Chapter 459 Just for Mom
But on the contrary, not everyone wants to be admitted to a prestigious university, then work hard to enter a large company like Samsung, and then live a life of working from nine to five, working overtime day and night to make money.
Anyway, as far as Zheng Chenggong knows, in addition to the college entrance examination score requirements, Busan University of the Arts, like most of the famous Korean universities, also requires interviews for its practical music department and drama department.
With the development of Hallyu in South Korea in recent years, there are too many people who want to become stars, which has also made art schools overcrowded. For example, Seoul Arts High School is well-known and has many collaborations with major entertainment companies. There are also many trainee students in it.
In fact, the location of Busan University of the Arts is quite awkward, but at the same time it is quite lucky. If this school were not far away from Seoul, it might have greater development.
But on the other hand, this is only a possibility. On the contrary, Busan is the second largest city in South Korea and its economy is second only to Seoul. Busan people are also one of the most distinctive groups in South Korea.
Naturally, there are countless young men and women here who yearn for the entertainment industry. Unlike the atmosphere in Seoul, the entertainment center of South Korea, there are not so many art schools. Busan University of the Arts and its affiliated Arts Middle School have been operating here for 20 years. To some extent, it is already a famous school.
So if you can become a special recruit and you really have the desire and idea in this regard, this is indeed a good place to go.
Zheng Chenggong thought of how Eun-ji's mother came to him with a worried look on her face a few days ago to talk to him about Eun-ji's enrollment in September, or simply asked him to persuade her to go to the arts school. As a mother, she felt very guilty for not being able to fulfill her daughter's hopes and dreams.
Especially this summer, Eun-ji and Xiaoxiao had unexpectedly earned quite a bit of money by performing on the streets of Haeundae. The money Eun-ji had given her was more than enough to cover a year's tuition. If you enroll as a special admissions student, you get some tuition waivers, and high school tuition is much cheaper than university, only around two million a year. Although Eun-ji's mother had initially remained silent when the teacher came to their house because the family truly didn't have any extra money, now that she had her daughter's savings, she could use them to pay off debts or supplement household expenses.
But Zheng Chenggong also felt that unless it really came to a life-and-death situation, no parent would use the money their children earned to do other things and let their children miss out on a better education.
"Agassi...you know, my family owes a lot of money. My father has been overseas for more than half a year. Every day when I see my mother get up early and rush to work in Jagalchi Market, I feel very unhappy. In fact, it doesn't matter where you go to school. Anyway...you can learn singing anywhere!" Eun-ji pretended not to care and said it. Her expression did not look very heavy. In this way, Zheng Chenggong showed a very relieved smile.
"Although you can learn singing anywhere, becoming a vocal teacher isn't something you can learn behind closed doors. You should go for it. The fees for arts education aren't prohibitively expensive. Your family is already so heavily in debt, and the little money you have won't go far. So, it's enough for tuition. Instead of using it to supplement your family income, why not use it for something meaningful? Go to a better school, learn more, and improve your abilities faster. With more street performances, you might become a Busan celebrity, and earn even more money!"
"At most, I'll support you. Compared to my big eater, your appetite is really impressive. So, when you have time, come to my place for dinner . You can use the money you and Xiaoxiao earn to pay for the tuition. If it's not enough, you can borrow from this girl. She never pays for anything anyway, and I don't know where she hides her money. If you still have any burdens, just think of it as you working part-time here, and I'll pay for your food."
After hearing what Zheng Chenggong said, Eun-di's expression was a little tangled, and Zheng Chenggong simply turned around, then pulled the girl over, looked at her seriously and said: "Eun-di, let's change our thinking!"
"ah?"
"Perhaps seeing you earning money to support the family would make Eun-ji happy, but as an adult and your mother, I would also feel guilty and ashamed. If you didn't go to a good school because of your parents, the guilt would be even deeper!"
"If Eun-ji can't make up her mind, then just think of it as doing it for Mom. To make Mom feel less guilty, you should just study hard!"
Eun-ji obviously had a strong reaction this time. After listening to Agassi's words, she realized that her mother's thoughts might change for the worse because of her actions. If that were the case...
“Hoohoo!”
"I'm stuffed!"
Zheng Xiaoxiao sucked all the ramen in the bowl into her stomach, shouted happily, and then fell directly on the wooden board, touching her belly happily.
Zheng Chenggong suddenly thought of something, turned his head quickly, and his face turned dark in an instant.
"ah!"
"Do you really want me to kick you out of the house?"
Looking at the big pot with only a little bit of soup and red pepper left, how could it be possible, how could it be... all eaten up in just a few minutes?
"Dad, I'm so full, so... I want to eat ice cream!"
"What kind of nonsense is this? Go home and take a shower right now, right now!"
"No, I want to take a bath with Dad!"
"Wash your ass, you stinky fox... I owe you this, Eun-di. It seems like you'll only have instant noodles to eat here with uncle. Is this the fate of our Zheng family? It shouldn't be like this."
Zheng Chenggong sighed deeply, then patted Endi's shoulder. They both had the surname Zheng, so why was there such a big difference between them?
Zheng Chenggong's face changed, and he suddenly thought of something. He looked at Zheng Xiaoxiao and murmured, "Zheng Endi, Zheng Chenggong, Zheng Xiaoxiao, could it be because... their zodiac signs are incompatible?"
Well, lazy and boring people always do boring things. Although staying alone all the time was not Zheng Chenggong's original intention, he could only find ways to pass the time.
So, he started studying cooking, but only seafood dishes.
So, he started reading ancient books on the I Ching and the Eight Diagrams, but they were too profound, so he switched to books on divination, tarot cards, and astrology, and occasionally played online games...
Well, it looks a bit comfortable, but also a bit boring. But there is no way, a patient should have the awareness of a patient. Think about the early days of taking the medicine, I have lost all my memory. In the words of that little guy, I was just a mad wild boar. In the words of Han Zhiyuan's neighbors' complaints, Han Zhiyuan's family raised wild beasts and wolfhounds. Of course, Zheng Chenggong felt that he was more like a tiger.
He shook his head and went to the kitchen counter to boil water, then prepared four packets of instant noodles and some clams and ham. He would eat three packets by himself and one packet for Endi. With more seafood and meat, that should be enough.
