Chapter 651: A Flash of Inspiration, Children's Playground
"But even if what you said is false, grandma is very happy!"
When Zhou Tian heard this, he felt a little sad for some reason. Looking at the aged faces of his grandparents, he actually knew that no matter how magical the spiritual spring water was, his grandparents were old after all.
He didn't know how many more years he could accompany his grandparents. After all, birth, aging, sickness and death are the laws of nature. He was just a human being and had no ability to compete with God for people.
Now he can only try his best to stay with his grandparents and make them live happier.
"Okay, the meal is ready. It's time to eat. Xiaobei, go and call your brothers and sisters!"
At this time, Shen Yulin came out of the kitchen with a bowl of noodles and called out to Zhou Zhibei. Behind her, her mother-in-law Li Yuling took the bowl and chopsticks and put them on the table. She looked at Zhou Tian and smiled, "Xiaotian, you've been on the train for more than ten hours. You must be tired. Come on, let me serve you a bowl first. You eat first!"
As she spoke, Li Yuling picked up a bowl, served him a bowl of noodles, scooped a spoonful of tomato and egg sauce, and handed it to him.
"Thank you mom!"
Zhou Tian quickly stood up and took the noodles, smelling the familiar aroma. Coincidentally, he was indeed feeling hungry, so he was no longer polite and lowered his head to eat.
After eating three bowls in a row, he put down the bowl and looked at the children who were still eating. He felt extremely satisfied.
In the afternoon, Zhou Tian first went to the Sijiucheng Research Institute and told Zhang Mingzhi about his promise to the Southwest Military Region bulletproof vest production line. After all, he is no longer the dean of the Sijiucheng Red Star Research Institute, so naturally he needs to communicate with Zhang Mingzhi.
After communicating this matter, Zhou Tian left the research institute and went to his second uncle's house in the courtyard.
After learning at his second uncle's house that Daya had been admitted to a technical secondary school as he had hoped, he felt much more relieved. As for Zhou Hu, he was already sixteen years old, which was considered an adult in this era.
So after getting his consent, his second uncle wanted him to join the army.
However, in this era, it is not easy to join the army. You can't just join if you want to. It requires political review. Fortunately, there is no problem with the Zhou family's political review. The second uncle has already passed the conscription procedure through the Nanluoguxiang Street Office. As long as we wait until the New Year, he will set off with the new recruits.
"By the way, Xiaotian, what's going on with Xiaohao? Xiaojun and Xiaomin already have two children, but I don't think Xiaohao has any intention of getting married."
After talking about Zhou Hu and Daya, Zhou Weimin suddenly shifted the topic to Zhou Hao.
When Zhou Tian heard his second uncle also mentioned his second brother's marriage, he felt overwhelmed and told his second uncle about Zhou Hao's affairs, and finally told him his own plan.
"That's right. As the saying goes, an elder brother is like a father. Originally, you should have been the one to worry about this matter. Now, you should take this opportunity to deal with Xiaohao's matter! Otherwise, if time passes for a long time, others will definitely gossip about it!"
Zhou Weimin nodded, obviously very satisfied with Zhou Tian's efficiency.
"Uncle, it's actually my fault. It's mainly because I spoiled him too much. In the past few years, I was too busy with work and I didn't want to interfere with his marriage, so I just let him do whatever he wanted. But now I understand that this kid doesn't like to take the initiative unless you push him. This is really beyond my expectations!"
Zhou Tian had nothing to hide in front of Zhou Weimin and told the truth.
After all, to put it bluntly, he was definitely wrong in this matter, and he would naturally not deny it. Marriage is a serious matter, and it is the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words. Now that the adults in the family are gone, he must consider his younger siblings.
"Hey, your family, mainly because your eldest brother and sister-in-law are gone, you lack the supervision of your parents, but now that you have already taken care of it, don't blame yourself too much! Do the things for Xiaohao this year, and do it for Xiaoyu next year. Xiaoyu is not a child anymore!"
As the second uncle, Zhou Weimin couldn't really say anything about the situation in his eldest brother's family. After all, even his family was built up following his nephew. Otherwise, they would probably still be struggling to make a living.
Thinking about the situation in the countryside in recent years, he couldn't imagine how his family would survive if it weren't for his nephew.
On the contrary, the family now has no worries about food and drink. Although it cannot be said that they have rich fish and meat for every meal, it is much better than that of ordinary families. Just look at the Jia family in the courtyard.
The whole family now relies on Jia Dongxu alone to support the six members of the family. Even though this year's disaster has just passed, they still live from day to day. Even so, this is still the result of Yi Zhonghai's occasional support.
After talking about family matters, Zhou Tian said goodbye and left the courtyard. Although he also wanted to go see Uncle He, now was not the right time. During the Chinese New Year last year, Uncle He's wife became pregnant. These days, it happened to be the time when Uncle He's wife was in confinement. Naturally, he would not go to her house and deliberately violate that taboo.
However, he still asked someone to send some supplements over.
After leaving the courtyard, Zhou Tian returned home and happened to see children playing skipping rope in the yard. He could not accept some of the entertainment activities of children in this era, but he could understand them.
Compared to previous lives, children's childhood happiness today is indeed simple.
Thinking of some children's entertainment facilities in his previous life, Zhou Tian's heart brightened. Although he didn't want to admit it, he had to agree with one thing: it was easiest to make money from women and children.
Especially those children’s entertainment equipment from previous lives, if they had appeared in the world earlier, could those children’s playgrounds also be moved to this era?
Even if it is not possible, it would be a good thing to provide some good entertainment facilities for today's children.
Thinking of this, Zhou Tian immediately decided to design some simple equipment for the children's playground and give it a try.
After thinking about it, he immediately returned home, went to the study, took out paper and pen and began to plan. In his memory of his previous life, the equipment in the children's playground was actually not that much.
There are basically carousels, bumper cars, pirate ships, children's trains, swings, slides, entertainment mazes, and naughty bags and so on.
The design of these entertainment devices is actually not difficult. For the current research institute, it is very simple. The technology involved is also very complicated, especially for Zhou Tian.
The only thing that is a bit difficult is the plastic products. Today's plastic products are not complicated, but these complicated plastic models require some effort.
After planning the equipment catalog, Zhou Tian immediately lay down on the desk and began to draw the design drawings of these children's entertainment equipment.
