Chapter 286 I hope De Geer can have a good future
After lunch, Teacher Wu enthusiastically introduced the county school to Sun Shan.
At the same time, he expressed his worry that the education in Huangyang County was backward and students could not pass the examination to become scholars. Not only was he worried, but the county magistrate was also worried.
Sun Shan passed the imperial examination and became a scholar this year, but he was only happy for a second because Huangyang County was still at the bottom in terms of performance.
When the year-end summary is made, he will be criticized by the county magistrate, and the county magistrate will be criticized by the prefect.
Teacher Wu said a lot of nonsense, both good and bad things, before finally revealing his purpose. He hoped that Sun Shan, who had resources, would obtain the resources and provide them to Scholar Hong, and at the same time take the county school into consideration. Sun Shan would be very grateful.
Nowadays, knowledge is monopolized. Even if he is a teacher, he only monopolizes the county's resources. People from outsiders or aristocratic families cannot reach them. I hope Sun Shan can serve as a "bridge" and contribute to the education of Huangyang County.
What can Sun Shan say? He can only say good, try his best, and do his best.
Teacher Wu obviously attributed Sun Shan's ability to pass the imperial examination to his unique information.
He believed that he had more educational resources than Hong Xiucai. His own students could not pass the exam, but Hong Xiucai's students could. This must be because they had extra resources from the provincial government.
As for Sun Shan's extraordinary talents, amazing bones and extraordinary ability, Teacher Wu said he could not see any.
In his eyes, Sun Shan was ordinary and didn't look smart at first glance.
After Sun Shan finished visiting the county school, he said goodbye to Instructor Wu. If they continued chatting, it would probably be time for dinner.
I'm not very familiar with Teacher Wu, so I'd better not have dinner with him.
As I was walking out of the county school, my eyes wandered and I saw a job recruitment notice on the notice board.
Sun Shan rolled his eyes and asked, "Teacher, is the county school recruiting menial workers?"
Sun Shan was asking this question knowing the answer. If Wu was smart, he would have understood his intention. If he was not smart or did not want to chat up the question, he could just answer yes.
Teacher Wu was indeed smart. He asked tentatively, "Yes, recently a scholar has grown old and wants to return to his hometown to spend his old age. The people he brought here before were doing the job, but now they have returned home with the old scholar, so there is a vacancy in the county school. What's the matter? Ah Shan, do you have any recommendations?"
Sun Shan was stunned, thinking of the house Sun Boming bought yesterday, and the old scholar returned to his hometown.
Sun Shan really wanted to say what a coincidence it was that he actually ran into them.
Teacher Wu asked if there was any introduction, which proves that there is still no suitable candidate, at least he doesn’t have a suitable candidate yet.
Sun Shan said bluntly: "Teacher, I have a cousin who just graduated from school and is looking for a job. I saw the county school recruiting odd jobs, so I wanted to ask. If the position is full, then it's fine."
Sun Shan paused and said, "My cousin is one year older than me. He is tall and strong, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. He likes to study, but he has no talent, so he has no choice but to give up. I see that the atmosphere of studying is strong in the county school. He will definitely like to work here."
Sun Shan boasted without blinking an eye and fought for his so-called cousin De Ge'er.
Teacher Wu said without thinking: "I don't know whether they have recruited anyone or not. I will go ask the instructor."
The so-called instructor refers to an assistant who assists the teacher.
Sun Shan and Teacher Wu returned.
When Instructor Wu asked for guidance, he really hadn't found anyone. The job opening notice had just been posted.
The notice board inside the county school was posted with the intention of making recommendations from within.
Instead of recruiting people from outside, it is better to ask the faculty and staff of the county school to recommend them. It is more reliable to use someone you know.
This recruitment is for odd jobs in the county school. As for what the job will be, there is no specific job content.
Like a brick, it can be moved wherever it is needed.
For example, helping faculty and staff to send and receive parcels, receiving visitors, notifying parents when students have problems, etc. Sometimes simple repairs are required, and sometimes we also work as security guards at the school gate.
Anyway, I'm just a random person and I take orders from others.
Sun Shan asked about the wages again.
500 Wen a month includes food and accommodation. As for whether there are other subsidies or gray income, the teacher did not mention it.
When Sun Shan saw this request and this salary, he desperately fought for De Ge'er. If he hadn't happened to see it today, it would not have been De Ge'er's turn.
