Yang Wei and Gao Wan had no choice but to agree to execute the contract, but Xia Ping was not interested in watching it anymore, because it was late and he needed to go home for dinner.
As soon as he got home, Xia Ping immediately asked a strong smell of meat, the fragrance was tangy, and even the cells of his body were eager, he couldn't help swallowing his saliva.
"Mom, what kind of food did you stir-fry today, why is it so delicious?"
A chubby middle-aged woman in an apron leaned forward. She was Xia Ping’s mother, Huang Lanxin, and smiled slightly: “This is the fire-bearing beast meat you just bought. Today you have a good meal.”
"Fire bear beast meat? Did you get rich today? How could you buy these?" Xia Ping's eyes widened. This fire bear beast is a powerful monster famous for Yanhuang Star.
However, this meat is very precious and contains a lot of life energy. It can improve physical fitness and even strengthen the body's zhenqi after it is taken. It is no less than a big medicine tonic, and it is many times better than the ginseng and deer antler on the earth. .
But the price is also very expensive, six hundred federal dollars per catty is considered a luxury item, and ordinary people can't afford it at all.
"If you don't get rich, you can't buy it. Occasionally, you have to be extravagant. If you make money without spending it, don't you bring it into the coffin?" Dad Xia Chuanliu, who was sitting in the living room, coughed, showing a very generous look.
Xia Ping looked speechless. He remembered that his father Xia Chuanliu was a civil servant. He worked in the city administration and was responsible for managing the small businessmen and hawkers in the city. To put it simply, it was the city management. There was an establishment. There were five to six thousand monthly wages plus benefits. Federal currency.
My mother is a small business hawker who sets up a street stall, selling snacks. Although she does not earn much every month, she also has three thousand federal dollars. It seems that a family's income is more than ten thousand federal dollars.
The problem is that this house was also bought with a loan. It has a 30-year period and has to repay three thousand federal dollars every month. In addition to the monthly living expenses, Xia Ping’s tuition, etc., it is also a bit stretched. of.
Eating fire bear animal meat once is not really cruel to this heart.
"Okay, okay, don't say so much, hurry up and eat." Mother Huang Lanxin quickly brought up a plate of dishes, and the table was filled with five dishes and one soup. The array was dazzling, fragrant, and very rich.
Seeing such a sumptuous cuisine, Xia Ping's heart beats. This is completely a Hongmen Banquet. His father, who is so stingy who smokes only a cigarette butt to give up, would never be so generous.
"Dad, honestly tell me if our family owes us a loan shark. After this last supper, we plan to pack up and run away. Tell me the truth directly, I can stand it." Xia Ping looked very solemn and stared. Own dad.
He was very emotional. The day finally came. He also knew his father's character, and he was usually a little gambler. He thought that this character would go wrong sooner or later, but he didn't expect it to come.
"Son, what are your eyes, what do you owe usury, what do you plan to run away, do you think your father and me are like this?" Dad Xia Chuan's nose was crooked.
Xia Ping blinked his eyes: "Don't owe usury?"
"Of course not."
Dad Xia Chuanliu arrogantly said: "I'm a civil servant anyway, with a staff, and I have a higher mental awareness than ordinary people. How can I be addicted to gambling. Of course, occasionally a small gambling can also cultivate my sentiment. Isn’t there a saying? Small gambling Rejoice, gamble to get rich, and gambling is gone."
"Well, can you tell me what the hell is going on with this meal?" Xia Ping was still a little skeptical.
Seeing that his son still doubted himself, Xia Chuanliu's face was a bit embarrassed. Who said that his usual image is not good, he coughed: "It's not a problem, it's all to this level, I'll tell you directly. Today your school should also start to talk about the way, and plan to fill in the volunteers. What are your plans for the future?"
He looked at Xia Ping with burning eyes.
"I plan to take college entrance exams." Xia Ping replied casually.
Mother Huang Lanxin exclaimed: "You, do you plan to take college entrance exams?!"
"Son, it's true, you still have this idea?" Dad Xia Chuanliu looked at Xia Ping in horror.
Xia Ping twitched the corners of his mouth. What the hell was going on? Ordinary parents were very happy when they heard that their son wanted to take college entrance exams? These two goods are like hell.
"I have such an idea."
Xia Ping said honestly.
"Son, this idea is wrong, it's deviant."
Xia Chuanliu looked distressed: "What's so good about going to college? After four years of study, it's not only three or four thousand federal coins a month after four years of study. If you are unlucky, you don't have five insurances and one gold when you meet a black-hearted boss. In addition, four years of tuition have to be paid, which is not a small sum.
Dad, I've thought it through to you. After graduating from high school, I will leave for a job and work in a government department. Don't go to other departments, just go to your dad's city administration.
Don't look at your dad's low-key face. After working for 20 years, he still has some connections. He usually plays mahjong with the minister. He usually flatters and hugs his thighs.
When the time comes, I will stuff a few cigarettes over, bribe the minister, walk through the back door, and you will enter the city management bureau. Then you and dad and I will go to sweep the streets, make contributions to the city management, and drive away young people. The hawker has become a hegemon in the city. A family and two city management, said how prestigious to go out, it is estimated that the matchmaker will pass the threshold of our house by then. "
Having said this, he showed a triumphant look with a look of longing.
Xia Ping twitched the corners of his mouth, with a speechless expression, and said, "Dad, I still want to go to college."
"You! Rotten wood can't be carved!"
Xia Chuanliu's eyes widened, showing a look of hatred for iron and steel.
"Okay, don't say these things. Let's eat quickly. It's still a while before graduating from high school. You can think about it slowly." Seeing that the atmosphere became a little stiff, mother Huang Lanxin quickly discouraged.
"All right."
Hearing this, Xia Chuanliu did not continue to speak.
Half an hour later, after dinner, Xia Ping went back to his bedroom to rest. Only Huang Lanxin and Xia Chuanliu were left in the living room.
"Chuan Liu, my son doesn't seem to agree with you very much." Huang Lanxin looked at her husband.
Xia Chuanliu waved his hand, completely indifferent: "This is a period of resistance for young people. I have also been young and understand. But the reality is that his grades are average. After the college entrance examination, his grades come out, you will know how wise his father is. Shenwu. I'll talk about it then, he will definitely agree."
Huang Lanxin also nodded. She also knew that her son's grades were average, and it was hard to get into a third-rate university. If you almost play, I'm afraid you will fail.
