Before dawn, Fang Bai woke up.

It's winter, the temperature outside is close to zero degrees Celsius, and a thick chill fills the air.

He turned on the gas stove and took a hot bath.

Having a gas stove is much more convenient than burning firewood, but if the average family sees Fang Bai using gas to boil water for a bath, they will definitely scold him: "You are a loser, you don't know how expensive gas is, you can't burn firewood!" ”

No way, being rich is so capricious.

The 10,000 households are amazing!

What's more, Fang Bai, who is a 100,000 yuan household, was excited when he took a bath:

"Lula, lula, lula, I love to take a bath......"

In a few minutes, he had cleared the smell of alcohol from the previous night.

I have to say that the bathroom of this kind of building is much better than the leaky bathroom in my hometown, at least I take a bath in winter, and there is no cold wind blowing in in winter.

The only bad thing is that you can no longer see the starry sky and stars when you take a bath.

Hey, there's a little less poetry.

After taking a bath, Fang Bai trotted back to the bedroom, quickly covered the quilt, and nested on the bed to cover the quilt and read.

Two days later, there will be a monthly exam, which is also the last monthly exam before the Spring Festival holiday.

The next semester will take the exam again, which is to take a mock exam with the fresh graduates, using the city-wide paper.

Fang Bai didn't go to college, and he felt a little regretful, even if he was dozens of years old, he still looked forward to college life.

What is college life like these years?

Someone else's college life may be fantasizing and looking forward to the arrival of love;

And Fang Bai's college life, hey, no way, there is already an object, don't worry about this.

Having said that,

Even if there is no golden finger to ask him to study spelling, in fact, he feels that it is necessary to go to college, even if it is thirty years later, it is better to be a college student than a dog.

Read the book for a while and check how much personal wealth you have.

Say it silently, and it will instantly appear on the virtual screen.

[Personal wealth: 723,000 yuan]

In fact, he has about 400,000 yuan in cash at his disposal, and he didn't count it specifically.

It's too tiring to count the money, and now the whole family likes Fang Bai's mother the most, followed by his father.

In this early 90s, with almost a million assets, it was really happy and happy.

Fang Bai's parents were a little tired every day, but they all had smiles on their faces, and their complexions were much better than before.

Turning back to his thoughts, Fang Bai memorized common English sentences for a while, was a little sleepy, and continued to sleep.

He thought about Qin Shuyu a little, and took the pillow as her and hugged it.

It was a little cold, and he couldn't help but shrink up and hug him tighter.

Perhaps, when every man is lonely, it will be like this, right?

There is no heating in Wencheng, and there is no electric blanket to sell this year, so he made a bed of 6 catties of quilts and covered a bed of 8 catties of quilts, which is warm enough.

Two days later, on December 29, the third monthly exam.

When there were still ten minutes before the exam, Fang Bai came to the classroom.

He felt that these classmates were very good, they all experienced a failed exam, and in frustration, he chose to repeat a year of high school life, hoping to re-enter the ideal university by repeating it.

Being able to dare to pick up the confidence to run towards one's dreams, even if it fails, is worthy of respect.

If he didn't know what the future would hold, he might be just as confused as these repeaters.

Quietly in the classroom, he walked into the classroom and heard footsteps, saw his classmates looking at him, showed a sunny smile, and then sat down.

Fang Bai saw that his table mate was not there, and the fat girl in the front row asked, "Xiao Ai, what about the big guy?" Why didn't you come? ”

Zhang Xiaoai turned her head and said: "Yesterday, the big man's mother came to school, she looked panicked, I guess there was something urgent, I didn't tell us, the big man asked for leave and left school." ”

"Well, I'll talk about it after the exam."

After a while, the paper will be issued and the official exam will begin.

Two days later, at four o'clock in the afternoon, the exam was completed.

After the exam, the repeaters breathed a sigh of relief, there is a New Year's Day party tonight.

The day after tomorrow is New Year's Day, and tomorrow and the day after tomorrow are holidays, and students who have tensed their nerves rarely relax.

For Fang Bai, he has no party or holiday, so he will rest for a while when he is tired of studying, or he will be busy with business.

At least before the college entrance examination, he didn't have much free time to waste.

After the exam, he found the head teacher and asked Wang Dakai about it.

"Wang Dakai, I heard him say that his father was hospitalized with a broken leg, and he didn't take the monthly exam, so he went back to help for two days."

Fang Bai was relieved to hear that it was a broken leg.

It is estimated that his mother didn't know that her son was going to take the monthly exam, and she was panicked, so she could only come to her son

"Head teacher, do you know which hospital you are in? I'd like to visit and see if there's anything I can do to help. ”

"I don't know, it's rare for Wang Dakai to have you at the same table." Zhan Feng said, his face solemn, "Hey, when Wang Dakai asked for leave, I should have asked clearly." ”

"Oh, that's right, is there a specific address for his house?"

