Chu Yi took a while to react, then looked at Chu Ren in shock, "Brother, what do you mean..."

Chu Ren nodded calmly. "I think what Jie'er wrote in the letter is true. Think about it, not only does every family have at least an acre and a half of residential land, but they can also reclaim wasteland every year. The crops grown on the reclaimed wasteland don't need to be handed over as quota grain for the first two or three years. The harvest, whether big or small, will be distributed among the team members. Every winter, they can rest for a whole winter. How great is that?"

"And if we go to Xinjiang, have you ever calculated how much money we can save each year? Back home, our whole family works hard all year round and only gets about 200 yuan. That's less than five yuan per person."

"But Chu Jie said that in Xinjiang, as long as you're not particularly lazy, you can get at least 50 or 60 yuan a year..."

"The most important thing is that by going to Xinjiang, we can be reunited as a family..."

Chu Yi opened his mouth and took a long time to find his voice. "But, but, if we go to Xinjiang, what will happen to your Lizhi? What will happen to my Lifen? What will happen to our two younger sisters?"

Chu Ren was silent for a moment, then pretended to be relaxed and said, "A daughter who is married off is like spilled water. If they can convince their son-in-law and brother-in-law to go with them, that would be the best."

"But if you don't want to, then you must choose me..."

Chu Yi was silent. In his heart, his mother was indeed more important than anything else, more important than any of his children.

After a moment, Chu Ren stood up and said, "I've already asked the eldest brother to write a letter, saying that we should pack up our belongings and go over there. He should prepare some adobe bricks and other materials first. Then we can apply for a plot of land and build a house. We can still catch the autumn harvest there, and then we can borrow food to get through the winter. We'll have a better life next year. In short, we can't live and eat with Chu Tian like our mother did."

Chu Yi frowned, "Then why don't you wait until the autumn harvest is over and the rations are distributed before going?"

Chu Ren glanced at him and said, "How are we going to carry so much food? Don't forget, we still have to bring a lot of luggage..."

Chu Yi, "..."

On the day of moving, Chu Tian and Chu Min both took the afternoon off from work and packed their things in their respective new homes.

Old Mrs. Chu looked back and forth at each room, praising them as she looked. "Wow, this cement brick bungalow looks really good!"

"Look how bright it is..."

"Oh, this big window is nice too..."

"Oh my, this kang is really big. It can sleep five or six people, right?"

“Look at this…”

Chu Tian followed behind Old Madam Chu with a smile on his face, and finally helped her sit on the chair in the main hall. "Grandma, how are you?"

Old Mrs. Chu smiled and said, "Good, very good. Grandma has never lived in such a bright house..."

Chu Tian also smiled, "Grandma will live here in the future. This is your grandson's house and also your grandma's house..."

Old Mrs. Chu waved her hands and said, "Hey, no, no, grandma will have to go back in the future..."

Chu Tian was stunned. "Go back? Go back where? Hometown? But didn't Brother Jie say that uncle and uncle two will move to Xinjiang in the future?"

Old Madam Chu pulled Chu Tian to sit down as well, and leaned close to him and whispered, "My dear grandson, what do you mean? When did Jie'er say that?"

Chu Tian scratched his head. "It was at noon the day before yesterday. You were taking a nap and I was getting ready for work."

"My uncle even wrote to Brother Jie to start making adobe bricks now, saying that once we have enough bricks, we can apply for a plot of land and build a house when they arrive!"

He pointed to the half-dried adobe bricks drying on the roadside and said, "Look, the adobe bricks that Brother Jie has made recently are enough to build two houses."

After thinking for a moment, he continued, "Oh right, Brother Jie went to the farm yesterday to ask our team leader what procedures are needed to transfer our household registration here. The team leader went to the company yesterday, and the company said that as long as the regiment headquarters agrees, the company can accept us at any time. The team leader also said that he will go to the regiment headquarters tomorrow to ask what procedures are needed."

Old Madam Chu's face tightened, her teeth chattered, and she spat out, "This damn brat, how dare he lie to me?"

Chu Tian was confused. "Grandma, what's wrong? Who lied to you?"

Old Mrs. Chu stood up in an instant and said, "It's okay. Grandma will go teach that bastard a lesson. You go do your own thing first."

As he said that, he rushed out of the house and walked straight towards Chu Jie who was helping to chop firewood. When he got to him, he started to hit him hard several times.

Chu Tian could hear Chu Jie begging for mercy and admitting his mistakes from a long distance away.

Yao Xiujuan came out from the inner room, listened to the noise outside, and looked at Chu Tian with a worried look on her face, "Brother Tian, ​​are you okay?"

Chu Tian chuckled, "It's okay."

"By the way, is the main house ready?"

Yao Xiujuan, "Okay, is it really okay for just the two of us to live in the main house? Or should we let grandma live there?"

Seeing Yao Xiujuan frowning slightly, Chu Tian smiled and shook his head to comfort her, "It's okay, this is what grandma wants, we just listen to her..."

Yao Xiujuan nodded, thought for a moment, and then said, "By the way, Pingping is already three months old. I want him to start work tomorrow."

Chu Tian was stunned. "Why? I can support you! Why work? The weather is getting hot. Even if I don't have to work during the hottest time of the day, it's still tiring..."

Yao Xiujuan chuckled and stepped forward to hold Chu Tian's arm. "Of course, Brother Tian can support us mother and son, but our family relies on you to work, and we still eat and wear good clothes every day. What if someone with ulterior motives finds out?"

Chu Tian thought for a moment, then nodded slightly, "Okay, since you must go to work, then go to work!"

"Forget about the farm work. Nowadays, farm work is just weeding and watering. Although it's not as tiring as plowing and sowing, it's not easy either. Just do an easier job with lower work points."

Yao Xiujuan smiled when she heard this. "I don't plan on doing jobs that require a lot of work points. Don't we have jobs like herding cattle, cutting grass for pigs, and cleaning the pig pens in our brigade?"

"What do you think about me doing that?"

Chu Tian frowned, "Herding cattle? Cutting grass for pigs? Cleaning the pigpen?"

Yao Xiujuan nodded. "Well, if I'm herding cattle, I can bring Xinxin and Pingping with me. If I'm cutting grass and cleaning the pigpen, I only need to go twice a day, morning and evening. I can be back in two hours at most each time."

"But if we do the work of cleaning the pigsty and the pigsty, then Grandma and Sister Lifang will have to help take care of the children."

Chu Tian didn't agree, nor did he object. Instead, he said, "Let's talk about it tomorrow. After you clean up the inner room, go help your second sister-in-law cook. We're going to have a housewarming dinner together tonight."

Yao Xiujuan thought Chu Tian agreed, so she responded happily, turned around and walked out.
