Old Madam Chu said impatiently, "Alright, stop talking about this. It's already happened. What's the point of saying that? You should think about how to treat these four children in the future!"

After she finished speaking, Old Lady Chu carried Chu Aidan back to her room, leaving Chu Jie alone in the main room, covering his head with his hands and regretting.

Yao Xiujuan saw Old Madam Chu leave. After thinking for a moment, she walked to the main hall door and looked at Chu Jie and said, "Brother Jie, it's getting late. Why don't you go back and rest first?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Jie lowered his hands from around his head, raised his head and looked at Yao Xiujuan who was standing at the door. He grinned at her and said apologetically, "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry for disturbing your rest."

Yao Xiujuan waved her hands quickly, "No, no."

Chu Jie stood up and walked towards the main hall. When he passed by Yao Xiujuan, he paused and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm going to trouble grandma to take care of Aidan recently..."

Yao Xiujuan smiled and said, "It's okay, Aidan can stay here. She is beautiful and Lele likes her very much."

Chu Jie gave a bitter smile, "What's the point of being pretty? I actually hope she's more average looking, as long as she doesn't have the same personality as Wang Meihua in the future..."

“····”

How should Yao Xiujuan respond to this? Chu Aidan is indeed the best looking of Chu Jie's four children. No, it should be said that all four of his children are good-looking, but Chu Aidan is more beautiful. Her appearance combines all the advantages of Wang Meihua and Chu Jie...

Chu Jie didn't expect Yao Xiujuan to respond, so he walked out of Chu Tian's yard as soon as he finished speaking.

Time passed quickly. I was busy going to and from work every day. Soon more than a month had passed. It was already mid-to-early October. The crops in the fields had been harvested one after another. Only cotton, some radishes, carrots, and other vegetables for the winter had not been harvested yet.

"Sister-in-law Xiujuan, hasn't Brother Tian come back yet?"

While bending over to pick cotton, Li Meiling asked Yao Xiujuan who was also picking cotton in a field next to her.

Yao Xiujuan glanced sideways at Li Meiling and said with a smile, "Didn't Weiguo tell you?"

Li Meiling was puzzled, "What did Weiguo tell me?"

Yao Xiujuan kept moving her hands. "Didn't Weiguo tell you that Brother Tian was going to Kouli this time and wouldn't be back for a few months?"

Li Meiling was stunned. "No, he never said that. I thought Brother Tian was still traveling around the southern and northern Xinjiang like he did in previous years..."

Yao Xiujuan straightened up, shook the cotton bag on her waist, and explained with a smile, "Maybe because you didn't ask, Weiguo didn't explain!"

After saying that, he paused, looked into the distance, and murmured, "I don't know where Brother Tian and the others are now..."

"A-choo, A-choo."

Chu Tian, ​​who was being worried about by Yao Xiujuan, was sneezing constantly at this time.

Chu Min glanced sideways at Chu Tian who was rubbing his nose, and smiled, "Little brother, it must be that your sister-in-law misses you."

Chu Tian rubbed his nose, looked at the lush greenery outside the car, and said lightly, "We have been walking for more than a month, and now we have finally arrived in Sichuan Province. We will probably arrive tonight. Once we get there, we can rest for a few more days before setting off again..."

Chu Min nodded, "Well, at this time, the team's autumn harvest should be almost over..."

After a pause, he continued, "After spending so much time in Xinjiang, I've gotten used to the dry weather. The further southwest we go, the more humid it becomes. This morning, when I got up, I found that my quilt felt damp to the touch. This has never happened in Xinjiang before."

Chu Tian smiled and said, "Well, I'm not used to it either."

Before dark, the convoy arrived at the gate of a division headquarters in Sichuan Province. After Officer Jiang from the division headquarters who came with the convoy went down to register, the guards at the Sichuan Provincial Division Headquarters checked them one by one before opening the gate to let them in.

Chu Min leaned over the steering wheel, watching Division Officer Jiang, who had come with the team, negotiate with the other division officer outside the car. "Isn't this conversation over yet? We've been talking for over half an hour, right?"

Chu Tian glanced at the division headquarters office building, thought for a moment and said, "They must be waiting for someone, right?"

As soon as he finished speaking, two men in military uniforms walked out of the division headquarters and strode towards the direction where they parked their car.

The two men shook hands with Officer Jiang who came with the car from the division headquarters, and pointed at their truck. One of the men nodded and said something with his mouth. Then Officer Lin ran to the driver's seat of the first car and said something to the driver inside. The first car started up immediately and drove towards the back of the division headquarters according to the instructions of the people below.

Seeing Secretary Jiang making gestures at him, Chu Tian hurriedly urged Chu Min.

"Second brother, hurry up..."

When they drove the truck to the door of a large warehouse behind, the drivers got out one by one.

"Comrades, you have worked hard. We have arranged for the canteen to prepare food. You can all go and eat first, and then we will send you to the guesthouse to have a good rest."

After saying that, he asked everyone to follow him to the cafeteria.

Chu Tian saw that the two men in military uniforms behind him were not there. The person left to arrange them was still the one who spoke to Officer Jiang who followed them in the car at the beginning.

Chu Min approached Chu Tian and said, "Little brother, are we leaving now? Don't we need to unload the goods on the truck?"

Chu Tian whispered, "Well, they should probably unload it themselves!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Tian turned around and saw that many young men in army green uniforms came to their trucks and started chattering as they unloaded the goods into the warehouse.

Chu Min also saw it. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Come to think of it, I still don't know what we gave away."

Chu Tian chuckled. "What do you care what they sent? What can we have in Xinjiang? I think it's nothing more than raisins, red dates, walnuts, and other supplies that Xinjiang produces in large quantities, right?"

Chu Min nodded, "What will we get in exchange?"

Chu Tian touched his chin and said, "I don't know. Anyway, no matter what they exchanged for, what does it have to do with us? In the end, they will definitely be sent to the army..."

Actually, Chu Tian didn't know many Sichuan iconic things. He only knew Sichuan peppercorns, Sichuan peppercorns, chili peppers, bacon, Chinese sausage, dried bamboo shoots, dried tribute vegetables, day lilies, and some other dried vegetables. And maybe Pixian fermented bean paste? Oh, and the future famous liquors like Wuliangye, Luzhou Laojiao, and Jiannanchun, seemed to be from Sichuan too?

Forget about bacon and sausages. Since there are fewer pigs these days, I guess they won't be able to exchange them for much. But, are there any Wuliangye, Luzhou Laojiao, and Jiannanchun liquors now? If so, he wants to collect more to keep for appreciation...

Also, I wonder if you'll stop by Guizhou when you leave Sichuan? That would be great, as you can collect some Moutai, which will be really valuable in the future.

Actually, he hadn't bought Moutai from the supply and marketing cooperatives in Xinjiang in the past few years. There was no other way. Xinjiang was too far away. Besides, Xinjiang had its own local wine, so the supply and marketing cooperatives didn't need to go through the trouble of transporting wine from Xinjiang...
