Yao Xiujuan laughed and refused, "Brother Tian, ​​it's really not a small amount. Have you forgotten what you took back before the New Year?"

Seeing that Chu Tian wanted to say something, he continued hurriedly, "Brother Tian, ​​you have to think about my second sister too. If we take so many things back, won't it put pressure on my second sister and her husband?"

Chu Tian scratched his head, thought for a moment, and compromised, "Okay, then I'll buy a few more bags of snacks and orange candies when I go to the regiment tomorrow morning, and give them to my second sister and uncle..."

"Okay, but don't buy as much as last time."

Yao Xiujuan nodded slightly, thinking that although snacks and orange candies were not as precious as grains, they were still decent New Year gifts, and it would be a great honor to give them to her uncle and sister.

"good."

Chu Tianxin thought that Yao Xiujuan was really different from other married girls. If it were her eldest sister-in-law Ma Cuihua, she would definitely take as much as she could back to her parents' home, and she wouldn't care whether the amount was too much or whether it would put too much pressure on the other sisters at home...

All she cares about is whether she has the face among her sisters!

Sure enough, at this time in the main house of the old Chu family, Ma Cuihua was quarreling with Chu Jun again.

"Chu Jun, tell me honestly, how much money did you get when the family was divided?"

Chu Jun replied irritably, "It's just over a hundred, how many more could there be?"

Ma Cuihua looked at Chu Jun suspiciously, "Why don't I believe it? If it's more than a hundred, then why did our mother say Chu Tian had money on him? And why did she ask for five hundred?"

Chu Jun's heart was pounding, but he pretended to be calm on the surface and said, "That's what the third brother paid back to the sky. Don't you know? The third brother owes the fourth brother money!"

After hearing this, Ma Cui looked Chu Jun up and down, thought for a moment and said, "That's right, I don't think you dare to lie to me..."

Chu Jun exhaled slightly...

Ma Cuihua sat cross-legged on the kang and sighed, "Alas, since I came to the Northwest, I haven't been back to my hometown. I don't even know how my parents are doing now..."

Chu Jun glanced at Ma Cuihua and said, "You can write a letter and ask."

Ma Cuihua glared at Chu Jun, "You don't understand what people are saying, right? I want to go back and see them..."

Chu Jun said innocently, "But we don't have money to go back. The hundred or so yuan is probably only enough for our family's round-trip fare..."

Ma Cuihua frowned, "Do you know how much the train ticket back home is?"

Chu Jun shook his head. "I don't know, but I don't think it's cheap. Have you forgotten that when we came to the Northwest, the train ticket cost nearly ten yuan per person. It's been nearly ten years now, and the ticket price must have increased..."

(Note: The price is absurd!)

Ma Cuihua sighed heavily upon hearing this, and Chu Jun fell silent upon hearing this. To be honest, he also missed his grandmother and uncle back home...

At this time, in the old Chu family, more than 3,000 kilometers away.

Old Mrs. Chu stood at the door, her eyes filled with deep longing, looking far into the northwest.

Inside the house, Yao Yi nudged his eldest brother and whispered, "Brother, the old lady is thinking about my children again..."

Yao Ren looked up at his mother at the door and sighed heavily, "My sister-in-law is so cruel. She took my children to the northwest and never came back. Not only did you say you wouldn't come back, but you didn't even send a message back, making the old lady worry every day..."

"It's a sin that the old lady will never see her grandchildren again!"

Yao Yi frowned and suggested, "Brother, you said my sister-in-law and the others haven't come back, and haven't sent any news back. Can we go find them?"

Yao Ren glared. "How are we supposed to find it? We don't even have an address, how can we find it? The Northwest isn't just our production team; it's way, way bigger! They say it's all deserts. Aren't we afraid of getting lost there?"

Yao Yi was worried, "What should I do? My mother is getting older every year, what if..."

Yao Ren spat, "What nonsense are you talking about? Our mother is in good health!"

He paused, sighed heavily, and spoke after a while, "After the New Year, I'll go to the commune and ask someone. My sister-in-law was arranged by the commune leaders to take the train to the northwest. I guess the commune should have an address there?"

The second day of the Lunar New Year is the day when married women return to their parents' home. Chu Tian's family of three got up early, ate a little and went out.

Sun Weiguo saw Chu Tian's family of three from a distance and waved and called out, "Brother Tian..."

Chu Tian also smiled and waved, and said to Yao Xiujuan beside him, "It seems we are a little early..."

Yao Xiujuan looked out and saw that there were only a few people sitting in the carriage in the distance, then nodded, "It's better to be early, it's better to be early than late..."

As soon as he approached, Sun Weiguo enthusiastically spread the straw mats he had prepared in advance on the two best seats in the entire carriage, "Brother Tian, ​​please let Sister Tian sit here. This position is not easily blown by the wind on the road."

Before Chu Tian helped Yao Xiujuan sit down, he heard a middle-aged woman beside him yelling, "Oh, Weiguo, you are too partial, aren't you? You let Chu Tian's wife sit in the good seat, but you won't let us sit?"

Sun Weiguo's face turned serious. "Aunt, didn't you see that Sister Xiujuan was pregnant? If you were pregnant too, I would give you the best seat!"

Another woman laughed and said, "Oh, you can't say that. Everyone knows her husband has been away from home for the past few months. If she gets pregnant, it will be a disaster."

"Hahaha···"

Everyone burst into laughter upon hearing this.
