Zhang Guoqing, a 21st-century orphan, and his pregnant wife, Zhou Jiao, were working hard for their future when a massive inheritance suddenly fell into their laps. On their way to the hospital for...
Do you understand?
Zhang Guoqing could naturally take this into consideration.
Even without his second brother's reminder, he would never take the initiative to force the younger generation to run to the capital. Why should he interfere in the fate of others?
Not to mention that the higher-ups have repeatedly issued clear orders stating that no one is allowed to take any backdoors.
Zhang Guoqing pinched the letter and laughed at himself. In his second brother's eyes, he was already a complete fool!
And those children...
Do you really think that the capital is a good place to stay?
He didn't mention this to Zhou Jiao, so as not to annoy his wife and make her frown again.
After burning the letter, Zhang Guoqing returned home.
Yes, when it comes to playing tricks, his second brother is definitely a talent. This time, he directly sent a letter to his own unit using someone else's name!
Zhang Guoqing has complicated feelings about his brother Zhang Laoer.
Do you think he is affectionate?
He seemed worried that his nephews and nieces would bring trouble to him.
Are you saying he is unrighteous?
He seemed very worried about the children's future.
It is such a contradictory person who often leaves Zhang Guoqing speechless.
He refused to be transferred to the provincial capital, preferring to stay with his parents in the county town. Over the years, Zhang Laoer had lived up to his expectations and truly fulfilled his responsibilities as the eldest brother.
Even though Zhang Guoqing was not at home, he knew that it wasn't that no one wanted to make a move, but they were just scared by the second-in-command's constant suppression!
"Dad, you didn't work overtime, did you?"
As soon as Zhang Guoqing stepped into the living room, he saw his youngest son standing there, looking at him expectantly. He shook his head and laughed, "What's up?"
Wuyi rubbed against him, took his arm, and said with a flattering smile: "I heard that there are a group of retired military dogs recently. Hey, can our family adopt them?"
Zhang Guoqing looked at him in surprise. "Why did you think of raising a military dog? Weren't you three brothers worried about the extra expense?"
“Nature has its uses.”
"Ask your mother first. I'll take her advice."
"But my mother seems a little hesitant."
"Your mother is busy tidying up the yard, so she doesn't have the energy to keep a pet. You don't want to keep one in the courtyard, do you? That won't work. She'll have to walk around it every day."
"Dad, if you love your wife, you should also love your son..."
When Zhou Jiao, whom they mentioned, brought out the dishes, she saw her fourteen-year-old son still acting like a little child, hugging his father's arm and acting coquettishly, and she immediately laughed out loud.
"Hurry up and call everyone to eat."
"Mom, promise it."
"We'll talk tonight."
Zhou Jiao smiled meaningfully at her son, and Wuyi was so frightened that he ran away. He was too familiar with this smile, it was definitely a threat, wasn't it?
Zhang Guoqing followed his wife to the kitchen and said with a smile, "My wife is still the most powerful. But, Jiaojiao, we all have our limits. If they really want to raise us, let them raise us. We'll even let them take care of the yard later. If they get bored here, they can go and rest for a few days."
"These are all minor matters. Why do I see that Liuyi and Wuyi have stopped going to the backyard and are just holding books all day? Are they planning to take the college entrance exam with Ping'an?"
“Ask the kids tonight.”
After dinner, without waiting for Zhang Guoqing and Zhou Jiao to go upstairs, Liuyi put down his chopsticks and looked at the elders and mentioned that the three brothers had something to discuss with everyone.
Seeing that everyone started to sign up, Zhou Xiaozheng was waiting for them to confess and be lenient. Hearing this, he wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and took the lead to go to the study.
Everyone took a seat in the study, and Miao Lishan had already made tea. The three brothers looked at each other, and Wuyi raised his hand to let the eldest brother go first.
Ping An twitched his lips. It was unfortunate to be the boss! He had to start first again.
"Dad, you won't change your career, right?"
