While eating, Yao Xiujuan saw Chu Tian wiping the corners of Wu Ya's mouth from time to time, and couldn't help but say, "Brother Tian, ​​she knows how to eat, don't spoil Wu Ya too much..."

Chu Tian looked at Wu Ya's bulging cheeks and couldn't help but smile gently, "The most carefree time for a girl is when she is with her parents. I hope our Wu Ya can grow up happily..."

"Besides, girls should be pampered when they grow up, so that they won't be easily deceived by men with bad intentions."

Chu Tian touched Wu Ya's head and said earnestly, "Wu Ya, you must remember that you are the eldest child of our family. Even if you have brothers or sisters, you are still the eldest child held in the palm of your father's hand! No man is allowed to bully you, including your brother..."

Wu Ya nodded in confusion, "Dad, Wu Ya remembers it."

Yao Xiujuan, “…”

Since the family had already separated, Chu Tian did not plan to continue living in the old Chu family. After lunch, he went to the brigade headquarters to find Captain Sun.

"You want me to allocate you a plot of land? It's not a big deal. I can allocate it to you anytime, but..."

Captain Sun put down the pen in his hand, looked at Chu Tian, ​​hesitated for a moment and said, "It's just snowy and icy now. Even if I give you a piece of land, you can't build a house..."

Chu Tian nodded slightly, "I know, but you also know that my mother hates me. We didn't separate before, so there was no other way, we had to live in the same yard!"

"But now we've separated. If we continue to live in the same courtyard, there will be chaos every day. I don't mind, but Xiujuan is pregnant and Wuya is still too young. I really..."

Although Chu Tian didn't finish his words, Captain Sun understood what he meant. After thinking for a moment, he tapped the table with his fingers and said tentatively, "Right now, the only vacant house in our brigade is the brigade headquarters, but you are not suitable to live here. There are other vacant dugouts, but..."

Chu Tian thought about the empty dugouts in the brigade and hesitated, "The captain is not talking about the dugouts in the educated youth camp, right?"

Captain Sun nodded slightly. "There are only a few complete adobe dwellings left in the educated youth camp. Actually, it's a good idea for you to live there now. The educated youth have all gone to work in the coal mines recently, so you won't see them often. When they stop going to the coal mines, the ground will thaw, and then you can remove the adobe bricks and build a house..."

Chu Tian only thought about it for a moment before agreeing with Captain Sun. "Then I'll go pack up and move over as soon as possible in the next two days."

After a pause, he said, "By the way, Captain, you are going to the regiment tomorrow, right?"

Captain Sun was searching the drawer for the keys to the dugouts. Hearing this, he replied without even looking up, "Ah, yes. First, to separate your household registration, and second, isn't it the day after tomorrow, Little New Year? I need to report the accounts to the regiment headquarters and plan to distribute money to everyone during the Little New Year..."

As he said this, he finally dug out a few keys from the innermost part of the drawer, "Oh, I found it."

It is said that when he knew that the educated youth were coming, he got a lot of padlocks and locked up the few vacant dugouts, so that if more educated youth came in the future, they would have a place to stay. As for why he locked it up, wasn't it because he was afraid that the educated youth would ruin it?

Chu Tian looked at the key in his hand and asked, "Is this the key to the vacant nest at the Youth League site?"

Captain Sun said, "Well, go open them all and take a look. You can live in the one that suits you for now."

After thanking Captain Sun, Chu Tian took the key and left. There were four vacant dugouts. Chu Tian looked at each one and finally chose one with two rooms inside and outside. It was also the largest one among the four, twice as big as the dugout Chu Tian lived in now!

After locking the other three dungeons again, Chu Tian left. He planned to return the keys and then take a broom and rag to clean up...

Early the next morning, Chu Tian followed Captain Sun to the regiment. One reason was for the household registration issue, and the other was because Yao Youjun wanted to work in the steel plant. He wanted to find out more about it from Li Gang. If they really were going to recruit workers after the New Year, he had to find out now. The third reason was to take advantage of the opportunity to get some more ingredients from the space. He had only two bowls of flatbread and porridge every day without any side dishes. He was really fed up with it. He wanted to eat something flavorful, even pickles would be fine!

Chu Tian looked at the names of the family of three written on a brand new household registration, and his lips curled up slightly.

However, looking at Wu Ya's name, Chu Tian frowned slightly, "Captain, can this name be changed?"

The captain looked at Chu Tian doubtfully, but nodded. "Okay, who are you going to revise it for?"

Chu Tian pointed at the three characters "Chu Wuya" and said, "Wuya's name is so ugly! I'm afraid Wuya will blame me when I go to school!"

The captain smiled when he heard this. "Sure, but it will take a month to change it. You can come back after the New Year when you've decided on a name, or before Wu Ya goes to school!"

Chu Tian nodded. He wanted to go back and think about what to name it! What flower, emerald, chrysanthemum, forget it...

"Captain, what about you? I'm going to buy some things for the house..."

"Go ahead, I'll probably be done in two or three hours."

Captain Sun waved his hand. He had just seen many captains of the brigades go to the finance office of the regiment headquarters. He estimated that it would take him a long time to go there now.

Chu Tian hid in the space and disguised himself slightly. He carried some cut pork in a basket and did not go to the black market. Instead, he went directly to the house that Li Gang took him to last time. After looking around and seeing that there were no pedestrians, Chu Tian raised his arm and knocked a few times.

Soon, footsteps were heard in the courtyard, and Chu Tian heard a familiar voice shouting, "Who is it?"

Chu Tian coughed twice, "The waterfall plunges three thousand feet..."

The person inside the door paused, then immediately opened the door. Seeing Chu Tian's pockmarked face, he smiled slightly and quickly stepped aside. "Brother Chu Fei, you're here? Come in..."

(Chu Fei is Chu Tian’s fake name on the black market!)

Chu Tian nodded with a smile, carrying the sack into the main room where the last transaction took place, and then asked, "Is Brother Li Gang not here?"

Xu Fei smiled and said, "No, but Brother Li Gang told me a few days ago that when you come, let me go and call him. He has been staying in the black market since the New Year..."

Chu Tian paused for a moment, "Brother Li Gang has been looking for me recently?"

Xu Fei nodded. "Yes, I did. It seems that the food you brought was selling well."

He hurriedly poured a glass of water for Chu Tian and said, "Brother Chu Fei, please sit for a while. I'll ask someone to call Brother Li Gang..."

After saying that, he ran out, leaving Chu Tian looking at the empty house in bewilderment. He thought to himself, this Xu Fei is really careless. He just left him, a stranger he had only met once, in the house. Isn't he afraid that he might steal something?
