While the students were being taken away for ideological education by comrades from the Municipal Education Commission, Su Ye, the "instigator", was also interrogated for an entire afternoon by comrades from the research team.

In the small room, four pairs of eyes looked at each other.

Su Ye smiled sweetly and asked, "Comrade, can we go back now?"

Su Ye was not surprised at all, as love was the beginning of a storm. Fortunately, Su Ye had made preparations early on, driven by his desire, so he was not in a hurry.

Comrade Yin from the investigation team asked with a dark face: "It seems that Comrade Su has not changed his bad habits and still doesn't know he is wrong!"

Su Ye said righteously: "I dare not. I am absolutely devoted to the Party and the country and will never do anything sneaky."

The comrade from the Education Committee asked sternly: "You used your position to incite students to engage in illegal business activities and disrupt the teaching order—"

Su Ye took out a few coins from his pocket and told the comrades of the investigation team that they were from the investigation team. He said with a straight face, "Absolutely not."

"If anything I say next is fabricated, comrades, please report it to the public security bureau."

Su Ye said with emotion: "I am a science teacher. I teach students some practical skills in my spare time. They learned how to repair watches and radios from me.

To be honest, we were forced into a corner and had no other options. Otherwise, why would we take on this thankless job if we were not a good teacher? If we don’t make a penny, what’s the point? "

Su Ye eagerly handed over a pile of scraps of paper. The comrades from the Education Committee unfolded them and found that they were receipts for paying for books and tuition, as well as a small note written by the parents: "Received a living subsidy of five yuan from the Green Factory in February 1960."

Although the amount is not much, the receipts of all sizes add up to several hundred yuan a month!

They were shocked.

Su Ye sighed and took out a bunch of things from his bag. They were photos taken by reporter Xia on the weekend. He asked Su Ye to pick out a few to publish in the newspaper, which came in handy.

Su Ye flipped through the photos and introduced them one by one: "This child, both his parents died, he was raised by his grandparents. If he hadn't been raised, he would have been a laborer for the rest of his life; this girl is only five years old, if we hadn't visited her home we wouldn't have known she was getting married; this one is even more pitiful, he was at the top of the class before he dropped out of school, now he can only work at the mining bureau to shovel coal, he's so hungry and skinny and malnourished..."

"This person just can't bear to see his children suffer. Their suffering is more painful than his own suffering!"

Su Ye twisted her thigh.

As she spoke, she reached out and wiped her eyes, pretending to raise her head to stop the tears from falling.

The comrades present listened to Su Ye telling the stories of one dropout after another. They felt sour in their hearts as if they had eaten lemons, and their eyes became moist with emotion. Su Ye choked up, and they turned their eyes away, unable to watch.

"They are really a group of very smart children. After I brought them back, they all wanted to work for me and thanked me whenever they saw me. They did their homework and labor very well. They were really afraid of not being able to go to school and worried that I would stop supporting them. In fact... how could I let them not be able to go to school? I would sell my blood to support them to continue their studies! Besides, I am just making a watch."

Su Ye's voice was slightly choked with sobs. She took out a form from her bosom and said, "This is the financial details of the refurbished watches we made. If you want to take me to the Public Security Bureau, I will have no complaints. But - please don't make things difficult for those kids!"

Su Ye said as he stretched out his hands to cooperate with the arrest, with a look of calmness as if he was sacrificing a small thing for a big thing.

The stern expression on her face would make someone who didn't know her think she was going to the guillotine.

Hahahaha I'm dying of laughter, this desire is really unique, and his acting skills are so sudden and unexpected

I felt like crying after listening to her. If her mother hadn't heard her exaggerated lines and the tone of the story was not right, she would have been fooled.

Host, have you put garlic on your sleeves? If not, you will be disqualified!

The financial statements were distributed and each comrade checked the accounts carefully. The more they checked, the clearer their minds became.

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became solemn, and the comrades of the investigation team looked at Su Ye with awe.

How could this be a teacher who exploits students? This is clearly a good teacher who devotes her whole heart to students and works hard until her death! She is not corrupt and does not violate laws for personal gain. It's just that she has a good business sense and has created so much wealth for the school and students in just one month!

It's not her fault. If she has any fault, it's that she loves studying too much.

The comrades in the investigation team were so angry that they said, "Teacher Su, we are only here to investigate, not to take you to the police station."

"It's just that we thought this economic activity was suspicious and came to investigate, but we didn't necessarily want to convict you."

