Chapter 0003, The Choice of Fate

On Saturday afternoon, the school ended its classes and all students were allowed to return to school as per the rules.

"I have to pay the registration fee next week, 20,000 yuan, and I don't know how to ask my parents. ”

Walking on the road, Zhang Xiaoyu looked at the advertisements for martial artists on both sides of the road, and all kinds of propaganda about martial artists, and couldn't help but sigh again.

If nothing has changed, then Zhang Xiaoyu's home should also be the same as it was.

I know my own family situation, my parents are ordinary working-class employees, my father works in a machine factory, and my mother is an elementary school teacher, and the average income of both of them is about 1,000.

There is a deposit at home, which Zhang Xiaoyu also believes, after all, when his parents left in the previous life, he gave himself a passbook of 100,000 yuan.

However, at that time, more than ten years have passed since then, and at this moment, when he was reborn into the college entrance examination, Zhang Xiaoyu was not sure how much savings his family had.

Moreover, the most important thing is that although Zhang Xiaoyu is imperative to apply for the martial arts examination, he actually has no confidence at all about whether he can be admitted, Zhang Xiaoyu made a special trip to check his information on Saturday, and at present, his physical fitness is much lower than the standard line.

The registration fee is only the first expense, if you want to be admitted to the martial arts, you must pass the physical fitness, in addition to cultural classes, even if you sign up successfully, you also need a lot of resources to strengthen your body, which is also a huge expense, and your family will definitely not be able to afford it.

If you don't get into the martial arts, you won't be able to realize your majestic ambitions, let alone change your fate and the fate of your family.

As for taking the money to speculate in stocks first, Zhang Xiaoyu also thought about it, and finally rejected his idea, because he heard that a guy in the school won one million in the lottery ticket, and then disappeared inexplicably.

Among them, in addition to the fact that the guy who won the lottery is too arrogant, there must be other reasons.

Ordinary people, if they want to gain a foothold in this world, it is too difficult, not to mention that the current Zhang Xiaoyu knows nothing about this world and the stock market of Huaxia Kingdom, even if the stock market really develops according to the previous script.

If Zhang Xiaoyu makes money by speculating in stocks, unless he can make himself strong in a short period of time, otherwise, once the news of his money leaks out, it is estimated that he will disappear inexplicably.

Even if he is low-key enough, there is no impermeable wall in this world, and Zhang Xiaoyu is not a teenage hairy boy, so he is naturally more thoughtful in doing things.

In this way, being admitted to the martial arts department has become the only way.

If you want to make money and change the fate of yourself and your family, you have to make money, and making money means that you have to be admitted to the martial arts, and you need a huge amount of money to be admitted to the martial arts.

An almost perfect vicious circle.

"The poor are really not qualified to become stronger, poverty is the original sin. ”

Zhang Xiaoyu pursed his lips, thinking a little self-deprecatingly.

The changes in Los Angeles are very great, the streets are much wider than before they were born, and the vehicles coming and going are completely different from the previous life, not only the appearance is a lot louder, but the speed of running is six, but the sound is very small.

After a lot of effort, Zhang Xiaoyu finally found the area where he lived.

Zhang Xiaoyu's family lives in a low-rent house of only 30 square meters, located on the outskirts of Los Angeles.

Compared with the prosperity and cleanliness of central Los Angeles, this low-rent community called Dream Home looks dilapidated and dirty, full of garbage, and the houses present a dark ancient color.

Such a community, not to talk about comfort, let alone property, the only benefit, is that when the two families chat, just open the window.

"13th Floor, Unit 1, 601. ”

Following the road in his memory, Zhang Xiaoyu soon came to the downstairs of his house, standing at the door, looking at the narrow stairs that could only barely pass through the two of them, Zhang Xiaoyu took a deep breath and slowly walked upstairs.

"My parents shouldn't have changed, since I'm still me, then my parents should be my parents too. ”

The nostalgia is even more timid, and Zhang Xiaoyu at this moment is undoubtedly this feeling.

No matter how long the road is, there will finally be a moment when he comes to the end, standing at the door of his house, Zhang Xiaoyu hesitated for a moment, and finally raised his hand and knocked on the door.

"Is Xiao Yu back?"

A familiar voice came from inside, and for a moment, Zhang Xiaoyu choked up a little and his nose was sour.

Before he was reborn, his parents died one after another when he was thirty years old because of a terminal illness, which is why Zhang Xiaoyu is in a hurry to make money.

The door opened, and a middle-aged woman wearing dark blue short-sleeved and light-colored jeans came into view, with a familiar face, a familiar voice, and a familiar smell.

"Mom, I'm back. ”

The moment he saw his mother, the scene when his parents left in the previous life resurfaced in his mind, Zhang Xiaoyu felt a sour nose and a little choked in his voice, so he hurriedly stepped forward and gave his mother a hug, so as to cover himself.

