Chapter 5 Tutoring and Failure Tracking
Stanley had all the memories of his predecessors, even when he was a few years old, when he was a little old, when he had a messy memory of the first dream meeting, he accepted it all, but this memory of manual skills and repairing electrical appliances, he was completely blurred, as if his own memory had been mosaiced, and the memory of these contents, Stanley couldn't remember anyway.
This is also the reason why he did not hesitate to refuse the proprietress politely, otherwise why would he refuse this opportunity to make money, but he did not refuse completely, but wanted to try to see if he could recall those memories in the past few days, if he really couldn't remember those memories again, then he had to find a new life to support himself.
Fortunately, his predecessor did not leave him with any mess, and he was able to start his life again, but this required him to observe for a few days to see what he could do, and maybe he could become a Chinese-English translator, Stanley thought a little bored.
"Hey, little boy, what are you thinking?" Susan, well, the fat aunt proprietress who woke up Stanley who was caught up in her own memories.
"Oh, nothing, just remembering what I just told you." Stanley shrugged and didn't answer Susan's question head-on.
"Alright, Stan (familiar people call him that), come back and fix my computer when you have time, but not more than one remember, little John is waiting to use the computer." Susan tapped Stanley on the shoulder, indicating that she could wait some time.
"Thank you, Susan, I'll remember it." The other party's kindness, Stanley really took it to heart, as for the computer, I will take a look at it later, if it's not too big a problem, you can give it a try, as for the real hardware problem, then let's talk about it then.
After eating, Stanley said goodbye to the proprietress and went to the convenience store to buy some tableware, hygiene products and underwear for his own use, as for the previous ones, he still threw them away! Stanley couldn't help but think.
When he picked up his things and returned home, Stanley already felt a little tired, hurriedly put the things he had bought back, took a shower and went to sleep. As for the debate about whether it is better to take a shower in the morning or at night, Stanley said that he washes twice a day.
In this way, a week has passed, Stanley has eased from the excitement at the beginning, and has gradually integrated into the new life, except for occasionally remembering some fragments of his previous life, the rest of the time he is not too sad.
After a week of observation and practice, Stanley finally knew that he could no longer live like Stanley before, because Stanley's most important skill repair ability had been emptied, although it was unknown who had emptied it (fog). Since this road is blocked by God, Stanley needs to open a window and let himself continue to live in this relatively stable Astoria, because it is not only close to Manhattan to fulfill some of his small wishes (closer to superheroes, although it is said that it is not contacted, but the inferiority of people!). There is also a very good security, unless it is revealed that there is only one person living here like last time, and he can't go out, and so on, people will be suspicious when they hear it, otherwise there will be no danger to life.
That's right, it's life-threatening, and he can hear in the newspapers or on the news every day that there are some large-scale clashes on the Jamaican side, some people are robbing houses, people are robbing money, and so on, well, it's scary to think about, especially for us good men who live in stable areas.
Okay, let's get down to business, so what exactly does Stanley use to support himself? Be a tutor! That's right, he went back to being a teacher, tutoring the English of a young boy from a Chinese couple in Flushing, a couple from China who came to China a few years ago to open a restaurant, and when their children were old enough to go to school, they brought them to the United States and now needed a governess.
They originally wanted to find an international student to call their child, but Stanley appeared, and his fluency in Chinese and a quarter of his Chinese ancestry made the family choose him (in fact, when Stanley said that he could tutor the child in the first grade, this is the real reason, oh, don't hit me!). )。
Four days a week, two hours a day, $300 per hour. That's Stanley's salary, and there's no way anyone can make him a kid. Some regular tutors earn as much as $1,200 an hour or better, but it's a perfect job for Stanley, at least more than his predecessor, and it's more stable, but it's just a bit of trouble when he comes back at night.
As a Chinese, although it has been three or four years since coming to the United States, some habits of the couple have not changed, although Stanley is a fourteen or fifteen-year-old child, but no matter how to say that it is also the teacher of their own children, the couple still respects Stanley more, and Stanley also treats the children's learning more attentively.
On this day, after Stanley finished teaching and said goodbye to the couple and the little boy Xiao Ming, he walked all the way to the bus stop, and when he arrived at the bus stop, he was suddenly stunned by a figure, it was a tall man in cheap sportswear, a black man with a height of about 1.9 meters.
That's right, the guy who invaded his house and stabbed himself to death before he became Stanley. When the car came, Stanley was very surprised to find that the other party was actually the same car as himself.
This discovery made Stanley stunned, and the ghost made a miracle to follow the tall black man, sitting farther behind the tall man, and kept his head down and couldn't stop thinking about something. There are all kinds of messy thoughts about calling the police, taking revenge, and escaping from here, but he is very strange, he has been sitting quietly in his place, even when he arrives in the neighborhood where his home is located, he does not get out of the car.
The car stopped, the door was opened, and the tall man looked around and stepped out of the car. At this time, Stanley also got out of the car, and stepped forward pretending not to care, his eyes observing the tall man. After walking for nearly ten minutes, Stanley followed the black man very unfamiliarly, he saw the other party communicating with a group of people, and immediately walked into the convenience store on the side, where after a bottle of water, he pretended to drink and observed the few people, and soon found the two helpers who invaded his house with the tall man.
Stanley found that the people over there seemed to be looking here, and immediately lowered his head and drank a few sips of cold water, and the cold water stimulated him to wake up immediately, but now Stanley didn't know what to do, just looked at the signs on the road, he had come to Jamaica, which was not very good security, and looked at the time It was almost nine o'clock, Stanley decided to leave here, as for the tall black man, just take it as his own impulse.
He sighed, looked around and found that he was actually following the other party all the way to a relatively remote street, he panicked slightly, and subconsciously looked at the tall black man, but he was very horrified to find that the other party actually showed his row of white teeth to him.
"Oops, I've been discovered!"
