Chu Tian had no idea that Sanzhu, who had been out playing all day, was beaten by the furious Chu Min that night and would not be able to get out of bed for the next few days. He was watching Yao Xiujuan beating Lele, and he was in a dilemma.

"Um, Xiujuan..."

Yao Xiujuan turned around and looked at Chu Tian angrily, "Brother Tian, ​​it's all your fault. If you hadn't spoiled Lele all the time, how could she be so disobedient? Did I ask her to do her homework for me? I did it for her, okay?"

"She didn't finish her homework during last winter break. What happened? On the first day of school this year, the teacher pulled her to the podium!"

"When she got home from school that day, she cried all night and even promised herself that she would definitely finish her homework during the holidays!"

"I was very relieved at the time, thinking that it's okay even if Lele doesn't study well. As long as she has this attitude, she'll be fine. Today, I was busy with the store clerk putting in new stock while helping her with her homework."

"As a result, all day long, she either needed to go to the toilet, was thirsty, hungry, sleepy, or had finger or stomach pain..."

"A whole day, a whole day, and she didn't even finish two pages of Chinese homework!"

Looking at Yao Xiujuan's two fingers that seemed to want to poke Lele's face, and then looking at Lele's face full of tears, Chu Tian opened his mouth but said nothing.

Old Mrs. Chu shook her head, stood up and went back to the house to rest, while Pingping and Xinxin still stood by.

Yao Xiujuan was probably angry but had nowhere to vent, so she glared at Xinxin and Heping, "It's so late, why don't you go back to the room and sleep? What else do you want to do?"

Xinxin and Pingping saw Chu Tian winking at them. The two looked at each other and Xinxin stepped forward to say, "Mom, don't be angry. Pingping and I will help Lele with her summer homework starting tomorrow. We will definitely finish it before school starts..."

Pingping nodded repeatedly, walked forward and pulled Lele behind her, "Mom, you are busy, my sister and I will teach Lele, you can rest assured..."

Yao Xiujuan frowned when she saw this and was about to say something when she saw Chu Tian put his arm around her shoulders and led her to the bedroom, with one hand behind his back gesturing. The two children also hurriedly pulled Lele back to Xinxin's bedroom.

Chu Tian looked at Yao Xiujuan who was sitting angrily on the bed and comforted her softly, "Xiujuan, each of the nine sons of a dragon is different. We have Xinxin and Pingping, who are excellent. Lele is just like that. It's no use for you to be so tough with her..."

Yao Xiujuan was furious and shouted, "Brother Tian!"

Chu Tian put his index finger to his lips and shushed twice, "Okay, okay, stop yelling. Our Lele has many advantages besides being a bad student..."

Yao Xiujuan glared. "What are these advantages? The ability to eat, drink, be spoiled, love to act, and love to act like a spoiled child?"

Chu Tian touched his nose, feeling unsure, "Isn't she still young? She'll be sensible when she grows up. Besides, didn't Xinxin and Pingping say they would teach her?"

Speaking of small, Yao Xiujuan became even more angry. "How are they small? When Xinxin and Pingping were Lele's age, when did you and I ever worry about their studies?"

Chu Tian said helplessly, "You can't compare Xinxin and Pingping..."

Yao Xiujuan snorted coldly, "Then who should I take? Si Ya or Ai Zhu?"

Chu Tian, ​​"..."

Yao Xiujuan stared at Chu Tian. Seeing that he was speechless, she asked helplessly, "What do you say about Lele? He's not stupid, but he just doesn't want to study. How is he going to get into university in the future..."

Chu Tian hugged Yao Xiujuan and comforted her, "There will always be a suitable one for her. It doesn't matter if she's not good at studying. As long as we can find her hobbies, we can develop her in that direction in the future!"

Seeing Yao Xiujuan was about to glare at him, Chu Tian smiled and said, "Don't worry, I work so hard to make money, not only to make our lives better, but also to let our children grow up without burden..."

Yao Xiujuan stared at Chu Tian for a long while before she sighed in a compromising manner, "I can't argue with you, so you can do whatever you want! Anyway, with Lele's academic performance, let alone college, it's even a question whether he can get into high school in the future..."

Chu Tian quickly assured her, "No, no, I will help her with her homework every day. No matter what, she will definitely be able to go to high school. If she works hard, she will definitely be able to go to college..."

“····”

Yao Xiujuan was silent for a moment, then sighed and said, "You're so busy, how can I ask you to help her with her homework every day? I think it's better to let Xinxin and Pingping do it!"

Chu Tian chuckled, "No matter who we are, we will definitely improve her grades..."

Summer goes and winter comes, the beginning of summer and the winter solstice repeat themselves in a cycle. Two years passed quickly and it was already 1983.

This year, the first batch of college students graduated and were assigned by the state to various positions where staff were in short supply.

This year, Xinxin was admitted to Peking University's financial management major with good grades, Pingping was admitted to the first year of high school with excellent grades that were among the top five in the grade, and Lele also successfully entered junior high school.

This year, after three years of trials and tribulations, the "Ruixing Construction Company" opened by Chu Tian, ​​Chu Min and Zuo Zhuang has become increasingly powerful. The construction team has grown from only forty or fifty masters and apprentices at the beginning to nearly two hundred people now, some of whom are retired rural veterans who were successively accepted by Chu Tian.

With more people, they have taken on more and more projects. For example, 80% of the buildings in the military corps around Urumqi and 40% of the buildings in the city have been contracted by them, and they are currently gradually expanding to the prefectures and cities.

This year, Chu Tian's family's three stores, including the grain, oil and grocery store, closed down because, firstly, the things in the space were almost sold out, and secondly, he really didn't have time to buy groceries. In addition, its profits were not as big as those of clothing and shoes. Most importantly, he and Yao Xiujuan really didn't have the energy to manage it!

Therefore, Chu Tian simply closed the grain, oil and grocery store, connected it with the clothing store, and expanded the clothing store.

This year, Yao Xiujuan has become more capable of working on her own. Since she took her staff to Kouli to purchase goods two years ago, she has been taking the two male staff she hired later, as well as Li Doudou, Wang Yanfang and others to Kouli three or four times a year to purchase new goods.

That year, with the help of Chu Tian and Chu Min, the Chu army built a pig farm in the brigade after the autumn harvest of 1981. At the end of 1981, they only raised a few piglets, but by 1983, the farm had expanded to nearly 200 pigs...

In short, a lot of things have happened in these two years, but they have all been moving in a positive direction.

"Xinxin, are you done packing?"

Chu Tian stood downstairs, looking at the time many times, and finally couldn't help but shouting towards the upstairs.

Xinxin poked her head out of the window, a bright smile on her pretty face, and shouted to Chu Tian, ​​"Dad, I'll be ready soon, wait for me a little longer..."
