No matter how hard it is to open your mouth, you still have to do it for the sake of the future.
After all, registration is due next Monday, and Fang Ping is not a god. He only has one day tomorrow, so where can he raise 10,000 yuan.
After his father Fang Mingrong dragged his tired body home and the family was having dinner at the table, Fang Ping finally spoke.
"Dad, I want to register for martial arts next week. The registration fee... is ten thousand yuan."
As soon as Fang Ping finished speaking, the whole room fell silent instantly.
Fang Mingrong is in his early forties, and his face is not old, but a little pale.
Fang Mingrong works in a ceramics factory in the suburbs of Yangcheng. He is not considered a skilled worker, just an ordinary worker.
In Yangcheng, where the average salary for ordinary workers is around 2,000 yuan, Fang Mingrong's monthly salary is more than 3,000 yuan.
It's not that the boss appreciates him more, or that Fang Mingrong does a good job.
The key is that if you work in a ceramics factory for a long time, you are prone to silicosis, so your salary should be higher, which is almost like exchanging health for money.
But Fang Mingrong had to do it.
There are two children in the family, one is in high school and the other is in junior high school. They don’t have to spend money on food, clothing, housing and transportation.
They also had to save for Fang Ping's college tuition, and they had to consider getting married and buying a house after Fang Ping graduated from college. The whole family's life was tight.
Excluding daily expenses, it would take the couple almost half a year to save 10,000 yuan.
In today's society, martial arts is respected.
Although Fang Mingrong is an ordinary person, he also understands that the martial arts exam is difficult, as difficult as reaching the sky!
In the huge city of Yangcheng, tens of thousands of students take the college entrance examination every year. Among them, the number of students who have passed the martial arts examination can be counted on two hands.
Yangcheng No. 1 Middle School, where Fang Ping is from, is considered the best high school in Yangcheng.
But even so, only 5 students from Yangcheng No. 1 Middle School were admitted to the martial arts department last year, while there were nearly 1,500 senior high school students in the No. 1 Middle School and more than 20 in the regular class.
In 2007, among the more than 20 ordinary classes, there were a total of two people admitted to the martial arts department.
Fang Mingrong, who has participated in several parent-teacher meetings, is familiar with this news. Even the teachers of No. 1 Middle School took the initiative to publicize it, because being able to produce two martial arts students in the ordinary class is not a shortcoming, but an advantage. The teachers of No. 1 Middle School should be proud of it.
Now, is it worth spending 10,000 yuan for an illusory opportunity?
Fang Mingrong was in no hurry to speak, but Li Yuying hesitated.
Fangyuan lowered his head and did not dare to speak. Compared to Fang Ping, he only understood these common senses. Fangyuan, who was already in junior high school, knew more than Fang Ping.
Fang Mingrong held the small wine glass and glanced at his son. After a moment, he nodded and said, "I will ask your mother to give you the bank card later. You can withdraw 10,000 yuan by yourself tomorrow."
"Dad..." Fang Ping gritted his teeth and wanted to say a few words to comfort his father.
However, Fang Mingrong interrupted directly and said, "Whether you pass the exam or not, it's enough for you to have this intention.
Even if you don't pass the exam, at least with more experience, you can still give me some advice when Yuanyuan goes to high school.
Although my family is not rich, this is a lifetime event!"
Although there is no hope, applying for martial arts is a major matter of whether one can leap over the dragon's gate in this life. If Fang Ping doesn't mention it himself, then Fang Mingrong won't either.
But my son mentioned it. At worst, he would have to work overtime, and ten thousand yuan would not be enough to bring down the Fang family.
When his father said this, Fang Ping stopped talking.
At this time, no matter how many heroic words you say, it is useless.
What's more, Fang Ping wasn't sure he would actually pass the exam.
It is true that he was reborn, but he did not return from cultivating immortality. Even if he didn't know the specific items to be tested, he knew that physical fitness and the like were inseparable.
In fact, Fang Ping briefly understood it and asked for more than this.
Fang Ping is really not sure whether he can pass the martial arts examination.
However, even if you fail to pass the exam, it will be difficult to make a lot of money in the future, but it will not be difficult to make a small amount of money, and there may not be a chance of becoming a warrior.
Therefore, regarding the future, Fang Ping feels that even if he does not reach the highest point, he will not be like now, cheating girls for 20 yuan of pocket money.
Having solved the biggest obstacle at present, Fang Ping felt a lot more relaxed.
Fangyuan is the treasure of the family. Seeing that everyone was still immersed in the topic just now, she changed the topic with a smile: "Fang Ping, do you really want to take the martial arts exam?"
