Siheyuan Great Craftsmen

Of course, Zhou Tian was just joking. In fact, he understood his grandparents' thoughts very well. This is what is meant by the relationship between generations.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Zhou Weimin and his second aunt brought Zhou Jun, Zhou Min and his wife to the courtyard to pay New Year's greetings to their grandparents. When they saw the five-courtyard courtyard where Zhou Tian lived, they all showed envious looks.

"Brother, your courtyard is really big. I just checked and there are at least 20 rooms. It's much more spacious than where we live!"

Zhou Jun followed behind Zhou Tian and kept talking.

"Why? Do you want to move in with big brother?"

Seeing Zhou Jun's face full of longing, Zhou Tian couldn't help but ask jokingly.

"This, this is not necessary, I prefer to be more comfortable!"

Are you kidding? He finally got his freedom for a few years, how could he possibly find someone to restrain him?

"You are already grown up, and Tilinaza has given you a son. It's time for you to settle down and stop caring about yourself. You are already so grown up, but you still act like a child!"

After listening to his elder brother's lecture, Zhou Jun was speechless. He knew that everyone in the family would give him a lecture when they saw him. However, he could do nothing about it because he had done things unreliably in the past.

"Okay, big brother, don't lecture me anymore. I have changed. Now I hand over my salary in full every month, and I won't do it again in the future!"

In the end, he could only beg for mercy again. If it were his parents, he might have talked back, but facing his eldest brother, he really didn't have the courage or confidence.

After my second uncle and his family finished paying New Year's greetings to my grandparents, the family sat in the house and talked about work.

After years of training and learning, and with the care of Uncle He, my second uncle is now a chef and team leader in the steel mill's kitchen. My second aunt has also moved from being a cutter to a pastry chef specializing in steaming buns.

As for Zhou Jun, he is still in the transport team, but he has been promoted to a level five driver, with a monthly salary of 61.4 yuan. A short-distance trip is 0.6 yuan, and a long-distance trip is 1 yuan, which adds up to nearly yuan, which is not a small amount.

As for Zhou Min, who has been working in the security department of the institute for the past few years, after making several contributions, he has long been the captain of the first brigade of the security department, with the rank of a section-level cadre. He is also listed as the deputy director of the Hongxing Street Police Station.

It can be regarded as the first step into the official career.

It can be said that after several years of hard work, my second uncle’s family has undergone tremendous changes in their lives.

Listening to the changes in his second uncle's family, to be honest, Zhou Tian was very happy. After all, a harmonious family is the key to success.

"Uncle, you can say that your career at the steel mill has come to an end. After all, the highest chef level at the steel mill is only level six. What do you think of next? Do you want me to transfer you out and make you the canteen director of a branch factory under the research institute?"

"Come on, Xiaotian, I am not good at anything. I know myself well. Being a chef is my greatest ability. I feel like I am dreaming. I want to be the canteen director. Please forgive me!"

When Second Uncle Zhou Weimin heard this, he immediately refused.

"Yes, Xiaotian, your uncle and I have been working in the steel mill for so many years, and we don't plan to move. Besides, your uncle is now a level 6 chef, which is enough for our family to live on. Don't bother us!"

Second Aunt also agreed. In recent years, due to the disturbance caused by her family, she has gradually realized that no matter how close her family is, they are not as close as her own family.

Now, apart from hoping that her sons will have a successful future, she doesn't want to consider anything else.

"What about you, Xiaojun? Do you need to come to the research institute?"

Seeing that his uncle and aunt refused, Zhou Tian did not force it anymore, but looked at Zhou Jun instead.

"Brother, please don't. I am very comfortable in the steel mill now. I don't want to go to the research institute!"

Zhou Jun naturally understood his elder brother's thoughts. After all, even a branch factory under the research institute would have better treatment than the steel rolling mill. But the problem was that his second brother had already gone to the research institute, so he would not go there to cause trouble for his elder brother.

Seeing that his second uncle's family had rejected his proposal, Zhou Tian could only suppress his thoughts and continued to look at Zhou Hu, Daya and Xiaoya. Zhou Hu is fifteen years old this year, Daya is thirteen years old, and Xiaoya is eleven years old.

Before we knew it, the three little guys had grown up.

"Second Uncle, Xiaohu, how are Daya and Xiaoya doing in school now?"

"What else can I do? Da Ya and Xiao Ya are okay, but Xiao Hu is a blockhead. Now I have used my connections to get him a job as an apprentice in a furniture factory in Sijiu City!"

The second uncle was smoking a pipe. He felt ashamed when he talked about it. His nephew's family, except for the eldest nephew, the other three nephews and nieces were all college students, but his family, on the other hand, had no one who was successful. He felt helpless when he thought about it.

When Zhou Hu heard what his father said, his face turned red and he didn't dare to look at his elder brother.

"Then Daya should be in the first grade of junior high school this year, right? How about it, does Daya have the confidence to pass the examination of a technical secondary school?"

Looking at the pretty little girl who has grown into a graceful and pretty young lady, Zhou Tian finds it hard to imagine that this is the same little girl with a runny nose.

"Brother, I have confidence!"

When Daya heard her eldest brother's question, she immediately made a solemn promise with shining eyes.

"Okay, you're really good. If Daya gets admitted to a technical secondary school, big brother will give you a reward! And the same goes for Xiaoya!"

Zhou Tian said with a smile, and as he spoke, he touched Daya's little head and looked at Xiaoya encouragingly. As for the others, they smiled and watched the interaction between the three siblings.

The reason why Zhou Tian said this was that he knew very well that if Daya went to school as usual, it would be unrealistic for her to be admitted to university. If the country really stopped recruiting students in university in 1965, she would only be a senior high school student at that time and would have no chance to go to university.

Xiao Ya also has a chance, but it's just a matter of timing, if everything goes well.

At noon, my second uncle cooked for the first time and prepared a sumptuous meal. The family had lunch happily. In the afternoon, my second uncle and his family said goodbye and left.

In the afternoon, Zhou Tian took Zhou Yu, Zhou Ting, his wife and children to visit his master's home to pay New Year's greetings. Zhou Tian had long regarded his master as a relative. He suggested several times that his master live with them, but was rejected by his master in the end.

After all, the master also has his own son. If he really lives with his apprentice, it would be unacceptable no matter how you look at it.

At the master's house, Zhou Tian's family was warmly received by the master, especially the master's wife. When she saw the little ones, she hugged them and refused to let go.

After having a meal at the master’s house, Zhou Tian and his family said goodbye before it got dark.

When Liu Wu came back after seeing Zhou Tian's family off, he saw his wife staring at a pile of food coupons on the table in a daze.
