"Aunt, what is English class? Is it what foreigners speak?" Xu Jian asked naively.
Lin Qin had a headache and explained to the two children in detail the importance of Western countries and English. "Your parents are busy and don't have time to care about so many things. This winter vacation, you can take English classes here with Ping An Yaya and see the results first."
The two children admired their aunt and uncle, so naturally they agreed to whatever Lin Qin said.
the next day.
Lin Qin sent her four children to a training institution, told Bai Linlin about the situation, then turned around and sent the younger ones to a daycare center, starting her hard winter vacation study life.
It was almost time for the daycare center to close before Lin Qin started to clean the house, buy New Year clothes for the children, and prepare New Year's goods.
After finishing all these, it was New Year's Eve.
Xu Dahai brought his little daughter and Nian Li to Nanyu to pick someone up. He was stunned when he heard his two sons talking loudly in words he couldn't understand.
"Dad! What are Ajian and Akang doing?" Xu Dahai put the things in the kitchen and looked towards the hall in confusion.
Lin Yi scolded angrily, "You are parents who pay less attention to their children than aunts! Aqin has enrolled the four children in an English specialty class. The four children have been studying for more than half a month. They have one class a day and spend the rest of the time doing homework and exercising. They go fishing when they have time. They also have to repeat what they learned every day and read English for half an hour every morning, noon and night."
Xu Dahai was shocked. "Dad! I thought my sister-in-law asked them to come over to play with Ping An and Ya Ya. No, I have to ask how much the two children spent on their lessons. I can't let them pay for it as well as work."
"Forget it! I'll pay for it, you can do whatever you need to do! Don't affect the children's studies. Also, let me tell you something, since you two are busy with business and can't take care of the children, why not just send them to school in the city.
Anyway, it doesn’t make any difference whether I pick up two children or four, I just need to transfer the children’s household registration.”
Lin Yi had this idea a long time ago, especially when he saw the gap between his two older grandsons and his two younger grandsons, this idea became even stronger. It just so happened that all the money he earned from selling lotus roots, sweet potatoes, calla lilies, and taro this year was not used, and his current private savings amounted to five figures.
He himself didn't need so much money, so he could use it to make careful plans for his grandchildren.
Xu Dahai hesitated, "Dad, the children's household registration is in the village. If they are transferred out, won't Aying and I have to move with them?"
Lin Yi rolled his eyes at him and said, "I've inquired about it. As long as one of you two transfers out, the child's household registration can be obtained.
Collective labor is no longer popular nowadays, and each family lives on their own. Your village doesn't have much money, and the land has been divided up long ago. It won't have any impact if the two children's household registration is transferred out.
The education conditions in the city are good. In the village, the two boys probably didn't want to continue studying after junior high school. Now that they are in the city and are surrounded by educated children, their ideas will be different. Don't you want a college student in your family?"
These words really hit the nail on the head for Xu Dahai.
He was originally hesitant, but he immediately gritted his teeth and agreed, "I'll discuss it with Aying later, but is it troublesome to transfer schools?"
Lin Yi pondered and said, "You can find Wenjun. Wenjun knows the supervisor of the Education Bureau. He even gives New Year gifts to people during the Chinese New Year. Ask him to take you there to ask. We are just transferring schools and we are not asking them to do anything for us, so there shouldn't be any problem."
Xu Dahai was concerned.
I originally planned to give my two sons a New Year gift and then take them back home, but because of this matter I stayed for two more hours and discussed it carefully with Chen Wenjun before taking my two sons back home.
It was almost dark when I got home.
Lin Ying prepared the New Year's Eve dinner. She was relieved to see the father and his two sons return safely. She scolded, "It's New Year's Eve, but you're still so late!"
Xu Dahai was very happy and shouted to his two sons, "Come on! Big brother and little brother, speak a few words to your mother in English."
Xu Jian and Xu Kang immediately greeted Lin Ying in English.
Lin Ying was stunned. "What is this? What is this saying? I don't understand a single word."
"You don't understand, right? That's right! Your two sons have become successful and can speak foreign languages! I went to pick up the children today and found out that my sister-in-law sent these two boys to the city to study English.
Dad meant that the school in our village was not good, so he wanted us to transfer the two children's household registration to the city so that they could go to school in the city. He also didn't want us to pay for it, saying that he would pay for his grandchildren's education in the future.
I think what my father said is right. If the children stay in the village, they will probably go out to work after graduating from junior high school, or even not finish junior high school. It will be different if they go to the city. My father and sister-in-law will keep a close eye on them, and the study atmosphere in the city is good. We can't expect the two children to have a great future, but if they can get into high school or college, they won't have to live as hard as we do, right?"
Lin Ying wanted his two sons to be successful more than Xu Dahai did. Hearing this, he nodded vigorously and said, "That's right! For the sake of the children's future, we have to send them to the city to study."
Xu Dahai's expression eased. "It will be easy if you agree. The house in the city is bought for you by Dad. What I mean is that you transfer your household registration with the child, and Xinyi and I will stay in the village.
Wait until she grows up and then transfer there. By then, the three of them will go to the city to study. Among the three of them, one will be able to get into a junior college!"
He doesn't dare to think about going to university, but he can still think about going to a junior college.
Lin Ying's heart was burning with excitement, and she and Xu Dahai planned to move their household registration after the seventh day of the New Year.
Because of this, the couple decided not to go to the city on the second day of the Chinese New Year, and they also called Lin Qin to tell her.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Xu Dahai brought two bottles of wine to the village party secretary's home to pay New Year's greetings and inquire about the household registration transfer.
The village party secretary was very surprised and asked about the situation.
Xu Dahai told Lin Ying that her parents had bought her a house and would arrange for their two children to go to school in the city.
The village party secretary was envious, "Great! This is a good thing! For the sake of the children's future, we should move out. Then, you can come to my place on the eighth day of the first lunar month to fill in the documents. You will have to go to the city several times by then."
Xu Dahai quickly thanked him.
The village party secretary was also very tight-lipped and never let out any news until Lin Ying and her two sons were registered in the city and Xu Jian and Xu Kang transferred to the city's experimental primary school. Only then did the news spread.
When Xu Dahai's eldest sister-in-law Wang Fengying found out, she couldn't sit still anymore. She pulled her husband Xu Dapeng and said unhappily, "The second son is really capable. I think he is just afraid that we will take advantage of them, so he is in a hurry to split up the family.
If we hadn't split up, our children would have been able to go to school in the city. You should think of a solution quickly. We can't let our children be left behind."
As the most favored daughter-in-law of the Xu family, Wang Fengying always felt that she was superior to others and did not take Lin Ying and Zhang Guizhi seriously.
Even if the second and third wives had a bad fight, she would just sit on the sidelines and watch as if it were a joke. (End of this chapter)
