Entertaining Children

  Chapter 173 Part-time job

   drove the three children to the gate of West Bridge Middle School, but Mrs. Smith did not get out of the car. I wish Xiaoyao had a good time at the new school and drove away directly.

   "Sami!"

   "Dean!"

  As soon as Samin and Dean walked into the campus, they were greeted by familiar friends.

  "Is this the new international exchange student?" Several girls asked in a low voice beside Samien, but their eyes were curiously looking at Xiao Yao who had entered the school with her.

   "Yes," Xiao Yao nodded with a generous smile. "My name is Xiao Yao, from China, and I am a new exchange student. You can call me Yang. This is my English name."

   "Hello, this is Jenna."

   "I am Joan."

   "I am Ann."

  Several girls looked at the Chinese teenager with a bright smile, and they also introduced themselves with a smile. I felt that the guy standing in front of him was very different from the Huaxia transfer students I had seen before.

   "Hello!" Xiao Yao responded.

   "Okay, mom said you still have some formalities to go through. Tell me to take you to the principal's office when you arrive at school, and follow me." Samien interrupted several people aloud and said to Xiao Yao.

   "Okay, thank you." Xiao Yao said.

   "I will take him to the principal's room first, and see you in the classroom later." Samien and several female companions greeted each other, and then left with Xiao Yao.

  In contrast to the enthusiasm of the girls, the boys around Dean are not so active. But the topic they discussed with Dean was also Xiao Yao.

   "Dean, does that guy really live in your house?" A black teenager with glasses looked at the back of Samin and Xiao Yao and asked Dean.

   "Don't worry, Sammy won't like this Chinese kid," Dean glanced at the black boy. "Of course, I won't like you either."

   "Hey, Dean!" the black boy said dissatisfied.

   "I'm telling the truth." Dean shrugged and smiled. "I know Sammy."

   "That kid is from China, does he know Kung Fu?" Another brown complexion looks like a Latino boy.

"I don't know, but I think he shouldn't." Dean replied, "The information says that he was selected for the training of the China National Olympics National Team and is a mathematical genius. Which mathematical genius have you seen who is good at sports? It's going to be hard work."

   "Try it and you won't know." At this moment, a tall white teenager walked over.

When Dean saw the man, he immediately said a little nervously: "Joey, don't mess around. Although I don't like this Chinese person very much now, he lives in my house after all, and is considered a member of my family for the time being. "

   "So what?" The tall white boy named Joey smiled, "Can I not move in your house?"

  Speaking, Joey looked at Dean and left with a look of disdain.

   "You..." Dean flushed suddenly, and he was about to chase after him.

  "Don't!" The two teenagers beside Dean quickly grabbed Dean and said, "He is the captain of the basketball team, and you can't beat him again!"

  Under the leadership of Samien, he went to the principal’s office to complete the procedures. Xiao Yao, who took his class schedule, went to choose his own locker, and began his first day of study and life in West Bridge High School.

  There are many courses and teachers in American high schools that students choose independently, so there is almost no concept of class. Although Xiao Yao and Dean are in the same grade, they don't meet many times in class in one day.

  Based on Dean’s limited observations. I found that Xiao Yao didn't feel uncomfortable in class. It can be seen that his English is not only fluent in daily conversations, but also some more complicated sentences and professional terminology. After class, students who took the initiative to strike up a conversation had relatively positive and enthusiastic responses, but they rarely took the initiative to greet others. Neither shy or shy nor anxious to express themselves. Most of the time, I just looked at everything in the school curiously.

  In addition to the curious eyes of many classmates, Xiao Yao’s first day in high school in the United States was relatively peaceful.

  "How was your day at school today?" After returning home in the evening, Mrs. Smith asked about Xiao Yao's feelings on the first day of school at dinner.

   "It feels good. It is very different from my school in China, very fresh." Xiao Yao replied smoothly.

   "It just feels good." Mrs. Smith smiled, and then talked about another thing.

"Young, there is one more thing I didn't tell you yesterday." Mrs. Smith said, "In my house, both Sammy and Dean don't have pocket money. They both do part-time jobs on their own to make pocket money. Since you are here to experience it. American ordinary high school students study and live, so I treat you like them, I hope you can also do a part-time job and earn pocket money by yourself. Of course, if you have anything urgent to spend money, you can still find me Yes, but the usual pocket money, or something you like, I hope you can earn it by yourself."

   Xiao Yao’s first reaction is that I am not short of money, so what else do I need to do part-time job? But after thinking about what Mrs. Smith mentioned about the life of ordinary American high school students, Xiao Yao swallowed what he wanted to say, nodded with a smile, and said: "Okay, then I will also find a part-time job and do it. . But I’m not familiar with it yet. I don’t know if you have any part-time jobs that you can recommend to me?"

"Sami, Dean, do you have any suitable part-time jobs that you can recommend to Young?" Mrs. Smith turned to look at her son and daughter. Made by age."

