"Third sister is going to learn Japanese! Fourth sister has signed up for fabric analysis." Liu Ni answered quickly.
Chen Chunhua had an average brain and was full of questions. She could understand fabric analysis. After all, their light textile manufacturing industry was relatively developed. Si Ni worked as a sewing machine operator in a textile factory. If she learned some fabric analysis, she might be promoted to an office job one day and no longer have to work in three shifts.
But Sanni… "Japanese?!"
Wu Ni nodded, "Third sister said that since we've paid tuition to study, we should choose what we are most interested in. That way we will have the motivation to learn and learn well."
Liu Ni continued, "So I chose farming, and my fourth sister chose fabrics. My third sister said she doesn't like farming and longs for something less rustic. And foreign languages seem the most fashionable, so she wants to learn something more fashionable."
In fact, there are two foreign language options for night school, besides English, there is also Japanese.
Sanni even went to the two classrooms to listen in before signing up yesterday. She came back and said the English teacher's chatter on the stage sounded like bird talk to her. She thought the Japanese was similar to her local dialect, though. She figured it wouldn't be difficult to learn, so she signed up.
Chen Chunhua laughed for a long time, and finally gave Sanni a thumbs up in her heart. The future is to be open, open, and open again. Learn another foreign language. No matter what, you will definitely be able to make a living in the next ten or twenty years!
Stylish! Absolutely stylish!
"Aunt, let me tell you one more thing." Liu Ni pulled Chen Chunhua's arm, her mouth almost grinning from ear to ear.
"What's the matter?" Chen Chunhua asked.
"Daddy paid for all our night school tuition!"
In Liu Ni's thirteen years of life, apart from the basic expenses of food and drink, she rarely remembers the impression of Ma Dexiang taking out real money to spend on them.
Especially after Wu Ni was beaten for going to school, no one would ask for money anymore. Even when Ma Dexiang offered to pay the tuition for the five younger children, Wu Ni refused.
This time, when Ma Dexiang knew that the three of them were going to night school, he asked how much the tuition was, then went back to the house to get the money and gave it to Sanni.
"I know I've let you down in the past. Your mom and I will do our best to make up for it in the future. I don't have much money, but I can still afford this little bit of tuition."
Sanni didn't act pretentiously. She accepted it and then gave the fourth and sixth brothers' shares to them.
The daughters didn't seem to appreciate it on the surface, but Chen Chunhua could tell from Liuni's face that she was happy.
Even Wu Ni curled her lips but said nothing when her sixth sister mentioned this matter. You should know that she is no less rebellious than San Ni.
Chen Chunhua patted their heads and said gently, "When they get old, they will still have to rely on you to take care of them. Just take what's given to you. There's no need to be angry and refuse to accept it because of what happened before. There's no need, understand?"
Wu Ni and Liu Ni nodded, and the third sister said the same thing.
Their parents were indeed unreliable and often failed, but reincarnation was a skill, and they had no choice from the moment they were born. Besides, their unreliability seemed relatively mild compared to some other extreme parents in this era.
You can't just sever ties with your parents because they're mediocre and can't help them, right? Since Comrade Lao Ma has begun to reflect and try to mend the relationship, then they should just keep it to themselves.

However, night school seemed to have turned on a switch for the Ma sisters. Not to mention Sanni and Sini, Liuni was more enthusiastic about night school than daytime cultural classes.
After attending the breeding class in the evening for a week, she would squat in the breeding farm to study her homework as soon as she got out of school during the day. She even told Wu Ni that she might as well stop going to school and concentrate on studying chickens and ducks. There are 365 professions and every profession has its top talents. Is it possible that she will become the new generation of chicken king in the future?
Before the adults could deal with her, Wu Ni gave her a slap in the face.
“Have you ever met an illiterate expert?”
Their original purpose of raising poultry was to make money for studying, but now she is putting the cart before the horse. Wu Ni feels a little disappointed in her. You are already studying, so you should at least graduate from junior high school!
So the flame that Liu Ni had just ignited was suppressed by Wu Ni. It was time to study and make money.
However, Lin Shu was on his way home from school when he heard Liu Ni promoting the benefits of night school. He was also tempted and asked his parents if he could also go to night school.
Chen Chunhua & Lin Guoqing: ...
"What do you want to learn?"
Lin Shu scratched his head. He didn't know either, but he felt that the opportunity to learn could not be missed.
Chen Chunhua: "Aren't night school teachers the same as those in the village's middle and high schools? If you want to learn academic subjects, just listen carefully during the day. If you want to learn technical skills, your family doesn't need you to earn a living right now. If you don't have anything particularly interesting, you might as well use the evenings to review your lessons."
Lin Shugan even specifically asked Liuni what courses were offered at the night school, wanting to see if there was anything that interested him. However, after listening for a long time, he felt that they were all average.
He was not very interested in mechanical skills and textile knowledge, and he was also average. As for foreign languages, they already had English classes in junior high school, so there was no need to take them. He gave up on it, but he was still a little depressed.
Lin Guoqing asked him why he was unhappy,
Lin Shugan: "Dad, what do you think I can do in the future?"
Lin Guoqing: "Hmm? What do you want to do?"
Lin Shugan shook his head. He was unhappy because he didn't know what he could do.
“You all say that studying is for the purpose of earning a lot of money in the city so you don’t have to go back home to farm. But there are only a few jobs that pay well in the city, and I don’t know how to do any of them, nor do I really like studying.
My eldest sister and fifth cousin both said they wanted to be teachers, my sixth cousin said she wanted to be a chicken farmer, my youngest sister said she wanted to be a businessman, and even my third cousin thought about becoming a monk... Everyone has their own dreams, except me..."
Lin Guoqing was happy. Is it too early to start thinking about your future career now?
"That's why you should study even more. You're only 12 years old now, and you haven't read much yet. When you go to high school or college, you might find a new profession in a book that interests you."
Lin Guoqing looked at his sensible and carefree son and smiled like an old father. "When the time comes, you can work hard for it. As long as it's not against the law, your parents will support you in whatever you want to do."
Lin Shugan's confused little head gradually became clear in his father's encouraging eyes, and he nodded hesitantly.
"I will study hard and try to find the answer before I finish the book."
Lin Shuchao suddenly popped his head out from behind the two of them, "Dad! I want to go to a martial arts school! I don't want to be a monk anymore, I want to be a kung fu master!"
"...Don't make me whip you!"
