Chapter 763 Children's Choice
"You don't need to worry about this, I'm just asking if you can?"
Zhou Tian did not answer Chang Weijun's question, but asked casually.
"If we continue at this pace, it should be possible!"
Although Chang Weijun didn't know why the dean asked this, he thought about it and gave an accurate answer.
"That's fine. Okay, I'll take you back first. You can go through the formalities tomorrow. I'll talk to the dean and transfer your relationship directly!"
While the two were talking, they had already left the research institute and arrived at the institute compound. They opened the car door, Chang Weijun got in the car, Zhou Tian sat in the driving seat, started the car, and drove towards Sijiu City.
Ten minutes later, after dropping Chang Weijun off at the gate of the Red Star Research Institute, he drove back home.
When he got home and walked into the third courtyard, he heard the voices of children coming from the house. He dusted himself off and walked into the house, where he saw Shen Yulin, his father-in-law, his mother-in-law, his grandparents and the whole family gathered together.
Among them, Zhou Zhiqiu, Zhou Zhiyi and Zhou Zhinan were also sitting there quietly. As for the other five children, except for the three youngest ones, the other two were looking at their father-in-law and grandfather with serious eyes.
"Hey, what's going on? Why are you all here today? Zhiqiu, Zhiyi, Zhinan, why don't you go back to your rooms?"
Zhou Tian looked at this scene and couldn't help but walked in and asked with a smile.
"Boss, you're back. Are you hungry? I'll go heat up some food for you!"
Seeing Zhou Tian, Shen Yulin stood up first, took her husband's coat, hung it on the wall, and said.
"I wouldn't have felt it if you hadn't said it, but now that you've said it, my stomach is growling with hunger."
Zhou Tian said it without any hesitation.
"Virtue, that's enough, you sit with your grandparents, parents and others for a while, I'll go heat up your meal for you!"
After Shen Yulin finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the kitchen.
"Xiaotian, please sit down first, we have something to ask you!"
At this time, his father-in-law Shen Jie looked over with a serious expression, which made Zhou Tian confused for a moment. He didn't know why the whole family was so serious now. Did something happen?
But after thinking about it, he still pulled a chair over and sat down, looked at his father-in-law and grandfather and asked, "What's wrong? Did something happen?"
"Grandson, are you confused at work? Zhiqiu and the others have already graduated this year. Shouldn't you make some arrangements for them in advance?"
At this time, the grandmother couldn't help but roll her eyes at her eldest grandson. She didn't know how her eldest grandson was a father and he didn't even know that his own child had graduated from junior college.
"Graduated what?"
After hearing what his grandmother said, Zhou Tian looked at his three children. However, when he saw that they still looked so childish, he couldn't help feeling ashamed.
It turned out that all three children had graduated from technical secondary school without him noticing. They had all grown up. Yes, he then remembered that although the three children were not very old, only thirteen years old, according to the technical secondary school curriculum, they had indeed graduated.
Thinking of this, he looked at the three children.
"Zhiqiu, Zhiyi, Zhinan, do you three have any ideas?"
He knew that if he did not intervene, his three children would also be assigned jobs by the state, but the quality of these jobs was uncertain. You know, although technical secondary school students are now included in the cadre system upon graduation, in the final analysis, this is only an administrative level and does not represent the quality of the job.
He is not a pedantic person. If his child was assigned to a factory and became a technician, it would be fine. But if he became a buyer, it would be a waste of talent.
Others may not know their own children's abilities, but how could he not know?
"Dad, I want to join the army!"
Hearing his father's question, Zhou Zhiqiu spoke first.
"Soldier?"
Zhou Tian frowned slightly. You know, with the stability in the country now, joining the army is no longer a dangerous thing. But at the same time, it is no longer an easy thing to get promoted in the army in a short period of time.
As for his eldest son, he knew that the boy had always dreamed of joining the army, but he didn't expect that after so many years, he still hadn't given up.
After thinking about it, he didn't say no and looked at his daughter Zhiyi and third son Zhou Zhiqiu.
"Where are you two?"
"Dad, I want to be a soldier too!"
"Dad, I want to go into politics!"
When Zhou Zhiyi and Zhou Zhiqiu expressed their wishes one after another, Zhou Tian frowned even more tightly. His daughter also wanted to join the army, which was not unexpected to him, but his third son wanted to go into politics, which was indeed something he did not expect.
After all, he still remembered that his three children all wanted to join the army because their second brother was in the army, but now the third son, Zhou Zhiqiu, has obviously changed his mind.
"Okay, Dad, I get it. Let me discuss this with your master and great grandfather first. You all go back to sleep first. Go!"
After Zhou Tian sent all eight children away, he took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed one to his grandfather and father-in-law respectively. Then he lit the cigarette and took a long puff.
"Grandpa, Dad, what do you think?"
After all, this matter concerns the future of the children, and he also needs to discuss it with his family. As the saying goes, two people plan for the short term, three people plan for the long term, and when three people discuss, they can always come up with a correct opinion.
In fact, he had his own thoughts in mind, but the problem was that this was not something he could decide alone, and he still wanted to hear the opinions of the two old men.
"Grandson, you know that grandpa is just a farmer. I don't understand the future of my children, but I only know that no matter when, the development of a family requires connections and talents. Although grandpa doesn't support Zhiyi's ideas, he doesn't oppose them either!"
Grandpa smoked a cigarette for a long time before he spoke. The old man had experienced a lot, so he naturally knew some things. No matter which dynasty, if a family wanted to develop, it needed connections and talents. As long as it had these two things, the old man didn't care about anything else.
Moreover, his eldest grandson is obviously better than himself, and he does not want to displease his eldest grandson, especially when it concerns the future of his grandson's children.
"Xiaotian, I support the idea of having three children, but I think Zhinan's idea is a little dangerous!"
After grandpa finished speaking, father-in-law Shen Jie also expressed his own opinion. After all, he works in the government, so he naturally has a clearer view of the current wind direction.
Especially with the changes in many policy directions, even an old politician like him could not guarantee that he could get away with it unscathed, and he did not want to let his grandson enter this ocean of chaos.