Although De Ge'er is only 14 years old this year, he will be 15 after the Chinese New Year. He can be considered a little adult and is old enough to get married.
Besides, De Ge'er is tall, strong and handsome, so he doesn't have to worry about others looking down on him because of his young age.
Teacher Wu thought that he had just taken Sun Shan's test materials and was counting on Sun Shan to get more test materials, so he offered this favor to Sun Shan and said with a smile: "Okay, ask your brothers to come and take a look. If it's suitable, you can stay."
Sun Shan was overjoyed. He thought that Teacher Wu was just being polite. As long as De Ge'er was not stupid, Teacher Wu would definitely accept him.
With a grateful look on his face, he said, "Thank you very much, Master. It's a great honor for you."
Back at the newly bought small courtyard, Sun Boming was doing some repairs, while his eldest sister Guyu and second sister Lixia had also come and were helping with cleaning.
As for Xiao Guangzai, he is really amazing. He actually takes care of Xiao Guangnu and the little crybaby.
In the middle of the yard, a cool mat was spread out, on which the little crybaby was lying, while little Guangnu was sitting and eating a melon, and little Guangzi was holding a bag of candy and eating it while looking at the two guys.
Seeing Sun Shan coming back, Xiao Guangzai, with his sharp eyes, immediately stood up and flew to Sun Shan's feet.
Sun Shan picked him up, tapped his little nose and said, "What are you doing, Guangzai?"
Xiao Guangzi pointed at his brother and sister and said, "Mother, Second Aunt asked me to watch them. I didn't want to watch them, so she beat me."
After saying that, she stretched out a thin arm, pointed at her arm with her other hand and said, "Hit me, mother, hit me here. It hurts."
Then he looked at Sun Shan pitifully.
Sun Shan laughed secretly, thinking that this little guy came to complain.
Sun Shan obeyed his wishes and said, "Oh, my mother is beating Guangzi. I'll help you beat my mother later, okay?"
Xiao Guangzi was satisfied, nodded happily and said, "Beat, beat my mother. My mother also beat me."
Sun Shan put Xiao Guangzi down. Xiao Guangzi stopped eating the melon, raised her hands high, and cried "ouch!", apparently wanting Sun Shan to hold her.
Sun Shan liked the plump little girl very much, but when he saw her eating the melon and getting it all over her body, he thought it was dirty.
After thinking about it, he decided to forget it. Holding her would dirty her clothes, so he shook his head and said, "No, Xiao Guangnv, eat melon and play with her brother and brother."
Xiao Guangnu raised her hand for a long time, but when she saw that her uncle didn't hug her, she pouted and wanted to cry.
Sun Shan quickly stuffed the melon into her mouth so that she could eat and forget about crying.
As for the little crybaby next to him, Sun Shan didn't dare to touch him. The last time he touched him, he cried so hard that he almost died.
I heard from my second brother-in-law that the little crybaby has been much better these days. I don’t know if he has grown up or if he has consulted a fortune teller to help him cry less.
That being said, for safety reasons, Sun Shan decided to stay away from the little crybaby.
I greeted Sun Boming, Guyu and Lixia, and told them what happened in the county school today, especially about helping Dege find a job.
Sun Shan acted first and reported to De Ge'er later without asking for his opinion. If De Ge'er was unwilling, Sun Shan would find the village chief's grandson.
This opportunity is rare, and Sun Shan wants to fight for it for the people of Sunjia Village.
Sun Bomin said nonchalantly, "Why wouldn't Dege be willing? It's so good to work in the county school. Many people beg for a job but can't find one. Even if you offer money or connections, you can't find a way. 500 wen a month, with food and accommodation provided, where can you find such a good job?"
Guyu also thought so: "Shanzi, if you hadn't passed the exam to become a scholar, such a good opportunity would not have been given to Dege'er."
Lixia also thought so: "Shanzi, don't worry that Dege'er doesn't want to come. Even if he doesn't want to, Uncle San and Aunt San will make him willing to come. If the county school recruits female workers, I will rush to go."
De Ge’er will no longer go to school after the New Year, and I don’t know what he will do by then.
Sun Shan grew up with De Ge'er, so naturally he wanted to find a place for him to go so that he wouldn't become a idler in the village.
Even if you haven't graduated from Zheng's School yet, it doesn't matter if you drop out a few months early.
I hope Degeer can have a good future.
