Rebirth in 1998 is also a kind of life

It was a matter of a man's dignity, and it took Yang Zhu a lot of effort to convince the two animals in front of him that he really didn't have a "no way". topic.

"Eh? Carrot, do you want to borrow 4 yuan?" Yang Zhu looked at his brother with some surprise, but turned his eyes away from Li Qiaoqiao who was beside him.

Yang Zhu is naturally very clear about his brother's temperament, so when he appointed the general manager of the bamboo shoot processing factory through Lin Keran, he made it clear that the bamboo shoot processing factory does not take the pursuit of profit as the first priority. Rather, it needs to take on more social responsibilities; in addition, "cooperating" with Zhang Mengping's daily work is its top priority.

For this reason, Lin Keran also specifically explained that if there is an "emergency", the general manager of the bamboo shoot factory can immediately transfer a special fund from the account. As long as the fund is not particularly large, there is no need to even report to the Hope Group. prepare.

And as far as he knows, in the past year, the bamboo shoot factory has made donations in various names to support the daily work of his brothers; as the deputy general manager of the bamboo shoot factory, Li Qiaoqiao has no reason not to see the cats in it. road;

So...for a mere 4 yuan, my brother had to open his mouth at me, what's going on?

However, seeing Li Qiaoqiao's faltering expression, Yang Zhu didn't ask any questions on the spot. After all, the other party was already his brother's woman, and he had to save some necessary face.

Seeing that he didn't answer for a while, Zhang Mengping thought that this matter was beyond Yang Zhu's ability, so he scratched his head: "Well... if you don't have that much money, you can do less, as much as you can support me, right?" .”

Yang Zhu shook his head: "My brothers have already opened their mouths, so the money is naturally not a problem; but, what are you going to do with the radish money? I mean... Is this 4 yuan really enough?"

Being a man for two lifetimes, he knows his brother's temperament very well, it's perfectly normal for this guy to "eat and ask for cards" to his friends on weekdays;

But when it comes to borrowing money from friends... Unless there is something important happening at home, or something that makes him feel that he must help, this guy will never open his mouth.

And as far as he knew, Luobo's parents were in very good health, and there must have been no major emergencies in the family that needed money urgently; then the reason for asking him to borrow money was obvious-this guy's compassion was offended again.

However, currently 4 yuan may be a huge sum of money for individuals, but if it is used for other purposes, it may not be enough; therefore, Yang Zhu asked those words based on the principle of helping to the end.

Seeing Yang Zhu's rich and powerful appearance, Zhang Mengping looked at him in surprise—it seems that his brother is really not short of money!

But this is also good, borrowing money from a local tyrant, at least his psychological burden will be much less.

He let out a long sigh of relief: "It seems that you have made a lot of money in the past two years! If possible, the more money the better - if you can lend me 10, that would be great!"

"As for the use of this money..."

Speaking of this, Zhang Mengping scratched his head and asked back: "Yang Zhu, do you know that there is such a group of [top-post teachers] in the countryside of our country?"

Ok?

When Yang Zhu heard this very historical term, he was a little dazed.

........................

"Post-post teachers" are also called "substitute teachers", and earlier they were called "private teachers"-as the name suggests, they are teachers without establishment.

From this perspective, there is nothing wrong with calling them "temporary teachers".

People in later generations may not have much impression and cognition of this group;

But let's put it this way...

Before college graduates have been involved to a certain extent, and college student volunteer teaching has not become popular, these post teachers are the real cornerstone of China's rural education and a banner deep in the mountains; it can be said that more than 70% of China's The post-80s and post-90s, in elementary school and some middle school, are actually brought out by them.

It's just that the side-views of these groups in later generations of online media are not so positive and positive-some people often make fun of such words as "low education", "poor teaching level", and "can't even speak Mandarin well". These post teachers; a little more radical, even use adjectives such as "misleading students" to attack them.

