Seeing Mrs. Chu coming back, Yao Xiujuan exclaimed in surprise, "Grandma, look, Pingping can lift his head. Isn't it said that babies can only lift their heads when they are three months old? Our Pingping is only two months old, how come he can lift his head now..."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Chu ran over in surprise and called out softly, "Pingping, look at Grandma, look at Grandma..."

The little guy lying on the kang actually raised his head slowly following the voice of Old Lady Chu, and gave her a toothless smile, which made the wrinkles on Old Lady Chu's face turn into a flower with joy.

"Oh, our Pingping is really amazing..."

Xinxin on the side looked at Yao Xiujuan curiously, "Mom, when will Xinxin look up?"

Yao Xiujuan thought carefully and replied, "About three or four months? I didn't eat much when I was pregnant with you, and you didn't have much nutrition after you were born, so you will be born later than your brother..."

Xinxin's face instantly showed a lost expression when she heard this. Chu Lifang saw it, smiled, touched Xinxin's head, and said gently.

"It's okay to be late. Look at how healthy our Xinxin's neck is now."

Xinxin's eyes lit up when she heard that. She touched her neck, raised her chin slightly, and said proudly, "Well, Xinxin's neck is healthy..."

Chu Tian was not present, but if he were there, he would definitely laugh out loud.

Yao Xiujuan watched Old Lady Chu lovingly holding her son. She got off the kang and glanced at the wall clock. Seeing that the time was past three in the afternoon, she said with a little worry, "I wonder if Brother Tian and Xiu Li have arrived home by now..."

Chu Lifang smiled when she heard that. "Don't worry, Sister-in-law Xiaoshi. Brother Tian rides fast, so he must have arrived long ago. He must be heading back now!"

"Um."

Yao Xiujuan nodded thoughtfully. She still felt very strange about why her younger sister wanted to go home. She had said half a month ago that she would help her take care of Pingping until she was 100 days old before going home. But she was going home in less than half a month...

Time passed quickly, and after another half a month, Chu Tian and Chu Min's house was completely built. They also burned the kang for three consecutive days to completely dry the entire house.

Chu Min threw away the melon peel on his hand and looked at Chu Tian who was wiping Xinxin's mouth across from him. "How about we move together the day after tomorrow? And invite the people who helped us to have dinner together?"

After work, Chu Min had dinner at home and then came to the educated youth site. He sat in the yard with Chu Tian, ​​Chu Jie, Old Mrs. Chu, Chu Lifang, Yao Xiujuan who was holding a child, and Xinxin to eat watermelon.

Well, it was only May now, and even the watermelons in Turpan were not ripe yet, but there were some in Chu Tian's space. He found an excuse to take out a few, and every day after work these days he would cut one for everyone to eat together.

Chu Tian said without even raising his head, "Ah, sure, I have no objection."

"Brother, please decide what to prepare. I'll go to the regiment tomorrow to buy some..."

Chu Min was happy. "What do you need to prepare? No need to prepare anything. Just steam a few pots of steamed buns and stir-fry a few dishes."

Chu Tian then raised his head and looked at Chu Min, "Don't you need to make two meat dishes?"

Chu Min thought for a moment and said, "I have two pieces of bacon at home. I'll take them out when the time comes."

Yao Xiujuan heard this and continued, "Brother Tian, ​​we still have a few pieces of bacon pickled in winter."

Chu Tian, ​​"Then my family will produce bacon."

Chu Min didn't hesitate and nodded, "Okay, Xiujuan is still with the two children, so I'll ask your second sister-in-law to prepare the meal."

Chu Lifang raised her hand and said, "Brother Min, I'll go help Sister Min."

Chu Min thought about it and nodded, "Okay, it just so happens that the day after tomorrow is Sunday, and Daya's school doesn't have classes. I'll ask Daya to help out then."

Mentioning Daya, Chu Min smiled again, "By the way, little brother, you don't know yet, right?"

Chu Tian looked at Chu Min in confusion, "What?"

Chu Min looked gloating, "My eldest brother had a fight with my eldest sister-in-law yesterday."

"What? Is this true?"

Not to mention Chu Tian, ​​even Chu Jie, Yao Xiujuan and others were shocked. It's no wonder they were shocked. It was really impossible. What kind of character is Chu Jun? In the entire Chu family, no, it should be said that he is the most afraid of his wife and the most cowardly in the entire team...

Chu Min coughed and said, "I heard a general idea, but I almost knew it was because of Daya's schooling."

Chu Tian frowned. "Didn't my sister-in-law already agree to Daya's schooling? Daya has already started school. Why are they still arguing about this?"

Chu Min frowned slightly, "I asked your sister-in-law to bring Daya into the house last night and asked her about it. It was said that it was because of your sister-in-law. She wanted Daya to drop out of school and be married to someone as a child bride..."

Chu Tian stood up in an instant and looked at Chu Min in shock. "Second brother, what did you say?"

Mrs. Chu, who had been absent-minded, was also shocked when she heard this. Her face turned pale. "Chu Min, are you telling the truth?"

Chu Min touched his nose and said, "Well, Daya is not a child who tells lies, so what she said must be true..."

"What is sister-in-law thinking? Daya is only thirteen!"

Yao Xiujuan had seen child brides before, and her life there was truly miserable, even more miserable than the life she and Chu Tian had lived in the previous few years. So she found it unbelievable when she heard Chu Min say that Liu Zhaodi wanted to marry Daya to someone else as a child bride.

Old Madam Chu's face turned pale as she stared at Chu Min. "Even during the great famine of 1942, our Chu family would never sell our daughters. Life is so much better now than it was then, and we would never allow our daughters to be sold!"

Chu Min smiled awkwardly, touched his nose and explained, "Grandma, I know I won't do that, but this is my eldest brother's family affair..."

After a pause, seeing that Mrs. Chu's face was ashen, she thought for a moment and hurriedly explained, "Grandma, my eldest brother disagreed and started arguing with my eldest sister-in-law on the spot."

Mrs. Chu was about to say something, but Chu Tian stopped her. "Grandma, please don't scold my second brother. After all, this matter has nothing to do with him. I think we should call my eldest brother to find out what's going on. If it's really my eldest sister-in-law who has this idea, then we can decide how to solve it."

“If it were my eldest brother…”

This is only Chu Tian. If Chu Jie dared to stop the old lady from getting angry, he would have been beaten up long ago.

Old Mrs. Chu took a deep breath and smiled at Chu Tian, ​​"My dear grandson, grandma will listen to you."

After saying that, he looked at Chu Min and said sternly, "Go back and tell your eldest brother to forget it now and ask him to come over tomorrow after work!"

Chu Min nodded repeatedly, "Okay, grandma."

With that, Chu Min stood up and prepared to go home. After taking two steps, he thought for a moment and bent down to pick up a lot of watermelon seeds from the ground.
