She Only Cares About Cultivation

In their understanding, being a farmer is very hard work, but for An Yi, it is extremely enjoyable.

Although teachers have many holidays, due to teaching tasks, they often have to get up early and work late. Moreover, in this era, a week consists of six days of classes and just one day of rest.

The director also made it clear to her that political reviews and evaluations are mandatory procedures. Even if she agrees now, she must obtain a Teacher Qualification Certificate first. After getting the certificate, she would still be considered a temporary worker. To enter the organization system, she must pass a series of rigorous evaluations to become a formal worker.

The state has high moral standards for teachers. Not everyone can become a teacher, especially someone like her who didn’t even finish high school, is over thirty, and is a mature-aged teacher. Inviting her is one thing, but they won’t go easy on her when it comes to evaluations.

"During the temporary worker period, the basic salary is ten thousand yuan, and if there are overtime class fees, each class costs 5,000 yuan. Besides, water and electricity accommodation deductions will be made, and the cafeteria will provide some subsidy for staple food, but the bulk still has to be self-funded. Monthly, one probably ends up with ten thousand yuan or so, assuming there are many overtime classes."

She had no concept of these tens of thousands of wages and could only use formulas to fit this.

Fifty thousand yuan can buy forty jin of rice. According to the 1955 second set RMB conversion method, a jin of rice costs 16 cents, so forty jin is 6 yuan and 4 cents. Ten thousand yuan is only 12 yuan and 8 cents, not even 15 yuan. Even with additional classes, after various deductions, saving 20 thousand yuan doesn’t seem enough to support her children, right?

Working hard for a month, while bearing various responsibilities, no longer needs the greatness of An Yi. After slightly calculating this account, she no longer wanted to participate.

However, the director threw out a lure: "As long as you can pass the formal worker examination, you can directly establish residency. Then you can also participate in housing distribution and various benefits."

An Yi looked down at An Ran, then thought about the various honors brought by passing the formal worker examination, and the children’s starting point. No matter how it compares, it seems better than staying in Liujiatun, but she still felt during turbulent times, rural areas are the safest places.

She didn’t lack money and was confident she could raise An Ran, but the residency issue was indeed a troublesome matter.

During this era, city and rural living conditions are advantageous for rural people. City people’s advantages lie in being more meticulous than rural people. Rural people have an advantage in being able to grow something randomly; as long as people are not lazy, without natural disasters or man-made calamities, they surely won’t starve. But in urban areas, if a month’s wage isn’t issued, it’s only manageable if there are savings. Heavy household burdens might result in having nothing to cook.

This era almost never sees the buying and selling of houses except in rare cases, unless one is lucky enough to encounter someone leaving to sell an old house.

She never considered settling in the city before. Naturally, she didn’t think about buying a house, but now, isn’t she being too selfish?

Perhaps she should be determined to continue burning like a candle, shining and giving warmth?

She has even served as a professor at Huaqing, so being a mere junior high school teacher shouldn’t be difficult, should it?

Just as she was hesitating, Liang Tian calmly said a sentence.

"Remember, Merit Value. Don’t always think about the tumultuous times. So many teachers have suffered hardships, ultimately, numbers are limited, aren’t they?"

An Yi pressed her lips: "You also know that those years of mine, many can’t be verified. What if someone randomly accuses me..."

"Experiencing it isn’t a bad thing either." An Yi screamed incredulously: "What did you say? Experience it? Is this thing something you can casually experience?"
