In the early morning of Sunday, Li Xiao got up at four o'clock as usual to practice boxing and Qi. Li Xiao knew that there is no such thing as a great master who spends his days surrounded by women and living a life of drinking and drinking as written in the novel. He must rely on constant review and training to maintain his strength! Although
Even if you don't train at Li Xiao's level, you won't lose the skills that have been written into your own instincts. But there are people outside the mountains, and if you don't practice, you may be eliminated soon!
Li Xiao is a motivated person who never believes that a pie will fall from the sky. Even if God is really merciful and the pie falls, you have to be able to catch it yourself, right?
Therefore, no matter how busy Li Xiao is, he will spare about two hours every day to review his skills, including internal and external skills, killing skills, firearms and knives, and many basic skills that can be trained intensively. Li Xiao will train intensively. As for some training that cannot be completed indoors,
Li Xiao will also go to intensive training every once in a while. In the past, whether on a mission or on vacation, Li Xiao would take time to train by himself. Of course, training at his level is no longer a torture, and most of the time can be regarded as a torment.
kind of enjoyment.
At six o'clock sharp, Li Xiao, who was sweating profusely but energetic, took a shower and put on the newly bought clothes. He felt excited about starting a new life. After breakfast, Li Xiao carried two large boxes to the station.
Let's take the train. There is no security check at a small station at the county or town level like this. At most, there are one or two security guards to maintain order during peak passenger traffic periods.
There were not many people today, so Li Xiao successfully bought the ticket. The buses here are all small minibuses with 18 seats. In more remote places, they are vans. The driver is a burly man, and he helps from the back of the car.
Passengers placed their luggage. Li Xiao's suitcase was too big, so it had to be placed in the trunk. Seeing that Li Xiao was carrying two large suitcases, the driver generously came over to help. Li Xiao put the suitcases containing clothes and sundries in first.
The driver came to help him carry the other one. It seemed that the young man was carrying it quite easily, and his face was not red and he was out of breath. Unexpectedly, when he had one hand with one hand, the box did not move at all. When he used two hands to exert force, the box still seemed to be long.
It didn't move at all like it was rooted to the ground.
The driver blushed and said to Li Xiao: "Young man, is there a lump of iron in your box? Why is it so heavy?" "It just recognized its owner, of course you can't control it anymore." Li Xiao joked, and then Li Xiao said
He lifted the box with one hand and put it in. The driver thought to himself: "It's strange, I'm obviously carrying a heavy weight, but why does this young man seem to be carrying it so lightly? I can lift more than two hundred kilograms! I believe you.
Damn it, the suitcase still belongs to its owner!"
After sitting in the car, the driver started chatting with Li Xiao: "Young man, I see you are not from our town. Are you going there to visit relatives?" In this kind of small town, everyone in the same place basically knows each other.
You can look familiar to people you know. Besides, Li Xiao doesn't look like a local, so the driver knows that he is not a local.
"I am a newly assigned teacher, and this is my first time in this place."
"Ah, you're a teacher, welcome! It's already October, and all the newly assigned teachers have been working for almost a month. Why are you here just now?" The driver should be a more approachable person.
"They are just being recruited. There are not enough new teachers, so those who are being recruited will be assigned to their posts." Li Xiao told a little lie.
"Teacher, what's your surname? Where do you live from?" The driver chatted with him while driving.
"My surname is Li, from Lanjing."
"So you're from a big city! It's so rare! I never thought you city people would come to our village to be teachers. Where did you graduate?" The driver was a little surprised when he heard that Li Xiao was from Lanjing.
.In fact, Li Xiao has no choice. The old Li family belongs to Lanjing. Li Xiao chose his son and the documents he obtained for Li Xiao were basically from Lanjing. It’s not that Li Yuanhu can only handle Lanjing’s local documents, but that he has already
Treating Li Xiao as a relative, it feels more intimate. In fact, he has already regarded Li Xiao as the person closest to him.
"Lanjing University." Li Xiao said lightly. Li Xiao usually makes people think that he is a very calm and gentle person. Li Xiao believes that only by being calm can one clearly understand the surrounding environment and analyze problems in detail.
.
"Ah! It's a famous university. Why did you think of coming to a poor place like ours to be a teacher? Did you get sent to teach?" In the driver's view, this young man must have been hanging around in school and had no skills to get to where they are.
I came here to be a teacher.
He felt that the teacher was far inferior to him, with little status and low economic income. He could earn more than 100,000 yuan a year by running a minibus, and with the small supermarket at home, his annual net income could not be higher.
It is more than 200,000 yuan, and as a teacher, the salary is a little more than 1,000 yuan a month, and the total income is about 20,000 yuan a year. There is a problem with food and clothing!
In the eyes of many people, teaching is the profession with the least "money prospects", and those who become teachers are the least capable. But they all ignore one point, who taught them sincerely when they were young.
"Haha, I'm not a volunteer teacher, I came here voluntarily to be a teacher." Li Xiao said with a smile.
"Oh, we are short of college students like you who serve poor areas. Such dedication is quite commendable!" The driver praised Li Xiao, but he was thinking in his heart: "Fuck you for lying to me. Go to higher places.
Would you come here to be a teacher if you couldn't make it? If you couldn't find a job in a good place, would you come here? You have a tough mouth and a hard shell, and you want to save face!"
"No more, it's just a personal hobby, not much of a dedication." Li Xiao felt from his expression and tone that the driver looked down on him, but everyone has his own outlook on life, no matter what he thinks!
