Chapter 217: 126, The Taste of the New Year, Lin Mo’s Important Plans for the Future!_2
Endless compliments, incessant smiles—it felt as if the entire world had become exceptionally friendly.
If this all had happened when I was 20, Lin Mo guessed, he might have floated all the way to the skies.
But now, since he has already passed the age of thirty, having experienced so many ups and downs that ordinary people might not encounter in a lifetime, his mindset had become much steadier.
Facing the drastic changes in life, Lin Mo could only sincerely lament, “Having money is really good.”
As they chatted, the couple eventually talked about their plans after the New Year.
Nobody in the family was working at the moment, which wasn’t a problem short-term, but in the long run, they definitely needed to find something to do.
They both understood the principle that sitting idle would deplete one’s resources.
Even if it didn’t run out, staying at home all the time was boring; constant inactivity could lead to rustiness, and the body would deteriorate as well.
After some thought, Lin Mo said, “Wife, our money is basically enough for us, but I’m thinking of opening an antique shop after the New Year. That way, I can make money and also be at home with you.”
“Following Uncle Tai, although money comes quickly, we still need our own enterprise. Only then can we feel more secure. Otherwise, if one day Uncle Tai no longer wants to include me, or if something happens to his health, it will be too late to think about these matters.”
“Okay, I’ll listen to you. You decide on these matters; you’re the head of the family.” Li Jinwen has always been very supportive of Lin Mo’s decisions.
Not to mention, now that her husband was so capable of earning money, in just half a year he had brought her a lifestyle she never dared to imagine before.
The two of them chatted for a while longer and then brought up the matter of their daughter.
Li Jinwen said, “Husband, Xiaoxiao definitely can’t just play at home all the time. During this time, I’ve asked around the village too, and now most of the children from the surrounding villages are going to schools in the city. Although the teaching quality can’t compare to Rakshasa City, it’s at least better than the schools in the townships.”
“The only issue might be the commute; we might have to buy an apartment in the city, or even rent will do.”
Now educational resources are becoming more centralized, and there are no longer kindergartens or elementary schools in the village.
Even the kindergartens and elementary schools in the towns don’t have many students left, often leading to the awkward situation where only a few students are in one grade.
Even the poorest villagers will try every means to send their children to schools in the county towns.
If they are slightly better off, they will exhaust all means, pull strings, and ask friends to get their children into urban schools, or other private elementary schools with higher teaching quality.
Everyone understands that the higher up you go, the better the quality of education.
People aspire to climb higher, just as water flows to lower ground.
Parents want to send their children to better schools, and teachers, being human, naturally also want to develop in better places.
Even if the county occasionally has one or two exceptionally performing teachers, they are quickly poached by private schools or schools in the city.
The siphoning effect is quite severe.
Of course, if we’re just talking about teaching quality, even the best elementary schools in the city can’t compare to some of the ordinary public elementary schools in Rakshasa City.
They’re simply not competing at the same level.
At least in this third-tier city where Lin Mo lives, that’s the current situation.
Where should his daughter go to school?
Lin Mo had certainly thought deeply about this issue before.
He indeed has money now, so much that even if his daughter never went to school, she could still live a very comfortable life for her entire life.
The same was true for the unborn child in Li Jinwen’s belly.
Being full-time children at home, Lin Mo could definitely afford to support them.
But the significance of learning is not solely about making money,
After completing the initial accumulation of wealth, Lin Mo also hoped that his children would have higher aspirations in the future.
At the very least, he wanted to let them pursue education until age 18, then let them decide their own lives.
Not attending school now was definitely not acceptable.
This was a serious issue. After pondering for a moment, Lin Mo expressed his thoughts: “I’ve also thought about this, but I feel that even the best elementary school in our city is just so-so.”
“So, wife, I have a bold idea… why can’t we build our own private elementary school? We’ll build it to the standards of Rakshasa City and attract first-class teachers!”
Ah?
Upon hearing Lin Mo’s idea, Li Jinwen was completely shocked, her mind filled with disbelief.
Build a school?
Build… a private school?
Was this something their kind of family should even be considering?
After a good ten seconds of stunned silence, Li Jinwen gradually came to her senses, realizing that their family’s circumstances were indeed a bit different now.
They were no longer the working-class family of six months ago, merely saving a few thousand yuan a month.
Not to mention anything else,
just the Land Rover and Maybach parked outside were worth several million combined, plus the savings her husband had accumulated were also at least in the tens of millions.
It seemed they could possibly try opening a high-standard private school in their hometown?
Still, after thinking it over a bit more carefully, Li Jinwen voiced her concerns: “Husband, opening a private school not only requires a lot of money but also strong connections, and finding good teachers is especially difficult nowadays.”
“Even with all that prepared, the tuition would undoubtedly be high, and attracting students would be a big trouble.”
Lin Mo had naturally thought about all these problems his wife mentioned.
Moreover, what he wanted in the future wasn’t just an elementary school but a premium full-range education business from kindergarten to high school.
This wasn’t only for his daughter or his future son but also to significantly raise the social status of his family.
