Xinxin approached Chu Tian and said, "Daddy, my little brother can call me sister now."

Chu Tian was surprised, "Really?"

Xinxin had a smile on her face, "Yes, Xinxin taught me."

Chu Tian picked up Xinxin in admiration and kissed her on the face, "Our Xinxin is really great, what else can Pingping shout?"

Xinxin heard this, the smile on her face disappeared, and her brows knitted together, "No, I can only call you sister!"

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Chu smiled and said, "We Pingping will be close to Xinxin in the future! It's so smooth to call her sister..."

Chu Tian was happy, "That's great, Pingping will be Xinxin's little tail from now on, okay?"

Xinxin nodded, hesitated for a moment, frowned, and said, "But, but my brother is so stupid, what if he can't call mom and dad in the future?"

Chu Tian pinched her nose and teased, "Don't worry about it, your brother will definitely call you mom and dad in the future!"

Xinxin said "Oh" and jumped down from Chu Tian's arms. She took two red dates from the dining table and said, "Daddy, Xinxin is going to play with Sister Si Ya."

Before Chu Tian agreed, he heard Mrs. Chu say, "Xinxin, if you don't sleep, your sister Si Ya is taking a nap now. Why don't you go find her when she wakes up?"

Xinxin thought about it after hearing this, put the red dates on the table again, and replied obediently, "Then Xinxin will go to sleep with her brother."

Mrs. Chu hurriedly said, "Your brother has fallen asleep, please speak softly."

"good···"

Seeing Xinxin running to the inner room, Chu Tian turned around and looked at Old Lady Chu, "Grandma, you've been working hard on the farm recently."

Mrs. Chu smiled and said, "Why is it so hard for me? Every time I was assigned a task, I asked your cousins ​​and their wives to help me do it..."

After chatting with Old Lady Chu for a while, she went to take a nap. After Old Lady Chu went to sleep, Chu Tian found a few small bags and divided the red dates, walnuts and dried apricots into several portions. He put the rest in the cabinet in the main hall. Whoever wanted to eat them could take them and eat them. He didn't like to hide things, and neither did Old Lady Chu, and Yao Xiujuan would do it even less.

Yao Xiujuan also divided the two chickens. She looked at the six black chickens in the basin and asked Chu Tian, ​​"Brother Tian, ​​what should we do with the remaining four?"

Chu Tian thought for a moment and said, "I'll roast one tonight, and store the rest in the ice cellar I dug before winter last year. Oh, by the way, the ice in the ice cellar shouldn't have melted completely in the twenty days I was away, right?"

It was inconvenient to store things without a refrigerator, and I remembered the ancient Chinese novels I had read before, in which there were always wealthy families who stored ice cubes in ice cellars during the coldest days of winter to store food and cool down in the summer.

So after the autumn harvest last year, Chu Tian started digging a three-meter-deep cellar to store ice cubes frozen in winter so that he could preserve some meat and other things during the hot summer.

Yao Xiujuan's eyes sparkled when she heard this. "No, the ice in the ice cellar hasn't changed. The few pounds of meat you put in there before you left have been frozen solid ever since. It's very useful. We usually put the extra steamed buns in there, and they're still good for a few days..."

"By the way, my second brother and Brother Jie have taken a look at our ice cellar and have decided to dig a cellar after the autumn harvest to store ice for the winter."

Chu Tian nodded, "That's fine, put the remaining chickens in and freeze them, and save them for later."

As he spoke, Chu Tian stood up and put all the chickens in the ice cellar before returning to the main room. He looked at the clock hanging on the wall and saw that it was already past three in the afternoon. He stretched and said.

"It's getting late, let's take a rest first..."

Chu Tian fell asleep as soon as he touched the kang. It was a lie to say that he was not tired after driving for more than 20 days. He slept most of the time in the Gobi Desert. Not only did he not sleep well, but he was also scared. Not to mention this era, even in the next few decades, there would be wild animals on the stalls next to him in Xinjiang.

Yao Xiujuan woke up at around five o'clock. Seeing that Chu Tian was still sleeping, she moved quietly, got off the kang carefully, and went outside.

Mrs. Chu was sitting by the vegetable garden, helping Pingping poop. When she heard the noise, she turned around and saw that only Yao Xiujuan had come out. She asked, "Is Xiaotian still sleeping?"

Yao Xiujuan nodded and said, "Well, Brother Tian was sleeping soundly, so I didn't call him."

Mrs. Chu nodded. "Well, he must be lying if he says he's not tired. Anyway, he's not taking any rations from the team anymore, so let him sleep."

Yao Xiujuan smiled and nodded, "Grandma, I know."

As he said this, he saw Pingping's face flushed red, and he smiled, "Pingping, can't you poop?"

Mrs. Chu looked down and saw Pingping's flushed face suddenly become relaxed. She looked up again and smiled, "It's already been pulled out."

As he said this, he picked up Pingping, let him lie on his legs, took out a handkerchief from his pocket and started to wipe his butt.

Yao Xiujuan was stunned for a moment when she saw this, then she reacted and said, "Grandma, didn't Brother Tian buy some toilet paper?"

Mrs. Chu nodded. "I know, but Pingping suddenly wants to poop. Do I have any paper in my pocket?"

After a pause, he smiled and said, "It's okay, the baby's poop is clean. I'll wash the handkerchief with soap and it will be clean."

Yao Xiujuan nodded helplessly, thought for a moment and said, "Grandma, Brother Tian bought a lot of toilet paper, you can use it without worry, there is no need to save it."

Mrs. Chu threw the handkerchief she had used to wipe her buttocks onto the ground, picked up Pingping again, and said with a smile, "Alright, Grandma knows. It's getting late, isn't it? You should go to work."

Yao Xiujuan heard Chu Min's wife calling her outside the door. She nodded quickly and said, "Then I'll go to work." Then she picked up the ceramic jar of boiled water that she had prepared at noon from the kitchen and left in a hurry.

Zhang Ping, Chu Min's wife, was carrying a basket. Seeing Yao Xiujuan coming out, she smiled and asked, "I heard from your second brother that my younger brother is back?"

Yao Xiujuan nodded, "Yes, I'm back."

Zhang Ping smiled and said, "That's good. I've noticed that you've been quite distracted at work lately. Now that my little brother is back, you should be relieved, right?"

Yao Xiujuan smiled embarrassedly, "Second sister-in-law..."

Before Zhang Ping could say anything, an inappropriate voice came out.

"Sister-in-law is so lucky. Not only does Xiao Shi love you so much, but you won't have to worry about food and drink in the future..."

Yao Xiujuan and Zhang Ping looked at each other, thought for a while, and then Yao Xiujuan smiled.

"Sister Meihua, Brother Jie is very good to you too."

Chu Jie's wife Wang Meihua's expression was indifferent. "But Chu Jie doesn't have a job in the transport team."

Yao Xiujuan's face turned pale when she heard this. She thought to herself, what does it have to do with her whether he has a job or not? She wanted to retort, but when she thought about how Chu Jie often came to help with some work when Chu Tian was not at home, she held back and didn't retort!
