Chapter 66: Qin Xiangyang’s Proposal to Attend School
"Go to school?" Qin Xiangyang inexplicably disliked this term. "I’m not going," he refused to go to school, he wanted to run a shop, make money, and take care of his little sister. If he went to school, what would become of his sister?
"Brother," Qin Xiangnuan crinkled her little nose, she didn’t want to raise a brother who only knew the obsession with money.
The future belongs to the era of culture.
Without culture, it could be terrifying.
What they are earning now is just petty business; without culture, do they have to sell pancakes here for a lifetime?
"Now that our family has money, you should go to school," Qin Xiangnuan insisted that her brother must go to school. After the New Year, he would be ten years old. It’s normal for rural children to start school late, at eight or nine. If he had to repeat a year, it was not uncommon to be ten and in the first grade, so he could still keep up.
"Didn’t brother say he would teach me how to write?" Qin Xiangnuan shook Qin Xiangyang’s arm.
"Brother, I want to learn to write, I want to learn to write."
"Then is it okay for you to go to school?" Qin Xiangyang’s head was starting to hurt. He really had no interest in going to school at all. Why bother with school when everything was fine? He preferred farming—oh right, not farming anymore, they were selling pancakes now.
"I’m too young, the school won’t take me," Qin Xiangnuan turned around, ready to go to sleep and practice writing.
Qin Xiangyang scratched his head and realized that was true, the village school had its regulations and only took older children, starting from eight years old. Qin Xiangnuan would only be old enough to go to school the year after next.
What about the shop? Qin Xiangyang was now worried about their shop.
