Zhang Han's family, where they rent, is in an old building on the outskirts of Tokyo. When he went home, the neighbors around him would nod and smile at him cordially.

Most of the people who live here are migrant workers from other countries. There are people who came from China more than ten years ago, and there are also small countries such as the Philippines and Indonesia.

Because everyone is not well-off, they are all running for life, and they are indispensable to support each other.

The relationship is good.

Zhang Han's mother came here to work with the eldest sister in her hometown at the beginning of the century, after graduating from secondary school.

Now, it's been almost twenty years.

Regarding his father, Zhang Han never heard his mother mention it. But as you can imagine, this is not uncommon in this place.

It's nothing more than men and women living together and then going their separate ways.

Many of these children were left unattended and given to local orphanages. There are also some, especially those led by domestic women, who choose to raise themselves.

Zhang Han's mother is one of them.

Rented place, 2 bedrooms and 1 living room.

Zhang Han has one bedroom by himself, and his mother Lan He lives in another room with his sister Lan Yu.

Since Zhang Han was very young, his sister has been endlessly pampered by her mother, and whatever good things in the family are all her sister's.

When he was a child, Lan He had no way to take care of two children at the same time, so he could only send one of them back to his hometown.

It was also Zhang Han who was sent back. He stayed in the urban-rural junction next to the coastal town until he was in elementary school, when he was picked up by his mother.

When Zhang Han was in his hometown, he once heard such a saying.

Poor raise children, rich raise daughters.

That means that the son has to be poor, and only then can he know that the future will be on his own.

The daughter should be rich, beware of the child's shallow eyelids, and when she grows up, she will be deceived by someone with three melons and two dates.

Mother should love herself, and the reason why she gives herself and her sister unequal living treatment is probably for this purpose.

In general, whether it is the cost of schooling or daily life, is it not less?

Maybe my mother is not as poor as she seems, she is actually a hidden rich woman.

After all, there are not many people who can rent a two-bedroom apartment in the place they rent, to be honest.

Until Zhang Han returned to Tokyo and lived with his mother for a few years.

Only then did he realize that he was thinking too much about himself.

That kind of setting is only in some Xiaobai's web novels. In real life, how can there be such a thing?

"Mom!"

"Baby!!"

"Mom, you've worked so hard! Otherwise, I won't be able to learn this! ”

"Then what's the matter, even if mom smashes the pot and sells iron, she can't keep you from going to school!!"

When Zhang Han entered the house, the emotional drama that had already been prepared was staged on time.

The two women closest to him were hugging and crying.

Zhang Han felt that his brain hurt, especially painful.

He looked at the two women in front of him speechlessly, took a deep breath, and pretended not to see.

After changing his slippers, Zhang Han prepared to go back to his room.

"You little conscienceless, didn't you see your mother crying?"

Zhang Han had no choice but to stop his movements, turn his attention back to the sofa, and look at the mother and daughter crying on the sofa.

He found his seat in the corner, pulled it over, and sat across from the mother and daughter, in a posture of listening attentively.

Seeing Zhang Han's face, the mother and daughter, who were still crying just now, immediately completed a 180-degree transformation.

"As the only man in this family, haven't you thought about making a little sacrifice and contribution for this family?"

"I'm really disappointed to have a brother like you!"

"The school choice fee for one of you is 3 million yuan (equivalent to 200,000 Chinese dollars). Together, two people are 6 million. As the eldest son in this family, why can't you sacrifice yourself and sign a contract with someone else? It's not for you to do anything hurtful, isn't it just to be a ......"

When she said this, Ms. Lan seemed to be suddenly stuck.

"If I call my grandfather and say you want me to be an actor, do you believe he can break your legs?"

Ms. Lan looked stunned.

"Then what's the way, with your current grades, go home to take the high school entrance examination, and it's impossible to get in? Besides, if we don't say it, how will your grandfather know? ”

Their hometown is in Qilu, even if it is the whole of China, it is the most difficult place to take the exam.

With the abundance of talents in their small county, the acceptance rate of the high school entrance examination is less than 40%.

In other words, it would be nice to have 4 out of 10 people who can be successfully admitted to high school.

When Zhang Han was originally in his hometown, his grades were not bad, and it should be no problem to take the high school entrance examination or even a second-class university.

But it has been 4 years since he left his hometown.

I studied in Tokyo for 4 years, and my professional cultural knowledge, especially history and biology, is very different from that in Japan.

With these things he is learning now, he will return to China to take the exam.

In addition to choosing true/false questions, he is already Amitabha Buddha without scoring zero points.

How is it possible to get into high school?

Now Zhang Han and his sister Lan Yu's only way out is to go to high school in Tokyo, and then successfully enter university.

If you get a Tokyo diploma, you can talk a lot about finding a job in Tokyo or returning to your home country in the future.

Otherwise, his future would be completely delayed.

And Tokyo has its own rules.

First of all, their high schools are divided into public and private, public high schools, tuition fees are relatively cheap, but you must have a local household registration.

In fact, this is the same in China, and the state has to pay a lot of money for state-supported schools.

This taxpayer's money, of course, is spent on taxpayers, and it can't be spent on outsiders?

Not to mention a foreigner like Zhang Han, even if he is a foreigner, it is absolutely not good.

Private schools. Relatively speaking, there are no public regulations and systems, but this kind of school needs money.

Even if they are locals, the tuition fees are not cheap. Foreigners like Zhang Han need a lot of school choice fees.

3 million for one person, which is equivalent to the total income of Lanhe who does not eat or drink for a year.

She is alone with two children, how can she have so many savings?

All the money in the family is added together, and if it is full, it can make up for a person's school choice fee.

"You don't have to worry about my school choice fee, I'll figure it out myself."

Before returning home, Zhang Han heard from the team's coach that there were supervisors from several high school teams who were interested in him.

I think it should be able to relieve some of the burden on my mother.

After finishing speaking, Zhang Han went back to his room.

Lan He wiped the tears that did not exist in his eyes, and said to his daughter beside him with a smile.

"Look, it's solved!"

Lan Yu was a little disappointed: "Brother, he is not an actor, it's too wasteful!"

Lan He looked at the closed door of the room and nodded, "Yes!"
