Crunch

The door opened, and Yao Xiuli saw Chu Jie standing at the door. She was stunned for a moment, shouted "Brother Jie", and quickly moved aside and shouted towards the yard.

"Grandma Chu, brother-in-law, Brother Jie is here..."

Chu Jie smiled and nodded at Yao Xiuli, then walked into the yard.

Chu Tian stood up and asked, "Brother Jie, have you eaten?"

Chu Jie nodded, "I've eaten..."

Old Madam Chu looked directly at Chu Jie, frowned, and asked, "What brings you here at this hour?"

"this···"

Chu Jie frowned, not knowing what to say.

Chu Tian looked at the hesitant Chu Jie, then glanced at Yao Xiujuan and her son with understanding.

Yao Xiujuan understood immediately and shouted to the two children squatting in the yard playing something, "Xinxin, Pingping, go out for a walk with mother and aunt."

As they said that, Yao Xiujuan and Yao Xiuli took the two children out of the yard and considerately closed the gate.

Old Madam Chu raised her chin and gestured, "Can you tell me now?"

Chu Tian put the stool next to Chu Jie, "Brother Jie, sit down and talk slowly."

"Grandma, I..."

"Grandma, what should I do about this?"

Chu Jie sat down and told Chu Tian about what happened today when his wife secretly looked for him, then he covered his head dejectedly.

Mrs. Chu glanced at Chu Jie and said, "What can we do? She's not cheating on me, and she's not disrespecting her parents-in-law. She's just a little too vain and has a few little tricks up her sleeve. Isn't that normal? Do you think everyone is so perfect?"

After a pause, he said disdainfully, "Besides, weren't you the one who was so attracted by her appearance that she didn't care about her character? Since you chose this path yourself, don't keep complaining about it every time you encounter a conflict."

Chu Jie, "..."

Chu Tian looked at Old Madam Chu with a helpless look on his face, and thought to himself, "Old Madam, your grandson is in a bad mood. It would be fine if you don't comfort him, but why do you have to stab him in the heart?"

Wiping his face, Chu Jie said helplessly, "Grandma, I understand."

Mrs. Chu nodded with satisfaction, "I understand."

After thinking for a while, she said, "If you really need money, grandma still has some, I'll lend it to you first."

Chu Jie waved his hands hurriedly, "Grandma, no, no, I don't have money, so I can divide the family first without dividing the house. I can build a house when I have money..."

After chatting for a few more sentences, Chu Jie saw Old Mrs. Chu yawning, so he stood up and said.

"Grandma, I'll go back first..."

Old Mrs. Chu also stood up, waved her hand, said "Go back", and turned back to the house.

Chu Tian sent Chu Jie out. When they reached the door, Chu Tian said, "Brother Jie, if you want to build a house, I suggest you build a brick house. Don't worry if you don't have enough money. I can lend you some first!"

Chu Jie knew that Chu Tian was not short of money. He just smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Don't worry, I have saved some private money now."

Chu Tian raised an eyebrow, but didn't ask in detail. He just continued, "Anyway, if you need money, just ask me anytime. It's okay even if I'm not at home. Xiujuan has some money too."

Chu Jie glanced at Yao Xiujuan and the other three chatting and laughing in the field not far away, and nodded at Chu Tian with a smile, "Okay, I got it. Go and tell your brothers and sisters to go home. If they don't go back soon, I think they will feed the mosquitoes."

Chu Tian saw it and said "hmm", then walked towards Yao Xiujuan.

On this side, on the road from the steel plant to Chu Tian's house, Yao Youjun looked helplessly at the people who followed him closely and asked for the third time.

"I said, I'm going to see my eldest sister, why are you following me?"

Liu Jiali, carrying the new army green shoulder bag her second sister-in-law had bought her from the supply and marketing cooperative, skipped after Yao Youjun and said with a smile, "I'm going to see my elder sister with you!"

“·····”

Even though Yao Youjun was a bit of a blockhead, he had understood Liu Jiali's thoughts over the past year.

Sighing, Yao Youjun stopped and spoke under Liu Jiali's puzzled gaze.

"Liu Jiali, your father is the director of the steel plant. Your eldest brother is now a technician in the second workshop. Your eldest sister-in-law is a clerk in the factory. Your second brother is a foreman who manages more than 30 people. Your second sister-in-law is a salesperson in the supply and marketing cooperative. Even you are now a clerk in the factory."

"And what about me? Although I'm a regular employee now, I initially got this position by having my eldest brother-in-law pay someone to buy fine grain. Oh, and I bought this position from your father. Besides, my parents both farmed in the regiment, and my two sisters also married into the regiment."

Liu Jiali blinked and asked, "So what?"

Yao Youjun looked directly into Liu Jiali's eyes and said seriously, "What's wrong? I mean, we're not suitable for each other, our families are not suitable, do you understand?"

"I have nothing now except a formal job!"

Liu Jiali still asked seriously, "So what?"

"I'm interested in you, not your family!"

“······”

Yao Youjun took a deep breath and was about to say something else when he heard Liu Jiali speak again.

"Yao Youjun, I just like you. Since you're not engaged yet, I have the right to pursue you! Even if you're engaged, as long as you're not married, I won't give up!"

"Besides, my parents didn't object. Why do you mind the gap between the two families so much?"

"Besides, just because you don't have something now doesn't mean you won't have it in the future!"

Yao Youjun and Liu Jiali looked at each other. Seeing the stubbornness and determination in her eyes, Yao Youjun sighed helplessly and continued to walk forward, no longer caring whether she wanted to continue following him.

Seeing that Yao Youjun no longer cared whether she followed him or not, Liu Jiali was delighted and hurried to catch up with him.

Over here, inside the regiment, at Xu Fei’s house.

Chu Tian looked at Xu Fei and asked with a smile, "Xu Fei, how do you feel about working at the grain station?"

Xu Fei smiled and replied, "It's okay. I'm a little busy during the autumn harvest. Normally, I just go there every day to drink tea and have meetings. Then I can go home at the end of the day."

Chu Tian raised his eyebrows. "That's good, you're lucky. You just graduated from high school and the grain station happened to be short of people. You only took 200 kilograms of fine grain and found a connection to get in."

It can be said that Xu Fei is really lucky. The price of fine grains in the past two years is not as high as at the beginning. Now even the highest price of 200 kilograms of fine grains on the black market is only more than 300 yuan. If you get it from him, you can get it for more than 200 yuan.

Xu Fei smiled and said, "I have to thank you, Brother Chu. If you hadn't given me 200 kilograms of fine grain at the lowest price, I would have missed this job."

At that time, many people were interested in this position, but no matter whether it was the supply and marketing cooperative or the black market, there was no way to gather so much fine grain at once. Even if they did, the grain was not particularly good and could not be compared with what Chu Tian brought. After comparing the fine grains of several people, they simply gave the job to him.