In fact, the academic qualifications of these top teachers are indeed not high.

They were born in the 50s/60s/70s, when the college entrance examination was still full of troops and horses crossing the single-plank bridge, and even before returning to the college entrance examination era, the highest education was just a high school graduate—in fact, the mainstream education among these teachers It is junior high school, and even in many places, the situation of "primary school graduates teaching primary schools" has appeared.

however……

How many people in the future generations are willing to think about how many "chosen ones" are willing to go deep into the mountains and spend decades with poverty and mosquitoes in that era when college students are extremely scarce, just to teach a lot of money. Elementary school students who are often dragged by their parents to herd cattle and mow grass, and have an average class time of less than 20 class hours per week?

If future generations talk about Mr. Zhang Guimei, they will naturally give their thumbs up, for this national scholar who has been plagued by illness for decades, but still devotes every cent of money and all his heart and soul to Huaping Girls Middle School. convinced;

But in fact, it is these top teachers who really stick to the front line of rural education and faithfully implement the policy of "rejuvenating the country through education"—and, besides, there are many touching stories among these people that make people cry.

I don’t know how many people still remember that middle-aged male teacher who spent all his salary every month and walked dozens of kilometers to buy flour for students, and suffered from all kinds of diseases for this?

I don’t know how many people still remember the old principal who, in spite of his family’s opposition, still sticks to the elementary school with only one student and insists on raising the flag by himself every week with a salary of tens of dollars a month ?

In addition, in order to pick up students to go to class, they were chased and beaten by their parents with sticks, but they were still "unrepentant" temporary teachers;

In order to get parents to agree to let their daughter go to school, a temporary teacher who takes the initiative to go to other people's homes to do housework after class every day;

Temporary teachers who pay for clothes, food, and stationery for students in order to keep students in class;

I don't know how many...

Even the descendants of Yang Zhu, when doing market surveys in some remote villages, have encountered the kind of people who went to the county town to move bricks on weekends, bought a lot of wool with their wages, and knitted gloves and earmuffs for students by themselves. Male teacher - the place is high above sea level, it is too cold in winter, and children are prone to chilblains.

After seeing these things, Yang Zhu finally believed... In this age of refined egoism, there are still a group of "fools" in this world.

However, beautiful things often exist in fairy tales, and "you will get what you pay for" is just a lie that cannot withstand scrutiny;

The salaries of these substitute teachers are so low that it makes people sad-in 2005, when the per capita monthly income of urban residents exceeded the 800 mark, the salary of these substitute teachers was only 40 yuan/month; Previously, the average salary of these substitute teachers was only 1200-1400 yuan/month (this is the real data in Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and Guangxi, and the rest of the places are not clear, but the difference is not likely to be very large).

In 2021, a teacher's salary is only 1200, and you have to use such a small amount of money to support a family, dare you believe it! ?

However, low wages are not the most frightening thing. The most frightening thing is... even if they have been working hard for 30 to [-] years, even if they are about to retire, they still don't have a staff.

Since there is no establishment, when a large number of young teachers enter the front-line education positions in rural areas, what awaits them is not retirement, but... elimination and layoffs.

According to a report read by Yang Zhu's later generations, some teachers who were eliminated and laid off from their jobs could not find a way out after being laid off because they were out of touch with the outside world for a long time; After tens of thousands of yuan in pension insurance, wait until the age of 60, and then spend the rest of your life on a meager pension;

As for the pension after the age of 60?

Yang Zhu has a very deep memory of the dazzling number in that report - 355.48 yuan!

God knows how Yang Zhu felt when he saw that number.

In the report, when the teacher who had been on the post for more than 20 years faced the camera, the words he said with a lonely face made Yang Zhu feel even more sad.

He says……

"There is no way, we are destined to be eliminated by the times!"

