Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, 1979, the Provincial Teachers College recently began to arrange students to go to various primary schools, middle schools and high schools in the province for practical teaching.
"Meixiang, do you know where the school arranges you? Stay in the provincial capital or go back to our Yun County?"
During the meal, Jiahui asked Meixiang about the internship, and Meixiang said after a moment of eloquence, "I don't think I have a chance to stay in the provincial capital. Everyone is doing internships here, especially the local students."
Jiahui's grades in the class assessment are good, and she has never dropped out of the top five. If she is assigned an internship school based on her grades, she will have a chance to stay in the city.
Regarding the question of where to practice, Meixiang herself is not demanding, and obeys the school's arrangements anytime and anywhere. It is like a dream to get to this point. She is infinitely satisfied with the status quo, and she is happy no matter where she goes for internship.
The internship means that she will soon leave the campus and really engage in the profession of teaching.
From childhood to adulthood, the teacher has a lofty position in her heart. The teacher is a hard-working gardener, a candle of selfless dedication, burning herself and illuminating the students!
She can't wait to start an internship at this moment, and can become a respectable teacher right away. As for which school it is, whether it is the provincial capital or the county, or their own Shengli Commune, it doesn't make any difference to her.
She is young and enthusiastic, with lofty ideals and enthusiasm for dedicating the motherland in her heart, simple and selfless.
In the end, the school arranged for Meixiang to be Yun County No. 1 Middle School. At first, Meixiang thought that she had heard wrong. How could she arrange an internship in a junior high school? Meixiang always believed that with her own ability, she could only be a primary school teacher.
"You are from Yun County. The principal of No. 1 Middle School called a while ago and said that the school lacks teachers, especially young and energetic teachers. Considering that you are from Yun County and your academic performance has been among the best this year, I think you can do it. Go to No. 1 Middle School for an internship and try."
Mei Xiang was very moved after hearing these words, and it felt so good to be recognized by others. She even gave birth to Zhuge Liang's feeling of "throwing his head and blood" back then.
She went home excitedly and told her family the good news, and the whole family was happy for her.
"Our family is going to have a junior high school teacher in the future, and it just so happens that Hei Dan is in fifth grade this year, so you can be Hei Dan's teacher in the future."
In the countryside, "teachers" are very respected, not to mention that Meixiang is not a primary school teacher, but a junior high school teacher, which feels a higher level, Zhang Qiaoer is so relieved, she never dreamed that this little girl would be so promising day.
Mei Xiang was not used to being praised like this, so she smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "Oh, I'm just going for an internship, and it's not yet the time for formal arrangements, so don't be too happy."
What if her internship results are not satisfactory, then everyone should be disappointed again.
Although she has improved a lot, she has an inferiority complex in her bones, and she is always worried that she will not do well and let others down.
Soon it was the day before the report, Meixiang packed her luggage and set off. Zhao Donghe sent her to the station. Before leaving, Jiahui gave her a hundred dollars and prepared a lot of food for her.
"Sister-in-law, I can't take this money. I keep all the pocket money you usually give me."
And what she earned in her hometown before, after so many years, she still has one or two hundred yuan.
"You take it, poor family and rich road, I would rather bring more money than wrong myself when I go out."
Meixiang is a very frugal girl, she never spends money recklessly, Jiahui knows that she probably won't spend it back, but she still has to give what is due.
Because the county seat is hundreds of kilometers away from the village, this means that Meixiang cannot go home and live in the county seat, and it depends on whether the school arranges a dormitory. A young girl works and lives in an unfamiliar environment by herself. To be honest, everyone I am very worried.
"Then... thank you sister-in-law."
Meixiang knows that sister-in-law is a straightforward person, since she gave it, she gave it sincerely, not pretending, and since sister-in-law gave it sincerely, she didn't need to brush off her kindness.
"Take care of yourself and call our school if you need something."
Telephones are also a rarity these days. There is no telephone line at home, but there are telephone booths at school, and there are telephones in the teacher's office. All the telephone numbers that can be found for her and Zhao Donglin have been given to Meixiang.
Mei Xiang nodded with a "yes", "I understand, sister-in-law, don't worry, I'll be back after two months."
Meixiang waved her hand and left, Donghe sent her to the bus station to the county seat, watched her get on the bus, and waited for the bus to start slowly before turning around and going home.
"This is our school dormitory. There are not many teachers living there, only seven or eight."
The first thing she did when she arrived in the county was to report, explaining her need for accommodation. The school director took her to the school dormitory, which was a row of small bungalows on the east side of the school, each room was about ten square meters.
