At the beginning of the first lunar month, Li Huai celebrated his birthday.
Zhao Qinglan did not forget his birthday this time. Not only did he make him a birthday cake to celebrate, but he also gave him a carefully prepared birthday gift.
Since his mother passed away, Li Huai has never celebrated his birthday properly.
Now that I am being taken so seriously by others, I am almost moved to tears.
He found that since he met his wife Zhao Qinglan, he sometimes became very sentimental.
After sending Wei Hong and Sun Wen away, Dawa Xiaoduo and the others also started school.
When Da Wa and the others came back on the first day of school, Da Wa informed Zhao Qinglan of some news.
"Mom, Principal Wei asked you to go to the school to find him tomorrow."
"Your health principal is looking for me? Why?" Zhao Qinglan looked confused.
Da Wa touched his head. "I don't know either."
Looking at the eldest child and then at the daughter, Zhao Qinglan asked doubtfully: "Isn't it the two of you who got into some trouble?"
Da Wa and Xiao Duo shook their heads quickly.
If you weren't causing trouble, why were you looking for her?
Zhao Qinglan also discussed this issue with her husband.
"You can't figure it out all night. You'll find out when you meet with Principal Wei tomorrow." Li Huai really didn't want to waste this good time discussing this kind of thing.
Seeing that his wife finally calmed down, he immediately pinned her down.
The next day, after breakfast, I asked sister-in-law Wu Mei to look after the three children for a while, and then Zhao Qinglan walked to the army primary school with her son and daughter.
Children in the family area walk to school on their own without parents to send them to school, so many children are envious when they see Zhao Qinglan following Dawa Xiaoduo.
Da Wa and Xiao Duo also felt very happy and proud.
After arriving at school and seeing Da Wa and Xiao Duo entering their classrooms, Zhao Qinglan went to the principal's office.
Principal Wei is a very hard-working person. Although he does not teach on behalf of students, he is already in the office at this moment.
The weather was still a bit cold at the moment, and the office door was closed. As soon as Zhao Qinglan knocked on the door, she heard a response from inside.
Seeing her coming in, Principal Wei immediately stood up with a smile.
"Comrade Qinglan is here, sit down quickly."
After saying that, he picked up a teapot and walked to the thermos to pour water.
When the teapot was placed in front of Zhao Qinglan, he was under the table opposite.
"Principal Wei, did you ask me to come over?"
"Comrade Qinglan, do you want to be a teacher?"
"Me?" Zhao Qinglan pointed at herself in disbelief.
"Yes, that's you."
"I, how can I do it? I haven't even gone to school." The teachers in the military primary school all graduated from high school or technical secondary school. She didn't even have a primary school diploma.
Principal Wei laughed.
"Although you never went to school, you were able to get into college. This is already better than many people."
This is true, and Zhao Qinglan is also proud of it.
However, she still had doubts about whether she should be a teacher or not.
Mainly because she was completely unprepared.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Principal Wei added, "If you have any concerns in your heart, you can tell them."
"Principal Wei, I am very grateful for your appreciation, but I have never thought about becoming a teacher. Also, my fourth child is still young and cannot live without me."
"Indeed, your situation is quite special, but what you said is not a big problem. I haven't thought about it, why don't you start thinking about it now? I think you taught Li Yansen and Li Xiaoduo very well."
"And the fact that your fourth child is still young, we don't have teachers who come to class just after giving birth and the baby is still young. You can ask others to help take care of the baby. Even the teachers in the office who don't have class can help you."
Seeing that Principal Wei's attitude was so sincere, Zhao Qinglan had no choice but to refuse directly.
But she still raised one last question.
"But I don't have any diploma, am I really qualified to be a teacher?"
"Comrade Qinglan can demote talents in any way. Comrade Qinglan, this is considered a special situation. I will explain it to the district."
"Can you let me think about it for a few more days?"
"Of course, this is not a trivial matter. You should go back and communicate with your family members."
