The Big Landlord

The stars were dotted and the crescent moon hung on the branches. Accompanied by the chirping of frogs and insects, I enjoyed my first dinner in my new house. After lying on the soft sofa and watching a TV series leisurely, I was dragged by Linglong eagerly and walked towards On the second floor, the first night of sleep in the new home begins.

Arriving at the third room on the left, Linglong raised her pinky little finger, pointed at the bed filled with dolls, and said with a smile: "Brother Benzi, let's sleep in this room from now on."

From wallpapers, bedding, to fabric sofas, they are all white with pink floral patterns, and there are cute fluffy skirts inlaid around the fabrics, which are full of innocence and innocence, and are paired with white porcelain-colored wardrobes, tables and chairs. The whole room looks simple and bright, yet warm and natural.

This is a boudoir specially designed by Wang Ben for Linglong alone. From today on, he will let this girl truly learn to grow up and become independent.

After gently rubbing the little girl's dark and thick hair twice, Wang Ben smiled slightly and said: "This room will be yours from now on, go to bed quickly."

"Well..." Linglong understood instantly, pouted and said unhappily, "I want to sleep with Brother Benzi."

Ben leaned over and held the exquisite little hand. Wang Ben patiently advised: "You are eight years old and a little adult. It's time to learn to sleep alone. Do you think any child in the team is still clingy at this age? You If you don’t have a good relationship with Niuniu, she has been sleeping on her own since she was three years old.”

"But, I'm afraid," Linglong said hesitantly, and the comparison between children could not resist the fear in her heart.

"Don't be afraid, my brother is sleeping in the next room," Wang Ben said encouragingly, pointing to the bedroom in the middle.

"Well..." Linglong struggled in her heart for a while, then opened her eyes wide and begged, "Then I'll take Benben to sleep with me."

What's the point of leading a pig to sleep on the bed? Of course Wang Ben didn't want to. He pointed at the pile of dolls on the bed and said, "Look, there are so many cute bears and puppies. You can just hug one and sleep with it."

"Oh..." The last condition was also rejected, Linglong pursed her lips and the boss was not happy.

After much persuasion, he finally coaxed the little girl to bed and promised to stay with her until she fell asleep. Only then did Wang Ben gently pull away the tightly held hand and leave happily.

I was lying on the bed tossing and turning, but I still felt uneasy. I fell asleep in a daze until midnight, and then sneaked to the door to take a look.

"Mumbling..."

Linglong, who was fast asleep, murmured softly twice and was hugging a soft bear doll tightly, sleeping very sweetly.

Worrying was really in vain. Wang Ben couldn't help but smile with satisfaction. It seemed that the first step in Loli's independent growth was achieved.

The next morning, Wang Ben got on his motorcycle and went out. The classroom at home had been repaired, and full-time teachers had to be appointed as soon as possible.

The people he was looking for were not senior teachers with high professional titles and high qualifications, nor people who graduated from Zhengerba Normal School, but unemployed private teachers in the village.

For a long time, private teachers and public teachers have had different pay for equal work, and their salaries have been very low. Although the Education Committee is working hard to improve it, this is a long and arduous project that cannot be completely solved in the short term, especially on October 1, 1993. After the daily wage reform, the gap has further widened, and there is no guarantee.

Not only that, as the number of graduates from secondary normal schools increases year by year, the position of private teachers is gradually being replaced and they have to sit idle at home. Among them, there are many good teachers with rich experience and first-class teaching skills. It is a pity to put down the teaching staff and pick up the hoe.

In front of an ordinary house,

A woman of about forty years old held a sickle in her hand and carried a basket on her back and was about to go out. Wang Ben hurriedly jumped off his motorcycle, ran forward quickly, gave a student salute in a polite manner, and called out cordially: "Teacher Li good!"

He took out the prepared gifts and put them naturally into Teacher Li's basket. This Teacher Li was the first person he was looking for, his teacher when he went to the village primary school. He had not seen this teacher in six years. I am a teacher. Since I graduated from primary school at the age of twelve, due to various reasons, I have never been to a village primary school again.

As early as the collective era, Teacher Li, who was only a teenager at the time, had been teaching elementary school in Hetai Village after graduating from high school. In order to continue teaching the children in the village, she chose to marry someone from the same village. Last year, the village assigned two As a graduate of a middle school normal school, she lost her job because of this. This teacher who had been teaching for more than 20 years, had taught several graduating classes, and trained many good students, could only farm at home.

"It's Wang Ben, he's grown so tall!" After carefully identifying it for a while, Teacher Li smiled kindly and reached out to help Wang Ben gently pat the barmao flowers that accidentally got on his body on the road. He looked more like a kind mother. ah!

"Yeah!" Wang Ben nodded vigorously, pursed his lips and smiled, standing motionless, feeling warm in his heart.

After a while, after Teacher Li finished helping him, he asked: "Teacher, where are you going?"

"I'm going out to cut pig grass," Teacher Li said with a slight smile. "I won't teach anymore, but I still have to live."

"Teacher, do you still want to teach?" Wang Ben asked tentatively.

"Haha," Teacher Li laughed twice and did not answer, but it was obvious that she was thinking that she wanted to stand on the podium where she had dedicated all her youth and hard work again, and continue to dance in a life accompanied by blackboards and chalk.

"I would like to ask the teacher to continue teaching," Wang Ben finally plucked up the courage and invited solemnly.

"Really?" Teacher Li asked doubtfully.

"There are just a few students. There is only one for the time being, and he only takes one course, and he only has half a day to work every day." Wang Ben scratched the back of his head, laughed sheepishly, and quickly added, "But there will definitely be more and more in the future. The more.”

"Well..." After listening to Wang Ben's story, Teacher Li pondered for a while and said, "Okay, anyway, I don't have much to do, so I just move around."

Unexpectedly, he agreed so simply and didn't even talk about money yet. Wang Ben was stunned for a moment, but he still brought up this difficult topic, "The salary is 800 per month, teacher, what do you think?"

"How can we use so much!" Teacher Li hurriedly waved her hand and refused. Even for public elementary school teachers with the same teaching experience as her, the salary plus benefits is only four to five hundred at best, which is really too much.

"Teacher, I always listened to you before, but today I have the final say," Wang Ben said with a smile.

After some persuasion and finally convincing Teacher Li, Wang Ben found two other people, one of whom was a private kindergarten teacher, and finally decided on the division of labor. Teacher Li would teach Chinese, the other would teach mathematics, and the kindergarten teacher would teach music, Art, dance and other interest-building courses.

The teacher was finally found, and the problem of the three private teachers was temporarily solved. Wang Ben was very satisfied and hoped that Linglong could successfully accept her studies and grow up quickly.

When Youyou returned home, before she could park her motorcycle, a chirping noise floated into her ears.

"Benzi, how dare you run outside when I'm back!"

Zijian is such a brat, but he is finally willing to show his face.
