Chu Xing's wife glanced at Wang Meihua unhappily, then turned to look at Yao Xiujuan and said apologetically, "Sister-in-law, don't mind. Chu Jie's wife is not very good at speaking."

Yao Xiujuan shook her head gently and said, "It's okay, Sister Xing, you guys are busy. I'm going to work now."

As she said that, she turned and walked towards the piece of land allocated to her in the morning. Zhang Ping frowned and looked at Wang Meihua, said hello to the other cousins, and left.

The remaining sisters-in-law said goodbye one after another, leaving only Chu Xing's wife and Wang Meihua.

"Old Third's wife, what did you just say? What does Xiao Shi's job have to do with you?"

Wang Meihua's face was sullen, and her tone was very bad. "The house Chu Tian and his family live in now was built with the help of Chu Jie. It's fine if he doesn't express any gratitude. Why can't he help Chu Jie find a job now that he has a good job?"

Chu Xing's wife was so angry that she laughed. She rolled her eyes at the sky and said sarcastically, "When Chu Jie and grandma came to Xinjiang, wasn't it Xiao Shi who took care of the food and drink? Wasn't the house we live in now built by Xiao Shi and the others when Chu Jie came back to pick us up? Have you forgotten that when we first arrived, we had no food at all, and wasn't it Chu Tian who brought us food from time to time?"

Chu Jie's wife bit her lower lip, but finally said unwillingly, "But aren't they cousins? Normally, isn't my Chu Jie on good terms with him?"

Chu Xing's wife said impatiently, "Who said that cousins ​​have to find jobs? No matter how close Xiao Shi is to Chu Jie, can he be as close as his brother? If he could find a job, he would find one for Chu Min and Chu Jun. Why should he find one for Chu Jie?"

"It's a favor for relatives to help each other, and it's their duty not to help. No one owes anyone anything. If you have any objections, go talk to Chu Jie yourself. Don't embarrass yourself among your sisters-in-law!"

"You don't mind being embarrassed, and you're not afraid of Chu Jie being embarrassed! We are still embarrassed!"

"I don't live my life well. Every day I envy this or that. I don't think about what we lived like back home and what kind of life we ​​live like now that we are in Xinjiang..."

After saying that, he turned around and left, complaining in his heart that the second wife was smart and never bothered to say anything to the third wife. It was just that he was stupid. He wanted to stay and persuade the third wife not to stare at other people's families and just live a good life with Chu Jie. But in the end...

Wang Meihua watched Chu Xing's wife walk away, biting her lower lip with her teeth, tears and unwillingness flashed in her eyes.

When Chu Tian woke up, it was almost seven o'clock in the afternoon. He put on his clothes and shoes and walked into the yard. He found that there was no one there. It seemed that this was the time for people to go to work. Even Old Mrs. Chu, who only did some light work, had gone to work.

After washing his face, Chu Tian pushed the bicycle he rode back at noon into the warehouse, then pushed his own bicycle out of the warehouse, locked the gate and rode towards the field.

"Captain..."

Captain Sun heard the sound and turned around to see Chu Tian riding a bicycle to his side. A smile instantly appeared on his face. "Ah, Chu Tian, ​​you're back?"

Chu Tian got off the bicycle, smiled and nodded, "Yeah, I'm back."

Captain Sun, "How's it going? Are you adjusting to the new job?"

Chu Tian glanced at the team members working in the fields not far away, who looked like they were eavesdropping with their ears perked up, and smiled, "It's okay, but I'm getting a headache after driving for so long."

Captain Sun was curious, "Oh? Why does driving give me a headache?"

Chu Tian explained, "Because when driving, you have to concentrate and keep your eyes on your surroundings. If a person or animal suddenly runs out, it would be troublesome to hit them."

Captain Sun nodded in understanding, "Yes, yes, yes, you are right."

After a pause, he asked again, "What are you doing down there now?"

Chu Tian smiled and said, "I'll come and see where Xiujuan is working. I'll go help her with some work so that we can finish earlier and leave work earlier."

Team Leader Sun pointed in the direction of the wasteland and said, "This year, all the women in our team have been assigned to plant corn on the wasteland."

Chu Tian nodded and said, "Captain, I'll go find Xiujuan then."

"Xiujuan..."

"Xiujuan..."

When Yao Xiujuan heard the first call, she thought she was hallucinating and did not take it seriously. Then the second call came. She turned around and saw Chu Tian walking towards her. She straightened up in surprise and asked loudly.

"Brother Tian, ​​why are you here?"

Chu Tian had already strode up to Yao Xiujuan, took the water scoop filled with corn seeds from her hand, and said with a smile, "I have nothing to do at home after waking up, so I came to help you with the work."

Yao Xiujuan was stunned for a moment, and before she could react, she saw Chu Tian had already bent down to pick the corn. After she realized what was happening, she quickly stepped forward and said, "Brother Tian, ​​you don't have to do it, I can do it myself..."

Chu Tian said without even looking up, "What's the difference between you and me? It's just a piece of land. If we finish it sooner, we can go home sooner..."

Yao Xiujuan looked at Chu Tian working seriously, smiled and said nothing more. Instead, she followed Chu Tian and covered the small hole where he had placed the corn seeds with a thin layer of soil.

As the saying goes, when men and women work together, work is not tiring and gets twice the result with half the effort. With Chu Tian's help, all the work that might not have been completed today was finished before nine o'clock.

Chu Tian called Li Meiling, who was recording the work points, and after she finished checking, he smiled and said, "Then we will go back first. When your sister-in-law goes back, tell Weiguo that you two will come to our house for dinner tonight."

Li Meiling responded generously, "Brother Tian, ​​I understand. I will go find Weiguo after work."

Yao Xiujuan also smiled and said, "Meiling, when you come, bring Dabao with you. My Pingping and Xinxin both like him very much."

Li Meiling uttered an "ah" and was about to say something when she heard someone not far away finish their work and asked her to go and check. She waved to Chu Tian and his wife and left.

Chu Tian rode on the bike and looked at Yao Xiujuan who was holding the jar and said, "Xiujuan, let's go..."

Yao Xiujuan curled her lips, sat sideways on the back seat of the bicycle, put one arm around Chu Tian's waist, and said softly, "Brother Tian, ​​I'm sitting well..."

"Um."

Chu Tian has become extremely accustomed to Yao Xiujuan hugging his waist. After all, they have done many intimate things before, so now just hugging his waist is nothing.

"Ah, yes, Uncle Shuanzi, you've finished now..."

"Oh, yes, I'm here to take Xiujuan home..."

"Okay, then you get busy..."

On the way back, he passed by many team members who were still working in the fields. When they saw Chu Tian, ​​they all smiled and greeted him, and Chu Tian responded to them one by one.

"Brother Tian, ​​there are several families in our brigade getting married in the next few days."

Chu Tian greeted the team members who were walking towards him, and when he heard what Yao Xiujuan said, he responded without turning his head, "Well, look, if they treat us, we'll just follow the crowd and give them a few cents to have a meal. If they don't, forget it."
