Chu Jie's mouth twitched. What's the point? I didn't say anything. Who is he trying to show off to?

Chu Tian couldn't help coughing. Seeing Sun Jianjun looking at him, he quickly said, "Then I'll trouble you, Brother Jianjun..."

Sun Jianjun had a simple smile on his face, "No trouble, no trouble..."

Then it became quiet again. Chu Tian and Chu Jie tried to talk several times, but they would fall silent after just a few words. Finally, when they really couldn't find anything to say, Chu Tian and Chu Jie looked at each other and stood up in tacit understanding.

Chu Tian smiled and said, "Jianjun, you chat with Lifang for a while. I'm going to sleep for a while, otherwise I won't be able to work in the afternoon..."

Chu Jie also spoke up, "I also have to work on removing the adobe bricks this afternoon, so I'm going to take a rest..."

After saying this, without waiting for any reaction from Sun Jianjun and Chu Lifang, Chu Jie and Chu Tian walked out of the main hall holding Xinxin, who actually didn't want to leave and actually wanted to stay, and Yao Xiujuan, who was holding their son.

Sun Jianjun looked at the bewildered Chu Lifang, nervously tugged at the corner of his clothes, and stood in front of Chu Lifang. "Well, well, Comrade Chu Lifang, I, I'm not very good at speaking, but, but I can promise that if we get married, as long as it doesn't violate the principles, I will listen to you. Except for the five yuan I give to my parents every month, the rest of my salary will be given to you..."

"You, if you don't want to work, I can still support you..."

Chu Lifang listened to Sun Jianjun's endless expressions of loyalty. She was originally very nervous, but now she calmed down strangely. She couldn't help laughing out loud. When she saw him looking at her, she waved her hand embarrassedly.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to laugh."

Sun Jianjun stared at Chu Lifang's smiling face for a moment, then his ears turned red again and he shook his head hurriedly, "No, it's okay..."

"Don't stand and talk, sit down."

Chu Lifang relaxed. She gestured for Sun Jianjun to sit down. After he sat down, she continued, "I have many brothers and sisters. I've seen and heard a lot since I was a child. I know that many men like to say nice things before they get married, but it's different after they get married..."

Sun Jianjun quickly said, "No, the whole brigade knows what kind of person I am. If you don't believe me, I can write a guarantee and find someone to witness it. I..."

Seeing Sun Jianjun's face flushed with anxiety, Chu Lifang smiled and said, "I didn't say I didn't trust you. It's just that this is the first time I've met you, so I think we need to get to know each other more to see if we're suitable for each other..."

Sun Jianjun nodded, "Of course, of course."

After a pause, he said embarrassedly, "Actually, this is not the first time we meet..."

Chu Lifang was stunned for a moment, "Ah? But, this is the first time I see you..."

Sun Jianjun, “…”

With the help of Sun Jianjun, a new permit for relocation was quickly obtained, and the address filled in was Chu Tian’s seventh company, third team. And because of his help, two residential plots were approved in the company in advance before the household registration was settled.

Actually, Chu Jie wanted to apply for more residential plots, but his family and his second uncle's family had not yet split up. So if he wanted to apply for more in the future, he would have to wait until his father came to Xinjiang and settled down. Then he could apply again when the family split up...

"Brother Jie, I asked Aunt Wu, and she said there are trains back home every Tuesday and Friday. Tomorrow happens to be Friday. Do you think you should leave tomorrow? Or next Tuesday?"

Chu Xia came back from work and before he had time to rest, he found Chu Jie still making adobe bricks.

Chu Jie straightened up, raised his arm to wipe the sweat from his head, thought for a moment and said, "Tomorrow? It will take me about ten days to go back, and then another ten days to come back. After I arrive, I have to help pack up the house. It will take at least a month to go back and forth. By then, it will be mid-to-late July..."

"My father wanted to come earlier so he could participate in farm work for two more months. Then, when the autumn harvest comes, he can get more food and borrow less..."

Chu Tian nodded, "Okay, then I'll ask the captain for leave and take you to the station tomorrow morning."

Chu Jie stretched out his muddy hand, pointed at the adobe bricks piled up not far away, and smiled. "When the time comes, I'll have to trouble you, Brother Chu Min, and Brother Chu Jun to help build the house first. The adobe bricks I prepared can probably build six or seven houses..."

Chu Tian waved his hand. "That's not a big deal. There hasn't been much farm work in the past two months. Every day I'm either watering the fields or pulling weeds. I'll find some team members to help with the construction. I guess it will be finished before you guys come back."

When Chu Jie mentioned Chu Jun, Chu Tiancai remembered his resentful elder brother. Since his divorce from Ma Cuihua, he has become even more silent. Every day he either goes to work, goes home, or comes to see old lady Chu. In short, he goes to the same place every day.

Alas, thinking about how Chu Jun had some smile on his face before, now there is not even a smile on his face, he looks so lifeless.

But the good thing is that Liu Zhaodi no longer has to lie in bed every day to recuperate after giving birth. She goes to work with Chu Jun every day. As for Daya, her life is much better than before. At least she has gained weight visibly on her face, and she is no longer as timid when meeting people.

At dawn the next day, Chu Tian and Chu Jie rushed to the train station. They took turns riding the bike and finally arrived at the station after more than two hours. Fortunately, there were not many people leaving Xinjiang and there were plenty of tickets, so Chu Tian immediately bought a return train ticket.

"Brother Jie, I'm sorry, I can't buy a sleeper ticket for the twelve o'clock train."

Nowadays, you can’t buy a sleeper berth just because you have money. You need special proof to buy one.

Chu Jie smiled and waved his hands, "Hey, what's the big deal? Some seats are pretty good. When I came here, I heard people on the train say that before the New Year, the trains were so crowded that there was no place to put your feet..."

Chu Tian nodded. He raised his wrist to check the time and saw that it was only ten o'clock. He then said, "Myna, wait for me for a moment. I'll go prepare some things..."

"No····"

Before Chu Jie could say no, Chu Tian stuffed the train ticket into his arms and rode away on his bicycle.

Chu Tian didn't come back until an hour later. He actually just wanted to find a deserted place to get some things out of the space, but the area around the train station was full of people. He had no choice but to run farther and farther, resulting in him coming back after eleven o'clock. It was less than half an hour before the train was scheduled to depart. It was too late for him to go to the state-owned restaurant to buy some food...

"Brother Jie, here are some flatbreads I got from someone. You can eat them dry or soak them in water. There are also some fruits, fried noodles, and a few cans of food. Take these and eat them with the flatbreads and boiled eggs that Lifang made this morning."

As he said that, he stuffed a big bag into his arms. The noodle cake was actually the noodle cake inside the instant noodles, but he couldn't give it to Chu Jie directly with the packaging bag, so he opened the packaging bag and only left the noodle cake. As for the seasoning packets and so on, he didn't dare to put any of them...
