Chapter 358 What her two brothers can do, she can do too
January 64, 2 was New Year’s Eve.
Looking at the seat where Zhou Qingping originally sat, which was now empty, Zhou Rong felt an indescribable melancholy.
But during the New Year, she didn't want to make her family sad with her, so she didn't show her emotions.
During the meal, Zhou's father couldn't help but mutter, "I don't know how Da Wa is doing in Kyoto. This is his first time away from home for the New Year. I heard that people in Kyoto only eat noodles. Da Wa probably can't get used to it. We should send him more rice and cured fish and meat."
Zhou's mother didn't want Zhou Rong to worry too much about Zhou Qingping, so she comforted him, "We sent a lot of preserved food to Qingping before the New Year. If he receives it, he will definitely have enough food for the New Year. Besides, they are a big company, they will definitely prepare New Year's dinner, so we don't have to worry."
Zhou Rong: "There is no shortage of food in their unit, it's just that they are too busy and often forget to eat. I have written to remind him.
Let’s not talk about him anymore, let’s eat quickly, otherwise the food will get cold.”
Seeing that Zhou Rong was in a bad mood, everyone stopped talking about Zhou Qingping...
In July 64, Zhou Qing'an graduated from high school. At Zhou Rong's suggestion, he applied for a military engineering college in the north.
Zhou Qing'an had a clean family background and was in good health. There were no problems with his political review and physical examination, and he received an admission letter in August.
Like Nini, Zhou Qinghong skipped a grade in junior high school and graduated in July. He followed Zhou Rong's advice and applied for a technical secondary school. He was admitted with the lowest score, but at least he received an admission letter, which was a great fortune.
Nini wanted to prove that she could do what her two brothers could do, so she insisted on going to college.
Zhou Rong just let her do what she wanted.
Perhaps in this life, people have to take detours, endure hardships, hit walls, and fall into traps.
If you don't experience it yourself, you won't understand the good intentions of your parents and relatives, and you won't be able to truly grow up...
The family had another college student and another technical secondary school student. Zhou's father happily set up several tables in the restaurant to entertain relatives and friends.
Jiang Linhai pulled Zhou Qingan aside and whispered, "The principal of the military academy you are attending, Lu Jianping, is my comrade-in-arms. I wrote him a letter two days ago and told him about your going to school.
When you get to school, behave well, and if you get into trouble, go to him and he will help you deal with it."
Zhou Qingan: "Thank you, Grandpa Jiang!"
Jiang Linhai: "You're welcome. You young people are the hope of your family and the future of our country. I have high hopes for you."
Five-year-old Jiang Jiacheng was very naughty. Jiang Yiming and Jiang Linhai were busy with work, and Zhou Cai and Tian Huizhen could not control him. They had to apologize to other family members in the military compound almost every day.
Tian Huizhen was worried that there was a "rebellious child" in their family, so she asked Zhou Rong for advice on how to discipline children.
Zhou Rong smiled and said, "Every family's situation is different. I can only discipline my own children in my own way. It's hard to say whether it will work for other children."
Tian Huizhen: "You are a college student yourself, and your children are all outstanding. Your educational method can't be wrong. Talk to me and I will experiment and see if it works."
Zhou Rong looked at Jiang Jiacheng who deliberately made Jiang Jiaxin cry, and said: "I have only one principle in disciplining my children. I only give suggestions on small matters and don't take care of them. I only guide them on big matters and don't interfere. I let them live the life they like.
But some children are born rebellious and unruly, so my "gentle" way of discipline probably won't work. When it's time to use a belt, I still have to beat them hard."
Tian Huizhen: “…”
Seeing that Jiang Jiaxin, who had just been coaxed, was made to cry again by Jiang Jiacheng, Zhou Cai took a long breath and said tiredly: "When your father comes back, I will send you to the army to live for a while."
Jiang Linhai took Jiang Jiacheng to the army several times, mainly to watch the soldiers' martial arts competitions.
Jiang Jiacheng recalled the scene of everyone waving flags and cheering, and felt that the atmosphere in the army was very joyful. He made a face and said with a smile: "The army is much more interesting than home. When will you send me there? I want to go there quickly."
Zhou Cai: "Your father wrote back, saying that he will be back early next month. You are not allowed to cry when you go to the army."
Jiang Jiacheng: "I am a man, I won't cry!"
Zhou Cai: "Hand in hand! If you cry, you will never bully your brother again, and you are not allowed to cause trouble everywhere."
Jiang Jiacheng: "Let's make a pinky promise. I'm not afraid! If I don't cry, you have to buy me some candy. I want to eat it for a month straight, and you have to return the slingshot that was confiscated last time!"
Zhou Cai: “…Okay.”
Jiang Jiacheng was thrown into the army for crazy training. If he didn't obey, he would be punished by standing and having his palms slapped. He felt so wronged that his voice became hoarse from crying. No one saved him, and his father even took photos of him as evidence.
He realized how deep the adults' tricks were...
It was the busy farming season in the countryside, and Zhou Chuanguo and his family had no time to go into the city. After Zhou's father finished the banquet in the city, he took Zhou Qing'an and Zhou Qinghong back to their hometown to worship their ancestors and visit their relatives.
Zhou Rong was busy with work and did not return to Zhoujiawan with his father.
Nini, Zhou Xiao and others did not return to their hometown for "experience" this time. Their days in Zhoujiawan were too comfortable and could not achieve the effect Zhou Rong wanted. Anyway, the school organized students to go to suburban farms to work every once in a while, and the training there was the same.
Zheng Lan gave birth to a son for Zhou Chuanan last year, who is now one and a half years old.
Zhou Chuanan didn't expect that at his age, he could still have his own children. He is happy every day, in a good mood, and looks younger.
Zhou's father brought some gifts for his brothers. Seeing Zhou Chuanan looking radiant, he was very happy for him.
Zhou Chuan'an wanted to take his father to his house for a drink: "I went to the fields this morning and caught some eels and loaches. Xiaolan is a good cook and the food she cooked is delicious. Let's go to my house for a few drinks and call my eldest brother and second brother to come with us."
Father Zhou: "I just went to my eldest brother's house. He left some food for me. My eldest sister-in-law is cooking it right now. He also asked me to call your family over for dinner."
Zhou Chuan'an: "That's fine, I'll ask Xiaolan to help, and bring all the eels and loaches from home over."
Father Zhou: "Okay."
During the meal, Zhou Chuantai praised Jiangcheng's water for nourishing people, saying that all children who went to study in the city could be admitted to university.
Zhou Chuanguo said: "The soil and water nourish people, but it is also because the third son knows how to discipline his children that all his descendants are outstanding."
Father Zhou: "I dare not claim this credit. I only know how to drink, chat and kill pigs. I get a headache when I see the things in the books. If I were to discipline the children, they probably wouldn't even be able to graduate from elementary school.
The children’s achievements today are all thanks to my Yuying and Darong. Tomorrow morning when I burn incense to our ancestors, I will talk about their contributions and ask the ancestors to bless them to be safe and healthy.”
Zhou Chuanguo: "I want to tell our ancestors that our family has produced two great heroes."
The next morning, Zhou Chuanjing opened the ancestral hall to worship his ancestors. When the villagers learned that Zhou Rong's youngest son had also been admitted to university, and even to a military school, they were all envious.
When offering sacrifices to their ancestors, they all make wishes to them, hoping that they will bless their children to get into college...