When Su Ye heard their tone soften, she brushed her sleeves and calmly took out a discarded watch from her bag.

"Look what this is? This is a broken watch. It was brought to us because it couldn't be repaired."

Su Ye opened one of the watches and narrated calmly: "Each watch has hundreds of parts, big and small, and each part is a high-tech industrial product. The production process is not simple. They condense the hard work and youth of the workers.

A broken watch is just a broken part of the watch. It would be a waste to just throw it away! Improper handling of waste watches can also cause environmental pollution. The Prime Minister has advocated that everyone should be frugal, and we are also responding to the call of the country. "

"Our assembly and refurbishment of watches is, on a small scale, helping out-of-school children, and on a larger scale, saving resources for the country!"

Is there any meaning in this? The comrades looked at each other with deep eyes.

With such a big hat on his head, this comrade's image became completely tall and bright. The comrades of the Municipal Education Commission even sat straighter.

Saving resources for the country is a great achievement. No one else has thought of using waste for so many years, but Su Ye did. Not to mention that the Education Commission can detain Su Ye in the Public Security Bureau today, if he is released outside, he may even be rated as an advanced person or advanced spirit.

The call for thrift and diligence is not a slogan, but a red-headed document issued by the central government this year, and the people of the whole country must abide by it. The fact that teachers and students of No. 1 Middle School used waste to make new watches may be used as a benchmark if it is made public.

One comrade couldn't help cursing in his heart. Who the hell is trying to screw over the Education Commission? Why didn't he investigate on his own before reporting it

After a conversation, the comrades of the investigation team had cleared up their misunderstanding of Su Ye. Before leaving the office, the comrades shook hands with Su Ye cordially. A leader said meaningfully:

"Comrade Su has a lot of ideas. The country is in need of talents like you! Now that we understand your situation, we can take it back and discuss it. Maybe we can use it as a model and set a benchmark for excellence."

Su Ye was stunned when she heard this. She nodded excitedly and shook the leaders' hands vigorously: "Then I would like to thank the leaders for their understanding and support!"

As she spoke, she took out a few watches that had not yet been ordered by customers and said, "The watches are ten yuan each. If the leaders find them useful, take them back as promotional materials and let everyone have a look."

"If nothing else, our watches are so popular that they're sold out in no time!"

Hahahaha, this wave of reverse marketing is good, it's fucking awesome

The prosperity is so great that it is really unbearable to watch. There is nothing we can do. Look at the expressions of the leaders of the Education Commission.

Come on, anchor, which company did you work for before you came here? How much is the monthly salary to hire a funny guy like you

The comrades from the Education Committee really thought about it for a while, and then they said with a smile: "Next time, Comrade Su. We still have time this time, so we'll leave first."

Even though I didn’t buy it, I also… didn’t refuse it

Su Ye smiled knowingly, "Okay, I'll keep the watch for now. Buying one means supporting children who drop out of school. It's such a meaningful cause, comrades should personally participate in it to experience it better."

After Su Ye saw the leader off, his eyes fell on these exquisite watches.

The watches were not in short supply, so why did they give them to these comrades? The reason was simple. Su Ye wanted to see which shameless person had reported to the Education Commission.

Su Ye saw off the comrades from the Education Committee and returned to the classroom to take a look at his students.

The classmates looked at her with concern.

Su Ye's eyes were slightly moist, and her eye sockets were sunken and she looked listless. In the eyes of her classmates, this became irrefutable evidence of her persecution.

How much injustice the teacher has suffered because of them!

This was actually another wonderful misunderstanding. Su Ye had just been praised and shook hands with the leaders with great pride, and it seemed that he was about to be promoted.

It was just that she was too tired. Gu Xiangqian was too capable last night, so she didn't want to go to bed until dawn. When this group of leaders came, they occupied Su Ye's lunch break.

After dealing with his leader, Su Ye yawned and wanted to go back to the office to sleep.

She still had some conscience, so before returning to the office, she turned into the junior high school to let the students know she was safe: "Don't worry, the teacher is fine!"

The children were even more moved after hearing this. They wondered how much injustice their teacher Su had suffered. There was a hint of pretended strength and calmness in this faint voice.

Some students couldn't help but lower their heads and cover their faces and cry, biting their hands to hold back their tears.

They were silent, their fists clenched, and they felt more and more distressed for Su Ye. They just wanted to give her their heart and soul, and listen to her obediently in the future, and not make her angry or worry again.

