Seeing that Chu Jie had stopped talking, Chu Tian looked him up and down in surprise. After a moment, he asked, "Brother Jie, you don't still remember Wang Meihua, do you?"

Chu Jie snorted coldly and said disdainfully, "Remember her? What are you thinking? Even if all the women in the world died, I wouldn't remember her!"

“·····”

Well, Chu Jie didn't hate Wang Meihua that much when he divorced her, but when he found out that she was hanging out with hooligans in the brigade and even in other brigades, he hated her very much. Whenever he mentioned her, he wanted to strangle her to death.

Fortunately, Wang Meihua was no longer in their team. Because she had been seen so many times, Captain Sun threatened and warned her. She was afraid that the captain would really send her to the regiment headquarters, so she immediately chose the best widower among her several lovers, married him, and moved to the Fourth Team...

Originally, her household registration had not been moved there, but Captain Sun disliked her so much that he personally handled the formalities and handed them over to the captain of the Fourth Brigade the next day!

Chu Jie took a deep breath, raised his glass and clinked it with Chu Tian's. "Don't mention her. I feel sick when I think of her. I was so superficial back then. I only wanted to find a pretty girl so that I could show off..."

He couldn't help but sneered, "But, as I get older, I feel that appearance is really the least important..."

After he finished speaking, Chu Jie drank the wine at the bottom of the bowl in one gulp.

Chu Tian looked at Chu Jie's frown, sighed in his heart, and wanted to say something, but still said nothing. He followed him and finished the wine at the bottom of the bowl.

The men in the main room were drinking and chatting, the women in the inner room who had almost finished eating were also chatting, and the children were sitting together on the kang, laughing and playing.

Xinxin stood up and walked to Daya, snuggled up to her and whispered in her ear, "Sister Daya, my dad bought you a beautiful notebook and asked my uncle to bring it to you yesterday. Did you see it?"

Daya's eyebrows curved and she smiled very gently, "I saw it, it's very beautiful."

Xinxin looked at Daya's smile, which felt like the warm sunshine of spring, making her feel particularly comfortable. Her eyes were blank for a moment, and then she murmured.

"Sister Daya, you are so beautiful!"

Daya was stunned for a moment, then smiled even more gently. She reached out and gently pinched Xinxin's face, saying softly, "If we talk about beauty, our child Xinxin is definitely the most beautiful!"

Xinxin shook her head honestly, "Sister Daya, that's not the case. Sisters Aidan and Aizhu are the most beautiful ones in our family..."

Upon hearing this, Daya looked at Aizhu who was standing on the ground holding Aidan. She had to admit that both of them were beautiful, especially the younger Chu Aidan, who perfectly inherited all the advantages of Uncle Jie and Wang Meihua. She was indeed very beautiful.

However, Daya still smiled and said to Xinxin, "Aidan is the most beautiful, but in Daya's heart, Xinxin is no worse than Aidan, so our Xinxin is also the most beautiful."

"Sister Daya, is that true?"

"Of course. When has Sister Daya ever lied to anyone?"

"Sister Daya, what about Lele? Is Lele pretty?"

"Hmm? Lele hasn't grown up yet, so I can't say she's pretty, I can only say she's cute. But, Sister Daya thinks Lele will be very pretty when she grows up..."

"Sister Daya, what about me?"

"Sister Daya..."

"What about me? What about me?"

The women who were still eating nearby couldn't help laughing when they saw the girls in their families gathered around Daya and asked her if she was pretty.

Chu Ren's eldest daughter-in-law smiled and said to Chu Jun's wife Yu Zhen, "Qinglai's mother, your eldest daughter has a really good temper. She is very patient with her younger sisters. My daughter Aijiao doesn't have that much patience with her younger brothers and sisters..."

Chu Aijiao was about to get off the kang to go to the toilet, but when she heard her mother's words, she immediately became unhappy, "Mom, I'm still here!"

Chu Ren's eldest daughter-in-law glared at her. "What? Your mother scolded you, and she chose to do it when you were not around? You don't have the patience of your eldest cousin to begin with. What did your mother say wrong?"

"... Humph, I'm ignoring you."

Knowing she was in the wrong, Chu Aijiao stomped her feet in anger, turned around and ran out to the bathroom.

Yu Zhen looked at Chu Aijiao running out and smiled, "Daya really has a very good temper. Xiaoni and the two little ones like her very much, but Aijiao also has a very good temper."

Chu Ren's eldest daughter-in-law waved her hand and said, "Forget it! Because she was born after we had two sons. She was the only girl in our family at that time. Her father and two uncles spoiled her so much that she had a lot of temper!"

Yao Xiujuan was amused when she heard this, "Sister-in-law, when it comes to spoiling your daughter, I don't think my cousin can compare to my Chu Tian!"

The others nodded in agreement upon hearing this, "Yes, yes, if we really talk about spoiled daughters, none of us can compare to Chu Tian!"

"Haha, Chu Tian really loves his daughter..."

The first day of the Lunar New Year is the day for New Year's greetings. The Chu Tian family got up early. Yao Xiujuan and Chu Tian prepared a lot of orange candies, milk candies and various fruit candies and placed them in the main hall. They also wrapped many small red envelopes of fifty cents each in red paper and kept them for the children to give to them when they came to pay New Year's greetings.

Old Mrs. Chu prepared three cloth bags that could only hold half a pound of things at most, and slung them across the shoulders of Xinxin and the other two. They were specifically for them to put melon seeds, candies, etc. in when they visited their acquaintances in the brigade to pay New Year's greetings...

After a lively day, the next day was the second day of the Chinese New Year, the day when married girls returned to their parents' home, so everyone went to bed early.

The next morning, Chu Tian took Yao Xiujuan and their three children, and Li Jianmin took Yao Xiuli and his daughter, and they rode two bicycles to the regiment headquarters early in the morning. They first sent their wives and children to the waiting hall of the bus station to wait, and then the two of them rode their bicycles to the transport team, locked the bicycles in the shed in the compound, and then hurried to the bus station to meet their wives and daughters.

In recent years, Yao Xiujuan and Yao Xiuli would basically choose to go back to their parents' home on the second day of the Lunar New Year every year, so Yao Youjun would drive a horse-drawn carriage and wait outside the bus station of their regiment early. After seeing the Red Flag Corps' car arrive, Yao Youjun stood beside the car, and when he saw people getting out of the car and hugging everyone, he hurried to greet them.

"Uncle..."

"Friendly forces..."

"Big sister, big brother-in-law, little sister, brother-in-law, Xinxin, Pingping, Lele, Huaiyu, are you here?"

Yao Xiujuan smiled and nodded. "Well, why are you here to pick us up? Didn't you accompany Jiali back to her parents' home?"