"You kid, what's the matter, you have been wronged at school, there are still guests at home, go wash your face first, and eat later. ”

The mother seemed a little uncomfortable with her son's sudden enthusiasm, but she still patted Zhang Xiaoyu on the back and comforted her.

"Guest?"

Zhang Xiaoyu was a little puzzled, and hurriedly wiped the corners of his eyes, only to find that in addition to his mother and father sitting at the table and smoking, there was also a woman in a flower skirt in the family.

"This is your aunt, who came to my house as a guest. ”

Mother signaled, Zhang Xiaoyu nodded, politely called her aunt, and then walked to her room.

Pushing open the door, Zhang Xiaoyu couldn't help but be stunned.

's own room was turned into a mess, and the culprits were two cute people in suspenders on the bed.

That's right, cute goods, and twins, a man and a woman, who should look like they should all be eleven years old, and at this moment the two of them are holding a game console that has been turned out of nowhere, chasing them in bed.

"Auntie's child?"

Zhang Xiaoyu shook his head and didn't care, and these two cute goods didn't know if they were naturally familiar, or they didn't see Zhang Xiaoyu at all, so they didn't even look back.

With a sigh, Zhang Xiaoyu got up and walked to the bathroom.

Looking at myself in the mirror, the angular face, the black broken hair, the standard height of a boy, and, well...... A few pimples on the forehead.

"Damn, damn youth hormones, it's not a good thing to be reborn. ”

Touching the pimples on his forehead and the corners of his eyes, feeling the stinging sensation coming from the pimples, Zhang Xiaoyu didn't dare to forcibly squeeze the pimples, turned on the faucet, hurriedly washed his face, and prepared to go out.

"You also know, although Xiao Yu and I have serious jobs, but Xiao Yu has spent too much money on school in the past few years, and he is about to go to college, and after graduation, he will marry a daughter-in-law and buy a house, so he really has no spare money. ”

"Brother, when I first separated, why did my mother say it when she left, let you take care of me more, Xiaoyu's school grades are so poor, let alone relying on martial arts, my son is in Los Angeles No. 1 Middle School, he has joined the martial arts club, and he has been admitted to the martial arts department, you lend me the money, the right is to invest in advance, and when my son has a chance in the future, I can't pay it back?"

"Although Xiao Yu's grades are poor, we as parents still want him to go to college, not to mention ............ There is really no extra money at home, why don't you go back first, I will discuss it with Xiao Yu's mother again, and give you an answer tomorrow. ”

"Okay, then I'll go first, brother, you are an understanding person, you should know, what does it mean to join the martial arts club, you can help me now, lend me 50,000 yuan, and when my son is admitted to Wuhan University in the future, he can also cover Xiao Yu." ”

Zhang Xiaoyu hid in the bathroom and listened to the conversation outside clearly.

"Xiao Yu, I'm out to eat, and today I made the braised pork you love. ”

agreed, opened the door of the bathroom, forcibly squeezed a smile on his face, and Zhang Xiaoyu sat down at the dining table.

However, what made Zhang Xiaoyu a little speechless was that the two cute goods who were rummaging in his room before were also sitting at the table with a big grin, snatching a pot of braised pork on the table, and they didn't have the consciousness of being guests at all.

"Xue'er, Bing'er, you two eat slowly, don't rob it, you are not allowed to rummage through your brother's room in the future, remember, what if the college entrance examination materials are messed up and your brother's college entrance examination is delayed. ”

"Got it, Mom. ”

Zhang Xiaoyu: "?????"

what?

Brother, mother, how do you hear the name, these two cute goods are my own brother and sister?

Sure enough, the world has changed, not only has he been reborn, but his parents have also changed a little bit, at least this pair of twins..................

After being stunned for a few seconds, Zhang Xiaoyu also accepted this fact.

Hehe, I inexplicably have a younger brother and sister, and I am also a cute product of the dragon and phoenix fetus, sure enough, there is nothing normal after being reborn.

Fortunately, these two goods have a lot of respect for themselves, although they rushed to eat braised pork, they didn't forget to clip a few pieces for themselves and put them in the bowl, so that Zhang Xiaoyu felt the warmth of his family again.

"Brother, this is yours, and the rest is mine and Bing'er. ”

Xiao Nizi occupied the basin entirely, and at the same time pointed to Zhang Xiaoyu's bowl, her two big eyes were full of reminders of innocence and kindness, for fear that Zhang Xiaoyu would not be able to eat enough.

"Damn, count you two ruthless. ”

These two cute goods occupy a basin, but they didn't eat much, dinner was finished quickly, Zhang Xiaoyu was not in a very good mood, and he only ate a little.

"Xiao Yu, what's wrong, are you not feeling well? I'm about to take the college entrance examination, eat more, I remember that you used to love braised pork the most. ”

The mother was a little worried.

"Mom, I'm full, I want to rest for a while. ”

Zhang Xiaoyu didn't know what to eat, hurriedly dropped a few words, and returned to his room.

"I'll keep it for you, if you're hungry, eat it yourself, this kid, I don't know what's wrong. ”

............