They are so prosperous and confused. Are they a group of people who are full of imagination

This... this I don't even know if the host is pretending to be cool

What a magical development—hahahahahahahahahahaha I covered my face and didn’t see it

After Su Ye finished speaking, she returned to the office. She didn't care about anything and just lay down on the table and fell into a sound sleep.

The next day.

Su Ye went to the Education Committee and sent the watch to the office. The leader said that we should discuss whether this matter can be rated as advanced or excellent. It would be better to have a physical object to evaluate it, right? Only by using it personally can we know whether it is good or not.

The Education Commission Office didn't feel comfortable asking for things for free, so all the comrades in the office contributed money to support this "student aid activity."

When Su Ye received the money, he secretly asked his comrade: "Who reported this matter? Tell me so that I can have a clear idea. If I have offended him in my daily life, I can admit my mistake and apologize and avoid him."

The comrades from the Education Commission thought about it and felt that both of them were glorious people's teachers with high ideological levels, so there shouldn't be much of a gap between them.

After all, it's all for the good of the students, and I don't have any personal motives.

She whispered, "Do you recognize Gao Anna, the teacher at No. 5 Middle School?"

Su Ye nodded after hearing this. She recognized this person very well! Wasn't this the idiot who always complained that she squeezed him out of the first middle school? He dared to question her when he only got 3 points out of 100.

"Thank you comrade. I will definitely find Comrade Gao to resolve the conflict!"

After Su Ye left the Education Commission office, he took his equipment from home, disguised himself, and wandered around Gao Anna's home.

She used the food to find out some useful information, and after that Su Ye returned to the military compound contentedly.

On the weekend, Su Ye specifically said hello to He Meimei and said that she was going to the suburbs to improve her life.

In the morning, Su Ye took out his tools and prepared to go out. Gu Xiangqian dressed neatly and said, "You're going too."

Gu Xiangqian and Su Ye spent their wages on themselves, unlike other families who had to share their wages and food with their family members. The couple could take care of themselves and their life was very comfortable. In addition, Gu Xiangqian's salary was not bad, so there was no need for Su Ye to improve the food.

But relying on Gu Xiangqian's meager salary and the one pound of pork every month, how could Su Ye be enough to fill his stomach

At present, Gu Xiangqian was at home, and Su Ye had no way to avoid him and secretly eat meat. She was very greedy, so she had to go to the suburbs with He Meimei to "improve her life".

Su Ye planned to extract four pounds of pork belly from the backstage at one time. She had inquired and learned that the leftover pork could be sent to the canteen in exchange for meat tickets.

There was a time when wild boars frequently destroyed crops, making the villagers miserable. The soldiers stationed there received orders to hunt wild boars. Every time they returned, they would bring the wild boars to the canteen, where the cooks would weigh them and distribute meat tickets.

With the meat ticket, Su Ye could live a wonderful life eating meat-filled buns every day.

Su Ye frowned and asked Gu Xiangqian: "What are you going to do?"

With him as the leader, how can others feel free to dig wild vegetables

However, Su Ye glanced at Gu Xiangqian's powerful body, and she changed her mind: Four pounds of pork is not light, it would be nice to let him do some hard labor.

Su Ye readily agreed, and she handed the tools in her hand to Gu Xiangqian.

It was the height of spring, and the wild vegetables in the suburbs were growing lushly. As the spring ploughing season approached, food became increasingly scarce, and more and more people came to the suburbs to dig wild vegetables. Citizens were no longer limited to the flat fields and riverbanks, and many of them bravely went to the mountains and fields farther away.

Li Hongli, Gao Anna and Fang Xiulian were still by the river, fishing leisurely.

When He Meimei saw Gu Xiangqian accompanying Su Ye to the suburbs to pick wild vegetables, she was so surprised that her mouth opened slightly.

Su Ye said: "He has more experience than us, let him come and help."

He Meimei was stunned. Isn't digging wild vegetables like playing? Su Ye actually asked Gu Xiangqian to come for such a small thing.

Su Ye looked at the mountains in the distance and said to Gu Xiangqian, "You need to make a trap later, and we can catch some game to eat back home. Maybe there will be a wild boar..."

Gu Xiangqian had much more experience in the wild than Su Ye. He surveyed the terrain, took a quick look, and then looked away.

He said: "There is no woodland nearby and the grass vegetation is thin, which is not enough for wild boars to hide. Wild boars are highly alert and will not survive in such an exposed environment."