Fang Ping smiled when he saw this and said: "Of course, when your brother and I pass the martial arts examination and become a warrior, you will be prosperous in the future.
Next semester, when you go to school, you can show off to your classmates and say, "My brother is a warrior."
I can guarantee that you will be the bully of your school by then, and no one will dare to call you ‘Yuangungun’ again.”
"Fang Ping!"
Fangyuan was furious again. Because the little girl had a round face and a round name, she was nicknamed "Ruan Gungun" by a naughty boy just a few days after entering junior high school!
Because of this, the little girl was ready to duel with those boys.
Fang Ping was not picking up the pot at the moment. Fang Yuan was so angry that he didn't care about saving face for his brother, and said angrily: "You will definitely fail the exam. It is better to waste so much money and buy something delicious!"
"Yuanyuan!"
Fang Mingrong and his wife scolded him almost at the same time, and Fang Yuan immediately woke up, lowered his head and muttered: "I'm just talking, maybe I'll pass the exam."
Fang Ping laughed and made a face-squeezing gesture towards Fangyuan. Fangyuan rolled her eyes angrily.
…
After dinner, Li Yuying gave Fang Ping her bank card at home.
She has to go to work tomorrow, and Fang Ping is not a child anymore, so there is no problem in withdrawing money by herself.
In the past, when the family needed money, Fang Ping would sometimes be asked to pick it up.
Fang Ping, who took the bank card, was quite emotional and murmured: "My parents are relieved, they are not afraid that I will take them all..."
There is naturally more than 10,000 yuan in the card. In the past, Fang Ping would not have touched it.
But now...
After shaking his head, Fang Ping shook his head. Forget about this kind of thing. If necessary, just tell your parents directly. Taking it without telling you is no different from stealing.
…
A night of silence.
The next day, April 6th.
Fang Ping got up early, but his parents got up earlier than him and had already left for work.
After a simple wash, there was still the breakfast my mother had made in the morning on the dining table, a few dishes of side dishes, and a bowl of fried golden eggs.
Fang Ping was used to buying breakfast on the way to work and eating on the go. He sat on a chair and ate slowly. This feeling was quite enjoyable.
If he was simply going back to the past now, then Fang Ping would really be in no hurry at all.
What is the college entrance examination?
Even if he does not take the college entrance examination, with his years of social experience, the probability of seizing some opportunities and taking advantage of the situation is very high!
But it's different now. If I don't seize the opportunity of this martial arts examination, it's hard to say whether I will have such an opportunity again in the future.
Moreover, if you don’t become a warrior, you will have to look forward and backward when doing business.
Fang Ping can clearly distinguish the priorities. At this moment, the most important thing is the college entrance examination, especially the martial arts examination!
Everything else has to go to the back.
Unless he fails the exam this time, Fang Ping will consider other ways next.
After sorting out the next priorities, Fang Ping finished his breakfast and prepared to go out to withdraw money. He also observed the situation and learned about the specific differences in today's society.
Just as he was about to go out, Fang Yuan, who was already fully dressed, ran out of the room and hurriedly said: "Fang Ping, I'm going too!"
"What are you going to do?"
"I don't care, I'm going anyway, and you have to buy me delicious food. Who asked you to use my pocket money?"
Fang Ping laughed, but he didn't refuse. He just went to withdraw money, and it wasn't anything private.
With this girl here, maybe some trouble can be avoided. After all, Fang Ping doesn't know if there are other things in this world that he doesn't understand.
…
When he went out, it was still early, and Fang Ping was not in a hurry to go to the bank.
Walking side by side with Fangyuan on the street, Fangyuan ignored him and looked around happily, curious about everything, as if she was reborn.
The streets outside the community are not much different from what I remember.
If there weren't those annoying advertisements, Fang Ping would be much more relaxed.
"Moisturizing skin care, the master said it is good after using it!"
"Xtep, run faster than a warrior!"
"The secret recipe passed down from the family, a packet of entrance, a warrior can get it!"
"..."
There are all kinds of things, almost all of which can be related to warriors.
In fact, over the years, Yangcheng has a population of hundreds of thousands, and there are probably no more than 20 warriors who have actually stayed in Yangcheng.
Warriors are actually very far away from the people of Yangcheng!
But this does not prevent everyone from discussing, paying attention, and advertising. Anyway, I am not referring to anyone in particular.
In this era, martial arts experts are the real stars.
Of course, big stars are usually strong in martial arts.
After looking around along the road, Fang Ping ignored the eye-catching advertisements and bought a few skewers for Fangyuan on the way, which were said to be "good even if the warrior eats them". At this moment, Fang Ping only had a 10-yuan note left in his pocket.
