He is the protagonist's younger brother.

"I'm going to look for Li Sen and we're going to eat outside at noon."

After he finished explaining, he turned the corner and disappeared from his eldest brother's sight.

"You little bastard." Zhou Tianzhi scolded with a smile.

When Professor Qiu met Tianyi, he told him privately that the boy had good talent but was too casual and needed to be supervised.

Zhou Tianzhi agreed with this and changed his original plan for his brother's future education.

Zhou Tianyi, who knew nothing, went to a newly opened game hall with his friends and played happily until the sun was high in the afternoon.

After dinner, his father took him, who was covered in a strange smell, to the bathhouse to wash, soak and brush his teeth.

If Mr. Zhou hadn’t said anything, Tianyi wouldn’t have noticed that there was something wrong with the smell on his body after returning from the game hall.

Fortunately, my brother was not at home, otherwise my going out to play would have been discovered and I would have been beaten for sure.

After pasting Spring Festival couplets at home and storing New Year’s goods, keep the house clean and tidy inside and out.

On the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, the family packed up, carried New Year's goods, and got on the bus back to the village to celebrate the New Year.

"Big brother, persuade your grandparents to come back to the city with us after the New Year. They are old, and it is not convenient for them to buy medicine and see a doctor in the village."

On the way back to the village, Zhou's mother gave Zhou Tianzhi a difficult task.

Father Zhou was silent for a while, then said, "Don't force it, just do your best."

My parents are old and find it difficult to leave their hometown. They are not used to city life.

They cannot force others to do anything. The most important thing is that the elderly live comfortably and to their satisfaction.

Zhao Lijuan frowned slightly and said dissatisfiedly: "You know shit, the two old people came to our house, got along well with the neighbors, and kept the house clean and tidy.

Besides, the world is not safe. The little boy needs someone to pick him up from school, the grocery store needs someone to keep an eye on the house.”

Father Zhou smiled awkwardly and pulled his wife's hand: "Aren't we both here?"

Zhao Lijuan shook him off: "The boss said that a few days ago, there was an abandoned factory near my home. Following the professor, I made great contributions and was rewarded with two houses. I will go there with him when school starts."

"What about me?" Zhou's father asked anxiously.

He wants to be with his wife. If there is no waiter at home, it doesn't matter whether the store is open or not.

Tianyi held two boxes and looked up at his father.

I never expected to be glared at fiercely.

With an innocent expression, she pursed her lips and said, "Brother, look at our dad? He's like bubble gum. He sticks to mom and I can't get him off even if I button him."

Zhou Tianzhi patted his brother's head, raised his eyebrows and smiled meaningfully.

The cold dog food blew towards the brothers along with the north wind.

At the entrance of the village, Zhou's uncle was waiting early on his tricycle.

My uncle is thirty-four years old this year. He is very thin and can’t gain weight. His skin has been tanned from years of farming.

Whenever he sees people, he always smiles naively. Don’t be fooled by his thinness. Tianyi has seen his uncle Xia Tian, ​​and he sees his strong arms when he works, and he looks very energetic.

"Brother, sister-in-law." He greeted them and swiftly carried the New Year's goods they brought into the car.

After letting the two little brothers get in the car and sit down, he smiled and waved to Zhou Zhengmin and his wife: "I'll take Xiaozhi and Tianyi away first."

My uncle's personality was as impetuous as his behavior. He left my brother and sister-in-law behind and rode away on his bike.

Tianyi turned around and waved at his parents mischievously: "Mom and Dad, please walk slowly. Don't be in a hurry."

Zhou Zhengmin: "You little bastard."

Zhao Lijuan looked aside, ignoring her younger son's winking expression.

During the Spring Festival, the whole village is filled with a festive atmosphere and full of laughter.

Tianyi and his cousin Zhou Tianfeng, who is two years younger than him, successfully joined forces.

The two little ones were so excited that they ran around the village like wild horses, jumping from one house to another.

He gathered a group of like-minded friends, went up the mountain to set traps for rabbits, went down to the river to break ice holes to catch fish, and dragged dry branches to the river to light a bonfire to roast fish.

After two days of crazy play and wanton indulgence, Tianyi brought:

His cotton shoes were soaked, his cotton pants were frozen below the knees, his clothes had lost their original color, his face was covered with two patches of high altitude red, and he stood in front of his mother with a runny nose.

The two mothers, unable to bear it any longer, took brooms and beat the two naughty kids on their butts.

Tianyi looked at his brother with tears in his eyes and asked for help, but it was of no avail.

He ran around the house trying to hide, but ended up jumping up and down like a monkey in the palm of Buddha, unable to escape the beatings from his parents.

My own mother was so cruel, she totally disregarded the beautiful day which was New Year’s Eve.

Tianyi lay on the kang and groaned, while Wukong beside him meowed and laughed at him.

In the sea of ​​consciousness, it spoke unscrupulously: "Hey, host, this is the first time that the system has seen a tasker who was beaten for seeking death. Don't you feel ashamed and embarrassed?"

"It's okay. I have someone to accompany me." Looking at his little cousin who had been crying for an hour and whose eyes were swollen like little light bulbs, he was in a good mood at the moment.

Zhou Tianzhi brought the bowl into the room, sat on the edge of the kang next to him, and showed his brother what was in the bowl: "Mom rewarded me with brown sugar poached eggs, and I have some too, little sister."

The corners of his mouth lifted, and his smile grew wider.

"Hey~ You are no longer my favorite brother." She turned her head away from him.

Tianyi didn't crave eggs, but he was angry.

In the middle of the kang not far away, my cousin Tianfeng shouted, "Wow~ Woo woo woo... I want a fried egg and brown sugar water, wow woo woo woo."

The two brothers looked at each other, and Tianyi laughed: "Whoever caused it will deal with it."

He rubbed his spanked butt, which had been hurt by his laughter.

Zhou Tianzhi gave half to his cousin and saw his brother's little action: "It's his due."

Trying not to laugh out loud, I pushed the door open and went to the kitchen to help.

Wu Kong: "Hehe...brother is right, the host deserves to be beaten."

He reached out and picked up the gloating kitten, and rubbed it.

He gritted his teeth and smirked: "How dare you laugh at me? You don't want to get involved anymore, right?"

The sound of firecrackers popped, and occasionally a double-kick firecracker flew into the sky, shaking the glass windows.

The whole family celebrated the New Year with great enthusiasm, and grandparents had smiles on their faces these days.

My grandparents have a very high seniority in the village, and there is a constant stream of people coming to our house to pay New Year’s greetings during the first week of the new year.

Tianyi couldn't pretend anymore. Early in the morning, before dawn, his brother lifted his warm quilt.

The three brothers went out to pay New Year's greetings, walking from the beginning to the end of the village.

"I envy my younger sister because she doesn't have to get up early." Tianfeng muttered on the way.

Tian Yi raised his hand and patted the back of his head: "Little sister is only five years old, there is no point in being envious, you didn't get up when you were five years old either."

"Hey, second brother, be gentle, don't do anything on New Year's Day." He was not angry, and jumped towards Tianyi's back with a smile.

He has a particularly good relationship with his cousin Zhou Tianfeng.

As soon as my little cousin learned to walk, I played with him. We didn't separate until Tianyi went to school. We got together again during the winter and summer vacations every year.

Entering the new year of his eleventh year, Tianyi had a very enjoyable time. Apart from a slight pain in his butt, it was a very fulfilling year.

On the morning of the fourth day of the New Year, they boarded a bus back to Anshi.
