The Days of Opening a Restaurant on an Abnormal Earth

Niu Ben was very angry because something happened today.

Niu Ben studied at a key middle school in Huaihai City, called Caoyang No. 7 Middle School. This is the best school in Putuo District and the best school in Huaihai City.

In Huaihai City, where land is very expensive, and it can be regarded as a central location, Caoyang No. 7 Middle School has a main campus the size of more than five standard football fields, and two branch campuses covering an area of ​​more than 10,000 square meters.

As far as the scale of the school is concerned, some shabby universities with two or three universities may not have the grandeur of Caoyang No. 7 High School. The enrollment rate of this school is also quite high in Huaihai City.

Not to mention the hardware conditions, foreign teachers are standard configurations for oral English classes. Physical education class has indoor and outdoor standard sports fields, including basketball, volleyball, football (half-court size).

The school also has its own orchestra, with nearly a hundred members, all using Suzuki instruments.

It can be said that there are not many middle schools that are better than Caoyang No. 7 Middle School in terms of teacher qualifications and hardware facilities. At least in Huaihai City, there are probably only a handful of schools of this level (not including high-end private schools).

The most important point is that Caoyang No. 7 Middle School is a public school, not an expensive private school. Although the qualifications of teachers and hardware standards are comparable to those of high-end private middle schools, tuition fees are still charged according to the standards stipulated by the state.

The tuition and miscellaneous fees are only a few thousand yuan for one semester, which is nothing compared to the tens of thousands or even tens of thousands of tuition fees in high-end private schools.

Therefore, there are naturally many people who want to enter this middle school, and one can imagine how much competition pressure there is.

Niu Ben was able to enter No. 7 Middle School because his grades in cultural subjects were very good. Most of the time, he got full marks in mathematics, and both Chinese and English remained at a floating level of around 90 points (percentage test papers).

But even so, there is no guarantee that you will be selected when you enroll. In order for Niu Ben to study in the No. 7 Middle School, Niu Xiaoli, the elder sister of Niu, has spent a lot of work and entrusted many people. Niu Xiaoli started looking for someone in the second half of the sixth grade.

Later, a teacher in the teaching group of No. 7 Middle School valued Niu Ben and thought he was smart enough. But which student who wants to enter No. 7 Middle School is not smart? So the teacher said to Niu Xiaoli: "Let Niu Ben learn an orchestral instrument, saxophone or western flute or something. Let him have a specialty, and we will give priority to students with the same score and close scores. There is an orchestra in the school. To live a long life."

So in order for Niu Ben to enter No. 7 Middle School, Niu Xiaoli spent thousands of dollars to buy a saxophone for Niu Ben. It cost another 10,000 yuan to let Niu Ben go to the music classroom to learn saxophone in the second semester of the sixth grade.

Don't say that Niu Xiaoli is pressing hard, there is no way to do it. Because the teacher of No. 7 Middle School told her very clearly that there are two types of students who can enter No. 7 Middle School. One is smart students like Niu Ben, but with so many smart students, who can guarantee that they will have an advantage? What if the exam fails? Sometimes the difference is only three or five points, but the result is completely different.

There is another kind of students who are backdoor students, which is an unavoidable topic. It is a bit difficult for the school to build such a large school and provide students with such good teaching conditions, relying entirely on state funding. Therefore, some students who are willing to pay very expensive sponsorship fees every year can also come in, and the number must be controlled.

There are also children of some leaders, so I don't need to go into details. China is a society of personal relationships, and this is an inescapable problem.

Niu Xiaoli has neither money nor background. Niu Ben can only rely on his own efforts to get Niu Ben into such a good school. Speaking of which, Niu Ben is quite competitive, and he has learned sax in half a year.

The high school entrance examination scores are quite high, and with the specialty of saxophone, he also successfully entered the seventh middle school. Because of his expertise in saxophone, he successfully entered the school orchestra.

However, because he is only in the first year of junior high school, Niu Ben can only stay in the second team with his classmates in the same lower grades, and cannot become the first team for formal performances.

And today when Niu Ben was going to school, it happened that the school's monthly examination report card came down. Although Niu Ben is often mean to Zhang Tong and always pricks Zhang Tong's heart, he is still a good student at school.

For example, this monthly exam is a 100-point test paper. Mathematics full score, Chinese 95, English 98. This result is the first in the class and the fourth in the whole grade.

When the results of the test papers came out, Niu Ben once again won applause from his classmates. Sitting in the front row of Niu Ben was their class monitor, a girl with ponytails, big eyes, and fair skin, Chen Yao.

As the class monitor, Chen Yao couldn't help but said to Niu Ben when she handed out the test papers: "Niu Ben, you are really good! You got the first place in the class again."

Niu Ben rested his chin and sighed: "Alas, a mistake, a mistake! I actually misspelled a word and deducted two points for English. Otherwise, I would be the second in the whole grade."

Chen Yao blinked her big eyes and said with some admiration: "Wow, you're already fourth in the whole grade, aren't you satisfied? I only got eleventh in the exam, and I didn't even make it into the top ten."

Niu Ben waved his hand a little proudly: "Small thing~, the examination room is like a battlefield, if you don't get the first place in the whole grade, then the next test will be meaningless."

What Niu Ben said was a bit pretentious, but it was normal. Who hasn't a little vanity? Especially Chen Yao is still a very beautiful little girl, Niu Ben is very satisfied to be able to gain the admiration of this kind of girl.

"You are amazing." Chen Yao really admired Niu Ben. She sat down on her chair facing Niu Ben, put her hands on Niu Ben's desk and said, "Niu Ben, are you free?"

