Chapter 40 Asking for information

Deciding to inquire about the news, Wen Xin and Wang Yumei decided to go at night while the iron was hot.

Seeing that it was getting dark outside, the two of them planned to leave. Taking three pounds of brown sugar and a can of malted milk, the money for these items was shared equally among the four of them. After all, they made the decision together.

Wen Xin was really a little scared to go out with a smear campaign, mainly because the villagers were resting at home at this time, so she dared to go out.

Wang Yumei saw that Wen Xin was a little stiff and thought she was afraid of the dark, so she took her hand and walked forward together.

Nowadays, electric lights are not widely used. Most people do not light lights at night in their homes. The rich ones light kerosene lamps. So it’s basically moonlight outside.

Fortunately, the moonlight is very good tonight, so we can still see the road clearly.

The journey went smoothly. We arrived at the brigade leader's house and knocked on the door. A child opened the door.

"Who are you looking for?" The child looked at the two of them and asked.

"Let's find the captain. Is he at home?" Looking at the child, Wen Xin felt a little cute. He took a few White Rabbit toffees from his pocket and handed them to him.

"I'm at home, come in." The child was a little embarrassed, so he only took one and ran away.

He walked in and started shouting, "Grandma, someone is here, looking for grandpa."

The people inside heard the shouting and came out.

"What's the matter with you?" The captain's wife grabbed her grandson and looked at the two people who had just entered the door.

"Grandma, that sister also gave me candy." As he said that, the child opened his mouth to show his grandma.

The captain's wife couldn't help but laugh, and nodded his forehead, "You must brush your teeth and rinse your mouth before going to bed, otherwise your teeth will be eaten by bugs."

The child covered his mouth as if he was frightened and shook his head repeatedly.

Wen Xin looked at the people in front of her and said warmly, "We are newly arrived educated youths. We came here to be taken care of by the captain. I would like to thank you. My name is Wen Xin."

Wang Yumei also quickly followed, "Yes, thanks to the captain for taking care of me, let's take a look. My name is Wang Yumei."

After saying that, Wen Xin put the things on the table.

Looking at the things on the table and then at the two of them, the captain's wife knew that she was looking for an excuse to ask about the school teacher. I couldn't come earlier or later, so I just found this time.

The brigade captain's wife smiled warmly on her face, "Hey, isn't this the right thing to do to take care of you? You guys came all the way here, come, sit down quickly, I'll pour you some water, and I'll call your uncle over."

After saying that, the captain's wife poured two cups of brown sugar water.

Wen Xin and Wang Yumei sat down and watched Aunt Lin go in to call for someone.

The child was also sitting on the side, chewing candy in his mouth, and his eyes were wandering around the two people.

"What's your name?" Wen Xin asked.

The child's eyes widened slightly, "My name is Mu Mu."

Wang Yumei also smiled, "Mumu, you look so cute."

Mu Mu felt a little embarrassed when he heard the compliments on him.

Wen Xin grabbed a few more candies from her pocket and stuffed them into Mu Mu's pocket, and said, "I'll give you these candies to keep for later. Don't eat too much at once, okay?"

Mu Mu felt the weight of the toffee in his pocket and nodded heavily, "I know, thank you Sister Wen." He just remembered the names of his two sisters.

Wen Xin touched Mu Mu's head.

The captain's wife came in and saw the captain half lying on the bed. She came up and said, "Two of the educated youths came. They said they came to thank you for taking care of you and brought something. I guess it was about the school teacher." of."

The captain raised his eyelids and sat up, "Are you a new educated youth? I'll go take a look."

Coming out of the back room, the captain saw three people sitting at the table, one of whom was his grandson.

Mu Mu was the first to see his grandfather coming out and shouted, "Grandpa, get up, these two sisters are here to find you."

The captain looked at the candy in his grandson's mouth and the things on the table, and he knew it well, "Grandpa knows, you go and play."

When Mu Mu heard this, he nodded and went out.

Seeing the captain coming, the two stood up and talked.

"Captain, your grandson is really obedient and smart. He will definitely have a future." Wen Xin looked at Mu Mu's back and praised him.

The captain laughed loudly when he heard this, "Hahahahahahaha, I'm borrowing the words of an educated youth from Xiao Wen, I'm still a little baby, I can't tell anything."

Although he spoke modestly, there was a smile that couldn't be hidden on his face.

Wear it a thousand times, but flattery never wears it. What's more, you still praise your children to their parents. Wen Xin's words hit the point.

Wen Xin saw that the atmosphere was okay, and continued, "We have been here for a while. Thanks to the captain for taking care of us during this period, I have free time tonight to come and see the captain."

The captain didn't know what he was thinking, but he said, "This is just a heretic. You have come all the way to the countryside to build the countryside. We should take care of you."

Wen Xin continued, "The captain is the one who has the consciousness. It's really amazing. I heard that many brigade teams are trying to run the school but haven't been able to get it yet. It's up to you to take action."

The captain understood it in his heart, and said without any pain or itch, "It's because our team has a good position, so we take advantage of it."

Seeing how the captain looked like an old fox, Wen Xin decided to give it directly.

"Captain, to be honest, we are here today because we also want to ask about the specific situation of recruiting teachers."

The captain's expression paused and he said, "Don't worry, Xiaowen educated youth, there will definitely be no problem in recruiting teachers. I don't have the right to make the decision. This is all decided by the town."

When Wen Xin heard this, she began to think, does this mean that the village will not intervene in the recruitment of teachers? That means everything from test questions to reading papers to announcing the results are decided by the people in the town?

The brigade captain added, "Isn't this the first school among our brigade? The town leaders attach great importance to it and send someone to take charge of this matter. I don't even know who will be in charge now."

When Wen Xin heard this, she understood in her heart that the town would ensure fairness to the greatest extent when it comes to recruiting teachers. There would be no leaking of questions here, after all, he didn't know who would give the questions or who it would be. Come to invigilate the exam.

That's no problem.

Wen Xin smiled and said, "It's really disturbing the captain. We are here to seek peace of mind, so we won't disturb your rest. We will go back first."

After saying that, he planned to get up and leave.

Seeing that they were planning to leave, the captain quickly said, "Take this thing back, it won't do you any good."

Wen Xin and Wang Yumei hurriedly waved their hands, "No, we just came to see you. I want to express my gratitude to you. Let's go."

The captain said this as a courtesy. If Wen Xin and Wang Yumei really agreed, it would be a big deal.

After the two of them went out, the captain's wife came out of the back room. He looked at what he had brought and said, "Oh, this is really good stuff."
