Qiuping had to ask the man in the street who was doing business. The man heard that he was a new teacher, but he was very enthusiastic about giving Qiuping directions. If I know that I'm just a substitute, I wonder if she will be so enthusiastic. Qiu Ping thought in her heart.
Asked about the way, Qiuping and Jiang Dali took their luggage to Xianghe Town Central Primary School.
At the gate of the school, Qiu Ping said to Jiang Dali, "Mom, wait for me here. It's a waste of effort to move so many things around."
When Jiang Dali saw that Qiu Ping was right, she readily agreed.
Today is the day for children to sign up. Qiuping sees some children cleaning and some moving books. Everyone's face is beaming. Yes, I haven't seen my classmates for so long. I should be happy to see them today. But these days are the most difficult days for Qiu Ping.
Qiuping led a child to ask the direction of the headmaster's office, and then went there. After walking to the headmaster's office, Qiuping saw five people sitting there for a meeting. She stood outside the door and waited.
After waiting about forty minutes, the meeting finally ended. When the four people came out, Qiuping smiled timidly at them. One of the male teachers, aged about 40, asked Qiuping, "Who are you looking for?"
"I am a substitute teacher. I want to find President Zhou."
"Oh, President Zhou is inside. Go ahead."
"Thank you!"
Walking into the headmaster's office, Qiu Ping introduced herself: "Hello, headmaster Zhou, I'm Fang Qiuping. I came to Lanshan Primary School as a substitute."
"Hello, Mr. Fang, we were thinking about you just now! Please sit down!" This headmaster Zhou is about forty years old. Her hair is tied in a bun at the back of her head, and she wears a treasure blue suit. She is a smart and capable headmistress.
"Just now, your headmaster Lin was complaining to me about the shortage of staff in his school and asked us to transfer another person. I told him that a teacher would come soon, but he didn't believe me. You can take his car later and go by the way." Then he asked, "Have you brought all your luggage?"
Qiu Ping nodded, "Here we are."
"OK, I'll take you to find President Lin. He will leave later. If you want to take a bus to Blue Mountain, you will have to wait for the afternoon." Then he walked out of the office first. Qiuping hurriedly follows.
On the ground floor of the teaching building, Qiu Ping sees two people moving books in a classroom. One is a young man about thirty years old, and the other is an old teacher about fifty years old. Principal Zhou said to the old teacher, "Old Lin, this is Teacher Fang Qiuping. She will teach in your Blue Mountain later. When you go back later, you can pick her up with you."
"Hello, President Lin, my name is Fang Qiuping, please."
"It doesn't matter. You can wait for a while, and it will be ready soon."
"Mr. Fang, wait here first. I have something to do. Let's go first." Principal Zhou said to Qiu Ping.
"OK. Thank you, President Zhou."
"You're welcome, goodbye," he said and hurried away.
"Principal Lin, can I help you?" Qiu Ping asked principal Lin, who was busy all the time.
"No, just these books will be ready soon." Principal Lin moved the books to a motorcycle tricycle parked at the door.
Qiuping looked at the tricycle. The driver was in the front of the tricycle and was helping to put the books in order. So Qiuping didn't find him when she came just now. There is a seat in the back row, and two people have to squeeze. It seems that mother can't go later. Qiu Ping thought in her heart.
Sure enough, after a while, President Lin put the book away. He asked Qiu Ping, "Where's your luggage?"
"At the school gate."
"Well, Master Chen, stop at the gate later. Let's take something to school." Principal Lin said to the tricycle driver.
When she came to the door, Jiang Dali still stood there guarding her luggage.
Qiuping got off the bus and said to her, "Mom, Principal Lin of Lanshan Primary School is moving books here, so I took his bus to the school, but this bus is too small to hold three people, so you can go back. Principal Lin and I will have no problem going there together."
When Jiang Dali heard Qiu Ping say she would go with the headmaster, she no longer worried. She carried her luggage onto the bus and watched Qiu Ping leave before she went to wait for the bus.
