Fortunately, the principal has repeatedly opened the door to convenience for her - there is no need to sit in the office when there is no class, she can go to the county library or bookstore to find information if she has informed her in advance.
Xu Suizhu was overjoyed. She had long wanted to visit the county town, but unfortunately she never had time.
Now that she had the principal's instructions, in the afternoon when there was no class, she entrusted the little buns to Zhou Lihua and got on the minibus to the county without eating lunch.
After driving back and forth for nearly an hour, we finally arrived at Yupu County.
Xu Suizhu supported her dizzy head and got out of the car, and massaged her temples for a while. Fortunately, she didn't have lunch, otherwise she might have vomited all her body.
When the symptoms of motion sickness subside, I feel hungry.
Xu Suizhu found a relatively clean snack bar, spent 50 cents and ordered shrimp skin noodles with scallion oil, and ate her fill with a bowl of free noodle soup.
After leaving the snack bar, I walked around the street first, and found that it was more lively than in the town. The types of supplies were still very limited. Besides, I didn’t have much money in my pocket, so it was boring to just shop without buying. I simply went to the county library.
Museum.
However, the stock of foreign language books in the county library in the 1980s was not as large as that in the study room of her previous life.
Xu Suizhu flipped through a few books at random, but the contents were very old. I was wondering if I should get a library card. I didn't need it. It would be good to borrow some books to expand extracurricular knowledge for students.
"I just said, this guy is so rustic, he doesn't seem to know English at all. He is illiterate and thinks that the library is like a department store. He just walks in and browses."
"That's because you think everyone is like us, looking for information for students."
Behind the pillar, two young women saw Xu Suizhu flipping through the book casually, with expressions of disdain in their voices.
Xu Suizhu followed the sound and met the disdainful eyes of the two people, feeling funny in his heart.
It’s true that in every era there are people who judge people by their appearance!
In her previous life, she was appointed as the business manager of the Asian region at a young age. She also encountered similar situations when she attended some important cocktail parties. She doubted her ability and suspected that she took this position because of her beauty rather than her intelligence.
People are always jealous of their peers who are similar in age but better than them.
If she had been in her forties or fifties when she took the position of head of Asia business, I believe the world would view her in a completely different light.
Thinking of this, Xu Suizhu couldn't help but chuckle.
"Why are you laughing! Don't you know the library can't be noisy? Country bumpkin!"
One of the young women thought Xu Suizhu was laughing at her and scolded her angrily.
Even if the other person doesn't look like a country bumpkin at all, on the contrary, he is much better than them in terms of appearance and temperament, especially his skin like watery hibiscus, which makes people crazy with jealousy.
If they hadn't heard Xu Suizhu ask the librarian if the villagers in Fjord Town could apply for a library card, anyone would have thought that she was an authentic city dweller. Knowing that she was not, they would have dared to ridicule her so casually.
Xu Suizhu raised her eyebrows slightly and responded with a warm voice: "You are so loud, aren't you making a noise?"
"you!"
"Forget it, Teacher Ni, ignore irrelevant people. Let's go back after finding the information. The students are still waiting for us. I hope that the students in our class can make it to the finals of this speech contest. Not only will we be proud and proud, but we can also follow
They will go to the province for a few days and there is hope for evaluation of professional titles..."
When the other woman saw the administrator looking over at her, she pulled her companion, and the two left the foreign books and periodicals borrowing area, mumbling.
Xu Suizhu rubbed her chin: Speech contest? In English? It doesn’t sound like it’s held on campus.
After thinking for a while, she followed the two women out of the library.
It wasn't until they arrived at the gate of County No. 1 Middle School that Xu Suizhu got close to the guard and learned that the two women just now were English teachers at County No. 1 Middle School.
Xu Suizhu twitched the corner of his mouth, feeling a little anxious for the County No. 1 Middle School. He hoped that these two guys were not the frontmen of the County No. 1 Middle School, otherwise they would be too downgraded to the County No. 1 Middle School.
But even if it was, it was none of her business. She turned around and went to the Education Bureau, identified herself, and inquired about the speech contest.
These days, the county education bureau must be aware of competitions between schools, especially those at the provincial level.
When Xu Suizhu inquired about it, he found out that there was indeed a person in charge of this matter in the Education Bureau.
"Oh, you are an English teacher in Fjord Town? Are you here to register your students for the English speech contest? Yes, you can, but why did your school sign up now? This is about to start. Don't you just decide to participate on the spur of the moment?
"Are you sure?" Don't apply, it will be in vain. The clerk in charge of registration said something in his heart.
Xu Suizhu showed her elite smile at the negotiation table in her previous life: "Thank you for your concern. I didn't apply at the beginning because I was afraid that the students would not have the strength and it would be a waste of county resources. But after this period of preparation, I found that the students in our school are still
Those with a bit of potential came to sign up in a hurry, hoping to give them a chance to serve their hometown, strive to reach the finals, and bring honor to our county!"
"So that's it, then you are really a responsible and good teacher! You really have to prepare well. This competition is organized by the provincial department. The province will definitely send people over to have a look. You can't do it casually. You are right.
, It would be great if every school was like yours..." The clerk praised her for free and scolded her, "It's not like some schools. It doesn't matter whether it has the strength or not, just apply for it and then talk about it. That's it.
If you don’t prepare well, you will be eliminated on the field, which will bring shame to our county..."
It seems that many schools have signed up to participate in the first English speech contest for middle school students organized by the Provincial Department of Education. Then why didn’t the town sign up?
Xu Suizhu couldn't figure it out, so she went back to school with questions to find Principal Chi to clarify her doubts.
"Oh, you're talking about that," Principal Chi said, "I do know, but our school's English level is not good. Before you came, you couldn't even attend class properly. There was no teacher to lead the class. Even if we let other teachers
If you lead a team to participate, you will be at the bottom, so you won’t lose face... Huh? Teacher Xu, where did you hear about this?"
Xu Suizhu glanced deeply at the principal and said quietly: "I heard it in the county, principal, I have already signed up for our school. Next, I hope you will give me your absolute support and I will bring out a final team.
!”
If you don’t slap the faces of the two female teachers from No. 1 Middle School in the county and give them God’s perspective eyes, her surname will not be Xu!
Of course, the more important reason is to give students a chance, an opportunity to increase their self-confidence.
Principal Chi was stunned for a moment after hearing what she said. After a while, he realized what Xu Suizhu meant and clapped ecstatically: "Okay, okay! Teacher Xu, just go ahead and do it, I support you! The school supports you! Full support!"
Definitely support it!”
It’s such a great opportunity to build a brand in the town, and anyone who doesn’t support it would be a fool!
