It was already noon when they arrived at Hongqi Regiment. Chu Tian had used up all his food coupons. Fortunately, the pancakes that Yao's mother had made for him earlier were not finished yet. The family of three ate some pancakes and continued on their journey. However, their luck was not so good this time. They walked for more than two hours without seeing a carriage...

"Xiujuan, are you tired? If so, let's take a break."

Yao Xiujuan smiled and said, "I'm not tired. I've been sitting in the carriage for the whole morning, so it's nice to take a walk."

"You must be tired after carrying Wu Ya for so long. How about letting Wu Ya walk on her own for a while?"

Chu Tian looked at the large group that was already vaguely visible in the distance and smiled, "It's okay, Wu Ya is not heavy."

In the northwest winter, it gets dark much earlier than in the summer, around seven o'clock. Fortunately, Chu Tian's family of three walked fast and finally arrived at their doorstep before dark.

When they got home, Chu Tian and his wife and daughter did not go back to the cave. Instead, they took off their coats and put them in a backpack, then walked straight into the main room.

Even standing at the door, Chu Tian could see that the food on the table looked very neatly arranged. He knew that they hadn't started eating yet, so he shouted exaggeratedly, "Oh, they say it's better to be lucky than to be early. Look how lucky our family of three is. We just made it in time for dinner."

Chu Wen was stunned for a moment when he saw this, then reacted. He stood up and was about to say something when he saw Chu Tian put Wu Ya down and said curiously, "Let me see, what did you eat in the evening when our family of three was not here..."

As he spoke, he approached the dining table and saw a large bowl of steamed egg cake in front of Chu Lao San and his sons. He exclaimed in an even more exaggerated manner, "Oh, Mom, didn't you say that we had finished eating the eggs? How come..."

He paused and looked at Chu Wen again, his tone full of reprimand, "Third brother, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you earn a salary every month and eat rations. What can't you eat in the regiment? How can you have the nerve to ask our mother to buy eggs for you? You don't even know that our mother usually doesn't even want to cook eggs..."

Chu Wen raised his hand, wanting to explain, "Old Four..."

Just as he said that, Chu Tian exclaimed again, "Oh my God, Mom, are we living a normal life? Why are you making such thick porridge? Didn't you say we have no food at home? You used up three days' worth of food in just one meal, didn't you?"

As he said this, he did not forget to look at Liu Zhaodi, whose face was ashen, with his heart and eyes full of disapproval.

"Mom, I'm telling you, what's the point of you loving my third brother? He's like a live-in son-in-law now. He can't even go home twice a year, and he's always being filial to his parents-in-law. Why are you still so nice to him? You might as well love my eldest brother more! After all, you're going to live with my eldest brother in the future, and when you die of old age, you'll need my eldest brother to do you a favor..."

Liu Zhaodi slapped the table with a slap, her face livid. "Chu Tian, ​​what nonsense are you talking about?"

Chu Tian blinked and said innocently, "Mom, why is your son talking nonsense? Are you saying that it's wrong for my third brother to be a son-in-law? But isn't that something that everyone on our team knows?"

"Or are you saying that when you die of old age, your eldest son will smash the pot for you? But this is the custom passed down by our ancestors!"

"No matter how much you love my third brother, you can't break the rules!"

Look at Liu Zhaodi, Chu Tian still looks aggrieved!

Liu Zhaodi stood up and pointed at Chu Tian with a trembling finger, "You, you, you rebellious son..."

Chu Tian didn't care at all when he heard that. He put away the grievance on his face and sneered, "Mom, honest advice may be unpleasant to the ears but beneficial to action. It's better for you to listen to your son."

Without waiting for Liu Zhaodi to continue, he looked at Chu Wen and grinned, "Third brother, look, your sister-in-law and niece have been traveling all day. You don't mind giving them this bowl of egg cake, do you?"

"Look at what you said, why would I mind? This is just a side dish for everyone..."

Could Chu Wen say no? Of course not! Could he say it was made specifically for him? Definitely not! Even if it was really made for the three of them!

Chu Tian was happy and clapped his hands in an exaggerated manner, "Oh, look, in this family, third brother is still the best and the most capable person. Thank you very much, little brother."

As he spoke, he moved two stools from the side and called to Daya, "Daya, help Fourth Uncle get three sets of bowls and chopsticks."

Daya quickly stood up and said, "Hey, I'll go right away."

Chu Tian helped Yao Xiujuan to sit down, and put Wu Ya in her arms and sat down. After Daya brought the bowl and chopsticks over, he started to fill three bowls of porridge from the porridge bowl on the table, and then brought the steamed egg cake in front of Chu Wen to Yao Xiujuan.

He said calmly, "Xiujuan, this is what our Third Brother gave you and Wu Ya to eat. Eat it quickly and don't leave any leftovers, otherwise you will be wasting Third Brother's kindness."

Yao Xiujuan, “…”

Everyone, “…”

Neither Liu Zhaodi nor Chu Wen said anything, but Chu Wen's children were unhappy.

Sanya pouted, looking unhappy. "Dad, why does she, a money-loser, deserve to eat my egg cake?"

Chu Wen quickly covered Sanya's mouth, "What nonsense are you talking about? That's my sister..."

San Ya was usually spoiled. She pushed Chu Wen's hand away and pointed at Wu Ya angrily, "I'm not talking nonsense. She is just a money-loser..."

As he said this, he didn't forget to glare at Wu Ya fiercely.

Wu Ya was so scared that she shrank into Yao Xiujuan's arms and dared not eat.

The fake smile on Chu Tian's face disappeared instantly. He slowly raised his head and looked at San Ya with cold eyes.

"San Ya, who told you that Wu Ya is a money-loser?"
