Siheyuan Great Craftsmen

"Oh!"

When Zhou Yu heard this, a hint of disappointment flashed across his eyes.

The rest of the people also looked away because of grandma's words, with a little embarrassment on their faces. It's no wonder they reacted like this, it was really that Zhou Tian's food was too delicious.

"It's okay, I'll make it for you when I have time." Zhou Tian did not refute his grandmother's words, but comforted everyone. After all, even he himself didn't know when he would have time next.

After a while, everyone felt that they had digested some of the food, so they stood up and started to get busy.

While his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were cleaning up the dishes, Zhou Tian held his daughter in his arms and coaxed her happily. Compared to his two sons, perhaps influenced by his past life, he loved his daughter more.

"Grandson, are you busy next?"

While Zhou Tian was coaxing his daughter, grandma suddenly asked.

"I'm fine, grandma, is there anything wrong?" Zhou Tian responded after hearing his grandma's question.

"In a few days, it will be the anniversary of your father and mother's death. I was thinking, should we go and pay our respects to your parents?"

As grandma spoke, a trace of sadness flashed across her wrinkled face.

"Okay, Grandma, I'll go."

When Zhou Tian heard this, a trace of nostalgia appeared on his originally happy face. Yes, before he knew it, the anniversary of his parents' death was approaching.

In the blink of an eye, several years have passed, and he still clearly remembers what his father and mother looked like. Now that he has grown up and has his own family and children, it is time to go visit them.

Let them see their daughter-in-law, their grandson, and also see how their son has grown over the years and the changes in their younger brothers and sisters.

October 1952, 9.

As the National Day is approaching, the whole city is bustling with activity. Many factories start to close on this day, and the Bayi Red Star Machinery Factory is no exception.

As early as December 1949, 12, the State Council promulgated the "National Holiday and Memorial Day Holiday Regulations", which stipulated that the country would have two days off during National Day, and the specific days could be adjusted by the factories themselves.

That day, Zhou Tian had just arranged for the workers to take holidays when he heard the phone ringing in the office.

"Is it Xiaotian?"

The familiar voice of Mr. Tang came from the phone.

"It's me, Mr. Tang. Do you have any instructions?"

Zhou Tian asked quickly.

"My dear, it's like this. Isn't National Day coming soon? The higher-ups want to invite some outstanding representatives from all walks of life to participate in the National Day, so our Mechanical Department plans to recommend you! I want to ask for your opinion."

"Participate in the National Day?"

Zhou Tian was a little confused by what Mr. Tang said.

"Mr. Tang, you mean to attend the National Day?"

"Yes, it's to participate in the National Day. You know, this is an extremely rare opportunity. What do you think? Xiaotian, do you want to go?"

There was a hint of temptation in Mr. Tang's voice.

"Tang Lao, no, am I suitable to go? There are so many seniors here, I don't think I am qualified at all!"

As he spoke, Zhou Tian's expression became slightly excited.

"If I say you are qualified, then you are qualified. You have brought a lot of honor to our Mechanical Department this year, so after discussion, we have decided to give you this position. Now it depends on your opinion."

After hearing what Elder Tang said, Zhou Tian suddenly fell silent, and his expression gradually returned to calm.

To be honest, from his heart, it would be a lie to say that he didn't want to participate.

But he also knew that if he participated, it might be unfair to some scientific researchers who worked silently on the front line. Whether in terms of qualifications or dedication, he did not think he was better than them. For a while, he was a little hesitant.

"Xiaotian, are you still listening?"

Mr. Tang’s voice suddenly woke him up from his previous thoughts.

"Yes, Mr. Tang, I'm still listening!"

Zhou Tian's expression straightened as he spoke, and he made a decision in secret. He said, "Mr. Tang, thank you for thinking of me, but I feel that I am not experienced enough now, so it is better not to go. Let those scientific researchers who are struggling on the front line go!"

After saying this, he felt a lot more relaxed.

"Xiaotian, are you really sure?"

Elder Tang asked, seemingly in disbelief. You have to know that this is National Day, and the top people in the country will come out. As long as you can leave a good impression on the other party, this is something that many people would beg for.

"Mr. Tang, I'm sure!"

Zhou Tian gritted his teeth and said, "He has been very popular in the field of mechanics for more than a year. If he continues to be so high-profile, he is afraid that he will be killed by the limelight."

"Well, since you have made up your mind, I will not persuade you any more. You are young anyway, and you will have another chance in the future."

Next, Zhou Tian reported to Mr. Tang about the recent situation of the Bayi Red Star Machinery Factory and then hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Tian's expression was not good. When he thought about how he had just rejected the proposal to participate in the National Day, his heart even bled.

Thinking back to his previous life, he had admired the old man. After finally coming to this era, he had the opportunity to witness the old man's elegance, but reality forced him to bow his head.

Especially when he thought that his intelligence might have been placed on the desk of the leader of the hostile country, he decided to stay out of the spotlight as much as possible in the future.

Fortunately, it was Luo Peilin who reported the industry-university-research cooperation, and he was just an advocate. But even so, he received a reminder from Chang Wen that there were often strangers observing around the factory recently.

This woke Zhou Tian up again and he decided to keep a low profile. Although he knew that such days would definitely come again and he would not be able to hide it from the enemy's intelligence agencies in the end, at least he could keep it a secret for as long as he could.

After Zhou Tian tidied up his desk, he left the factory and rode his bike to Union Hospital.

He had already agreed with Shen Yulin yesterday that he would pick her up from get off work today.

When Zhou Tian got to Union Hospital and parked the car, he saw a young man having an intimate conversation with Shen Yulin's good friend Sister Li, while the young man kept glancing at his wife from time to time.

When Zhou Tian saw this, he immediately went forward.

"Yulin, Sister Li, who is this?"

Zhou Tian looked at the handsome young man who looked like a pretty boy and asked with a hint of hostility in his voice.

"Boss, you're here. This is Sister Li's boyfriend, Zhao Changle, Doctor Zhao who just returned from studying abroad in the Bald Eagle Country!"

When Shen Yulin saw Zhou Tian, ​​her beautiful eyes lit up instantly and she quickly ran to his side and introduced him.

"You came back from studying in the Bald Eagle Country?"

Hearing his wife's words, Zhou Tian's heart skipped a beat for some reason. He carefully looked at the young man in front of him.

It has to be said that this young man was the most handsome man he had ever seen. He was not inferior to him at all, and was even more handsome.

Especially the look of him in a suit and tie, which gives people a refreshing and neat impression.

But for some reason, he always felt that something was wrong, and even sensed a hint of hostility from the other party.

This made Zhou Tian quite puzzled for a moment. Logically speaking, he had never met the other party before. The reason why he felt hostile towards this young man just now was because he did not know the other party's identity.

But where did the other party's hostility towards him come from? Combining the other party's identity and background, he gradually began to guess, could it be...
