Chapter 1047 Unpayable Debt



Under the light, Zhang Guoqing smiled at this moment, and his eyes were always closely watching Zhou Jiao's every move.

What is a child?

It’s a debt that can never be repaid!

The reason why he suggested the National People's Congress.

This was the result of his repeated consideration, as he wanted to prevent his eldest son from joining the army.

Then this is the best choice.

Serving the country in the army and in politics is not the same as serving the country.

Combining the information he received with his memories, he came to the conclusion that—

Renmin University is about to reopen. This time, it will recruit students in three majors: philosophy, political economy, and history of the Communist Party of China in Beijing under the name of Beijing Normal University.

However, contrary to the original plan, when the school started, students of these three majors immediately left the Normal University and returned to their original campuses, and then enrollment resumed the following year.

As a result, there will be very few places for national defense students.

As a father, he couldn't bear to let his sons go to war. If possible, he would rather die in their place. If anything happened to one of his children, how would his wife bear the pain?

Zhou Jiao said that she respects her children's ideas and will give them suggestions, but they have to make their own choices in their lives.

There was one thing she didn't say, but he understood.

Parents in this world can never force their children to join the army. No matter how much they force their children, once they really choose to join the army, no one can stop them.

But as her partner, how could he ignore the worry in her eyes, just like Liuyi's answer just now made her clench her fists.

Regardless, that night they understood the children's preliminary plan, and Zhang Guoqing didn't bring it up again. After all, if anything changed under his watch, there was still time to correct it.

However, the five-courtyard quadrangle at the foot of the imperial city has been renovated after the midsummer this year. It is worth a look.

The reason why the family only came now was because his father-in-law was very busy, and even the three children were not idle.

This weekend, Zhou Xiaozheng made up his mind that he didn't want to think about work at all and he had to take his family out to relax.

Last year, the military families who lived there moved back to the family compound one after another. He had considered moving his family back to his own mansion, but plans cannot keep up with changes.

This step forward means losing a lot of freedom.

With the resumption of the college entrance examination, there will inevitably be a large influx of outsiders. Their family lives outside. Not to mention the safety, the fact that he disturbs others every time he travels is a problem.

Especially what his son-in-law said to him, which made him think deeply.

Since this silly kid has already considered that there will be many visitors to his hometown in the future, and is even prepared for endless troubles in the future, I will naturally follow his wishes.

Living there does have its advantages.

Just as this silly kid said, every relative who comes to visit has to register and be checked six times. It is both intimidating and troublesome. I guess no one can stand it!

He didn't mind giving some financial help to the descendants of the Zhang family, but he couldn't do that when it came to the interests of his three grandsons!

He never underestimates anyone, and often it is just a small and insignificant person who is enough to ruin everything.

Besides, why should he promote outsiders and let them enjoy his own resources?

He was very happy that his son-in-law was open-minded. It is better for people to keep a distance from each other.

As he taught his grandchildren, "If you don't want to give the other party an opportunity to exploit, either destroy it directly or stay away."

The courtyard is indeed quite spacious.

In the future, when the children get married and start their own families, it will be no problem for each of them to have their own yard.

Of course, when he first wanted this yard, he didn't have that much space. He just wanted to have a safe place for his little one to run around and play.

Once the gate is opened, there is a wide open space around the screen wall.

——The ground is paved with blue bricks, giving it an antique feel.

A tall, newly transplanted laurel tree stood in the corner, and beneath it lay a clear, octagonal well. A set of rope pulleys hung from the wellhead, and it was said that a feng shui master had been consulted to dig the well.

But in his opinion, it's all a joke!

If it really works, how could it be like his Zhou family, unable to even keep their ancestral property?

Surrounding the courtyard are a row of back houses, three main rooms in the front, and side rooms on the left and right sides.

When we really move in in the future, this entrance will be directly converted into a reception room and study, preventing outsiders from entering the back courtyards at will.

The several courtyards at the back are small but well-arranged, and the large garden behind the house has rockery, pavilions, lotus pond, as well as green bamboo, vegetable garden, and grape trellis.

It's clear at first glance that his Jiaojiao has put a lot of thought into this place. It seems that this silly child has made up his mind when he said that this will be the Zhou family's ancestral home in the future.

Although this vegetable garden was small, it was also elegant and interesting, probably carefully cultivated by the young couple. In the lotus pond not far away, he remembered that there was still running water, gurgling into the underground river.

It was autumn, and the lotus flowers had already withered. Apart from a lush green vegetable patch, there was a long row of grape racks with several bunches of dark purple fruits hanging on them.

The skin is not plump, but when I pinched one and put it in my mouth, I don’t know if it’s because it’s in my own yard, but it tastes pretty good.

If you observe carefully, you can see that Jiaojiao really put a lot of thought into it.

What satisfied him most were the toilets in each courtyard.

He knew that there were many courtyard houses in the city, especially the large ones. It was said that except for the urine buckets used at night, everyone had to go to the public toilet outside during the day. In the morning, they would grab a handful of paper and run out...

It is said that the queue is extremely long, and when summer comes, the smell of the public toilet spreads when a breeze blows, which is so unbearable that it makes people want to die.

Not to mention the sour taste in winter...

This is also the reason why he has been hesitant and unable to make up his mind whether to move back.

Now, those annoying people have stepped down, and his yard has returned to normal. As expected, a little movement can make life much better for everyone.

"Grandpa, I think this place is pretty safe. The area is heavily guarded. I'll raise a few retired military dogs, and we can come and stay here often when we're free."

Zhou Xiaozheng looked at his grandson's surprised eyes, how could he disagree? But he didn't forget to say jokingly, "Are you sure you're not thinking about the military dogs?"

"I can't hide it from my most wise grandfather. But I really like this place. It's big enough and I can run around wherever I want."

Zhou Xiaozheng laughed happily when he heard this. Hadn't he had the same idea in the beginning?

After seeing this, no matter how good this place is, there is nothing here...

"Dad, let's go back with grandpa first. You accompany my mom to go shopping and buy her some gifts. Uncle Dayi bought a gold necklace for my aunt."

Ping An's words made Zhou Xiaozheng and Miao Lishan look at their son-in-law in a teasing manner. In fact, they knew that Jiaojiao didn't like these little things at all.

Not to mention that from a very early on, all of the son-in-law's salary, except for the part that was reimbursed to him in cash, was given to his own daughter Jiaojiao for safekeeping.

Even this part was what the silly boy wanted to give to Jiaojiao at first, but it was his own daughter who said that men should keep some money on them to avoid embarrassing themselves at critical moments.
