Chapter 65
Zhang Xiaobai's life during the winter vacation was very fulfilling. He tutored four children in Wei's villa from 8:00 am to 10:00 am. He went to work at a home-cooked restaurant at 11:00 am. He didn't go back to his dormitory until evening to sleep.
Tutoring can earn 800 yuan for two hours a day, while part-time jobs only make 400 yuan a month, which is a far cry.
But Zhang Xiaobai didn't feel that it was unbalanced. Regardless of the era, those who work hard are always more valuable than those who work hard.
Zhang Xiaobai's part-time job in the restaurant is not just for the money, but more importantly, to understand the society and the city, where he can meet all kinds of people and hear all kinds of strange things.
There are all kinds of things in the world, only at one table.
The high-spirited talk after tea and dinner, and the utterance of truth after drinking are the truest portrayals of this city.
On this day, Zhang Xiaobai came to Wei's villa again, the results of the Four King Kong came out, and their parents also arrived.
Everyone is smiling and laughing everywhere.
Zhang Xiaobai guessed without asking, that the four children did well in the exam, at least the parents were satisfied.
Sure enough, the little witch Wei Wei did the best in the exam, ranking ninth in the class. The little girl took Zhang Xiaobai's hand, pouted and said, "Master, the last math question is sloppy, otherwise I will be ranked eighth!"
Zhang Xiaobai rubbed Wei Wei's head, and said gratifiedly: "Keep working hard, your strength is enough to enter the top five!"
You Le, a boy with acne, did well in the exam, with an upper-middle level; Gao Feng was a little worse, and his class was in the middle; in comparison, the worst one was Liao Kai, the fat guy, with a lower-middle level.
Even so, the parents of those families are satisfied, but don't forget that these children's starting point is too low, and it was at the lowest level just a few months ago.
Besides, the grades at this time can't explain any problems. After all, there is still a long time before the high school entrance examination. The main reason is that the children's attitudes have undergone a major change. After returning home, they stopped going out to play wild and started studying.
They all understood that the reason why the child had such a big change was entirely due to Teacher Zhang Xiaobai.
As soon as Zhang Xiaobai entered the room, he was surrounded by everyone. All the parents were trying their best to please this teacher.
After chatting enthusiastically for a while, Wei Qianshan said: "Mr. Xiaobai, please agree to our request. You will live in my house during the winter vacation and give the children extra lessons every day!"
Zhang Xiaobai said: "Uncle Wei, I've said it all, this is really not good, now I only tutor math, other subjects really can't help much! You should also find other tutors for them."
A few children came over quickly, and they started to help the parents with their words.
"Master, you know me well, I won't let other teachers into the house at all!" Wei Wei said.
"Teacher, you know me well. I don't accept any teacher except you!" You Le said.
"Teacher, you also know me well. If it's a male teacher, I guess I'll have to do it. Even if it's a beautiful female teacher, I'll do it!" said the little fat man Liao Kai.
"Teacher, I... will convince you!" Gao Feng said with a blushing face.
Zhang Xiaobai looked at Gao Feng and said with a smile, "You're still supporting the wall when you're too drunk!"
Everyone laughed for a while.
Even though Zhang Xiaobai has always been firm, the parents still want to fight for it. The changes he has brought to the children are too great.
Zhang Xiaobai said seriously: "Uncles and aunts, don't talk about it anymore, I know how much I am. I am lucky to be able to get along with the children like this, not because I have great skills."
"To be honest, I feel guilty for taking so much money, but I can't help it. I'm really short of money. This person, don't be too greedy. I'm enough to be able to do this for two hours a day. I promise to teach them well. If No matter how long it takes, I won't be able to pass this test in my heart, I'm sorry for my conscience!"
Wei Qianshan nodded and raised his thumb, "Mr. Xiaobai, the realm is really high!"
Zhang Xiaobai said with a smile: "Uncle Wei, don't put a high hat on me!"
After laughing, Zhang Xiaobai gave lessons to the four children, but due to a lot of time wasted, he only memorized for one hour.
As he himself said, people should not be too greedy, otherwise they will not be able to pass the test in their hearts.
Zhang Xiaobai took the bus to the home-cooked restaurant. At eleven o'clock, it was time to start serving people.
Just like the dumpling restaurant, Zhang Xiaobai is responsible for serving the dishes and washing the dishes.
I have been working here for a few days, and I have a general understanding of the situation of this restaurant. This is a mom-and-pop shop, the man is the boss, the accountant is the proprietress, and it employs five people including Zhang Xiaobai.
The restaurant doesn't have any special dishes, just stir-fry some home-cooked dishes, mainly for office workers in the surrounding area, and people in entertainment venues at night.
The owner's name is Daming, he looks chubby, and he likes to sit at the counter when he has nothing to do, squinting his eyes with a cigarette in his mouth, staring at the female customers eating and a handsome waiter.
Zhang Xiaobai was a little surprised that he was still so unscrupulous with the proprietress who was an accountant by his side. It's better to treat customers, especially the young waitress, whose eyes are almost in it.
In the first few times Zhang Xiaobai was quite disgusted, but now he is used to it.
There are not many guests now, so Da Ming invited Zhang Xiaobai to come over and climbed up a red pagoda mountain.
"How? Are you still used to it?"
Zhang Xiaobai took the cigarette and said with a smile: "I'm used to it, I've done this before!"
Daming nodded and said: "Good job, other college students are spending their parents' money, you know how to make money for the family!"
Zhang Xiaobai said: "There is no way, who makes the family poor, the children of the poor have long been in charge of the family."
Daming pointed to the waitress, and said in a low voice, "She's also a college student. She's been here for almost a month. How do you look? If you like it, I'll match you up."
Zhang Xiaobai was shocked. He had been here for a few days, and he only talked to that girl occasionally, but he didn't expect that he was just a part-time worker like himself.
Zhang Xiaobai waved his hand and said, "Boss, don't mess with the mandarin ducks. We are all hard-working children. It is not easy to support ourselves. How can we have the time to fall in love?"
Consciously or unintentionally, Zhang Xiaobai clicked on this lecherous boss.
Daming didn't notice it, and said with a smile: "It's not bad, the appearance is passable, and this figure is definitely fine."
Those eyes wandered unscrupulously on the girl again.
Zhang Xiaobai pinched off the cigarette butt and said, "Look at you, I'm going to hurry!"
Daming frowned for a moment, hearing the words were a bit malicious.
It was almost noon, and it was time for the Venerable Master. There are men in suits and bags, ruffians with shaved heads and gold chains, couples shopping hand in hand, and gorgeously dressed girlfriends.
They have joys and sorrows, sweets and sorrows.
Whatever it is, come here just to live, for that bowl of rice.
There's another chapter around eleven!
