The current education is not as valued as it is in later generations. Their Fengyang County Education Bureau doesn’t even have a decent facade. It just builds a small second floor next to the county government, with the Education Bureau’s sign on the door, and then Rubbing against the gate post of the county government, he used it as his own security booth.
At the end of the lunch break, Wang Yuemin hurried through the gate with his briefcase in his hands and braved the light snow, preparing to go back to the office.
"Director Wang, this comrade is looking for you. He is a teacher of Hongqi Commune Primary School. I just checked the letter of introduction and the official seal of the unit."
When I was about to go in, I was stopped by a retired veteran at the gate.
Wang Yuemin stopped. On weekdays, principals of primary schools under the commune seldom appear in the Education Bureau, let alone those teachers. With this curiosity, Wang Yuemin looked at the people who came.
There is no doubt about Su Aobai's outstanding appearance, but what is most striking about him is his aura, which he only had after he came into this body. In order to let the people around him adapt to this process, he changed very slowly.
At first glance, Wang Yuemin felt that the young man in front of him was very calm and majestic, not like a teacher in the commune primary school. Just now he glanced at the letter of introduction, and he was just a temporary teacher with no establishment.
The dress of the other party is also very impressive. In the past, when the leaders of various schools came to the Education Bureau for a meeting, there were very few people dressed as decently as him. If it wasn't for the occasion and the wrong identity, he might think that the person in front of him was some big factory. Graduated from Weili University, read newspapers, write the party constitution of the Standing Committee, or be the confidant secretary of the leadership of the organization.
But his attire is not without clues. For example, he is wearing a pair of cotton shoes at the moment. A decent person will definitely choose leather shoes or rubber-soled shoes when he goes out to do errands. This shows that the family conditions of the person in front of him are not that good. , which is in line with his status as a temporary teacher.
"Hello Director Wang, I am an educated youth who went to the countryside in 1968 and was assigned to the sub-brigade of the Hongqi Commune. All primary school students apply to participate in the cultural examination at the end of the term."
Su Aobai bluntly expressed his intention to come.
It turns out that he is an educated youth, no wonder his mental outlook is a bit different, but Wang Yuemin has also seen many educated youths who have gone to the countryside. Many of them have been bent over by the heavy farm work in the countryside. There is only fatigue and unwillingness in their eyes. Looking back to the city, few people are as calm as the young man in front of him, but also exuding a positive energy.
And what was he saying?
He wants to apply for the final cultural examination for the students of Hongqi Commune Primary School!
Wang Yuemin suddenly became more interested in the young man in front of him.
"Go to my office."
He nodded at Su Aobai, motioning for Su Aobai to follow.
*****
Wang Yuemin has his own office, but the layout inside is very simple. In addition to a desk, there is also a bookcase that occupies an entire wall, and there are some teaching materials and documents in it.
Wang Yuemin is a leader who attaches great importance to education. This can be seen from the fact that he was transferred to the Fengyang County Education Bureau and carried out several drastic reforms. He is the one who created the current county-wide final examination, a school with a high ranking Not only the leading teachers can be rewarded, but also the students with the highest personal rankings can also be rewarded.
Wang Yuemin's birth is unusual, but the family has a large number of people, and the resources he can get are relatively limited.
At the beginning, he had the opportunity to be assigned to a better unit, but after analyzing the national conditions, Wang Yuemin resolutely chose the education system, because the development of a country cannot be separated from talents. In the past few years, the country has taken some wrong paths. But judging from the policies in recent years, the top leaders seem to have realized this, and the voices of the people against death/people/gangs are getting louder and louder. Sooner or later, politics will be clear. At that time, it is the country that needs it most. The timing of selecting talents, the college entrance examination, the simplest and fairest selection mechanism, will be restored sooner or later.
Wang Yuemin feels that in the next few years, the education system will have a lot to offer.
He pointed to the chair opposite the desk, and asked Su Aobai to sit down, while he went to the bookcase and found a bunch of documents.
These are the results of the first few unified examinations. At that time, all the primary and secondary schools in the county participated. As a result, the results of the county's primary and secondary schools and several schools for the children of factories and government agencies were only fair. To describe it in words, it was appalling. They seemed to have never studied at all, and there were many students who took single-digit exams.
At the beginning, Wang Yuemin wanted to change this situation, but who knew that some commune schools were unwilling to take the unified examination after finishing one or two times at the bottom.
