He really likes Conghua, who is quite smart and knows that Qin Xiangyang is his provider now. On normal days, he gets the most meat from him, so the dog is exceedingly well-behaved and never barks aggressively at Qin Xiangyang.
After training for a while, it’s evident that Qin Xiangyang’s presence has become more commanding, and he has developed muscular strength. From afar, he looks immovable like a mountain. Now, not only does Qin Xiangyang need to go to school, but Qin Xiangnuan does as well; she too needs to attend high school.
In fact, there’s nothing much going now; the system doesn’t mandatorily assign tasks to her anymore. After finishing tasks within the system, there really isn’t much left for her to do outside. She has reviewed most of the materials that Jian Zhiqing provided her. Although she had missed nearly half a year of junior high, her learning ability is decent. With Jian Zhiqing’s tutoring, attending high school wouldn’t be a problem, and her academic registration issues have also been resolved by Jian Zhiqing. Of course, they also owe thanks to another person, Mr. Jiang. After school starts, Balabala Sakura Dance will be performing in the five provinces—it’s almost guaranteed that they will win awards.
Mr. Jiang has taught students all his life at Bayi, even though he teaches elementary school. He has comrades and friends in the junior and senior high divisions. With just a call, he managed to place Qin Xiangnuan in a good class, which also serves as gratitude for Qin Xiangnuan’s assistance to Class Three, allowing these veteran teachers a moment of pride.
And Qin Xiangnuan took that kindness to heart.
While she was reviewing, Qin Xiangyang was registering for the military academy. The interview went smoothly; having answered a few questions and completed a physical examination, he qualified in all respects. Tuition was not required; it was more like fulfilling military service and he received a national subsidy. Since Qin Xiangyang did not take the college entrance exam but used his middle school qualification for admission, there was still much for him to learn. Jian Zhiqing had suggested that he should complete high school and later consider university, even graduate studies.
Military academies highly value talent.
Compared to those new students who know nothing upon enrollment, Qin Xiangyang is indeed a promising prospect. Although he’s not extremely intelligent, he possesses a fearless heart and learns quickly. He is straightforward in character, never turning back unless he hits a wall.
With this resolve, and his positive performance during training in activities like making beds or standing at attention, or other exercises, he was already categorized as promising. Remembering Jian Zhiqing’s words, military academy is tough; if you’re going to do it, do it well. Thus, after training, he also self-studied using borrowed high school textbooks and even taught himself English. He understood that future warfare would be high-tech, not just brute force, so he needed to acquire a broad knowledge and master high-tech skills while at the academy.
He had no idea that the path Jian Zhiqing laid out for him, as long as he persevered, would lead to seemingly boundless prospects.
As for Qin Xiangnuan, knowing her elder brother was in the military academy put her heart at ease. Now that he was enrolled, and the academy was close to home, her brother could come home on weekends. During the Lunar New Year, they would return to Shenjia Village together to celebrate with their grandmother.
