187 One Person Calling The Shots
When Yu Yan was in school, her grades were all in the top ten of the cohort. She originally wanted to argue with Yu Bing and arrange a written test. She was confident that she could definitely get the position. However, she was shocked by the academic talent of these two people. Hence, she looked a little uncomfortable and was about to sit down as if nothing had happened.
However, Yu Bing wouldn’t let her off so easily. The corners of her lips curled up as she asked, “Why don’t I arrange an exam for you, Shu Ya, and Dong Yang? If you defeat them in these two subjects, you can get the position. I’ll even apologize to you.”
If they really competed, Yu Yan would embarrass herself in public. Yu Bing’s mockery angered Yu Yan. She glared at Yu Bing as she replied, “I didn’t say that I wanted to compete with them. I just couldn’t stand you calling the shots and wanted to speak up for everyone!”
Yu Yan thought that someone would definitely feel that Yu Bing was being unfair by deciding for everyone so directly. However, she didn’t expect that this was only a small number of people. Moreover, after knowing that the difference in strength between the two sides was so great, they could only tacitly agree to Yu Bing’s arrangements. Otherwise, it would be a waste of time.
Therefore, most of the people felt indignant. If Yu Yan wanted to go against Yu Bing, she shouldn’t drag them down with her!
Immediately, someone said indignantly, “Let me make it clear first that I don’t feel that it’s unfair. I’m a bad student, so I have no intention of becoming a teacher.”
“Me too. With my grades, I won’t be teaching anytime soon.”
“Shu Ya, Dong Yang, there’s no need to compete. I admit defeat.”
The others also discussed softly, but most of them admired the two of them and didn’t doubt their teaching ability.
Yu Yan could only sit down indignantly. This time, she had the patience to listen because after Wu Jin became the village chief, he became more and more strict with work.
After Li Ping was removed from her position as team leader, the newly appointed Wang Gui couldn’t stand people slacking off, so Wang Gui kept an eye on Yu Yan’s attendance.
A few days ago, when Duan Mei came, she took half a day off work very often. After she returned, Wang Gui assigned her the heaviest job. Wang Gui said that she should exercise to prevent herself from falling sick again.
Yu Yan was living a miserable life every day now. Now that she saw such a good opportunity, how could she care about her pride? Since this job was for intellectuals, she also wanted to compete. Even if she could only get a day or two a month, it was fine.
The meeting continued. A young man raised his hands and asked, “Can I read some agricultural science books to the villagers?”
Yu Bing felt that this was a good idea. “Sure, but you can’t read it out loud. You have to read through the book yourself first and summarize it like the teachers did when we were in school in the past. You have to pay more attention to the details!”
With that, she looked around at the young people sitting there. “There’s something you have to pay attention to. If a certain number of villagers report that the classes aren’t efficient and there are less than 50 people in the class, the class you’re teaching will be suspended.”
When everyone heard this condition, they were a little nervous. Firstly, they had never been teachers before. Secondly, they had to pay attention to what content the villagers were interested in to prevent the attendance rate from being too low.
Yu Bing had also considered this. Moreover, it was harvest season, so the farmers were busy. If they were to attend the class, it would probably become a “snoring competition” in less than ten minutes. “You can do an investigation first and see what everyone is interested in. After the harvest season, our night school will officially start. During this period, whoever decides what course to teach will prepare a lesson plan for me to see, so I can arrange the schedule immediately.”
After the intellectual youth meeting ended, Yu Bing and Jiang Chun returned to the small courtyard at the foot of the mountain.
At this moment, the Yu family was also having a family meeting.
After Yu Wu saw the jam on the table, he went to the kitchen to get a clean spoon. He scooped a large spoonful into his cup.
Seeing this, Yu Pan also took a large spoonful. Unfortunately, before she could put it in the cup, it was snatched away by Duan Mei.
Duan Mei distributed some jam from the spoon to Mr. Yu’s cup and poured a portion into her own cup. “Why are you eating so much?! This jam is very precious. It’s one buck per bottle.”
When it was handed back to Yu Pan, there was only a thin layer of jam left.
