Chapter 206: The Baffled Second Sister’s Husband

Cheng Baokun waved his hand. "I don't expect much. My boy has his own mind. He is filial, just not careful. His heart is on his career. He says he is traveling, but I feel it is not just a trip." He knew his son well.

Cheng Xu was the most promising talent in the Cheng family. His vision and social skills showed his innate ability. The family supported him fully. Once he graduated, they would arrange his future. So, his free time was only these college years. But Cheng Xu could not sit still. Since middle school, he found ways to earn money during holidays. He said using his own money felt better. Now, saying he was traveling, Cheng Baokun guessed he had a purpose.

In fact, Cheng Xu did have a plan. His target was the border of Country E. He planned to be a temporary border trader. He would take domestic goods over and bring back foreign goods. It was dangerous, but high risk meant high reward. He would not tell his family. They would oppose it. So, no one in the family knew.

"Cheng Xu is so smart. You should not be ungrateful for your good fortune," Zhu Shun Yao teased him rarely.

Cheng Baokun laughed. He complained about his son but loved him deeply. "By the way, which middle school does your Ani plan to attend?"

"Town Middle School. Where else?" Zhu Shun Yao said casually.

"City Middle School," Cheng Baokun said, amused. "Yaojiang City Junior High is very good. Studying there gives a better chance to enter a top high school. Besides, we should not skimp on education. We are not poor. Why not send your daughter to a good school?"

"I am not unwilling," Zhu Shun Yao scratched his head. "I just do not know these things. Brother, is the city school really that good?"

"It is good. At least eighty percent of the teachers are normal university graduates," Cheng Baokun said. "But maybe you do not need to worry. The city school has special recruitment quotas every year. It is for students with excellent grades. I think Ani has no problem."

Zhu Shun Yao thought for a moment. "But Ani’s household registration is in Sicheng Town. Can she go to the city school?"

"Ani’s grades are so good. She will definitely be specially recruited. The city school wants excellent primary students from the Yaojiang area. Ani is first in her grade every year. Also, this primary-to-middle school exam is said to be a unified exam for the whole city. If her grades are fine, do not worry about admission," Cheng Baokun gave a definite answer.

Zhu Shun Yao nodded slightly. "That is good. If there is such a path, let Ani go to the city school. We do not lack that money. As long as she studies well, it is fine." Zhu Shun Yao regretted not having a good education himself. So, if his child had this good opportunity, he would absolutely support it.

Cheng Baokun suggested this because he knew Zhu Shun Yao’s character.

The train started moving. Trains at this time did not have the fast speed of later high-speed rail. The speed was slow. The sound was clatter-clatter. Listening for a long time, it could act as a lullaby. Zhu Zhibin leaned on the window, listening. His small face was full of excitement. He sometimes imitated the sound: "Clatter-clatter." Such innocence made Xie Xinlian smile knowingly.
