"Mom, what happened to Zhou Changqing to make him look like this?"
Lanhua told Bai Su: "These days, I used the excuse that he ate our food and insisted that he teach me and Qingrou to learn. I actually know that he is not very willing and is trying to deal with me and Qingrou."
"Actually, if he doesn't want to teach us, I don't want to force him. I just don't let him think about bad things. Teaching us to do the questions can distract his energy."
"He doesn't want to tell what happened. It must be because he doesn't want to think about what happened."
Bai Su helped Zhou Changqing feed him the sobering soup: "Since he didn't say anything, he didn't get over that incident. Let's pretend not to know!"
Orchid feels strange.
Thinking carefully about it, Zhou Zhiqing, a gentle and good-looking man from the brigade health center, did not even notice him at that time.
Studying together these days, she felt the pain deep in Zhou Changqing's heart, and her eyes began to circle around this person.
Although this kind of Zhou Changqing attracted her attention, she extremely hoped that Zhou Changqing could return to the Zhou Changqing he was before, without pain, loving to read Soviet revolutionary novels, living a positive life, and full of hope in his heart.
Seeing the stubble on his face, Lu Lanhua boldly suggested: "Mom, let's shave his beard so that he can be alone and ruin himself like this."
Bai Su had already finished feeding the drunk Zhou Changqing a bowl of sobering soup. When he heard this, he looked at Lu Lanhua in surprise.
Although it was her idea to send meals to Zhou Changqing and let Zhou Changqing teach her and Zhao Qingrou high school textbooks.
But is Lanhua's concern for Zhou Changqing a little too much?
She, the second daughter, always takes an unconventional path. She used to fall in love with the peacock-like Sun Mingyuan, but now she is overly concerned about the decadent Zhou Changqing.
However, Zhou Changqing is a person who values affection and justice.
It is precisely because of the importance of love and justice that we are stuck in the pain of the past and cannot get out of it.
Knowing that Zhou Changqing would be admitted to the best university in the capital in two years, and knowing that Zhou Changqing was by no means a mere creature, Bai Su was happy to see this happen.
Zhou Changqing was originally her favorite son-in-law. Lanhua and Zhou Changqing could really develop.
After going round and round, Zhou Changqing came back, maybe this is Lu Lanhua's fate.
Bai Su tried hard to suppress her aunt's smile on her face, and told Lanhua: "Go and see if Brother He Yan is asleep? Lend him his shaving blade, and we can help Zhou Changqing shave his beard."
Zhou Changqing is really drunk!
The next morning, Bai Su went to work at the brigade clinic, but Zhou Changqing was still awake.
The double grab was approaching, the grass in the sweet potato field was almost gone, and there wasn't much work on the team recently, so Bai Su simply asked Lanhua to ask for leave for Zhou Changqing.
Lanhua won't go to work today. She has to go to the brigade primary school next door to take the substitute teacher's application exam. It's still early, so it's not too late to help Zhou Changqing take a leave.
Lanhua went to the brigade headquarters to ask for leave for Zhou Changqing, and saw two women coming to the health center.
One of them, Lanhua recognized, was the principal's wife who Zhou Hongbo brought to prescribe medicine last time.
"You heard me right, come here and let Dr. Bai take a look. We took the medicine prescribed by Dr. Bai. You haven't vomited these days and your appetite has improved. I heard that Dr. Bai's eldest daughter is very good at making clothes.
The clothes made with a sewing machine are the fashionable styles worn by city girls."
The principal's wife coaxed a fair-skinned girl: "I brought some cloth to make you two sets of clothes. If you don't come, how can you measure them?"
The girl who is fair and fair and has a slim figure is not very grateful.
"Mom, did you do this on purpose? The school is selecting substitute teachers, and you will send me to the Peace Brigade for medical treatment and clothes making."
The young wife curled her lips in dissatisfaction: "Just listen to Qiangzi and try to prevent me from working as a school teacher so that I can stay at home and raise my child."
"Let me tell you, if I can't keep my job at school, I will definitely feel unhappy. If I don't feel happy anymore, I don't know if the child in my belly can keep it."
Aunt Hua, the principal's wife, frowned after hearing this.
But he still patiently coaxed: "Your father said that the substitute teacher found for you should be selected from the educated youth, and he should choose someone with questionable composition. In this way, he can only be a temporary substitute teacher and cannot be transferred to a regular position until you give birth.
When the baby goes back after confinement, the teacher's job will still be yours."
"That's pretty much it. I have to pick one with questionable ingredients so my job can't be stolen."
In the past two days, Zhou Hongbo has been working in the fields and talking to Lanhua about school affairs.
With Zhou Hongbo teaching her, Lanhua felt that she was more certain to get this teacher's spot than other educated youths.
Zhou Hongbo even told him that the principal did not want his daughter-in-law to continue working because his daughter-in-law had had a miscarriage before and the child was gone halfway through the pregnancy. In her case, it was best to rest in bed.
So if Lanhua gets this substitute teacher position, if she works hard, she will be promoted to a full-time teacher soon and become a regular teacher at Qianjin Elementary School.
Zhou Hongbo's inference is correct. He cannot stand up to the fact that the devil is as tall as the Taoist.
The principal's daughter-in-law would threaten her with the baby in her belly to keep her job as a school teacher.
Since what they want is an educated youth, or an educated youth with questionable composition, then no matter how well she does in the exam, she will not be the one who can eventually become a substitute teacher.
Educated youth with composition problems?
Lu Lanhua had an idea and thought of Zhou Changqing who was sent back from the Workers', Peasants and Soldiers University.
She didn't even bother to go to the brigade clinic to ask for leave. When the principal's mother-in-law and her daughter-in-law entered the brigade clinic, she ran home.
When Zhou Changqing woke up early in the morning, he felt a chill on his face.
He walked out of the side room and bumped into He Yan chopping firewood in the yard.
He Yan saw that he was different from last night and raised his thumb: "Brother, you feel more energetic after shaving. That's right. You are still the same Zhou Changqing as before."
His beard was shaved off?
Zhou Changqing hurriedly lay down by the well, looking at the refreshing shadow reflected in the well, and was in a daze for a while.
"this?"
He asked He Yan: "Who shaved my beard?"
He Yan wanted to say it was Bai Su who shaved his head, but Lan Hua ran in from the gate.
"I, I shaved it."
"You can settle the matter with me later on about shaving your beard. I have something to ask you for help now."
Lanhua pushed the bicycle on the corridor in front of Zhou Changqing: "Quickly, take me to the school next door to take the exam. I can't make it in time."
Zhou Changqing heard from Zhao Qingrou that Lanhua was going to take the exam to be a primary school substitute teacher.
This is a rare opportunity!
As soon as Lan Hua said it was too late, Zhou Changqing immediately took the bicycle and got on it: "Come up quickly and I will take you there."
