Volume 4 Chapter 52 Substitute (1)

From the General Hospital to the Dongfanghong Middle School on Ganzhou Road, there is only one intersection, very close to it. He pushed his bicycle into the campus and placed it in the teacher's carport area - called the car storage area. However, in the early 1980s, bicycles were still rare, and the number of bicycles in a school was only about 31 or 2, and all belonged to teachers and school workers. None of the ten students rode bicycles to school!

After asking a male classmate, Luli found the principal's office and knocked in. There were three desk-style desks in it, filled with various documents. Several men and women were talking and heard the sound. A gray-haired man wearing sleeves and looked back, "Sorry, comrade, who are you looking for?"

"I'll find Principal Wang."

"I am, who are you?"

"Hello!" Lu Li reached out and shook with the other party, "My surname is Lu, and I am a neighbor and friend to our school teacher Comrade Liang Wei. That, she suddenly had a high fever of nearly forty degrees last night. We sent her to the hospital. She slept for half a night and woke up and told me that she had her class today! But now, it's not possible."

Principal Wang was stunned for a moment, his eyebrows frowned, "Why... why is this? Oh, it's so bad now! Lao Zheng, what do you think of this?"

Lao Zheng was a man sitting opposite Principal Wang, wearing a pair of reading glasses and sleeves. After hearing Lu Li’s words, he stood up and said, “Look, Lao Wang, I’ll say, this young man has no hair and is not doing things safely; you must not listen! What should I do now? After a while, the leaders of the district and teachers from other schools will come. This time, there is no one to save the situation!”

The only woman in the office stood up and said, "Old Zheng, I don't like to listen to you, you are talking! What does it mean to save the place? Do you think this is the theater in the old society, and it is like putting out a fire? This is a socialist school!"

"Yes, I said it wrong." Lao Zheng was so happy when he heard about it, and readily admitted his mistake, and said, "You are right. Then what do you think, what should you do now?"

"Don't worry, aren't we discussing?"

"What are you discussing? It's about 8:20 now, the district leaders will arrive at nine o'clock, and they will talk for a while. Then they will come to class to listen to the class! Now that people can't come, who can go?"

These people were just quarreling and left Luli aside. He originally planned to leave after taking leave, but now he was not in a hurry. He felt a little fun: "That. Principal Wang, our school is just a Chinese teacher?"

"Of course not, hey, why are you still here?"

Lu Li ignored him and continued to ask, "Since there are other teachers, isn't it enough to find someone else to teach? Why can't it be?"

"You don't know. This was originally a teaching activity that was mainly about young teachers. As for young teachers, of course we have them here, and other Chinese teachers, but there are no other young Chinese teachers!"

Luli smiled, "This is a bit like a white horse but a horse."

Several people were stunned at the same time. In such an era, they could say such words. It is obvious that they had also read some books, "Well, are you Comrade Xiao Lu?"

Luli looked at the few people standing in front of him and nodded blankly, "What are you doing?"

"Where is Comrade Xiao Lu going to work?"

"I... didn't have a job. I'm not working now."

"I heard you say that it seems to be an intellectual?" Principal Wang's smile seemed a bit flattering to Lu Li, and asked, "Can you tell us what your education is?"

Luli suddenly understood. "I said, you might have asked me to do it, right? This doesn't work, I don't know. I... Although I have taught someone a class, it's just a substitute class, and it's just a class, this... it's not possible."

Principal Wang and several colleagues looked at each other and felt inexplicably happy: This young man had worked as a teacher? Although he had only taught one class, he was an experienced colleague. "Well, Xiao Lu, you know the situation here. Comrade Xiao Liang is the backbone of our business, and she graduated from Tianda. We all attach great importance to it and are grateful. You also know that the education system, after the destruction of the Cultural Revolution, has now become a severely affected area. For several years, we are in a state of disagreement. We, the old comrades, said Comrade Lao Zheng, who had already become the academic director of the school, but now the education power is not enough, so we can only stand on the podium again!"

Lu Li frowned and blinked, not understanding Principal Wang's words: "Why are you talking to me about these things?"

"Comrade Xiao Lu, this time the teaching practice activities carried out at our Dongfanghong Middle School were also initiated by the leaders of the education committees at the district and the city. In order to pay more attention to and select younger and capable teachers, we will report to the city in the future and request the first step of increasing the faculty. To be honest, this important task is not only an affirmation of our past work, but also an expectation for future education work! You are also a neighbor, colleague and friend of Comrade Xiao Liang, and a comrade on the education front. Can't you help other comrades at this time?"

