Zuo Zhuang turned his head to look at Chu Tian and asked in a low voice, "Master, are you asleep?"

Chu Tian did not change his movements and slowly said, "No, I can't sleep, it's just that I feel uncomfortable keeping my eyes open all the time."

Zuo Zhuang said "Oh", thought for a moment and asked again, "Master, why are you in such a hurry this time? Didn't Captain Meng say that as long as we can get back within 25 days, it will be fine?"

Chu Tian put down his hand, glanced at Zuo Zhuang, thought for a moment and said, "Zuo Zhuang, you haven't married yet, have you?"

Zuo Zhuang shook his head, "No, my father said there's no rush."

Chu Tian nodded, "You don't have to worry..."

He paused and continued, "I'm in a hurry to go back because my wife is not feeling well. I'm worried about her, so I want to go back early..."

Zuo Zhuang was stunned for a moment, "Sister-in-law is not feeling well? Then why don't you go to the hospital?"

Chu Tian smiled and said, "That's why I asked you if you are married. You don't understand if you are not married."

Looking at Zuo Zhuang's confused expression, Chu Tian continued, "Your sister-in-law is pregnant. She has severe pregnancy reactions. Going to the hospital is useless..."

Zuo Zhuang reacted and quickly congratulated, "Ah, sister-in-law is pregnant? Brother Chu Tian, ​​congratulations..."

Chu Tian curled his lips and changed the subject, "By the way, I heard you say a while ago that you were going to the city's transport team, why didn't you go?"

Zuo Zhuang shook his head, "I don't want to go."

Chu Tian was puzzled. "Why? I heard that the wages of the transport team in the city are a few yuan higher than those in our regiment."

Zuo Zhuang curled his lips. "It's just a few dollars. I won't go. Our Corps is much better. The management is not that strict. When I'm not driving, I can stay at home. In winter, I have more rest and less driving."

"But the city's transport team isn't that good. Even when they're not driving, they have to go to a meeting every morning. It's okay during normal times, so they can just run, but what about winter? It's not enough..."

Chu Tian was happy, "You are right."

After a pause, he continued, "But the transport team of our corps is a little bit inferior to the one in the city."

Zuo Zhuang was puzzled, "Where?"

Chu Tian smiled and said, "For example, the city's transport teams can run to Kou Li, but we can only run to the regiments in various places in Xinjiang."

Zuo Zhuang exclaimed, "What's so good about going to Kouli? If we go to Kouli, it will take at least one or two months to go back and forth. If we go south, two months won't be enough. How tiring..."

Chu Tian raised his eyebrows. "Yes, it takes a long time to go back and forth, but you can see a lot of things that we don't have in Xinjiang. It would be great to broaden your horizons."

Zuo Zhuang thought for a moment and then said, "I understand, but our regiment's trucks can't get out..."

Chu Tian sighed, "That is to say, it would be great if I could leave Xinjiang one day..."

Seeing that Zuo Zhuang didn't say anything, Chu Tian closed his eyes again and thought to himself that at the current speed, they would be able to reach the regiment by noon tomorrow. He wondered how Yao Xiujuan was doing recently.

“Ugh, ugh…”

"water····"

Yao Xiuli quickly poured a glass of water and handed it to Yao Xiujuan. After she rinsed her mouth, she helped her sit on a chair beside her.

"Sister, your reaction to this pregnancy is a bit too severe, isn't it? Why don't you go to the hospital?"

Yao Xiuli has been in Chu Tian's house for half a month. Every day, seeing Yao Xiujuan vomiting more than she eats, she feels so distressed.

Yao Xiujuan slowly shook her head, "No, it will be fine after a while..."

“Ugh, ugh…”

Before she could finish her words, Yao Xiujuan tilted her head and started vomiting again.

Yao Xiuli, "Big Sister..."

After vomiting this time, Yao Xiujuan felt much better. She looked at Yao Xiuli, who was worried, and gently pulled the corners of her lips, "It's okay, big sister. I feel hungry now. Can you make something for me?"

When Yao Xiuli heard Yao Xiujuan say she wanted to eat, she was delighted. "Sister, what do you want to eat?"

Yao Xiujuan licked her lips and said without hesitation, "Tomato and egg noodles!"

Yao Xiuli was stunned for a moment. "Tomato and egg noodles?"

Yao Xiujuan nodded, "Hmm..."

"Okay, I understand. Big sister, you take a break and I'll do it right away."

As he was about to help Yao Xiujuan back to the house, Yao Xiujuan waved her hand and said, "I'm not going back to the house. I've been lying in the house for the past few days. My bones are all weak. I want to bask in the sun..."

Yao Xiuli nodded, "That's fine..."

Chu Tian's family now has all the food they need. There's even a lot of frozen meat in the ice cellar that Chu Tian put in before leaving the car. The only thing they hadn't eaten was the eggs this morning. The chickens in the yard haven't grown up yet and can't lay eggs...

However, Yao Xiujuan finally opened her mouth to say what she wanted to eat, but she had to cook it. Yao Xiuli gritted her teeth, turned around, walked out of the yard and went to Chu Min's house next door.

"Brother Chu Min, Sister Zhang Ping, are you here?"

Dazhu walked out of the house and said, "Aunt Xiuli, my parents are at work and are not at home!"

Seeing this, Yao Xiuli said "Oh" in disappointment, "Okay, forget it..."

As he said this, he turned around and was about to walk out of Chu Min's yard. Dazhu thought for a moment and quickly called out to Yao Xiuli.

"Aunt Xiuli, is there something wrong? My parents are not here, you can tell me what you want!"

Yao Xiuli thought for a moment and then said, "Dazhu, do you have any eggs at home? Can I borrow two?"

Dazhu blinked and nodded. "Yes, my father asked someone to exchange some for them yesterday. Aunt Xiuli, do you want two eggs?"

Yao Xiuli nodded quickly, "Two, two is enough."

Dazhu smiled and said, "Well, I'll get it!"

After a while, Dazhu brought the eggs and said, "Aunt Xiuli, here are the eggs for you."

Yao Xiuli took the eggs and thanked them with a smile, "Dazhu, thank you. I'll ask your fourth uncle to return them to you when he comes back."

Dazhu grinned and said, "Aunt Xiuli, that's okay. Fourth Uncle always brings us delicious food when he goes out. You don't have to return the two eggs."

Yao Xiuli just smiled and left with the eggs.

Yao Xiujuan looked at the big bowl of tomato and egg noodles and her appetite suddenly increased. She finished it in no time.

"tasty···"

Seeing that her elder sister had finished eating and didn't spit it out like before, Yao Xiuli was delighted. "Since you like it, I'll make it for you tonight, okay?"

Yao Xiujuan shook her head and said, "I don't want to eat this tonight."

Yao Xiuli quickly asked, "Sister, what do you want to eat tonight?"

Yao Xiujuan frowned slightly, "Dumplings, I want to eat vegetarian dumplings..."

“Vegetarian dumplings?”

"Well, I don't want to eat meat."

"...Okay, then I'll make a vegetarian dinner. What kind of filling would you like?"

"Whatever, as long as it's not meat..."

In the evening, when Chu Min and his wife returned home from work, they heard Dazhu say that Yao Xiuli had borrowed two eggs.

"Dad, Aunt Xiu Li said she will return the eggs to us when Fourth Uncle comes back."

Chu Min frowned when he heard this. "What else? It's just two eggs. Don't you brothers and sisters eat enough from your fourth uncle's house? Why do you still want more?"