After hearing this, the others nodded and laughed at Su Ye's wild ideas.

"Wild boars need to eat a lot of things. A litter of piglets can eat up the entire mountain. How can these vegetables and grass be enough to keep them alive?"

The others started laughing.

Pork is such a precious food these days. Since February, the supply and marketing cooperative has only supplied pork for two days. It would have been fine if it was only two days, as only less than 5,000 kilograms of pork were distributed. With a population of one million in the city, this amount of pork is not enough to fill the gaps in the city's population.

When everyone heard the word "wild boar", they couldn't help drooling just thinking about it.

Su Ye looked into the distance calmly without saying anything. If she said there was, there was. How could the wild boar not have it

Hahahaha I don't dare. If the live broadcast room doesn't allow it, we will report it.

So we need wild boars this time? Got it, let the administrator arrange it. We have to live up to Teacher Su's hard work.

Wild boar guarantees tender skin and delicious meat

On the river beach.

When Gao Anna saw Su Ye's expression change, she whispered to her cousin, "Shall we go back?"

Li Hongli hung the fishing rod aside, just in time to watch Su Ye's joke. Why go back

She found that Su Ye brought Gu Xiangqian with her this time. Gu Xiangqian took out a bag of candy from his arms without saying a word and handed it to Su Ye.

Su Ye opened the candy wrapper and ate it sweetly, sitting leisurely and watching Xiang Qian working.

When had Gu Xiangqian ever done such rough work? In addition to his own salary, he also received a monthly government pension for his father. How could a man who had been raised like a nobleman since childhood have to move to the suburbs to improve his life after marriage

Li Hongli felt very uncomfortable when she saw this scene, as if needles were pricking her eyes.

Amidst the laughter, Gu Xiangqian dug a hole quickly and methodically, and set the trap in an orderly manner. He took out a candy from his pocket and told Su Ye to sit next to him and eat it, while he used a knife to sharpen one end of a branch and inserted it into the trap.

Gu Xiangqian spent a full half hour whittling the wood.

After setting up the spikes, he carefully covered the trap with leaves and sand, and sat on a stone beside it with Su Ye.

Su Ye was too lazy to watch others like a monkey, so after setting the trap, she picked some wild vegetables.

She climbed up the tree and picked some tender elm seeds. After filling a basket with them, she handed the elm seeds to Gu Xiangqian to take to the river to wash.

The people around had been talking about the bare trap, but two hours had passed and there was no movement in the trap, so everyone gradually lost interest in making fun of it.

How ridiculous! Trying to hunt wild boars in a place like this is like trying to catch fish by climbing a tree.

Trying to catch fish by climbing a tree will never yield any results.

Li Hongli is the child of a soldier. She was hung up by her father for training since she was a child, and has accumulated some field experience.

What shocked her was that Gu Xiangqian knew very well that this was an impossible situation, but still joined Su Ye in making trouble.

She crossed her arms and said to Gu Xiangqian seriously, "I thought Brother Xiangqian had experience in field battles and would refuse this ridiculous request, but I didn't expect—"

Gu Xiangqian responded calmly: "Yeah."

Su Ye kept messing around with Gu Xiangqian in all kinds of ways every day, and he would occasionally want to obey her wishes.

Su Ye saw that Gu Xiangqian was too lazy to pay attention to Li Hongli, and then saw the dissatisfaction in Li Hongli's eyes, and laughed.

While no one was paying attention, she leaned over and kissed Gu Xiangqian, giving him a thumbs up: "Great!"

Gu Xiangqian touched the face that was kissed with his backhand, and pressed Su Ye's head with his other hand, "Stop it."

Su Ye raised his head calmly, glanced at Li Hongli, and asked, "Who said it's funny?"

This time, I'll let you take the C position and experience your father's luck.

Just when Li Hongli kept talking and said contemptuously, "Su Ye, this is not in line with common sense. Su Ye, you are a science teacher. Su Ye doesn't even talk about science."...

A little wild boar came running from a distance like crazy, with its hooves spread out. It fell into the trap set by Gu Xiangqian and screamed like a pig being slaughtered.

Everyone was shocked and looked at the trap that had not been dug for hours and was still hot.

Could it be that this trap is blessed, so that it can lure wild boars from afar and make them fall into its trap obediently

Hahahahahahahahaha our teacher Su is unreasonable when he wants to eat meat

Don't talk to her about science. The most unscientific thing about her is that she traveled back in time to the 1960s.
