Become a burden in a period novel

Chapter 526 List

Qin Wangshu kept most of her important belongings in her spatial storage, but there were also quite a few things in the courtyard.

The color TV they bought for Aunt Luo before, and the washing machine they bought later—although they didn't deliberately publicize it, people around them should know that their family was relatively wealthy.

However, many of her neighbors work at her and Aunt Luo's factory, so they probably wouldn't cause any trouble. But what happened in the next alley reminded her that the security situation isn't very good these days, and she needs to consider the safety of her home.

Why not hire a security guard along with the nanny, or buy another house?

It seems there are some new apartments for sale recently, and the security there should be better than here. It's definitely not safe for her and Aunt Luo to live here alone.

Thinking of this, Qin Wangshu wanted to find out where there were any new commercial housing developments recently, but considering the Canton Fair, she had to put it aside for the time being.

The next day, after Qin Wangshu arrived at school and attended her class, she was notified that the principal wanted to see her.

After Qin Wangshu arrived at the principal's office, she received a list.

"These are the recommended student lists. Please take a look and see if they are suitable?" The principal said politely.

“It’s definitely suitable. I’ll have someone book a guesthouse in advance when I get back. However, it might be difficult to book a guesthouse during the Canton Fair, and the accommodation conditions won’t be very good. I hope these students can understand.”

"They're going to work, not to enjoy themselves. If you care, give up your spot. There are plenty of other people who want to go!" The principal had also gone through hardship and had the utmost contempt for those who indulged in pleasure.

"But you can rest assured, I still want them to work, and I won't treat them unfairly," Qin Wangshu said with a smile. There were many familiar names on this list, all of whom were prominent figures in the school.

"Then I'll leave it to Teacher Qin!"

"You're too kind, Principal."

The principal must have had a long meeting yesterday to be able to finalize the list in such a short time.

The Canton Fair started a bit late this year, but since they don't celebrate the Lunar New Year abroad, it doesn't matter. The South is much warmer than the North, and Qin Wangshu really wants to spend the winter there.

This time, Qin Wangshu wanted to bring Aunt Luo along, but she didn't know if she could leave. There were many things to do at the garment factory and the branch factory as well.

I'll ask her when I get home tonight and see if she wants to go.

Back in the office, the teacher next to her came over and asked, "Teacher Qin, what did the principal want to see you about?"

"Regarding the Canton Fair, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave the school for a while. I'll have to trouble you with my classes then." Qin Wangshu didn't hide anything, after all, they had helped cover her classes during the Canton Fair.

"The Canton Fair is starting again?" They don't pay attention to this, so they really don't know.

"Yes, it is a bit late this year." Actually, she had already finished teaching most of her classes and prepared the exam papers since winter vacation was just a few days away. The teacher who would be covering for her would only need to teach the last few classes and then proctor the exams for her.

"You're going to bring quite a few students this time, right?" Qin Wangshu brought quite a few students last time, and it's likely she'll bring even more this time.

"Yes, the principal just gave me the list." Qin Wangshu looked at the teacher opposite her who seemed very concerned about this matter. "Do you also have someone to recommend?"

For her, it doesn't matter whether there's one more person or one less person.

"I, I didn't..." The teacher opposite him was stunned. He really didn't expect Qin Wangshu to ask him directly. If Qin Wangshu had asked him in private, he could have recommended her, but she asked him directly in front of others, and he really couldn't say anything.

"Teacher Qin, there must be a lot of good stuff at the Canton Fair, could you help me bring some back?" Another teacher, seeing the awkward atmosphere, quickly changed the subject.

The teacher across the street has a nephew who got into Peking University and is now a junior. He wants to use Qin Wangshu's connections to get his nephew into the Canton Fair so that his resume will look better and he'll have better job options after graduation.

"Is there anything you want?" Qin Wangshu often traveled between the South and Beijing, and would often bring things back for her colleagues.

Her office is not big now, but it houses four teachers. Because they share an office, they get along quite well.

Because Qin Wangshu was busy with other things, they often substituted for her in class, and of course, Qin Wangshu did not treat them unfairly.

"Do you have color TVs? It's so hard to buy color TVs at department stores." This teacher had a lot to complain about. She had made many trips to the department store to buy this TV, but unfortunately, she had never been able to get one.
