County No. 1 Middle School was poaching...oh, no, it was poaching talents. If he failed to do so, he was actually talked about by the leaders of other high schools for a while.
Fjord Town also became popular because of this.
However, except for the parents of a few students, they immediately decided to transfer schools and sent their children from middle schools in other towns to Fjord Town Middle School.
Most of them are still waiting and watching - waiting to see what results Fiordland Middle School will get in the unified examination at the end of the year.
Regarding the final exam, that is, the county-wide unified exam, Principal Chi discussed it with Xu Suizhu.
In the past, English teachers in the town came and went, and the subject of English was always at the bottom of the county. This year, Xu Suizhu came. Principal Chi hoped to save some face, so he asked Xu Suizhu if he wanted to teach the senior high school students.
Add one or two English classes a week or something.
Xu Suizhu thought for a while and decided to just add extra classes. The unified examination is not just about English. Teachers in other classes will have objections.
She took the time to get a few extra papers, and set aside two evening self-study periods every week specifically for English commentary.
How could the principal be unwilling? He wished that Xu Suizhu would assign more homework to the students, "Just treat it as overtime, and I will ask the Finance Department to record it in your salary."
As a result, Xu Suizhu became even busier.
In addition to preparing lessons for class, I also have to publish English weekly reports and review papers for senior high school students, and write English manuscripts.
The whole of November was as busy as a war.
But it is true that hard work will eventually pay off.
In the mid-term exam at the end of November, the average English score of the third graders increased by a full 12 points compared with previous years, from the warning line of 59 points to the good line of 71 points. It was like flying speed!
After Principal Chi learned the results, his grin didn't close for three days.
After that, at the school-wide teacher meeting, Xu Suizhu was commended by name.
Zhou Xiaolu curled her lips and muttered: "What's the point of being proud of getting a good score on the test you wrote yourself? If you have the ability, you can get a score of 70 or 80 on the unified exam. That's what you call awesome!"
"Didn't you write the papers yourself?" Lin Fen said angrily, "What's the average score? Oh, 62, tsk tsk tsk! The papers you wrote yourself can't even get a good grade. Can you pass the unified examination?
Oh, I’m so worried!”
"Lin Fen, you are sick! Did I tell you? What did you tell me to do!" Zhou Xiaolu was so angry that she wanted to have a fit on the spot, but because the leaders were all there, she had to curse a few times under her breath.
Lin Fen rolled her eyes: "Teacher Xu didn't say anything about you either. What did you say about her?"
"you!"
"snort!"
Lin Fen turned her head and stopped talking to her. She turned to communicate with Teacher Yu on the other side in a low voice: "I heard that Teacher Zhong's birthday is next Tuesday. If you have a dinner party, call me. I will bring the sauce duck made by my mother."
Teacher Yu pursed her lips and smiled and said in a low voice: "We won't have an office party this year. Teacher Xu lives close to the school, so we made an appointment to go to her place to have fun. It's okay to have a drink since we don't have classes in the afternoon. You can come along if you want.
But forget about the person named Zhou in your office. Last time, that person complained to the principal for wearing small shoes for Teacher Xu."
"She and I don't have a relationship, so I won't call anyone by her name." Lin Fen immediately answered.
As soon as the meeting ended, Teacher Yu told Xu Suizhu that there might be one or two more people at Teacher Zhong's birthday party. They were teachers from the senior group, but they all knew each other well and could get along with each other. No one would complain if they couldn't get along with each other.
Xu Suizhu naturally had no objection. She was just renting out a dining venue, and teachers Yu were responsible for the specific layout.
But she misses the seafood feast. How about taking advantage of Teacher Zhong’s birthday to catch some seafood to celebrate?
Furthermore, she was very busy in November. Except for a trip back at the beginning of the month, she has been working overtime at school since then.
So, after class this week, Xu Suizhu carried the little bun back to the fishing village.
Xu Xiuyuan couldn't help but smile happily when she saw her grandnephew: "Douduou is here? Come on! Let my aunt take a look. I haven't seen you for a while. Have you grown stronger? Why do you feel so thin?"
Xu Suizhu twitched her mouth: "You are still thin? No matter how strong you are, you will be too fat."
"Children should be fatter. I haven't seen the dolls in the New Year paintings. One is fatter than the other. It is happy to be fat. Who likes to see skinny ones? The famine has not passed yet..." Xu Xiuyuan glanced at her niece, "Why are you like this?
You won’t be back for a long time? Is the classroom teacher so busy too? I’m not the head teacher.”
Xu Suizhu held her aunt's arm and explained: "Our principal hopes to get good results in this year's unified examination, so why don't we assign tasks to me? I'll add a few more classes in the evening, and I'll have to give out papers and so on."
"You're free on Sunday, right? Come back for a meal. If you don't want to walk, just ask your brother to ride with you. If he doesn't, I'll kill him!"
"I was working on a manuscript at home on Sunday. Last time I went to the provincial capital for a competition. I met the editor-in-chief of a publishing house and made an appointment with me to write a few English manuscripts. The first issue will be published next month. I can't agree and then turn around and let others go.
Bar!"
Xu Xiuyuan didn't understand the magazine or the English manuscript, but she knew that it was business and it was a good thing to make money, so she stopped scolding her niece and hugged the little bun affectionately and started teasing her.
"Doudou is almost four months old, is it time to add some rice cereal, eggs, etc.?"
Xu Xiuyuan weighed the little guy in her arms. He had grown a lot taller, but the weight hadn't increased much, so he didn't look as fat as before. Fortunately, he was still fair and tender, otherwise he would have grabbed her niece's earlobe and scolded her.
"Boss Yu's grandson next door is half a year older than Doudou. He hasn't grown much. He took him to the county hospital for a check-up a few days ago. He was told that he was malnourished. He needs to add some complementary food after four or five months. Milk alone won't do the trick this time.
When you go back, I will grind some rice flour for you to take with you, and occasionally make a few meals of rice porridge to replenish Doudou."
In fact, adults don't have enough nutrition. These days, it's not like in later generations. The lactation period lasts four months, and fish soup and chicken soup are served every now and then. These days, even during confinement, I can't eat more than a few meals.
After confinement, I had to go to the field when not going to work, and my milk was thin and weak, causing my baby to become thin and skinny.
Otherwise, babies who drink breast milk must grow stronger. It is generally recommended to introduce complementary foods after half a year old. Xu Suizhu murmured in her heart.
He comforted her aunt: "Don't worry, aunt, last time I went to the provincial capital, I bought baby rice noodles, which are specially for children over four months old."
In addition, she also prepared the best complementary food - Senmuxing milk fruit.
"It's good to know, but I'm afraid that you are busy at work and make our baby hungry. Isn't it Doudou?" Xu Xiuyuan teased the little bun lovingly, "Your mother was busy, so she didn't eat on time and didn't feed you on time.
ah?"
The little guy kicked his calves vigorously: "Yeah!"
"Look, Doudou said yes!" Xu Xiuyuan raised her head and glared at her niece, "It's not okay to just let you do this. If you don't eat well, how are you going to breastfeed the little one? How about being a role model for a mother?"
Xu Suizhu couldn't laugh or cry, and pinched the tip of the little bun's nose: "Girl, how old is Doudou? You can talk to him whatever you want, whether it's babbling or babbling, and you still talk to him?"
"No! Doudou is the smartest one in our family! You will go to Kyoto to study in university in the future, right?"
"Ugh!"
Xu Suizhu: "..."
No more arguing with these grandparents.
He took the fishing rod and bucket and said, "Girl, watch Doudou while I go fishing for a while."
