Chapter 283 Teacher Quotas
Chapter 283 Teacher Quotas
The villagers didn't need to do anything deliberately to dislike the educated youth.
The first thought that comes to mind when thinking about these educated youth is that they are a group of people who would betray their own people at any time in order to shirk work and for personal gain.
This is not!
The village was recruiting a primary school teacher this year. Before the village head, Zhao Zhongcai, had personally confirmed this news, it was already circulating. Within two days, news of this incident spread throughout the educated youth settlement.
"Yuanbo, is Yuanbo there?"
On a quiet afternoon, Lu Yuanqing, who was taking a nap, was awakened by this sudden, urgent call.
It was Zhao Zhongcai's voice.
Lu Yuanqing's still somewhat drowsy mind suddenly became completely clear.
"what happened?"
As Lu Yuanqing spoke, he quickly got up and went out.
"I don't know, it was the captain calling for Fourth Uncle." Lu Mingnan also heard the voice and came out of his room.
Lu Yuanqing walked straight out.
Lu Yuanbo's house was right next to theirs.
When I was planning to build the house, I specifically chose two adjacent plots of land for the foundation.
As soon as Lu Yuanqing stepped out, he saw Zhao Zhongcai anxiously pulling Lu Yuanbo away, muttering something under his breath. His face showed both anxiety and anger.
"What's wrong?" Lu Yuanqing asked curiously.
Upon seeing him, Zhao Zhongcai didn't hide anything and said in a bad tone, "What else could it be? It's those educated youth causing trouble. They're always making a fuss, never giving us a moment's peace..."
Lu Yuanqing: "...So why are you looking for Yuanbo!"
He ranted for ages without getting to the point; he hadn't gotten any crucial information.
Lu Yuanbo, however, put it more directly: "He said that a young educated youth had fainted, and the brigade leader was anxious and asked me to drive the tractor to take him to the hospital!"
This is a matter of life and death.
Lu Yuanqing was now wide awake!
No one went home idly; they followed Zhao Zhongcai and Lu Yuanbo, rushing hurriedly towards the educated youth settlement.
The educated youth settlement was already bustling with activity.
At this moment, they couldn't care about anything else. Upon seeing the educated youth lying unconscious on the ground, Lu Yuanqing and the others hurriedly took him to the health center for emergency treatment.
"It was an allergic reaction. Luckily, he was brought in for an emergency, and he's out of danger now. He's still on an IV drip, and he should wake up soon after it's finished!"
Only after receiving a definitive answer from the doctor did Lu Yuanqing and the others who brought the patient breathe a sigh of relief.
Seeing Zhao Zhongcai, who had been cursing non-stop from the beginning until the person was rushed in for emergency treatment and was found to be alright, Lu Yuanqing suddenly burst out laughing.
"You still have the mood to laugh? I'm about to be driven crazy by this group of educated youth!" Zhao Zhongcai glared at Lu Yuanqing with annoyance.
Lu Yuanqing touched his nose guiltily and explained, "I was just happy to see that you still look so energetic, Uncle Zhao!"
How many more days can I hold onto my position as battalion commander?
Zhao Zhongcai was a shrewd man. After spending so many years with Lu Yuanqing, he naturally gleaned something else from his words. In response, he glared at him again and said, "You're hopeless!"
Yes!
He's just a spineless coward!
Lu Yuanqing chuckled foolishly and readily admitted it.
Seeing his helpless expression, Zhao Zhongcai almost choked on his breath, pointed at him with his finger, and couldn't even speak.
Lu Yuanqing was startled by the sight, fearing that he might upset Zhao Zhongcai. After all, Zhao Zhongcai was getting older, and he had worried too much about Shihua Village, which made him look old.
"Uncle Zhao, please don't be angry! I was wrong!"
He admitted his mistake very quickly.
Zhao Zhongcai, however, seemed to see right through him and snorted in annoyance, "Quickly admits his mistake, but never repents."
He understands things quite well.
Lu Yuanqing felt utterly wronged! He was completely innocent!
What does it mean to be completely unrepentant?! He said he was wrong, but he didn't think he was wrong at all!
"Uncle Zhao, my ambitions lie elsewhere, you can't make things difficult for me!" Lu Yuanqing said with a grin.
Speaking of this, Zhao Zhongcai sighed subconsciously, "Why? The commune has no objection, and if word gets out, no one in the village will object. In fact, I even want you to take over!"
Lu Yuanqing pouted, "It's not like there's no one else in the village. Besides, Brother Zhao has helped you with all sorts of things in the village over the years. He's capable too!"
“But you know perfectly well that I value you the most. The others are good, and your Brother Zhao is my son, and I think he’s good too, but none of them can compare to you!” Zhao Zhongcai retorted.
Lu Yuanqing smiled and said, "Uncle Zhao, if Brother Zhao hears you say that, he'll be hurt!"
If Zhao Laoda heard his father say that he was not as good as others, he would probably cry!
Zhao Zhongcai values Lu Yuanqing highly; over the years, he has long treated Lu Yuanqing as his own son.
Therefore, no matter the occasion or the matter, even if Lu Yuanqing acts like a spoiled child because he is unwilling, or speaks in a pretentious or irresponsible manner, Lu Yuanqing will not care.
He would even smile and help Lu Yuanqing, unconditionally standing on his side.
But every time this matter comes up, he can't bring himself to be so biased towards Lu Yuanqing.
Or rather, his insistence was simply a result of his selfish bias towards Lu Yuanqing.
“Get serious. Tell me, what’s wrong with being the brigade leader? Everyone else would be overjoyed if they had the chance, but you’re not willing at all and you’re refusing like this.”
Zhao Zhongcai found it very difficult to understand.
Captain!
The village head of Shihua Village is in charge of the entire village.
To put it bluntly, this position was taken from him, the current captain, so he should be the most unhappy person.
But once Lu Yuanqing became his target, Zhao Zhongcai was very willing.
In fact, when the commune leaders asked for his opinion, he was the first to recommend Lu Yuanqing.
"But being the brigade leader is tiring!" Lu Yuanqing pouted, choosing to tell the truth.
If Zhao Zhongcai initially portrayed himself as a hardworking and enthusiastic person dedicated to the village's development, he is now unafraid to reveal his true colors.
Because he was certain that even if he was someone who craved enjoyment and didn't like to give, Zhao Zhongcai wouldn't have any prejudice against him because of that.
In this world, he is the pillar of support for all the children of the Lu family.
But Zhao Zhongcai and Lu Guobin made him feel like he was a junior, but also had elders he could rely on.
Therefore, he told Zhao Zhongcai the truth.
He didn't want to be the brigade leader; it was tiring and didn't bring any benefits. He just didn't like dealing with the village's troublesome affairs.
I have no choice but to tell the truth. Zhao Zhongcai is too stubborn in wanting him to succeed him, and this isn't the first time.
Zhao Zhongcai's eyes widened, his lips twitching, "You..."
Lu Yuanqing completely gave up and said shamelessly, "Look at you, how angry you were just now. Over the years, you've handled all sorts of trivial matters in the village, dealt with the troubles caused by the educated youth from time to time, managed the bamboo ware factory, the pig farm, and all sorts of production-related matters."
"Uncle Zhao, I don't want to take on these things!"
