Chapter 649: Urging Zhou Hao to Marry
"It was Secretary Liu who called to inform us. Who is like you? You came back without saying anything!"
Speaking of this, Shen Yulin rolled her eyes at her husband.
"Isn't this a surprise I wanted to give you?"
Zhou Tian touched his nose and smiled awkwardly.
"It's a surprise, but it's good enough that it's not a shock!"
As the two were talking, Zhou Tian also learned a lot about the family's situation in the past year through his wife. First of all, Sanxiao, Zhou Zhiqiu, Zhou Zhiyi and Zhou Zhinan, all passed the high school entrance examination this year and were admitted to technical secondary schools.
Among them, Zhou Zhiqiu was admitted to the Sijiucheng Mechanical College, and took over Zhou Tian's class. As for Zhou Zhiyi and Zhou Zhinan, one was admitted to the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and the other was admitted to the Railway Technical College.
As for the brothers Zhou Mingming and Zhou Zhiye, they also entered junior high school this year. Given the brothers' grades, Zhou Tian naturally would not worry that they would not be able to get into technical secondary school.
The three children of Zhou Zhibei Primary School are old enough to go to school this year, but the family does not plan to let them follow the path of their older brothers and sisters who skipped grades early, and plans to let them follow the routine.
Zhou Jun and Zhou Min are still the same as before, one in the transport team of the steel rolling mill and the other in the security department of the research institute.
The only difference is that Zhou Jun and Zhou Min have a son and a daughter, Zhou Jun has a son and Zhou Min has a daughter.
Zhou Yu and Zhou Ting are juniors this year and have already started internships with their respective masters. On the contrary, Zhou Hao wrote to say that he had been promoted to company commander this year and that his troops would be replaced and stationed on the border between China and India.
This made Zhou Tian frown. If he remembered correctly, a battle of varying sizes might take place here in June after the Chinese New Year. Suddenly, he felt a little uneasy.
"Wife, did my second brother really say that he would be transferred to the Indian border this year?"
He remembered that his second brother had served in the army in the Southwest Military Region. According to what he knew, the Southwest Military Region would also face a war in the near future, but that was in 1974, which was still a long way from now.
But it's different on the Indian border. This is no joke. Although China's military and industrial power has become much stronger because of his assistance, its overall strength is still a little worse than that of the Bald Eagle and Big Brother.
"Master, what's wrong?"
Shen Yulin immediately noticed that something was wrong with her husband and looked up at Zhou Tian.
"No, it's nothing!"
Zhou Tian shook his head and said with an unchanged expression, but his heart was extremely bitter. He couldn't tell his wife about the danger his second brother would face.
"I hope my second brother is safe!"
He could only pray silently in his heart, but then he thought of the preparations he had made for his second brother Zhou Hao, and he couldn't help but feel relieved. At least compared to ordinary soldiers, his second brother's safety could be somewhat guaranteed.
The more he thought about it, the more nervous he became. Just then, they arrived at Qianmen Street.
Zhou Tian didn't have time to think about it anymore, and pulled his wife and children out of the car.
Just as I walked into the alley and before I reached the door of my house, I heard the children suddenly shouting, "Grandma, grandpa, grandma!" and ran towards the door.
Zhou Tian looked in the direction of the children's cries, and sure enough, he saw grandparents and mother-in-law standing at the door, stamping their feet and looking over here. When they heard the children's cries, the three of them hurried over to greet Zhou Tian and the others.
"Grandpa and grandma, please slow down!"
Zhou Tian was very anxious, and hurriedly walked a few steps to meet them. He supported the two elders and complained: "You two elders don't know how old you are, and it's freezing cold. What if you two elders fall?"
Listening to her grandson's chatter, the grandmother couldn't help but retort, "What's the matter, grandson? Do you dislike us for being old? I'm telling you, I'm not old yet!"
Although the eldest grandson's words were unpleasant to hear, the old man knew what he meant, but he still couldn't help feeling dissatisfied.
"Good! Good! Good! You are not old, you are not old, okay? Let's go home quickly. Try your hands, they are almost frozen!"
After listening to his grandmother's childish words, Zhou Tian immediately gave in.
"Yes, old lady, now that our eldest grandson is back, let's go home first!"
The grandfather, who had been watching the interaction between the old woman and his eldest grandson, couldn't help but give some advice after hearing what his eldest grandson said.
"Just go back, you really don't know how to appreciate a good person, huh!"
As grandma said this, she pulled her hands back from Zhou Tian's hands, turned around and pulled a few great-grandsons, walking towards home angrily.
Watching his grandmother's back, Zhou Tian couldn't help shaking his head. What an old child! It's true that the older people get, the more childish they become.
"Grandpa, Mom, let's go back soon, it's too cold outside!"
Zhou Tian said this and then led his family towards the courtyard.
To be honest, he felt that the weather was cold enough in SX at the beginning of this year, but after returning to Sijiu City, he found that it was undoubtedly colder than the winter in Sijiu City in SX.
After returning to the house, he felt a little warmer with the heater on. He took off his cotton coat and looked at his wife and asked, "Wife, my second brother went to the border. Doesn't the Chen family have any explanation? When does my second brother plan to get married?"
Shen Yulin paused as she was pouring water, shook her head and said, "No, it's not the Chen family's fault. It was Xiaohao himself who didn't want to do it. He said he wanted to wait until after this year!"
"After this year, I think he has grown wings. Every time he asks about it, he always says it's after the Chinese New Year. It's been several years. No, this time I can't let him do whatever I say. Yaning's child is already 23 years old. In a few years, she will be a lot older. If he really doesn't want to, he shouldn't delay her!"
Zhou Tian couldn't help getting angry after listening to what his wife said, and said bluntly.
It's not that he doesn't understand his second brother's thoughts, but no matter what, he has to get married and have children. It's good to want to make achievements, but not getting married is indeed a bit too much.
Moreover, they had already made an agreement with the Chen family that they would get married after graduation, but now, it has been delayed for three years and is still being delayed. This is unacceptable in any way.
"Go talk to him about this, he won't listen to me!"
Shen Yulin was also very angry when she talked about this. After all, the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother. She had written to Zhou Hao several times about this, but her second brother simply didn't listen. She had no choice but to let Zhou Tian take care of it!
"Okay, I get it. I'm going to call their military district today. I don't believe that this kid is really going to fly into the sky!"
Zhou Tian said this and started to put on his clothes.
"Hey, boss, you're leaving again right after you got back?"
Shen Yulin saw her husband's actions and couldn't help but ask.
"I'll be out for a while. I'll call the Southwest Military Region first. Since he can't take annual leave, I'll help him do that!"
Zhou Tian said this, then strode out of the house and walked outside!
