Siheyuan Great Craftsmen

"Look, I got this with great difficulty!"

Zhou Tian ostentatiously took out the meat from his backpack and handed it to Shen Yulin.

"Boss, why did you buy so much meat? Where did you get it from? Isn't meat from the meat processing plant no longer available?"

Shen Yulin happily took the meat and started to look at it. Especially when she saw that it was mostly fat, her pretty face lit up with joy.

Although the family was not really short of meat, the problem was that it was not easy to take out the meat openly. But this meat was different. It was bought by my husband from outside, so there was nothing to be afraid of.

"Okay, stop looking. Let's fry some more meatballs for the kids this afternoon, and save some for braised pork and stewed meat. We'll try to make sure the kids have enough to eat this year!"

Seeing his wife happy, Zhou Tian felt an inexplicable sense of satisfaction in his heart and gave her instructions.

"Okay, I get it. Don't I feel bad for the kids?"

Shen Yulin gave Zhou Tian a speechless look, turned around and walked into the room with the meat.

In the afternoon, Zhou Tian and his wife were busy all afternoon and fried a lot of meatballs.

On the 29th, the whole family and Chang Wen began to clean the entire courtyard and put up couplets. Fortunately, there were many people, but even so, it took them a whole day to clean up the courtyard.

In the evening, everyone gathered together and had a lively dinner. Although the food was not rich, it was still good.

On the 30th day, Zhou Tian got up early in the morning as usual to wake up the children and practice Xingyiquan together.

After practicing Xingyiquan, Zhou Tian took the children to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought twenty strings of firecrackers with a thousand bangs each. Along the way, the eight little ones were very happy, holding the firecrackers happily, and returned home amid the envious eyes of many other children.

At noon, we had a quick meal and everyone was looking forward to dinner.

Zhou Tian looked at his family and felt a little bored. He suddenly thought of mahjong. It seemed that he should make some entertainment tools for his family. However, after taking a look at the little ones playing happily, the thought that had just arisen in his mind was extinguished again.

He really knows the appeal of mahjong too well. If one has good self-control, then it might not matter. But if one has poor self-control, then bringing out mahjong will harm others. Instead of doing that, it is better to...

Thinking of this, a series of Three Kingdoms chess and cards, as well as Gobang, checkers, etc. flashed through his mind.

Zhou Tian did what he thought and stood up and walked outside.

"Boss, what are you going to do?"

Shen Yulin saw her husband get up and walk outside, and couldn't help but ask him with concern.

"Go make you something nice!"

As Zhou Tian spoke, he walked out of the main house without looking back and came to the front yard. He took out a piece of huanghuali from the space in the back house at the edge, picked up the carpentry tools, and started working.

If you want to make chess and card games, actually playing cards are the best. But during the New Year, there is no place to make them. Even if you can make them, it is inevitably inappropriate to make them in this era. It is better to make them with wood.

Soon, after measuring the size, Zhou Tian picked up the saw and started sawing.

Zhou Tian’s actions naturally attracted the attention of Chang Wen and others. When they saw that their leader had actually started doing handicrafts, they all gathered around him.

"Commander, what are you doing?"

"Make some toys for your entertainment!"

Zhou Tian continued to work without raising his head. The movements of his hands were as smooth as flowing water, full of a strange beauty.

As modules of the same size were made, Zhou Tian thought of his grandfather and father-in-law's hobbies and decided to make chess as well.

After he had made the Gobang, checkers, chess, and Three Kingdoms games, he realized that it was already evening. Surrounding him at the moment were not only the old man and father-in-law, but also eight little ones.

"What is everyone doing here?"

Zhou Tian packed up his tools, looked at everyone and smiled.

"What else to do? Watch my oldest grandson build toys for us, of course!"

The old man smiled nonchalantly. Upon hearing this, his father-in-law and Chang Wen couldn't help but laugh. In fact, they also knew that Zhou Tian's words were just a metaphor, but they didn't expect the old man to answer him with this reason.

"Grandpa, you are really... I made this chess set for you, but it seems you don't want it!"

Zhou Tian was speechless after hearing the old man's words, but since he was his grandfather, what else could he do? He could only threaten him with the chess set.

"Hey, hey, hey, come on, grandson, grandpa was wrong just now, you shouldn't do this!"

The old man's face immediately fell, and he smiled bitterly, "Your grandpa only has this one hobby, you can't be like your grandma and deprive grandpa of this hobby!"

"Dad, what is this?"

Zhou Tian was just about to speak when eight little guys came running over and started asking questions while looking at the checkers on the ground. The appearance of the checkers really made them feel very strange.

"This is checkers, a Western recreational activity, just like our country's chess!"

As Zhou Tian answered, he put all the tools and remaining wood in his hand back into the back room.

"Dad, can we play this?"

Zhou Zhiyi looked at the checkers in his hand and asked curiously.

"Of course you can, but you can't play now. I haven't even finished it yet!"

Whether it is checkers, chess, Gobang, or the cards of Three Kingdoms, we have just made a model. It will probably take a few more days to complete them all.

"Commander, we don't recognize the things you made except for some chess. Why don't you tell us the rules of these things?"

Xiao Wu at the side couldn't help but ask. As a chess enthusiast, Xiao Wu liked new things very much. Seeing the leader making so many novel toys, he was always itching to know the specific ways to play.

"Yes, Commander, tell us about it!"

Chang Wen, Chang Wu and others also became interested instantly and spoke.

"Fine!"

Seeing that everyone was interested, Zhou Tian was in no hurry to take the checkers, gobang and cards back to the back room. He sat on the rocks and explained and demonstrated to everyone how to play various chess games.

As for checkers and gobang, except for the eight children, the others had no interest. But when it came to the chess and card game of Three Kingdoms, Chang Wen, Chang Wu and the old man became interested.

Especially the ways in which the lord, loyal ministers and rebels played, which made them all open their eyes wide and look very interested.

As a strategy game from the previous life, Three Kingdoms Kill is obviously more popular with Chang Wen and others.
