The golden age began in 1977

Chapter 68 Teacher Wei hooks up with the leader

Warm yellow light leaked from the windows of the Chengnan District People’s Night School.

The iron loudspeaker was dangling on the telephone pole outside the gate.
There was a light hanging on the bulletin board at the entrance. The yellowed model worker award certificate was damp in the glass frame, and the corners of the outstanding teacher commendation clippings were curled up, just like the calendar on the counter of the supply and marketing cooperative last year.

Qian Jin said, "I'll drop you off here. If you encounter any monsters or demons blocking your way, come find me."

"Don't I have to come to see you tomorrow? Because I have to help your colleague who misses college with tutoring." Wei Qinghuan smiled.

Then she thought about it and couldn't help asking the same question as the director of the Public Security Bureau:

"When did you record this?"

Qian Jin's answer at the police station was, "It happened that a passerby with a tape recorder passed by and saw them having a conflict, so he recorded it."

Because there was a stranger who came out and beat up the young hooligans, and both the young men and Wei Qinghuan saw that the other party did appear carrying a large tape recorder.

The director had no choice but to accept this statement.

Now, facing Wei Qinghuan's question, Qian Jin changed his explanation: "It must have been when I was confronting them."

"I attracted their attention and secretly arranged for someone to hide in the shadows and record the video."

"Class struggle needs to be discussed every day. How could I rashly help you settle the matter if I didn't have a backup plan?"

Wei Qinghuan couldn't help but admire: "You are really amazing."

Be brave, resourceful and resourceful!
Qian Jin's methods were beyond her imagination.

With the previous recording as evidence, the young men with crew cuts were convicted of being hooligans.

The slander made all their testimonies worthless, and the Public Security Bureau accepted the words of Qian Jin and Wei Qinghuan.

The young man with a crew cut kept shouting that he was innocent and that he did not burn the anthology, but how could the security guards believe him?
Even other gangsters don't believe it.

Because when Qian Jin burned the book with a lighter, he deliberately chose a tricky angle:
He used his body to block Wei Qinghuan behind him, while the young man with a crew cut blocked his companions' view with his body.

Another police station checked Qian Jin's bag and found neither lighter nor matches.

However, a kerosene lighter was found on the young man with a crew cut.

Even though the director of the public security bureau is his godfather, he can't protect him because Cheng Hua is still in the bureau.

These days, a small director can’t cover up everything.

So the director promised Qian Jin and the others that he would deal with these hooligans according to the law.

Qian Jin didn't believe him.

The director took away the tapes and the burned anthology as "evidence."

He guessed that the director would destroy the evidence and then put pressure on Cheng Hua to frame him again.

But he is not afraid.

He has a backup plan.

He hoped that the director would really do so, so that he could remove the director as well!

It was impossible to explain this to Wei Qinghuan, so Qian Jin waved goodbye and left.

Wild birds started flying inside the school gate.

Qian Jin felt that they seemed to have been startled and flew away, so he went to the door cautiously to look.

The flashlight beam swept over and saw four young men in baseball caps tearing off the night school schedule on the wall, while another was scribbling with lime water.

Sensing the beam, a young man turned around and shouted fiercely: "Shine your mother, do you want to die?"

Qian Jin put on a red armband and shouted, "The Public Security Bureau has received a report. Everyone, get down!"

Upon hearing this, the young men ran away.

Qian Jin was speechless: "Why is the school security so chaotic?"

Wei Qinghuan looked unsurprised: "Hasn't the school been in chaos for the past ten years?"

Qian Jin thought about it and said, "I'd better take you to the dormitory. You have to be careful."

The two walked side by side, the sound of their cloth shoes rubbing against the stone road resembled the sound of spring silkworms gnawing on mulberry leaves.

The night school dormitory is a bungalow. There are seven or eight work clothes hanging on the clothesline in front. The autumn wind blows them like a group of ghosts hanging in the air.

