Taking advantage of the few minutes of preparation time before class, Xiao Yu quickly exchanged ideas with Ying Min and Qin Lulu.。。。。
"Zhang Xiaoyu, will this work?" Ying Min and Qin Lulu were a little confused by Xiao Yu's changes. Although there weren't many changes in their conversation, it completely lost its original neat sentence format.
"Don't worry! In fact, everyday spoken English should be natural and simple. The lines designed by Teacher Li were too stiff and did not match the actual situation of life.”
"Ha, Zhang Xiaoyu, I didn't know that you're quite talented! Alright! We'll change it like this!" Qin Lulu felt that she was the one who recommended Zhang Xiaoyu, so she had to support him. She did not know where her confidence came from.
Ying Min saw that Qin Lulu had no objections. Anyway, there were not many changes to her and Qin Lulu's lines. The biggest change was Xiao Yu's dialogue, so she had no objections.
Both of them were good at speaking English, so they immediately memorized the changes.
The public lecture officially began.
Since Ms. Li had rehearsed for the students the day before, the opening part was quite realistic. Once she asked a question, the students all raised their right hands high and fought to answer it.
In fact, the students who answered the questions were all arranged by Teacher Li in advance. Even the answers to the questions had been copied to the students. Teacher Li had put in a lot of effort for this public lecture.
The leader of the Education Bureau nodded secretly. The English teachers from other middle schools knew that this trick could fool the leaders, but in the eyes of their peers, they did not know whether to laugh or cry.
The four foreign teachers were even less interested. The foreigners 'teaching had always been known for their high degree of freedom. This kind of teaching that was obviously marked by the axe was really ridiculous and boring.
Ms. Li's English also had a strong Chinese accent. This kind of spoken English was nothing to the Chinese ears, but to foreign teachers whose mother tongue was English, it was somewhat nondescript.
Time ticked by, and the public lecture proceeded smoothly.
"Students, now, we are going to practice a dialogue. Shanghai is currently hosting the World Exposition. I want three of you to play the role of a volunteer for the World Exposition, a foreign guest, and an ordinary Shanghai citizen. The theme is to ask for directions. I've printed the rough plot on the big screen. Which student is willing to go up on stage and try it out?”
The whole class raised their hands in tacit understanding. They were already used to this kind of brainless public class. Seeing that Teacher Li usually treated them well, they could only cooperate fully. Anyway, it was just a raise of the hand, and they would not really draw it.
"Qin Lulu! You will be the volunteer of the World Exhibition!”
"Ying Min! You'll play the role of a Shanghai citizen!"
"That, Zhang Xiaoyu! You play the role of a foreign guest!"
When she called out Zhang Xiaoyu, Teacher Li could not help but pause and sigh in her heart.
The three students walked to the front desk, and the teachers in the back row were also interested. They wanted to hear what the conversation was about.
The first one to speak was Xiao Yu. The foreign guest he played had just arrived in Shanghai. He wanted to take the subway to the World Exhibition, but he lost his way and wanted to find a citizen to ask for directions.
As soon as Little Yu spoke in English, the teachers who were listening in the class immediately praised him in their hearts. Even the four foreign teachers who were about to doze off widened their eyes. This young man's American accent was very authentic!
Teacher Li was surprised and happy. She did not expect Zhang Xiaoyu's oral English to be so good. It could be said that Zhang Xiaoyu's oral English was much better than hers, even though she was unwilling to admit it.
In addition, Teacher Li realized that Xiao Yu's lines were not the ones she had written in advance. What was going on?
At this moment, Qin Lulu, who was acting as a Shanghai citizen, walked over and enthusiastically helped the foreign guest show the way. However, because the route was too complicated, it made the foreign guest even more confused.
Xiao Yu's acting as a foreign guest was very funny, causing the students below to burst into laughter.
When Teacher Li heard this, she was even more confused. Although Qin Lulu's dialogue still had the meaning that she had written, it was ambiguous and sounded much more natural. Could it be that she had received guidance from an expert?
At this time, Ying Min, who was acting as a volunteer for the World Exposition, came over. She was willing to lead the way for the foreign guest and go to the World Exposition with him.
The foreign guests gave a thumbs up and praised the organization of the World Exposition.
The conversation ended here.
This scene not only made the leaders of the Education Bureau and the Chinese teachers secretly praise, but even the four foreign teachers nodded their heads.
They had listened to many public lectures these days, but they had never heard such a natural and appropriate conversation. The boy who played the foreign guest's spoken language left a deep impression on them.
After the public lecture, Teacher Li was praised by the leaders of the Municipal Bureau of Education. The school leaders were also beaming with joy and praised Teacher Li. This year's advanced teacher should not be able to escape.
Of course, Teacher Li was very happy with Xiao Yu and the other two. Not only did she often use her spare time to give them special treatment, but she also wanted to exempt Wang Tao from being the English class representative and let Xiao Yu take over.
However, Xiao Yu rejected Teacher Li's kindness. At this moment, his mind was focused on the renovation of the new shop.
