Martial Arts Song

Chapter 17 Chen Yang
"The apparent condition for joining the patrol room is to pass the physical fitness and skill test, but secretly it also requires the recommendation of insiders."

Most police officers in Qianyang City only have a baton and a whistle when patrolling the streets, and arresting people basically relies on their skills.

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

Every year in winter and summer, there are open registration examinations 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 must be recommended by an insider - this is why there has always been unity within the patrol room.

Most of the people inside have some degree of nepotism among each other.

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

In this case, it usually happens that the inspection team from Kyoto happens to be inspecting here and inspects and invigilates the exam of that session.

But even so, these "fish that slipped through the net" will be assimilated quickly after entering the patrol house, otherwise survival will be very difficult.

Chen Qing has no relatives who are police officers, nor does he know such people. Otherwise, he would not have been bullied by street gangsters until he was beaten to death with no one to step forward.

However, Chen Qing is not worried about this.

Because an imperfect legal system also has the advantage of being imperfect, that is, many things can be done through the back door, as long as there is enough money.

There are some people in the patrol room who have lost relatives or are no longer around due to some reasons, or the relatives around them are really not promising, so the quota for recommendation becomes vacant.

As long as the money is available for these people, it is not a big problem to recommend them.

Of course, recommendations are recommendations. If you want to successfully get a seat in this carrot pit, you must pass the exam.

Chen Qing's original plan was to practice boxing for free for a year, find ways to earn "recommendation fees" while practicing, and then sign up for the winter recruitment exam.

By then, the practice effects will be there, the money should be almost collected, and the success rate of passing will be higher.

But now, he is preparing to directly participate in the summer recruitment examination for the patrol room.

"The registration deadline for the summer recruitment exam is August 31st, and today is July 6th. You must make enough money during this period. Tomorrow, I will go find the kid named Zhuang..."

While thinking about tomorrow's "personal training" talk, Chen Qing quickly went home.

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

Familiarly, he walked upstairs in the dark, walked through the corridor, and greeted the neighbors on the second floor one by one, before Chen Qing arrived at the door of his house.

At this time, the lights in the room were already on, which meant that someone at home had returned.

Chen Qing pushed the door open as usual, but the next second, his face suddenly became startled.

There is one more person in the house today!

This man looks about twenty years old and looks somewhat similar to Chen Qing. He is wearing a black Chinese tunic suit. He is leaning on Chen Qing's bedside with one foot on the bed and one foot on the ground. One hand holds a book and the other hand reads.

This person was none other than his original brother, Chen Yang, who was studying in college in Jiuhua District!

Seeing Chen Yang, Chen Qing immediately understood that the other party was coming back to collect monthly living expenses.

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

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

Then, he immediately stood up in surprise.

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

While talking, Chen Yang came to Chen Qing's side and compared heads and squeezed the muscles of his arms.

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

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

The two brothers were actually quite familiar with each other before Chen Yang went to college. Although they had been fighting each other since childhood, they had a good relationship when they grew up. They often teased and joked with each other and called each other by adding the word "brother" after each other's nickname. . Until Chen Yang came to Qianyang to go to college, and Yuan Shen dropped out of school. The opposite life fate made Yuan Shen feel inferior in her heart, and she began to sulk with Chen Yang.

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

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

However, the previous sulking of the original body made Chen Qing's current unfamiliar behavior seem reasonable.

"I went upstairs to borrow Aunt Li's fire to cook."

After answering Chen Qing's inquiry, Chen Yang became serious. He looked at Chen Qing and asked, "I heard from dad that you are now learning boxing in a martial arts school. What are your plans? Tell me. Isn't it going to be... Are you going to join a gang? Become a double bonus?"

Speaking of the latter part, Chen Yang couldn't help but joke again.

"Be a fool."

Chen Qing, who was ridiculed, couldn't help but roll her eyes at Chen Yang.

However, he knew that this was Chen Zhengzhong and Yang Ying trying to find out his thoughts through Chen Yang. After thinking about it, he felt that it would not be good to keep them worried all the time, so he still expressed his true thoughts: "I am going to apply for the exam. Patrol room.”

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

After hearing this, Chen Yang raised his hands and cupped his fists and said: "Disrespect, disrespect!"

"I'm too lazy to care about you."

Chen Qing rolled her eyes at the other person again, turned around and went out to fetch water from the faucet at the end of the corridor to take a shower.

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

After that, it’s dinner time.

After finishing dinner and clearing away the dishes and folding tables and chairs, Chen Qing simply said that he was asleep.

In the past month, he and Chen Zhengzhong have been getting along like this. Ever since he learned that his mother Yang Ying in this life went to Jinguan District to work as a servant for the rich and only came back once a week, the exchanges between the two father and son There is only "eating" during dinner and "sleeping" after that.

But today Chen Yang is here, and things are a little different.

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

"Did you really sleep? No, right?"

"Dad, are you ready to sleep too?"

"Hey, Brother Bing, why don't you get up and have a chat?"

This night, Chen Qing's ears were particularly noisy. However, he had been practicing for a whole day and was mentally and physically exhausted. 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 his biological clock again as usual.

And Chen Yang, who shared the same bed with him last night, was still fast asleep in bed.

After washing up briefly, Chen Qing went out to the tiger-shaped gate as usual.

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

Then, as expected, he touched a few thin pieces of paper.

He took it out and saw that there were several five- and ten-dollar bills, which added up to exactly thirty yuan.

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

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

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