Siheyuan Great Craftsmen

Under the attention of everyone in the research institute, the expansion project of the home appliance branch was carried out in full swing.

This time, the superiors specially dispatched personnel to supervise the project, and the progress was quite rapid. About 10,000 people were involved. With the powerful assistance of construction machinery, both the construction progress of the factory building and the training results of the workers have been significantly improved compared with the first expansion.

The workers of the institute also worked with all their strength and overtime to manufacture equipment for the home appliance production line.

Zhou Tian led some staff to continue to modify and improve the previous home appliance design drawings, and explained patiently, focusing on cultivating their independent design capabilities, gradually preparing to let them design independently.

Time passed quietly, and in the blink of an eye, a month had passed and the new home appliance design was successfully completed.

During this month, the main construction of the home appliance factory was completed under the hard work of the engineering team day and night. Since most of the workers were skilled workers from various factories, they got started very quickly and the training work was basically completed successfully.

As for the family buildings, the originally planned 21 buildings have all been completed, and the greening work in the community has also been largely completed.

However, considering that the home appliance factory would expand and recruit a large number of workers, Zhou Tian applied to his superiors to build two additional communities with a total of 48 residential buildings.

Originally, he did not have high hopes for the application to be approved, but he did not expect that the approval document would be delivered to the institute the next day.

Zhou Tian hurriedly took advantage of the fact that the construction team had not yet evacuated and kept them to continue the construction.

As soon as this news came out, it caused an uproar in the city of Beijing.

The other factory workers, who had previously been envious of the generous treatment of the institute's workers, were now even more envious and wished they could take their place.

At the same time, workers from the research institute and its five branches were very popular in the blind date market. Many matchmakers came in droves, almost breaking down the doors of unmarried workers, vying to introduce them to potential partners.

This made the workers at the research institute and branch factories feel both proud and a little troubled, but it also greatly increased their sense of belonging to their unit.

"Dean!"

On November 1st, Zhou Tianzheng was discussing the subsequent design of home appliances with technicians when Liu Yuan and Song Weiguo hurried over.

"Anything? Okay, you guys design it yourself from now on, and come to me if you have any questions."

Zhou Tian looked up and glanced at the two of them, then gave instructions to the technicians.

"Okay, Dean!"

The technicians responded in unison, and then began a lively discussion.

"Let's talk about it outside."

Seeing that the two men were hesitant to talk, Zhou Tian stood up and walked out of the design room, and the three of them went to the office together.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

Zhou Tian closed the door, pulled a chair over and sat down, then looked up at the two of them and asked.

"Director, the first batch of family housing has been built. The workers would like to ask when the distribution will begin?"

As Song Weiguo spoke, under the gaze of the dean, both of them showed a trace of embarrassment. They all knew that it was inappropriate to disturb the dean's research because of this matter, but the workers kept asking questions, especially with the recent wedding boom. If they couldn't get an answer to the workers as soon as possible, the situation might become difficult.

"So that's what happened."

Zhou Tian was originally unhappy about being disturbed, but when he heard this was the reason, his anger immediately dissipated.

His memories of his past life were awakened, and he realized that a house is of great significance to the Chinese people. It is a symbol of home and a spiritual home.

In the hearts of Chinese people, home is the foundation, and only with a house can one have a sense of belonging. The booming real estate industry in the past is the best example. Even if one spends all the savings of two generations, one must settle down in the city. This is a sense of home and country that runs deep in the blood and soul. It is reasonable for the workers to ask for separate houses now. After all, this is the promise Zhou Tian made to the workers.

"When do you think is a good time?"

Zhou Tian thought for a moment and asked for their opinions.

"Dean, how about December 1st?"

Liu Yuan took the lead in proposing.

"December 1st? Weiguo, how about you?"

Zhou Tian pondered for a moment and looked at Song Weiguo.

"Dean, I think it's feasible too."

Song Weiguo replied that for him, the key was to determine the specific date so as to explain to the workers. As for the specific date, he didn't care.

"Then we will start distributing it on December 1st."

Seeing that both of them had no objection, Zhou Tian no longer hesitated and made the decision immediately.

After the room allocation was confirmed on December 1st, Liu Yuan and Song Weiguo left happily.

The news spread quickly, and within a day, the news that the institute would distribute housing on December 1st spread throughout the city. Countless workers' families were very excited when they heard about it, especially those families with several people squeezed into a small room, who were looking forward to this day coming soon and rushed to tell others.

"Xiaotian, will your family building really start distributing housing on December 1st?"

After get off work, Zhou Tian just got home and his mother-in-law Li Yuling walked out of the house holding the child and asked anxiously.

"Yes, Mom, how did you know?"

Zhou Tian was stunned at first, then nodded in response. He didn't expect that the date that the three of them had just decided on in the morning would have spread throughout the city by the time they got off work in the evening.

"What about you, Xiaotian, you really don't plan to share a set?"

Li Yuling still didn't give up and asked again. Although her son-in-law had stated last time that he would not participate in this housing distribution plan, she still felt a little unwilling.

"Mom, I've already said that I will not participate in this room allocation."

Zhou Tian looked at his mother-in-law helplessly, took the child from his mother-in-law's arms, and kissed his son on the face.

"But, Xiaotian, as the dean, if you don't want it, will the people below not dare to accept it?"

Li Yuling pointed out the key issue. Zhou Tian was startled when he heard it. He had not considered this before. After thinking about it carefully, he felt that this might happen and he might not have considered it properly.

After pondering for a moment, Zhou Tian decided to distribute the houses to the front-line workers first.

He knew that workers were the main body of society and the cornerstone of the country. In his previous life, as a member of the lower class, he hated the privileges of the rich and powerful. In this life, he was determined to contribute to this era. If he participated in it, what difference would he make from the rich and powerful that he hated in his previous life?

Although he is not a saint, he has his own bottom line and he will not do anything that would disgust himself.

Because he knows that if the bottom line is broken once, there will be countless times.

He himself possesses unique plug-ins and a mysterious space, and has no shortage of food, clothing, shelter, transportation, or even wealth and money. In this life, he is full of expectations and wants to witness with his own eyes whether the country can embark on a faster and more stable path of development with his help.

Instead of becoming a new dignitary, if he wants to enjoy life, he can even live a good life abroad with the help of space. Why should he work so hard in the country?

After thinking it through, Zhou Tian's expression flashed with determination, and he said to Li Yuling: "Mom, there is no need for you to interfere in this matter. I have made up my mind and will not participate in the division of rooms!" After that, he strode into the main room with the child in his arms, regardless of whether his mother-in-law looked unhappy or not.

As night falls, the moon hangs high in the sky, casting a cool glow. The weather in November has gradually begun to become bitterly cold. The howling cold wind blows on the branches like an evil spirit, making a sharp whistling sound that is creepy and frightening.

In the bedroom of the west wing, Zhou Tian lay quietly on the bed, staring blankly at the bright moon outside the window, lost in deep thought.

"Boss, what's wrong?" Ever since dinner, she has been keenly aware of the subtle aberration in the atmosphere between her husband and mother. At that time, because there were many people present, she was not in a position to ask. Now that she was back in the house, she couldn't help but ask softly.

"It's nothing. Today, my mother wanted me to give her an apartment, but I didn't agree!" Hearing his wife's gentle and concerned question, Zhou Tian slowly turned his head, glanced at her, and explained in a slightly low voice.
