Siheyuan Great Craftsmen

"I see. I was wondering why you ran so fast after work. So you were going to night school?"

After listening to Zhou Tian's explanation, He Daqing finally heaved a sigh of relief, but then he said, "Xiaotian, since you have to go to night school every day after get off work, why don't you let your brothers and sisters come to Uncle He's house for dinner after school? This will save me from having to come over specially to cook for you in the future!"

"That won't do!"

As soon as He Daqing finished speaking, Zhou Tian shook his head and refused, saying that although it was not a disaster year, to be honest, many families were still under heavy burden.

Although Uncle He's family was not short of food, Zhou Tian couldn't do that. He already felt embarrassed to let He Daqing cook for his younger brothers and sisters, let alone eat at Uncle He's house.

No matter how thick-skinned he was, he wouldn't dare to do that.

"Well, what's the big deal? It's just a matter of a few meals. If you don't want to, I can do it!"

He Yuzhu heard the conversation between the two and couldn't help but curl his lips.

"You silly boy, why are you so stupid!"

Before Zhou Tian could say anything, He Daqing slapped He Yuzhu on the back of his head again and cursed, "You bastard, if you can't speak, just say less. Do I need you to say anything?"

"Dad, why do you always hit me? If you hit me again, I might really get beaten into a fool!"

He Yuzhu looked at He Daqing with dissatisfaction.

"I hit you, so what? Can you hit your father?"

He Daqing was furious after hearing what He Yuzhu said. He grabbed He Yuzhu and pushed him out of Zhou's house, saying, "Get out of here, kid. I don't want to see you now! Go back to sleep, you stupid idiot!"

"Uncle He, not really, not really!"

Zhou Tian wanted to stop He Yuzhu, but He Yuzhu was also stubborn and said directly: "Go back to sleep, go back to sleep, do you think I want to come with you!"

After saying that, He Yuzhu turned around and left angrily, and even Zhou Tian’s shouting didn’t stop him.

"Uncle He, what are you doing?"

Zhou Tian looked at He Yuzhu and saw that he had left, and turned to look at He Daqing.

"Hey, Xiaotian, what sin did your uncle He commit in his previous life? This silly boy can't even tell the difference between good and bad words!" He Daqing shook his head, lit a cigarette, took a puff and said.

"Uncle He, Zhuzi may still be young, so he doesn't understand what Uncle He said. Maybe he will understand when he grows up a little!"

Zhou Tian said comfortingly.

"You're still young. Humph. In a few years, you'll be old enough to get married. What's so sad about being young? It's a pity that there's no woman in the family. There are many things that I, your uncle He, can't teach you!"

As He Daqing spoke, he sighed deeply, took a deep puff of his cigarette, and couldn't help coughing a few times.

"Uncle He, tell me, are you really planning on not getting married for the rest of your life?"

Listening to He Daqing's words, Zhou Tian's heart moved and he asked.

To be honest, Zhou Tian was not sure whether He Daqing would run away or not. He could clearly hear from He Daqing's words that He Daqing might still have the urge to find a wife.

Now it seems that the White Widow alone is not enough to make He Daqing completely alert. He is suddenly filled with worries about the future of He Yuzhu and He Yushui.

"I don't know about your uncle He either!"

He Daqing said this, not daring to be sure.

Although he had been cheated by the White Widow once, for some reason, he felt like he was ready to do it again during this period of time.

Especially when he is alone in the dead of night, he wants to find a woman even more. To be honest, he is really tired of this kind of life.

"Uncle He, since you are not sure, why don't you find a matchmaker and let him introduce you to someone?"

Zhou Tian looked at He Daqing's distressed face and couldn't help asking.

"Easier said than done!"

He Daqing smoked a cigarette, glanced at Zhou Tian and said, "There are two burdens at home, and it's not easy to find a wife. What's more, I'm not afraid of anything else, but I'm most afraid that marrying her will be bad for Zhuzi and Yushui! When the time comes, I'll be in a dilemma, and that's the most worrying thing!"

Zhou Tian nodded when he heard that. He had seen a lot of things about his stepmother on short videos in his previous life. Not to mention his previous life, even now, it is not so easy to find his stepmother.

Although He Daqing's salary is good, with the addition of He Yuzhu and He Yushui, an average family would not even consider it.

"What if I marry someone from the countryside?"

Zhou Tian couldn't help but ask, but he suddenly remembered the Jia family in the central courtyard.

Unexpectedly, He Daqing suddenly looked at him like a fool and said, "Life in the countryside is no worse than that of workers nowadays. People in the city can't even get married, let alone in the countryside!"

Seeing He Daqing's eyes, Zhou Tian suddenly realized that the land was being distributed in the countryside now, and it could be said that it was welcoming the best days in thousands of years.

Every farmer is full of hope for their future life, and one more person may mean one more acre of land. How could they let their daughters get married now? Isn't this digging up their own roots?

For a moment, Zhou Tian didn't know how to persuade him and could only shake his head helplessly.

"Uncle He, I don't know what to say about this matter. It seems that I can only find a matchmaker now!"

"Okay, Uncle He, I'll take care of this matter myself! It's getting late now, you should take a rest. Uncle He is leaving."

He Daqing put out the cigarette, stood up and walked towards the door. As he reached the door, he suddenly remembered something and turned around to ask.

"By the way, do you need Uncle He to come over and cook for your brother and sister tomorrow?"

"Uncle He, I may have to trouble you for the next few days." Zhou Tian said a little embarrassedly.

"Well, what's the big deal? It's just that you don't want to. Otherwise, just let your brothers and sisters come to Uncle He's house to eat. It will save a lot of trouble! Okay, you take a rest. I'm leaving now!"

He Daqing waved his hand and walked towards the central courtyard.

Zhou Tian watched He Daqing's back and couldn't help but have a new understanding of He Daqing's character. At the same time, he secretly made up his mind that he must repay him well in the future.

After closing the door, Zhou Tian went upstairs to check on his younger brothers and sisters. Seeing that they were all asleep, he returned to his room, took off his clothes, and lay in bed, thinking about the land division in the countryside.

"I don't know how much land my grandparents, uncle and aunt have been allocated now. I hope they can get more!"

After all, in my hometown, I have grandparents, my second uncle and aunt, three younger brothers and two younger sisters. If this family can get more land, life will be better.

Thinking of this, two kind old faces emerged in his mind. He calculated the time and found that he had not been back to see his grandparents for almost half a year.

Besides, his grandparents were the best to him. Now when he thinks about it, he can't help but miss them.

"Maybe it's time to go back and see the two old people!"

Thinking of this, he gradually fell asleep with longing for his grandparents.
