XVII. Chen Yang

"The superficial condition for joining the patrol room is to pass the physical fitness and skill test, and secretly you also need the recommendation of insiders."

Most of the patrols in Qianyang City only have a baton and whistle when patrolling the streets, and they basically rely on their skills to arrest people.

Therefore, if you want to join the patrol room, you must first apply for the physical fitness and skill test of the patrol room.

Every year in winter and summer, there will be an open registration examination in the patrol room.

However, this is only a condition on the surface, but secretly, if you want to successfully join the patrol room, you have to have the recommendation of insiders - this is also the reason why the patrol house has always been united.

Most of the people in it have some nepotism with each other.

Of course, there are also some "fish that slip through the net" who are lucky enough to be admitted to the patrol room.

In this case, it is usually the inspection team from Kyoto that happens to patrol here and happens to review and invigilate the exam.

But even so, after these "fish that slipped through the net" entered the patrol room, they would be quickly assimilated, otherwise it would be very difficult to survive.

Chen Qing didn't have any relatives who were patrolling, and he didn't know this kind of person, otherwise he wouldn't have been bullied by street thugs all the time, and no one came out until he was knocked to death.

However, Chen Qing is not worried about this.

Because the legal system is not sound, there are also advantages to being unsound, that is, many things can go through the back door, as long as the money is enough.

There are some people in the patrol room who have lost their relatives and are not around for some reason, or there is really nothing promising in the surrounding relatives, so the recommended places are vacant.

These people, as long as the money is in place, it is not a big problem to help recommend.

Of course, if you want to successfully occupy a place in this radish pit, you must pass the exam.

Chen Qing's original plan was to find a way to earn a "referral fee" while practicing for free in this year of free boxing, and then sign up for the winter recruitment exam.

At that time, the effect of the practice will also be there, the money should be about the same, and the success rate of passing will be higher.

But now, he is ready to directly participate in this recruitment examination of the patrol house in the summer.

"The registration deadline for the summer recruitment exam is August 31st, and today is July 6th, you must earn enough money during this time, and tomorrow I will go to the child surnamed Zhuang......"

While thinking about tomorrow's "personal teaching" skills, Chen Qing hurried home at his feet.

Five or six minutes later, he finally returned to the three-story cement building where the Chen family lived.

After going upstairs in the dark, and then passing through the corridor and saying hello to the neighbors on the second floor one by one, Chen Qing came to the door of his house.

At this time, the lights in the room have turned on, which means that someone has returned to the house.

Chen Qing pushed the door in as usual, but in the next second, the expression on his face was suddenly stunned.

Today's family, there is one more person!

This person looks about twenty years old, looks a little similar to Chen Qing, wearing a black tunic suit, and is leaning on Chen Qing's bedside at the moment, with one foot on the bed, one foot on the ground, one hand on the pillow, and the other hand holding a book in one hand.

This person is none other than the original elder brother who studied in Jiuhua District, Chen Yang!

Seeing Chen Yang, Chen Qing immediately understood that the other party was coming back to get the living expenses every month.

He subconsciously calculated in his mind the time when the other party came back last time to get living expenses.

At the same time, Chen Yang also saw Chen Qing who came back.

Then, he immediately stood up in surprise.

"Wow! Brother Bing, I thought my father and mother were joking, but I didn't expect you to really become a strong man?! ”

As he spoke, Chen Yang came to Chen Qing's side and made a head comparison and pinched his arm muscles.

Chen Qing glanced at the other party, shook his arm, avoided the other party's pinching muscles, and then asked, "Where's Dad?" ”

Although he inherited the memory of the original body, Chen Qing still couldn't be so familiar with this brother who had only met him four times in the past four months.

In fact, before Chen Yang went to college, the two brothers were more familiar with each other, although they fought from childhood to adulthood, but they had a good relationship when they grew up, and often teased each other and joked with each other, adding a brother word after each other's nicknames to call each other.

Until Chen Yang came to Qianyang to go to college, and the original body dropped out, the opposite fate of life made the original body feel inferior in his heart and began to sulk with Chen Yang.

Although Chen Yang found out, he was not angry, but every time he came to get living expenses, he still teased Chen Qing as before, and took the initiative to joke and ease the relationship.

It's a pity that the other party doesn't know that Chen Qing has already changed now.

However, the sulking of the original body in the past made Chen Qing's unfamiliar behavior seem reasonable now.

"Go upstairs and borrow Aunt Li's fire to stir-fry."

After answering Chen Qing's inquiry, Chen Yang got serious, looked at Chen Qing and asked, "I heard my father say that you are learning boxing in the martial arts hall now, what are your plans, tell me the bottom of it, it won't be to go to the gang, right?" When a double-spoil red stick? ”

Speaking of the back, Chen Yang couldn't help but ridicule again.

"When you're big."

Chen Qing, who was ridiculed, couldn't help but glance at Chen Yang.

However, he knew that Chen Zhengzhong and Yang Ying were probing him through Chen Yang, and after thinking about it, he felt that it was not good to keep the two of them scared, so he still said his true thoughts: "I'm going to apply for the patrol room." ”

"It turns out that Brother Bing is preparing to be a commander!"

After hearing this, Chen Yang raised his hand and hugged his fist and said: "Disrespectful and disrespectful!" ”

"I'm too lazy to pay attention to you."

Chen Qing glanced at the other party again, turned around and went out to get water at the faucet at the end of the corridor.

When Chen Qing finished taking a shower, Chen Zhengzhong also cooked the meal and asked the two brothers to go upstairs to help serve the food and prepare for dinner.

After that, it's time for dinner.

After eating dinner and cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks and folding tables and stools, Chen Qing directly said that he had slept.

In the past month, he and Chen Zhengzhong have been getting along like this, since he learned that his mother Yang Ying went to Jinguan District to work as a servant for the rich and only came back once a week, the communication between the two fathers and sons was only "eating" at dinner and "sleeping" afterwards.

But today Chen Yang is here, but it's a little different.

"Wow, Brother Bing goes to bed so early now?"

"Did you really sleep? No way? ”

"Dad, are you ready to go to bed too?"

"Hey, Brother Bing, let's get up and talk?"

This night, Chen Qing's ears were particularly noisy, but he had been practicing for a day, and his mind and body were in a state of exhaustion, no matter how noisy Chen Yang was, he quickly fell into a deep sleep.

Early the next morning, before dawn, Chen Qing was woken up by the biological clock again as usual.

And Chen Yang, who slept in the same bed with him last night, was still asleep in bed at this time.

After a brief wash, Chen Qing went out to the tiger-shaped door as usual.

After walking for a while, he seemed to remember something, and reached out and touched the inner pocket of his short coat.

Then, as expected, he touched several thin sheets of paper.

He took it out and looked at it, and it was a few five- and ten-dollar bills, adding up to exactly thirty dollars.

Looking at the thirty yuan in his hand, Chen Qing couldn't help but smile helplessly.

Every month, when Chen Yang came back to get living expenses, he would have an extra thirty yuan in the inner pocket of his clothes.

And the Chen family's monthly living expenses for Chen Yang are 150 yuan, accounting for more than half of the Chen family's total monthly income.
