Siheyuan Great Craftsmen

In addition to the money, there are five large yellow croakers and ten small yellow croakers below the RMB. If exchanged according to the market price, Zhou Tian's wealth can be regarded as a billionaire, which is equivalent to a millionaire 58 years later.

However, in Zhou Tian's eyes, although there was a lot of money, it was not worth his attention. What mattered to him most were the two house deeds at the bottom of the box.

One of the photos shows three rooms in the courtyard, while the other shows a courtyard with two entrances and a separate house.

He carefully picked up the two deeds and looked at them. Although he had looked at them many times, he was still shocked that the parents of this body could own such a courtyard house.

You know, this is a two-story courtyard house with its own entrance and exit. He doesn't know where his parents got it. According to his memory, his parents should not have any rich relatives.

Even in his memory, his grandparents had always lived in the countryside, and it was impossible for the family to have so much money or own a courtyard house with two entrances. But the reality was that before his father died, he gave him this box and told him not to open it until he grew up.

It was not until he started working that he opened the box against his father's wishes. It was also the first time he realized how rich his family was.

After all, in his memory, his father was just an ordinary fitter in a steel rolling mill, and his mother died of heavy bleeding when giving birth to his younger sister.

"Oh! I don't know whether it is good or bad to have so much money in this era!"

After taking out one million, Zhou Tian carefully put the box back to its original place, restored the layout of the house, opened the door and walked towards the kitchen.

Zhou Tian's kitchen was in the ear room. He opened the kitchen, washed a cabbage first, then took three potatoes and started cutting them.

With the rhythmic sound of chopping, the cabbage and potatoes were soon neatly arranged on the chopping board.

I got some dry wood from outside, lit the stove, brushed the iron pan with hot water, carefully poured a little oil, and then started to stir-fry.

Although it was called stir-fry, in fact it was just two simple dishes, one was braised cabbage with vinegar, and the other was spicy and sour shredded potatoes. It was not that Zhou Tian didn't want to give his younger brothers and sisters something good to eat.

But he didn't dare to do so. Even though it was 51 years now, not 55 years later, and even if he ate something good now, nothing would happen, but he had to know what kind of people were his neighbors.

The neighbors could smell clearly which family ate something good. One year after his father passed away, in order to provide some nutrition for his younger brothers and sisters, he cut two pounds of meat and made a meal of meat and potatoes stew.

My goodness! As soon as he opened the door, he saw a group of children gathered outside. If it were adults, it would be easy to deal with, but facing a group of skinny and pale children, he simply couldn't bear to do it and could only give each of them a little.

In the end, they could only taste one piece of the two pounds of pork each. From then on, Zhou Tian no longer dared to cook hard dishes in the yard.

Even though he would rather take his younger brothers and sisters to eat at a restaurant outside than to fry meat dishes in the yard, it was because he was afraid. Therefore, he would rather become poorer, at least so as not to attract the attention of the neighbors around him.

Gradually, as Zhou Tian changed, he no longer attracted the attention of his neighbors.

"Brother, we are back!"

Just when Zhou Tian had finished steaming the buns made of two-grain flour, the voice of his second brother Zhou Hao came from the yard.

"Go wash your hands when you get back, the food will be ready soon!"

Zhou Tian said without turning his head.

"understood!"

Zhou Hao responded and took his third brother and fourth sister back home to wash their hands.

By the time the three of them had washed their hands, Zhou Tian had already brought the food to the table. Looking at his thin younger brothers and sisters, he couldn't help feeling uncomfortable.

Sometimes, he really wanted to move out with his younger siblings so that he could provide them with nutrition, but when he thought of the various policies that followed, he had to suppress his impulse.

If he moved out with his younger brothers and sisters now, he believed that the house here and the courtyard house might not belong to him anymore.

"Okay, let's eat!"

Seeing that his younger brothers and sisters had already sat down, Zhou Tian filled a bowl for each of them.

"Thank you, brother!"

The younger brothers and sisters took the bowls, each took a steamed bun, and started eating quickly.

"Brother, your skills are getting better and better!"

