"Ma Cuihua, don't you know how to pick them in order? How big is your face? How dare you choose from them?"

"Bah, what's it to you? If you want to take it in order, just take it in order."

"Ma Cuihua, where are you spitting? You are so disgusting..."

Yao Xiujuan looked over and asked Chu Tian beside her in confusion, "Brother Tian, ​​why do I hear Da, no, Ma Cuihua's voice?"

Chu Tian was considered tall in the team, so he just tiptoed a little and saw the scene in the front where Ma Cuihua was arguing with a straightforward aunt in the team. He frowned and said, "It's okay, Ma Cuihua is just looking for trouble..."

Yao Xiujuan said "Oh" and felt very strange. "You said that she has already divorced our eldest brother, and the two children are not our eldest brother's. Why doesn't she live in the second team?"

Chu Tian looked at Yao Xiujuan with a half-smile, "Do you think she doesn't want to go? It's Captain Wu of the second team who doesn't want to accept him... Including his two children, Wu Dafa's mother doesn't recognize them..."

Yao Xiujuan opened her mouth in surprise and leaned close to Chu Tian and whispered, "Brother Tian, ​​do you mean that Erzhu and Erya are still surnamed Chu?"

Chu Tian shook his head, "No, Big Brother doesn't allow them to have the surname Chu."

"Wu Dafa's mother and Captain Wu also don't allow them to have the surname Wu, so Erzhu and Erya now have the surname Ma!"

“····”

It's been a few months, but Yao Xiujuan still can't figure out why Ma Cuihua has let Chu Jun down. Although Chu Jun is a coward, he's really good to her. Ma Cuihua is the one who makes all the decisions about their own house. She always does whatever she asks Chu Jun to do, and Chu Jun is always obedient to her...

At this time, Ma Cuihua was carrying a piece of fat meat and was about to pass by the end of the team with a smile on her face. Her eyes accidentally glanced at Chu Tian and his wife standing at the end of the team, and Chu Jun and Daya who had just arrived. The smile on her face froze instantly. She pulled the corners of her mouth and wanted to say hello, but she didn't know what she thought of. She suddenly put away her expression, lowered her head and walked away quickly...

Before Daya could even call out "Mom", she saw Ma Cuihua walking away in a hurry. She had a lonely expression on her face and slowly lowered her head.

Chu Tian saw it, sighed helplessly, walked forward and patted her head gently to comfort her.

Daya just raised her head slightly, curled the corners of her mouth towards Chu Tian, ​​called out "Fourth Uncle" in a low voice, and then lowered her head again.

Chu Jun originally thought that since he and his daughter arrived late, they must not have any acquaintances, so he was quite happy when he saw Chu Tian and his wife from afar. However, as soon as he approached and had no time to say hello, he saw Ma Cuihua head-on. The smile on his face disappeared instantly and his face quickly turned cold.

Yao Xiujuan looked at Chu Tian helplessly. Only when she saw Chu Tian shook his head slightly at her did she let out a sigh of relief.

Chu Tian pushed Daya to Yao Xiujuan's side, and he stood with Chu Jun, just standing there without saying anything.

In the end, Chu Jun couldn't help but speak first, "Little brother, do you think I, your brother, am particularly embarrassed..."

Chu Tian asked in surprise, "Shameful? What's embarrassing about you?"

Chu Jun was stunned. "Ah? I, Ma, Ma Cuihua is looking for a strange man, and I'm raising a child for someone else..."

"Everyone in the team says I'm a sucker. Don't you feel ashamed?"

Chu Tian smiled disdainfully, "Brother, how can you think that? If anyone is embarrassed, it's the Wu family from the next brigade who are embarrassed, Ma Cuihua is embarrassed, Ma Erzhu and Ma Erya are embarrassed!"

"You? You are a member of the vulnerable group, the one being hurt, so you will only make people feel pity for you!"

Chu Jun froze in place, and after a while, he reacted and asked uncertainly, "Is that so?"

Chu Tian smiled and nodded. "Well, didn't Big Brother notice? Ever since you and Da, no, Ma Cuihua divorced, people rarely mentioned Ma Cuihua and her two children in front of you, didn't they?"

Chu Jun nodded hesitantly, "They found out, but they didn't mention it. Isn't it because they think I'm embarrassed?"

Seeing that they were the next in line, Chu Tian had no choice but to pat Chu Jun on the shoulder. "Brother, as a human being, you should look forward to the future. Let the past be the past, right? It's wrong to keep dwelling on the past or other people's thoughts. Do you understand?"

You have to be direct when talking to Chu Jun, otherwise, he might get into some twisted thoughts...

Chu Jun had a trace of doubt on his face, but after a moment he understood what Chu Tian said. The troubles that had been bothering him for a long time seemed to disappear in an instant, like the sky clearing up after the rain...

"Captain, does anyone want this bone? If no one wants it, I'd like to buy it..."

Captain Sun looked at Chu Tian in surprise. "There's not much meat on this bone. What did you buy it for?"

After a pause, he looked at the few people who stayed to buy more meat. After Chu Tian and Chu Jun each took a piece of meat, he took Chu Tian aside while they were not paying attention and whispered, "If you think two pounds of meat is not enough, there are two pig ears and a pig tail in the yard that you can give them."

Chu Tian smiled and waved his hands, "No, no, it's not that I feel that there is not enough meat to eat, it's just that I think the bone soup is nutritious, and I want to buy some to make soup for my family!"

Captain Sun was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "So that's how it is?"

Chu Tian nodded seriously. Thinking of Captain Sun's care for his family, he suggested, "Actually, we don't eat meat often, but occasionally we can buy some big bones that don't require tickets and are cheap, and make soup for our family from time to time. It's not bad. At least it's more nutritious than ordinary rice porridge..."

After a pause, he continued to make up stories, "This is what the doctor at the hospital told me. Whether it's pork bone soup, nourishing bone soup or beef bone soup..."

In forty or fifty years, perhaps people living in cities will no longer drink bone soup, because so-called experts say that bone soup contains high levels of purine, fat, and other substances, and not much calcium. Drinking too much of it will not only be unnutritious, but will also be a burden to the human body.

But in this day and age, when people can barely get enough to eat, why worry about high purines or high fat? Everyone wants a higher fat content just to make their family fatter!

Captain Sun stood up thoughtfully, and after a moment he said, "Then wait a moment. After they leave, I'll ask the butcher to give you the pork bones."

Yes, generally after slaughtering a pig, the butcher will give some pig offal and pig bones as a reward.

Chu Tian grinned, "Thank you, Captain."

There are only four connected large bones on a pig. Large bones are very cheap in this era. Two large bones weigh only about six pounds, and the butcher only charges fifty cents for them. The total cost per pound is less than one cent, which is really a good deal.
