After breakfast, Zhou Ziwen and Chen Shiying went to the grain drying field to gather together.
At this time, many villagers and educated youths had gathered in Shaiguchang. Everyone was whispering to each other about Teacher Li's retirement and the selection of teachers.
Zhou Ziwen and Chen Shiying found a place to stand and greeted the people around them.
When the people were almost here, Wu Dagang and the team leader stood up to hold a meeting for everyone.
After some commonplace talk, the team leader also talked about Teacher Li's retirement and the need to select a new teacher.
The captain cleared his throat and said: "Teacher Li has paid a lot for our Dabazi Village. Now he is old and can no longer teach children."
"We want to select a new teacher to take over his job and provide better education for the children."
He paused and then said: "In this selection, we will conduct strict examinations to select the most suitable candidates fairly and impartially. Those who want to take the examination can register with Secretary Wu."
Wu Dagang also added: "The content of the exam includes two aspects: cultural knowledge and teaching ability. We hope that new teachers will not only have a solid knowledge base, but also have good teaching methods and patience."
At this time, the educated youths in the audience began to whisper, some seemed confident, while others seemed a little worried.
Zhou Ziwen heard the comments around him and sighed secretly in his heart.
He knew that this selection was an important opportunity for these educated youths, but there was only one teacher position, and the competition would definitely be fierce.
Compared with the villagers in Dabazi Village, the educated youth are definitely more knowledgeable.
Although there are a few villagers who have graduated from high school, most of them are still in junior high school, and some even stopped studying after primary school.
For the villagers, studying is of no use. It is better to go to work in the fields early and earn work points for the family.
Moreover, the farm work in the village is busy, and the children often need help. Not many can receive a complete education.
But the educated youth are different. Most of them have received systematic education and have a certain reserve of cultural knowledge.
For them, this teacher position not only means a respectable job, but also an opportunity to change their destiny.
Therefore, everyone is holding back their energy and wants to stand out in this selection.
After the morning meeting, many educated youth immediately gathered around Wu Dagang to sign up.
While registering, Wu Dagang told everyone to prepare carefully.
After waiting for a while, after registering and the crowd dispersed, Zhou Ziwen had time to talk to Wu Dagang.
"Uncle Wu, how are you? How many people have signed up?" Zhou Ziwen asked.
"Haha, there are quite a lot of people who have signed up. There are more than a hundred educated youths alone, plus others, there are always one hundred and fifty-six." Wu Dagang flipped through the book with the names written down.
"So many!" Although he had expected it, Zhou Ziwen felt a little numb when he actually heard that there were so many people.
After all, he is the one who publishes the test papers. The more people take the exam, the more test papers he has to prepare. Although he has already prepared the content of the test papers, it is still troublesome to copy them.
"Forget it, let Zhou Chaoyang and the others help when the time comes! Anyway, idle time is idle."
Zhou Ziwen suddenly thought of a way.
They won't take the exam anyway, so if you let them copy the test papers when the exam is about to take place, you don't have to worry about leaking the questions.
"Haha, I didn't expect there would be so many people. By the way, how are you preparing for your test papers?" Wu Dagang asked.
Zhou Ziwen replied: "I have already finished the exam content. I can just copy more when the time comes." "So fast?" Wu Dagang was a little surprised.
"Hey, the test questions are not difficult. The main purpose of the questions I set is to test their mastery of elementary school knowledge and teaching ability. There is no need for more difficult questions." Zhou Ziwen explained.
"Well, I can rest assured that you can do things." Wu Dagang nodded.
After chatting with Wu Dagang for a while, Zhou Ziwen left.
After wandering all the way, he came to the warehouse of the pig farm.
His mechanical maintenance skills reached level eight yesterday, and his maintenance skills have become much better. He has many new ideas for tractor maintenance.
He opened the door of the warehouse, and the sunlight shone on the tractor that had not been completely repaired. He decided to repair the tractor again today.
He first checked the part of the engine that had been repaired yesterday and found that the adjusted engine was running more stably, but there were still some minor problems that needed to be further solved.
He carefully inspected every component and found that a screw was loose. He picked up a tool and tightened it, and then made fine adjustments to some key parts of the engine.
Then he began to inspect the chassis of the tractor.
Yesterday he had removed rust and corrected deformation of the chassis, but today he found that some parts of the chassis were still not smooth enough, which might affect the tractor's driving stability.
He took out sandpaper and sanded the parts of the chassis that were not smooth enough to make the surface smoother.
Then he checked the connection parts of the chassis and found that some solder joints were loose. He used a welding tool to re-solder them to ensure that the chassis connection was firm.
After checking the chassis, he began to check the tractor's transmission system.
He found that although the chain that had been adjusted yesterday had the right tightness, it was still a little dry. He took out lubricating oil and lubricated the chain.
For the worn gears, he had found suitable replacement parts and replaced them yesterday, but today he found that the newly replaced gears did not mesh perfectly with other gears, so he fine-tuned the gears to make them mesh more closely. .
After some maintenance, Zhou Ziwen was satisfied with the progress of the tractor's maintenance. He believes that at this rate, it won't take long for the tractor to be completely repaired.
He walked out of the warehouse and looked at the sunshine outside, feeling particularly comfortable.
When it was almost time, he returned home and started preparing lunch.
When he returned home, Chen Qiaoyi was playing with little Yueyue. Seeing Zhou Ziwen coming back, she asked with a smile: "Brother Ziwen, you are back. What are you busy with this morning?"
Zhou Ziwen replied: "I am repairing the tractor in the warehouse. How did you and Xiao Yueyue spend this morning?"
Chen Qiaoyi said: "We are living a good life, and little Yueyue is very well-behaved."
Zhou Ziwen smiled and nodded, then walked into the kitchen and started preparing lunch.
He first took out some vegetables and meat from the cupboard and prepared to make a hearty lunch.
He washed and chopped the vegetables, cut the meat into small pieces, and then started cooking.
He skillfully used various kitchen utensils and seasonings, and soon the kitchen was filled with the aroma of food.
When the food was ready, Chen Shiying also came back from work.
The family gathers together to eat happily. (End of chapter)