"Principal Wang, don't talk nonsense, I'm not an education work."

"I know, I know, haven't you said that you have taught for another teacher? Which school is it?"

“No. 1 Middle School.”

"Ah!" Principal Wang and others became more and more convinced. No. 1 Middle School is one of the famous middle schools in the city. They can pass classes there. Although there is only one short session, it is also a manifestation of their ability! The three old guys were stunned by the upcoming leaders and comrades at all levels and let Lu Li explain it, but they just didn't believe it. Teacher Zheng patted his shoulder, "Comrade Lu, why not do this. If this matter can be solved well, we will solve your work problems for you, how about?"

“What…work questions?”

"Didn't you say there is no job? It just so happens that our school lacks young comrades like you, so you can just come to our school to work. How about it?"

“Eh?”

The more Lao Zheng thought about it, the more he felt that this was a good idea. He discussed it with Principal Wang and other Teacher Liu (she is the secretary), and the two agreed together, "Then, Comrade Lu, don't carry any ideological burdens, go into battle lightly. The organization believes that you will be able to complete this task successfully!"

Lu Li was so amused and laughed! What a mess? Isn’t this a mess? Principal Wang and others didn’t explain it to him. They changed into gray-blue jackets, and with other teachers, pulled Lu Li to go out together, stood neatly at the school gate, waiting for the arrival of the vehicle. Lu Li stood in the crowd, looking left and right, they were all gray-black and blue trousers and long gowns, only he was wearing a suit, how awkward it was!

After three or five minutes, a red and white bus drove into the campus. After stopping, more than 30 people came down from the car. The leader was wearing this young outfit, with three pens in his pocket and a badge serving the people. He smiled warmly and applauded, approached Principal Wang and others, and shook hands, "Secretary Zhao, are you here in person?"

"Education is a great cause that concerns the future of the motherland. I, an old comrade who has worked for the party for many years, also have to make use of my remaining energy to express my concern as an old party member! Haha!"

"Yes, yes, yes, Secretary Zhao's emphasis on education is also the driving force for us to move forward; Secretary Zhao, let's go to the office first?"

"Okay, let's have a small meeting first and introduce the comrades from the brother schools."

"Okay, Secretary Zhao, you're here." Principal Wang led the team with a smile, and the guests walked in one after another. Lu Li followed behind with a dark face, and suddenly patted the person on his shoulder, "Why are you here?"

Lu Li didn't want to meet an acquaintance here, so she turned her head in surprise and immediately widened her eyes! This is really an old acquaintance, one is Zhao Yingjie and the other is Yang Shiguang! "You..."

"What are you doing here?"

"Oh, it's my life!" Lu Li saw that the team had walked a distance, and said in a low voice and extremely fast speech. The two of them bulged their cheeks at the same time - the expression that was so strong that they could hold back their laughter, and their bodies were trembling slightly, "Teacher, Yingjie, please help me? This... Principal Wang of a school is simply a confused worm! When he saw anything, he asked me to be a substitute teacher? Are all the teachers in the world dead? He actually found a self-employed person?"

Yang Shiguang looked up and saw that the team had already entered the teaching building. She could no longer control herself. She bent down and laughed loudly! Zhao Yingjie's appearance was not much better. He looked at Yang Shiguang and smiled in a mess! "Okay, why are you laughing?"

After half a day, the two stopped laughing, "It's okay..." Yang Shiguang patted his back, "Xiao Lu, did you forget to teach me last time? Oh, you don't know, many of my students asked me about you later! With this, you can tell that your teaching ability is still of a certain level." After saying that, she didn't even believe it herself, and bent down again laughing.

Lu Li sighed, knowing that she would not get any help from her, so she turned to Zhao Yingjie, "You can get it..." The latter said with a smile: "I can help, but all the comrades who came here know me this time, so I can't teach you a class."

"That's it, I'll go on my own." Luli said helplessly: "By the way, why have you become a teacher?"

"It's not a teacher. I said it at the beginning. I'm in the teaching and research department of the District Education Bureau."

"You know Teacher Yang? By the way, what did you teach?"

"I didn't know each other at first, but later the city held an education seminar. Teacher Yang and I attended the meeting. When we talked about it, we realized that we had such a relationship with each other." Zhao Yingjie smiled kindly and said, "Oh, I'm in the Chinese teaching and research group."
