores the surrounding environment and regardless of other people's opinions, especially Teacher Yu's love and concern for Yue'er. up. Let's go back to the village bus back then. When Mr. Yu was showing off the recruiting form, a passenger wanted to take it for a look, but Mr. Yu refused, don't read it, he said, there is nothing to see , you don't get dirty.Is it useful to take this watch? Someone asked.Of course it works.

Then let's get a piece of paper and fill it out, so we can become county party committee cadres? That won't work, Teacher Yu is a little anxious, as if he is afraid that someone will snatch something, he said, for those who need to take an exam, first there is a written test, and then there is an interview.Oh oh oh. Although there is still a little doubt in their expressions, they are more of respect and envy. I don't know whether their respect is for Teacher Yu who got the form, or for Yue'er who is about to fill out the form. But the confidence of the country people, I am very clear about this.

When the car arrived at the station, it was already dark, and now there are other means of transportation from the town to our village, because this road is not too far away, cars are unnecessary, there are three-wheeled cars, all painted If it is red, people in the countryside may think that red is more festive and auspicious, so the villagers call it red leprosy.There are also motorcycles, which are bought by some villagers who have some money, and they buy them for profit-making transportation.There are also people who can’t afford a motorcycle, but want to earn a little money, so they use a bicycle. You can sit on the back seat of his bicycle, and he will ride you home. Give him three yuan, five yuan Money, even a little less than two yuan is also acceptable, sometimes for a long ride, people are only willing to give one or two yuan, and they will agree after a long time of hesitation.They always think that strength is innate, and there is no cost.So they said, well, come on, and the bike was on the country road.The last means of transportation is our old acquaintance tractor. We all know that the tractor is the public property of the village. Only when there is something in the village can the tractor be used to set off. A trip to the tractor to do some mundane and trivial things.In our village, only Teacher Yu is the exception. The village head often drives out tractors to find a partner for Teacher Yu, and the villagers take the opportunity to ride. They say, I am thanks to Teacher Yu. After leaving my wife, we don’t have such convenience. How could we know that this sentence has been said for twenty years, and later, gradually they stopped saying such words. Although sometimes they still ride on the teacher’s tractor, but everyone I don't talk about this topic anymore.The tractors waiting at the intersection of the town today are the farmers’ own tractors. They use them to transport grain during busy farming seasons, transport building materials when building houses, and transport people during slack seasons. For renting, people renting tractors for weddings are much less now, and most of them rent them for funerals. They sit on the tractor and cry, and their cries are mixed with the sound of the tractor, adding some atmosphere to the quiet countryside. . Now Mr. Yu and I are standing at the head of the town. There are many vehicles waiting for business in front of us, but Mr. Yu and I looked at each other, and we have the same heart.go back.walk back. We left the shouts of business behind us, and we set foot on the way home. Over the years, how many times have we set foot on the way home in the night like this. Those days are gone, and the new days will be how is it. We were greeted by Yue'er's stern face. Teacher Yu said, Yue'er, you are not happy that Brother Sheng is back? I am happy. I'm happy, why are you still keeping a straight face? Why do you always come back so late, Yue'er said, I won't wait for you in the future.Not waiting, Teacher Yu took out the form with a smile, and I will wait for you from now on.If you go to work in the county, you may not be able to come back once a week. At that time, I will wait for you every day. You don't need to wait, Yue'er is still not smiling. It's okay, it's okay, Teacher Yu said, I've already thought about it along the way, I want to save money to install a telephone, so that you can tell me when you come back one day, and I can go to the town to pick you up. With a squeak, Yue'er laughed, and she said, you are the one who opened the county office.Hehe, Teacher Yu also laughed. He said seriously, I didn’t open it, but it was mine. He turned around and asked for my permission. Liansheng, do you think so? Yes, I said. I'm going to drink today, Teacher Yu said, I don't drink today, when will I drink.When Teacher Yu went to buy wine, Yue'er told me that Teacher Yu had traveled to many places and returned many forms for her work, but... I can know without saying the following, I said, then this Do you still fill in the form? You have to fill it out. I understand Yue'er, she knows that there is no hope, but in order not to make Teacher Yu sad, she will fill in the content carefully, and then follow Teacher Yu to the county to take the written test and interview, at the end, she will be notified that she was not accepted. The final facts are exactly the same as what Yue'er and I predicted. After this failure, Teacher Yu seemed a little dazed, and his indomitable spirit was obviously weakened. In front of Yue'er, he was cautious and never mentioned work. Until the Spring Festival, the village held a teacher meeting. When I went to the meeting, things changed again. The secretary of the township party committee said that the turnover of teachers in the township is relatively large, and the teaching staff is not stable enough. I