She Only Cares About Cultivation

The so-called feed, what they eat are the outer skins removed after the space vegetables mature. For instance, peanuts only need the lower part, while the upper part is directly thrown to the cows.

Her space relies on this green cycle to sustain itself.

After finishing with the fields and the ranch, she must quickly prepare for classes. It’s been a few days since the last class, and she misses those little ones.

This time going into the City, she earned a total of five hundred and twenty thousand yuan, which sounds astronomical, but when exchanged into the Second set of currency, it’s just fifty-two yuan.

Don’t underestimate the purchasing power of the Second set of currency; it’s something the First set of coins can never match. However, you shouldn’t underestimate the contribution made by the First set of coins either.

Because during the war, the currencies were all scrambled. If you took Beisheng Province’s money to Yunan Province, you probably couldn’t even buy a single dumpling because the local people wouldn’t recognize it!

Each local currency was printed under the jurisdiction of different local governments, leading to chaotic situations. So, to unify the standards, currency was standardized after the establishment of New China.

The First Set of RMB was issued in 1949 and had fulfilled its mission by 1955, lasting only six years.

The Second set, however, spanned the longest period, from 1955 to 2007, totaling fifty-two years!

She spent two days sorting through the money at different times, selecting only what’s useful to her, with the useless pile set aside.

Based on the different printing entities, she collected thirty full sets, with about sixty million left over, sounding astronomical, right?

Next year, when exchanged into the second set, it will be six thousand yuan.

She has already thought it through; she absolutely cannot exchange it at the place of residence, as it would let people know how much money she has, so she plans to find multiple places for the exchange.

The new coins exchanged will be directly collected into sets, and maybe she can even find consecutive numbers.

Perhaps because the weather has warmed up, food in the fields has increased, Zhang Li and her child obviously look healthier than they did some time ago.

Mrs. Qian was scared off by her and hasn’t come to bother her since, so her daughter naturally retained her spot.

To deal with such evil people, one should do it like this.

Days passed by one by one like this. Half a month later, she directly passed the written test with outstanding results as the top scorer in the county. The interview is scheduled for July 15th and 16th. Thanks to her, Baijiawan Commune Primary School was named by the county, An Yi’s name became known among many in the education sectors. Apart from her beautiful handwriting, more people were lamenting why such a good educational talent was willing to stay in a village primary school teaching grades one, two, and three.

The principal has approached her more than once to complain, "Those people are out for blood. Whenever I attend a meeting, they ask me to give them people. What’s wrong with village primary schools? Can’t village primary schools retain people? Our Baijiawan has mountains and waters, it’s beautiful here. You must strive hard to give our village primary school dignity, so they stop looking down on us!"

Although saying that, in truth, the principal is also curious: "Given your great conditions, why choose to stay at our commune primary school? Why not go to the county? I think with your abilities, even if you go to the city or province to teach in the future, they’ll be eager to have you!"

"Everyone has their own aspirations. I think here is great. Why must I go to the city? It’s just me and my mom at home, with no other burdens. As long as we can survive, that’s enough for us!"

An Yi didn’t know, but because of her words, the principal went to talk to the commune’s team leader at night to discuss ways to keep her. Besides applying for the public teacher salary for An Yi, they also planned to give her half a share of work points. That means if the full work points are ten, she will get five. In this way, at the end of the year, she can get some grain.

At this time, the commune was not yet fully developed, having evolved from the mutual aid group along the way here, not a production commune in the true sense.

Real transformation was a turning point, happening after the big furnace steelmaking and communal dining.

There’s about half a month left until the interview. During this half month, besides daily classes and adjusting the schedule, she’s done plenty of preparation work.

Because the so-called interview is a public class, a true stage for demonstrating ability.

Even if she ranked first in the county for the written test, she couldn’t guarantee she would take first place in the public class, because amidst the strong, there’s always someone stronger.

Once she arrived at the county, she realized there were many testing rooms, and she alone occupied an entire morning.

The first class the interviewers let her teach wasn’t Chinese, but Calligraphy Class. After the calligraphy class ended, she rested for twenty minutes before directly entering the Chinese class.

After the Chinese class, the interviewer asked, "Choose another subject you can teach?"