"Yes, if you go to visit, please greet me." After Zhan Feng finished speaking, he took out a notebook that recorded the information of the student's family, found Wang Dakai's information, tore off a piece of paper, copied the information, and handed it to Fang Bai.

"Okay, I'll just go by myself, just finished the exam, the head teacher has a lot of things, you are busy with you."

Fang Bai took the note, glanced at Changao Village, only five or six kilometers away from here, saw that there was no information about Wang Dakai's parents, and asked Teacher Zhan again.

Zhan Feng nodded, it was rare for students to understand that although New Year's Day was a holiday, as a class teacher, she still had a lot of work to do, and in fact, there was no holiday.

Fang Bai, this student, is very careful, just now she only copied Wang Dakai's address, and forgot to copy the names of his parents.

If you go to the village to find someone, the villagers in the same village may not know Wang Dakai as a young man, but most of them know Wang Dakai's father.

Fang Bai hurriedly left the school, went home and stuffed some cash and two packs of cigarettes into his backpack, and rode a motorcycle to the vegetable market to buy a few catties of fruit before setting off.

As far as he knows, Wang Dakai's family's economic situation is average, but now that the main family pillar is fractured, there may be some difficulties in life.

Wang Dakai is quite a good person, and he is worthy of his deep friendship.

Fang Bai doesn't have many friends in his life, and the friendship in high school is not mixed with messy interests, and if his classmates are in trouble, he can help him.

More than ten minutes later, Fang Bai came to Changao Village, and when he met the villagers, he sent cigarettes to ask for directions.

"Uncle, do you know where Wang Dakai's home is, I am his classmate, and his father's name is Wang Bing."

"Oh, Wang Bing's house, this village road goes straight to the big banyan tree and turns right, do you see the big banyan tree?"

Fang Bai followed the direction pointed by the uncle and saw a big tree, a little far away, I don't know if it is a banyan tree, and then confirm: "The tree that is two or three hundred meters away, right?" The one next to the white-walled house? ”

If you don't ask clearly, you'll run away when the time comes.

"Yes, that's it, when you get there, his house is nearby, just ask."

"Okay, thanks." Fang Bai sent another cigarette, asked the details clearly, and then rode away.

The uncle watched Fang Bai leave on a motorcycle, and was a little envious of these rich people's children.

After a while, Fang Bai came to the vicinity of the banyan tree, found a villager and asked for directions, and soon found Wang Dakai's home.

The three-room building on the first floor faces south, and the side house is a two-room tiled house, which is much better than my hometown if you compare it with the house.

I just don't know if anyone is at home, and when I saw the door of the middle hall open, I shouted to the house:

"Big open, are you at home?"

As soon as he finished shouting, a burly young man in cotton clothes came out of the house, it was Wang Dakai, but there was no sunny smile on his face, more of a sad face, and he was very surprised to see Fang Bai riding a bicycle:

"Boss, why are you here?"

Fang Bai parked the car, walked over, and patted him on the shoulder: "I heard Xiaoai say that there is something at home, come and see, how is your father now?" ”

Wang Dakai said a little sadly: "The right calf is fractured, just after surgery, the problem is not big, this will be in the hospital, hey." ”

"You're at home?" Fang Bai looked around, but didn't see anyone else.

"My mother is in the hospital with my father, my brother didn't come back in junior high school, I came back to guard the house, I want to feed the pigs and chickens, go into the house and sit down, my home is simple, don't dislike it."

"What do you dislike, your house looks very good."

Fang Bai replied, pulled out the car keys and stuffed them into his trouser pocket, and followed him into the middle hall.

Concrete floor, the walls have been scraped and plastered, in the middle of the room is placed an unpainted round dining table and a few chairs, a wooden sofa is placed against the east wall, against the west wall there is a simple cabinet, on which is placed a 14-inch black and white TV, and in the center of the hall there is an incense stand for the ancestors.

Very nice setting, much better than my hometown.

After Fang Bai sat down on the edge of the sofa, Wang Dakai washed the cup and poured tea for him, only to find that there was no boiling water and wanted to boil water.

"Dakai, no need to toss, I'm not thirsty, sit down and talk."

"Oh, I'm sorry to run so far." Wang Dakai was slightly embarrassed, it was difficult for the boss to even drink a cup of hot tea when he came.

There is something in my family, and the boss has come in person, and it is estimated that it is quite a toss to find my own home, and I am a little sorry.

"Don't mention this, I'm fast on a motorcycle, see if you didn't take the monthly exam, when will you go back to school?"

"I don't plan to read anymore, and when I go back, I say goodbye to my teachers and classmates, and I plan to come out to work."