Lying in the room, Zhang Xiaoyu fell into deep thought again.

Everything that happened in school, Zhou Yang's changes, the teacher's vision, and the words of the self-proclaimed aunt just now made Zhang Xiaoyu panic.

"I want to take the martial arts exam, I must, not for myself, in order to fight for my parents, I also want to take the martial arts exam. ”

clenched his fists, thinking about what his aunt said just now, the belief in Zhang Xiaoyu's heart was a little stronger again.

Late at night, Zhang Xiaoyu tossed and turned, his mind was in a mess, and he forced himself to close his eyes, but he didn't feel the slightest sleepiness at all.

I was a little hungry, I didn't eat much in the afternoon, Zhang Xiaoyu after being reborn, just seventeen years old, it was the time to grow my body, and it was very laborious to think, and I couldn't help but feel a little hungry at the moment.

Putting on her clothes, Zhang Xiaoyu tiptoed out of the room, for fear of disturbing her parents' rest.

"Hey, my parents haven't slept yet. ”

When walking through his parents' room, Zhang Xiaoyu faintly heard a voice coming from inside, a little curious, Zhang Xiaoyu walked to the door of the room, wanting to hear what his parents were saying.

"You said that Yu'er, this child, has a good academic performance in the first year of high school, why did the third year of high school plummet, by the way, how do you plan to reply to your sister's borrowing money, the family has a total of 60,000 deposits, lend it to your sister, what about Xiao Yu, and these two children. ”

"Hey, after all, it's my own sister, I can't refuse it, although Xiao Yu has a big gap in grades, but he is quite sensible, and he didn't let us worry about anything, this money, leave it for him to go to college, cough cough. ”

"If you smoke less, your health will be bad......"

............

There was silence in the room for a moment, and the mother asked again, "Then you won't borrow it?"

"Don't borrow it, whether his son can be admitted to Wuhan University or not, it has something to do with me, Lao Tzu only believes in his son, and tomorrow he will just find a reason to prevaricate in the past, cough cough. ”

The father coughed again, and the mother followed suit.

Zhang Xiaoyu stood at the door, with mixed feelings in his heart, and wanted to push the door open, but in the end he just sighed and did not go in.

The small kitchen can only accommodate one person, Zhang Xiaoyu took out a large pot of braised pork from the cabinet, and it was not hot, he picked up a piece with chopsticks and put it in his mouth.

Xu was really hungry, and before he knew it, a large pot of braised pork actually let Zhang Xiaoyu eat it all alone, his head was a little groggy, and fatigue hit, Zhang Xiaoyu returned to the room in a daze, and fell asleep at the end.

The early morning sun dispelled the darkness, Zhang Xiaoyu felt that he was sleeping too deeply, and when he opened his eyes in a daze, he heard crying outside the room.

Opening the door, Zhang Xiaoyu looked confused.

The two cute goods were sitting on the ground at the moment, and when they saw Zhang Xiaoyu coming out, they stared at Zhang Xiaoyu innocently with big watery eyes, pouted and said angrily: "Brother is a big villain, I ate all the braised pork, woo woo." ”

Zhang Xiaoyu: ......

Feelings: These two goods got up early in the morning and cried for this.

"Okay, don't cry, Mom will make you braised pork again today. ”

"Really? Thank you, Mom. ”

Hearing his mother's words, the two goods changed their faces faster than the sky, and the pear blossoms who were crying a moment brought rain, and in an instant, they burst into laughter.

"Heartless, heartless. ”

Zhang Xiaoyu muttered, he didn't want to worry about these two goods, finished washing, sat down at the table and continued to be in a daze.

The meal is ready, one meat and two vegetables, one braised pork, one scrambled egg, and one shredded potato.

The two cute goods were the same as last time, and they sandwiched a few pieces to Zhang Xiaoyu and occupied the entire basin again.

"Brother, will you come back next week?"

While eating, Xue'er seemed to remember something, wiped her oiled mouth, stared at Zhang Xiaoyu, and asked with a serious face.

"What, do you miss your brother?"

Zhang Xiaoyu is a little funny, although he has no emotional foundation with these two goods, but since he is his own sister, he will accept it.

"Of course I miss my brother, because only when my brother comes back can I eat braised pork. ”

The little girl had no heart and lungs, and replied with a serious face.

Ahem......

Zhang Xiaoyu almost choked on a mouthful of rice, and he wanted to come back, because he wanted to eat braised pork.

Probably because I ate too much last night, today's braised pork, Zhang Xiaoyu ate more than a dozen pieces, when the last piece of braised pork was swallowed, Zhang Xiaoyu was suddenly stunned, and then the whole person sat in place, his eyes were dull, like a fool.

"Mom, I'm a little sleepy, I'll go take a rest first. ”

After dropping a few words, Zhang Xiaoyu hurriedly returned to his room with his mother's puzzled look.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, Zhang Xiaoyu took a deep breath, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and the whole person became excited.
