Qin Lin frowned. "I'm overthinking it, but now that he's here, we can't just send him back. No matter what, we have to find him a school to study in. Do you have any ideas?"
Yun Qiao said, "There's definitely a way, but I don't know if it's satisfactory to you. Many schools in Beijing offer night classes and extracurricular programs. We can find him an extracurricular program, and then have him take the entrance exam for a technical secondary school or night university. He can study there for a few days and eventually graduate with a diploma."
Qin Hai frowned upon hearing this. "Night school? How can night school be considered formal? Yun Qiao, let me tell you, Xiaochang is the most promising child in your aunt's family. He must be well-educated. He's also your nephew. As your cousin, you should at least do your best. It's better to find a formal school."
"I do want to," Yun Qiao sighed helplessly. "But Dad, you have to be more realistic. That kid's foundation isn't that good. He couldn't even get into high school in his hometown. Who can he compete with in Beijing?"
"Then find him a junior high school and have him repeat a grade." Qin Lin thought for a moment and said, "Are there any college students in your school willing to tutor others? We can pay for him to get an extracurricular tutor. I don't believe he can fail the exam this way."
Yun Qiao was speechless: "..."
It seems that her father is really determined to move Qin Chang's household registration here.
Having said that, Yun Qiao stopped beating around the bush with Qin Lin and went straight to the point: "The middle school in the capital only accepts students from the mainland. Qin Chang is not from the mainland. How do you want to resolve his household registration?"
"Of course, we'll move to our home," Qin Lin said matter-of-factly. "That's not difficult. To help you and your child with your household registration, I contacted the director of our district public security bureau and told them to process it as a relative's residence. It shouldn't be a big problem."
"You are determined to transfer Qin Chang's household registration here, right?" Yun Qiao said, "Then I will be frank. I don't agree."
After hearing Yun Qiao's words, Qin Lin frowned even more and spoke in a grave tone, "You don't agree? Why?"
He asked in confusion, "Yun Qiao, Qin Chang is your aunt's child and your nephew. You both have the surname Qin, and you are the future of our Qin family. Our family is well off now, but your aunt's family is still working hard on the land back home. It's only natural for relatives to help each other."
"Besides, one more person means one more help. If Qin Chang can finish his studies and get a good job in the capital after graduation, and establish himself here, it will be a help to you and your children in the future. I just can't understand it. This is obviously a win-win situation, so why don't you want to help him?"
Yun Qiao took a deep breath and tried to calm her tone. "Dad, it's not that I don't want to help Qin Chang. You said that Qin Chang is my nephew, and we both have the same last name. As his cousin, I don't mind giving him some help. Otherwise, I wouldn't have actively tried to find a school for him the moment you mentioned it."
At this point, Yun Qiao changed the subject: "But it's not as simple as you think. Transferring an outsider's household registration to ours is no small matter. It involves policies, procedures, and the actual situation of our family. You went to transfer my and my children's household registration, and you spent a lot of effort. That was when I was your daughter and the two children were your grandchildren. And what about Qin Chang? He is just your nephew, the grandson of your sister. The kinship between us is very distant. He has a father and a mother, and his own grandparents. No matter how close he is to you, he can't rely on you."
Qin Lin waved her hand and said, "These are not problems! I'll figure out the strategy, you don't need to worry about it. As for his studies, please take more care of him. You are his cousin, you can't just watch him fail to go to school and have to go back home to farm, right?"
Yun Qiao shook his head helplessly. "Dad, you're really trying to embarrass me. He didn't get into school because of his own lack of ability. What does it have to do with me? Let's be honest. Qin Chang couldn't even get into the county high school back home. The competition in Beijing is so fierce. Even if he managed to get into school through your connections, he might not be able to go on."
"You'd better listen to my advice. Instead of forcing this child into an environment that's not suitable for him, it's better to find him a night school and study hard for a few days. In the future, he can go to a technical secondary school or a night university. After graduation, he can still find a job."
Qin Lin waved his hand, somewhat impatiently: "Yun Qiao, what are you talking about? Qin Chang is still young. As long as he works hard, he may not be a hopeless person. When you were young, you didn't even finish high school, and you spent ten years in Northeast China in between, but in the end, you successfully got into university, didn't you? Why are you looking down on others now?"
Yun Qiao was choked by Qin Lin's words and felt aggrieved.
She was in such a hurry to go to the countryside that she only finished one year of high school. It was the principal of the high school who took pity on the students of her class and issued them a high school diploma. But had she ever slacked off during these years?
She knew the course of the future, that the Gaokao would be reinstated, but her university acceptance letter didn't just come out of nowhere. Without her unwavering dedication, even if she were to return, she still wouldn't know where the university gates would lead.
That’s Ye Lin, isn’t it?
Ye Lin was born in 1989 just like her. Did Ye Lin get into university?
No.
She didn't look down on Qin Chang, but she felt that Qin Lin's expectations were too unrealistic.
She truly loves reading and studying medicine, which is why she has persisted for so many years and has never put down her books.
But is Qin Chang?
He clearly isn't.
He himself said that he was not cut out for studying.
He wants to be a soldier.
Yun Qiao didn't want to argue with Qin Lin, so he was silent for a long time. After calming down, he slowly said, "Dad, I don't look down on Qin Chang. I just think that if you really care about your child, you can't just be superficial. You need to start from the actual situation and think about him in the long run."
"He's not cut out for studying. Forcing him into an environment where he can't keep up will only make him miserable."
Qin Lin's expression softened slightly after hearing this, but his tone remained firm: "Then what do you say we should do? We can't just let him go back home, right?"
He paused here and couldn't help but add, "I just can't understand what you're thinking, kid. It's not like Dad can't afford to send him to a good school. If he succeeds in the future, it won't be a problem for you. Why do you have to object?"
"Dad, I believe you have the ability to get him into a good school in Beijing, but you can't pave the way for him that he can't pave on his own." Yun Qiao said, "He's not interested in this, so how can he possibly achieve anything in this area?"
"Look at you, you still have a prejudice against him and think he's not good enough." Qin Lin said, "The education in his hometown is not good enough. He didn't learn well in his hometown, but that doesn't mean he won't learn well in Beijing."
Yun Qiao felt weak.
There were some things she and Qin Lin just couldn't communicate. After so much talk, they just kept going around in circles and back to the same place.
He was determined to move Qin Chang's household registration to the capital, and no one could persuade him.
"never mind……"
"I don't care. Do as you please."
After saying that, Yun Qiao turned around and left.
"Hey, Yun Qiao..." Qin Lin stood up and called her.
Yun Qiao ignored him and continued walking. He even quickened his pace, looking quite angry from behind.
Feng Juan came out of the kitchen at the sound of some noise and saw Yun Qiao angrily returning to her room. Turning around, she saw Qin Lin standing in the middle of the living room like a door god. She was immediately furious: "What did you say to Yun Qiao? Yun Qiao is such a good-tempered girl, and you made her so angry?"
Qin Lin pursed his lips, his tone a little weak: "Well, it's nothing, it's just about Qin Chang's schooling."
Feng Juan understood as soon as she heard him say that.
She lowered her head, untied her apron, and casually draped it over the back of the chair next to her. She asked Qin Lin calmly, "Old Qin, let me ask you, are you determined to get Qin Chang's household registration here?"
Qin Lin was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized: "You object too?"