"You boy, if you don't study just because you don't have money, I can lend you money;

But if you don't want to read it, it's nothing, it's okay to come out early, the question is do you think about what to do? ”

Wang Dakai smiled bitterly: "Thank you, boss, my grades are not good, I only scored about 430 points in the two monthly exams, and I haven't improved much in almost a semester, and I guess I won't be able to get into college if I continue to study." ”

Fang Bai looked at Wang Dakai sympathetically, he understood this desperate and confused mood.

The college line is about 500 points, a difference of 60 or 70 points, this gap is really big for Wang Dakai, and it is extremely difficult to make up for it through simple efforts.

This is not as good as hanging with a gold finger to improve performance.

There are too many students like Wang Dakai, looking at the huge score gap, they are all desperate, thinking that repeating a year can make a great improvement.

But the reality is not as good as they imagined, the original foundation is more than 400 points, and it is really good to be able to improve by more than 50 points in a year, and it is really very rare to be able to improve to more than 70 points.

Three years later, the state abolished the job allocation system for college students, and after completing three years of junior college, they may not be able to assign jobs when they come out.

It's okay to be assigned to a good unit, but if it's the kind of unit that doesn't guarantee income during drought and flood, it's really better to come out early and start a business.

In short, Fang Bai did not encourage or recommend Wang Dakai to continue to repeat, everything depends on himself.

As a classmate with a good relationship, I can help if I can, so I asked with concern:

"Your dad has surgery, is there still a lot of money?"

"It costs a few hundred to do the operation, and my mother said that the family still has some savings, and it is not much worse, so it is easy to borrow it if you ask relatives to borrow it."

Hearing this, Fang Bai took out a bag of fruit from his bag and put it on the table, then took out a thousand yuan and handed it to him: "I'll lend you a thousand, just pay it back when your family has money, I'm not in a hurry." ”

Seeing that Wang Dakai wanted to speak and stopped, shaking his head and not daring to answer, Fang Bai smiled lightly: "Take it, my family sells TV, it's not bad for this money, you call me boss, you are in trouble, I have to help." ”

After listening to Fang Bai's words, Wang Dakai nodded solemnly and said gratefully: "Well, thank you, boss, five hundred is enough." ”

Fang Bai slapped the money directly in his hand, and said in an undeniable tone: "You must leave enough budget for yourself to do anything, your family is still your younger brother going to school, your father is not recuperating from his injuries and saying that he can't make money for a few months, and it's almost the New Year, how can the family celebrate the New Year without any money." ”

Wang Dakai scratched his head, feeling embarrassed, and finally accepted the money: "Okay, I'll borrow it!" ”

His father was still short of two or three hundred yuan, and he was originally going to borrow from relatives, and his younger brother also needed money to go to school, and his father, the pillar of the family, could not continue to earn money for the time being, and borrowing 500 was also borrowing, and borrowing 1,000 was the same.

Anyway, they owe favors, and if they simply owe it for a lifetime, they will just have a bad life.

"Think about reading, don't leave regrets because of money;

If you really don't want to repeat your studies and want to start a business, you can borrow money from me;

But if you just want to work to make money, then you come to me, I lack people to help me do things, my TV stall is what I built, and there is no problem with a salary of a few hundred yuan a month. ”

Fang Bai thought for a moment and said seriously.

He didn't interfere with Wang Dakai's choice, he just gave him the way and saw which path he chose.

If you mess with him, he will give him a fortune, but he will not say it at the moment.

Fang Bai lacks people worthy of his trust, Wang Dakai is worth cultivating, people are meticulous, tall and strong, which is rare.

There is still more than a year before the subscription warrant is issued, and Fang Bai is now going to select trustworthy people to help him, and there will be no more than a dozen men at that time, and he feels unsafe.

Father, Wang Dakai, and then find some trusted relatives and friends, college classmates, and the group of part-time students he is investigating.

This is a feast of wealth, and Fang Bai doesn't want any security problems and strange situations.

After listening to Fang Bai's words, Wang Dakai was slightly surprised that his TV stall was built by the boss.

The boss has clearly said that there is a shortage of people, what is there to hesitate about, the younger brother doesn't mess with the boss, do you still want to go it alone?

As for entrepreneurship, forget it, he doesn't feel like he's that material.

"Then I'll be with you."

Fang Bai was very satisfied with his answer, but still said flatly: "I'll go back first, you think about it carefully, and come to me after you finish handling the affairs at home." ”

"Don't think about it, what's there to think about, I can decide my own affairs, boss, when I'm done dealing with the affairs at home, I'll go to you again, don't you want me."

"Well, let's think about it and discuss it with your family."

Fang Bai rode away, and only after driving dozens of meters did he show a relieved smile.
