Siheyuan Great Craftsmen

Since Zhou Zhidong, Zhou Zhixi and Zhou Zhibei did not skip a grade, after they graduated from high school, they relied on their uncle Liu Wei's relationship to get temporary jobs in the municipal government.

Three years later, exactly last year, the three of them were successfully converted to civil servants in Siju City and started to eat commercial grain. It was Zhou Tian's two youngest children who stayed in Siju City.

Zhou Zhiyu and Zhou Zhizhou are in their second year of high school this year. As they are not under Zhou Tian's supervision, they have shown their brilliance in their studies. They are no worse than their older brothers and sisters. At the age of just over eleven, they have skipped grades and become famous child prodigies in the city.

"I don't care. I'm not that comfortable in the barracks. I don't want to go back to the barracks. Besides, I've been transferred to the Northwest Military Region. This is my home!"

Zhou Zhiyi sat down on the sofa without caring about anything, picked up a bottle of Coke and started drinking. After drinking it, he burped comfortably and looked extremely satisfied.

"What, Zhiyi, you were transferred to the Northwest Military Region, how come I didn't know?"

Zhou Zhinan, who had just put down his luggage, was confused. He looked at his sister and asked. You know, he and his sister are in the same military region. Although his sister's rank is one level lower than his, he is still his sister's superior. He did hear about his sister's promotion and transfer order from the leader, but he didn't expect that his sister would be transferred to the northwest one step ahead.

"Humph, I won't tell you. Do you think I don't know that if I don't fight for it this time, you will beat me to the punch and be transferred to the northwest? I'm not stupid!"

Zhou Zhiyi snorted complacently at his elder brother Zhou Zhinan, pouted his lips and said with disdain.

In the past ten years, they have been through life and death in the border areas and have made countless contributions. They have won second-class merits at least a dozen times, and first-class merits two or three times. As for third-class merits, they have lost count. If they were not young and lacked experience, they could have been awarded general medals with their merits long ago. Now they are only lieutenant colonel and colonel, which actually means that their superiors are deliberately suppressing their growth.

This is also the reason why the two were transferred to other military regions this time, just to let them settle down for a few more years. Because Zhou Zhiyi is a girl, the higher-ups considered for a long time before transferring her to the northwest.

On the one hand, I hope she can spend more time with her family, and on the other hand, I hope they can consider their own personal affairs as soon as possible. After all, they are already at the age to start a family.

"You little girl!"

Zhou Zhinan was so angry when he saw his sister's arrogant look that he could only sigh helplessly, picked up his luggage again and walked upstairs.

The others looked at the bickering between Zhou Zhiyi and Zhou Zhinan, and all laughed. Then they followed Wu Yue'e and Qin Huairu to settle down.

After settling the children down, it was time for lunch.

Zhou Tian went to the kitchen to cook, and the family started chatting on the sofa while watching TV. After a while, six little kids came in. When they saw the visitors, they ran over excitedly calling out "brother and sister".

These six little kids are the fruits of Zhou Tian’s love with his three daughters. Among them are Shen Yulin’s twin boys, Zhou Zhiyan and Zhou Zhiyan; another pair is Wu Yue’e’s twin daughters, Zhou Zhihui and Zhou Zhiru; and Qin Huairu’s twin boys, Zhou Zhijing and Zhou Zhimin.

Perhaps because the previous few births were all sons, these three pairs of twins have more daughters than sons, and are even more loved by the family.

Soon, all six little ones were snatched up by their older brothers and sisters.

It was not until Zhou Tian brought out the food that the dozen or so children quieted down. Looking at them eating with their mouths full of oil at the table, Zhou Tian couldn't help but feel a sense of happiness in his heart.

Especially when he looked at Zhou Zhiqiu, Zhou Zhinan and Zhou Zhiyi, his eyes were full of satisfaction and pride, but then he felt a little lost. After all, they had all grown up, and it was time for them to start a family without realizing it.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and forced a smile as he watched the family finish the meal. Only Shen Yulin's three daughters, the three people who were by his side, seemed to notice something unusual about their husband, but they didn't say anything.

It was not until the afternoon, when the children went out shopping and the four of them sat on the sofa in the living room, that Shen Yulin began to ask.

"Boss, I noticed that you seemed a little absent-minded after lunch. What happened?"

After hearing what their eldest sister said, Wu Yue'e and Qin Huairu couldn't help but look at their husbands with their beautiful eyes full of concern.

"It's nothing. I just feel a little uncomfortable when I think about the fact that Zhiqiu, Zhinan, and Zhiyi are about to get married!"

Zhou Tian did not hide his feelings and expressed them directly to his three daughters-in-law. However, he did not expect that he would be laughed at by the three daughters-in-law as soon as he spoke.

"Head of the family, as the saying goes, men should marry when they are old enough, and women should marry when they are old enough. People say that you men are reluctant to let your daughters get married, but I've never heard of you men feeling uncomfortable when your sons get married."

"Yes, husband, we all know that you are reluctant to leave your children, but you are still like this when your son is getting married. Isn't it a bit exaggerated!"

Qin Huairu, who was standing by, didn't say anything, but she nodded in agreement.

"What do you know? How can I be reluctant to let my daughter get married, but I'm willing to let my son get married? I treat them equally. Besides, aren't there many cases where sons forget their mothers after they get married? Besides, we can't live together after my son gets married, so is there anything wrong with me not being willing to let him go?"

Zhou Tian is not a man who favors boys over girls, but he is not a father who favors girls over boys either. He believes that sons are important, but daughters are equally important. They are all his children, and he feels reluctant to see any of them leave him.

What people call a woman getting married or a son getting married, in his view, is leaving home to form a new family. In the final analysis, in his mind, every time a daughter is married off and every son gets married, it is undoubtedly the division of the family.

Every time he thought about the lively family, in the end there would only be four of them left, he felt a little uncomfortable, not to mention that he could go live with his son or his daughter after she got married.

In his opinion, the happiest and most blessed time for a family was when they were together. If they had met a good daughter-in-law or son-in-law, it would have been fine. But if they had met an unfilial daughter-in-law, he couldn't imagine the life of the four of them in their later years.

Although today's society, due to Zhou Tian's suggestions, traditional customs and the laws compiled at this time have changed a lot under his guidance, he still dare not gamble on human nature.

Then the only way is to let them help the children to keep track themselves.
