Chapter 257 A sumptuous dinner

As he spoke, Zhou Tian's tone was filled with an indescribable sadness.

After their parents passed away, he raised his three younger brothers and sisters by himself.

Over the years, the four of them have depended on each other. To be honest, he has always taken good care of these three siblings. Although he dare not say that he is the most competent brother, he has never neglected them in the slightest.

However, just now in the yard, he was surprised to find that he was the last person to know that his second brother had graduated from junior high school.

Unconsciously, he had neglected so much for work. He didn't know when he had become a workaholic that he had despised in his previous life.

Perhaps it was due to the changing times, or perhaps he was infected by the sense of ownership of all people in this era, he not only did not feel the slightest bit of disgust, but was rather intoxicated by it.

In his previous life, he had seen many short videos about this era.

When some elderly people talk about this era, they all speak with deep emotion about the selfless dedication and no regrets of the people of this era. At that time, he was extremely disdainful of this.

After all, his past life experience made him believe that people are selfish. How could they devote their whole lives to a factory? But when he really came to this fiery era, he realized that those were not false.

Even he, who had memories of his past life, could not help but throw himself into the tide of the times and contribute his insignificant strength to the development of the country, but he also neglected his family and his wife and children.

“I don’t know whether it is the times that create miracles, or miracles that create the times!”

Zhou Tian sighed, and suddenly felt his body tense up, and Shen Yulin's self-blaming voice came from behind him.

"Boss, it's all my fault. I was an incompetent sister-in-law and didn't tell you about this in time!"

There was a hint of sob in the pleasant voice.

"Okay, I'm just saying that. Okay, be good and stop crying!"

Zhou Tian took out the nine-turn large intestine from the pot, turned around and hugged Shen Yulin, gently wiped away the tears in her beautiful eyes, and comforted her softly.

"And you've done a good job. Haven't you arranged their clothes and studies in an orderly manner over the past year? I just feel a little uncomfortable because I have neglected too much due to work."

As he spoke, Zhou Tian's eyes couldn't help but become moist.

"Boss, are you a little tired from work? How about we take a break for a while?"

Listening to her husband's words, Shen Yulin felt a pain in her heart and couldn't help but persuade him.

"Tired, yes, very tired. But now the construction of the national industry is at a critical stage, how dare I rest? The country has given me honor, status, and everything. Now is the time for me to give back to the country, how can I rest?"

Zhou Tian said self-deprecatingly.

"There are so many people like me who are fighting on the front lines. For me, being able to go home and see you every day is enough!"

Although he was indeed moved and wanted to spend more time with his family, when he thought about the early days of the country's establishment and the early stages of industrial development, and how many scientists had worked day and night in the southwest to make the country strong as soon as possible, he suppressed his guilt towards his family.

He is selfish, but no matter how selfish he is, he understands one thing, that is, only when the country is strong can his family live a stable life.

Being able to become the director of the August 1st Red Star Machinery Factory in the city of Beijing and being able to go home every day to spend time with his family, compared to those respectable and admirable scientists, he was already very selfish. At the very least, he did not have the courage to apply for a transfer to the southwest.

"Boss, I'm sorry, I'm a burden to you, why don't I resign!"

The more Shen Yulin listened, the more she felt sorry for her husband, and she couldn't help but look up.

"Silly, why do you want to quit? Just be a good doctor. Don't you always want to get a permanent job soon? I'm a man, I can bear it. Okay, we should stop talking. We should go out now. If we don't go out, the food will get cold. Okay, don't think too much, okay?"

When Zhou Tian heard Shen Yulin's words, his heart warmed, but how could he let his wife give up her beloved career for him?

He couldn't help but reach out and rub her head, then turned around and brought the food out with Shen Yulin.

"Brother, you and sister-in-law are finally out. My fourth sister and I can't wait!"

As soon as the food was served, Zhou Yu couldn't help but run over and start shouting.

He and Zhou Ting had already finished the dishes that his sister-in-law had served them. The more they ate, the better they enjoyed it. Now that the meal was finally about to start, his little face was filled with excitement.

"If you want to eat, get it yourself. Go, you and Xiaoting bring out the remaining dishes from the kitchen!"

Zhou Tian looked at Zhou Yu's funny appearance with amusement and spoke.

"Got it, big brother, let's go get it now!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu and Zhou Ting ran towards the kitchen.

After all the food from the kitchen was served, the table full of dishes made father-in-law Shen Jie, mother-in-law Li Yuling, grandparents' eyes twitch. Even Chang Wen and Chang Wu looked at Zhou Tian, ​​and they couldn't help but look at him as a prodigal son.

Stir-fried celery with meat, braised pork, braised fish, nine-turn large intestine, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, chicken stewed with mushrooms, boiled fish, plus a steamer of steamed buns.

It can be said that today's meal is more sumptuous and luxurious than what they usually eat.

"Oh my god, isn't this a bit too extravagant?"

Looking at the food in front of him, even though Shen Jie was a government worker, he couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

Not to mention the taste, just the few dishes in front of him would not be possible to buy without more than ten yuan, and a dozen yuan is enough to pay for nearly one-tenth of his salary.

"Okay, Mom, Dad, Grandma, Chang Wen, Chang Wu, Xiao Hao, Xiao Yu, Xiao Ting, don't just stare, eat! I finally got the chance to cook, if you don't eat, you'll be at a loss! Besides, why waste time? This is just the right time to give you some nourishment! Eat!"

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Zhou Tian naturally understood what they meant. He couldn't help but smile, then picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of braised pork for his grandparents.

"Grandpa and grandma, I have been stewing this braised pork for a long time, please have a try!"

Seeing Zhou Tian pick up his chopsticks, everyone started to scramble for the food.

At the end of the meal, no one spoke a word and all the food on the table was finished.

Everyone sat on the stools while eating, not daring to move, except Zhou Tian, ​​of course, because he knew the dishes he cooked. Although he hadn't cooked for a long time, it had already formed muscle memory.

With the evolution of the virtual space in his mind last time, his body also went through an evolution. So in terms of cooking skills, although there has been no improvement during this period, it depends on who you compare yourself with. Now he dares to say that the food he makes is at least at the state banquet level, not to mention that with the addition of spiritual spring water, the taste of the food is naturally even better.

"Brother, your cooking is so delicious, when will you cook again?"

Zhou Yu rubbed his full belly and asked with a smacking mouth. After he said this, not only Zhou Yu, but even the people who were resting nearby all looked over here with eyes full of anticipation.

"Go away! You little foodie, you've already eaten so much and it's still not enough. Besides, your eldest brother is always busy with work, how can he have time to cook for you?"

Before Zhou Tian could answer, grandma spoke first.
