Chapter 167. I kind of want to teach

With such heavy rain, she didn't call Father Zhou and Mother Zhou to come over to eat. Lin Qing He placed it in a food container and got Da Wa to send it over.

The family soon got up, brushed their teeth, and had breakfast.

After breakfast, Zhou Qing Bai put on a raincoat and headed to the backyard to feed the pigs and chickens. Then he went out with a hoe. Since the rain was pretty big, he naturally had to check if the water in the field could flow out or not.

Even though they don't have work in the field, these patrols were required.

Lin Qing He lamented how the people, who relied on the weather to eat at this time, had it hard.

"Father have it tough." San Wa also remarked.

It was tough. since he had to go out during this downpour, right?

"He does. If you get employed, then you don't have to work so hard." Lin Qing He said, "Da Wa, Er Wa, what do you think?"

Both Da Wa and Er Wa agreed. Then the two brothers went to study.

Lin Qing He continued to work on the unfinished clothes.

Zhou Qing Bai soon returned. There weren't any major problems. Also, knowing that it was going to rain these days, the crops didn't need watering. So, there wasn't much to do.

"I'm making two new tops for you. As for your old ones, give it to my brother when he got free time to come over?" Lin Qing He asked.

"Don't need to make mine. Make two set for yourself." Zhou Qing Bai stated.

Lin Qing He grinned and replied, "My clothes don't get damaged, unlike you guys."

Speaking of it, she hadn't made many clothes since she came here. Most of them were the original owner's remains. Still, they were all in good condition. Also, her clothes don't get worn out, so there was no need to make new ones.

Zhou Qing Bai stared at his wife.

He knew that the village had a bad opinion of his wife. They say she didn't know how to live. In fact, he knew the best whether she did or didn't.

Basically, all the good stuff was left to him and the children. As for herself, she always makes do with the situation.

Zhou Qing Bai wasn't one to say pretty words. In his heart, he knew how much she put in for this family. It was all because of her that the family can have the current vitality.

"Why are you looking at me like this?" Lin Qing He glanced at him when she sewed the neckline. Seeing him staring at her, she asked in puzzlement.

"Make yourself two." Zhou Qing Bai maintained as he focused on her.

"I will." Lin Qing He chuckled and then continued to make clothes.

One made clothes, while the other watched her make it. Not finding it boring at all.

"This year, Da Wa's sweater needs to be disassembled and re-knitted. This kid is like you. He will definitely be a tall man in the future." Lin Qing He chattered.

"Don't exert yourself." Zhou Qing Bai replied.

"It's not tiring. There's always something to do at home." Lin Qing He said.

Although she can learn Chinese, Mathematics, and English when she was idle and want to pass, she had to do all the work that should be done at home. Otherwise, it'll keep niggling at the back of her mind.

"By the way, is the junior high school at the community recruiting teachers? I kind of want to teach." Lin Qing He changed the topic.

Zhou Qing Bai was surprised: "Teaching?"

"Not okay?" Lin Qing He swept a glance at him.

"It's not that. If you want to teach, you have to take an exam." Zhou Qing Bai said, looking at his wife.

He never expected his wife to have such thoughts. He had seen her handwriting and the writing was really good-looking. It's just that teaching wasn't an easy job.

"Nothing wrong with having exams. What's more, now that the Workers, Peasants, and Soldiers University is opened, there will be more emphasis on education. The community's junior high school should pay more attention to it." Lin Qing He said.

She felt that she can't just sit and wait, right?

There were still a few years left. She got to find something to pass the time.

For example, this teaching profession. Although she hadn't done it before, it shouldn't be difficult. It's just teaching junior high school students.

From the way she talked, Zhou Qing Bai knew that she really had these thoughts. So he hesitated and said, "Then I will ask the community."

"For now, leave it. The rain is so heavy." Lin Qing He reacted when she saw that he was about to head out

"It's okay." Zhou Qing Bai shook his head, then wore a raincoat and rode a bicycle over to the community to find the principal.

The principal of the community's junior high school naturally knew Zhou Qing Bai. Zhou Qing Bai had previously attended junior high school in the community.

"The junior high school will definitely recruit a math teacher next semester. But can your wife teach?" the junior high school principal was taken aback.

As Lin Qing He said, the Workers, Peasants, and Soldiers University were recruiting students. The education that had been dropped was slowly beginning to revive, so it was necessary to recruit an additional math teacher.

The first choice was to choose among the urban educated youth who were in the countryside.

"My wife can." Zhou Qing Bai nodded.

He knew how hard his wife worked. He had seen the questions given to Da Wa and found them difficult.

He felt that his wife's education level must have reached high school. She won't be worse than those urban educated youths.

The junior high school principal said in his mind, don't tell me you got bewitched by your wife.

"After this summer harvest, an exam will be held. The questions are made on the spot and given at once, so no one can cheat. If your wife wants to be a teacher, let her come and try at that time." The junior high school principal did not refuse, just stated.

If she didn't pass then, can't blame anyone. Of course, he can also give an explanation to Zhou Qing Bai then.

Zhou Qing Bai came back to report.

Lin Qing He was very delighted and rushed to ask, "What's the pay?"

Zhou Qing Bai knew of this. If one goes to teaching, they can receive work points. Five work points. In addition, there were salaries. One can get 13 yuan in a month. As for coupons, it was according to the situation.

After the restoration of the Workers, Peasants, and Soldiers University, both the community’s junior schools and county's high schools were consciously trained. If the school could produce a Worker, Peasants, and Soldiers University student who responded to the state’s call, how glorious would it be?

This matter wasn't confirmed yet. If it got spread out, it will definitely cause a lot of ridicules. Because Lin Qing He going to teach in this state was simply a joke.

Therefore, Lin Qing He told Zhou Qing Bai not to say anything. Not even to Father Zhou and Mother Zhou.

Lin Qing He didn't know the extent of the urban educated youths' ability. Since there was only one position for math teacher, Lin Qing He dared not relax at all. Who knows how good the other educated youths were?

In the following period, Lin Qing He studied the textbooks of elementary school, junior high school and even high school very systematically again. She was waiting for the community's junior high school teacher exam, which was after the summer harvest.

Lin Qing He's effort was seen by Mother Zhou.

Aside from completing the chores that needed to be done, Fourth's wife was constantly holding a book.

As expected, Mother Zhou would ask. Why was she so diligent all of a sudden?

Lin Qing He used the usual logic, saying that she wanted to teach Da Wa. He will be in the fifth grade next semester. How can she teach him if she didn't work hard?

Mother Zhou had checked with Da Wa. Da Wa said that the school teachers couldn't match up to the questions his mother gave him.
