Entertaining Children

Driving the three children to the gate of West Bridge Middle School, Mrs. Smith did not get out of the car. After wishing Xiao Yao a happy time at the new school, he drove away directly.

"Sammy!"

"Dean!"

As soon as Samien and Dean entered the campus, they were greeted by familiar friends.

"Is this the new international exchange student?" Several girls whispered beside Samien, but their eyes looked curiously at Xiao Yao who entered the school with her.

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

"Hi, I'm Jenna."

"I'm Joan."

"I'm Ann."

Several girls looked at this Huaxia boy with a bright smile on his face, and introduced themselves with a smile on his face. I felt that the guy standing in front of me 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, and told me to take you to the principal's office after arriving at school, and follow me." Samien interrupted several people and said to Xiao Yao.

"Okay, thank you." Xiao Yao said.

"I'll take him to the principal's office first, and I'll see you in the classroom later." Samion greeted several female companions, and then took Xiao Yao away.

Compared with 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 wearing glasses asked Dean, looking at the back of Samien and Xiao Yao leaving together.

"Don't worry, Sammy won't fall in love with this Chinese kid." Dean glanced at the black boy, "Of course, he won't fall in love with 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, so can he know kung fu?" Another brown-skinned teenager who looked like Latino asked.

"I don't know, but I don't think he will." Dean replied, "It is said that he was once selected for the training camp of the Chinese Olympiad national team, and he is a math genius. Have you ever seen any math genius who is also good at sports? Not to mention Said it would work."

"You'll know if you try it." At this time, a tall white boy came over and said.

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

"So what?" The tall white boy named Joey smiled, "I can't move when I live in your house?"

With that said, Joey looked at Dean and walked away with a look of disdain.

"You..." Dean blushed suddenly, and 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!"

Under the leadership of Samien, Xiao Yao went to the principal's office to complete the formalities and received his schedule. Xiao Yao went to choose a locker of his own, and began his first day of study and life in West Bridge High School.

In American high schools, many courses and teachers are chosen by students 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 a day.

According to 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 terms should be fine. After class, the students who took the initiative to strike up a conversation all responded positively and enthusiastically, but they seldom took the initiative to say hello to others. Neither shy nor shy, nor very anxious to express themselves. Most of the time, I just looked at everything in the school curiously.

In addition to arousing the curious eyes of many students, Xiao Yao's first day of American high school life was relatively peaceful.

"How was your day at school?" After returning home at night, Mrs. Smith asked Xiao Yao how he felt on his first day at school during dinner.

"It feels good. It's very different from my school in Huaxia, it's very fresh." Xiao Yao replied in a well-regulated manner.

"Just feel good." Mrs. Smith smiled, and then talked about another thing.

"Jan, there is one thing I didn't tell you yesterday." Mrs. Smith said, "In my family, both Sammy and Dean don't have pocket money, and they work part-time jobs to earn pocket money. Since you are here to experience American high school students study and live, so I treat you the same as them. I hope you can also work part-time to earn pocket money. Of course, if you need money urgently, you can still find me Yes, but the usual pocket money, or what you like, I hope you can earn it yourself."

Xiao Yao's first reaction was that I am not short of money, what else do I need for part-time work? But thinking about Mrs. Smith's mention of feeling the life of ordinary high school students in the United States, 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 well." But I'm not familiar with this place yet, so I wonder if you have any part-time jobs that you can recommend to me?"

"Sammy, Dean, do you have any suitable part-time jobs that you can recommend to Jan?" Mrs. Smith turned her head to look at her son and daughter and said, "Don't talk about delivering newspapers by bicycle in the early morning. It should be suitable for Jan. age did."

"I don't have one." Dean said first, "But since Yang is from Huaxia, I think he can go to a restaurant owned by Huaxia to try and see if they need part-time waiters and the like."

"Serve the plate? Not very interested." Xiao Yao shook his head, how could he be a star in China. There must be a lot of Chinese people who patronize restaurants opened by Chinese people. If they are recognized and spread back to China, it doesn't seem to be very pleasant, and it might make entertainment headlines again.

"I do have a part-time job opportunity, but it's a bit harder." Samion said hesitantly. Even if you don't want to be a waiter in a restaurant, I'm afraid Xiao Yao, who I'm talking about, probably doesn't want to do it either.

"Let's listen to it." Mrs. Smith said.

"A small supermarket I worked in before needed a part-time tally clerk." Samion said, "I think Xiao Yao's math is very good, so it is more suitable to be a cashier, but they don't lack cashiers, only short of tally member."

"It's okay, this can be done." Xiao Yao nodded, "What about the working hours and working hours?"

"Work three days a week, you can choose any three days, the working hours are from 8:00 pm to 10:00 pm. The hourly salary is fifteen dollars." Samion looked at Xiao Yao who gave her unexpected answer with some surprise , continued, "The boss is not bad, and he is not harsh on his employees."

Calculated in this way, it is ninety dollars a week, which is almost enough for Xiao Yao's pocket money. So Xiao Yao nodded and said, "Okay, it sounds good."

"Then Sammy will take Xiao Yao to the interview after school tomorrow." Mrs. Smith told her daughter.

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

After dinner, Samion, Dean, and Elena went back to their rooms, while Xiao Yao said to Mrs. Smith who was cleaning the dishes: "Mrs. Smith, I want to go out for a while, can I?"

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

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

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

"Well, thank you Madam for your concern, I understand. And I won't go out for a long time, I'll be back in about an hour." Xiao Yao nodded.

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

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

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

"He said he would be back in about an hour. If it's not something urgent, you can wait until he comes back. If you are anxious, I think he should have a mobile phone with you. You can call him." Mrs. Smith said.

"Okay, I see." Dean said, exited the kitchen, went upstairs and returned 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 directly upstairs to his room.

Not long after entering the room, there was a knock on Xiao Yao's door. Opening the door, Xiao Yao found Dean standing outside the door with a hesitant expression.

"What do you want me to do?" Xiao Yao asked.

Dean nodded. Xiao Yao stepped aside 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 kung fu?"

"Kungfu?" Xiao Yao asked a little strangely.

"Yes, Kung Fu. Ahh!" Dean nodded, and then made a starting move that often appears in Chinese Kung Fu movies, and continued: "It's like 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 Jeter Lee in Xiao Yao's previous life.

"Why do you ask this?" Xiao Yao asked with a curious smile. Laughing mostly because of Dean's slightly comical pose.

"That..." Dean hesitated for a moment, and said as if he had made up his mind: "Joy Olsen at the school might make trouble for you."

"Why? I just went to school on the first day, and I don't seem to know him." Xiao Yao was even more surprised, for some reason he offended someone unconsciously. It shouldn't be, I didn't do anything special in school this day.

"It may be that many girls in the school are more interested in you, and you are from China, so he said he wants to test your kung fu." Dean said nervously, "But I know him, he said To test whether you know kung fu, I actually want to beat you up."

"Is he very powerful?" Xiao Yao looked at Dean's nervous look and asked. At the same time, I thought in my heart, could this be the typical school bully in the legendary American campus? 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 strong body. I heard that he is also very good at fighting." Dean introduced.

"Okay, thank you for your reminder, I will be careful." Xiao Yao glanced at Dean gratefully and said. He could feel that Sami En and Dean didn't have a good impression of him. He didn't expect Dean to stand firmly on his side in this matter. (To be continued.)