"It's great to have the support of young people like you. I hope you can help educate a few college students in our town." Li Xiao sometimes couldn't quite understand the dialect the driver spoke, but the meaning was understandable.
"Why don't you have any college students here?" Li Xiao felt strange. How could a town with such a large population not have college students?
"No, the students are incompetent, and the teachers are also incompetent. There have never been any college students." Even though he said this, the driver seemed a little proud on his face.
Li Xiao felt very uncomfortable hearing this. After all, he was going to be a teacher, right? But it was hard to argue with him.
Seeing that Li Xiao didn't speak, the driver continued: "It's not that you're not a good teacher. You've never taught here before! It's not that you." The driver thought in his heart: "A little teacher really takes himself seriously.
.”
"Problems in education are caused by many factors, not just teachers. After all, education cannot be improved by teachers alone." Li Xiao had a hunch that the status of teachers here must not be very good.
"Ah, I don't understand what you are saying. If education doesn't rely on teachers, who else can we rely on? Does it rely on ordinary people like us? How can we understand education if we haven't read for a few days." The driver thought to himself: "Teaching by teaching.
If you’re not good, you’ll make excuses! What’s the use of studying now! Teachers like you are usually very good at studying, but in the end they don’t receive a salary of more than a thousand points a month!”
"The development of education is related to teachers, society, policy, economy and many other factors, and students' education is also closely related to their families." Li Xiao explained patiently, treating it as literacy.
"Haha, you college students are all intellectuals, and we don't quite understand what you say." The driver didn't bother to listen, so he simply pushed him away. "Anyway, you are welcome to come here to be teachers."
Li Xiao didn't speak, just looked at the scenery outside the window.
Not long after, the car arrived at the town. The topography of the buildings in this town is slightly different from the distribution of buildings in most mountainous areas. In mountainous areas, most towns will choose a relatively flat dam as a settlement, and most of them are located near the mountains.
Only some ethnic minorities like to live in the middle of the mountain.
This town is located on a hill that is not very high, with only two main streets running across it. The highest point of the hill is where the two streets intersect. The driver stopped the car at the intersection and said to Li Xiao: "Here
It’s called Cross Street, and you can walk straight from here to the school.”
Li Xiao carried his suitcase and went to the school to register. He could clearly see the terrain here while sitting in the car. The school was relatively obvious, so he walked to the school in a few minutes.
The school gate is made of tin. There is a lush bougainvillea tree growing beside the gate. Two yellowed school signs hang on the left: Yunshan County Xizhao Town Central School and Yunshan County No. 10 Middle School.
When Li Xiao walked into the school, he first saw a teaching hope building built with the aid of Shangjiang City. It should have been newly built not long ago.
Then I saw the school garden - it shouldn't be called a garden, because there were only a few wild flowers blooming sporadically in it, and most of the place was trampled bare. There were two street lamps in the middle of the garden, but only the poles were left, and the lamps had been trampled.
It was broken for a long time.
Looking around, Li Xiao, who had been mentally prepared for the worst, was still a little disappointed. The school was filled with a dull and depressing atmosphere. Some places didn't look like a school, but like an abandoned warehouse.
Li Xiao reported to the office, and a deputy director named Zhang received him warmly. He offered cigarettes and poured water on the ground, which made Li Xiao a little embarrassed. Li Xiao didn't know that he was directly assigned by the Education Bureau.
From the perspective of other teachers, such teachers all have backgrounds, especially those who are assigned after normal classes. They usually have very strong relationships, so many people will more or less get along with colleagues who have strong backgrounds.
Recently, because many of these people with backgrounds will be leaders in the future, they usually burn incense and only help when they are in trouble!
After the greetings, Deputy Director Zhang asked Li Xiao: "Xiao Li, you are a proud graduate of a prestigious university. We are honored that you come to work here. What classes do you like to take?" If it were an ordinary teacher, it doesn't matter what you like.
Classes? They are whatever they are assigned. Do you have a choice? "If you don't like classes, do you want to work in the office?" This was given by the boss in advance, and this deputy director is just trying to sell me a favor.
Li Xiao thinks this sentence is super powerful: Do teachers still like and dislike classes? Why do you want to be a teacher if you don’t like classes? In Deputy Director Zhang’s opinion, sitting in an office is a good thing. If you have something to do, you can do it if you don’t have anything to do.
It’s so relaxing to watch movies and play games. The leader will usually take him with him when he’s receiving receptions. Li Xiao smiled and said, “Thank you, director, for your kindness. I’ll take it if there’s a teacher shortage in any subject.”
Deputy Director Zhang was not surprised: Maybe people don’t want to start working in the office, but there are still such teachers. He said: "Your major is foreign languages, but there are enough teachers to teach English. How about you start this semester?"
Sixth grade math?”
In fact, he had wanted to take this position for a long time, because a teacher resigned last week, so the mathematics of that class is now part-time by another teacher, but he did not dare to tell Li Xiao directly. In the previous conversation, Li Xiao also learned that,
This school actually combines elementary school, junior high school and high school, with only one principal.
So Li Xiao didn't feel any discomfort when he was assigned to attend elementary school courses. It was pretty good to go to elementary school, Li Xiao thought. Then Deputy Director Zhang told him to attend the weekly political study on time at 7 p.m. every day.
The flag-raising ceremony was held at 7 o'clock on Monday morning. Because someone from above had said hello, Li Xiao was assigned to a dormitory. After receiving his teaching books and other materials, he went straight to the dormitory to take care of things.
