From preparing for graduate school to preparing for her thesis, Xiao Lai has not done any professional-related work for nearly a year. She especially wanted to exercise herself and test her true ability "by the way".

At that time, Xiao Lai had not yet experienced finding a job online. Miao Miao often calls in front of her, all about interviews. Xiao Lai was not in a hurry, but she still paid attention to the recruitment notice pasted on the school's advertising board while eating.

She noticed a job posting for an English teacher, and she took a picture with her phone. After all, she had also taken lecture classes in school for two years, and she still accumulated a lot of experience on the podium. After graduating from the college entrance examination, she also held a one-month training course at home. Thinking about that scene was the beginning of laying the foundation for her.

Due to her mother's relationship, she helped her mother to take care of the tutoring for the students in her class, and Xiao Lai also took this opportunity to officially start her first class. Her mother is very experienced, and she helped Xiaolai contact the bookstore, order a set of teaching materials, and take the children for intensive training. For a whole month, the children learned a lot of knowledge that they had not learned, and Xiao Lai also used her notes to teach the children how to do reading comprehension, how to practice pronunciation, and more importantly, how to deal with the interpersonal relationship of morning reading. Xiao Lai told them that only by seriously devoting themselves to their books can they not be affected by the people around them. She asked everyone to speak out when they read aloud, so as not to be "led by the nose" by others.

Entering her sophomore year, Xiao Lai had to be nervous for a while every time she went to the podium, because she never dared to speak in front of so many people, which once made her have a psychological shadow and was very resistant to speech competitions.

Remember, she messed up in her first speech. Standing on the podium, the speech in her hand was shaking, no matter how she "pinched" the flesh on her legs, she couldn't eliminate her nervousness, her eyes didn't dare to look straight ahead, she looked up to the sky vigorously, and before the speech was finished, her classmates laughed and her stomach hurt, and Xiao Lai was nervous and almost crying.

Thinking about that scene now makes her so embarrassed, but fortunately, after a long period of exercise, Xiao Lai has "easily controlled" the atmosphere of the stage, and her free speech style has earned her a high score. These are her podium experiences. Therefore, she is also going to be a teacher who teaches and educates people. When she saw the job posting, she felt that an opportunity had come.

During the afternoon break, Xiao Lai called the other party.

"Hey, hello, are you looking for an English teacher?"

"Yes, when is it convenient for you to come for an interview?" The other party is the head of a training institution.

"Excuse me, is it okay to work part-time for six days?"

"Let's come over for an interview first."

"Okay."

Xiao Lai agreed very happily, a woman who sounded a little gentle, which made Xiao Lai feel very warm and safe.

On Friday afternoon, Lai downloaded some of the lectures. This time it's mainly the phonetic transcription of the second grade of primary school, and she is better at this part.

After making a few pages of PPT and preparing a self-introduction in English, she read it out loud when there was no one in the dormitory. After practicing a few times, Xiao Lai began to slowly find her feeling from lack of confidence, which made her feel relieved from the bottom of her heart, hard work can make people progress, and perseverance can be truly fruitful.

On Saturday morning, Xiao Lai woke up early. There were not many people in the cafeteria, so she ordered a bowl of porridge, an egg, and two spiced oil salt cakes. It's a must-have breakfast for her every day, and it's a lot to look at, but it's just enough for her.

At this hour, there are fewer people waiting for the bus. Xiao Lai stood there with a handout when she heard someone shouting at her. It turned out to be a clinical little sister, a butterfly.

"Senior sister, what are you doing here?"

"Senior sister, today is a part-time job." The butterfly gestured happily. Since my sister went to the training class to recruit students, every week, the person in charge there will arrange some ground tour guides for her, although she has not obtained a tour guide qualification certificate. Xiao Lai is also happy for her, after all, she is not the kind of gentleman who has nothing to do, and always "stretches out her hands for food and opens her mouth", at least she relies on her own ability to earn material food within her ability.

My sister belongs to the kind of girl who works very hard, although she only has a figure of 155 cm and looks like a child, but she wears heavy makeup and dresses up very fashionably.

I haven't seen my sister for a while, and Xiao Lai misses her a lot. After making a phone call, I learned that she had turned all the way from the sixth floor to the first floor, and her head was scratched, and at that time, it was the most difficult time for her, with a thick strap-on wrapped around her head, and she couldn't wash her hair or makeup for a month, which really suffocated her.

may be far away from the care and love of parents, and the younger sister is always alone. Occasionally talk about a relationship, but she is injured "without skin". She doesn't know what she wants, she is always very willful, and every time she talks on the phone, she yells at her boyfriend on the phone. Maybe that's not the love she wants, maybe she wants bread and love together, but she can't meet her lover for a long time.