In the first few years, the educational environment was not good, and the teachers were all in danger. Students in junior high and high schools resumed classes soon, and occasionally made troubles. Some leaders of the commune were like toubobs. In this difficult situation, Wang Yuemin has no choice but to focus his work on urban schools with a relatively better learning atmosphere.
A few years have passed in a flash, and the current education situation is not as bad as it was in the early years, but they have become used to not notifying the commune primary schools to take the unified examination, even though some schools may be willing to take the unified examination, but with such poor results, they are at the bottom It will not make the teachers and students of other schools feel happy.
"Red Flag Primary School, right? I remember your Principal Liu."
Wang Yuemin took the pair of documents and sat down in his seat. The principal Liu he was talking about was the old principal.
Hongqi Commune is also at the bottom of many communes, with a small labor force and not much land, so the commune does not have enough funds to build primary schools. In the early years, children in Hongqi Commune had to walk more than ten kilometers to go to the nearest commune primary school.
The old headmaster is from the Hongqi Commune. He was an old scholar before the founding of the People’s Republic of China and taught in a private school. He felt that the children in his commune had a hard time studying, so he often went to the County Education Bureau to learn from the previous leaders. Approval documents and two hundred yuan of funds, but what can this money do? In the end, the primary school relied on the old principal to move around, borrowing labor from various production teams during the slack season, quarrying rocks and cutting trees on the mountain, and then slowly building it. of.
When Wang Yuemin handed over the work, he heard the former director talk about him. He praised the old principal as a responsible educator. Unfortunately, Hongqi Primary School has not produced any educational achievements in recent years.
"Every school is eligible to participate in the final exam. In fact, you don't need to apply to me specifically. It's just what kind of grades do you think your students can get in the exam?"
Wang Yuemin's impression of the students in the commune is still a few years ago, and he feels that after a few years, the teachers and students who follow the steps will not change.
Will this person in front of him surprise him?
"Director Wang, let me tell you my story first."
Su Aobai's expression remained calm.
Director Wang, please listen to him slowly flickering.
"I am from Ning City. My father works in a machine tool factory, and my mother works in a food field. Compared with most people, my family conditions are relatively well-off, so I was able to study until the year I graduated from high school. Mobilizing educated young people to go to the countryside to support rural construction, I came to the Northwest with many like-minded classmates with the idea of changing the countryside..."
Su Aobai spoke eloquently, telling about the incompatibility when he first came to the countryside, and also talked about the current situation of the educated youths after they went to the countryside. Here, the knowledge they learned before is completely useless, let alone create a new countryside.
In the face of day-to-day heavy farming, all ideals have turned into castles in the air.
These sounded like just complaints, but Wang Yuemin did not interrupt his talk.
"I'm one of the lucky ones among the educated youths. After I got married, I became a teacher in a commune primary school with the help of my father-in-law."
Su Aobai didn't shy away from this matter, because what he said was too frank, so Wang Yuemin didn't look down on him because of this, but felt that he was frank enough.
"The teaching situation in the commune primary school is very bad. It is difficult for the teachers to control the students. Some teachers have no teaching ability and let the children do farm work when they should be in class..."
Wang Yuemin frowned, but quickly relaxed, because this is indeed the current situation in many commune schools. Farming and labor classes take up too much time, and some teachers use the public land in the school to increase their own harvest.
"In the commune, there are not many parents who value education. Many people send their children to school just to let him know a few more words so that he will not become illiterate in the future. Therefore, in the fourth and fifth grades, dropouts abound. , I once taught a very smart student. He was not only smart, but also willing to learn. The student asked me with a look of yearning, what is high school like, and what is technical secondary school like? Junior high school or high school, can I become a people's teacher like me, but he dropped out of school not long after, and when I visited that student's home, he was returning with a heavy basket of pigweed, because he The elder brother is going to marry a wife, and the family needs an extra labor force to earn work points, which can also save him a few dollars in tuition fees."
Su Aobai paused, this is not a story he made up, but what Yuanshen really experienced.
"At that time, I persuaded his parents to send him back to school, but his parents asked me, even if he is admitted to a technical secondary school in the future, so what, can he really be assigned work? If so, why are there so many educated youths in the city? What about going to the countryside? This question stopped me."
Not everyone is as easy to fool as the Chu family couple. Some people know very well that the employment situation in the city is equally severe. So many children in the city cannot be assigned jobs after graduation, let alone the rural people.
