Film and TV Life Experiment Program

In a six-story apartment building on the outskirts of Seogwipo City, Jeju Island,

"Young Joo, it's time to eat. Dad made Korean beef bibimbap for you today! It tastes amazing!"

Haoxi scooped a large spoonful of rice covered in sauce mixed with beef and bean sprouts with an iron spoon, swallowed it directly into his mouth, and nodded with satisfaction.

Then he brought the prepared bibimbap from the kitchen to the dining table. Before he turned back to the kitchen to get other side dishes and kimchi soup, he called to his daughter Fang Yingzhu's room,

My daughter's bedroom is clean and tidy, with items placed in an orderly manner. The bed sheets, quilt covers, and various decorations are all very girly, mainly in pink and light blue, and there is a faint fragrance in the room.

At this time, Young Joo was sitting at the desk, and under the light of the desk lamp, she was reading a book seriously.

Because the house was heated and not cold, she wore a black and white striped long-sleeved T-shirt and a pair of light grey trousers.

Girls usually develop earlier. At the age of 15, Young-joo is already over 1.65 meters tall.

Under the loose T-shirt is a growing, exquisite figure.

She had an exquisite oval face, the look of a typical cold beauty, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, and her mind was connecting with the urgent plot of the novel.

"On a hot summer day, a couple drove from New York with a boy and a girl.

When I arrived in Arizona, I heard news on the radio about the "immigration crisis":

Thousands of children are trying to cross the southwest border into the United States, but are being detained by the United States or are disappearing in the desert…”

“He is indeed a genius to be able to write such a novel. He is only one year older than me. Is it because of the difference in family background and surrounding living environment?

Big cities are so attractive. How could a kid like me who grew up in a small place have such experience and knowledge to write such a wonderful story? "

When Yingzhu heard her father's shout, she slowly closed the book and thought quietly.

At this moment, in addition to the admiration for Gu Yu's talent and achievements, the desire to leave the Blue Village and go to Seoul became stronger.

"Young Joo, try it, the soybean paste bibimbap I made this time is especially delicious.

And this Korean beef, I bought the Diaolong, it is top quality! The taste is very good! "

Seeing his daughter come out and sit at the dining table, Haoxi handed her a spoon with a smile.

As Young-joo grows up, her personality becomes more and more cold. Although there are some rumors, in Haoxi's eyes, his daughter is the most sensible and promising one.

Ever since he turned over a new leaf and stopped gambling, he has been both a father and a mother over the years, and his life has always revolved around his daughter, Young-joo.

"Well, not bad,"

"That's good. If you like it, eat more."

Yingzhu took a bite, and her perfunctory answer made Haoxi smile even more. He immediately filled a bowl for his daughter, with lots of beef.

South Korea has three days off for the Spring Festival, and small vendors in the five-day market will close their stalls early.

In the past few days, in addition to the seafood that she was tired of eating every day, Haoxi also changed the taste for his daughter and made ribs, barbecue, Korean beef, etc.

"Dad, you have been saving money for my college tuition and living expenses in Seoul these years, right?"

Haoxi had just served himself a bowl of rice with not much beef in it, and was stunned when he heard this.

"Why are you suddenly saying this? I did save some money. Hey, I'll get the passbook for you to see."

Haoxi got up and went to his room before he finished speaking. When he came back, he had two passbooks in his hands and a smug smile on his face.

"Over the years, your father has worked hard and lived frugally. In addition to paying back the money owed to your aunt Enxi, he also opened a savings account for you and me.

Young Joo, you have saved nearly 50 million won on this account, and I have saved 20 million won on this account,

By the time you go to college, your fortune will total 100 million. Isn't your father awesome?"

There was a hint of boasting in Haoxi's tone, and it was obvious that he was asking for praise.

From being impoverished due to gambling, to owing a large amount of foreign debt, to not even having money to buy food for his daughter,

Today, my life is back on track. Not only have I paid off my debts, but I have also saved a considerable amount of money.

Just looking at what Haoxi is wearing, you can tell how difficult it is. The socks have holes in them, the vest is washed white, and the few pieces in the closet already include clothes for spring, summer, autumn and winter.

He tried to save money and make do as much as possible, but he was as satisfied as possible with his daughter Yingzhu, whose living conditions were no worse than those of other children in the same class.

Hao Xi is now very motivated every day, saving enough money for Yingzhu to go to college in Seoul.

Also, when Young-joo graduates from university and has a good job, I can retire. Then I can buy a fishing boat and go fishing every day. It will be very comfortable.

The future of these plans is still clear to Haoxi.

Yingzhu did not respond to her father's emotions. She looked at the number on the bankbook and wondered if the money was enough to cover her high school and college expenses.

After recognizing Gu Yu's identity as a writer, an idea flashed in my mind. I thought of establishing a relationship with Gu Yu and asking for a recommendation letter from a world-renowned writer.

In order to allow her to leave the Blue Village and go to Seoul to attend high school, Young-joo looked up some information on the Internet.

I can save some money to rent a house near the school, pay tuition fees, and live on. I can work during the winter and summer vacations, work hard to get scholarships, and add the retirement fund that my father Haoxi has saved for me. It should be enough.

"Dad, there is an opportunity for me to go to high school in Seoul. With my grades and the recommendation letter, I can go to a key middle school in Seoul!"

Yingzhu looked straight at her father with her big eyes, her eyes were firm and her expression was serious.

It was just that the content was too sudden, leaving Haoxi a little stunned.

How to go to a key high school in Seoul? How to do it? Recommendation letter? Who wrote it?

Haoxi was filled with questions. He opened his mouth, but there was too much information to digest at once.

"Wait...wait a minute, Youngjoo, let me sort it out.

Going to Seoul? I haven't heard you mention that before? Is it something your school teacher has arranged?"

Hao Xi sorted himself out, then asked with a puzzled look on his face,

He has always supported his daughter to go to school in Seoul. Based on Haoxi's life experience, during high school,

He has a good relationship with Eun-hee, Mi-ran, and Han-soo, and they always hang out together.

Meilan's family was well-off, and she later moved to Seoul. She now runs a beauty salon.

Han Xiu, like him and Enxi, is a poor student in school.

As a result, Han Xiu went to Seoul to attend university. Now he has a successful career and a happy family. He is a branch manager of Hannam Bank, married to a beautiful and virtuous wife, and has a lovely daughter.

Two years ago, his daughter won the national championship in the junior golf category and is now studying and training in the United States.

Haoxi sometimes compares himself with others, but fortunately he also has a promising daughter.

Haoxi knew very well that for a family like theirs, only learning could change their destiny.

If you can go to a key high school in Seoul, your chances of success will increase.

South Koreans all know that educational resources are equally unequal, and students in Seoul are more likely to be admitted to prestigious universities.
