Siheyuan Great Craftsmen

The two chatted and kept lamenting the difficulties of finding housing. Before they knew it, more than ten minutes had passed.

It was not until Zhang Qi's wife urged them again and again that the two of them ended their chat reluctantly, said goodbye to each other, and made an appointment to have a drink after get off work.

"Boss, look at how tall this residential complex is. I felt dizzy in the elevator just now. I don't know how your factory was built."

When they arrived at the door of the house allocated to them, although Zhang Qi's wife had already gone upstairs, she was still confused when she thought of the tall buildings that came into view when she stepped into the community. It was really hard to imagine that people could live in such a high place.

"Okay, you woman, what do you know? This is a building designed by our dean himself, and I heard it is the tallest building in the city."

As Zhang Qi spoke, he took out the key and opened the door. As soon as the family stepped into the house, they were shocked by the open space in front of them.

"My God, this room is so big and bright!"

Looking at the room in front of them, Zhang Qi's family couldn't help but gasp and exclaimed in unison.

"That's nothing. Our house is only about 90 square meters, and the buildings in front are more than 100 square meters!"

Hearing the exclamations of his family, a look of pride involuntarily appeared on Zhang Qi's face.

"Over 100 square meters, how big is that? Boss, if we live in such a big house, aren't we almost capitalists?"

When Zhang Qi's wife heard what her husband said, she covered her mouth in astonishment. In her understanding, only landlords and capitalists had such luxurious residences.

The two pairs of children, seeing such a spacious house, were already running around the house excitedly.

"You are talking nonsense, what is a capitalist? This is a house that only the working class can live in. Even capitalists can't even live there if they want to!"

Zhang Qi glared at his wife fiercely, and then ordered: "Okay, stop talking nonsense, come, let's clean up the house, Xiaoting, Xiaojun, you two come here, don't run around with your brother and sister, help your mother clean up the house!"

"Here we go, Dad!"

Following two cheerful responses, a boy and a girl, about twelve or thirteen years old, ran out of the bedroom and surrounded Zhang Qi's wife, chattering, "Mom, there are several more rooms in this house, four in total! I want to live in one of my own in the future!"

"Yes, Dad and Mom, the rooms here are also big, much more spacious than our previous house!"

Zhang Qi listened to the children's excited shouts, and the smile on his face became brighter, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes seemed to be a little lighter. He looked around the empty house in front of him, but his heart was inexplicably full of expectations for the future.

"Okay, okay, mom got it. Come on, let's get started and try to move in as soon as possible. There's nothing in this house, and we need to buy some. There's not even a bed. But this house is so big, I'm afraid it will be exhausting to clean it up!"

Zhang Qi's wife gently rubbed her children's heads and looked at the empty house. Although she was a little worried, she couldn't suppress the smile on her lips.

"Okay, stop complaining, let's clean up together, finish it sooner and move in sooner!"

Zhang Qi ignored his wife's complaints, picked up the broom and started cleaning.

"Lao Luo, how many workers have moved into the community today?"

In a two-story building at the east gate of the workers' community, Song Weiguo asked Luo Guomin, director of the heating department, who came to report on his work.

"Dean, as of today, 1,500 households of workers have moved in!"

Luo Guomin responded quickly.

"There are already 1,500 households. That's a lot. Alas, the planning for the surrounding area hasn't been fully implemented yet, and so many people have moved in. This is not a good thing. Lao Luo, can we supply the coal?"

Song Weiguo's eyes flashed with worry, and he frowned and asked. He really didn't expect that the workers would be so impatient. He originally planned to wait until the surrounding facilities were completed after the new year before notifying the workers to move in. Who would have thought that they would move in now, which caught him off guard.

"Dean, if it burns for the entire winter, it may not be enough. At present, it can only burn for two months at most."

"Two months, no, it has to last at least three months. Lao Luo, go contact the coal factory right away and try to buy more. This is no small matter!"

Upon hearing that it could only last for two months, Song Weiguo's expression changed slightly and he immediately gave the order.

"Okay, Dean, I'll go right away!"

Luo Guomin nodded immediately and turned to contact the coal plant.

"No, it looks like this matter needs to be reported to the dean!"

Song Weiguo thought for a moment, and the more he thought about it, the more problems he felt. It was almost the New Year, and there was no place to buy food nearby, and supporting facilities such as daily necessities were not yet complete, which was extremely inconvenient for the workers.

Thinking of this, he directly called Zhou Tian and reported all the difficulties to him.

Zhou Tian was also surprised when he received Song Weiguo's call. He did not expect the workers to move into the family building so quickly. This was undoubtedly a mistake in their work. After thinking about it for a while, he also felt that this matter was quite tricky.

So he contacted Ouyang Minghua directly. After all, these facilities were originally managed by the district government. Now that there was a problem, he could only find him to discuss a solution.

After Ouyang Ming received Zhou Tian's call and promised to send someone to solve the problem immediately, Zhou Tian felt relieved and immediately devoted himself to the design work of the howitzer production line.

After all, the Chinese New Year is getting closer and closer, and there is not much time left. Fortunately, the types of weapons he developed at the beginning were not complicated, only a few, and although time is tight, it should be in time. At worst, he can continue to fight after work and go home.

Finally, at the end of December, on December 28th, Zhou Tian successfully completed the task assigned by his superiors. At this time, there were only five days left until the Chinese New Year.

After he handed over the production line design drawings to Chang Weijun, he began to prepare New Year's goods.

Apart from purchasing some fireworks, he did not buy any other New Year's goods. After all, he owned a mysterious space, so there was no need for him to make special purchases for the New Year's goods.

After work that day, Zhou Tian drove his jeep back home. As soon as he got out of the car at the door, he saw his father-in-law Shen Jie coming out pushing a bicycle.

"Dad, where are you going?"

"Where else can I go? Your mom asked me to go buy New Year's goods, and I was planning to go to the market."

Shen Jie smiled helplessly and said that in the past it was his son-in-law who prepared the New Year's goods, but this year, his wife asked him to prepare it.

"Hey, why are you going through all this trouble? I've prepared everything, you should just go back. Besides, the New Year is coming soon, and it might be a little late for you to prepare now."

What Zhou Tian said was true. Although he had only pretended to buy New Year's goods a few times before, he was still quite familiar with the current situation of New Year's goods.

Generally speaking, if you go shopping seven, eight or ten days before the New Year, you might be able to buy some good goods.

But now that the Chinese New Year is approaching, many high-quality New Year goods have already been sold out, and most of the remaining ones are not satisfactory. Even if the father-in-law buys them, I am afraid it will be difficult to satisfy the mother-in-law, and she may even scold her.

"You're right. Fine then. I'll trouble you, Xiaotian!"

When Shen Jie heard this, he thought it made sense, so he stopped insisting. He said something to his son-in-law and tried to push the bicycle back to the yard.

"Wait, Dad, since you are out, come with me to move the New Year's goods."

Zhou Tian called his father-in-law, turned around and opened the car door. With a thought, half a pork, a sheep, and twenty fish appeared in the car out of thin air.

"My goodness, Xiaotian, how much New Year's goods did you buy? Why did you prepare so much?"

Shen Jie parked his bicycle and walked to the front of the car. When he saw the New Year's goods on the car, he couldn't help but be shocked by his son-in-law's generosity.