   "I don't have one." Dean first said, "But since Yang is from Huaxia, I think he can try it at a restaurant run by Huaxia to see if they need part-time waiters or something."

   "Serve the plate? Not very interested." Xiao Yao shook his head, how can I say that he is also a star in China. The restaurants opened by Chinese people must be visited by many Chinese people. In case they are recognized and sent back to China, they don’t seem to sound very good. Maybe they will make entertainment headlines again.

  "I do have a part-time job opportunity. It's just a little harder." Samien said hesitantly. Restaurant waiters are unwilling to do it, I am afraid that Xiao Yao is mostly unwilling to say what he said.

   "Talk about it," Mrs. Smith said.

"The small supermarket I worked in before needed a part-time tally clerk." Samin said, "I think Xiao Yao's mathematics is very good, and it is more appropriate to be a cashier, but they do not lack cashiers, only tally. member."

   "It doesn't matter, this can be done." Xiao Yao nodded, "What about working hours and working hours?"

"Working three days a week, you can choose any three days, working hours are from 8 pm to 10 pm. The hourly salary is 15 US dollars." Samien looked at Xiao Yao, who gave her unexpected answer. , Continued, "The boss is not bad and not harsh on the employees."

  In this way, it is ninety dollars a week, which is almost enough for Xiao Yao to spend. So Xiao Yao nodded and said, "Okay, it sounds good."

   "Nasami will take Xiao Yao for an interview tomorrow after school." Mrs. Smith told her daughter.

   "Okay, no problem." Xiao Yao and Samien replied together.

  After dinner, Samien, Dean, and Elena each went back to their rooms, while Xiao Yao said to Mrs. Smith who was washing the dishes: "Mrs. Smith, I want to go out, okay?"

   "Where do you want to go? Do you need me to drive you there?" Mrs. Smith wiped her hands.

   "No, just go out and get familiar with the environment." Xiao Yao refused with a smile. He wants to find a suitable route and place for tomorrow's morning exercise.

"Okay, no problem." Mrs. Smith agreed with a smile, and then said: "If you walk, it is best not to leave our community. The public security in our community is still very good, but you still need to pay attention to safety. , Must be back before eleven o'clock in the evening."

   "Well, thank you Madam for your concern, I know. And I won't go out for too long. I will be back in about an hour." Xiao Yao nodded.

  Not long after Xiao Yao went out, Dean went downstairs. When I entered the kitchen and didn't see Xiao Yao, he asked Mrs. Smith, "Mom, where's Yang?"

   "Going out, he said he wants to go for a walk and get familiar with the environment." Mrs. Smith replied, "Are you looking for him?"

   "Yes, I have something to find him." Dean nodded.

   "He said that he will be back in about an hour. If it is not something urgent, you can wait for him to come back. If you are in a hurry, I think he should bring his mobile phone. You can call him." Mrs. Smith said.

   "Okay, I get it." Dean said, exiting the kitchen, going upstairs and returning to the room.

  After Xiao Yao came back from a walk, he greeted Mrs. Smith who was watching TV in the living room, and went straight upstairs to his room.

   Shortly after entering the room, Xiao Yao's door was knocked. Opening the door, Xiao Yao found Dean with a hesitant expression standing outside the door.

   "What's the matter with me?" Xiao Yao asked.

   Dean nodded. Xiao Yao stepped away and said to Dean, "Come in and talk."

  Walking into Xiao Yao’s room, Dean finally said: "Yang, I want to ask you, do you know how to martial arts?"

   "Kung Fu?" Xiao Yao asked strangely.

   "Yes, Kung Fu. Ahhh!" Dean nodded, then did a starting move that often appears in Chinese Kung Fu movies, and then said: "That's Mike Zhou, Pete Wang."

  Mike Zhou and Pete Wang are relatively well-known Chinese action movie stars in the United States in this life, equivalent to Jack Cheng and Jet Li in Xiao Yao’s previous life.

   "Why ask this?" Xiao Yao asked with a curious smile. The reason for the laugh is mainly because of Dean's slightly funny posture.

   "That..." Dean hesitated for a moment, as if made up his mind: "Joy Orson in school might be asking you for trouble."

   "Why? I only went to school the first day, and I didn't seem to know him." Xiao Yao was even more strange, wondering how he offended people unknowingly. I shouldn't. I didn't do anything special in school this day.

"Maybe many girls in the school are more interested in you, and you are from China, he said he wants to try your skills." Dean said nervously, "but I know him, he said I want to try if you know how to do it, but I just want to beat you up."

   "He's great?" Xiao Yao asked, looking at Dean's nervousness. At the same time thinking in my heart, is this the legendary typical American campus bully? I just don’t know if it’s the basketball team or the football team.

  "He is the main power forward of the basketball team. He is 1.87 meters tall and has a very strong body. I heard that fighting is also very good." Dean introduced.

   "Okay, thank you for your reminder, I will be careful." Xiao Yao gave Dean a grateful glance. He could feel that Samien and Dean did not have a good impression of him. He didn't expect Dean to stand firmly on his side in this matter.