There is an iron bed with bunk beds in the dormitory, because there are not many people staying in the dormitory, Mei Xiang lives alone.
The head of the department arranged for Meixiang to be in the second class of the first grade of junior high school, to practice Chinese and natural science. The head teacher also asked her if she could play the piano, and if she could, she could also serve as a music teacher.
The next day, Meixiang got up early to get ready, and arrived at the school and the first grade office ahead of schedule, waiting for the teachers to arrive.
The teachers appeared one after another. Meixiang greeted everyone politely, and everyone introduced themselves to each other.
"Cui Zongyi hasn't arrived yet? He's the only one left. This young man is not active at work. A beautiful trainee teacher came today..."
From the moment she heard the name "Cui Zongyi", Meixiang felt that she had auditory hallucinations. There was a noise at the door of the office. When Meixiang turned her head, she saw a familiar face in front of her with her back to the sun. It was her student. The male classmate that Times had a crush on, Cui Zongyi.
It turned out that Cui Zongyi was recommended to go to the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University after graduating from high school. After graduation, he taught physics in junior high schools.
Cui Zongyi was also quite surprised to see Meixiang. He didn't expect to meet her at the school. He heard from his classmates that Meixiang had taken the college entrance examination and was admitted to the provincial teacher's college. He didn't expect to arrange an internship in their school.
Mei Xiang's face was burning unknowingly. In the past, she would have dared not say anything shy. After more than a year of college life and doing business with her sister-in-law, her personality is not as shy as before.
It's just that when I meet someone I have always kept in my heart, my heart will still be pounding, and I am embarrassed to look at the other person.
"Student Zhao Meixiang, just listen to the class first, and ask other teachers if you don't understand."
Mei Xiang nodded in agreement, with a docile and well-behaved attitude, and the director was very satisfied after seeing it.
Although this female student looks too young, as long as she is obedient, doesn't cause trouble, and has strong professional ability, it doesn't matter if she is young or not.

Wudong University, the professor called Jiahui and Zhou Ruosen to the office to talk.
"You are already sophomores, and you should have improved in all aspects compared to a year ago. Now, the two of you in the class have always been good at learning. I expect you to be higher than other students. I believe that you are the same. I can see it."
Wudong University is a key university in the province, and those who can be admitted to Wudong must be selected by tens of thousands of people.
After entering the campus, the students were thirsty for knowledge, studied very hard, and completely achieved the goal of wearing stars and wearing moons.
With the hard work of the students, everyone's progress is naturally visible.
Personal progress is a vertical comparison. If a horizontal comparison is made, Jiahui and Zhou Ruosen must still be far ahead of everyone. After all, one of them has memories of previous lives, and the other has a family background.
"Take these two documents back, translate them within a week and show them to me."
Jiahui and Zhou Ruosen each took a copy, opened it and read it, it was an academic paper.
Since it is academic, it naturally involves a lot of technical terms. After that, Jiahui went to the library every day to find information, and strived to complete it with perfection.
In this way, Jiahui finally finished before the deadline after a week of burning lights.
When the translation assignment was handed over to the professor, the professor asked them to sit across from each other and read their translations.
Jiahui felt that she was back in elementary school, and she was very nervous when the teacher was grading homework. This nervousness stemmed from the fear of the teacher's disappointment and denial, and the fear that she would not do well and fail to meet the teacher's expectations.
While flipping through the pages, the professor occasionally wrote a few words on the paper and drew a circle. After nearly half an hour, the inspection of the two translation materials was completed.
The professor put the materials on the desk, put his hands together, looked at them and said, "I have finished reading your homework, tell me, how do you think you have completed it?"
Jiahui and Zhou Ruosen looked at each other, and Zhou Ruosen said first, "I think what I have done is not bad. I went to the steel factory to find out this information, and it is very realistic."
The professor nods.
"Yes, your translation is really good. If you say 100 points, you can give you 90 points. There are still 10 points deducted, but the explanation is not precise enough. This is a foreign research report. The technology of foreign countries is more advanced than that of our country. It is faster than our country, and many foreign technologies are not available in our country, and you have no way to inspect this part of the translation, so there will naturally be discrepancies."
The professor's words were very pertinent, and Zhou Ruosen understood what the professor meant after listening.
"Yes, I should be more rigorous."
After commenting on Zhou Ruosen's homework, the professor turned his attention to Jiahui.
"Jiahui, how do you think your homework is done?"
After going through the translation materials in her mind, Jiahui said, "I think I still have some inadequacies in the translation. When it comes to professional fields, I still don't understand. Although I have checked a lot of materials, it may not be enough. rigorous."