hope that the teachers will focus on education and work with peace of mind. At this time, a person suddenly stood up in the meeting place. He stood straight in the middle of the meeting place, looking very eye-catching, but after he stood up, he didn't speak for a while. There was a little commotion in the venue.It's Teacher Yu.Qianyao Primary School.what is he going to do The secretary of the township party committee also recognized Teacher Yu, so he called Teacher Yu and said with a smile, "Just say what you have to say." Teacher Yu said, I listened to Secretary Li's report...the secretary said, my surname is Wang. Oh, Mr. Yu said, I listened to Secretary Wang's report and understood a truth, that is to say, there is a shortage of teachers in schools in our villages, right? The secretary is a little embarrassed, he can neither say right nor wrong , Right, it seems that his report is too lacking in policy level. After talking for a long time, the teachers only heard the meaning of lack of teachers. In fact, there are multiple meanings in the secretary's report. It’s not good, it’s not passed on, it’s because there’s something wrong with the level of the teachers’ listening, right? He’s denying the facts, because in fact, the current rural education is really weak and there’s a shortage of teachers, and in his report, it’s true After talking about this level of meaning, the secretary was a little embarrassed. He just nodded to Teacher Yu and didn't answer right or wrong. But his nod encouraged Teacher Yu, and Teacher Yu said, since this is the case, I recommend someone to be a teacher.Teacher Yu undoubtedly wanted to recommend Yue'er. I'm afraid everyone who was present and who knew about Teacher Yu's situation would have thought of this, but the secretary felt that it was a bit incongruous to suddenly insert such a stick in the middle of his speech and report at the meeting. So the secretary said, Teacher Yu, let's discuss the matter of recommending someone to be a teacher after the meeting. Teacher Yu was stunned for a moment, but still standing, he was a little dazed.The secretary said, Teacher Yu, please sit down first. Teacher Yu just sat down, and everyone felt that Teacher Yu hadn't reached the age of senility, but he was already looking a little senile.Teacher Yu is getting old fast. I didn't see him like this last year.Probably too much work.Maybe being alone is too lonely. Everyone had a little discussion about the teacher. When Teacher Yu heard their discussion, he turned around and nodded to them, and said, thank you, thank you. It should be said that at this time, Mr. Yu had already begun to show a little bit of inconsistency, but everyone didn't take it very seriously. They just felt that he was a bit old and his reaction was slow, and he felt a little ignorant. Teacher Yu’s recommendation of Yue’er as a teacher started from here. After the meeting, the person in charge of education in the village told Teacher Yu that considering Teacher Yu’s contribution to rural education over the past few decades, the village can arrange for Yue’er to be a teacher , but the final decision rests with the County Education Bureau. They said, Teacher Yu, don’t worry, go back and wait for the news. We will report Yue’er’s list to the county first. If the leaders of our company talk about this matter, we will work hard to facilitate it. But Teacher Yu couldn't wait for the Spring Festival to pass, so he decided to go to the county education bureau by himself. There.Village head, I want to open a letter of introduction, Teacher Yu said. Ahaha, the village head looks like you just came here at the right time. The village head said, I am going to find you, and I have already opened a letter of introduction for you.Hey, Teacher Yu said, do you know that I'm going to the county? The village chief smiled complacently. How could I not know that I did it myself. I had a big talk with the county leaders, and they were all moved.Ahhh, Teacher Yu is very moved, village chief, thank you so much. What can I say to thank you? The village head said, if your matter is resolved, it means my own matter is resolved. You know that your matter has been the biggest knot in my heart for so many years. The village head is a good person, Mr. Yu said, the village head is really a good person. The village chief took out the letter of introduction that had already been opened and handed it to Teacher Yu. Teacher Yu, take a look for yourself and see if it is written well. No need to read, Teacher Yu said, can something wrong with what the village head does? Besides, it’s not that you don’t recognize me, it’s not that you don’t know my situation, Teacher Yu carefully put away the letter of introduction while talking up. You must have seen that there is a problem here, and it is indeed the case. The village head and Mr. Yu's thinking went astray. Mr. Yu wanted to go to the county education bureau, but the village head introduced Mr. Yu to the county civil affairs bureau. What the village chief said he had blown to the county leaders was actually talking to the people from the Civil Affairs Bureau about Mr. Yu's problem. , and Teacher Yu will take this letter of introduction to the County Education Bureau to find a job for Yue'er. This is how the misunderstanding arose. It's just that Teacher Yu and the village head don't know yet. They are all immersed in their own excitement. The village head is also old now. He squinted his eyes and watched Teacher Yu's back in the distance. Well, he said, otherwise, I will have grandchildren, and you are not married, what is this? Of course, Teacher Yu was also full of excitement. When everyone was busy preparing for the New Year, he came to the County Education Bureau. According to normal assumptions, when Mr. Yu came to the County Education Bureau, he wanted to find the director. Maybe