The little girl was so happy that she didn't realize at all that what Fang Ping spent was actually her pocket money.
After walking around for a while, Fang Ping led Fangyuan towards the ATM machine not far away.
…
Insert the card, enter the password, and withdraw money.
When entering the password, Fangyuan guarded Fang Ping as if to guard against thieves, looking around for fear of someone coming to peek.
At this time, the ATM machine can withdraw up to 2,000 yuan at a time.
When the ATM machine spit out the first banknote, Fang Ping was suddenly stunned for a moment as soon as he took it into his hand.
Stunned, Fang Ping did not continue the operation for a while.
Fangyuan, who was watching the situation, hurriedly said: "Fang Ping, is there fake money? Last time I saw on the news that bank ATMs also have fake money, but the bank still doesn't admit it..."
The little girl was a little anxious and kept talking. At the end of the sentence, she was a little angry and said: "We have to change it back and find someone from the bank!"
At this moment, Fang Ping didn't pay much attention to what she said.
Fang Ping frowned slightly, thought for a while, then continued to operate the machine and began to withdraw the second amount of funds.
Soon, the second tranche of 2,000 yuan was also spit out from the cash dispenser.
Fang Ping quickly took the money into his hand. Then, just like the first time, Fang Ping paused for a while while holding the money without moving.
Fangyuan on the side was also a little confused at this time, and asked strangely: "Fang Ping, are you stupid?"
"Is it counterfeit money?"
"Speak!"
"Hey, Fang Ping, what are you doing!"
"Fang Ping..."
"Have you lost your sight on money?"
The little girl kept talking. Fang Ping, who was standing next to her, glanced sideways at her and suddenly handed the banknote in his hand to her and said, "Take it."
Fang Yuan's chubby little face was full of confusion, but he still took the banknote, held it in his hand and looked at Fang Ping.
Fang Ping: "What does it feel like?"
Fangyuan: "...can you not apply for martial arts and let's buy some delicious food?"
Fang Ping burst into laughter and said quickly: "So, you just don't feel anything anymore?"
At this moment, Fangyuan had the urge to run away. She stared at him with her big round eyes and said angrily: "You bullied me again!"
"No, not this time."
Fang Ping couldn't hide the smile on his face, and then said: "I was teasing you just now, okay, I will continue to withdraw the money. After withdrawing, let's go home!"
Next, Fangyuan looked at his elder brother and stupidly started to withdraw money.
The reason why he is called stupid is because Fang Ping's operation of withdrawing money is too coquettish.
One time I would take 100 yuan, and another time I would take 200 yuan. Anyway, they were never the same.
Fang Ping withdrew ten thousand yuan a total of ten times.
Not counting this, after withdrawing enough 10,000 yuan and there was still balance in the card, Fang Ping continued to withdraw money.
Just when Fangyuan thought he was going to enrich himself, he saw another blinding scene!
Fang Ping took it out, put it in again, took it out, put it in again, and operated it back and forth, completely confusing Fang Yuan.
Not just Fang Yuan, there were actually others behind the two waiting to withdraw money.
Fang Ping had been occupying the ATM machine for almost half an hour. Seeing that this guy wanted to continue, someone behind him finally couldn't help but stormed out: "Young man, that's it! Withdraw one million, deposit one million, it's been so long
That’s enough!”
Fang Yuan was still young, not thick-skinned enough, and felt that he was wrong. His face instantly turned red, and he pulled Fang Ping's arm hard.
Fang Ping was almost done with the experiment, so he calmly deposited the extra money and pulled out the card.
When he got out of the ATM machine area, Fang Ping suddenly had a happy expression on his face, and he kept laughing "hehehehe" like no one else was watching.
Fang Yuan on the side felt that his hair was standing on end. Was Fang Ping stimulated?
"Fang Ping?"
"Hey hey hey..."
"You...don't scare me?"
"Hey hey hey hey..."
"Woo, Fang Ping, what's wrong with you?"
"Hehehe...cough, it's okay, go home!"
Seeing that Fang Yuan was about to cry because of his fright, Fang Ping coughed dryly, suppressed the urge to laugh wildly, and pulled the little girl to go home.
PS: Let’s talk briefly about the update. The new book issue is guaranteed to be updated twice a day. If the new book issue is updated too fast and the grades cannot be improved, half of the book will be useless, so there can be no more updates.
Two more specific times will be confirmed after I finish signing the contract.
Finally, he yelled angrily, "Do you have any collection of recommended votes?"
If you don’t vote to collect it, be careful of the eagle that comes to your house in the middle of the night and says “hey hey hey”, it won’t scare you to death!
