Siheyuan Great Craftsmen

Along the way, not far from Dongzhimen, the entire road becomes uneven, and there are even big potholes in some places. If you are not careful, you may fall off your horse or person.

Zhou Tian rode his bike carefully all the way. Even though he deliberately avoided the uneven road, he was still dizzy and jolted all over. If he didn't go back to his hometown only once or twice a year, he wouldn't even dare to ride on such a road.

For the first time, he regretted riding his bike.

After finally arriving not far from Zhoujia Village, Zhou Tian just stopped his bike and the third child couldn't wait to get off. The third brother Zhou Yu rubbed his butt and said, "Brother, I won't ride your bike anymore. It almost broke my butt in half!"

The walking posture of the second brother and the younger sister was also a little wrong. Obviously, not only Zhou Tian felt uncomfortable, but even the third child could hardly bear it.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, at least we have a car so we can come back earlier!"

Zhou Tian naturally would not admit that it was his mistake, and simply laughed and scolded his third brother.

The next step of the journey was not far, and Zhou Tian and San Xiao did not mention riding bikes at the same time. The four of them pushed the bikes and walked towards the village.

When we arrived at the entrance of the village, we saw a group of villagers sitting under a big tree and chatting.

When Zhou Tian pushed his bicycle over, a group of villagers looked at him in confusion. Suddenly, one of them smiled and stood up and said, "Isn't this Xiaotian from the Zhou family? Why did you bring your brother and sister back to see your grandparents?"

As soon as the villager finished speaking, a group of villagers realized that these four children were the four orphans of the eldest son of the Zhou family.

It’s no wonder they couldn’t recognize them at first. It had been more than half a year since Zhou Tian brought his younger brothers and sisters back last time. Moreover, the four children were very thin at that time. They don’t look like they are now with rosy complexions and taller statures. How could they recognize them with such a big change?

The reason why Zhou Dayang was able to recognize them was that he was the rickshaw driver in the village and traveled to and from the old city quite often. Whenever Zhou Tian wanted to send something to his grandparents, he would basically send it back through him.

"Yes, Uncle Dayang, are you taking a break?"

Zhou Tian couldn't help but smile when he saw Zhou Dayang's face and replied.

"Hey, isn't it the autumn harvest season yet? So there's nothing to do these days. Take a few days off first. We'll be busy again in a few days. Look at me, why am I telling you all this? You should go home quickly! I guess your grandparents are waiting for you!"

Zhou Dayang said a few words first, then laughed.

"Okay then, Uncle Dayang, you guys take a rest first, I'll be going back first!"

After Zhou Tian finished speaking, he took his younger brother and sister and walked towards his grandparents' house.

Along the way, Zhou Tian's bicycle and the cloth on the back seat attracted the attention of many villagers. Especially when they looked at the bicycle, the envy in their eyes was not concealed at all.

You know, in their Zhoujia Village, even the village chief's family doesn't have a bicycle.

In this way, Zhou Tian pushed his bicycle to a hillside not far from his grandparents' house under the envious gaze of the villagers. He only needed to raise his eyes to see his grandparents' house. His grandparents lived at the southernmost end of the village. The houses were all adobe houses, with a total of five large rooms.

Each house is 20 square meters and is surrounded by a courtyard wall. The entire courtyard is nearly 80 square meters. There are two jujube trees planted in the yard. Every September, the jujube trees are full of jujubes.

Perhaps because of his memory, Zhou Tian particularly likes the jujubes from these two jujube trees. Each one is sweet and refreshing and you will never get tired of eating them.

"Grandpa and grandma, we are back!"

Before they reached the door of their home, their younger brother and sister suddenly ran towards their grandparents' house, shouting as they ran.

"Be careful, don't fall!"

Zhou Tian couldn't help but shout when he saw San Xiao running so fast.

"I know, brother!"

The three children responded one after another, ran to the gate of the yard, pushed open the door and ran in.

Zhou Tian shook his head helplessly, pushed the cart, and quickened his pace. Just as he pushed the cart to the door of his house, he saw his grandparents running out of the house.

When they saw the three little girls in the yard, their kind faces were immediately filled with joy, especially the old lady, who stepped forward and hugged the two youngest, Xiaoting and Xiaoyu, into her arms, smiling happily, "Oh, whose boy and girl are these? Why are they so cute?"

"Grandma, have you forgotten? I am your granddaughter and he is your grandson. We are not from someone else's family, but from our own family!"

Zhou Ting, who was hugged by her grandmother, said seriously with a look on her face.

"Oh, they are my granddaughter and grandson. I thought they were lucky dolls from a painting. They are so cute!"

The grandmother looked at her granddaughter in her arms, and her smile became even brighter. She let go of the two little ones and turned around and said, "Old man, what are you still standing there for? Hurry up and take your grandchildren into the house. It's too sunny outside! Be careful that the children don't get heatstroke!"

"I'm coming right now. Can't you see that I ran out without even putting on shoes? Why are you rushing me?"

As grandpa said this, he took Sanxiao into the house barefoot, put on his shoes, and quickly ran out.

Seeing Zhou Tian pushing the cart into the yard, he quickly ran over and said, "Xiaotian, come and let grandpa help you get it!"

"No need, Grandpa. It's not heavy. You take a rest. I can do it myself!"

Zhou Tian hurriedly stopped him, saying that there was not much of this stuff and it was enough for him alone. If the old man happened to sprain his waist, it would be his fault.

"Oh my god, let the old man take it, he's in good health!"

The grandmother was persuading him from the side, and looking at her eldest grandson, her face was full of smiles, and her happiness seemed to be overflowing.

"Yes, your grandma is right. Your grandpa is still in good health. What does this little thing mean?"

Having said that, no matter how much Zhou Tian tried to dissuade him, he still took the cloth off the back seat. However, when looking at the cloth in his hand, Grandpa was suddenly a little surprised.

"Old lady, come and see what your eldest grandson brought you?"

Grandma listened to Grandpa's call and took a few steps forward. When she saw the things on the back seat of the bicycle, the smile on her face suddenly stopped. She looked at Zhou Tian and asked, "Grandson, why don't you live like this? Why did you buy so much cloth? It's enough to make so many sets of clothes, you loser!"

As he said this, he walked up to him and patted his arm with concern.

"Grandma, this amount of cloth is not much, it's only enough to make six sets of clothes. And you can see that the clothes you and grandpa are wearing are already patched up. It's time to make new clothes. And look at Zhou Jun, Zhou Min, Zhou Hu, Daya and Xiaoya from my second uncle's family. They don't even have a decent piece of clothing. How can this be possible?"

As Zhou Tian spoke, he reached out and took the old lady's thin hand with only dry skin in his hand, and said with a look of heartache.

"And now your grandson is already a master chef in a steel mill, earning over 800,000 yuan a month. Are you still worried that your grandson won't have enough to spend?"
