"What? You can smell the fragrance?"

Zhou Tian looked at the three little guys on the bed and was a little surprised.

Although he knew that babies can eat complementary foods when they are six or seven months old, he was not sure about the time it takes for a baby to develop its sense of smell.

Now I know that a baby's sense of smell has already begun to develop when he is five months old.

"Yes, Xiaotian, now the three little ones are making a lot of noise all day, and the bed is not safe anymore. It seems that we should build a crib for the children!"

Mother-in-law Li Yuling also made timely suggestions.

"Okay, Mom. This was my oversight. I'll find someone to build a crib tomorrow!"

Zhou Tian nodded and agreed.

Everyone was extremely satisfied with the meal in the evening, especially Zhou Yu and Zhou Ting, who couldn't stop eating. After the meal, even though they had eaten the food made by Zhou Tian several times, they were still full.

After resting for a while, Zhou Haosanxiao and his wife Shen Yulin began to clean up the table.

The north wind rustled the windows at night.

The house is as warm as spring, with heating equipment designed by Zhou Tian. It can be said that living in a courtyard is more comfortable than living in an apartment.

What's more, in order to renovate the courtyard house, he even had a bathroom and toilet built.

Even if Zhou Tian was allocated an apartment now, he would not even want to live there.

Perhaps because this winter was exceptionally cold, or perhaps because of a cold wave from the north, heavy snow began to fall from the sky in the middle of the night.

When Zhou Tian woke up from bed the next day, he found that the yard was covered with heavy snow.

After putting on his clothes and going out, the cold wind mixed with heavy snow blew on his face, making it feel a little painful.

"Very big snow!"

Looking at the entire courtyard, the ground was covered with a thick layer of snow, and everything around was covered in silver. Zhou Tian walked on the snow, making a crackling sound.

When he arrived at the front yard, Zhou Tian saw Chang Wen and Chang Wu had already started sweeping the heavy snow in the yard.

"Morning, Chief!"

"Good morning, Changwen, Changwu!"

Zhou Tian smiled at the two of them, opened the storage room, took out three shovels and a broom, and after coming out, he threw two of the shovels to the two of them.

He returned to the inner house and started cleaning from the door of the main room.

By the time his grandfather and father-in-law woke up, Zhou Tian had already cleaned up almost one-third of the area. With the two of them joining in, the cleaning speed became faster.

By eight o'clock, the heavy snow had subsided a lot.

After clearing the snow from the entire yard, it was almost noon, so Zhou Tian instructed Zhou Hao and Zhou Yu to clean the snow from the roof.

Then he went into the kitchen and started busying himself.

After lunch, Zhou Tian left home and walked towards Yangshi Lei's home in Mianmian Hutong.

"Master Lei, are you at home?"

Arriving at the door of Yangshi Lei’s house, Zhou Tian shouted loudly.

"Who?"

They were talking inside, and with the sound of a door opening, a woman poked her head out. When she saw Zhou Tian at the door, a happy smile immediately appeared on her face.

"Oh, it's Master Zhou. Come in quickly. It's snowing so hard. Come in and warm up. I'll make you some tea!"

As the woman spoke, she opened the door, let Zhou Tian in, welcomed him into the room and asked him to sit down, then she busied herself pouring him tea.

"Master Zhou, Lao Lei is out repairing someone's house today. He should be back soon. Please sit down and wait!"

As the woman spoke, she handed the tea to Zhou Tiandao attentively.

She didn't dare to neglect Zhou Tian. You know, Zhou Tian was a big customer of their family. In the past two years, Yangshi Lei Guang made a lot of money by repairing houses for Zhou Tian.

"Okay, Auntie, please stop busying yourself. Since Master Lei is not here, I will wait for a while. Please take a seat too!"

Zhou Tian looked at the woman's attentive look and said with some discomfort.

"Hey, hey, hey, I'll sit! I'll sit!"

As the woman spoke, she also sat down.

"Master Zhou, what do you want to talk to Lao Lei about this time?"

After sitting down, both the woman and Zhou Tian couldn't help feeling awkward. In order to find a topic to talk about, the woman spoke first.

When it comes to house repairs, the woman doesn't believe it. After all, Master Zhou's house has just been renovated for more than a year. But if it wasn't for house repairs, she wouldn't know why Master Zhou came.

"It's like this, Auntie, I want to ask Master Lei to make a custom-made baby bed!"

When Zhou Tian heard the woman's words, he did not hide anything and directly stated his purpose.

"Crib?"

After all, the woman was a couple living with Yangshi Lei. After hearing Zhou Tian's words, she was not surprised. Instead, she pondered for a moment and asked, "Master Zhou, how do you plan to customize it?"

Now it was Zhou Tian's turn to be confused. Could it be that Master Lei's lover also knew carpentry?

However, he reacted quickly and told the woman the size and requirements of the crib. Zhou Tian was going to customize the crib. He did not intend to make just a simple bed, but a crib for future generations.

As for the rubber wheels that could be used, he planned to go to the factory and find a tire that was no longer usable and make them himself.

Maybe for others, it is a little difficult to make rubber tires into baby stroller wheels, but for him, this step is actually not complicated.

Soon, as Zhou Tian continued his narration and drew pictures on the ground, the shape of a crib, which was common in later generations, appeared on the ground.

The woman looked at the crib design on the ground, her eyes suddenly flashed with an extremely bright light, and her mouth kept saying some terms.

After a long time, she raised her head, looked at Zhou Tian and smiled.

"Okay, Master Zhou, I already know your request. I'll tell Lao Lei when he comes back!"

Zhou Tian was very smart. He immediately understood what the woman meant. Hearing this, he stood up and said with a smile, "In that case, I won't stay any longer. I wonder how long it will take to make the crib?"

The woman heard this and thought about it.

"Master Zhou, if you are in a hurry, you can come and pick it up in three days. If you are not in a hurry, then you can come and pick it up in five days. It depends on your schedule."

"Three days then!"

Zhou Tian calculated and felt that three days was enough time for him to make the small rubber tires, so he said.

"Okay, then three days!"

After agreeing on a time with the woman, Zhou Tian left Yangshi Lei's house. When he walked out the door, he couldn't help but look back at Yangshi Lei's house and sighed, "You can't judge a person by his appearance. I didn't expect Yangshi Lei's wife to be able to do carpentry!"

It is simply "If you are not from the same family, you will not enter the same door!"

When he got home, Zhou Tian told Yangshi Lei about having him custom-make the baby crib for him.

Perhaps because today is New Year's Eve, in the afternoon, firecrackers were heard everywhere on the streets of the old city, and the deafening sound of firecrackers continued to ring out in the alleys.

This made Zhou Tian very worried about the situation of the three children, but when he came into the room and saw the three children looking for the direction of the sound with clear eyes, he couldn't help but smile.

I couldn't help but kiss the three little guys on the head.
