Yan Aohan showed no sign of impatience. He simply nodded and said, "If Doumiao wants to be a scientist, that is perfectly fine. He could absolutely become an elite in that field."
"Is it really like that? As long as my Doumiao is willing, she can become a scientist?" Xie Xinlian looked overjoyed. She no longer opposed Zhu Zhibin’s trip to the capital.
"Yes." Yan Aohan nodded. "If Doumiao wants to be a scientist, with his intelligence, it would be easy for him. However, his future won’t be limited to just being a scientist. Perhaps he won’t want to be one." Yan Aohan knew that Zhu Zhibin was very sensitive to economic figures.
"It doesn’t matter what he does, as long as he becomes a useful person in the future," Zhu Shunyao said with a broad-minded attitude.
Yan Aohan nodded with a smile. "Uncle Shunyao is right. What one does is not important; what matters is being a useful person." Yan Aohan agreed with Zhu Shunyao’s viewpoint.
"Then go to the capital," Xie Xinlian finally agreed. "It is the capital city, after all. The learning environment there is certainly better than here." Xie Xinlian was not unreasonable. She knew Zhu Zhibin had this opportunity for two reasons: first, she was indeed very smart; second, Yan Aohan was helping her. Over the years, Xie Xinlian had dealt with many people. She knew that although Yan Aohan never revealed her background, her situation and daily behavior showed she was no ordinary person. So, Xie Xinlian finally softened her stance. The opportunity was rare, and most importantly, it was for Zhu Zhibin’s future.
Yan Aohan nodded with a smile, his tone as warm as ever. "Since Uncle Shunyao and Auntie agree, I will have someone handle the arrangements. When school starts in the second half of the year, Doumiao will go directly to the capital."
"Go, go," Zhu Shunyao waved his hand. He looked carefree, but if one ignored the hidden reluctance in his eyes, he added, "But once you are in the capital, Little Yan, please look after him for us." As parents, all they could do was make the best arrangements for their children.
"Rest assured. That is certain," Yan Aohan said with a light laugh. Even if not for Zhu Shunyao and her family, she would take good care of Zhu Zhibin for her own sake. Otherwise, Zhu Yanyi would hold her accountable.
Zhu Zhibin did not know that during just one meal, his future had been decided. By September, when school started, he would go to the capital. But at this moment, he was busy fighting with Hans for the braised pork.
After dinner, Yang Chuang arranged for them to visit the playground to watch the training of the soldiers in the new recruit camp. As they watched, he explained, "This is the new recruit camp, so the exercises they are doing now are the most basic."
A child asked, "Instructor, can we become soldiers when we grow up?"
Yang Chuang laughed heartily. "If you have the heart, you can certainly become soldiers. But first, you must exercise well. Without a good body, you cannot be a qualified soldier."
"Yes, yes. We will definitely exercise well," everyone nodded.
In this era, soldiers were seen as noble figures by everyone. So, they all wanted to become soldiers, especially the children, who loved that shade of green. At this moment, even Zhu Zhibin, who always had high intelligence, looked on with longing. "Sister, what do you think? Should I join the army and become a soldier in the future?"
