Siheyuan Great Craftsmen

"What, Lao Hong, are you telling the truth?"

Liu Wei's face changed instantly, and he grabbed Hong Tao's arm excitedly and asked.

"Of course it's true. Xiaowei, you fucking let go of my arm. I'm still driving!"

Hong Tao felt his arm tighten, and his hand, which was trying to shift gears, suddenly became difficult, and he couldn't help but curse.

"Ohhh! Sorry, I was too excited!"

Liu Wei suddenly came to his senses after hearing his childhood friend's scolding and let go. Hong Tao was relieved and said unhappily

"I say, you kid, do you want me to go with you to see my uncle and aunt? I have a wife and children, don't drag me along!"

"Okay, okay, I was too excited just now, I apologize, okay? Tell me quickly, what's the news about my sister? How is she now?"

After all, it was his own fault, so Liu Wei didn't care about Hong Tao's words. Instead, he asked impatiently.

Since the attack on Sijiu City nine years ago, he was only a deputy company commander. Because his parents died when he was young, he had been living alone with his sister. But who would have thought that during the attack on Sijiu City, due to mistakes made by their company, everyone in the company was dispersed.

He was rescued by a fellow villager at that time. After his sister learned of his disappearance, she went out to look for him alone, and the two eventually lost contact. In the blink of an eye, nine years have passed. During these nine years, he has regretted it all the time.

He regretted why he was not more careful and why he had to recuperate at his fellow villager's home. Therefore, he left the army and transferred to the local area. After the liberation of the city, he looked for his sister for a whole year, but there was no news of her.

In the end, his heart died all of a sudden. This was the reason why he took the initiative to ask to work in the border areas. He didn't expect that when he was already in despair, there were unexpected turns of events and he actually got news of his sister.

"Forget it, let's wait until we get back and ask the old leader!"

Hong Tao originally wanted to tell him the news about his sister, but thinking of the danger just now, he decided to postpone the news.

Liu Wei wanted to ask more, but seeing that Hong Tao refused to reveal anything from beginning to end, he could only suppress his excitement helplessly, and his expression became anxious.

When the jeep stopped at the compound of the Sijiu City Government, Hong Tao took Liu Wei straight to the second floor and arrived directly outside the mayor's office.

"report!"

...................

"Xiaowei, please accept my condolences. Although Xiaoting is gone, she left behind several children, didn't she? And now Zhou Tian is so successful. Even if your sister knew about this, she would be very pleased!"

After leaving the mayor's office, Hong Tao looked at Liu Wei, who had a sad face, and could only comfort him.

In fact, even he himself did not expect that Liu Wei's ancestors actually had such a family background. If the chief had not said in person that Liu's ancestors were once a famous family of miracle doctors, he would have thought that the Liu family, like his own, were poor people.

He still remembered the first time he went to the Liu family. He did not find any difference between their family and his. They both lived in a slum. But who would have thought that the Liu family actually had two courtyard houses in the old city.

"I'm fine. I just didn't expect my sister's life to be so miserable. And those four children. If I had known earlier, maybe my sister and brother-in-law wouldn't have to die so early!"

As Liu Wei spoke, he couldn't help revealing a hint of bitterness at the corners of his mouth.

Although he had expected it, he still hadn't recovered from the grief of his sister's death.

"Lao Hong, please accompany me for a walk!"

It took him a long time to calm down and look at Hong Tao.

"it is good!"

Hong Tao did not hesitate at all and nodded. The two of them went downstairs, got in the car and, under Liu Wei's guidance, drove all the way to Mianhua Hutong.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

They arrived at Mianhua Hutong and stopped the car. The two looked at the courtyard in front of them. Seeing that Liu Wei was still hesitant to move forward, Hong Tao took the initiative to step forward and knocked on the door.

"Who!"

As a sound came from inside, the door opened, and a young man in military uniform looked at the two people at the door in confusion and asked, "Comrade, who are you looking for?"

"Hello, we are from the city government. Here are our IDs. I would like to meet the owner of this place!"

Hong Tao looked at the soldier who opened the door and was startled. He quickly took out his ID and handed it to the other party politely.

"You want to see the chief?"

The soldier took the document and glanced at it, then glanced sharply at the two men.

"Yes, comrade, could you please inform me that this comrade is Liu Wei, and he is your leader's uncle!"

"Okay, then wait a moment!"

The soldier was startled when he heard this, and his tone softened a little. Then he closed the door under the gaze of the two men.

"My goodness, Xiaowei, your nephew really seems to have become a big shot. He even has a personal bodyguard around him!"

Hong Tao was knowledgeable after all. From the moment the soldier opened the door just now, he knew that things seemed to have changed. After all, according to the old leader, Xiaowei's nephew was just the director of a research institute. However, whether from the soldier just now or the other party's attitude, he realized that Xiaowei's nephew was not simple.

You know, at the local level, anyone who can have a personal bodyguard is always at the bureau level or above.

"Well, who knows what's going on, we'll see when the time comes!"

How could Hong Tao not know what he knew? Originally, according to the information told to him by his old leader, his nephew seemed to be a simple scientific researcher. But now it seems that things here are not as simple as his old leader said.

Just when the two were confused, the door opened again. The soldier opened the door completely this time, saluted the two and said, "The commander invites you!"

The two men looked at each other, then followed the soldier into the courtyard and walked towards the backyard.

When the two arrived at the backyard, they were instantly stunned by the scene in front of them. They saw eight children of different sizes looking at them with innocent eyes. In addition to the eight children, there were two boys and one girl aged fifteen or sixteen, two couples who looked to be in their sixties, two couples in their forties, and a couple in their twenties.

Especially the boy and girl who were fifteen or sixteen years old and the man in his twenties, their looks all gave Liu Wei an extremely familiar feeling, as if it was his own sister standing in front of him alive.

For a moment, Liu Wei was stunned, and even Hong Tao stood there in a daze.

"Are you Uncle Liu Wei?"

Seeing the appearance of the two people, Zhou Tian saw Liu Wei at a glance, and couldn't help but walked up and asked with some excitement.
