The school teachers gathered at the station at 7:30. When Jiang Xinyu arrived, everyone was almost here.
What surprised her was that Song Guifang had her hair down today, her eyes were purple and swollen, and there were some marks on her chin.
As if aware of her gaze, she turned sideways to avoid it and lowered her head slightly.
Teacher Xiao Lin came to Jiang Xinyu and asked, "Why did you bring so many things?"
Jiang Xinyu told him about carrying something to see He Yong.
After getting on the bus, Jiang Xinyu carried her things and sat on the window seat, putting all her things at her feet. Next to her was the female teacher Zhong Ying.
The shuttle bus is a big bus and can seat many people. At this time, the teachers and cadres of the commune were all full.
The teachers in the car were all talking, laughing and whispering in low voices. When Jiang Xinyu fell asleep against the window, Zhong Ying asked in her ear: "Do you know what's going on with Teacher Song?"
Jiang Xinyu was quite curious, but she didn't want to gossip about Song Guifang. The two of them shared a dormitory and could get along well.
She shook her head and lowered her voice and said, "This is the first time I've seen her like this."
Her first reaction when she saw her today was that Song Guifang and her man had violent tendencies, and that Teacher Song had been domestically abused.
Song Guifang sat at the back of the car with her head lowered, several rows away from the two of them.
Teacher Xiao Lin, who was sitting behind the two of them, heard the two talking and quietly leaned forward and said quietly in a breathy voice: "The man beats her when she's drunk and says she can't give birth to a son. You two came to school."
Later, his man came to school to beat someone before, and Sister Song had a miscarriage. After the miscarriage, she never got pregnant again."
Jiang Xinyu and Zhong Ying's eyes widened in disbelief.
Zhong Ying entered the school in October last year, Jiang Xinyu entered this year, and Song Guifang has been working in the school for several years.
Neither Zhong Ying nor Jiang Xinyu knew about Song Guifang's family affairs.
Jiang Xinyu met Song Guifang twice, once in the school dormitory and once at his home. He seemed quite normal and spoke well. He did not look like a violent maniac who would beat his wife. Unexpectedly, he
It looks like this below.
Teacher Xiao Lin shook his head and said, "I haven't seen Sister Song with injuries on her face for more than a year. I thought her man had improved, but I didn't expect it to happen again."
Zhong Ying's husband Wu Jian, who was sitting next to Teacher Xiao Lin, shook his head and said: "Her husband and her husband's family both want a son, and she can't have a son. It will probably be difficult in the future."
Zhong Ying looked at Wu Jian, "Why didn't you tell me this before?"
Wu Jian paused, then curled his lips and said, "You women gossip every day, what's there to say?"
Zhong Ying refused, "Then don't come over and say it!"
The group of people chatted and the shuttle bus quickly arrived at the county and stopped outside the gate of the county high school.
There was a gatekeeper at the county school. Jiang Xinyu put her things with the gatekeeper, took her notebook and pen and went to the large classroom of the county high school with the teachers.
Today, not only teachers from the middle and high schools of Hongqi Commune came, but also teachers from other communes. The classroom was full, and there were quite a lot of people.
Although the situation has not been stable in recent years, the ideological reform of teachers and the education to improve teachers' ideological and political awareness have not stopped.
Jiang Xinyu didn't know the situation of teachers in the county and city. Anyway, teachers in the commune received further training during the winter and summer vacations to complete the task requirements of "strengthening teacher rotation training and on-the-job learning", and sometimes they had to work, such as digging canals.
This time, we all have to come to the county to study for two days in a row. We come in the morning and go back in the afternoon. Then we have a farm break and celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Only when I became a teacher did I realize that there were so many things to do, and I might as well work as a waiter in a state-owned hotel.
Jiang Xinyu looked around calmly. Everyone listened attentively and took a pen to write down important contents in a notebook from time to time.
Finally, at noon, the teachers went to the cafeteria to eat.
The rice is white flour steamed buns with Chinese cabbage and pickled mustard. The taste is average, that is, the more the steamed buns are chewed, the more fragrant and sweet they become.
After finishing the meal, there was still an hour and a half left, so Jiang Xinyu carried her things to the courtyard of the machinery factory.
The other teachers also went shopping in the county together and took advantage of today to buy something to take back.
Miao Yue, He Yong, and their family are having a meal right now. Her second son He Pengfei, who has been working on the train all year round, has gone home. Today's meal is meat and vegetables from the factory. Miao Yue also fried a chicken to entertain He Pengfei's partner.
.
When Jiang Xinyu knocked on the door, there was a bustle of food inside.
Seeing that it was her who came to the door with something, Miao Yue stood up and greeted her: "Xiao Jiang is here, have you eaten? We happen to be having dinner at home, come and have some together."
Jiang Xinyu asked someone to say hello and handed the things to her, "I'm coming to the county to study today. My mother knew I was coming, so she asked me to bring you some things, and take a look at how Uncle He's leg is recovering.
.”
"Study? What are you studying? Haven't you graduated from high school?"
Jiang Xinyu said with a smile: "I am now a teacher in a commune junior high school. The superiors organized teachers to study in the county."
He Yong smiled. He might have drank some wine. His dark face was red, and he seemed to be in good spirits. He said in a loud voice, "It's good to be a teacher. My legs are no longer in the way, although I have a little problem."
, but it doesn’t affect anything.”
Miao Yue pulled Jiang Xinyu into the house and said, "Come as soon as you come. Do you have anything else to bring?"
Jiang Xinyu took the orange candy handed over by He Shanshan and said with a smile: "The things I brought are not worth much. The red dates and cabbage are from my own family, the yam is from my brother-in-law's commune, and the chestnut cake is from my family."
It's not worth it if you do it yourself. As long as Uncle He is in good health."
Miao Yue went into the house again to bring some fruit to Jiang Xinyu.
People were eating, and Jiang Xinyu didn't want to stay too long. Miao Yue kept urging her to eat more, even adding chopsticks and bowls. Jiang Xinyu simply stood up: "I really ate at school, and I have to go to school in the afternoon to continue the meeting. I'll take advantage of this opportunity."
Now that I have time, I have to go to the department store to buy some things, so I won’t delay your meal."
Miao Yue sent her downstairs to Tongzi, patted her hand and whispered, "Go back and ask Xiao Chen for me. Someone in our factory wants a second-hand radio. Ask him if they have any in stock now."
"Come and play again when you have time, but don't bring anything else up. Next time you come, you must have dinner at my aunt's house."
The He family was really very enthusiastic, and Jiang Xinyu couldn't stand it anymore.
When Miao Yue returned home, the little baby at home had quickly opened the chestnut cake and was eating it.
"Xiao Jiang said that this chestnut cake was made by her family. It tastes sweet and the pattern is beautiful. It is no worse than the ones in the factory." He Zhi's wife said.
He Yong used to be a truck driver and earned a lot of extra money. Now he is a factory gatekeeper. The goods in other cities have been temporarily cut off, and his income is much less than before. Looking at the chestnut cake Jiang Xinyu sent him, his
