Bet

  The downpours of summer came and went hurriedly, and the sky was still thunderstorm, and it cleared most of the time in a blink of an eye.

  Jing Xiaoran was holding the umbrella and holding the little wild cat in his arms and went home.

  "Brother is back!" As soon as Jing Xiaoran entered the door, Xiaoxiao greeted her, and she saw the little wild cat in Jing Xiaoran's hands at a glance.

  Xiaoxiao's big eyes are shining brightly. Her long-term wish is to have a small pet, but her parents will always refuse for various reasons.

  Mother Jing also saw the cat in Jing Xiaoran's hand and frowned and said, "Xiao Ran, what are you?"

  Jing Xiaoran smiled and took a discarded towel to wrap the little wild cat: "I found it strange and pitiful that I met on the road, so I brought it back."

  "But it's really not suitable for pets at home, Xiaoxiao..." Jing Mu didn't continue. Xiaoxiao's physical condition is a taboo at home, and everyone would not talk about it when Xiaoxiao was there.

  Jing Xiaoran understood what her mother meant. Xiaoxiao was weak. She worried that these pets might hurt Xiaoxiao, or that the pets might carry some viruses or bacteria. He thought so in his previous life before he studied medicine, and later learned that the chance of such infection is very rare and almost impossible.

  "Mom, don't worry, I will take this cat to check it tomorrow. If there is no problem, I will stay and be a companion to Xiaoxiao. She is usually lonely at home alone." Jing Xiaoran said.

  "But..." Jing's father interrupted her when she wanted to say something.

  "Baby his mother, let Xiao Ran do this." Father Jing said.

  Xiaoxiao heard his father's words and immediately smiled, and ran to him and gave him a big kiss: "Dad, you are so kind."

  Jing's father then showed a kind smile: "Xiaoxiao, go back to your room first. I have something to discuss with your brother."

  "Ok."

  Xiaoxiao found a paper box, took the kitten from Jing Xiaoran's hand, placed it in the box, and ran back to the room happily.

  Jing's mother brought Jing Xiaoran a bowl of noodles. The noodles contained only some greens and an egg.

  "Xiao Ran, you can eat first, I'm talking after you finish." Father Jing said.

  Jing Xiaoran smiled and waved his hand: "Dad, tell me, I'm not a kid, it doesn't matter."

  Jingfu nodded, and took out a cigarette from his jacket pocket.

  "You drank too much yesterday, and I didn't have time to ask how you did in the exam?"

  Jing Xiaoran ate the noodles: "It's okay, I should be able to pass the national second line."

  Father Jing lit a cigarette and the smoke was filled with smoke. He sighed, "Xiao Ran, I know you have paid a lot because of Xiaoxiao. You have been doing part-time jobs since junior high school. Neither your mother nor I paid you the living expenses during school. tuition..."

  "Dad, don't say it." Jing Xiaoran stopped his chopsticks, "Xiaoxiao is my sister, let alone you and mother work hard every day, I should do this."

  Father Jing sighed deeply, his body sitting on the sofa bent slightly, as if he was a few years old: "But parents are still useless, unable to take care of you two. Alas...and our relatives, When it comes to Xiaoxiao, they all sympathize with pity, but when it comes to surgery fees, they don't say anything."

  Jing Xiaoran was silent for a moment before continuing: "Dad, how much is Xiaoxiao's surgery fee?"

  Father Jing closed his eyes and put out the cigarette butt in his hand: "It's still four hundred thousand short. Your mother and I have calculated it. You can save enough in three years at the earliest."

  "But the doctor said it's best to have surgery before the age of 8?" Jing Xiaoran put down his dishes and stood up and said, "Dad, if I don't go to college, I will go out and make money! I will definitely earn enough for Xiaoxiao's remaining surgery fees. !"

  Father Jing didn't speak, and he lit the extinguished smoke again.

  "Xiao Ran, you just graduated from high school, and you don't have any skills. You are not an adult. What can you do when you go out? Where will you be hired? Will you go to the construction site to move bricks? Now the construction site does not hire child labor!"

  "Dad, I definitely can, I..."

  Jing's father interrupted Jing Xiaoran's words: "This time I talked to you for this. I know you want to earn enough surgery fees for Xiaoxiao. You have mentioned in front of me several times that you don't want to go to university. Xiaoxiao's surgery is of course very important. , But we can't ruin your future. What can you do if you don't go to university? Are you like me and your mother? Can only do some physical work? Not to mention that our parents are still young, so we have to do a few more jobs. Working extra hours will surely save enough for the surgery."

  Jing Xiaoran from the previous life also suggested to his parents that he didn't want to go to university and wanted to go out to work and earn money, but his parents refused.

  But now the situation is different, he is born again, he is the prophet of this world, he has more than ten years of life experience.

  "Dad, how about that? I'll make a bet with you." Jing Xiaoran thought for a moment. Since his parents disagree, he can only change his mind.

  "Bet?" Jing's father was a little confused.

  "Yeah." Jing Xiaoran said seriously, "Dad, if I can earn 10,000 yuan before the university starts, oh no, it is 30,000 yuan, will that prove that I can make money without going to college? Up?"

  Father Jing looked at his son in surprise: "You are going to make 30,000 yuan in less than three months?"

  Jing Xiaoran nodded solemnly.

  Father Jing suddenly grabbed his arm and said in a deep voice, "Xiao Ran, don't you embark on the road of breaking the law and committing crimes... Parents can still do this for years..."