Only then did Zhao Qinglan go back a little erratically.
Wu Mei was also curious about what Principal Wei wanted to do with her, so she asked as soon as she went to pick up Sanwa.
"Principal Wei asked me if I would like to be a teacher in a military primary school."
"This is a good thing." Wu Mei laughed.
"Sister-in-law, I have never taught students before, so I don't know what to do. There is also a third child. Look at him, he is only a little bit old."
"Aren't you teaching the eldest child very well at home? You haven't taught the students before, right?" Wu Mei looked at the little guy on the side.
"Mom, you are amazing." Erwa immediately praised her.
"As for Sanwa, why don't you leave him here with me during class and I'll keep an eye on him for you."
"Sister-in-law, this is too troublesome for you."
"It's not troublesome. Sanba is so good. I'm bored at home alone."
Wu Mei was so supportive, and Zhao Qinglan felt a little relaxed.
She told her husband about it when he came back from get off work.
"Qinglan, if you want to go, you can go. If you don't want to go, you can stay at home. I support you."
In his opinion, his wife's thoughts are the most important.
He already felt very sorry for her when she was admitted to college but couldn't go to college. If she wanted to work as a teacher nearby, he felt that he had no objection at all.
She doesn't have any strong ambitions, but being a teacher in a military primary school is indeed somewhat attractive to her.
Not to mention how much you earn, at least it is a legitimate job, mainly close to home, and you can also take care of the children.
The most important thing is the recognition and meaning this job represents to her.
If the work is not too tiring, she doesn't think it's impossible, after all, everyone is so supportive of her.
Once she has thought clearly, she makes decisions very quickly.
Then do it!
In just one day, she sat in front of Principal Wei again.
"Principal Wei, I would like to be a teacher, as long as my classes don't have to be too many."
After Wei Hong left, the army primary school had one more teacher than before.
Although another person was added, his ability was not very good. In addition, Wei Hong was admitted to college, which made some teachers in the school want to review for the college entrance examination.
Principal Wei is afraid that if so many students are taken away in the future, there will be an even greater shortage of teachers here.
No, he is eyeing Zhao Qinglan.
As for arranging fewer classes, Principal Wei can agree to that.
As a result, Zhao Qinglan and Principal Wei reached a consensus that she would formally go through the formalities to come to the school as a substitute teacher the next week.
When they found out that their mother was coming to their school to be a teacher, Da Wa and Xiao Duo were very excited. They didn't feel at all uncomfortable about my mother coming to my school.
Zhao Qinglan suddenly had to go to work as a teacher, so naturally Zhao Qinglan had to tell her mother.
Fortunately, Mrs. Sun's two daughters have now developed the habit of calling Zhao Qinglan every once in a while.
Knowing that she was going to be a teacher in a military primary school, Mrs. Sun was also happy and proud.
Thinking that her grandson might not have anyone to take care of her, Ms. Sun had to leave her business in the store to take care of her child.
In fact, it was Mr. Sun who discovered that the store was running well even before he was absent.
The eldest daughter does not have a mother-in-law to help her. If her mother does not help her daughter when she needs it, how can it be justified?
In fact, Zhao Qinglan had long wished that her mother could stop working so hard and take a break.
It's just that Mrs. Sun herself couldn't let go of making money in the past, so she had no choice.
Now her mother is willing to put down her work in the store and come over to help her take care of the children, which is what she wishes for.
After all, no matter how good my relationship with Sister-in-law Wu Mei is, they are just neighbors and friends. They just help take care of the children occasionally, and I feel bad about taking care of her every day.
Ever since, one of Zhao Qinglan's most worrying problems was solved.
When her mother came over, Zhao Qinglan also sorted out her mood and devoted herself to a new career with a full spirit.
Nowadays, she likes to be comfortable and stable, but if she encounters an opportunity and works hard, it will not give her a sense of accomplishment, right?