My sister used to have close contacts with people in society, but it was limited to legends. What the specific situation is, no one has ever seen it. Xiao Lai didn't pay much attention to her affairs, after all, Xiao Lai was still a student. How to comfort a girl who is hurt in love, it is difficult to talk to Xiao Lai, she will only accompany her silently.

And the continuous part-time work will satisfy her empty and lonely heart, no longer bothered by those sentimental things, and no longer let herself be depressed. Only in this way can a lovelorn woman become strong, mature, and grow from grief.

It was also later, after Xiao Lai experienced those sad stories, he understood why his sister fought so hard in the first place. Perhaps only by making yourself strong can you "love to fall from the sky, which is unspeakably expensive".

Xiao Lai and his sister hurriedly said goodbye and boarded the bus to the interview. Along the way, she took the information and memorized it repeatedly, and the scenery outside the window was also very beautiful, attracting her to frequently stay in the distance, the "wind blowing wheat waves" in the rice fields, at this moment, "going forward and successing", wave after wave. The fields were full of puddles, and many people were fishing. Although it is a vast plain as far as the eye can see, the seafood here is cheap because of its proximity to the Bohai Bay.

When I arrived at the station and got off the bus, Xiao Lai caught up with the market here. There was seafood everywhere, and Xiao Lai turned around and went straight to the training class.

On the way, Xiao Lai asked people nearby about the specific location of the training class, and everyone pointed in that direction, "It's 100 meters in front of you on the left", "The school is newly opened, and my children are taking classes there."

It seems that the reputation of the school is quite good, and everyone in the village knows it. Xiao Laida felt very relieved in her heart, which also made her uneasy heart hang and become much more steady.

When I came to the door, it was a picture of a farmhouse. The classroom is located high up near the road, and there are many paper-cut paintings posted on the two floor-to-ceiling glass windows. Looking inside from the outside, there are a few tables and stools, and a whiteboard.

Xiao Lai knocked on the door, and a woman who looked like a teacher walked out. Xiao Lai thought that this was probably the person in charge who contacted yesterday.

"Hello, I'm here to apply. I called you yesterday. ”

"Hello, please in the house." The other party invited her very calmly, probably thinking that Xiao Lai would not want to come again after the interview like other applicants.

"This is my resume." Xiao Lai handed it to the other party simply and clearly.

"You're an English major, so let's introduce yourself." The teacher motioned for her to sit down.

"Hello, my name is Xiaolai, I studied in a certain school, majoring in English, and I am fluent in listening, speaking, reading and writing." Xiao Lai gave a brief introduction to his personal situation.

"Then you're going to give it a try in a moment."

"Okay."

After a few minutes of preparation, Xiao Lai waited for the students to sit down and began to teach.

"Students, I am your new teacher, this is our first class, please take out your pen and notebook, and take notes later." Although Xiao Lai was a little nervous, he still quickly got into the state, after all, there were only five or six students, so there was not much pressure.

"First of all, let's learn about the five long vowels, which are divided into /i:/, /ɜ:/, /ɔ:/, /ɑ:, /u:/." Xiao Lai taught the students how to pronounce the words one by one, giving examples respectively, so that the children could learn the skills of phonetic transcription one by one. It was almost noon after a class, the time was more appropriate, the children were hungry, and I was also responsible for cooking for the children.

After listening to the class, the person in charge praised Xiao Lai, let her eat first, and then discuss the salary in detail.

Xiao Lai was also a little hungry and ate with the children. Everyone was very curious about the new teacher and kept asking questions about the teacher. Xiao Lai smiled and answered them one by one.

After waiting for the children's lunch break at noon, the person in charge began to "chat" with Xiao Lai.

"What do you want to know about here?"

"It's good, it's just a little far." Xiao Lai voiced the doubts in his heart.

"In addition to distance, what are the salary requirements?"

"I don't know."

"We have classes two days a week, one end of the week, two hours a day, 120 a day, what do you think?"

"It's okay."

"Let's start today." The person in charge recorded her information into the system, Xiao Lai got up and walked around the courtyard, and decided to go back to the car.

This salary made Xiao Lai very satisfied, but he didn't expect his ability to be okay. Thinking like this, the car arrived, and Xiao Lai got in the car, put on his headphones, and went all the way. Behind the happiness is the result of countless lonely nights of hard work. Xiao Lai rarely listens to music like this, because she is afraid that she will collapse when she hears sad content, she will not be able to stop her tears, and she will let her thoughts return to that sad summer.

Xiao Lai didn't want to let herself be in that state, so she had to take off her headphones and enjoy the scenery on the side of the road, which would make her feel better.
