Siheyuan Great Craftsmen

After the group of women left, Zhou Tian went to Aunt Wang to get the bedding back, then began to get a basin of clean water and wipe the furniture. He was busy until the afternoon and didn't even have time to eat lunch.

After cleaning the whole house, Zhou Tian felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction when he saw that the house was obviously brighter and tidier.

After laying out the bedding for his younger brothers and sisters and folding the clothes neatly and putting them in the closet, Zhou Tian clapped his hands, went downstairs and locked the door.

To celebrate the completion of the house renovation, Zhou Tian planned to have a good meal today and went to the vegetable market to buy a pound of pork and a chicken.

I got home, opened the door, went straight into the kitchen, and started to get busy.

Originally, Zhou Tian planned to build the kitchen outside, but then he remembered that he would need to provide nutrition for his younger brothers and sisters in the future, and he would not be able to hide it that way.

If there were more children watching, he was afraid that he would not be able to resist being soft-hearted again, so he had to change his plan and move the kitchen into the dining room, close to the wall and adjacent to the dozens of square meters of wasteland behind the backyard.

A square recess was opened on the stove wall, three holes were made in the recess with a bamboo tube, and a wooden board was made in the front.

As long as he pulled the wooden board up while cooking, the aroma of the food would be discharged through the hole. Although he didn't know whether this would work, he could only try it.

First cut the meat into slices and start refining the oil. After a while, a rich fragrance instantly filled the entire room. However, as he pulled up the wooden board, a cold wind instantly blew in from the hole.

The scent began to fade.

"It seems to be of some use, but not much!"

Zhou Tian felt the effect and sighed.

Obviously his idea failed, but he was not disappointed. After refining the lard, he started cooking.

Half an hour later, a plate of stewed chicken, a plate of fried potato slices with meat, and a plate of spicy and sour cabbage were served on the table. At the same time, the steamer was opened and five white flour buns were taken out and placed on the plate.

After preparing the meal, Zhou Tian walked towards the central courtyard. He estimated that his younger brothers and sisters would be home from school soon. If he didn't pick them up, he was afraid that they would go to the He family again.

Sure enough, when he just walked to the middle yard, he saw his younger brothers and sisters holding hands and walking in from the front yard.

"Big brother!"

Seeing Zhou Tian, ​​Sanxiao ran over happily.

"Okay, let's go, our house is ready, let's go home for dinner today!"

Zhou Tian walked forward and stroked the little sister's head.

"Really? That's great, we have a new home!"

Upon hearing this, the third brother jumped up with joy and ran towards the backyard. Zhou Tian shook his head, took his younger sister's hand and followed behind with Zhou Hao.

"It's so beautiful, our new home is so beautiful!"

Before entering the house, he heard his third brother shouting inside. Zhou Tian smiled and walked into the house with his second brother and younger sister.

"Brother, our new home is so beautiful!"

When the third brother saw his eldest brother coming in with his second brother and youngest sister, he happily ran to his eldest brother and smiled happily.

At this time, the second brother and the younger sister were also shocked by the new look of the home, especially Zhou Ting, who looked at her eldest brother in disbelief.

"Brother, is this still our home?"

Zhou Tian naturally knew what his younger sister wanted to ask, and nodded and said, "Of course this is our home, why don't you like it?"

"I like it, big brother is so awesome!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Ting immediately laughed happily and looked at him with a happy look.

"Come on, big brother will show you around first!"

As he spoke, Zhou Tian took his younger brothers and sisters on a complete tour, and even after the tour, his younger brothers and sisters still felt a little unsatisfied.

"Brother, will we all have our own rooms from now on?"

After the visit, Zhou Hao still couldn't believe it, and looked up and asked,

"Of course. Okay, let's eat first! Oh, third brother, go to the middle courtyard and call Uncle He's family!"

Just as he was about to eat, he suddenly remembered that Uncle He didn't know that they had moved back to the backyard, so he instructed his third brother Zhou Yu.

"I know, brother!"

When the third brother heard what his eldest brother said, he opened the door and ran towards the central courtyard.

After a while, the third brother Zhou Yu came in with He Daqing and his family.

"Uncle He, I'm sorry, the house has been renovated, and I haven't even said hello to you before I brought my brother and sister back?"

Zhou Tian stood up and welcomed He Daqing and his family in. He waited until the He family sat down before he apologized.

"It's okay, Xiaotian, it looks like your house has been renovated quite well!"

He Daqing waved his hand, obviously not caring about this matter. Instead, he looked at the renovated house in front of him and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

As a famous chef, He Daqing had cooked for wealthy people before and had seen many luxury houses, but he had never seen a room layout like this one.

Especially the transformation of a three-bay back room into this made him feel excited.

As for He Yuzhu and He Yushui, they also looked at the renovated house with envy. They also wanted a house like this, but they couldn't make the decision.

"Uncle He, isn't it that my younger brothers and sisters are growing up and the room is a little too small?"

Zhou Tian smiled and said.

"But it's true, Xiaotian, you are smart enough to think of renovating the house like this. In my opinion, it won't be long before such renovations spread all over the street!"

He Daqing said with a smile.

Zhou Tian also knew that what He Daqing said was true. After all, many people visited his house today. Judging from the gossipy nature of the women in the yard, the news of his house's renovation had probably spread by now.

"But this kind of renovation is indeed a good thing for some families who currently have difficulty finding a place to live!"

He Daqing saw clearly that although the cost of renovating a house like this was not small, it was still less than the cost of buying a new house.

The Jia family in the middle courtyard.

"Dongxu, do you know? The Zhou family's house in the backyard has been completed today." Jia Zhang said as she looked at her son drinking porridge and eating steamed buns.

"What's wrong, Mom?"

When Jia Dongxu heard his mother mention Zhou Tian, ​​he couldn't help but stop and ask. He knew that whenever his mother had something to do, she would always lay the groundwork first.

Could it be that my mom has gotten into trouble with the Zhou family?

Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat. You know, their family can't afford to offend the Zhou family now, especially as Zhou Tian was promoted to the master chef in the factory. His status in the factory is higher than that of his master Yi Zhonghai.

"I went to take a look with several wives from other courtyards today. Do you know how the Zhou family renovated their house? Your mother, I think this is how we can solve the problem of housing difficulties?"

A mysterious look flashed across Jia Zhang's eyes.

"Mom, what do you want to say? Are you trying to take over the Zhou family's house?"

Jia Dongxu couldn't help but ask as he listened to his mother talking.

"How is that possible? Is your mother that kind of person?"

After hearing what Jia Dongxu said, Jia Zhang slapped Jia Dongxu on the back of the head.

"Even if I want to rob it, that Zhou family kid is not easy to mess with."

As she spoke, a trace of fear flashed in her eyes. She didn't want to end up like the Qian family.

"Since you didn't offend the Zhou family, why did you mention their house?"

Jia Dongxu was hit by his mother and asked with some grievance.

"I said that the Zhou family remodeled their house. If our family can remodel it according to the Zhou family's house, then we won't have a house to live in, right?"

As she spoke, Jia Zhang told Jia Dongxu what she saw at Zhou's house in the afternoon.

Only after listening to what Jia Zhang said did Jia Dongxu feel relieved. He felt that as long as his mother did not offend the Zhou family, it would be fine. As for renovating the house, Jia Dongxu did not care. Even if he wanted to renovate the house, the money was not in his hands.

"Mom, since you want to change, then change it, I have no objection!"
