Siheyuan Great Craftsmen

Since the three of them wanted to learn, Zhou Tian couldn't help but do it himself. He also wanted to see if he could really teach the three of them.

After agreeing on the daily teaching time, the three of them turned around and left.

In the blink of an eye, it was already 4:30 in the afternoon and it was almost time to get off work. Just when Zhou Tian had packed up the drawings and was about to leave work, Zhang Mingzhi hurriedly walked into the office.

"Dean, the vocational school has been completed. Do you think we should contact the teacher?"

"Vocational school?"

Zhou Tian was about to stand up when he paused slightly. He then remembered that the institute had originally applied to establish a vocational school. He did not expect it to be completed so soon. But when he thought about it, it was not that fast. After all, it had been three or four months. According to the time, it was indeed time.

"Lao Zhang, what are you going to do?"

Although he had already made up his mind, he still looked at Zhang Mingzhi.

After all, one person's shortcomings are often surpassed by two others'. After being shocked by the design drawings of Jiang Long and the other two just now, he would never dare to underestimate the people of this era again.

"Dean, do you think we can apply to the Ministry of Education for teacher support on the one hand, and let the technicians in the factory or the institute take over on the other hand?"

Zhang Mingzhi also knew the above difficulties and offered suggestions.

"This is indeed a possible solution, but I don't think it will be easy for us to apply for a teacher!"

After several talent applications, Zhou Tian actually no longer had any hope of applying to the higher-ups for a teacher position. However, after thinking about it, he did not reject Zhang Mingzhi's suggestion. After all, he could give it a try whether he got the offer or not. What if the higher-ups agreed?

Besides, even if the higher-ups don't agree, they have solutions. However, this will only make the technical staff work harder.

"Okay, I'll do it right away!"

When Zhang Mingzhi heard that the dean agreed, he turned around and left in a hurry.

At this moment, the music for the end of get off work sounded. Zhou Tian had no intention of continuing to work overtime, so he picked up his backpack, left the office, and rode his bike back home.

When he got home, Zhou Tian felt something was wrong at the first moment. There was no one at home. This made him feel a little uneasy. You know, on normal days, even if there was an emergency, there would always be someone at home, but today there was no one inside or outside.

Did something happen? Or did everyone in the family go out? The more he thought about it, the more anxious he became. He turned and walked towards the front yard.

"Chang Wen, Chang Wen!"

"Chief!"

As soon as he called out a few times, Chang Wen immediately came out from the east wing of the front yard and saluted Zhou Tian.

"Okay, stop being so polite. Do you know where my family has gone?"

Zhou Tian didn't have time to be polite with Chang Wen, so he asked directly.

"Report to the commander, the old man and the old lady took your children and daughter-in-law to visit your parents' graves early this morning!"

Perhaps Chang Wen sensed Zhou Tian's uneasiness, and he did not hide it.

"Going to the grave, what day is it today?"

Zhou Tian was stunned by Chang Wen's words and asked quickly.

"Report to the Chief, March 3rd!"

"Stop talking about that. I'm asking about the lunar calendar!"

Zhou Tian waved his hand impatiently.

"February 18th of the lunar calendar!"

"February 18th, isn't this the anniversary of my father's death?"

Zhou Tian was stunned for a moment, and this day suddenly came to his mind. If Chang Wen hadn't mentioned it today, he would have even forgotten that today was the anniversary of his parents' death. Of course, it's not that he really forgot, but he had been deliberately avoiding this day.

Because this has always been a pain in his heart that he never wants to mention, so even during the Qingming Festival or ancestor worship every year, he would avoid this time.

It's not that he is unfilial, but he can't get over the hurdle in his heart. He will never forget the scene of him and his brothers and sisters being in excruciating pain when his father was dying. He doesn't want to experience it a second time, mainly because that day was too unforgettable. Whenever he thinks about it, he can feel the excruciating pain in his heart.

Of course, it could also be a psychological factor. In short, as long as he avoids this day, he can face it calmly at other times, except on this day.

Therefore, in the past few years he has never mentioned visiting the grave on his father's death anniversary. On weekdays, he would also numb himself with work on this day, but he did not expect that his grandparents would bring the whole family there this year.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but take a deep breath, pushed the cart and turned to walk outside.

"Commander, where are you going?"

Chang Wen saw Zhou Tian pause for a moment, then walked outside and couldn't help but shout.

"Go to the grave!"

Zhou Tian said without turning his head, left home, rode back to the research institute, and drove directly to Zhoujia Village.

Along the way, he drove very fast, but before he drove out of Sijiu City, he saw a carriage on the way into the city. He immediately stopped the car, opened the window and shouted to the carriage: "Uncle Youcai, Uncle Youcai, Grandpa!"

It turned out that the people sitting in the carriage were grandparents, mother-in-law, daughter-in-law and three children. The driver was Zhou Youcai from Zhoujia Village.

"Xiaotian, why are you here?"

Seeing Zhou Youcai stop the carriage, Zhou Tian immediately stopped the car on the side of the road, got out, and ran towards the family.

"Grandpa and grandma, why didn't you call me when you went to visit the grave? What if something happened to you and your children? What should I do?"

When he arrived in front of the carriage, Zhou Tian couldn't help but scold his grandparents with red eyes before they could explain.

You know, at this time, although the environment around Sijiu City has been stabilized, the spies and enemy agents have not been completely cleared out. Zhou Tian himself has been targeted by enemy spies. If something happens to his family, he really doesn't know what to do.

"Okay, Xiaotian, isn't it okay? I know you've always felt a little uncomfortable about this day because of your father's matter, but people have to look forward, so grandma didn't blame you for not going in the past few years, but this year is different. Our Zhou family is going to have a new member, so grandma wants your father to be happy down there!"

Naturally, the grandmother also noticed her eldest grandson's worry and couldn't help but comfort him.

In fact, she and her husband had long seen through their eldest grandson's knot. After all, he would take everyone with him to the ancestor worship and Qingming Festival every year, but the eldest son's death anniversary was an exception. So the two elders discussed it directly and decided that if they wanted to break their eldest grandson's knot, they had to take drastic measures.

This is how the scene happened today. After all, the eldest grandson can't keep carrying this knot in his heart. There is still a long way to go in the future, and they don't want their eldest grandson to be unable to face it.

"Grandpa and grandma, okay, let's stop talking and go back!"

Seeing that his grandparents were about to bring it up again, Zhou Tian suppressed his inner discomfort and forced a smile. He stepped forward to pick up the three children from the carriage, and then helped Shen Yulin down. Only then did he look at Uncle Youcai.

He took out a box of Daqianmen from his pocket, threw it to him and said, "Uncle Youcai, thank you for your help!"

Zhou Youcai took the cigarette Zhou Tian threw over, looked at it first, his eyes suddenly lit up, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, aren't we all from the same village? Especially since Fifth Master is my elder, it's my honor to pick him up!"

"Well, then take the person away. Uncle Youcai, you can go back now!"

After saying that, Zhou Tian sent the entire family into the car first, then waved to Zhou Youcai and drove towards Mianhua Hutong.

Along the way, perhaps knowing that the eldest grandson was in a bad mood, no one spoke in the car. Even the three children who had already started to act a little naughty, in such an atmosphere, just snuggled tightly in the arms of their mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, without saying a word.
