Han Rou took a sip of cocoa milk, and the sweet taste eased her tense mood.
Han Rou mustered her courage and said, "Grandpa, I also want to go to the school where my third brother is."
"Your grades are currently excellent, and you're eligible for direct admission to a top-tier high school. Why do you want to go to that school?"
“I don’t want to just study what’s in books. I’ve heard my third brother talk about that school. It’s a military school where you’ll be exposed to all sorts of knowledge. You can shoot arrows, ride horses, and do a lot of chemical and scientific experiments. These are skills that I really aspire to—skills that can be used in real life, detached from books.”
Han Fei was surprised that Han Rou, at such a young age, already understood that book knowledge was merely theoretical; practical application was essential for real-world application. Even top-tier middle schools in ordinary cities couldn't afford to offer too many experimental classes or organize too many practical activities.
In some large cities, such as first-tier cities, children may be exposed to more experiments, such as science experiments, and even have anatomy classes in junior high school. Schools may also organize trips for children to see the aurora in Antarctica. These things are difficult to achieve in some smaller cities.
Now that he has money, Han Fei also wants to go to big cities and take his children to receive a better education. However, he is also worried that if they go to those cities, his children will encounter cold violence from their classmates, or... even worse treatment.
This is something Han Fei is very wary of.
He didn't want his children to experience the realities and harshness of society too early.
Schools in big cities are more like miniature societies. Many children there, due to family circumstances and affluent economic conditions, have traveled abroad and seen a wider world, leading to greater maturity. While maturity has its advantages, it also has many downsides. For example, locals may gang up on outsiders, and transfer students often become targets of attention.
In fact, Han Rou's choice is quite good. The military-style school is located locally, and it can broaden her knowledge. Compared with ordinary middle schools, it is indeed more comprehensive and can avoid the risks that may be brought about by transferring schools.
After all, they are all locals, so the small city is quite harmonious and has a strong sense of community.
Just look at how Han Fei led the troublesome candied hawthorn vendor to the village, and how all the villagers came out to help—you can tell that the people there are simple and honest, unlike the cold and indifferent people in big cities. In big cities, even if you're next door, you probably wouldn't exchange a single word; you wouldn't even recognize someone you bump into on the street.
"You should know your third brother's ambitions."
“He told me that this military school is a combined junior high and high school program, and he planned to join the army as soon as he graduated.”
"So what about you? After graduating from junior high school, do you plan to continue your studies at the senior high school affiliated with this school, or will you take the high school entrance exam to go to another school?"
"If possible, I would like to continue my studies, and after graduation, I would like to join the army."
"Given your circumstances, getting into university shouldn't be a problem."
"I'd rather join the army; I heard you can go to university while in the military."
"If you can get into a good university, Grandpa suggests that you go to university and then join the army after you graduate."
"Why?"
"The military needs college graduates even more."
"Then why doesn't Third Brother use it?"
Han Fei gave her a helpless look: "Can he even get into Tsinghua University or Longda University?"
"This..." Han Rou knew that her third brother was not fond of studying.
“For boys from ordinary universities, it’s better to just join the army directly. There’s no need for that.” Han Fei looked at Han Rou: “You’re different. You have excellent grades. If you have the opportunity to get into a top university, Grandpa hopes you will go to university first and then join the army after you graduate.”
"I understand, there are differences between girls and boys, right?"
"Uh..." Han Fei touched his nose. This child was too perceptive, wasn't he?
"Grandpa, I believe you. I will listen to you. I will take the college entrance exam, and I will work hard to get into Longda University."
"Not considering clearing out?"
Han Rou shook her head: "I'm going to be a soldier. Long Da is more suitable for me. I love my country."
Han Fei smiled but remained silent.
This child is a sensible person.
On the first day of school, Han Chengshan happily dragged his luggage and waved to his family: "See you on the weekend!"
It feels like I've grown wings and can fly! My family won't be able to control me anymore! Hahaha!
Han Rou walked over, dragging her suitcase, and said with a smile, "Let's go together."
Han Chengshan was completely bewildered: "Second sister, you're traveling with me? What the heck? Isn't your school in the East District? We're on two different routes!"
His second sister was a good student and was directly admitted to a good school without having to take entrance exams, which he greatly envied. Unlike him, who had to suffer through the rigorous assessments of a military-style school and painstakingly practice his spoken English.
"Third brother, I forgot to tell you, we went to the same school."
"What? Second sister, you want me to clean my ears? Did I hear that right?"
"We go to the same middle school, and if we're lucky, we might even be in the same class."
"Second sister, what's wrong with you? You can't joke about this! Weren't you admitted to a top-tier high school through a special admission program?"
"Oh, that school, I'm not going to attend it anymore," Han Rou said casually.
"No! That's a top-tier middle school, so many people are eager to get in! My school is only for those who aren't good at studying and want to join the army. What are you going to study there?"
"Oh, I forgot to tell you, I'm going to join the army someday too."
"What!!!"
Han Chengshan was dumbfounded once again.
Han Rou smiled gently: "Han classmate, please guide me in the future. If we don't leave soon, we might be late."
Han Chengshan got into the car in a daze, and he still hadn't come to his senses by the time he reached the school gate.
He took out his admission letter and went into the school. When he saw that his second sister had shown him the same admission letter, he finally began to believe it.
His smart and beautiful second sister, a top student, actually gave up her guaranteed admission to a prestigious high school and became his classmate? It's unbelievable!
When they were in the same class, Han Chengshan broke down, tears streaming down his face: "Second sister, my wings have been broken!"
I finally get to fly, and I only get to see my family on the weekend!
Now look what's happened! There's a big shot above us, and we're even in the same class. How am I supposed to live like this?!
After seeing the children off, Han Fei returned to his room and continued carving.
Xiaoqi's "zoo" is almost finished.
The seven rough stones that Little Six brought back this time all yielded quite good results.
Eldest piece: Apple green, full green, high-quality icy jade. (3 x 5000m gold, enough for two sets of jewelry, not expensive.)
Second item: White with a touch of imperial green (approximately 4,000-5,000 yuan; suitable for cabochon cutting. The white version can be made into a jewelry set. Glassy type, priced around 10 million yuan.)
Third: Full Purple, Imperial Purple (approximately 100 million, largest and heaviest, can be made into two sets of jewelry)
Fourth item: Full pinkish-purple glassy jadeite (can be made into a set of jewelry; it varies from person to person, some will really like it, and rich, beautiful young ladies might want it.)
Fifth: Imperial Yellow (Natural pyramid shape, decorative piece. Royal use only, irreplaceable, auction price could exceed 100 million!)
Sixth: Top-grade imperial green jadeite (enough to make a set of jewelry, initially estimated at 200 million, suitable for auction, its value is immeasurable!)
Xiaoqi: Tang Sancai (Grandpa needs to carve a "zoo" with yellow chicks, purple kittens, pink rabbits, white pandas, green bamboo and lawns; it can be used as a decorative piece or handicraft. The jade itself is estimated at 500,000 yuan, plus the carving, it will be 3 million yuan!)
Although Han Fei was not short of money, he was somewhat envious of Xiao Lao Liu's "jade fingers". When he was short of money, he could go to the jade gambling market and make money without losing. Wasn't that great?
Come to think of it, I'm the one who transmigrated, right? Or is my cheat ability just about predicting the plot?
