Chapter 812 Family Sadness
"Mom, look, Dad hit me again!"
After being slapped by his father, Zhou Zhiqiu pretended to be wronged and complained to his mother.
"Okay, stop playing tricks, Zhiqiu. As the eldest of the family, I have always been very relieved about you. As for the girl Zhiyi, I am actually very worried about her. Since you are in the same military camp in the future, you should visit your sister more often. Also, if you can, take care of her more!"
Zhou Tian looked at his eldest son, laughed first, and then began to give him instructions.
He was very clear about his eldest son's personality. He was a little precocious, calm and steady. Perhaps it was because of the spiritual spring water, Zhou Zhiqiu and the other two little guys always had their own plans for their goals.
However, he was very worried about his daughter Zhou Zhiyi. Although she appeared to be strong on weekdays, it was actually because her younger brothers and older brothers gave in to her. If she were to join the army, she would easily suffer losses with this kind of personality.
Although he did not object to his two children joining the army, after all, a mother worries about her children when they are far away. As a father of two children, how could he not be worried too? However, out of self-esteem, he naturally could not show such emotions to others.
"Got it, Dad, you and Mom can rest assured, I will definitely take care of Zhiyi!"
Zhou Zhiqiu listened to his father's words and nodded heavily to assure him.
"Tsk, Dad, we don't know who will take care of whom then. I'm much better than your big brother, right?"
When Zhou Zhiyi heard what the two said, he suddenly became unhappy. He clenched his fists and began to refute.
In response to his daughter's rebuttal, Zhou Tian and Zhou Zhiqiu just smiled at each other and ignored her.
Just then, the assembly whistle began to sound at the station.
"Mom and Dad, please go back. We need to gather. We will write to you when we arrive!"
"Okay, then slow down. If there's anything wrong, call dad. You know his phone number. Don't make us worry!"
Zhou Tian looked at the two little guys running towards the gathering place, and couldn't help but shout loudly to them.
"understood!"
As the voices of the two little guys came, he couldn't help but sigh, and looked at the assembled team with eyes full of sadness. At this moment, he didn't know whether it was right or wrong for him to let the two children go to the army.
However, when he saw that many children in the team had wild and excited eyes, he felt relieved.
"Master, the children are finally leaving?"
Seeing that the two children were already queuing up to get on the bus according to the number of people, Shen Yulin finally couldn't hold back her tears. She buried her head in her husband's arms and burst into tears.
"Okay, wife, this is the children's dream. As their parents, we should be happy, right?"
Zhou Tian felt a little uncomfortable and patted her on the back with a low voice.
As the children who were going to join the army boarded the train, countless parents at the station who were seeing them off looked at the train carrying their children's dreams with reluctance, especially the female comrades, who were all in tears.
The continuous crying sounds at the station made people unable to help but immerse themselves in the sadness of parting.
"Woo-woo-woo, bang-bang, bang-bang!"
As the train whistle sounded, countless parents stood at the station and watched the high-speed train go farther and farther away, gradually disappearing at the end of the track.
On the way back, Shen Yulin remained silent, but tears kept dripping from her beautiful eyes, and her sobbing made him feel heartbroken.
"Wife, both children are gone, but we still have Zhiming, Xiaobei and the others. Don't be sad. It would be bad if you cry yourself sick. Be obedient!"
Zhou Tian was driving, looking at his wife's slightly pale face in the rearview mirror, and said comfortingly.
"Of course you're not sad. I carried the child for ten months and gave birth to him. How can I not feel sad?"
Shen Yulin listened to her husband's words and couldn't help but raise her head and cried.
As soon as these words were spoken, Zhou Tian was speechless. He didn't know who was the first to invent this kind of words. This made him think of what the feminists said when they were boxing in his previous life.
I couldn't help feeling a little depressed.
After returning home, Zhou Tian did not go to the suburbs of Changping. After all, today he was sending his son to the army. If he really ignored it, then his future life could be imagined. At the same time, he would not be so stupid.
When I entered the house, I saw my grandparents and my parents-in-law sitting at home waiting for me.
Seeing the two people coming in, grandma and grandpa stood up first and looked at them: "Grandson, are Zhiqiu and Zhiyi really gone?"
"gone!"
Zhou Tian heard what the two elders said and nodded.
"Hey, grandson, why are you doing this? It's not like our family can't afford to raise two children, and they're both already working. Can't we just let them go?"
Grandma looked at her granddaughter-in-law Shen Yulin, whose beautiful eyes were red and swollen from crying, and couldn't help but complain.
In fact, she did not approve of her two great-grandsons Zhou Zhiqiu and Zhou Zhiyi joining the army, but as their great-grandmother, she also knew that, to put it bluntly, it was not something she could decide.
She has mentioned it to her eldest grandson several times, but he has always insisted. Faced with this situation, no matter how reluctant she is, she can only let him decide for himself.
"Grandma, this is the choice of the two children. I won't let them become deserters. Besides, you know that the two little guys have very righteous ideas on weekdays. I don't think I can persuade them!"
Zhou Tian naturally felt the resentment in his grandmother's words, but even though he knew it, he didn't think he had done anything wrong.
Life itself requires experiencing some hardships. He does not want his children to become ordinary people in the future. If his children really do not strive for progress, then what is the point of his own struggle.
How could he be willing to give up after paying so much?
Especially the various injustices he had seen on the Internet in his previous life, he did not want them to happen to his own children. At least, when facing such injustice, they would have more confidence. This was why he did not want them to experience mediocrity.
"Okay, old lady, now that the children have left, you should stop causing trouble for your grandson. Let's go back first!"
At this time, grandpa patted his pipe and interrupted.
Obviously, as a man, the grandfather naturally understood his eldest grandson's thoughts, and he took the grandmother away and walked towards the east wing.
After grandpa and grandma left, when mother-in-law Li Yuling wanted to say something, she was pulled away by father-in-law Shen Jie. After all, he had already seen that his daughter and son-in-law were already feeling very uncomfortable, and he naturally didn't want to make things worse for them!
