Chapter 20: Come study with me. 

As for Fan Xia's future development, after seeing Officer Da Fan in the "real world", Ning Xiaobei has already determined that he will not fall into a vocational school, nor become a social menace.

"Fan Xia wants to go to No. 1 Middle School with me, right?"

In the living room on the first floor of the Ning family, after dinner, Ning Xiaobei patted Fan Xia's shoulder sitting beside him, and said to Uncle Zhao sitting next to his father.

Originally, he also wanted to find an opportunity to talk to Uncle Zhao about Fan Xia's future, and he also wanted his father to take him to the Workers' New Village.

Who knew that as soon as he got home today, he saw Uncle Zhao helping his father in the kitchen, washing fish by the sink.

After inquiring further, he learned that there was news about their welfare house. The group had already approved the report, and now the documents were going through the process internally in the factory. It would probably take about two months for the keys to be distributed, so Uncle Zhao bought a lot of cooked food and came early to congratulate his father.

Unlike Ning Jianguo, who only knows how to work quietly, Manager Zhao often gets a lot of inside information from being around the factory director.

"Xiao Xia, are you sure? You want to take the exam for No. 1 Middle School?"

With his hands crossed in front of his chest, Zhao Jingwen looked at the uneasy Fan Xia seriously and asked in a serious tone.

"Um..."

Fan Xia nodded his head somewhat helplessly.

"You, this kid, why do you change your mind every day? Last time when your uncle asked you to consider going to a better middle school, you ran away from home, wanting to go to the mountains to learn martial arts. Now, just because Xiaobei mentioned it, you dare to consider going to No. 1 Middle School? Are you thinking about trying Peking University or Tsinghua University next?" Zhao Jingwen said with a mischievous smile.

"Uncle!" Fan Xia felt embarrassed.

"Going to the mountains to learn skills" had become a stain on his life that he couldn't erase. Just the thought of it made him want to find a hole to hide in. But this uncle liked to bring it up from time to time to tease him.

"Alright, alright, it's good for kids to be ambitious, why dampen his spirits?" Ning Jianguo said with a wry smile.

"But 'being recommended'...isn't it difficult?" Zhao Jingwen rubbed his chin.

"Do you need Uncle to 'smooth things over' for you?" Zhao Jingwen, accustomed to running errands, felt that everything was negotiable.

"Or else, Fan Xia, why don't you go to the office and inquire? Didn't you say there's a nerd in your class who, every day after class, either goes to the bathroom or hangs around the teacher's office doing errands? Why don't you learn from him?"

"Why should I learn from Ding Zheyang? I'm not a brown-noser!" Fan Xia frowned in disgust.

"No need to make it so complicated. Today, our teacher Qiu said it. The final recommendation quota will be decided based on the next midterm exam results — it's based on real ability," analyzed Ning Xiaobei. "I don't intend to take up this quota. Anyway, I'm sure to pass the entrance exam for No. 1 Middle School through the self-recommended admission, so it would be a waste for me."