  Seeing his father talk more and more outrageous, Jing Xiaoran quickly stopped him, helplessly said: "Dad...I won't break the law."

  "Then how do you earn 30,000 in three months?" Father Jing asked again.

  Jing Xiaoran smiled and said, "Dad, do you just say you want to make this bet with me?"

  Father Jing touched his chin, thoughtfully: "It seems that you already have an idea?"

  Jing Xiaoran smiled without saying a word.

  "Okay, Xiao Ran, I'll bet with you!" Jing's father readily accepted.

  Jing Xiaoran was very excited, but he didn't see the slyness flashing in Jing's father's eyes.

  "If you didn't earn enough 30,000 yuan, then you can study for me!"

  "Okay, Dad!"

  Early the next morning, Jing Xiaoran took the little wild cat to check it, and after confirming that there was no problem, he handed it to Xiaoxiao with peace of mind.

  "Now there is one more member in the family." Jing Xiaoran handed a simple cat cage to Xiaoxiao, "As its little owner, Xiaoxiao, give it a name."

  Xiaoxiao happily took the cat cage and looked at the kitten with a grin: "Then call it Xiaobai."

  "Huh?" Jing Xiaoran stared at the shiny black cat, "Xiao...Xiaobai?"

  Xiaoxiao nodded solemnly and said: "Well, brother, look carefully, there is a small handful of white hair on Xiaobai's forehead."

  Jing Xiaoran sighed, "All right, your cat, whatever name you want."

  When he got home, Jing Xiaoran called immediately.

  "Hello, Jin?"

  "Xiao Ran? Haha, why do you bro have time to call me? You won't be with your Xia Shan?"

  "Don't make trouble, I have something to look for you, are you free?" Jing Xiaoran said helplessly.

  "Of course, as a single dog famous far and near, some is time."

  Jing Xiaoran said, "Find a place to meet you."

  "Star Internet Cafe?"

  "Okay, I'll go out right away."

  Jin Miao, nicknamed Jin Jin, is Jing Xiaoran's best friend, and is also a junior high school classmate of Jing Xiaoran and Xia Shan. The three are in the same high school.

  Jing Xiaoran hung up the phone, and Xiaoxiao was playing with Xiaobai in the living room.

  "Xiaoxiao, I'm going out, don't run around at home, I'll be back soon."

  "Okay, brother." Xiaoxiao looked back at Jing Xiaoran before continuing to tease the cat.

  "This girl, I really forgot my brother when I had Xiaobai." Jing Xiaoran shook his head and went out.

  The Xingxing Internet Cafe is located next to the county middle school and has an excellent geographical location. Whenever there is a holiday, the Internet cafe business is extremely hot, and it is simply hard to find.

  As soon as Jing Xiaoran stepped into the Xingxing Internet Cafe, he heard Jin Mian's iconic loud voice.

  "Damn, push the tower! What are you afraid of!"

  "Don't run! I rely on, sell me again!"

  Jin Miao was able to have fun, and there was still a circle of pupils around the seat. These pupils could not get on the plane and could only watch eagerly from the side.

  "Hey, Jin Jin, stop for a while." Jing Xiaoran squeezed to Jin Mian's side and patted him on the shoulder.

  "Xiao Ran, are you here?!" Jin Mian took off the earphones and smiled with a mouthful of white teeth, "Wait a minute, wait for me to finish this one."

  "Yeah." Jing Xiaoran really didn't like the smell of Internet cafes, and the smell of cigarettes was mixed with the smell of feet, "I am waiting for you at the entrance of the Internet cafe."

  In about five minutes, Jin Mian walked out of the Internet cafe grinning.

  "This group of people is too bad, they have lost three in a row." Jin Mian said.

  "So you were in the Internet cafe when I called you?" Jing Xiaoran smiled.

  "Hehe." Jin Mian slapped haha, "Where is Xia Shan? Why don't you see her?"

  "I'm looking for something to do with you today." Jing Xiaoran didn't want to talk about her.

  "But you were just a Siamese baby before... Hey, hey, I won't talk about it, don't go..."

  Jing Xiaoran was about to leave, and Jin Mian grabbed him.

  "I broke up with her." Jing Xiaoran said lightly.

  Jin Mian opened his eyes wide and round: "Break up?"

  Are the two Siamese babies separated? Can Siamese Babies live if they are separated? Jing Xiaoran doesn't seem to be abnormal!

  Jing Xiaoran nodded, "So Jin Jin, don't mention her before me in the future."

  Jin Mian nodded blankly. As a classmate of the two, he knew their feelings deeply. The news was really sudden.

  Jing Xiaoran and Jin Mian found the milk tea shop next to the Internet cafe. Jin Mian was in a trance along the way, shocked by the news that they had broken up.

  "What do you like to drink? How about I invite you, bubble tea?" Jing Xiaoran said.

  "Oh."

  "Jin, do you have any plans for the summer vacation?" Jing Xiaoran asked.

  "Oh."

  "Huh? I ask you what are your plans for the summer vacation?" Jing Xiaoran frowned.

  "Ah? What are you talking about?" Jin Mian returned to his senses.

  Jing Xiaoran was a little helpless: "I ask you what you plan for the summer vacation."

  "Ah, this, let's play games." Jin Mian stretched out lazily, "What else can I do besides playing games?"

  "Jin, have you ever thought of making money?" Jing Xiaoran smiled mysteriously.

  Jin Mian replied boredly: "Make money? Are you talking about handing out flyers or selling newspapers?"