Those scholars who have worked so hard to confess will eventually become workers, and how many of them will enter government agencies?
The result was obvious, the original body failed to bring the child who was eager to study back to school.
Listening to Su Aobai's narration, Wang Yuemin suddenly wanted to smoke.
The tone is obviously very flat, why does it make him feel an uncontrollable sadness? As the director of the Education Bureau, in his jurisdiction, ordinary people are not optimistic about the future of education. Is this also a kind of dereliction of duty? Performance?
"During that time, I was also confused. Just like when I first went to the countryside, I couldn't see the meaning of going to the countryside. When I was teaching, I couldn't see the way forward. Until the middle of this year, because my mother fell ill Return home to visit relatives."
Speaking of this, Su Aobai's tone became much more excited.
There are always a few cities that are at the forefront of reform, because they have been keenly aware of the signs of many policies before there is any sign of trouble.
The shattering of the dead/people/gang is an established fact that is about to happen. The collapse of this group is doomed to earth-shaking changes in the political situation of Huaguo, and these changes have also appeared with the emergence of the death/people/gang.
Many scholars who were previously suppressed by the Communist regime have been rehabilitated one after another. There are several relatives in the original family. Not only did they take off the top hat of the stinky old nine, they returned to their previous positions, and they were also compensated for all their salaries over the years.
What does it mean for these people to go back to school? It means that the country has to start rebuilding the education system!
Knowing this, undoubtedly made him feel excited.
Hearing Su Aobai's speculation, Wang Yuemin was very shocked. This was very similar to the result of his and his father's careful consideration of various policies in the past few years. The reason why he chose the education system was because both father and son felt that education was promising.
The young man in his twenties in front of him actually thought of this, and Wang Yuemin had to admire his political acumen.
"So this trip home to visit relatives, I rejected my mother's request to let me take over. First, I have to be responsible for my wife and children in the countryside. Second, it is also for my students and the sense of mission of the profession of teachers."
Hearing that Su Aobai gave up the chance to go back to the city, Wang Yuemin looked at him with more appreciation.
His impression of Su Aobai deepened a bit. After being magnanimous and visionary, he also has a little more love and responsibility. Only such a person is worthy of being a teacher.
"Do you think your guess is correct?"
Wang Yuemin spoke.
Su Aobai's answer was equally decisive, his handsome and upright face was full of confidence.
People in this era are very reserved in their emotional expressions, but they are extremely impassioned when expressing their ideals and expectations for the country. His attitude does not make people feel hypocritical or embarrassing.
"Good! Good! Good! A good word for the rise of China!"
Wang Yuemin couldn't restrain his excitement, stood up and applauded again and again!
Although he has some utilitarian ideas in devoting himself to education, why not report another purpose? He also wants to change the status quo of education and cultivate truly useful talents for the country.
This is the sentence, for the rise of China!
At this moment, the wisdom and sincerity of the young man in front of him had completely moved him, and he remembered this young man.
"Mr. Su, will you surprise the teachers and students in Fengyang County this time around?"
After finally calming down, Wang Yuemin spoke solemnly.
The implication is that he is willing to issue a document to let Hongqi Primary School take the unified examination, and make a formal invitation.
"Teachers and students of Hongqi Primary School, waiting for the day to hand in satisfactory answers."
Su Aobai's answer was equally confident.
Wang Yuemin has some doubts about this confidence, but in this unified examination, as long as the average level of Hongqi Primary School is not too far away from the penultimate, he is already satisfied.
After all, they have just started, so how much can they catch up? If they improve from the previous results, that is a breakthrough.
It’s just that Wang Yuemin still has a glimmer of hope in his heart, hoping that Hongqi Primary School will not be the last one. In this case, it may inspire other commune schools to make changes.
He felt that the young man in front of him might bring him a miracle.
He glanced at the letter of introduction from the corner of his eye.
Temporary teacher...
Such a talent is just a temporary teacher, it is too wasteful...
So don't let him down!
*****
"How about it?"
"How? What did the leader say?"
Su Aobai chatted with Director Wang for a long time. When he came out of the county and returned to the commune, school was over. Today Su Mingcheng went back with the children from the same brigade, but Su Aobai still took a detour and came to School.
At this time, the sky was already dark, and the lights in the school were still on. The old principal and most of the teachers did not leave. After seeing Su Aobai, a group of people looked at him nervously and apprehensively.
Su Aobai sullenly did not speak.
"Isn't it okay?"
