Chapter 312 Private Substitute Teachers in Mountainous Areas 190
In Funiu Mountain District, the chance of heavy rains in October is very low, with only 7 rainstorms since meteorological records began. However, a rare flash flood in the past century made Chen Mufeng and his wife return to their hometown to hold a wedding. This flash flood caused damage to the village where they lived.
and two nearby villages were severely affected. Due to inconvenient transportation, when the local government, garrison, armed police and soldiers rushed to the scene for rescue, the tragic extent left by the flash flood made everyone who came here feel extremely shocked and sad.
Almost half of the entire village was destroyed. Scattered and damaged household items, messy broken tiles and ruins, debris left among the rubble, and livestock carcasses everywhere all showed how heavy a blow the sudden flash flood had dealt to the villagers.
This flash flood killed people in the other two villages, but miraculously, there were no casualties in the small mountain village closest to the flash flood point and the hardest hit.
The affected villagers gathered in the village central primary school that had been cleaned up to stay and rest. The primary school's auditorium became a temporary canteen, where the victims could eat free meals three times a day.
When the village head brought the heads of the local government and the garrison to the village primary school to visit Chen Mufeng, the great hero who selflessly saved people, he was helping the masters prepare meals in the auditorium with his newlywed wife Yao Xiaojing.
"Mufeng...this is Vice Mayor Zhao of City
"Hello...Hello..." He saluted with a military salute and shook hands with the two leaders.
"As soon as I arrived in the disaster area, I heard about your deeds of sacrificing yourself to save others. It is very touching and deserves our promotion!" "It doesn't matter if you are still healthy. I heard from Village Chief Hao that you hurt your leg?" Mayor Zhao looked at the young hero.
The major stood up and found that his leg was bandaged with a piece of gauze.
"It doesn't matter! Chief, it's just a scratch." He replied calmly.
Yao Xiaojing curled her lips and said nothing. She thought to herself that it was as simple as scratching the skin. She took him out of the water and thought that it would be fine after cleaning the sediment in his mouth, nose and throat. Who knows, the girl
Cao Lijuan noticed with sharp eyes that his leg was bleeding. When she opened it, she found that it was a very deep wound. It had been soaked in water for a long time, and the area around the wound had festered and turned white.
"I heard my subordinates come back and tell me that there was a very skilled major in a small village who single-handedly saved many people! Which army are you from?" the garrison chief asked him with interest.
"Reporting to the leader, my unit number is confidential!" The Cheetah Commando is affiliated to the C Military Region and is the ace special forces of the entire army. The information of the unit, including his personal situation, must be kept confidential.
The commander was stunned when he heard this, but he quickly read something different from the major's eyes. He held up his military cap and said with a smile: "I understand...you are good! You are doing the best for the whole army."
The officers and soldiers have all set an example!"
"This is my hometown, I just did what I should do!"
"Who is this?" The two leaders finally spotted Yao Xiaojing standing silently beside Chen Mufeng.
"This is Mu Feng's wife. She performed very well during the flood. Mayor... you see, those... and the children playing there are basically her and the private teachers who teach in the school.
Comrade Zhang Yuliang rescued them. Without them, the loss of lives in our village would have been huge..." The village chief couldn't help but feel scared when he thought of yesterday's horrific and dangerous flash flood scene.
"Oh? It turns out that there is a heroine behind the military hero... so... so good!" The mayor praised Yao Xiaojing several times and asked Yao Xiaojing very sincerely: "I wonder if the heroine has any requirements?
"
Everyone thought that Yao Xiaojing would follow the routine in movies and TV shows and say "no request". But she unexpectedly answered the mayor: "I really have something to ask you for help!"
"Oh... then tell me, as long as I can do whatever I can, I will definitely help you do it!"
"Keep what you say?!" Yao Xiaojing really can't believe the ability of local government officials to do things now.
"Of course!" The person here today is the mayor of a city, and words are still effective in this area.
Yao Xiaojing pointed to the old teacher who was clearing away the children's dishes in the corner of the cafeteria and said, "I would like to ask you to convert Zhang Yuliang's private teacher qualification into a formal one."
Seeing the leaders' surprise, she added: "Teacher Zhang is a private substitute teacher in a village primary school. He has been substitute teaching in rural primary schools since the 1970s. He does the same job as a public teacher, but he needs to
Teacher Zhang, who supports his family, only earns a pitiful 220 yuan per month. Even with such a low salary, he will also provide part of the subsidies to his children. He has won numerous awards and honors after working as a teacher for decades.
However, he is heavily in debt for generations or even more than ten generations of children. Not only that, I heard that not only will they not get their retirement salary after retirement, but they will also be retired according to the policy... Mayor Zhao, what do you think?
Is the situation reasonable?”
After hearing this, Mayor Zhao thought deeply. He looked at the old teacher in the canteen who was already stooped, but treated the students and children as kindly and warmly as his own children. He suddenly felt heavy... He thought for a long time, as if he had done something.
A very important decision, Yao Xiaojing said: "Substitute teachers are a social problem. They have devoted their good years to education in mountainous areas. Their work is the same as that of public teachers, but their treatment is very different because of their different status.
.This kind of unfair treatment is very sorry for them, and we can’t let them feel cold again! On behalf of the government, I express my position. Although I cannot change their status as you said, I promise to give them a fair treatment. I will not let them
These good teachers in the mountains left with hearts full of pain..."
Yao Xiaojing and Chen Mufeng looked at each other and felt a little comfort for Teacher Zhang...
"Mayor, please keep your word..." she asked fearlessly for the second time.
Mayor Zhao was amused by the perseverance of this beautiful dark-eyed girl. He smiled and nodded at her and said, "Why...you want me to give you a certificate!"
Chen Mufeng quickly waved his hand and interrupted: "No need... Chief!! We believe that you will definitely arrange a proper future for Mr. Zhang and other substitute teachers..."