Although the dishes were only braised cabbage with vinegar and spicy shredded potatoes, the three of them were extremely satisfied with the meal, especially the third brother Zhou Yu, who couldn't stop eating.

In fact, it’s no wonder that his younger brother and sister are like this. After all, although Zhou Tian could cook in his previous life, his skills were average. Even though he deliberately learned it from short videos, the food was still only edible.

However, since he awakened his past life memories, he didn't know why, perhaps it was the superposition of two souls, in any case his comprehension had tripled. In just over two years, not only his locksmith skills, but also other aspects had made great progress.

Just like cooking, with the same seasoning and the same technique, the dishes he cooks are always delicious, even comparable to the chef of Taifenglou. He Daqing from the Central Courtyard once commented on two of Zhou Tian's dishes, saying that they had reached the level of a master chef.

He also persuaded Zhou Tian to give up locksmithing and learn cooking from him, but Zhou Tian was unwilling to do so.

After all, for him, the reason for cooking is just to make his younger brothers and sisters eat better. Although he can't often cook meat dishes in the yard, he can only try to cook the vegetarian dishes better.

“If it’s delicious, eat more!”

Zhou Tian was very pleased when he saw his younger brother and sister's satisfied faces, and he shared some of the food in his bowl with each of them.

"Brother, you eat too!"

Sister Zhou Ting saw that her elder brother kept picking up food for herself and her brother, and the food in her own bowl was getting less and less. She couldn't help but get anxious and wanted to share the food in her bowl with her elder brother.

"Okay, big brother, there's more!"

Zhou Tian rejected his sister's kindness, touched her head, and then took his lunch box.

As soon as it was opened, it immediately attracted the attention of my younger brothers and sisters.

"Brother, meat dishes?"

The second brother Zhou Hao suddenly shouted, and the third brother Zhou Yu and the fourth sister Zhou Ting couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

"Keep your voice down and eat!"

Zhou Tian looked at them with a smile and placed the lunch box in the middle of the table.

When Zhou Hao, Zhou Yu and Zhou Ting heard what their eldest brother said, they quickly picked up the fat meat from the lunch box with chopsticks and put it into their mouths, with a look of intoxication on their faces.

"Brother, the meat is delicious, but it doesn't seem as good as the vegetables you cook!"

After eating a piece of meat and feeling the taste in his mouth for a long time, Zhou Hao opened his eyes and said with a somewhat conflicted look on his face.

"Yeah! Big brother!"

Zhou Yu also echoed the sentiment. Although they had not eaten meat for a long time, when they put it in their mouths now, for some reason, they felt that it was not as delicious as the vegetarian dishes cooked by their eldest brother.

"Okay, don't worry about it. You need to replenish your nutrition, so just eat more meat!"

Zhou Tian looked at the three siblings with conflicted faces and couldn't help but stroke the third brother's head. Then he picked out the meat from the lunch box and gave it to the three little ones.

He started eating the cabbage in the lunch box. Although he felt that his own cooking was much more delicious than He Daqing's, filling his stomach was the most important thing for him.

As for the taste, he doesn't force it.

After dinner, Zhou Tian looked at Sanxiao who was about to wash the dishes, waved his hand and drove Sanxiao out, saying, "Go, you are still young, go do your homework, I'll leave this to my big brother!"

After saying that, he picked up the dishes with a smile on his face and went to the kitchen to wash them.

Among the three primary schools, the second brother Zhou Hao is twelve years old and is currently studying in senior primary school. The third brother is ten years old and has just entered the third grade. The fourth sister is eight years old and has just entered the second grade. She is a classmate of He Yushui from the Middle Courtyard.

Although the annual cost of sending three little ones to school is not a small amount, for Zhou Tian, ​​the most important thing is that his younger siblings are sensible, and everything else is not important to him at all.

As for the tuition, he could still afford it. However, it was precisely because the annual tuition and miscellaneous fees of the third primary school added up to a lot, so even if everyone in the yard knew that Zhou Tian had become an intermediate master in the steel rolling mill at a young age and earned a monthly salary of 540,000 yuan, they would not be envious.