"What?" Niu Ben looked at Chen Yao and asked.

"Teach me about math. My quadratic equation in one yuan is always bad. Please help me when you have time." Chen Yao looked at Niu Ben with big eyes blinking.

Niu Ben thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Okay, a pack of Dove chocolates."

"Okay!" Chen Yao agreed without thinking, "I'll send you a WeChat message on Saturday afternoon, let's meet at Burger King in Global Harbor."

Chen Yao stretched out her white and tender little hand, and Niu Ben clapped her hands knowingly and agreed: "Okay."

Chen Yao turned around with a smile, then she seemed to think of something again, she turned around and said, "Are you going to practice with the orchestra this afternoon? Can I watch you practice? Can you play independent pieces on saxophone?"

Facing Chen Yao's question, Niu Ben said, "I have to practice in the afternoon, but I'm in the second team, so I can't go to the performance booth. I can only do practice. I can play saxophone music, but I don't have a chance to play in the school team. If you want to hear it, I'll take Sachs to Universal Harbor on Saturday."

Chen Yao's eyes lit up: "Okay! If you play well, we will perform at the entrance of Universal Port. I will let you earn back the money you paid to go to Burger King."

"No problem!" Niu Ben responded with a smile.

Niu Ben and Chen Yao chatted very happily, but some people were very unhappy. That is Huang Zeying, who is two rows behind the left of Niu Ben's seat. He just got his monthly exam results.

Mathematics 85, Chinese 80, English 82. If this result is in a general middle school, it is at least above the middle level. But in No. 7 Middle School, Huang Zeying was the fourth from last in the class. The bottom 20 of the whole grade.

There are two kinds of students in No. 7 Middle School, one is those who come in by ability, and the one with thousands of troops rushing in. Another option is by the back door.

Huang Zeying came in through the back door. He was not a student of the No. 7 Middle School and never felt that his grades were bad. But after his mother worked hard to help him temporarily transfer to No. 7 Middle School, he realized that he couldn't keep up with the teaching rhythm here. The results have not been very good.

In the former school, I was a man of the hour. Because his father is a big leader and his family is rich. Food and beverages are top notch. A pair of genuine zebra shoes he wears costs more than 4,000 yuan, and a smart watch costs more than 3,000 yuan.

Huang Zeying is used to the feeling of being coaxed and envied by others. But when he arrived in Class 1 and 3 of No. 7 Middle School, all his aura was taken away.

That fat man can actually become a man of the hour in the class and grade. He is in the top five in every grade test, and he is still in the second team of the school orchestra. He also serializes a novel called "Observation Diary of Homecoming" on the school forum. Even the Chinese teacher specially exempted his diary and weekly homework.

Why is he? ! Huang Zeying was dissatisfied in his heart, especially the adoration in Chen Yao's eyes when he looked at Niu Ben, which made him very upset.

What a fart he is! What does he know? Has he ever left Huaihai at such an age? Has he been to Tokyo or New York? What has he seen before, walking around these broken streets every day. Huang Zeying feels that she is better than Niu Ben and has a wider knowledge, but she has no chance to express herself.

He doesn't like Bull Run. But Niu Ben doesn't like him either. Niu Ben had complained to Zhang Tong before. In the classmate’s WeChat group, there is a guy who posts every day what kind of high-end food he ate in a high-end hotel.

What are the souvenirs brought back from the Alps, and what are the National Day holidays to fly to Hokkaido to soak in hot springs and so on. Show off how rich your family is all day long. Niu Ben is particularly unhappy with Huang Zeying, just like Huang Zeying doesn't like Niu Ben.

Although the two are classmates, they don't know how to talk to each other at all. Because they look down on each other. Originally, this contempt and contradiction were still hidden. However, this conflict was intensified during the orchestra rehearsal this afternoon.

The excuse Huang Zeying used to transfer to the No. 7 Middle School was that he was an outstanding student in orchestral music, and he played the western flute. But the level is really average, not to mention performing on behalf of the school, you have to keep your voice down when playing by yourself, so as not to be thrown at the level of bricks.

But this is the excuse used, and the school recognized Huang Zeying's father's face. He was also assigned to the school orchestra, but not to mention the first team, he couldn't even get into the second team. Enter the third team and re-learn the basics with the teacher.

During the orchestra training this afternoon, Chen Yao went to the stadium as scheduled to watch Niu Ben's rehearsal, and waved to him. This made Huang Zeying very upset.

Twelve or thirteen years old is the age when love is ignorant, and it is unreasonable to hate and like many things.

And even more uncomfortable things came later, the teacher in charge of the orchestra announced something. A saxophonist in the first team temporarily quit the orchestra because he had to prepare for the high school entrance examination in the third year of junior high school. Niu Ben from the second team came in as a substitute.

Then the teacher announced another news that made many people excited. Because No.7 Middle School and Midtown Science and Technology Middle School in New York formed a sister school three years ago. The school also has a tradition of orchestra, which is a famous school band in New York and even the United States.

During the winter vacation this year, the other party sent an invitation to the orchestra of the No. 7 Middle School to go to New York for exchange and study. The two schools will carry out a one-month exchange teaching. Zhongcheng Science and Technology Middle School will also send a team to Huaihai for exchange and study.

This time, exchange study students only need to pay for round-trip air tickets, and other expenses will be borne by both schools. However, the number is limited, and only one team of students can go to New York.

Niu Ben was stunned, while Huang Zeying felt that he was about to be pissed off!

PS: A chapter will be updated in the early hours of the morning, so tickets~
