Chapter 588 The time when the second brother left

Seeing that it was Liu Haizhong, Zhou Tian did not show any contempt for Liu Haizhong as he did in other novels. Instead, he smiled and said, "Yes, Master Liu, my cousin Zhou Jun's wife just gave birth to a big fat boy and is in confinement at my second uncle's house. So I came here specially with some milk powder and malted milk to take a look!"

As he spoke, he raised the net bag in his hand and motioned for the other party to take a look!

Liu Haizhong looked at the milk powder and malted milk in the net bag with envy and couldn't help but say.

"Xiaotian, your factory has good welfare. They even give out good things like this. By the way, Xiaotian, I heard from Shazhu that you got promoted again. Are you a big shot now?"

Liu Haizhong knew before that Zhou Tian was an official in the research institute, but at first he didn't think that Zhou Tian could become a high-ranking official in the research institute at such a young age, so he didn't take it seriously at first.

But three years ago, when Zhou Tian came to pick up his second uncle and second aunt for a family reunion, his wife accidentally saw everyone leaving in a jeep and told him about it.

Only then did he realize that Zhou Tian probably had a high status in the research institute. Of course, he did not think that the jeep belonged to Zhou Tian, ​​but even if it was not Zhou Tian's, he was able to borrow the jeep at such a young age, so he must be at least a confidant of the leader.

Yesterday, Sha Zhu brought milk powder and malted milk back to the courtyard to show off. Liu Haizhong couldn't help but say a few words. Sha Zhu inadvertently brought up Zhou Tian, ​​which made Liu Haizhong realize that the jeep actually belonged to Zhou Tian.

You have to know that in this era, officials who can enjoy the provision of cars are at least at the department level. This made Liu Haizhong, who wanted to be an official, instantly stunned. He had made so many calculations just to become an official, but who would have thought that the great man was actually by his side.

If he had known that Zhou Tian would become a high-ranking official and a leader, he should have helped the Zhou family more during those years when they were in trouble. Otherwise, why would he still be a worker now?

So Liu Haizhong returned to the courtyard as soon as he got off work that day, hoping to meet Zhou Tian and hoping that Zhou Tian would promote him as a neighbor.

As for whether Zhou Tian could do it, he had no doubts. After all, Zhou Tian was a department-level cadre, so promoting him, a small worker, was just a matter of a word. Even if he was not in the steel mill, it should not be difficult as long as he told the factory director.

"What big shot? Aren't they all serving the people?"

Zhou Tian just smiled and didn't care. As for why Liu Haizhong was so enthusiastic, he knew what he meant without even thinking about it.

However, he did not say much about this. Each factory has its own promotion standards and its own system, and he would not undermine this system. He could tell Director Yang to promote Liu Haizhong, which is not a difficult task, but the question is why should he say it?

Not to mention that Liu Haizhong has nothing to do with him, even if he does, he still has his second uncle and cousin Zhou Jun working in the steel rolling mill. He is not so stupid as to not promote his relatives and waste favors on irrelevant people.

"Xiaotian, you see, I have worked in the steel mill for more than ten years, and I am still a member of the working class. I also want to serve the people. Xiaotian, can you talk to Director Yang?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Haizhong immediately stepped forward and asked in a flattering manner.

"Master Liu, I'm sorry, every factory has its own rules. I can't possibly violate the rules to help you get in through the back door. I'm sure the second uncle doesn't want me to commit a crime!"

Zhou Tian said, his tone did not change, but for some reason, Liu Haizhong actually felt an inexplicable oppression, and could not help but take two steps back, smiling awkwardly: "Not really, not really! Why would Second Master do this? Wei Min is out, I'll go back first!"

After saying that, without waiting for any more nonsense, he turned around and hurried back into the house.

"You are such an idiot. Don't you think about it? You don't even have the identity of a worker-in-lieu-of-worker. How can you want to be a cadre?"

Looking at Liu Haizhong's somewhat embarrassed appearance, Zhou Tian murmured speechlessly.

"Xiaotian, what's wrong? I think I saw the Second Uncle just now. Does the Second Uncle want to talk to you about something?"

As soon as Zhou Weimin came out, he saw Liu Haizhong running back home in a hurry. He couldn't help but come up to him and ask curiously.

"It's okay, it's just that the second uncle wants me to say hello to Director Yang of your steel mill and let him be an official!"

Zhou Tian didn't care at all. He handed the net bag in his hand to his second uncle and said, "Uncle, this is the workers' welfare of our institute this year. I don't need it here. Xiaojun's wife just finished her confinement. I brought these milk powders over!"

"Xiaotian, what are you doing? Well, forget it. Second uncle won't be polite with you. It just so happens that Nazha's milk supply is just enough. I'm just worried that the nutrition will not be enough in the future. You have solved Second uncle's problem!"

Zhou Weimin originally wanted to refuse, but suddenly thought of his daughter-in-law's milk problem, so he could only accept it with gratitude.

"Uncle, we are all family, why are you being so polite? Okay, I'm leaving too, so please don't see me off, uncle!"

As Zhou Tian said this, he stopped his second uncle and turned to walk towards the front yard. Although his brother and sister-in-law could already be discharged from the hospital, there were still some taboos that Zhou Tian had to observe.

So I didn't go to my second uncle's house.

After leaving the Siheyuan, Zhou Tian suddenly thought of Qin Huairu for some reason. He hadn't seen Qin Huairu for such a long time. If he hadn't come to the Siheyuan this year, he would have probably forgotten about Qin Huairu long ago.

I don’t know whether Qin Huairu has married since he made things clear with her?

Originally he wanted to go to Qin Huairu's house to check on her, but then he thought that since everything had been made clear, it would be better not to contact her again.

He got in the car and returned home. It was already 6:30 in the evening. As usual, he had a happy meal with his family and played with the children for a while. Just as he was about to turn around and go back to the house, he saw his second brother looking at him with something wrong in his eyes. Zhou Tian immediately nodded to him, and the two of them left the main room and came to the living room of the west wing.

"Second brother, do you have something to tell me?"

After the two sat down, Zhou Tian took the initiative to ask.

"Brother, Yaning informed me yesterday that the Chen family has already settled the issue of my enlistment. I can stay at home for two more days before I go to the army!"

The second brother heard this and said with reluctance in his tone.

"So soon, can't you wait until the New Year to leave? And Xiaoyu and Xiaoting will probably be back in the next two days, don't you want to see them?"

Zhou Tian couldn't tell what he felt for a moment, but he kept using his third brother and younger sister as excuses.

"Brother, I want to, but time waits for no one. Since the Chen family has prepared everything, I can't ask them to ask for leave for me again!"

Zhou Hao also wanted to meet his younger brothers and sisters, but who would have thought that these sophomores and freshmen would be noticed by their instructor and stay to study with him in their first year.

Faced with such a rare opportunity, the two naturally stayed, resulting in them not going home during the winter vacation like in previous years.
