Chapter 764 The Fool in the Novel

Zhou Tian naturally knew what his father-in-law was talking about, and nodded involuntarily.

Thinking about the changes that took place over the next decade or so, he was actually very reluctant to let his son pursue a career in politics. But after thinking about it, he felt that perhaps it was not that scary.

After all, his son is only thirteen years old. Even if he gets a job, he won't be able to embark on a real career in politics for a while.

In addition, with his uncle in charge, perhaps he could transfer his son to his uncle for training. If he could be trained well, it would be a blessing for his son. But on second thought, he felt that this matter might not be that simple.

In everything, one should be prepared for the worst. If something happens to his son, it would be too late to regret. Instead, his eldest son and second daughter chose to join the army, and he somewhat agreed with that, although it was not the best choice.

But it can be considered a good way out at this time. In the previous life, although the storm had a significant impact, I have never heard of it affecting the army.

This might be a way to leave a way out for your family.

"Xiaotian, what do you mean?"

After they each expressed their opinions, they turned their eyes to Zhou Tian at the same time, and grandma and mother-in-law also looked at him.

"I think Zhiqiu and Zhiyi have a good idea. Joining the army is a way out. The country needs all kinds of talents, and the army is the same. If Zhiqiu and Zhiyi, who have only graduated from technical secondary schools, join the army, I think the higher-ups will train them appropriately!"

Zhou Tian said with his eyes a little blurry.

"As for Zhinan's desire to pursue a career in politics, I think now is not the right time. It would be better for him to go to the factory to study for a few years and then consider this matter when he is older!"

He knew that in the future, except for workers, soldiers and farmers, all other industries and professions would face various unspeakable dangers. Since Zhiqiu was unwilling to join the army, then being a worker would naturally be the best choice.

After one night of discussion between Zhou Tian, ​​his grandfather and his father-in-law, the future of Sanxiao was finally decided. Of course, this was also the idea of ​​the three of them. As for what the future would be like, I'm afraid Sanxiao would have his own ideas.

They did this simply because they hoped that they would not take a detour, give San Xiao some advice, and provide some help. The real decision still lies with San Xiao and his three companions.

After their grandparents, father-in-law and mother-in-law left and they finished their meal, Zhou Tian and Shen Yulin lay on the bed, thinking about the future of their children. They were both a little unable to sleep. If it were in their previous life or a dozen years later, they would not have to worry about these things at all.

Or if it was when he was working at the steel mill, he wouldn't have to worry too much, but the problem was that his status became higher and higher over time, which instead became a hidden worry in his heart, because he couldn't guarantee that he could really stay out of it.

"Boss, are Zhiqiu and Zhiyi really going to join the army?"

Shen Yulin lay in Zhou Tian's arms and couldn't help but ask worriedly. Although she was heating up rice in the kitchen just now, she also heard the discussion between her husband and grandfather and father in the house. Naturally, she was very reluctant.

"What's wrong? Isn't it good to be a soldier?"

Looking at his wife, Zhou Tian couldn't help but ask softly.

"It's not that it's bad, it's just too dangerous. Take Xiaohao for example. He can't go home once a year, and he has to go to the battlefield. I really don't want my son and daughter to join the army!"

As Shen Yulin spoke, a hint of deep worry flashed across her beautiful eyes.

"Okay, don't worry. Our country has stabilized now. War won't happen so easily in the future. Besides, our son and daughter are so young. Even if they join the army, I'm afraid they won't be wanted!"

Seeing the look in his wife's eyes, Zhou Tian couldn't help but stretch out his arms and hold Shen Yulin in his arms, saying lightly.

Although he, his grandfather, and his father-in-law had planned that, after all, Zhiyi and Zhiqiu were still too young. He didn't even know whether the two kids would be wanted in the army, or if it was another matter.

"By the way, boss, Zhiming and Zhiye will graduate next year, what are you going to do with them?"

After being comforted by her husband, Shen Yulin's mood eased a little, but she couldn't help but think of her fourth and fifth sons again.

"I plan to let these two go to the factory as well!"

After thinking about it, Zhou Tian decided that after all, having two soldiers in the family was enough, and he didn't want to send all the rest to the army.

"Well, that's fine. You must make arrangements for the children when the time comes!"

When Shen Yulin heard that Xiao Si and Xiao Wu didn't have to go to the army, he couldn't help but relax and said with his eyes closed.

"Do not worry!"

Zhou Tian made a promise. As he had something on his mind, he was in no mood to make any trouble that night, and they both fell asleep early.

The next day, Zhou Tian got up early, woke up the children first, performed a set of Xingyiquan, and then took the opportunity to tell Zhiyi and the other two the decision they had discussed last night while eating.

Originally Zhou Tian thought that after hearing it, the three, especially Zhou Zhiqiu, would be very reluctant. But who would have thought that after hearing it, their expressions were very calm. Except for Zhou Zhiyi and Zhou Zhiqiu who couldn't help but curl up the corners of their mouths, there was not even a trace of reluctance on Zhou Zhiqiu's face.

This meant that Zhou Tian had no chance to say the words he had prepared all night to comfort the little guy.

Perhaps seeing her father's worry, Zhou Zhiyi giggled.

"Dad, you don't think we will go against your decision, do you?"

"Why, isn't it?"

Zhou Tian looked at his daughter and couldn't help but roll his eyes at her and asked back.

Zhou Zhiyi laughed smugly and continued, "Of course not. Although we are young, we are not stupid. We don't think you will harm us. Besides, we are so happy to have you help us make decisions. How can we blame you? The reason why my brother and I are willing to join the army is because we have liked soldiers since we were young, so we came up with this idea!"

"As for my third brother, he is a fence-sitter. He knows that being a soldier is hard, so he won't join the army. The reason why he said he wanted to pursue a career in politics was because being an official is prestigious. Since dad refused, he naturally won't say anything. After all, you and grandpa have walked more roads than we have, so how could we not respect your opinions? In fact, let alone rejecting my third brother's opinions, even if you reject my and my eldest brother's opinions, we have no objection!"

After Zhou Zhiyi finished speaking, Zhou Zhinan and Zhou Zhiqiu nodded embarrassedly, indicating that this was exactly the case. This left Zhou Tian speechless. He had been thinking about how to comfort his son the whole night, but who knew that he was just overthinking.

"Dad, with you at the helm, if we don't make good use of you, how can we act on impulse? We are not the fools in the novels!"

At this time, Zhou Zhiqiu also said something in agreement.
