Siheyuan Great Craftsmen

He squatted at the door, lit his pipe and started smoking it.

Zhou Tian played with the three children for a while, then handed them to their grandmother and mother-in-law. After giving some instructions to his wife, he went out and saw his second uncle at the door.

Seeing his second uncle's sad face, he couldn't help but walk forward and squat down.

"Uncle, what's the matter?"

"Ah! No!"

When second uncle Zhou Weimin suddenly heard what his nephew said, he seemed to be frightened and shook his head repeatedly.

"Hey, it's nothing, it's okay!"

"Okay, uncle, we are a family, and I know who you are. Let's not be polite between you and me. Tell me, what difficulties have you encountered?"

Zhou Tian knew his second uncle very well. As soon as he came back and walked in the door and saw his second uncle and second aunt, he felt something was wrong. Although the two of them had always behaved normally and were talking and laughing with their grandparents, who was he?

From the voices and laughter of my uncle and aunt, I could tell that their laughter was forced.

"This, this is really nothing! Xiaotian, stop imagining it!"

Zhou Weimin's eyes were dazed for a moment, then he shook his head and said with a determined look.

"Well, since you're alright, I'll go to the kitchen to cook first. Uncle, we'll have a nice drink later!"

Seeing that his second uncle didn't say anything, Zhou Tian didn't force him. He stood up and said something, then shouted to the room: "Xiaojun, Xiaomin, come with me and cook!"

"Here we come, big brother!"

"I know, brother!"

Zhou Jun and Zhou Min in the room responded reluctantly, and walked out one after another. They glanced at Zhou Weimin, and when Zhou Weimin nodded to them, they and Zhou Tian walked into the kitchen one after another.

"Xiaojun, you chop the chicken first, Xiaomin, you retest and wash the fish!?"

Zhou Tian threw the chicken and fish in the kitchen to the two of them and gave them instructions.

"Okay, big brother!"

The two took the chicken and fish and started to cook skillfully. Seeing their skillful techniques, Zhou Tian knew that they often helped his second aunt cook when they were at home.

He nodded in satisfaction, then started to light the fire and heat the pot. While busy, he pretended not to care and asked, "Xiaojun, Xiaomin, has anything happened to your family recently?"

Hearing the eldest brother's question, the two of them couldn't help but pause their busy hands, looked at each other, and shook their heads and said, "Brother, nothing happened, everything is fine!"

"fine?"

When Zhou Tian heard what the two said, he turned his head and looked at them with a smile. He didn't stop until he didn't know what to do with his hands.

"Xiaojun, Xiaomin, you and I are brothers. Although we are not blood relatives, I think I have been good to you two. But now I just want to hear you tell the truth. Is it so difficult?"

As he spoke, Zhou Tian's expression gradually became serious, and an aura of majesty instantly enveloped the two of them.

Zhou Jun and Zhou Min couldn't help but feel depressed when they saw their eldest brother's serious look, but thinking of their parents' instructions, they still shook their heads.

"Brother, our family is really good!"

"Forget it. Since you don't want to talk about it, it means you don't consider me as a family member. From now on, it seems that we will be drifting further and further apart!"

Seeing the two people's persistence, Zhou Tian reluctantly retracted his arrogance, sighed, turned his head pretending to be a little desolate, and continued to work on his hands.

Zhou Jun and Zhou Min were stunned by their eldest brother's actions, and then anxious looks flashed in their eyes.

"Brother, how could that be? My parents didn't let us tell you about this. They said they were afraid of causing trouble for you. So it's not that we don't want to tell you, brother!"

Zhou Jun was the first one to lose his temper and couldn't help but explain.

Although Zhou Min wanted to stop it, thinking of his eldest brother's expression just now, he could only let his brother Zhou Jun say it.

"Trouble? Tell me, what's going on?"

Hearing Zhou Min finally say it, Zhou Tian stopped pretending and turned around to look at Zhou Jun and asked.

"This, this, forget it, I said it's not okay!"

As soon as Zhou Jun said this, he knew that things were bad, but facing his eldest brother's gaze, he could only grit his teeth and tell him what happened.

It turned out that since Zhou Tian brought Zhou Weimin's family to Sijiu City to work, last year, they went back to their grandmother's house on the second day of the Chinese New Year.

Who knew that my grandmother's aunt became jealous when she saw that my sister-in-law and her family had started working in the city. She kept making inquiries, and my second aunt did not hide it from her family.

He boasted to his grandmother's family about Zhou Tian being the factory leader, and also told them how their family was brought to work in the old city.

This caused my elder aunt and younger aunt to start scheming, and they kept praising my second uncle and them in front of my grandmother. If it were just like that, it wouldn't be a big deal, but it happened after dinner when they were about to return to the city.

Both the elder aunt and the younger aunt started talking about the difficulties at home, and begged Zhou Weimin if he could ask Zhou Tian to get their children into the factory as well.

Now Second Aunt was a little dumbfounded. He had come back with the purpose of showing off to his mother's family, but who knew that it would cause such a thing.

Second Aunt had no choice but to agree first, and then she returned to Sijiu City with Second Uncle. After returning, the two started arguing about this matter.

This was the second year of the Chinese New Year. My second aunt had originally planned to go back, but when they thought of what they had promised last year, they felt ashamed to see their parents.

He had no choice but to come here and seek Zhou Tian's help, but when he got here, he was too embarrassed to speak up, and finally he told the two of them not to tell Zhou Tian about this.

After listening to Zhou Jun's story, Zhou Tian couldn't help but frowned slightly. Although he thought that his second uncle might have other things to do so he didn't dare to ask, and even thought about borrowing money, he never thought it was because of this reason.

To be honest, if it was for other reasons, Zhou Tian might be able to help a little, but he really felt this kind of matter was difficult.

After all, he had just rejected the people from Zhoujia Village, but if he helped the relatives from his second aunt's family right after that, it would be totally unreasonable. Compared with the people from his second aunt's family, to be honest, the people in the village had a closer relationship with him.

"Brother, please don't tell my parents about this. If they knew you knew about this, they might really beat me to death!"

After Zhou Jun finished speaking, he couldn't help but look at Zhou Tian with pleading eyes. You know, his parents had repeatedly warned him not to tell Zhou Tian about this matter. Now that he had said it, he could already imagine it.

If his parents find out, he will probably be beaten.

"Okay, I get it, but Xiaojun, Xiaomin, do you think I should help with this matter?"

Zhou Tian nodded casually and responded, then turned his gaze to Zhou Jun and Zhou Min.

"Shouldn't help!"

Zhou Jun was a little hesitant, but Zhou Min shook his head firmly.

Seeing that his eldest brother and his elder brother were looking at him, Zhou Min said slowly: "Brother, my grandmother's family and my family are relatives, so it's okay for us to help, but you are different. You have no relatives with my grandmother's family, so you don't need to get involved!"

"Besides, you are now a cadre, your status is different, you cannot make any mistakes. Our Zhou family are all farmers, and we are where we are today, all thanks to Big Brother, so I will not let Big Brother make mistakes just because of my grandmother's family!"
