Siheyuan Great Craftsmen

"Look at me, I'm so mad at you, come in!"

As Song Lian spoke, he slapped his forehead, glared at Zhou Tian, ​​and then welcomed the two of them in. After they sat down on the sofa, Song Lian poured them a cup of tea.

Then he continued, "Xiaotian, don't worry. Since this young man is your cousin, your brother Song will definitely take good care of him. But Xiaotian, the thing you asked me to bring to the old leader last time made the old leader very happy. He asked if you have any requests. If so, he will definitely help you. The old leader hopes that you can study more in that direction!"

Song Lian said this, and since Zhou Min was there, he couldn't explain it specifically, so he could only use that instead. However, as he spoke, he couldn't help but reveal a hint of embarrassment on his face.

In fact, he also felt that the suggestion put forward by the old leader was a bit shameless. After all, Zhou Tian was the deputy section chief of the technical department of the steel rolling mill, not a member of the military factory.

The younger brother has already designed two firearms, which he thinks is worthy of the old leader's appreciation. But now such a request has been made, and he really doesn't know how to start.

Zhou Tian fell silent as he listened to Song Lian's words. In fact, he had already anticipated Director Zhang's idea. However, as Song Lian thought, he was ultimately still a steel mill. If he focused more on weapons research, then the time he spent on research on industrial equipment would naturally be reduced. This was simply unrealistic for him.

To put it bluntly, the reason why he gave Director Zhang the design drawings of two types of firearms in succession was that he couldn't bear it and didn't want to see the Peninsula War with huge casualties like in his previous life.

However, he thought it was impractical not to research weapons. After all, he himself had a dream of becoming a great power.

However, it was difficult to grasp the degree of this. After thinking about it, he still said to Song Lian: "Brother Song, I can't give an accurate answer to this matter. After all, you know that I am still a steel mill worker, so I can only say that I will try my best, but I can't say to what extent I can achieve it!"

"Well, just do your best!"

Upon hearing this, Song Lian nodded in understanding. In his opinion, his younger brother had done well enough, and whether he agreed or not, it would not affect his friendship with Zhou Tian.

"Then Brother Song, I'm sorry to bother you with my cousin's matter. You know, I still have things to do, so I won't stay any longer!"

As he spoke, Zhou Tian also stood up and prepared to say goodbye. The person had already been sent over, and the rest of the things would be basically the same whether he was there or not. He believed that Song Lian would not treat his cousin unfairly.

"Okay, but Xiaotian, why are you meddling in other people's business?"

Just as Song Lian was about to speak, Zhou Tian glared at him. He immediately understood what was going on and shut up, not daring to say anything more.

"Brother Song, that matter will take some time. I will come to you after I finish the design."

Zhou Tian said this and gave Zhou Min some more instructions before turning around and leaving Song Lian's office.

After leaving the office, Zhou Tian did not stay outside for long. He first went to the third workshop to learn about the production progress of the boring machine and then gave some instructions on the production process. Then he returned to his office and continued to draw the drawings of the rocket launcher.

As he drew more drawings, Zhou Tian had more ideas. Gradually, he began to be dissatisfied with the design of multiple rocket launchers and began to think about designing a single-barrel rocket launcher.

However, thinking about what would happen next with the boring machine, he could only suppress the impulse in his heart temporarily.

Perhaps he will have to wait until this busy period is over before he has the time and energy to start the next stage of design!

Time passed quickly and it was time for lunch. In the cafeteria, Zhou Tian saw Zhou Jun and Zhou Min coming to eat. Then he remembered that he seemed to have not paid them for their meal yet.

He quickly stepped forward and gave each of them RMB 100,000, and asked about their work situation. After knowing that both of them were doing well, he left the cafeteria with peace of mind and returned to his office to continue drawing the blueprints.

When you concentrate on your work, time always passes very quickly.

It was not until the bell for the end of get off work rang that he came back to his senses from the data in the drawings. He tidied up the drawings at hand and put them into the space.

After leaving the office, he pushed his bicycle and walked towards the gate of the steel mill. When he arrived at the gate of the steel mill, he saw his second uncle and aunt, Zhou Jun and Zhou Min waiting there.

"Uncle and aunt, why haven't you come home yet?"

When Zhou Tian saw his uncle and aunt, he was stunned for a moment. You know, the canteen of the steel mill usually only provides lunch when there is no overtime, and the canteen's closing time is nearly two or three hours earlier than theirs.

"Isn't today your first day at work? Your second aunt and I want to wait for you to go home together!"

Zhou Weimin said with an excited smile on his face.

"But......"

Zhou Tian was about to say something, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he saw the excited looks on his second uncle and his wife's faces, so he swallowed the words back. He knew that if he said it out loud, it might hurt his second uncle and aunt's feelings, so he shook his head and helplessly pushed his bicycles towards home with the four of them.

As they walked, Zhou Tian asked the four people about their work situation at the steel mill. When he heard that everything was going very well, a smile appeared on his face.

"By the way, Xiaotian, your second aunt and I want to move out next month when we get our first month's salary!"

When we were almost home, my second uncle suddenly spoke.

"Why, Uncle, aren't you happy living at home?"

After hearing what his second uncle said, Zhou Tian asked with a somewhat depressed heart. He thought he had no complaints about his second uncle's family living at home, but his second uncle wanted to move out, which made him not know how to express his feelings for a moment.

After all, they have lived there for so long, and to be honest, he was reluctant to see his second uncle's family move away.

"Xiaotian, it's not what you think. It's mainly because your second uncle and his family always live in your house. It's really unacceptable!"

Zhou Weimin naturally saw the expression on his nephew's face and could only explain helplessly.

It would be fine if he was staying there for ten days or half a month, but staying there forever was really against his principles as a human being, not to mention living in his own nephew's house.

People who know him would say that his nephew is filial, but people who don’t know him would think that he is trying to seize his nephew’s family property.

"Yes! Xiaotian, this was decided after a long discussion between your second uncle and me. At first, we wanted to rent a house outside, but it was hard to find a house in the old city, and you and grandpa kept persuading us, so we stayed. But now there are four workers in our family, and it's really unreasonable for us to still live in your house!"

Upon hearing this, Second Aunt also advised.

"Brother, I think what my parents said is right!"

At this time, Zhou Min and Zhou Jun on the side also spoke up.

Although they lived comfortably in their eldest brother's house, it was not their own home after all, and they lived very restrainedly. Now that they had a job, they naturally wanted to move out. On the one hand, they didn't want to attract criticism, and on the other hand, they wanted to be more free.

Zhou Tian remained silent while listening to his uncle's family's thoughts. Although he understood that what his uncle's family said made sense, for some reason, he just didn't want them to move away.

But if he didn't let them move out, his second uncle's family might feel uncomfortable, which was not right. After thinking about it, he felt relieved. Perhaps his thoughts were a little selfish, and he had not noticed the discomfort of his second uncle's family when they lived in his house. Thinking of his second aunt's diligent appearance every day, he couldn't help feeling a little guilty, so he stopped objecting.

"Forget it, just move it!"
