The reason why Zhou Tian could tell at first sight that Liu Wei was his uncle was because Liu Wei looked very much like his mother, especially his pair of willow-shaped eyebrows, as if they were carved from the same mold.

"Xiaotian.....me!"

Liu Wei wanted to speak, but when facing his sister's three children, he didn't know how to open his mouth. His complicated emotions made him have no idea how to face them.

After all, he was not by their side when they needed their loved ones the most. This unspeakable sense of guilt made him unable to muster the courage to recognize them.

"Uncle, come in quickly!"

Seeing his uncle's conflicted expression, Zhou Tian naturally guessed what he was thinking. He smiled and didn't care. Instead, he stepped forward, grabbed his uncle and Hong Tao's arms, and brought his family into the house to welcome them both.

"Xiaotian, you've suffered a lot these years!"

After entering the main room and asking the two to sit down, Zhou Tian poured a glass of water for each of them and then sat down next to them.

"It's not bitter, what's bitter about it?"

Zhou Tian shook his head and looked at his family with happiness in his eyes: "As long as my family can live well, I think it is worth it even if it is hard and tiring!"

For him, the only hardship was during the period when his father passed away. Later, as his locksmith skills improved rapidly, he basically never suffered any hardship again.

"Xiaotian, it's your uncle who is sorry for you. Your uncle will definitely make it up to you in the future!"

Although the eldest nephew spoke in a light tone, he could imagine that life would be hard for a 15 or 16-year-old child with three younger brothers and sisters.

If you put yourself in his shoes, even if he were an adult, he wouldn't feel at ease, let alone a child.

"Uncle, you don't have to say that. I only heard my mother talk about my uncle when she was still alive. But later, after the liberation of Beijing, my father brought us to Beijing to find my uncle. Unfortunately, we asked around for several years but didn't get any news about my uncle!"

Talking about this matter, Zhou Tian was very calm. After all, he knew how many families were separated during the period just after liberation. This was caused by the times and no one could be blamed.

And it is enough for him that his uncle can recognize them today. Compared with many families, this is already lucky.

Perhaps because he felt that Zhou Tian did not blame him in his heart, Liu Wei's heart was instantly at ease, and his uneasy mood calmed down. He told Zhou Tian everything that had happened to him over the years, including how he and his sister were separated, how they went to the border, and even how he came back to the old city and how to find them.

This made Zhou Tian thoroughly understand his uncle's past, and at the same time, the last trace of doubt in his heart disappeared completely. He couldn't help but completely understand why his family had the deed to a two-story courtyard house.

It turned out that this was the former property of his mother's family. He said that according to his father's family, there should not be a deed for a courtyard house with two entrances.

As for the fact that his uncle was going to serve as the district mayor of Changping District, it only surprised Zhou Tian for a moment.

At noon, the two of them had a meal at home. Zhou Tian originally wanted his uncle to stay, but was rejected by his uncle.

After the meal, Liu Wei and Hong Tao said goodbye, and left the courtyard with Zhou Tian's family reluctant to let them go.

Sitting in the car, Hong Tao couldn't help but exclaimed: "Xiaowei, your nephew is really not simple. I don't know if you noticed that when we just entered the courtyard, several people in the front yard looked at us, and each of them looked not simple!"

"Okay, Lao Hong, I don't care who Xiaotian is. I just know that he is my nephew!"

Liu Wei shook his head. As for the people in the front yard, if Hong Tao could find them, how could he not find them? But to him, everything else had nothing to do with him.

As long as Xiaotian and his family are fine, that’s the best.

Not to mention the emotions expressed by Liu Wei and Hong Tao along the way, after Zhou Tian saw them off, he returned to the main room and saw his grandparents, father-in-law and mother-in-law, younger brothers and sisters, and his wife all looking at him with worried eyes, which made him confused for a moment.

"What's wrong with everyone? Why are you all looking so weird?"

Zhou Tian couldn't help but look at everyone curiously and asked.

"Xiaotian, your uncle came back, but didn't he say anything?"

Grandma couldn't help but ask first.

"Grandma, what else can I say? Okay, everyone, stop gossiping. Xiaoyu and Xiaoting, you guys should clean up the dishes. Let's all take a break!"

He knew that his grandparents had developed the habit of taking a nap over the years, so seeing that it was getting late, he immediately told Zhou Yu and Zhou Ting to start working.

Seeing that Zhou Tian was really fine, everyone went back to their rooms to rest.

In the west wing, on the bed, Zhou Tian and Shen Yulin coaxed the three children to sleep. Shen Yulin looked at her husband and asked, "Boss, are you really okay?"

"It's okay!"

Zhou Tian turned his head helplessly and looked at Shen Yulin: "I know what you are worried about. After all, it has been so long since my mother's incident. I have recovered a long time ago. What's more, it is a good thing that my uncle can come and recognize us. How can I be sad?"

Obviously, everyone's behavior just now was because they were afraid that his uncle's arrival would trigger his bad memories, but as for this matter, he could only say that they were overthinking it.

After all, he had been used to it for so many years, so there was nothing to be sad about. Moreover, as he had just said to his wife, this was a good thing and it fulfilled one of his mother's wishes before her death, so he would not be sad at all.

"That's good, but head of the family, do you think that when my uncle comes this time, can he live with us?"

Since her husband's mood was not affected, she couldn't help but raise a practical question.

"That's for sure. After all, my uncle doesn't have many relatives except us. If he doesn't live with us, I won't feel at ease with him being alone!"

Zhou Tian was very open-minded about this matter. In fact, he had discovered the problem with his uncle as early as his uncle came. Although he did not deliberately learn medical skills over the years, there were many medical books at home. Even if he flipped through a few books when he was bored, with his extraordinary understanding, his medical skills had surpassed many so-called Chinese medicine practitioners.

What's more, he also established a traditional Chinese medicine university in Changping. If he did not have a certain foundation in traditional Chinese medicine, how could he convince those so-called miracle doctors and let them contribute their own heritage?

"That's true, but if my uncle moves in, I'm afraid our courtyard house won't be able to accommodate him!"

Now that the children have grown up, they need their own personal space. Although there are still a few empty rooms in the courtyard, if you really think about it, there may not be enough rooms!
