"Yes, second uncle, this is our new home. Our whole family will live here from now on." Zhou Tian said with a smile.

Grandpa, grandma and second aunt finally came to their senses, their eyes filled with surprise and disbelief.

The two-story courtyard house before them had obviously been meticulously renovated. Just by looking at it from the outside, they could sense the ingenuity of the original designer of the courtyard house. The entire courtyard house looked grand and solemn!

Before liberation, ordinary people like them could not afford to live in such courtyard houses.

"Oh, my eldest grandson is really promising!" Grandma held Zhou Tian's hand, full of relief.

"Grandpa and grandma, uncle and aunt, stop looking, let's go in!"

As he spoke, Zhou Tian stepped forward, took out the key, opened the door, and walked in first.

Everyone walked into the courtyard and looked around. Grandpa nodded and said, "This courtyard is spacious and comfortable to live in."

Zhou Tian took everyone to the central courtyard and introduced the layout of each room.

"This main house is for grandpa and grandma to live in, and the east and west wing rooms are for my second uncle, my second aunt, my younger brother and sister and I to live in. I also renovated the back house, and three of them can be used for living, but the light is a little dim. The other two can be used as storage rooms!" Zhou Tian said.

The second uncle listened to Zhou Tian and shook his head: "Xiaotian, you just need to settle your grandparents. As for us, your second aunt and I plan to rent a house!"

"Yes! Xiaotian, your uncle and I are already very grateful that you can arrange a job for us, but it's really not appropriate for us to live here any longer!"

Second Aunt looked at the courtyard in front of her with envy, but she said in agreement.

Although she also wanted to live in such a courtyard house, she still had to save her dignity, especially since Zhou Tian was their nephew. She was already surprised and delighted that Zhou Tian had arranged four workers for their family. If she continued to live here, it would be a bit too much. Besides, she was not that kind of person.

After all, Zhou Tian is just a nephew, not a son.

"Uncle, Aunt, it's hard to find a house in Sijiu City right now. How about you live here for a while and move out when you find a house?"

Zhou Tian frowned unconsciously when he heard his second uncle and second aunt say this. His original idea was to let his house in the courtyard house to live in his second uncle's family, but he was afraid that the people who were following him would cause trouble for his second uncle and his family and put them in danger.

He is protected by the country, but his second uncle and the others are not. If something happens to his second uncle and the others, Zhou Tian will be in danger of death.

"Okay, stop arguing, Weimin, listen to your nephew and stay here first until you find a house!"

When the grandfather heard what his eldest grandson said, he obviously felt something was wrong and changed his words.

"Okay then, I'll listen to Dad!"

Zhou Weimin thought about it and agreed. As for his second aunt, she was also supposed to obey her husband after marriage. Since his second uncle had no objection, she naturally had no objection either.

After things were settled, Zhou Tian began to settle down with his family. When they saw the layout of the main house and the east and west wing rooms, everyone was shocked.

"My goodness, Xiaotian, how much did it cost you to transform all the houses into this?"

Seeing that the layout of each room was the same as what he had seen in the courtyard house, Zhou Weimin couldn't help but be amazed.

"Okay, Uncle, I won't tell you how much it cost. The rooms have been arranged, so let's start decorating them!"

Zhou Tian didn't dare tell them the specific expenses, as he was afraid of scaring them.

Grandpa and grandma wisely didn't ask. Although the two old people were also worried whether their eldest grandson's money had been spent, they still had to save some face for him in front of his second uncle and aunt.

Soon, the family put away all their luggage and returned to the yard, sitting together and discussing lively, their words full of anticipation for a new life.

My cousins ​​were running around the yard excitedly.

After chatting for a while, Zhou Tian suddenly remembered that he still had a lot of daily necessities to buy.

"Okay, grandpa and grandma, uncle and aunt, you guys take a rest first. I'll go buy some daily necessities." Zhou Tian said, and prepared to leave.

"Grandson, is it too much? If it is, let your uncle go with you!"

Seeing her eldest grandson was about to go out, the grandmother asked with concern,

"Grandma, it's not much. Don't worry, I will take care of it. You and Second Uncle are tired, so just take a rest! I can do it by myself!"

