It's rare for Qi Taiguo to join the family for dinner, so he had a lot to say. He either talked with his father, inquired about the academic progress of his younger siblings, or exchanged a few words with Mother Qi, who was getting quite restless.
"Jianguo, you're taking the college entrance exams next year, right? How are your grades, is your studying going well?" Qi Taiguo asked his younger brother.
Qi Jianguo, feeling a bit awkward, answered while holding his rice bowl, "It's okay."
Qi Taiguo nodded in response and said, "While studying is important, you need to balance work and rest. Don't let yourself get burnt out. Whatever you do, there should be moderation. You don't need to worry about the tuition fees, as long as you get into college, my wife and I will support you financially."
Qi Jianguo nodded, "Thank you, Big Brother."
"But I guess you won't be the first college student in our family!" Qi Taiguo said smugly.
