Siheyuan Great Craftsmen

Even though Shen Jie had seen his son-in-law's lavish spending, he was still stunned by the sumptuous New Year's goods.

Zhou Tian just smiled slightly and didn't say much. After going back and forth twice, the two of them finally moved all the New Year's goods in the car into the kitchen.

"Okay, Dad, go do your thing, and I'll take care of the rest!"

After everything was settled, Zhou Tian saw his father-in-law rubbing his waist and couldn't help but burst out laughing, but there was an indescribable weirdness in his eyes.

"Alas, as I get older, my waist is no longer useful. Okay, I'll leave everything to you. I'll leave first!"

Shen Jie felt uneasy at the look in his son-in-law's eyes, and when he heard his son-in-law's teasing laughter, his old face turned red, but he still forced himself to add something, and then he walked out of the kitchen quickly as if fleeing. Zhou Tian couldn't help laughing when he saw this, and he burst into laughter again.

In fact, even if his father-in-law didn't say anything, Zhou Tian could see the reason. After all, his mother-in-law was so beautiful, it would be strange if his father-in-law Shen Jie didn't have sore waist.

After laughing, Zhou Tian waited for his father-in-law to leave, and then he sorted out all kinds of meat, and then took out a few chickens from the mysterious space. Compared with the New Year's goods he prepared in previous years, this year's preparations were indeed more abundant, with chicken, lamb, fish, and meat, everything was available.

After cooking the meat, Zhou Tian began to prepare dinner for the day.

After dinner, they played with the children for a while as usual before returning to the bedroom.

Lying on the bed, Shen Yulin saw that her husband did not continue to draw the blueprint as usual, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Boss, have you finished your blueprint?"

During this period, her husband Zhou Tian would start drawing as soon as he returned to the bedroom every night. She had become accustomed to it. But looking at her husband's expression today, it was obvious that he was not going to draw anymore.

"Well, it's done!"

Zhou Tian nodded, took off his clothes, and lay down on the bed, sighing contentedly: "I haven't felt so comfortable in a long time. It's so comfortable to lie in bed!"

"Pfft!"

Hearing her husband's sigh, Shen Yulin couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Come on, you're acting as if I've wronged you. You've been working so hard, isn't it all your own fault?"

"What do you mean you asked for it? I'm doing this just to make more money for my family."

Zhou Tian was immediately unhappy with his wife's words. He sat up and argued.

"Tsk, you want to make more money for the family? Your reason is really far-fetched. If you really want to make money, then you can't make it without hard work?"

Shen Yulin said this with disdain on her face, and it was obvious that even she herself did not believe it.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this. Okay, wife, go to sleep. I'm exhausted today!"

Seeing that he couldn't win the argument with Shen Yulin, Zhou Tian simply used his ultimate move. He suddenly fell onto the bed and closed his eyes.

December 28th.

In the blink of an eye, there are only two or three days left until the Chinese New Year.

As the New Year is approaching, many workers are looking forward to this year's benefits, especially those who have just moved into new homes, who are looking forward to a new beginning with the New Year.

"Dean, the New Year is coming soon. Shouldn't we distribute the benefits of our institute?"

In the morning, as soon as Zhou Tian stepped into the office, Song Weiguo and Zhang Mingzhi walked in together.

"It's time to send it out. By the way, have all the benefits been shipped back?"

Listening to Zhang Mingzhi's words, Zhou Tian hung his coat on the wall and asked casually.

"Yes, they have all been shipped back. There are eight full trucks carrying a total of 32 tons of sea fish, and 15 trucks carrying a total of 64 tons of mutton! As for cloth, a total of 5,000 pieces were transferred from several textile factories!"

Zhang Mingzhi blurted out all the information as if he knew them all by heart.

"so much?"

Zhou Tian had just sat down on the chair when he heard Zhang Mingzhi's report. He was startled and looked surprised.

"Dean, it's not that much actually. If we give out one pound of fish, two pounds of mutton, and three feet of cloth to each person, there won't be much left!"

Zhang Mingzhi hurriedly explained.

"In that case, since they have all arrived, you two should arrange for their dispatch as soon as possible. I will not be involved."

Zhou Tian thought about it for a moment, did some mental calculations, and realized that there was indeed not much left, so he nodded in agreement.

"Okay, then we'll start distributing them this afternoon!"

The three of them agreed on a time and then went their separate ways.

In the afternoon, a message came over the radio, informing everyone that they could start receiving the benefits at 2 p.m. As soon as the news came out, the workers who had been eagerly waiting for the benefits cheered and rejoiced. They even forgot about their work and started speculating in the workshop about the content of the benefits.

Some workers asserted that pork would be distributed this time, just like last year; others speculated that there might be something else. But no matter what the speculation was, everyone's eyes were shining with happiness and longing.

The workers' discussions naturally attracted the attention of the workshop director, but considering that everyone had worked hard for a whole year and there were instructions from the factory leaders, he turned a blind eye to the situation and no longer intervened.

In fact, deep down in their hearts, they are also looking forward to this benefit.

After all, last year's welfare had made workers in other factories in the city envious, and they were confident that the dean would not let them down this time.

In the afternoon, seeing that the workers were not focused on their work at all, Zhou Tian made a prompt decision and decided to give everyone an afternoon off so that the workers could collect their benefits and return home early.

As the decision was communicated, the workers gathered in groups of two or three and swarmed towards the logistics department.

At exactly two o'clock, the logistics department was already surrounded by workers who poured in like a tide.

In order to maintain order, all the security personnel had to be mobilized to stabilize the order at the scene.

Soon, as the name of the first worker was called out, the welfare of the institute was finally unveiled - one pound of fish, two pounds of mutton, and three feet of cloth. After hearing the news, even the most picky workers had to marvel at the generosity of the institute.

It is true that the benefits this time are too generous. Not to mention the one pound of fish, you have to know that although this is a city, there are very few people who can eat fish on weekdays. Even if there is a chance to taste it, most of them are freshwater fish, not this rare sea fish.

Although eating fish consumes a lot of oil, this was not the era of the later years when supplies were scarce and everything required tickets, so everyone could still afford some cooking oil.

Not to mention the mutton and cloth, mutton is a delicacy in winter, and it is a wonderful thing for a family to sit together and share a mutton dinner. As for the cloth, it is also the icing on the cake for everyone.

After all, fabrics have not yet been included in the planned supply scope, so everyone can still buy some.

Based on these three welfare items alone, they can assert that the welfare benefits of the institute this year have surpassed those of 99.49% of the factories in the city.

As the names of the workers were called one by one, the workers who received the benefits happily carried fish, mutton and cloth, laughed and talked with each other, and left the institute one after another, striding towards their homes.

It was not until four o'clock that all the benefits of the institute were distributed, and all the workers had left the institute with the benefits.

In the entire institute, only the staff from the logistics department and a few vice presidents such as Zhou Tian were left.

Everyone then divided the remaining benefits among themselves, and then left the institute and started their journey home.

"Boss, this is your institute's welfare this year? Why is it so much this time?"

When Zhou Tian walked into the backyard carrying a few fish in his left hand, half a sheep in his right hand, and three pieces of cloth under his armpits, Shen Yulin, who was playing with the children in the yard, saw this and asked in astonishment.

"Yes, this is the welfare of our institute this year!"

Zhou Tian raised the corner of his mouth, revealing a rather complacent smile, and responded.
