In 1992, when I was 25 years old, I stayed in the village primary school and worked as a private teacher for six years after graduating from junior high school.
Although I wanted to become a full-time teacher by obtaining a teaching certificate, I tried many times but failed.
Although I love being a teacher, I know that my future as a private teacher is very slim.
However, unexpectedly, because of one incident, I was transferred to the town **, and was unusually promoted to deputy mayor.
It is unbelievable that after 30 years of hard work, I have changed from a private teacher to a deputy mayor.
Next, I will tell my story through a series of articles, which I hope you will enjoy.
At that time, the conditions in the countryside were very difficult, and the classrooms were all adobe houses, and in front of them were blackboards that we made ourselves.
There were only a dozen desks in the classroom, and on each table sat two students, their clothes in tatters, but their dark and shining eyes were full of curiosity and thirst for books and knowledge.
At that time, the classrooms were not even electrified.
Despite this, we did not feel that the conditions were so difficult, because life in the countryside is like this, and we can only barely solve the problem of food and clothing.
After the lecture, I said goodbye to my classmates, picked up my textbooks and walked to the courtyard.
At this time, someone suddenly rushed into the courtyard, he was Secretary Zhang of the village.
When he saw me, he said, "Teacher Liu, go to the village and help me write a banner." ”
Since my surname is Liu Fuzhou, the people in the village call me Teacher Xiao Liu, because the principal is also surnamed Liu.
Putting down the items in my hand, picking up the brush and ink, I followed the village party secretary Secretary Zhang to the village position.
Only 200 meters away from the village, we arrived at our destination with just one cigarette.
After arriving, I found that two cadres in the village were sitting at their desks in a daze, and it turned out that the town was about to inspect the agricultural work in the village, so the village needed to make some banners and propaganda slogans.
For the two of them, who are only in the third or fourth grade of primary school, this is undoubtedly a difficult task.
So they thought of me, because I had been learning Xi calligraphy from a teacher since I was a child, so I was the best handwriting in the village.
When I arrived at my destination, I began to cut the paper, dip it in thick ink, and write as much as I could.
Every time they wrote a word, the village cadres let out a burst of exclamation.
They said, "Teacher Xiao Liu, you are so good at handwriting, you should be transferred to the county as a calligrapher, it's a pity!."You have to take the exam well, and after you become a public teacher, your salary will improve a lot. ”
And just like that, a few dozen words of banners and slogans were quickly written.
After waiting for them to dry, we pasted them on the walls on both sides of the village position, and the effect looked fantastic.
I am quite confident in my calligraphy and writing.
When I was in the fifth grade of elementary school, a teacher came to my village who was said to be a member of the Municipal Writers' Association.
Because of his confrontation with his superiors, he was sent to the village to experience life, and I practiced calligraphy with him Xi two years.
He said that I was relatively intelligent and had some talent for calligraphy, so he taught me very seriously, starting with the most basic penmanship and regular script, and until the end, I was able to write a better calligraphy font.
Two years later, he was transferred back to the city.
At the time of parting, I was very reluctant to give him, and I had nothing good to give him.
So I secretly took a bag of bud rice noodles from home and gave it to him.
Seeing that I was very reluctant, he left me two calligraphy books and told me to keep practicing Xi every day, maybe calligraphy could change my fate.
After finishing writing Murakami's slogan and banner, I went back to school to continue my teaching life.
At noon the next day, Secretary Zhang, the secretary of the village party committee, suddenly came to my house in a hurry and told me: "Teacher Liu, hurry up and go to the village position, someone wants to see you!.""I was confused and didn't know why anyone wanted to see me at this time.
But I couldn't stand Secretary Zhang's urging, so I had to put down the pen in my hand that was writing lesson plans and follow him towards the village position.
Soon, we reached the village position.
There were two people smoking in brown jackets standing at the door, and there were several people in the yard with a few bicycles parked.
They all stared at us curiously when they saw me and Secretary Zhang coming in.
Secretary Zhang took me into the office, and there was a middle-aged man sitting inside, wearing a white shirt, trousers and leather shoes, holding a cigarette in his hand, combing his big back, and his head was shiny, which looked very majestic.
Secretary Zhang smiled and said, "Secretary Song, Teacher Liu is here." ”
With that, he went out.
The middle-aged man smiled and asked me to sit down.
He asked, "Are you Liu Fuzhou?"The slogans and banners in the village were written by you?I hurriedly nodded and replied, "I wrote it." ”
At this time, I was a little nervous and scared, and cautiously asked, "Leader, did I make a typo?"The middle-aged man smiled and said, "No, I see that your handwriting is very beautiful and free, and I am very curious about who wrote it."
I heard that you are teaching in a village elementary school, but unfortunately you are a private teacher, are you interested in going to work in the town with me?”
I was a little lost and silent.
To tell you the truth, I love teaching and educating people, but as a private teacher, I feel a lot of pressure on my identity.
The salary of a private teacher is only a few dozen yuan, and there is no guarantee whatsoever, and it is not even as good as a farmer who supports his family.
If it weren't for the fact that I have been trying hard to get admitted to the public teacher exam and give my family a little hope, I might not have been able to persevere.
When I think about who I am, I feel disappointed and feel inferior.
I plucked up the courage to ask: "Secretary Song, as a private teacher, if I go to work in the town, will I have a chance to become a regular?"Secretary Song replied: "As long as you perform well, you have a chance." ”
So, I nodded and agreed to go to work.
Then, Secretary Song and the group rode away.
Secretary Zhang, the secretary of the village party committee, told me that Secretary Song is the secretary of the town party committee and the highest leader of the town, and if he follows him, he may be able to become a regular national cadre, which is much better than being a private teacher in a village school.
After thanking Secretary Zhang, I went back to the school and told the principal and the other three teachers.
Although they were reluctant to let me go, they understood me and gave me encouragement and blessings to say goodbye to the students in my class.
Nervous, I went to the classroom to say my final goodbyes to the children.
Unexpectedly, in just a day or two, my fate changed dramatically.
I took one last class and told them that I was leaving.
The children fell silent, they had just become acquainted with me and didn't want me to leave, and some of the girls even started crying.
In the evening, I bought two bottles of wine, prepared a few cold dishes, sat down with a few teachers and village cadres, and drank a meal.
Early the next morning, I packed my bags and quietly left the school.
When I walked outside the school gate, I suddenly heard someone behind me shouting, "Teacher Liu, will you come back?""I turned around and saw a head poking out of the school gate, it was Zhang Xiaojun in the class, he has always been naughty and mischievous.
Then, the other students showed their heads, and they all came out to see me off, knowing that I had just left.
I waved to them and shouted, "You must be obedient, study hard to learn Xi, and strive to get out of the mountains as soon as possible!"The teacher will remember you!With that, I hurriedly turned around and walked forward, tears falling like beads with broken threads, and my heart was filled with great sadness.
I don't know what the fate of the future holds, so I can only stride forward.
No one could have imagined that in the next twenty or thirty years, my life would be so full of ups and downs, full of legends.
From the deputy mayor to the mayor, to the deputy mayor, and finally to the second line, it is very emotional.
I will compile my experience into **, I hope that the majority of friends can support more!by Remuneration for both the period: Earnings 1 3.
Teachers and friends are welcome to submit to us, and the remuneration will be equivalent to the return!