"Xiao Wei is back? Just right. Hey, Xiao Wei is back." A shrill female voice pierced the night.

Two young women appeared from a dormitory. One of them put her hands on her waist and asked:

"Where have you been? My Pechoin lipstick and Shanshan's vanishing cream are gone. Someone said you put on makeup before going out..."

Seeing his roommate Wei Qinghuan, his back instantly straightened.

Qian Jin saw that her earlobes had turned coral red, and she was obviously angry and embarrassed.

Tangyuan opened his arms and stood in front of Wei Qinghuan, his little mouth tightly pursed, with an expression of panic and stubbornness on his chubby little face.

Wei Qinghuan said, "I have a friend here. Teachers, please have some manners and don't bring shame upon yourselves and your profession."

"What's so shameful about us having our things stolen? It's the thieves who are shameful!" said the female teacher who pinched her waist.

Another female teacher named Shanshan also said, "Who are your friends? A gay man again? Teacher Wei, who among us is bringing shame to the teaching profession?"

Wei Qinghuan's face was full of boredom.

Seeing this, Qian Jin took out his flashlight and put on his red armband: "Did you lose something? Okay, I'm from the security team. Let's go to the security office to register and I'll ask my colleagues to find it for you."

He was using the tiger's skin as a banner and did not expect to scare the female teachers, but just hoped that they would be more obedient.

As a result, one of the three female teachers watching the excitement at the door trembled and stepped out hurriedly to look at Qian Jin carefully.

Then she quickly persuaded the two quarreling roommates: "Xiao Jiang, Shanshan, look carefully for the things you lost. You might have accidentally left them somewhere."

"I know Xiao Wei and Teacher Wei's character very well. She never touches other people's things. This must be a misunderstanding!"

Shanshan looked at her doubtfully: "Teacher Qin, didn't you say Xiao Wei at dinner..."

"That's right, I told you at the time that Teacher Wei would not do such a thing." The female teacher persuaded the two to go back.

Qian Jin immediately noticed that her reaction was not right and asked, "Comrade, when did your colleague lose the lipstick and vanishing cream?" "Where were you and what were you doing at that time?"

The female teacher was stunned and asked in astonishment: "Leader, do you suspect that I stole their things?"

"That's impossible! They lost their things in the afternoon. I just got married and I'm at home during the day. I only come to school at night when I'm working!"

Wei Qinghuan quietly pulled Qian Jin and shook his head at him.

Qian Jin realized that his presence would only intensify the conflict between Wei Qinghuan and his roommates.

He smiled awkwardly and said, "Just asking," apologized and left.

The other female teachers looked at Teacher Qin in confusion: "Why are you trying to save her face?"

"Yeah, aren't we looking for a reason to kick her out? What's the big deal about her bringing a child to live in the dormitory?"

"This child needs to pee and cries in the middle of the night. Just because someone heard a child crying in our dormitory in the middle of the night, I don't know how many rumors have been spread..."

"Shut up!" Teacher Qin couldn't stand it anymore.

She glanced into the room.

When he found Wei Qinghuan packing the bedding, he waved to the other four people and whispered outside:
"Don't mess with Teacher Wei anymore. She's hooking up with the boss!"

The four were surprised: "Based on her composition..."

"Shh! Keep your voice down!" Teacher Qin glared at the speaker.

Shanshan whispered, "Was that a leader just now? He's not even a security guard, right? I think he has the armband of the Security Commando."

Teacher Qin said: "He is a security guard, but not just any security guard."

"Last Monday, when I came home drenched in the rain and crying, didn't you ask me what was wrong and I didn't tell you?"

"Now let me tell you, that day I took the ticket given by my in-laws and wanted to go to the black market to exchange it for a pair of leather shoes for my wedding, but I ended up being arrested by the voting office!"

The female teacher exclaimed, "Then you're not in trouble? If your partner's family knew about this..."