The old principal frowned, "Blame me, blame me."
He blamed himself for not teaching the students well before, so that he got such poor grades in the exam, and then he held back his energy, and he wanted to wait for the children's grades to come up before taking the unified exam, lest the children's confidence be lost. Was hit and gone.
But he didn't think that other commune primary schools thought the same way. In the subsequent unified examinations, commune primary schools were not included at all, and everyone seemed to acquiesce to this setting.
Now it has become extremely difficult to take the exam with the schools in those towns again.
The old principal blamed himself very much. It is wrong to work behind closed doors. Even though he has confidence in the teachers for changing the teaching method, he doesn't know the gap between himself and the students in other schools, and he doesn't know the possibility of himself being admitted to a good middle school. Where is the learning motivation?
The other teachers were also sullen, with very confused expressions.
Under such circumstances, Su Aobai took out an official document with the official seal from his satchel.
"What's this?"
The old principal took it with a trembling hand, and his eyes became brighter and brighter.
The other teachers obviously also noticed the strangeness, and rushed to get close to the old principal to watch.
"This is the consent document for our school to take the unified examination!"
Wu Zhiyong is a middle-aged man who is almost forty years old. He jumped up and smiled like a child.
"Well, you idiot, you're still cheating, I'm almost scared to death by you!"
He patted Su Aobai's back heavily, then hugged him very excitedly, and patted his shoulders with his broad palms. The force of the next few times was not as strong as the previous one, and it was more like expressing his excitement. mood.
In fact, the Education Bureau did not explicitly stipulate that commune primary schools could not participate in the unified examination before, but with such a document, their qualifications were confirmed, and people's hearts were settled at once, and they were unprecedentedly certain about the future.
*****
Because of taking the unified examination, the learning atmosphere in the school is much more tense than before. For the first time after many years, some teachers are at a loss and a little apprehensive, worrying that the students' grades are not good enough.
Fortunately, some sample questions shared by Su Aobai gave them a little more confidence. As the old principal said, their goal this time is not to surpass other schools, but to surpass themselves, so that the parents in the commune can see that the commune School changes.
Soon, news spread that Hongqi Primary School would take part in the final exam, and Hongqi Commune and some surrounding communes all knew about it.
Regarding this matter, many people agree with it, but they disagree, and those who are not optimistic still account for the majority.
"It's not like I haven't participated in it before, let's see what results I got in the exam?"
Mrs. Yu has been very public in the team these days. It's not the end of the year, and she is holding melon seeds and peanuts every day to chat with a bunch of other wives and women in the team who have nothing to do.
"I heard that this incident was caused by the son-in-law of the old captain's family. The young man is impulsive and unreliable. I'm afraid it will embarrass the old captain."
Yu Pozi spat out the melon seed shell and said gloatingly.
"Who said it wasn't?"
Another slack-eyed woman deliberately held Yu Pozi, and followed suit.
"The girl from my natal team leader's family also teaches in elementary school. She said that those children's grades are not good at all. This time, our commune will become famous again in the unified examination, and the reputation is not very good."
"Your natal family is from the Shanggou Brigade, right? Is that the daughter of Captain Wang's family you are talking about? I remember that she is also teaching in elementary school. She is not young, and she hasn't made a marriage yet? Why, the family didn't give any advice. look at each other?"
"That's right, that's the one. Hey, the girl is a teacher, she has high eyesight, and she wants to pick one that suits her heart."
"That can't be chosen, how old are you?"
Several women got into the conversation, and while chatting, the topic suddenly turned to the Wang family's daughter who was not young but still had no date. Many people even talked about their unmarried young people, and wanted the woman to help them match up.
Yu Pozi was unhappy and the topic was diverted like this.
"Look at what other teachers have said. I think the son-in-law of the old captain's family is too vain. He actually used the face of our commune to make fun of it. When the results come out, our commune will lose face. You who send your children to primary school will also be ashamed." It's embarrassing, and after the Chinese New Year, relatives come to ask your child's score in the unified exam, what do you say?"
After leaving these words, Yu Pozi turned her buttocks and walked away.
There were also several families present with children who were studying in the commune primary school. Hearing what Mrs. Yu said, it seemed that this was indeed the case.
The parents who didn't take the unified examination seriously were anxious, and hurried home, ready to question the children in the family, what grades can they get back in this exam.
In this way, amidst many unfavorable attitudes, the unified examination once a semester came as scheduled.