Zhang Guoqing looked at him deeply, pondering his words, "Are you planning to let me make up my mind first before choosing my career?"
"Not really. Just take it as a reference. I heard the military academy might not enroll students until next year, so I need to consider some of the issues from all angles."
Zhang Guoqing then looked at his two younger sons and asked, "What about you?"
Upon hearing this, Liuyi looked at Zhou Jiao, opened his mouth and then closed it again.
Zhou Jiao laughed angrily, "Why are you looking at me? If you have something to say, just say it. Your grandma is backing you up."
"Mom, I want to wait until next year when the military academy resumes the college entrance examination."
Zhou Jiao wasn't surprised at Liu Yi's idea. If the children didn't understand what the surname Zhou meant before, now they understand the meaning of responsibility.
Taking on the responsibility of the Zhou family, he could no longer afford to be careless!
"What about May Day?"
"Me?" Wuyi was called out, pointed at his nose, and wrinkled it in distress. "Mom, I still have to see what my two brothers decide."
As soon as he said this, not only Zhou Xiaozheng, but even Miao Lishan understood what he meant. The three children must have agreed long ago to keep one of them from joining the army.
Zhou Jiao didn't say anything after hearing this. Feeling Zhang Guoqing's worried look at her, she shook her head and smiled at him. Then the couple looked at Zhou Xiaozheng at the same time.
How to decide? Let’s listen to her father’s opinion!
What did Zhou Xiaozheng say?
He shook his head and laughed, "It's impossible for your father to change his career and start over after he's gotten to this point. You three brothers don't have to consider Grandpa. You can choose whichever path you like."
Ping An looked at his two younger brothers with hesitation.
Liuyi said seriously, "Brother, just follow your dream and don't think too much. You're different from us. It's not too late for us to take the exam next year or the year after."
Ping An narrowed his eyes, "You mean, I'm old?"
Wuyi looked at Liuyi and laughed heartily with glee.
Liuyi glanced at him sideways, stabbing his brother in the back. "It was Wuyi who said you couldn't afford to delay."
"Second brother, you're being so mean! Have you forgotten what you said about Big Brother going to military school and not even having a wife? He'll definitely be a bachelor for the rest of his life?"
"Heh..." Ping An sneered, "I didn't realize you guys were even worrying about my lifelong affairs."
Wuyi waved his hand tactfully, "Don't listen to his nonsense. Who is my eldest brother? The candidates who want to be our eldest sister-in-law can be lined up from Xishan to Tianmen."
Ping An was about to retort when he accidentally caught sight of the elders who were watching the fun with great interest, and he abruptly changed the subject.
"I'd rather follow my dad's path and apply to a local university to become a national defense student."
"Then let's change to someone bigger."
"Why?" Wuyi immediately looked at him with dazed eyes. The three brothers weren't worried about their college entrance exam scores. What was surprising was that his father didn't even suggest applying to his alma mater.
"Why are there so many questions? Your brother doesn't like Huaqing. He didn't even want to stay there for a night. Let's not worry about that for now. What about you? Liuyi is going to apply to the military academy. Are you going with him?"
"Dad, why do you sound so suspicious? Your son is proficient in both literature and martial arts, so let's talk about next year's affairs next year. No matter which university he goes to, I won't go this year. If I accidentally get first place in the exam, how will my eldest brother save face? Don't you agree?"
Zhang Guoqing has given up on saving his son's shamelessness. If he joins the army, he will be a soldier. If possible, he doesn't want this naughty child to go out and cause trouble for others.
"You should go into politics in the future. It would be best for you to argue with those people."
Ping An clapped his hands decisively. "My dad has a sharp eye and can see through Wuyi's true nature at a glance. I think the Women's Federation needs someone like him!"
"Brother, don't be so discouraging."
Liuyi followed up with an advice: "It's okay, you have a thick skin."
After a lot of twists and turns, the three brothers began to love and hate each other, which made the whole family laugh.