Teacher Qin sighed, "Yes, I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. I was terrified at the time and kept crying and begging for mercy from the voting team, but it was no use. They wanted to notify the unit and the family."

"Later, I was very lucky. The young man who accompanied Teacher Wei went there. The voting office arranged for someone to go to the door to meet him in the rain. When they saw him, he kept nodding and bowing and smiling."

Shanshan muttered, "Is it true?"

Teacher Qin said, "How could I joke about my reputation? I'm trying to save you now, otherwise I'm going to keep this to myself for the rest of my life!"

The other female teachers nodded.

That's the truth.

Teacher Qin continued, "When he was about to leave, Director Chang came out to see him off personally and even tried to get him to stay for tea and to get out of the rain."

"But he said he had things to do and had to leave. Seeing us crying in the rain, he couldn't bear it anymore and directly gave the order to Director Chang, saying, 'They haven't committed any serious offenses, just give them a lesson and let them go.'"

"Director Chang didn't say anything, just threatened us a few times, and then really let us all go—without even asking us to write a statement of apology or a confession!"

The female teachers were stunned when they heard this.

Someone asked hesitantly: "He is so young..."

Teacher Qin was displeased: "You still don't believe me? I can tell you, when Director Chang came out to see him off, he shook hands with him with both hands and bowed!"

The four female teachers looked at each other, staring at each other in silence.

The female teacher who pinched her waist said, "Teacher Qin, we all believe you, but, are you sure? Is it the same person?"

Teacher Qin said, "Do you still need to doubt my eyes? I saw it at first glance just now."

"Later, he used a flashlight to shine on his face, and it was clearer than in the daytime. There was absolutely no way I could have made a mistake. To be honest, it's rare to see a young man as handsome as him. I saw him once and I couldn't forget him for a whole year!"

Another female teacher nodded thoughtfully. "I just noticed that his hair is very good and his skin is shiny. He is indeed a respectable man."

"When he shone the flashlight on his armband just now, I wasn't paying attention to his face. I was paying attention to his wrist."

"He was wearing a brand new watch. The light shone brightly on his face. The strap was snow-white and shiny. It must be a high-end product..."

The mottled green-painted wooden door creaked, and the female teachers went back one after another.

Six women squeezed into a 12-square-meter dormitory, with basically no space left except for the bunk beds.

Teacher Qin's round face was filled with a bright smile like a sunflower.

She grabbed the thermos and poured water into Wei Qinghuan's enamel pot. She asked casually, "Teacher Wei, is your friend's last name Qian?"

Wei Qinghuan suppressed his inner suspicion and said, "Yes, his name is Qian Jin."

Teacher Qin immediately praised: "What a good name, it sounds like the word 'forward'. It seems his parents have high expectations for him."

Shanshan tossed and turned for a while, then suddenly said, "Oh, my vanishing cream fell into the crack of the bed."

She took a box of biscuits and sat down beside Wei Qinghuan's bed: "Teacher Wei, I'm so sorry for what happened just now. I was too impulsive."

"Little Tangyuan, are you hungry? Come, have some cookies."

The female teacher who pinched her waist also came over and said with a wry smile: "Teacher Wei, I didn't mean anything else just now, I was just anxious."

"By the way, didn't you say last time that you wanted to switch beds with me? I've thought about it, and it's indeed more convenient for you to be near the door with a child. How about switching beds tomorrow?"

Teacher Qin rolled his eyes.

Two idiots!

Wei Qinghuan is a very smart person. She realized that her colleague's sudden change of attitude was due to Qian Jin.

But judging from Qian Jin's work and residence, there doesn't seem to be anything outstanding about them, right?

But she is happy to see the change in her colleagues' attitude towards her. It is always better to be enthusiastic about her than to resist her collectively.

Especially since the glutinous rice balls are too small, they need a kind environment.

In this way, she took advantage of the situation and became warm and friendly with her colleagues, enjoying the kindness that she had not experienced for a long time.

Even if it's just acted out.
