Chu Jie smiled and said, "It's good. My eldest brother goes back to the brigade to farm in the summer, and he can help out in the store during the winter when there's no farming. This way he can earn a lot of money a year."

Chu Tian agreed, "It's true that he makes a lot of money. I heard that my eldest cousin hired a lot of people to farm this year, and he just needs to watch over it..."

After chatting about all sorts of things, Chu Jie curiously asked Chu Tian, ​​"By the way, Xiao Shi, what exactly did you call me here for?"

Chu Tian looked at Chu Jie who was puzzled, then glanced at the people around who were having breakfast. After thinking for a while, he asked, "Do you give Ai Zhu pocket money every month?"

Chu Jie glanced at Chu Tian in confusion. "What do you think? Of course I will give her some pocket money! She's a girl studying in Beijing, and the school only gives her a little over twenty yuan a month. How could I not give her some pocket money?"

After a pause, he looked at Chu Tian in disbelief, "Don't tell me you don't give Xinxin pocket money every month?"

Chu Tian waved his hand, "I will definitely give it to you. Now tell me how much pocket money you give to Aizhu every month?"

"Twenty-five, sometimes thirty or thirty-five."

Although Chu Jie didn't understand why Chu Tian asked this, he still answered honestly.

Chu Tian was surprised. "You only make a little over 90 yuan a month now, right?"

Chu Jie shook his head. "No, my salary was adjusted in October this year. I'm currently making 112 yuan a month..."

“······”

Chu Tianxin thought that even if the salary increased, with a salary of 110 yuan per month, it would not be too little to give Aizhu a quarter or sometimes even a third of it as pocket money. You know, the salary of apprentices outside is only more than 20 yuan, so why did Chu Aizhu still do that for money...

"What's wrong? Why are you asking this?"

Chu Jie looked at Chu Tian in confusion, thinking his expression was weird.

Chu Tian looked at Chu Jie with a complicated expression and sighed, "Eat quickly, this place is not suitable for talking. After you finish eating, go to the company and I will tell you."

“·····”

Chu Jie didn't know why, but when he looked at Chu Tian, ​​he suddenly had a bad feeling.

"What did you say?"

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be true. Chu Jie jumped up from the chair. He stared at Chu Tian in disbelief, as if he wanted to see from Chu Tian's face that he was joking.

Chu Tian looked at Chu Jie helplessly, "Brother Jie, you know, I never joke with children."

Chu Jie knew who Chu Tian was. He clenched his hands tightly together, gritting his teeth and saying, "She, how dare she..."

Chu Tian rubbed his temples with a headache, "Brother Jie, now is not the time to pursue whether she dares or not. You should think about what to do in the future."

Chu Jie's voice was filled with unconcealable anger as he said, "What else can I do? She's not allowed to go to school in Jing City anymore. I'm going back to ask for leave and bring her back!"

"I can't control how shameless her mother Wang Meihua is, but as a girl from the Chu family, if she has no self-respect, I would rather beat her to death than let her continue to embarrass herself in public."

Seeing that he really turned around and was about to walk out, Chu Tian quickly stood up from behind his desk and stepped forward to hold Chu Jie, who was about to rush out angrily, "Brother Jie, Brother Jie, calm down..."

Chu Jie waved away Chu Tian who was holding him and roared, "How can you expect me to stay calm? If this happened to Xinxin, would you be able to stay calm?"

“·····”

Chu Tian took a deep breath and didn't bother with his thoughtless words. At the same time, he also refuted in his heart, judging from his Xiujuan's personality, her daughter Xinxin would not be as vain as Aizhu...

"Brother Jie, it's already December. They'll be on winter vacation in half a month at most. Even if you go now, it will be almost her winter vacation. It's better to wait until she comes back..."

Seeing Chu Jie calm down, Chu Tian said earnestly, "Brother Jie, children are growing up, especially girls. You can't teach them by beating or scolding them. You have to learn to be friends with them and talk to them about your heart..."

Chu Tian talked endlessly about his experience. Every child has a rebellious period in adolescence. He thought it was okay for boys, but it was different for girls. When girls rebelled, it was really...

At the end, Chu Tian added, "Brother Jie, I've always wanted to say that you were too focused on your work at the coal mine and paid too little attention to Aizhu and the others..."

"Why····"

Chu Jie wanted to explain that he worked so hard in the past just to give his children a better life, but in the end he just opened his mouth and all his words turned into a heavy sigh.

Soon, it was time for college students to go home for vacation. The Normal University in Beijing started their vacation a few days earlier than Peking University. Chu Aizhu did not wait for Xinxin and Siya, but bought a ticket and went home first. Xinxin and Siya did not care about this.

"father···"

Before she even walked out of the train station, Xinxin saw Chu Tian standing at the exit. She hadn't seen Chu Tian for several months. She didn't care about Si Ya and He Xiangyang. Qi Xinghe was still there, so she rushed out quickly and hugged Chu Tian's waist.

"Uncle..."

"Uncle Chu..."

"Uncle Chu..."

The three people walking behind looked at the excited Xinxin, smiled at each other, and followed.

Chu Tian reached out and patted Xinxin's head twice, then smiled and nodded at the three of them, "Are you tired? Let's go back to my house for dinner..."

Si Ya liked eating at Chu Tian’s house very much, so she readily said “yes” when she heard that.

But He Xiangyang and Qi Xinghe refused again and again, "No, no, let's go back and eat..."

Chu Tian waved his hand, "Don't refuse, I called Professor Qi and he has agreed."

Xinxin smiled and invited, "Brother He, Brother Qi, you took such good care of us at school, so it's just a meal, don't be polite."

"Sorry to bother you then!"

Chu Tian and Xinxin said so, and He Xiangyang and Qi Xinghe agreed without any hesitation.

Chu Tian chuckled, "Why be polite to Uncle Chu?"

The weather was cold and the road was slippery, so Chu Tian did not ride a tricycle to pick up Xinxin and the others. Instead, he took the four of them on the bus.

Si Ya, who was sitting on the bus, finally remembered to ask, "Uncle, why didn't my dad come to pick me up? Doesn't he know I'm coming back today?"

Chu Tian smiled and explained, "I know, but your father made an appointment with the director of a newly opened brick factory in the north of the city a few days ago to meet today, so I have to come alone to pick you up."

Si Ya said "Oh", "Okay, anyway, I know that in my father's heart, I am definitely not as important as those factory directors and managers!"

Xinxin laughed and patted Si Ya gently, "Don't talk nonsense, Second Uncle is doing this for business, you are definitely more important than them."

Si Ya curled her lips. Although she knew that Xinxin was right, she still muttered that her father just loved money.
