Siheyuan Great Craftsmen

"How is that possible? Those drawings I made were all mechanical drawings from the factory!"

Zhou Tian looked at his second brother's serious face and suddenly laughed.

"Okay, second brother, I know you care about me, but the facts are the facts. Don't let your imagination run wild. Just go to bed, dear!"

As he said that, Zhou Tian couldn't help but reach out and rub his second brother's head, which made his second brother roll his eyes.

"Brother, is it really as you said? But today..."

Seeing that his second brother wanted to get to the bottom of the matter, Zhou Tian quickly stood up, pulled his second brother up, and said, "Okay, don't worry about your brother's affairs. You should go to bed. You have to get up early to go to school tomorrow!"

Having said that, he drove his second brother upstairs without further ado.

The smile on his face slowly disappeared only after he watched his second brother disappear down the stairs.

I don’t know when, my second brother Zhou Hao has started to grow up. The little brat back then has now developed such a keen intuition.

"Hey, I've finally grown up!"

Zhou Tian sighed, not knowing whether he felt lonely or desolate. Thinking that perhaps in the near future, his second brother Zhou Hao would start his own life, he couldn't describe his feelings at the moment.

He returned to the house with mixed feelings, sat on the chair and began to daydream. He couldn't help but take out a cigarette, took out a cigarette, lit it, and started smoking.

In the smoke, he couldn't help but think of his father holding his hand before he died and said, "Xiaotian, Dad knows that he doesn't have much time left. From now on, the family depends on you. Your second brother, third brother and little sister are still young. Dad also knows that it will be difficult for you to leave them to you, but after all, as the eldest brother, you must take good care of them. Dad is counting on you!"

He still remembers the panic and helplessness in the eyes of his younger brothers and sisters behind him.

But now, they are finally growing up, and for some reason, he feels sad and lost.

"Dad, do you know? Xiaohao and Xiaoyu have grown up. I wonder if you are doing well underground?"

He muttered to himself while smoking a cigarette.

After a long time, after finishing a cigarette, Zhou Tian came back to his senses and found that tears had been streaming down his eyes. He wiped the tears from his eyes with his hands.

"What's wrong with me? My brothers and sisters have grown up, I should be smiling, why am I crying?"

He shook his head, regained his composure, put out the cigarette, then took out the unfinished drawing of the boring machine and continued drawing it, as if only continuous work could make him feel better.

In the blink of an eye, a night passed.

The next day, Zhou Tian got up early as usual as if nothing had happened. After practicing Xingyiquan in the yard for a while, he sent his second brother and others to school and then started to clean up the house.

There weren't many things at home, especially since he didn't plan to bring the furniture with him. There were only a few sets of clothes for his second brother and his friends, and he didn't plan to use the rest.

There were only three packages in total. After putting all the packages into the space, Zhou Tian locked the door and pushed his bicycle outside.

Looking at the courtyard in front of him, to be honest, if he was not really unsuited to stay here, he would be reluctant to leave. It’s not that he couldn’t bear to leave these neighbors, but he couldn’t bear to leave the memories of the past here.

"Xiaotian, go out again!"

Pushing the cart slowly, he came to the central courtyard. He Daqing was hanging clothes out to dry. When he saw Zhou Tian pushing the cart, he greeted him.

"Well, Uncle He, are you hanging clothes?"

Zhou Tian nodded and asked.

"Yes! Look, your aunt washed all the clothes in the house this morning. If you don't hang them up quickly, there will be nothing to change into in the afternoon!"

As He Daqing spoke, a happy smile appeared on his face from time to time.

Zhou Tian was stunned when he heard this. Was he being shown affection by Uncle He? I wonder if Uncle He would still be so happy if he knew what happened to his wife.

However, even though he thought so in his heart, since he was already ready to leave, he didn't want to go through any more trouble. What's more, who knew whether Uncle He would not only not thank him, but blame him instead.

In fact, letting Uncle He live like this for the rest of his life might be a good thing.

Thinking of this, Zhou Tian decided not to tell Uncle He about Aunt He.

"Uncle He, you are busy, I will leave first!"

As he spoke, Zhou Tian pushed his bicycle out of the central courtyard, left the quadrangle, and headed towards Mianhua Hutong.

When he arrived at the second courtyard of his home, he saw Yangshi Lei squatting at the door of the courtyard smoking a pipe. When he saw Zhou Tian, ​​he quickly stood up, put out the pipe in his hand, and came forward to greet him.

"Boss, the house has been completely repaired. Here are the keys!"

As he said that, he handed the key in his hand to Zhou Tian.

"Well, thank you, Master Lei, I will pay you right away!"

Zhou Tian took the key, reached out from his arms, took out a stack of RMB, counted it, and handed it to Yangshi Lei according to the agreed amount.

"Thank you, boss. The amount is just right. I'll leave now! If there is such a job in the future, you must find me!"

Yangshi Lei counted them, put them in his pocket and said with a smile.

"Okay, if I need to renovate the house again in the future, I will definitely look for you!"

Zhou Tian also spoke politely.

After watching Yangshi Lei leave, Zhou Tian walked forward, opened the door with the key, and carried the car in!

After entering the courtyard, Zhou Tian felt more and more satisfied. The spacious yard, the clean floor, and the lush trees and flowers on both sides made the entire courtyard full of vitality.

After checking each room again, he began to put his brothers and sisters' clothes into their respective rooms.

The entire courtyard has a total of 18 rooms, among which the principal house is built in the layout of three main rooms and four side rooms, with three rooms in the east and west wing rooms each, and five rooms in the back house.

Since the yard itself covers a large area, about 22 meters wide and 30 meters deep, except for the main room which is nearly square meters, the other rooms are about square meters.

In order to make the house more spacious, Zhou Tian even connected all the rooms. The main house became 75 square meters, and the east and west wing rooms became about 60 square meters.

As for the back house, Zhou Tian also connected three of them and made a partition in the main house and the east and west wing rooms. In this way, there seemed to be more rooms.

However, Zhou Tian didn't care about this. If he was an ordinary worker before, he might have some concerns, but now with the protection of the country, he basically doesn't care about these things.

Zhou Tian had asked Yangshi Lei to clean up the house yesterday, so it didn't look dirty. Now every room is clean and bright.

All the furniture is available, and now all that’s left is to buy some daily necessities and then you can move in with your luggage.

After putting away his younger brother and sister's things, Zhou Tian used the power of space to store the remaining wood that he had asked Yangshi Lei to make furniture for him. He made four bookshelves and desks and placed them in his younger brother and sister's room and his own room, then turned and left the courtyard.

It’s getting late now, and it’s time to pick up my grandparents and my uncle and aunt.

Zhou Tian rode his bike all the way to the guesthouse. After meeting up with his grandparents, his second uncle and his second aunt, he hired three tricycles. Then the whole family, led by Zhou Tian, ​​came to the second courtyard.

As soon as my grandparents and my second uncle and aunt's family got out of the car, they were stunned by the courtyard house in front of them. They looked at it for a long time without coming back to their senses.

"Xiaotian, is this your home now?"

After all, my second uncle had been to a courtyard house, so he quickly reacted and asked.
