Siheyuan Great Craftsmen

After dinner, Zhou Tian returned to the main room, said hello to his grandparents, father-in-law and mother-in-law, and then returned to the west wing.

Looking at Shen Yulin who was already asleep, he smiled, took off his clothes and got into bed.

As soon as I lay down, Shen Yulin squeezed over.

"Boss, I have something to ask of you!"

Zhou Tian couldn't help but chuckle when he heard that, and reached out his hand to scratch her nose.

"I knew you had something to ask of me, otherwise you wouldn't have been so bold in the kitchen just now."

"Hey, do you agree or not?"

Shen Yulin was immediately broken down by Zhou Tian's words, and started to act like a spoiled brat.

"Okay, tell me what it is first?"

Zhou Tian couldn't stand Shen Yulin's coquettish behavior anymore and surrendered.

"Boss, it's Sister Li's business. Didn't I tell you two months ago? That Zhao Changle went to Sister Li's house to propose marriage. I followed your instructions and tried to delay their business as much as possible, but who knew that Sister Li..."

Speaking of this, Shen Yulin couldn't help but flash a trace of sadness on her pretty face.

"Sister Li didn't listen to me at all and got engaged to the other party. Just a few days ago, Zhao Changle was arrested by the state, and Sister Li's reputation in the hospital was ruined. Everyone said that Sister Li married a spy, so she must be a spy. Now Sister Li has been fired from the hospital, so I think..."

As she spoke, Shen Yulin looked up at her husband.

"Then what do you want me to do?"

Zhou Tian's expression changed slightly, and he asked in a serious tone.

"I want you to try to find a new job for Sister Li!"

As Shen Yulin spoke, her tone became lower and lower, and her pretty face suddenly became lonely.

She also knew that her thoughts this time might be a bit naive, but Sister Li was once her best friend after all, and she didn't want to see Sister Li depressed.

"Silly girl, do you know what impact this will have on our family if I do this?"

Looking at the woman in front of him who always thinks of others, Zhou Tian smiled bitterly and asked with a serious expression.

Shen Yulin nodded silently, then shook his head.

"That means I, the factory director, will be fired on the spot, and our family will be labeled as spies from now on!"

Perhaps because he was afraid that Shen Yulin might not understand, Zhou Tian explained in a very serious tone.

"But, but, but Sister Li is really not a spy. Everyone in our hospital knows this!"

Shen Yulin was immediately frightened by her husband's words. Her pretty face turned pale and she began to defend herself anxiously.

"Yes, Sister Li is not a spy, I know that, but the problem is that others don't believe it. And the man she is engaged to is also a spy. If I tell her that she has no contact with Zhao Changle, who would believe it?"

Zhou Tian couldn't help but ask back.

"This, this!"

Shen Yulin was suddenly stumped by her husband's series of questions.

"Hey, silly girl, you have to know that when people are talking to each other, nothing you say will work. The only thing we can do is to protect ourselves! Yes, if I help, I can definitely find her a job. This is not a difficult thing for your man, but you have to know that I am not alone now. I have you, grandparents, parents, brothers and sisters, and children. What do you think should happen to our family if something happens to me?"

As Zhou Tian spoke, Shen Yulin's pretty face became paler and paler. Thinking of the terrible consequences, she realized the seriousness of the matter. She hurriedly stretched out her jade hand to block her husband's mouth and said, "Boss, stop talking. It's my fault. I shouldn't have shown sympathy!"

Perhaps what Zhou Tian said was too scary. As Shen Yulin spoke, tears in her beautiful eyes flowed down her cheeks.

"Okay, don't be afraid, this thing hasn't happened yet, right?"

Zhou Tian looked at his wife who was a little panicked because of what he had frightened her, and couldn't help but hug her tightly in his arms.

"Yulin, sometimes it's a good thing to be kind, but you have to remember that too much is as bad as too little. I know you have a good relationship with Sister Li, but you also have to understand what mistakes she made. Regardless of whether she is a spy or not, from the moment she ignored your advice and decided to accept Zhao Changle, she actually had to pay the price for her actions!"

Zhou Tian slowly comforted his silly wife. It is okay for people to be kind, but the problem is that when being kind, you also have to look at the object. You can't get yourself involved just because you have a good relationship with someone.

It is already the early days of the founding of the country. There are countless spies and enemy agents who are determined to destroy us. Ordinary people don't even have time to hide, so who dares to get involved?

As for Sister Li's experience, he did feel sympathy for her, but not pity. The moment she made her choice, she had actually lost the qualifications for sympathy.

"Yeah, I understand!"

Shen Yulin leaned tightly in her husband's arms and nodded.

She was not a stupid person, and she naturally knew the consequences of being associated with spies. She just couldn't bear to see her good friend who had always taken care of her fall to this state.

But if she had to trade her own safety and future for it, she naturally wouldn't be willing to do so.

No conversation that night, the next morning.

Zhou Tian got up from the bed reluctantly. Looking at Shen Yulin with tears in her eyes, he couldn't help but sigh, shook his head, put on his clothes, got out of bed, and walked out of the house.

As a gust of cold wind blew, Zhou Tian couldn't help but shiver even though his body had been tempered over the past two years.

"It's so cold!"

He cried out inwardly, then hurriedly closed the door and began to wash up.

After washing up, he performed a set of Xingyiquan as usual, then rode his bicycle out of the house and headed towards Chaoyang Vegetable Market.

Although the New Year's goods at home and the welfare benefits he brought back were enough, he still wanted to buy some other things. When he arrived at the vegetable market, he saw a lot of people, countless people crowding the market, the whole market was bustling, and the sounds of bargaining rose and fell.

Zhou Xia got off the car, pushed his bicycle and walked in the vegetable market, constantly looking at the stalls on both sides.

When he just passed a stall, he couldn't help but uttered a light exclamation, backed the car back, and stopped at an old man's stall.

"Uncle, what are you selling?"

Seeing the saplings and some vegetables on the old man's stall, he couldn't help but ask.

"Which one are you asking about, young man?"

The old man glanced at Zhou Tian, ​​smoking his pipe and asked.

“It’s just the saplings on your stall!”

Zhou Tian didn't waste any time, he parked the car next to the stall, squatted down, reached out to touch a few saplings, and asked curiously.

"You are talking about these saplings. Two of them are tea trees, two are peach trees, and one is a banana tree!"

The old man said casually, obviously, he didn't care much about these saplings.

"Banana tree? Sir, please don't lie to me. Where can we find banana trees in the north? Aren't you fooling me?"

Speaking of tea trees and peach trees, Zhou Tian believes that banana trees are tropical and subtropical plants that are suitable for growing in warm and humid climates, while the cold weather in the north is not suitable for the growth of banana trees at all.

By saying this, the old man is treating Zhou Tian as a fool.

"Haha, who says you can't grow banana trees in the north? What's more, you see, this is just a seedling, not a mature banana tree at all. I dug it from a mountain when I went to the south to visit my son. I wanted to plant it in the yard to see if it would survive, but it didn't work at all!"

The old man glanced at Zhou Tian and said with disappointment.

After hearing what the old man said, Zhou Tian finally understood why the old man said it was a banana tree. So that's how it is.
