Siheyuan Great Craftsmen

After seeing off the big boss, Zhou Tian brought Song Weiguo and the four new deputy factory directors to his office. After asking them to sit down, he poured a cup of tea for each of them. Then he looked at them and said, "Except for Weiguo, everyone here is older than me. But for the sake of convenience, if you don't mind, I will call you Lao Zhang, Lao Jiang, Lao Chang, and Lao Zheng."

Jiang Long and the others nodded when they heard this. After all, they were not in the army now, so they didn't care about the way they were addressed. What's more, this way of addressing them could make them seem more intimate.

"Well, since you can all accept it, let's assign the tasks!"

Seeing that no one objected, Zhou Tian started to talk about business.

According to his original idea, he was going to assign the tasks at the factory directors' meeting tomorrow, but since the top leaders did not stay for dinner, instead of waiting until tomorrow, it would be better to arrange it now so that they can get familiar with the factory affairs as soon as possible.

After discussion between Zhou Tian and several others, it was decided that Lao Zhang would be in charge of logistics and procurement, and at the same time be responsible for the daily management and maintenance of the oxygen top-blown converter.

Lao Jiang is in charge of the technical department and the publicity department, Lao Chang is in charge of the transportation department and the material department, and Lao Zheng is in charge of the trade union and the maintenance department. Song Weiguo is still in charge of production.

After assigning the tasks, Zhou Tian breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, now that everyone has decided on their respective responsibilities, I will have someone hand over to you starting tomorrow! If you have anything else to do, you can go back first!"

"Weiguo, please stay for a moment!"

As he spoke, Zhou Tian said to Song Weiguo.

"Okay, director!"

Song Weiguo nodded upon hearing this.

After the four people left, Zhou Tian took out a cigarette from his pocket, threw it to Song Weiguo, lit it, took a deep puff and looked at him: "Weiguo, now the deputy factory directors are in place, you can take them to familiarize themselves with the work tomorrow, and also explain to Xie Weijun and the others."

Xie Weijun and four others have been acting as deputy factory directors for some time and have become familiar with the machinery factory's procedures. Now that the deputy factory director has been officially appointed, their mission is accomplished.

"Okay, director!"

Song Weiguo nodded, took a puff of smoke and agreed.

"Also, tell them about the branch factory and ask them to run around more and communicate more with the people in the engineering team. After all, they will be in charge of the branch factory's affairs from now on. I don't want them to wait until the branch factory is established before they get familiar with the factory environment!"

After saying that, Zhou Tian gave Song Weiguo a few more instructions before letting him leave.

After everyone had left, he finally felt a sense of relief. He couldn't help but hold the cigarette in his mouth with a smile on his face.

Soon, as the music for the end of get off work sounded, Zhou Tian came to his senses, put out his cigarette, stood up, picked up his backpack, left the office, rode his bike and headed home.

After returning home, Zhou Tian just pushed open the door and carried the car in, he heard a burst of giggles coming from the yard. He couldn't help but look in the direction of the sound, and saw his grandmother and mother-in-law bending over, holding the two little ones' arms with both hands, and carefully letting them walk in the yard.

Both grandma and mother-in-law had kind smiles on their faces, while Xiao Zhifeng and Xiao Zhinan were smiling happily, taking clumsy steps with their short legs, and walking forward step by step.

Grandpa was sitting alone on a stone bench, holding little Zhiyi in his arms, looking at the four of them happily.

"Grandma, Mom, why did you suddenly think of bringing these three little ones out today?"

Zhou Tian parked his bicycle while smiling, then walked towards the two of them.

"Oh, my dear son, you are about to start learning to walk!"

As he spoke, Zhou Tian picked up Xiao Zhifeng from his grandmother's arms. Unexpectedly, before his grandmother could say anything, Xiao Zhifeng in his arms became unhappy and began to struggle in Zhou Tian's arms.

"Dad, let's go, Dad, let's go!"

She struggled and cried out, and her words seemed to show that she was very dissatisfied with being held in his arms.

"Okay, okay! Let's go, let grandma rest for a while, daddy will teach you!"

Zhou Tian had no choice but to put Xiao Zhifeng down, hold him with both hands, and start teaching him to walk.

"Isn't it because the weather is nice today? So I'll discuss with your mom and take the three little ones out for some fresh air!"

Grandma looked at her eldest grandson and great-grandson, her eyes almost narrowed into slits, and replied with a smile.

"Okay, you've been tired all day, let grandma do it!"

Zhou Tiancai helped Xiao Zhifeng walk for a while before his grandmother stepped forward and said with concern, snatching Xiao Zhifeng from his hands.

"You should go back to your room and have some rest. Yulin will be back from get off work soon!"

As he said this, it seemed that he didn't want Zhou Tian to get involved.

"Okay! You think I'm getting in the way?"

When Zhou Tian saw this situation, he glanced at his mother-in-law who was still happily playing with Xiao Zhinan. He had originally planned to play with Xiao Zhiyi, but when he saw his grandfather hugging Xiao Zhiyi and glaring at him, he could only sigh in his heart and turned to walk towards the kitchen in the backyard.

"I'd better go cook!"

After entering the kitchen, Zhou Tian first took a look at the ingredients in the kitchen and found that there was still a lot of meat left. He gave up the idea of ​​taking more from the space, picked up the kitchen knife, and started cutting the meat.

As a rhythmic beat sounded, the pork was quickly cut into even-sized slices.

He lit a fire, heated the pot, and with smooth movements, soon the vegetables were cut.

He mixed and kneaded the dough, then skillfully made the steamed buns and steamed them in a large pot. Then he started to boil lard in a small pot next to it. The aroma of lard instantly filled the entire kitchen.

"It smells so good! The lard made from pork in this era is indeed much more fragrant than in the past!"

Although he has lived in this era for so many years and has eaten a lot of pork and boiled a lot of lard, he still cannot resist the rich aroma.

He couldn't help but take a deep breath, then he picked up a bowl and scooped out the lard and meat with a spoon.

After taking a look at the remaining pork and lard, he threw in the vegetables he had already cut.

Since there are many people in the family, Zhou Tian prepared more than just one dish. He also prepared braised fish, fried celery with meat, and braised pork.

By the time his father-in-law, Shen Yulin, Zhou Yu and Zhou Ting came back, he had already put the food on the table.

"It's time to eat!"

After setting the table, Zhou Tian looked at the few people who had not returned yet, and couldn't help but walk out of the yard and shouted towards the front yard.

"I know, brother!"

Before grandma and the others responded, Zhou Yu and Zhou Ting ran in from the front yard, ran directly to Zhou Tian's side, grabbed his hand and asked: "Brother, what delicious food did you make today? Do you have braised pork?"

As he spoke, a hint of anticipation appeared on Zhou Yu's little face.
