Siheyuan Great Craftsmen

Of course, when he said this, he was not confident in his heart. After all, the lessons learned from the last time made him realize that Minister Xie’s mind was not that broad. But no matter what, these had nothing to do with him, and he would not take sides.

After the two finished chatting, Zhou Tian discussed the workers' holidays with Zhang Mingzhi. Finally, it was decided that the institute would give the workers a seven-day holiday. After cleaning the factory this afternoon, the workers could go home.

Then they discussed the candidates for duty in the next few days before sending Zhang Mingzhi away.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, when the news of the holiday came on the radio, the workers in the entire institute all smiled happily. After all, they had worked hard for a year and now they could finally have a good rest.

The workshop directors also began to organize workers to clean the workshops in accordance with the instructions of the factory leaders, while the people from the logistics department cleaned all the laboratories.

As the saying goes, there is strength in numbers. An hour later, the entire institute was cleaned up very tidy inside and out.

Accompanied by the music on the radio, the workers walked out of the research institute in groups of three or four and headed towards their homes.

"Okay, now that the workers have left, let's go too!"

In the office, Zhou Tian stood in front of the window, looking at the research institute. There was almost no one there. Then he said something to Liu Yuan, picked up his backpack, left the office and went downstairs.

I came to the carport, pushed my bicycle out of the institute, and rode towards home.

"Is Dean Zhou on vacation?"

"Yeah, it's holiday!"

Along the way, whenever he met someone who knew him, they would greet him with a smile, and Zhou Tian had to respond.

Until he returned to Mianhua Hutong, he met more acquaintances than he expected. The journey should have only taken him a dozen minutes, but it took him a full hour to get to his doorstep.

He pushed the car into the front yard and just as he stepped into the backyard, he heard familiar laughter coming from the main room.

"Hey, what are you talking about? You look so happy?"

Zhou Tian couldn't help but push open the door, lift the curtain, and look into the room.

"Grandson, you're back. Come and see who's here."

When grandma saw Zhou Tian coming back, she immediately walked up to him, took his hand, and came to one of the middle-aged men who was about forty years old.

The moment Zhou Tian saw the middle-aged man, he was stunned for a moment, as if he had thought of something, and asked uncertainly: "Are you Uncle Liu?"

"It's me, Xiaotian. I didn't expect that you've grown so big in just ten years, and you've even gotten married?"

Liu Quan looked at Zhou Tian and couldn't help feeling sad. Until now, he still remembered that when he first met Xiao Tian in Weiguo's house, he was just a ten-year-old little kid. But he didn't expect that after this separation, not only did Weiguo's brother pass away, but the little kid also grew up and got married.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help feeling that things had changed and people had changed.

"Uncle Liu, where have you been for the past ten years? Why haven't you even written a letter?"

Seeing Liu Quan admit it, Zhou Tian's face suddenly showed a hint of excitement. He walked forward, grabbed Liu Quan's arm and asked.

You know, in his memory, Uncle Liu was very good to him, and the two families almost became relatives. However, for some unknown reason, Uncle Liu suddenly left without saying goodbye, and the whole family disappeared in Zhoujia Village.

He remembered that when he knew Uncle Liu had passed away, he cried for a long time. Unexpectedly, Uncle Liu came back ten years later. How could he not be happy?

"By the way, Uncle Liu, is Sister Ruyan okay?"

Zhou Tian seemed to have thought of something and continued to ask.

"Okay, that's fine, but it seems like you two are not meant to be together!"

Uncle Liu smiled and glanced at Shen Yulin who was holding the child beside him, and said something meaningful.

My daughter and this boy were childhood sweethearts. I didn't expect that he would get married. I don't know how sad my daughter would be if she knew.

He knew that his daughter had always been obsessed with this boy and had never had a boyfriend even when she was in college. Every time he wanted to introduce a few candidates to his daughter, she rejected them. It was obvious that his daughter could not forget him, but now it seemed that they were not destined to be together after all.

"Really? Hey, Uncle Liu, you know that I have always treated Sister Ruyan as my sister!"

After listening to Uncle Liu's words, Zhou Tian reacted all of a sudden, especially when he saw the fierce look in his wife's eyes. For some reason, he felt a chill all over his body and explained immediately.

He didn't dare let his wife misunderstand him. Although he knew that Shen Yulin was not a jealous person, once she became jealous, it could be fatal.

"Uncle Liu, by the way, where have you been for the past ten years? Why haven't we heard from you at all?"

After explaining, Zhou Tian pulled a stool and sat in front of Uncle Liu. He was really curious about the ten years that Uncle Liu had been missing. After all, according to the relationship between his family and Uncle Liu's family, if Uncle Liu was really in Sijiu City, then it was impossible for Uncle Liu not to come when his father died.

"Hey, come to think of it, it's my fault!"

Seeing that Zhou Tian was still asking questions, Uncle Liu had no choice but to tell him what happened. After all, it has been four years since the liberation, and he is not afraid of implicating the Zhou family again.

It turns out that Liu Quan was not from Zhoujia Village. He was one of the undercover personnel who came to Beiping on the orders of the organization eleven years ago, and he was shouldering a very difficult task of the organization, which was to find an opportunity to assassinate the person in charge of Xiao Rizi Beiping at that time.

Unfortunately, as the city of Sijiu had just fallen, Xiao Ri was very cautious and he could not find any opportunity.

It was not until a year later that he found a suitable opportunity. Unfortunately, his plan failed due to insufficient preparation. In order not to implicate Zhoujia Village at that time, he had no choice but to flee the city of Sijiu with his family and return to the organization.

After liberation, he had been working in Dongshan until recently, when he received a transfer order from the organization to serve as deputy director of the Xicheng District Public Security Bureau of Sijiucheng. Only then did he and his family return to Sijiucheng.

After returning to Sijiu City, he thought of Zhou Weiguo's family, and wanted to find out about Weiguo's brothers through his connections, but he didn't expect to hear that Zhou Weiguo had passed away, which shocked him. Then he learned about Zhou Tian's news, which led to the scene of today's visit.

After listening to Liu Quan's story, Zhou Tian finally understood why Uncle Liu left without saying goodbye. At the same time, he also understood why he thought Uncle Liu was so powerful when he was a child. It turned out that Uncle Liu was a member of the organization.

"Uncle Liu, I didn't expect you to have such a history. It's really unexpected!"

“Haha, wasn’t there anything we could do? To be honest, I had thought about asking Brother Weiguo to join the organization as well. After all, Brother Weiguo’s skills were so amazing. But I didn’t expect that Brother Weiguo would go at such a young age!”

As Liu Quan spoke, he couldn't help but reveal a trace of sadness in his eyes when he thought of his brothers Weiguo.

After all, he did not forget that when he and his wife pretended to flee famine and came to Sijiu City, it was the Weiguo brothers and their family who took them in, which gave them the opportunity to stay in Zhoujia Village temporarily and safely carry out the tasks assigned by their superiors.

It's a pity that if he had known that brother Weiguo would die so early, he might as well have taken brother Weiguo and his family with him. Maybe brother Weiguo would still be alive.