………………

Taking a deep breath, Yang Zhu looked at Zhang Mengping indifferently: "I know a little about this group and their current situation; what I want to know now is...whether you took the 4 yuan in private or directly To subsidize them, or to use it for something else?"

Luo Bo sighed: "Yang Zhu, I originally wanted to find some name in private to directly subsidize them. After all, I work at the grassroots level every day. No one knows the hard work and dedication of these top teachers better than me, and they are too difficult. With a salary of more than 30 yuan a month, even the poverty-stricken households in the village are better than them, and each of them is plagued by diseases. If you really find out some serious diseases, what do you ask them to do!?"

"However, later I thought about it clearly. The so-called teaching a man to fish is not as good as teaching him to fish;"

"Not to mention whether direct subsidies will make them feel that their self-esteem will be damaged; compared to the current situation in grassroots rural areas, I am actually more worried about their unemployment;"

"Therefore, I plan to find a name for the 4 yuan, gather more than 100 temporary teachers from more than 50 administrative villages in several townships, and give them a one-to-two-year business intensive training;"

"In this way, even if the county starts to [withdraw points and merge schools], as long as they pass the teaching ability assessment, they will still be kept—even if they can't stay, as long as their level improves, I will ask someone at worst. The county helped them get a coaching job."

"Of course, if they get good grades in the assessment, it would be even better if they can get a diploma in adult education and help them find a staff!"

Withdraw and merge! ?

Yang Zhu frowned. The remote mountainous areas in the south of Yunnan are not as good as the Central Plains and the inner regions. Is the merger of schools going to be implemented in Zhenxiong so soon?

………………

It stands to reason that Yang Zhu, who is mainly involved in business, doesn't care much about rural education policies on weekdays, and he probably doesn't know much about things like withdrawing schools and merging schools.

But there is no way, who told him that there are not many stars he admires, and there are only one or two fans, but the "only solar black" Principal Gu is one of them?

Ok……

This matter has to start with an article in later generations accusing Principal Gu of "engaging in fake charity".

The general content of the article is that, although President Gu worked hard to donate more than 100 primary schools in rural areas, he did not care about the subsequent use and operation of these schools; In the final analysis, these charitable acts are nothing more than trying to gain fame and maintain his popularity.

At first glance, this article does not look like a deliberate black principal, because the article links to a video. The blogger in the video visited a certain rural elementary school named "Hongguang Gutianle Primary School" and found that the school only used ten The school, which was less than a year old, has already been emptied, and it was closed in 2018, leaving only the overgrown ground and various abandoned facilities, which looks a bit empty.

Since there is indeed video evidence, even fans who believe in Principal Gu will inevitably lack confidence and become suspicious.

However, Yang Zhu is different from other fans. Having been in the society for a long time, he firmly believes in the truth that "seeing is not necessarily believing". So when one of his subordinates went to the countryside to set the tone, he casually gave him the opportunity to ask about this matter. .

After the subordinate came back, the answer he got was that many primary schools donated by Principal Gu were abandoned, but this was not because of deceit or lack of care, but because... those primary schools were not enough. The children who came to study had to be forced to shut down.

And when it comes to the source of students in rural primary schools, we have to mention a term-withdrawing points and merging schools.

In fact, in the 90s and [-]s, each of the country's Hope Primary Schools had a sufficient number of students, ranging from a few hundred to over a hundred;

However, with the acceleration of China's urbanization process, a large number of young and middle-aged people in rural areas have moved into cities with their families, and the source of rural students has also begun to decline precipitously (corresponding to this, the country has begun to cut down townships and merge villages);

Therefore, in order not to waste the limited financial budget, and to improve the utilization rate and teaching level of the already scarce rural teachers, since the beginning of the 21st century, the country has begun to withdraw some schools and merge them. There are only dozens of students in the school, and the smallest primary school has only 7 students.