The professor smiled, "You're quick to admit your mistakes. I'll give you ninety-five points for your translation."
Both of them were considered qualified, and the professor arranged a new translation job, and told them directly that if the translation was adopted, they could get the manuscript fee.
The country is in the stage of waiting to be rebuilt, eagerly demanding the science and technology of developed countries, and there is a great demand for translation work. As a professor and scholar of the English Department, many people come to ask him to translate, but a person's energy is limited. Even if you have three heads and six arms, you can't be too busy.
Now that the two favorite students have passed the assessment, they can completely take charge of their own work, and he will be the last checker after the translation.

"I'm going on a long trip tomorrow."
Zhao Donglin told Jiahui about this when he came back from school that day.
"Where to go?"
"It may take ten days and half a month for the professor to take us on a study tour."
The professor said that it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books.
In December last year, at the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee held by the Party Central Committee, the leaders put forward the policy of "internal reform and external opening".
Then, newspapers and radio reports reported that Xiaogang Village, Fengyang County, Anhui Province implemented a household contract responsibility system of "dividing land to households and responsible for their own profits and losses". The curtain of reform.
In cities, the independent management rights of state-owned enterprises have also been significantly improved.
The whole society is in the midst of a huge social change. Professors don't want to talk on paper, but want to take the students out for a walk. Only by seeing a lot can they think a lot.
"Don't miss me when you're at home."
Zhao Donglin is happy to go out to study abroad, the only unhappy thing is to be separated from his wife.
He hugged Jiahui who was folding clothes, wishing he could embed her in his arms.
"Who misses you?"
Jiahui pretended to push him, but she didn't use much strength in her hands.
Suddenly, Zhao Donglin picked up Jiahui, supported her thigh, and stared at her face with bright eyes.
It is no exaggeration to say that Jiahui could feel the wolf-like "green light" shooting out of his eyes.
"I have to pay the public food for this half month."
Jiahui's face was flushed, her breathing became rapid, she pursed her lips and gave him a sideways look, and said duplicity, "Who wants your public rations, you can keep it for yourself."
Zhao Donglin chuckled, he knew his wife too well, he never said forgiveness, but his heart was actually very soft.
Following his inner feelings, he lowered his head and held Jiahui's lips.
The husband and wife are kissing inseparably, and the voice of Fang Fang talking can be heard outside the house.
"Daddy, fish, fish!"
It turned out that when Zhao Donghe passed the fish soup when he came back from school, the pond owner happened to catch some fish. He saw that the snakehead was big and fresh, so he bought a big snakehead that weighed about ten catties and came back.
"Deng dong dong", Fang Fang pushed the door in and came in. Just as Jia Hui hurriedly pushed Zhao Donglin away, she jumped down from his arms and covered her hair by her ears. Zhao Donglin exhaled fiercely and cursed in a low voice, " This brat!"
With a blushing face, Jiahui glanced at him, and walked out of the room holding Fangfang's hand.
Fang Fang looked up at his mother, wondering why his mother's face was so red, it was very similar to Guan Gong's red face that his brother told him.
Jiahui cut the fish fillets, made a big pot of pickled fish, stewed fish bones, and cooked fish soup noodles with the fish bones removed. The whole family was sweating hot after eating.
"It's delicious, I'll buy it next time I see it."
"Don't buy it too often, just eat it once or twice."
A fish costs only a few yuan. Zhang Qiaoer is used to living a hard life, and now the food at home is already very good, so she can't eat big fish and meat every day, and make the children's mouths tricky.
"Grandma, it's okay. Everything my aunt cooks is delicious. We will never be picky eaters."
"That's right, the tofu cooked by my mother is better than others. It's tender and fragrant, and it tastes great."
Jiahui smiled and took a piece of fish for Yingbao, and suddenly felt that someone's leg touched her under the table. Jiahui gave way once, thinking that someone was careless, who knew that the other party's leg touched her again afterwards.
Jiahui looked over calmly, judging from the color of the trousers, it turned out to be Zhao Donglin, and at this time Zhao Donglin was eating in a serious manner.
In the evening, Zhao Donglin did what he said, he ate up Jiahui and paid enough public rations. After the fierce battle, Jiahui lay in his arms.
"What's going on with you while eating, don't pay attention to the impact at all."
Zhao Donglin hugged Jiahui, pressed his lips against her forehead, and said softly, "You didn't feel it, I called it 'eating tofu'."
Jiahui suddenly felt speechless.
