Yao Xiujuan nodded and didn't ask any more questions. Instead, she stared at Chu Tian with affection.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing, I just feel so lucky..."

“Yeah, me too…”

Chu Tian is now indifferent to the fact that Yao Xiujuan always tells him that she is lucky or happy to meet him and marry him.

Here, Chu Ren dropped the cigarette he had just rolled on the ground in shock. He didn't bother to pick it up, but looked at Old Lady Chu in disbelief.

"Mom, Mom, why do you have such an idea?"

Chu Yi also looked at Old Madam Chu with a look of horror, "Mom, you can't talk about this casually..."

Old Madam Chu stood up in anger and smacked both of her sons on the back twice, shouting unhappily, "Is your mother so unreliable?"

Chu Ren wanted to say something, but seeing his eldest son walking towards the main room, he hurriedly shouted out the door, "Big Boss, take everyone to work in the fields, take the children with you, I'll be there later."

Chu Yi also shouted after hearing this, "Chu Xing, please help your second uncle go next door and tell your brother and the others to go to the fields directly without waiting for me."

Chu Xing stopped as he was about to step into the main hall, quickly responded, turned around and said something to the people in the yard, then left the yard. A moment later, everyone in the yard, big and small, had left.

Several people discussed quietly in the house for a long time. Finally, Chu Ren and Chu Yi decided to let their two sisters find some people to investigate secretly to see if there was any man who was close to Liu Zhaodi at that time. However, it is likely that no one can find out the truth of this matter. After all, it happened twenty or thirty years ago, and it may not be possible to find out.

They made this decision just to reassure me.

Seeing Old Lady Chu leave contentedly, the two brothers looked at each other and sighed at the same time after a while, thinking, what is going on? It shouldn't be that serious, right?

The next day, Chu Tian rode a bicycle to take Chu Jie, who was carrying simple luggage, to the coal mine. When he sent him to the coal mine, it was still early. Chu Tian thought for a while and said.

"Brother Jie, if someone is selling a job, don't worry about the money and food. Just agree to buy it. I can help you get the food."

"Also, you can't do long-term work underground in the mines. Not only is it tiring, but there's also a lot of dust, and breathing too much is bad for your health."

Chu Jie moved all the luggage he was carrying to one hand, stepped forward and patted Chu Tian on the shoulder, "Don't worry, brother is not stupid!"

Before he could say anything, he saw several other temporary workers who had applied for the job at the registration office yesterday. They all came and said to Chu Tian, ​​"You should go back quickly. I want to go in too."

After a pause, he instructed, "If Wang Meihua causes trouble again, you and your sister-in-law should not give her face and fight back in the right way!"

Last night he had warned Wang Meihua not to get carried away just because she could work as a temporary worker in the coal mine. Otherwise, he would not give her any more chances once he knew about it.

Chu Tian smiled and said, "Okay."

He never took Wang Meihua seriously. She was just a short-sighted and somewhat vain woman, and had not caused any substantial harm to their family.

As he spoke, a man in cadre uniform came out of the coal mine and greeted the temporary workers who came to work, "Follow me, I will take you to register first, and then I will assign you dormitories after registration. After the dormitories are assigned, I will arrange work for you..."

Chu Tian waved to Chu Jie, turned around, got on his bike and prepared to leave. Just as he was about to get on the bike and leave, a middle-aged man called him.

"Hey, hey, comrade on a bicycle, wait a moment..."

Chu Tian looked back at the voice and found that the person calling him was a middle-aged man, a familiar face, who was the buyer of his first sale.

Chu Tian asked calmly, "Hello, what do you want to ask me?"

The man walked forward, looked Chu Tian up and down, frowned, and after a while he said with certainty, "I've seen you!"

"Really? Where is it?"

Chu Tian's pupils shrank slightly, then returned to normal. He thought, even if he now pointed out that he was selling things on the black market at that time, so what? Two years have passed. Even if he complained, who would believe him?

The middle-aged man looked around, grabbed Chu Tian's handlebars, and pointed to the alley beside him. "Comrade, it's the workers' working hours now, and there are people coming and going. It's not appropriate for us to talk here. How about we go to the side and talk?"

Chu Tian glanced at the handlebars that were held by the man, and thought that he had no choice but to go, so he nodded.

The two of them stood in an empty alley. Chu Tian looked at him silently, wanting to see how he recognized him, or to see what he was going to say.

The middle-aged man didn't beat around the bush and asked directly, "Have you ever sold things on the black market before?"

Seeing that Chu Tian didn't say anything and just looked at him calmly, the man didn't mind and continued.

"I bought the best grain from you, but when I wanted to buy from you again, I couldn't find you anymore..."

"I····"

After talking for a long time, the middle-aged man saw that Chu Tian still didn't speak, so he asked curiously, "Did I recognize the wrong person?"

"But it shouldn't be like that. I have a very good memory."

"I've never missed anything I've seen, whether it's an object or a person. You must be the person on the black market back then..."

After a pause, the man seemed to remember something and immediately explained, "Don't worry, brother. I just want to buy some good grains. I don't have any other ideas."

"Look, I'm a regular employee of the coal mine and the director of the mining department. I earn several dozen yuan a month. I really wouldn't cheat you just for a little grain."

As he spoke, the man took out his work ID from his pocket, opened it and handed it to Chu Tian for him to see.

Chu Tian glanced at it and saw the words "Ma Guochun, Director of the Mining Department". He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and wondered what kind of luck he had. The Director Liu he knew at that time was the workshop director of the steel plant, and now he knew the director of the coal mining department?

Chu Tian thought, more friends mean more paths. Since Director Ma took the initiative to show his goodwill, there was no need for him to be pretentious.

"Director Ma, how did you recognize me at first sight?"

When Director Ma saw Chu Tian admit it, a smile instantly appeared on his face, and he said proudly, "I told you I wasn't mistaken, right? I saw you when I walked out the door and was about to go home. I recognized you at first sight!"

"Don't think you were disguised at the time. It was just too simple. Anyone with a little bit of brains could recognize it..."

“······”

Listening to him endlessly showing off how great his confidence was and belittling how poor Chu Tian's disguise was, Chu Tian was speechless. He thought to himself, okay, okay, stop talking. His disguise was indeed very poor at the beginning, and he knew it very well. There was no need to say more.
