Chapter 408: Her mother-in-law is the best in the world!
Xiao Jingjing thought for a moment and said, "If we hire someone to take care of us, people will say we are just being pedantic. There is a breastfeeding class in the factory. We can give some gifts to the teachers there, and then I can take Xiao Jie there every day to learn how to take care of a child and kill time.
If I want to eat, I can just eat in the cafeteria so I don’t have to trouble my mom.
When mom comes back, we'll give her some more money and buy her and dad some clothes. You can see what else we need to prepare for her to take back."
Zhou Jiaguang: "These are enough. No wonder my mother always tells everyone that you are the best daughter-in-law in the world. You really deserve the title."
After hearing this, Xiao Jingjing became even happier. Her mother-in-law is the best in the world!
When Zhou's mother came home after buying groceries, Zhou Jiaguang told her that Xiao Jingjing was going to take Zhou Jie to the breastfeeding class.
"Mom, you've been exhausted recently. We can take care of the child ourselves. Go back to Zhoujiawan and have a good rest. We'll buy you some food tomorrow. The day after tomorrow morning, I'll take you to the 'Tuanjie' grocery store to catch the truck."
Seeing Xiao Jingjing playing with the child in the bedroom, Zhou's mother asked uncertainly, "Do you really want me to go home? Is it because I didn't do something well that you are dissatisfied with me?"
Zhou Jiaguang: "...Mom, don't let your imagination run wild. You are the best mother in the world. It is my blessing to be your son.
You have spent most of your life worrying about us siblings. Now that you are retired, you still have to help us take care of the children. I feel guilty.
Now is the time for you and dad to enjoy your life. We shouldn't let you work so hard. You should stay with dad in Zhoujiawan and have a good and leisurely life. We are all adults and can take care of ourselves. Don't worry about anything."
Mother Zhou smiled happily: "Which expert gave you advice?"
Zhou Jiaguang said with a smile: "There is no master, it's just that I have a change of heart."
Zhou's mother: "You are such a bad boy! From now on, the family will rely on you and Jingjing. It's very hard for her to take care of the children. You have to do more housework and be more diligent, understand?"
Zhou Jiaguang: "I know, I'll take care of all the housework!"
Mother Zhou: "Okay, write to me if you have any problem. While your father and I are still able to move around, we will help you if we can. If it's beyond our ability, don't blame us for being useless."
Zhou Jiaguang: "Mom, don't say such things. You and Dad have done enough for us. We will walk our own path in the future. You and Dad can enjoy your life in peace."
Mother Zhou: "Okay."
Xiao Jingjing prepared a lot of food and daily necessities for Zhou's mother and took them back to Zhoujiawan, and also gave her 200 yuan.
Zhou's mother didn't want to take the money, saying that she and Zhou's father had a pension, and there were not many expenses in the village, so the pension was enough.
Xiao Jingjing insisted on giving it: "Mom, this money is a little gift from Jiaguang and I. You must accept it. You have worked hard to take care of Xiaojie and me during this period. When Xiaojie grows up, I will bring her back to see you and dad."
Mother Zhou: "Okay, you guys live a good life in the city. If Jiaguang bullies you, just write to us and your father and I will teach him a lesson together."
Xiao Jingjing smiled and said, "Mom, Jiaguang is very good, he won't bully me."
Zhou's mother: "Don't trust men's words too much, look at their actual actions. Mom will always stand by you."
Xiao Jingjing was so moved when she heard this that she stuffed a few pieces of her dowry cloth into Zhou's mother's luggage...
On April 70, 4, my country successfully launched its first artificial satellite, the Dongfanghong-24 satellite. This opened a new era in my country's space history, making my country the fifth country in the world to independently develop and launch an artificial satellite after the Soviet Union, the United States, France, and Japan.......
In May, when Luo Dafen was working in the fields, she heard several well-informed aunts talking about a teacher at Shengli Brigade Primary School who was about to retire. Because the principal had misinterpreted an instruction from the leader during a meeting, he was taken away to write an explanation. The school affairs were temporarily taken over by the brigade leaders.
The brigade is preparing to ask the commune for permission to arrange for a new teacher to come.
The same night Luo Dafen heard the news, she went to find Zhou Chuanyi, stuffed him a red envelope of 20 yuan, and told him frankly that she wanted to be a teacher.
Zhou Chuanyi returned the red envelope to Luo Dafen and said, "How could you, little kid, make me commit a behavior violation?"
Luo Dafen said earnestly: "Captain, I really want to be a teacher, can you help me?"
Zhou Chuanyi whispered, "You and Nini are good friends. I treat you as my own junior. Let me tell you something from my heart. When you were a teacher, you were honored by your family. Now you are a teacher. If you are not careful, you will be taken to meetings. What's so good about this job? Is it worth it for you to give me gifts?!"
Luo Dafen: "Thank you, Captain, for treating me like a family member, but I really need a job to prove my ability.
I have a clean family background, so as long as I am careful during class, I won't be afraid of those kids making noise.
We have experienced many "battle" scenes in the city. Even if some brave kids want to cause trouble, I have ways to deal with them. Captain, don't worry."
Zhou Chuanyi: "I have tried everything I can to persuade you. Since you insist, I will report your name to the commune leaders tomorrow. If there is no problem with the commune, you can substitute for the teacher at the school. When the teacher officially retires, you will take over his class."
Luo Dafen: "Thank you, Captain!"
After returning home, Luo Dafen told Luo Xiaofen about his visit to Zhou Chuanyi.
Luo Xiaofen asked in confusion: "Sister, why do you want to be a teacher?"
Luo Dafen: "Nini mentioned something her mother said before, that your relationship with others does not depend on how good you are to them, but on whether you have bargaining chips in your hand to exchange with them.
I think this makes a lot of sense. If I want to find a man who will take the initiative to date me, have children with me, and be willing to let the child take my surname, I must have bargaining chips that others envy.
Teachers in the brigade primary school earn 21.5 yuan a month and don’t have to work in the fields. This job and income will make all the educated youths envious, and then naturally someone will approach me.”
Luo Xiaofen: "It sounds reasonable, but you and I have seen with our own eyes what kind of life the teachers in the city have. Aren't you afraid of being taken to a meeting?"
Luo Dafen: "The teachers who were targeted and taken to meetings were all stubborn and inflexible. The teachers who were smart and encouraged the young people to go out and cause trouble were all enjoying great success.
The current policies are not as strict as in previous years, and there are not as many people in the countryside as in the city who like to stir up trouble. I believe the situation will get better year by year. Get the job first, otherwise everyone will come to scramble for it when the situation gets better. "
Luo Xiaofen: "Since you have made up your mind, I will support you without hesitation. If you encounter any problems at school, come back and tell me immediately. We will face it together."
Luo Dafen: "Okay."
With the help of Zhou Chuanyi, Luo Dafen successfully got a spot as a substitute teacher.
As for the educated youth at the educated youth point, no one envied her at this moment, and some even laughed at her for "asking for trouble."
Luo Dafen did not argue with anyone. She dressed neatly every day, looking like an intellectual, in stark contrast to the female educated youth who looked listless from farm work or were covered in mud.
The male educated youths who watched this were moved...