he was told that the director was not there, or where he was going to have a meeting. Then Teacher Yu wanted to find the deputy director, but he was told that the deputy director was not there either. , this is the busy time, the deputy directors will not stay in the office, there is no such leisurely thing, so what should I do, who should I turn to for my work, Mr. Yu said, of course people will ask him what's the matter, Teacher Yu tried to say something, but he was afraid that he could not explain clearly, so he took out the letter of introduction from the village head and handed it over to this person. Teacher Yu may not be able to tell the subject of the teacher's qualifications anyway. At that time, Teacher Yu felt that as long as he found them, his heart would be more at ease. It is clear that he is either the section chief, or the deputy section chief, or an ordinary section member, but in the eyes of the teacher, he is his lucky star. Teacher Yu feels that as long as he utters a word, Yue'er can be a teacher So, after Teacher Yu handed him the letter of introduction, he stared at the man's mouth closely, expecting to say something from his mouth, no problem, don't worry, and so on. Teacher Yu even rubbed his lips Rubbed his eyes, afraid that he could not see clearly. This person read the letter of introduction from the village chief to see the problem, but he couldn't understand it for a while, because the thing was so strange, his mind was spinning quickly, trying to figure out why, but he couldn't. Come out, this person who claims to be a teacher, took a marriage introduction letter, and came to the Education Bureau, what is he doing, this person has never encountered such a thing in his work for many years, he was surprised, strange, doubtful and funny For a while, he thought that something was wrong with his thinking, so he calmed down his emotions, read it again, but still didn't understand, read it again, still didn't understand, gradually and unknowingly, his mouth became more and more The bigger Zhang is, it must be because his surprise is getting stronger. In Teacher Yu's opinion, the comrade from the Education Bureau opened his mouth wide. He must be about to speak. Judging by the expression on his face, Teacher Yu can conclude that things are hopeful. Teacher Yu said eagerly, "Comrade, how are you? Sample? The comrade's eyes moved away from the letter of introduction and moved to Teacher Yu's face. He looked at Teacher Yu's face and asked, you just said, which township and village are you a teacher from? It's from Qianyao Village Primary School in Fenhu Township, Teacher Yu said quickly.You said the surname is Yu, is it Teacher Yu? Yes, it is Teacher Yu. The person's eyes returned to the letter of introduction, looked again, and then returned to Teacher Yu's face: Your personal marriage problems have not been resolved? Hehe, Teacher Yu was a little embarrassed, but it's nothing, he said.How old are you this year? Hey, I'm a dog, forty-three this year. Oh, the man hesitated again, as if he didn't know what to say next.How about comrades, how about comrades, Teacher Yu asked eagerly.Do you know what our Education Bureau is in charge of? Yes, I know, Teacher Yu said, it’s in charge of teachers. This person was in a daze again, what Teacher Yu said was good, he couldn’t say that you were wrong, but he also couldn’t say that what you said was right, which means that he might have to help Teacher Yu solve his persistent problem Well, he is not a dating agency, his own marriage problem has not yet been resolved, and he is still struggling with talking about a partner, so he feels very embarrassed and unbelievable, this village teacher who claims to be a teacher, what kind of muscle? It's wrong. Just when he didn't know what to do, his colleagues came in. They probably went out for business, and now two or three of them came back together. When they came in, they saw such a scene, two people were sitting face to face, One was stupefied and the other was dumbfounded. They laughed and said, what's the matter, Ding Xiangdong.Only then did Teacher Yu know that the person who was talking to him was surnamed Ding, and Teacher Yu said, Comrade Ding, Comrade Ding, do you think it will work? Comrade Ding finally had a solution. He handed over the letter of introduction that Mr. Yu had given him to his comrades: Look, what is this? His colleagues looked at it, one looked at it, and opened his mouth wide, and the second looked at it, and opened his mouth wide again, and they all looked over one by one, and each of them opened their mouths wide and laughed.Hahaha.Hehehe. Teacher Yu was also very happy and laughed along with them, hehehe.Do you think this is our business? Did you come to us specifically for this matter? Who told you to come to us? Teacher Yu felt that they were asking more and more detailed questions, that is to say, the hope of success was getting bigger and bigger. He nodded repeatedly. Whatever they asked, he nodded and said yes. It was still Comrade Ding, who felt that the matter was really strange, so he asked Teacher Yu again, have you read this letter of introduction yourself? After reading it, Teacher Yu said, I asked the village chief to write it.Hehehe, they laughed again. In their laughter, Teacher Yu said excitedly, I said that things can be done, I said there is hope, I said that the leaders will pay attention to it, I said --- their laughter began to converge, and the smile on their faces The smiles also became stiff, and their eyes also changed, but Teacher Yu couldn't notice, he was immersed in his own thoughts, and he continued: They all told me not to come out, they said, it's useless for you to go, Fortunately, I did not listen to them, fortunately I have my own ideas, I said that I must go in person, I will do it myself, and it will be