Chapter 236
Zhou Duan believed it now, and his face looked better, but he still hesitated, after all, he didn't want his son to be a military officer, he only wanted his youngest son to be by their husband and wife's side, and to be filial by his side.

Jiang naturally saw what he was thinking, and still persuaded him earnestly: "Uncle Zhou, there are some things I shouldn't have said, but Ah Yi is a good boy, and at such a young age, he already wants to take the martial arts exam as a career." There are so many children with such ambitions in a glorious family, and if my son has such ambitions in the future, I will be happy before it is too late, and it will definitely not hinder his future."

Zhou Duan's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he was about to open his mouth to say something, but Mrs. Jiang changed the topic, "But I can understand your two elders' heart, after all, I am also a mother, who doesn't want their children to be by their side?" , but when the children grow up, they always have to go out and make a living. As parents, we can't keep them by our side like chicks, otherwise when the children grow up in the future, they will inevitably complain about us in their hearts. Why don't Uncle Zhou give it to Ah Yi? A chance, let him try it, no matter whether he can get what he wants in the future, at least you let him try it, if he fails, you let him go home again, and take care of the business at home is the same."

"Yes! Father, mother, let me try it. I really want to find a way out by myself instead of being under your protection all the time." Zhou Muyi was also very excited when he heard Jiang Shi's words. His face was still flushed, and he looked forward to the second elder of the Zhou family and said.

Zhou Duan was silent, and looked at his son with a complicated expression. He was very entangled in his heart. He still wanted to keep his son by his side, but he didn't want to delay his future and make him hate himself in the future. After a long time, he sighed and said : "It's up to you... We are getting old, and we can't always be by your side in the future. If you want to go out, go out, but don't forget, go home often..." After saying these words , His eye sockets were also a little wet.

Qin shi cried even harder, looked at her husband anxiously, and called out anxiously, "Master..."

"There's no need to say anything, I've already decided..." Zhou Duan waved his hand to stop the old wife's words, and turned his head, as if he didn't want his son to see his expression at the moment.

"Father and mother! Don't worry! I will definitely not disappoint your painstaking efforts. I will definitely honor my ancestors and let you live a better life." Zhou Muyi wiped the tears on his face with the back of his hand, and assured the elders.

Zhou Duan just shook his head and said: "Father and mother don't expect much from you, as long as you are safe and sound, and remember that we are still at home waiting for you to come back, that's enough..."

The tears that Zhou Muyi had just wiped away welled up again, this time he didn't say anything bold, but just nodded emphatically.

Seeing that their father and son had finally reached an agreement, Mrs. Jiang breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and said with a smile on her face, "This autumn tiger is really powerful, and he started sweating after a while. I asked the servant girl to bring in a basin of hot water for everyone. Wash your face." Saying this, he went out and told Baozi to fetch water.

After the three members of Zhou's family had washed their faces and their emotions stabilized a lot, Zhou Duan smiled at Li Yan and the two of them with some embarrassment: "Today, I let the two of you watch a joke, but our family affairs have to be made more difficult." You guys help out."

"Where is Uncle Zhou, they are all relatives of his own family. There is no need to see outsiders like this. I think it is getting late. You can go back after lunch." Jiang said with a smile.

"Ah Yi has just come back, and there are still many things at home, so I stopped eating. After a few days, I will invite your family to have a feast at Baiweilou, as a thank you to your husband and wife." Zhou Duan also had a smile on his face. , said.

Li Yan and Li Yan didn't refuse either, they were both relatives, so there was no need to be so polite.Several people chatted some gossip again, Zhou Duan got up and left, and the Li family couple sent them out in person.

Three days later, Zhou Duan held a banquet in Baiweilou, and invited the whole family of the Li family, from Mrs. Li to Brother Kang, all of the Li family went to the banquet together.

Due to the warm hospitality of the Zhou family, this table is naturally a feast for the guests and hosts.Li Meier also learned from the banquet that Zhou Muyi would return to Siming Mountain Taoist Temple tomorrow.

"Did your parents agree with you to go to Guanli to learn martial arts?" Several children gathered together to talk while the adults were drinking and chatting. Li Meier couldn't help asking Zhou Muyi's flushed face.

Zhou Muyi nodded, grinning to the ears, "My father agreed, but he made me go home every month, and after I finish my studies, I have to go down the mountain."

"Life on the mountain is hard, can you bear it?" Li Meier asked worriedly.

"What is there to be afraid of, Zhou Muyi is not afraid of suffering. Sister Meier, wait, when I am good at kung fu, I will go to the martial arts exam and show you." Zhou Muyi patted his chest and said brazenly.

What can Li Meier say, of course it is to bless him, the young man's vigorous self-confidence, it's better not to hit it lightly.

Zhou Muyi boarded the boat back to the state capital on the second day. He didn't let Li Meier and the others send him off, and he didn't want his parents to send him off. He felt that he could take good care of himself when he grew up, but the Qin family couldn't bear it, so he prepared it early in the morning. I packed a big bag and sent my son to the pier. Seeing my son leave by boat, I almost couldn't help crying again.

Holding his old wife in his arms, Zhou Duan comforted him softly: "Don't cry, our son has grown up and is promising. We should be happy for him."

"The children... all left one by one...my heart...is like frying oil, master, what's the use of raising children...sooner or later you will leave your parents." Qin choked, He kept wiping away his tears.

"Hey...the children are grown up and have their own ideas, so naturally they have to go their separate ways. As parents, if we want to drive some, isn't there Ah Jin? He is the boss and will always be by our side. Take care of us in retirement." Zhou Duan patted Qin's back again, and said with a sigh.

Qin wiped away her tears and nodded silently. The old couple supported each other and got into the carriage home.

In mid-October, Li Xin sent another piece of good news from the state capital. The first volume of Journey to the West has sold a full thousand copies. Storytellers are talking about the book "Journey to the West", and the popularity is still rising. Every day, the people who come to Li Xin's bookstore to buy books are almost over the threshold. Fortunately, Jiang and the others printed a lot of books. Now There is still enough stock, but if it continues to be so hot, I am afraid it will be sold out soon.So Jiang also let those people in the printing workshop work overtime to print the book.