You must know that too few students are not necessarily a good thing for children, and the atmosphere of the semester is not to be discussed; in order to achieve a balance between teaching and students' housework and farm work, many schools have to adopt the method of mixing all students regardless of grades. teaching methods;

In fact, teachers at the grassroots level in rural areas are very scarce. One teacher is often used as several. He not only teaches a few languages, but also teaches politics, history and geography.

Under such circumstances, at the beginning of the 21st century, the country began a large-scale action of withdrawing schools and merging schools, merging village-level schools with no students into large township-level or county-level schools.

However, in this way, although students and families will face the trouble of living in school, they will not worry about having no books to read, and the learning atmosphere and teaching quality will be directly upgraded to a higher level;

But for teachers, especially post teachers, it is not all good news;

Very simple, given the current situation of rural hollowing out, after large-scale withdrawal and school merger, there will be a surplus of rural teacher resources that were originally scarce in some areas (of course, except for mountain villages with particularly remote or precipitous locations. );

Under such circumstances, "competition for posts" is unavoidable - but most of the post-job teachers, especially those who have worked for more than ten years and have entered the middle age, have low academic qualifications and no professional education and training. Compared with those professional teachers or university teaching teachers, their competitiveness is not at all competitive, so the situation is quite serious.

But to be fair, these post-post teachers are not without their merits—compared with those professional teachers who have been teaching in township and county-level universities for a long time, they who have worked in village-level schools for more than ten years are more patient. It is better and understands the difficulties of rural students and the helplessness of the families behind them.

You know, in Yang Zhu's view, this kind of characteristic of knowing the cold and knowing the warmth is much more important than the so-called professional knowledge;

After all, in this era of rapid development, knowledge is not particularly important after entering the society - after all, the future knowledge iteration speed is extremely fast, and the status quo of "obsolete after learning" widely exists in various industries;

In contrast, a studious, tenacious, hard-working and non-aggressive personality is one of the core competitions for future talents;

In particular, the point of "no hostility" is simply too scarce in the future society, and this is one of the important factors to gain the trust of others, and it is also related to the trend of the entire social atmosphere.

Therefore, from Yang Zhu's point of view, it is simply a embarrassing thing for these top post teachers to lose their jobs because they have suffered from professional knowledge;

What's more, one must be kind and honest, from Yang Zhu's point of view... these top teachers are the debtors of the times;

Huaxia owes too much to these grassroots educators who work silently!

………………

Taking a deep breath, Yang Zhu shook his head: "Carrot, I support you in this business training business!"

"But... [-] is not enough!"

Hearing this, Zhang Mengping looked at Yang Zhu in astonishment,

Yu Xiaohua even rolled his eyes - 4 yuan!This is not enough! ?Could it be that you still plan to borrow [-] carrots?Could it be that he surfs the Internet too hard on weekdays, thinking that he is like other people, with a per capita income of one million?

Seeing a few people looking at him in astonishment, Yang Zhu just smiled: "I think this is a good thing; since it is a good thing, it is worth promoting - if it is only limited to the few townships covered by the radish business, Isn't it a bit of a waste?"

Carrot took a deep breath: "Then what do you mean...?"

Yang Zhu laughed: "What to do, at least cover the entire Zhenxiong County, and even the entire Zhaotong area!"

"As for the cost, you don't have to worry about it!"

"It's just that it's not appropriate for you, a public official, to pay for this matter, and it's easy to be criticized; so, I'll bring you a company to donate directly in the name of public welfare for a long time-an annual fee of 200 million is for individuals Although it is a huge sum of money, it is nothing to the enterprise!"

Hiss~~! !

200 million! ?

Luobo looked at Yang Zhu in disbelief. You know, unlike road construction and bamboo shoot processing, this money can't be spent alone. Which company is so stupid and willing to be taken advantage of?

Yang Zhu looked at his expression, just smiled, and then took out his mobile phone and dialed a number: "Hey, Assistant Wan, do you have time today? Come out and get together, I want to ask you for a favor!"
