Chapter 12: Is It a Joke?

This man with gold-rimmed glasses is dressed very neatly and neatly, he is not handsome, but he pays attention to grooming. A well-dressed outfit looks neat and tidy.

Nowadays, there are many hipsters, especially domestic hipsters, who actually don't know how to dress up at all. The so-called trend is just a simple pursuit of popularity. What shoes are hot to buy, what brands are popular to buy, Uniqlo co-branded kaws can make these people crazy. As for whether they look good on their bodies or not? They don't care, as long as it's wet.

It's like someone who chooses to wear a sleeveless vest, it's because they have strong and obvious triceps and biceps, and when the arms are bent, they can show their muscles and show off their figure and strength. In particular, many European and American stars and athletes will choose to wear like this.

And there are many hipsters who follow the star trend and the same style, in fact, they are as thin as chickens, or they are not heavy but have a high body fat rate, and the meat of their arms is loose like pork that has been soaked in water for a long time. Just like that, you have to wear it like European and American star athletes, which is really not called trendy, but stupid.

The man in front of me is dressed up quite energetically, which is actually quite good. There are so many trends these days that many people have forgotten how to dress up neatly and tidy.

He stepped into Lao Zhang's shop and asked Zhang Tong, "Boss, do you have breakfast?"

At present, the construction of Hive City is not very perfect, and there are breakfast shops, but there are not many. Many people choose to buy rice balls at FamilyMart to pay for a meal. So at present, the only FamilyMart convenience store in Hive is full of customers every day, and it is overcrowded.

Zhang Tong doesn't sell breakfast, but noodles are available. When he opened the door at nine o'clock in the morning, he met a customer who wanted to come for breakfast, Zhang Tong tilted his head and thought for a while, and then said, "Only noodles, do you want to eat?"

"Yes, it's fine. The man in the glasses smiled. He was really hungry, and now the convenience store has sold out of snacks and the cafeteria has sold out of breakfast. It's really inconvenient to have a hot breakfast.

The noodles in Zhang Tong's shop are old, the alkaline water noodles are paired with various toppings, and the soup base is boiling water + lard + shrimp head soy sauce boiled by yourself, which is simple but delicious and fragrant.

Mustard and shredded pork noodles, simple and delicious. It's good to have a bowl of noodles like this hot in the morning.

Zhang Tong looked at the man who was eating noodles and asked curiously, "You are the teacher of Hive No. 1 Middle School." ”

"Huh?" The man with gold-rimmed glasses looked up, "Why do you think so?"

"It's kind of guessing, the population of Hive City is very small right now. The factory has not yet been fully relocated and opened, and the main population is the students of Hive Middle School and their parents, plus various civil servants. There is also a small number of service industry personnel. You don't look like you're in the service industry. If you are a civil servant, you should already be at work by this point, and you are already late at nine o'clock. If you dress very formally, if you are not a civil servant, then you can only be a teacher. ”

Zhang Tong seemed to be the head of the Tao and inferred, pretending to be Sherlock Holmes.

The man with gold wire glasses was bluffed by Zhang Tong's reasoning: "You really pushed me out like this, I'm a teacher?"

"No, it's mainly your teacher's ID card in your pocket. Zhang Tong pointed to the teacher's card that was about to fall out of the pocket of the man's pants with gold-rimmed glasses.

"Oh, oh, hey, I thought you had deduced my teacher, and I thought you had met Sherlock Holmes here. The man with gold-wire glasses laughed: "You boss is really interesting." ”

"Teacher, what are you teaching?" Zhang Tong is also idle, anyway, now that Huo Zheng is helping to work in the back kitchen, he can be much easier.

"My surname is Xu, and I teach mathematics and chemistry part-time. The man in the glasses pushed his eyes and smiled.

"Oh. That's good, the teacher is good. Zhang Tong touched the back of his head, and he muttered in his heart: Isn't it to teach supernatural abilities? Hmm, maybe people have higher attainments in mathematics and chemistry?

"Mr. Xu, you are very good at math and chemistry? I don't mean anything else, it's just that I like to chat. Now there are few people in Hive City, so they like to talk to people. ”

After taking a bite of noodles, Mr. Xu said slowly, "Mathematics and chemistry are not bad. I graduated from Harvard with a master's degree ten years ago. The undergraduate science is mathematics, and the master's degree is chemistry. Although this teacher Xu's voice is quite gentle, there is a bit of smugness in his tone.

Yes, Harvard master's degree! That was more than ten years ago, and not many Chinese could study at Harvard more than ten years ago. At that time, it was very difficult to study abroad, either because the family had a special way, or the top universities such as Peking University and Tsinghua University had a policy of exchange students. Otherwise, if you want to get into Harvard in China?

Zhang Tong was surprised when he heard Mr. Xu's words: "You are a top student at Harvard! "No wonder I came to teach mathematics and chemistry, it turns out that the education is so high, it is much better than teaching ability. Zhang Tong still admires people who can read, after all, it is not easy to be a top student.

Especially after returning home from a top foreign university, Zhang Tong is even more admired, especially more than ten years ago. More than a decade ago, the gap between China and the United States was quite large, and the gap in quality of life and degree of development was so large that it was clear at a glance. At that time, many international students chose to work in the United States, and if it weren't for the subprime mortgage crisis, I don't know how many people would never return to China in their lifetime. China also suddenly began to explode after the subprime mortgage crisis, as can be clearly seen in the videos that visualize GDP growth and the growth of household purchasing power.

When Zhang Tong was born, China made many movies and TV series praising international students returning to China to serve the motherland. Zhang Tong didn't watch it less when he was a child, and he can be regarded as having been influenced by this kind of patriotism.

So when Mr. Xu finished eating the noodles and paid for it and left, Zhang Tong cleaned up his dishes and chopsticks.

"Harvard master's students are here to teach. It's good to teach math and chemistry, and the quality of this teaching is ...... Hmmm? A master's degree from Harvard University to teach middle school students. Wait, is the education level of this school already high to this level?" Zhang Tong scratched his head, feeling a little incredible, but he had to believe it.

————————

Jiang Hua is now running at both ends, one side is the work of the Hive Middle School, and the other is the work of the special investigation department. Fortunately, Huang Gang handled all the administrative work, so Jiang Hua's workload was very easy, Huang Gang didn't need her to manage the administration, she just needed to solve the front-line work when there was a problem.

Jiang Hua likes this kind of distribution very much, and she is not a person who covets power. She was too troubled to lose the administrative work to her.

Compared with the ease of the special investigation department, the work of Hive No. 1 Middle School is much more tedious. Because it is not easy to manage this group of students with special abilities.

You have to be able to subdue them. This is not easy for many teachers. So sometimes Jiang Hua had to help some teachers who had no special abilities and just taught general knowledge to deal with some deterrent work.

"Teacher Jiang is also here, we have a new teacher today. I'll introduce you all. "The Toolman Principal walks into the classroom office with a new teacher.

"Xu Tianming, Mr. Xu. A graduate of Harvard University, a math and chemistry teacher, and the leader of our school's math and chemistry teaching group. Everyone is welcome. ”

The teachers in the classroom office are looking at each other, and the Harvard graduates are coming to teach middle school students? Is this really not a joke?