Xiao Yu spent 100 yuan to buy some paint and painted the first floor of the teahouse with Da Niu.
The previous owner didn't take away the tables and chairs in the teahouse. The rental company left them all to Xiao Yu. These were all usable resources, so Xiao Yu naturally wouldn't give up.
Although these tables and chairs were cheap, it was still a big expense to buy them. At least, they were much better than the tables and chairs in the market. Moreover, the side of the teahouse against the wall was full of sofa seats similar to train seats. It was very comfortable to sit on.
As the teahouse also sold some simple food, the kitchen at the back was also fully equipped with stoves and the like. Xiao Yu spent another 1,500 yuan to buy a second-hand refrigerator and placed it inside.
The second floor of the teahouse was an empty space. The original owner didn't use it because his business wasn't good. Xiao Yu wanted to use this space and divide it into a few independent private rooms. Some of them would be used as staff dormitories, and the rest would be reserved for other purposes.
There were many migrant workers at the entrance of the market who took on renovation business. Xiao Yu asked Old Zhang for help and found two people from Hubei. They negotiated a price, including labor and materials, as well as the partition and door on the second floor. It was a total of 2,000 yuan.
This kind of renovation didn't need to touch the basic structure of the house, so the two of them did it very quickly. It only took them two days to separate the rooms on the second floor.
There were a total of eight rooms, four on each side, four bright and four dark. Each room was about ten square meters in size and was separated by a corridor. The remaining space was used as a living room. In order to ensure air circulation, ventilation fans were installed in each room.
Xiao Yu spent 500 yuan to buy second-hand Simmons, desks, chairs, and other simple living equipment for each of the four secret rooms. He let his subordinates occupy one room each and kept the last one for himself.
After the new shop opened, there would definitely be all kinds of things waiting for him to deal with. It was more convenient for him to stay in the shop. Of course, Old Zhang had no objections. He naturally supported his godson's venture.
As for the shop in the market, Xiao Yu found pockmarked Li and his gang, wanting to transfer the shop to them. These people were running wild stalls outside and were chased all over the street by the city enforcement officers. They had long wanted to find a safer place.
Although Xiao Yu's shop was a little small and its geographical location was a little remote, it had already become popular. Just the youtiao business in the morning alone could earn a lot of money, and the rent was quite cheap. Of course, pockmarked Li was more than happy to do so. He happily gave Xiao Yu a deposit of 1,000 yuan and went through the formalities with him.
The day of the move was Saturday. Xiao Yu borrowed a tricycle from the fish seller, Li Tou, and loaded the things needed by the shop and Zhou Xin's luggage. He asked Da Niu to dump them. He and Zhou Xin took the bus to the new shop.
"Boss, that shop's business was so good. It would be a pity to give up!”On the bus, Tao Hong said to Xiao Yu regretfully.
She had worked in several restaurants before, but she had never seen such good business. Could the business of a new shop really be better than that of an old shop?
Little Yu recalled the miserable state when he first took over the shop and couldn't help but smile." Sister Little Hong, this popularity is made, not waited."”
Xiao Yu knew how difficult it was to start a business. This time, signing a new shop could be said to be a desperate decision for Xiao Yu.
The shop in the market had already been transferred, and he had no other way out. After paying the rent of 4,000 yuan and the renovation and purchase fees, he only had 3,700 yuan left. If the business of the new shop could not rise, not only would he lose all his money, but Zhou Xin and the others would also lose their jobs.
After Zhou Xin saw Xiao Yu say this, she fell into deep thought. Her heart could not help but ache. She was very clear about the pressure on this boy's shoulders and admired his courage.
Ever since they had intimate contact in the small cubicle, every time she saw him, he would deliberately put some distance between them. A girl's heart was the most sensitive, and she immediately realized this.
" Sigh, I didn't blame him…" Zhou Xin lowered her head. Even if something really happened between her and Little Yu that day, it was still a matter of giving each other fifty strokes. Little Yu had no intention of forcing her. Later on, she took the initiative.
Nowadays, there was a joke that went like this: if you wanted to find a virgin, you would have to go to kindergarten. However, Zhou Xin was a genuine virgin. She did not have to leave her virginity to her future husband. It was just that she had not met the person she liked.
Sometimes at night, she thought that if Xiao Yu wanted her that day, she would not be at a disadvantage. She could see that Xiao Yu was definitely a virgin, but why did Xiao Yu stop at the brink of the cliff that day? Was it because she was not good-looking? Was her figure not good enough? Zhou Xin was puzzled.
The three of them were thinking about their own things. The bus had already arrived at Tianlin Road.
After getting out of the car, he walked a few steps to the left and arrived at Xiao Yu's new shop.
This was the first time Zhou Xin and Tao Hong had come here after Little Yu rented the shop. When they saw Little Yu take out the key and open the door of the shop, they were stunned. Was this shop Little Yu's new shop? The scale of this place was completely different from the one in the bazaar.
