Chu Tian returned to the room where they slept and found that Yao Xiujuan, who had been traveling all day, had fallen asleep with Wu Ya in her arms. He didn't care about what he was thinking at the moment, but took off his clothes, shoes and socks, blew out the oil lamp and lay down beside them...

At this time, Yao's father, who was in the main room, sat on the kang and rolled another cigarette and started smoking, while listening to what Yao's mother, who had already gotten on the kang, said.

"The eldest son-in-law has to pay for the salary and hire people, so the money he spent must be more than 300 yuan..."

Yao's father exhaled a puff of smoke, glanced sideways at Yao's mother, and said calmly, "Do you think I don't know?"

After stubbing out his cigarette, Father Yao took off his shoes and lay down on the kang. Looking at Mother Yao, who seemed to be hesitant to speak, he soothed her, "Alright, don't mention this anymore. We owe our eldest son-in-law, and we'll let our allies pay him back in the future!"

Mother Yao sighed, "Alright, but our eldest son-in-law is really good. I really can't understand how my mother-in-law could treat him like this."

Father Yao glanced at Mother Yao and said, "What's so hard to understand? Since ancient times, there have been many partial parents. Isn't our second son-in-law's mother partial too?"

After he finished speaking, he paused, then held his forehead helplessly, "It's really strange, why are the mothers of our two sons-in-law both partial? Oh, I hope Xiuli's future parents-in-law won't be so partial..."

Mother Yao glanced at Father Yao with a complicated expression, then turned over and lay down, not wanting to pay any attention to him. She thought to herself that she had known that her second son-in-law's mother was very partial to him, so she had not been attracted to his family. But it was he who insisted that his second son-in-law was down-to-earth, honest and capable, so she married her daughter to him despite his mother's partiality?

The next day, just after breakfast, Yao Xiujuan's second sister, Yao Xiuhe, brought her husband and children back to her parents' home. Yao Xiujuan saw her father, younger brother, and Chu Tian chatting with her second brother-in-law He Zhigang, while her mother and younger sister went to the kitchen to prepare lunch. After thinking about it, she pulled her second sister to the kitchen.

When Yao Xiujuan and her sister arrived, Yao's mother hurriedly said, "Hey, Xiujuan, what are you doing here with your big belly?"

Yao Xiujuan smiled and said, "Xiuhe and I are here to help mother..."

Yao's mother waved her hand. "You two have worked so hard at your husband's house. It's so hard for you to come back to your parents' house once. How can I ask you to help with the work? Besides, doesn't your little sister still have help?"

Upon hearing this, Yao Xiuli quickly responded, "Yes, elder sister, second sister, you just take a rest, I will help you..."

"We are all my daughters, how can I let my younger sister help by herself? My elder sister is pregnant, so she can just rest. I will help with the dishes."

Yao Xiuhe casually put Goudan in her arms on the ground and let him play with Wu Ya. Then she picked up the cabbage prepared by Yao's mother and started to clean it up.

Seeing this, Yao Xiujuan also said, "I don't need to rest, I'll boil the pot."

As he spoke, he did not forget to remind Wu Ya, who was squatting and playing with Goudan, "Wu Ya, watch your brother Goudan and don't let him fall."

Wu Ya raised her head and glanced at Yao Xiujuan, "I will take good care of my brother."

Mother Yao looked at her two married daughters, one picking vegetables and the other cooking. She opened her mouth to say something, but in the end she just sighed and said nothing.

He Zhigang looked at Chu Tian in disbelief, "Brother-in-law, are you really splitting up?"

Chu Tian curled his lips and said, "What's wrong with splitting up the family? The children are all grown up. Wouldn't it just cause conflicts if we don't split up the family?"

“····”

In fact, He Zhigang has been very annoyed at home recently. Before he came back today, he was just annoyed and didn't have any definite thoughts. But after hearing what Chu Tian said, he didn't know why, but he felt a little moved. What should he do?

But, but, even if he was moved, he couldn't bring it up with his parents. He could imagine what his parents' attitude would be if he dared to mention dividing the family. They would definitely want to kill him!

Chu Tian glanced at He Zhigang, who had a tangled expression, and just smiled faintly, then changed the subject, "Dad, I made an agreement with Youjun last night. I asked him to pack his luggage today and leave with me tomorrow. I estimate that he won't be back for at least two or three months..."

Father Yao nodded and said, "As he should. He just went there to learn the skills from his master."

He Zhigang was puzzled. "What kind of skills are we learning? What are our allies going to do?"

Yao's father explained with a smile, "Youjun will have to wait a little longer before entering the factory as an apprentice."

He Zhigang looked at Yao Youjun in surprise, "Oh, Youjun is going to be a worker? This is great news. Youjun, congratulations, brother-in-law!"

Yao Youjun scratched his head embarrassedly, "Just an apprentice..."

He Zhigang said dissatisfiedly, "What's wrong with apprentices? There's not a single person in our team who can enter the factory right now. Anyone who can get in must have a lot of skills!"

"By the way, what factory is it?"

Chu Tian took a sip of water and continued, "The steel mill to the west of our regiment..."

He Zhigang stood up and exclaimed, "What? A steel plant? The one west of Urumqi?"

Chu Tian smiled and nodded, "Yes, which steel mill does my second brother-in-law know?"

He Zhigang nodded repeatedly, his eyes brightening surprisingly. "I know, how could I not know this? The steel mill in the west is our Urumqi, no, it should be said that it is the largest steel mill in our Xinjiang. It is said that the welfare and treatment of the workers in the steel mill are the third best in the whole Urumqi, except for the railway units and the oil units. They will give out benefits every year during the holidays. If you work for a long time, you will also be allocated housing and arrange employment for your children..."

(Refer to the Bayi Iron and Steel Plant in Urumqi. Bayi Iron and Steel Plant is the largest steel plant in Xinjiang. I haven't found out the exact year it was established, but I think it was established in the 1960s and 1970s. This is just a reference, not a realistic description, so don't take it too seriously!)

Yao Youjun opened his mouth in surprise. After a while, he looked at Chu Tian and asked blankly, "Brother-in-law, is that steel plant really that good?"