done, hehe, hehe... You, one of them, began to speak cautiously, you, are you Teacher Yu? It's Teacher Yu. You, why haven't your personal problems been resolved? Hey, Teacher Yu said, I'm not very active either.So now you are active in this matter? That is of course, Teacher Yu said, things are of course positive now, this is the biggest concern in my life. They looked at each other with strange eyes, and almost at the same time they began to think in a certain direction. Is it because you have been unable to solve it before, and you-- Yes, yes, I don't know how many places I have traveled to and how many people I have looked for, but I have not been able to solve it. Now that I find you, it will be good. They looked at each other again, but they really couldn't understand. Teacher Yu said for a while that he was not active in the past, and then said that he couldn't solve the problem after going to many places, so their thinking went in that direction.This person is sick? Is he the teacher? They exchanged thoughts with their eyes, and finally one of them came forward and asked: Teacher Yu, do you have that or something? We mean, this letter of introduction is of course credible, but now there is that or something... After all, they are all soft-hearted people, and it seems inconvenient to say it directly, saying that Teacher Yu's letter of introduction is fake, so he hesitates, hoping that Teacher Yu can understand half of his words, but we know that Teacher Yu's letter of introduction is fake. His thinking is also linear, and he usually cannot comprehend half of what he said, or what he said in a roundabout way, so Mr. Yu asked: What is there? There is no other way, and he has no choice but to speak directly. He said, what is going on outside now? Everything is fake, and the letter of introduction may also be fake or forged, so if you have an ID card, Mr. Yu, please show us... Teacher Yu was not angry at all. They doubted the authenticity of his letter of introduction. When Mr. Yu took out his ID card, he took out many things from his pocket and put them on the table one by one. This is my identification.This is a work permit. This is my certificate for participating in the abacus competition in the county.this is--- But these proofs of Mr. Yu, in turn, added to their doubts, and now their doubts have changed from polysemous doubts to single suspicions, that is to say, they now have a clear direction, and they think that Mr. Yu is true. For Teacher Yu, what they suspected was whether there was something wrong with Teacher Yu's spirit.At this time, one of the people in their department had already gone out to tell the comrades in other departments about the matter. Among the comrades in other departments, one person said that he knew Teacher Yu, met him before, and had a meeting with him, so he ran over , Standing at the door and looking, he confirmed that Teacher Yu was Teacher Yu, it was him, he said, but he was getting old very quickly. In this way, their ideas are completely consistent.Teacher Yu is sick.Definitely sick. They from the Education Bureau began to stay with the teacher. They went to another office and called the village first, but no one answered the village phone. They finally found the phone number of Qianyao Village. When they called, it was the village Long connected.How could that be? The village head was puzzled. I clearly told him to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau.They from the Education Bureau said, don’t talk about other things now, the village should send someone to take Teacher Yu back, no matter how serious his condition is now, he is still a member of the teaching team, and the Education Bureau has the responsibility to treat him Responsible to the end.How could this happen? The village chief still couldn't figure it out. Before he left, he was fine and normal when he came to my place. How could he get sick like this when he came to the county. When the village chief was talking with the comrades from the Education Bureau, Teacher Yu was sitting in the office next door. He was smiling, drinking tea, smoking the cigarettes he was given, and said, good people, you are all good people. What happened next was my own experience. After answering the phone, the village chief ran to tell Yue’er. I was at Yue’er’s house at the time. I mobilized Yue’er to review again and take the college entrance examination next year. I thought Yue’er would be able to pass the exam. But Yue'er answered irrelevantly and said that Teacher Yu went to the county again.At this time, the village chief came, and he told Yue'er to get on the tractor quickly, and went to the county to pick up Teacher Yu immediately. Yue'er cried bitterly, she could barely move, the village head and I helped her onto the tractor, Yue'er was a strong child since she was a child, it was the first time I saw her cry so weakly and helplessly, my My heart hurts almost to pieces, I really want to say to her, Yue'er, I will protect you, love you, and care for you all my life, but I didn't say it out, I know Yue'er doesn't want to listen to me now.In fact, when we rushed to the county in a hurry, the matter with Teacher Yu had already been resolved. While they were waiting for us to pick up Teacher Yu, they talked with Teacher Yu again and found some problems. After repeated verifications, the misunderstanding was finally revealed. Everyone laughed and called the village chief immediately, but the village chief was already on the road with us and could not receive the call, so when we arrived at the county education bureau , everything has been calm, Teacher Yu is not sick, Teacher Yu's recommendation of Yue'er as a teacher has also been implemented. The comrades in the Education Bureau were moved by Teacher Yu's behavior and promised to do their best to help Teacher Yu. The result was a happy one.