Before Zhou Weimin could speak, Zhou Tian rejected his grandmother's suggestion and left by pushing his bicycle.

After leaving home, Zhou Tian bought a lot of daily necessities in the nearest store, including pots, pans, and utensils. Pots were definitely the most purchased items, as well as daily necessities such as rice jars and water jars, as well as bedding. It can be said that he bought everything he could think of.

After the purchase, Zhou Tian hired two cart drivers, loaded two carts full of daily necessities, and pushed his bicycle back home.

"Hey, grandson, how many things have you bought? Are you tired of living like this?"

As soon as I arrived at the door, I saw the grandmother who was worried about her eldest grandson was already waiting at the door. When she saw the two carts of things Zhou Tian bought, she couldn't help but feel distressed.

"Grandma, these are all necessities of life, you can't save them!"

Zhou Tian looked at his grandmother who had a distressed look on her face and couldn't help but explain.

"Weimin, Xiaojun, Xiaomin, come out and move the things!"

Although the grandmother felt distressed, since her eldest grandson had already bought it, she couldn't say anything and could only stand at the door and shout inside.

"I'm coming!"

Following grandma's shouting, Zhou Weimin, Zhou Jun and Zhou Min ran out soon.

Zhou Tian smiled at his second uncle and two cousins, then he and the two cart drivers unloaded the things on the cart and started moving them into the yard.

With the help of my second uncle and his son, the work went much faster. After sending the two cart drivers away, the family began to sort out the daily necessities in the yard, putting what should be put away and taking what should be brought into the house.

Half an hour later, all the daily necessities had been packed up. Zhou Tian then sat down to rest for a while. When he looked at the time, it was already eleven o'clock in the morning.

Thinking that the vegetables and rice had not been prepared in the kitchen, Zhou Tian couldn't help but curse himself for being careless. He entered the kitchen when his grandparents, uncle and aunt were not paying attention, put the water jar and rice jar into the space, cleaned them, and then filled them up. However, it was not tap water but spiritual spring water, and then he took it out again.

He also took out some pork, chicken, duck, fish, rabbit and various vegetables and put them in the cupboard, then nodded with satisfaction.

As for the wood for burning, Zhou Tian had already replaced it with coal, which he neatly stacked on the side of the kitchen near the stove. There were a full three tons, enough for the family to burn until next spring.

After everything was settled, Zhou Tian was about to start cooking when his second aunt rushed in. Seeing that Zhou Tian was about to cook, she immediately drove Zhou Tian out of the kitchen.

"Xiaotian, Auntie can cook for you. Go out first. You've been tired all morning. Go and talk to your grandparents for a while."

Having said that, he pushed Zhou Tian out without further ado, causing Zhou Tian to smile bitterly. However, he had no choice but to agree and turned to walk towards his grandparents.

As soon as he walked to his grandparents and second uncle, he heard his second aunt in the kitchen shouting in panic: "Mom, come in!"

"I'm here, I'm here, come here, grandson, please sit down. Grandma will go see what your second aunt wants."

The grandmother responded by standing up and pulling her most beloved grandson to sit down, then she walked towards the kitchen.

"Xiaojuan, what's wrong? You're so startled!"

As grandma said this, she walked into the kitchen and saw the second daughter-in-law looking at the rice flour in the jar in panic.

"Mom, please keep your voice down, look!"

Seeing grandma come in, Second Aunt immediately pulled grandma and pointed at the rice and flour in the jar and the pork, chicken, duck, fish and rabbit in the kitchen cabinet.

"Oh my, why is there so much meat and this white flour!"

Grandma hurried forward, reached out her hand to take out some white flour from the rice jar, rubbed it on her fingertips, and said with some heartache: "This is the best refined flour! Look how white it is, it's a waste, it's really a waste!"

"Yes, mother, don't you think it's inappropriate for us to eat such refined noodles? Besides, there are chicken, duck, fish, rabbit, and pork. I have seen them, they are all top-quality pork belly!"

Second Aunt also felt heartbroken and sobbed. It was really too extravagant!
