Chu Ren was about to say something when his wife whispered, "Master, have you forgotten that my younger brother's sons are in the northwest? Did your nephews send it?"
Mrs. Chu was shocked when she heard this and asked the postman, "Comrade, is this package from the northwest? Do you know who sent it?"
The postman nodded. "Yes! Isn't the address and name written on the mailing slip? It's from Chutian, the third team of the seventh company of the Xinjiang Red Flag Production Brigade!"
Old Mrs. Chu was overjoyed, "Oh, Chu Tian, this is from my good grandson!"
Chu Yi was also delighted. "Mom, that's great! Now we finally know the addresses of the four brothers!"
Only Chu Ren was still looking at the mailing slip with a confused look on his face. Among his brothers and sisters, only his youngest brother and two sisters could read, and he and Chu Yi only knew their own names, so he had no idea what was written on the mailing slip.
The postman was still busy. When he saw that he had confirmed the person, he said, "Don't forget to pick it up early." Then he rode away on his bike.
Mrs. Chu looked at Chu Ren, who was still in a daze, with a happy face. She punched him several times in displeasure, "Why are you still in a daze? Go and get the package my dear grandson sent!"
Chu Ren reacted and let out an "Ah" as he was about to run away, but was stopped by his wife.
"Boss, how fast can you run with your old arms and legs? Chu Jie is hoeing the vegetable patch in the backyard right now. I asked him to borrow a bicycle from the team leader's house and ride over!"
Mrs. Chu nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, let Chu Jie go!"
Chu Jie acted quickly and got the package back in less than an hour.
Chu Yi's wife watched Chu Jie unload a large package from the back seat and exclaimed, "Oh my! Why is it such a big package? What did you send back?"
Chu Jie put the package on the dining table with a bang and wiped the sweat from his forehead. "Grandma, the package is back!"
“Ouch!”
Old Mrs. Chu glanced at Chu Jie with dissatisfaction, and touched the package with eyes full of heartache, "Why are you using so much force? What if you damage the things inside?"
Chu Ren pushed Chu Jie who was standing in front of the table away and said, "Hey, don't block the light."
“···”
Chu Jie felt aggrieved. He had hurriedly retrieved the package. Why did his grandmother dislike him, and even his father disliked him?
"Mom, can you open it and see what's inside?"
As Chu Yi was about to help open it, he was slapped on the hand by Old Lady Chu.
"Don't move, I'll open it!"
Old Mrs. Chu carefully opened the package and took out the items one by one. The onlookers from the Chu family were so shocked that they didn't know what to say!
Finally, she took out a letter from her coat and handed it to Chu Jie, "Jie'er, come and take a look at what your brother said!"
Chu Jie took the letter and read it first. When he saw what was written on it, his eyes widened in shock. It was even more shocking than when he saw the items in the package just now!
Old Mrs. Chu narrowed her eyes and carefully observed Chu Jie's expression. Seeing that his expression was not right, she asked anxiously, "What's wrong? Did something happen to your four brothers?"
Chu Jie finished reading the letter and swallowed, "No, no accident..."
Old Madam Chu glared and angrily scolded, "If nothing unexpected happened, then what's the meaning of your expression as if your grandmother had died?"
Chu Jie sighed, "Grandma, I'd better read it to you!"
"...Grandma, this is what the letter says."
Old Madam Chu was so angry that she slammed her hands on the table and roared, "What does this damn Liu Zhaodi want to do? Ah? What does she want to do? How could my darling grandson be bullied by her like this? If I had known this would happen, why did I have to take Chu Tian away?"
Chu Ren and Chu Yi were both so angry that their faces turned blue. At first they said that they would keep Chu Tian and take care of him, but Liu Zhaodi insisted on taking him away. At that time, they all thought that Liu Zhaodi had changed for the better and would treat Chu Tian well. After all, Chu Tian was her own son, and even a tiger would not eat its own cubs!
What happened? Liu Zhaodi took Chu Tian away simply to continue abusing him and vent her anger! She was using Chu Tian as a punching bag!
Old Mrs. Chu's joy disappeared completely after she heard the content of the letter. She wished she could rush to Liu Zhaodi and tear her apart with her bare hands!
"No, no! I want to go to Xinjiang to support my grandson!"
Everyone was shocked when they heard this and started to stop them.
"Mom, you can't go! It's over 3,000 kilometers away, and it would take more than ten days to get there by train!"
"Yes, mother, it's such a long way. What if something happens to you on the way?"
"Grandma, you..."
"grandmother···"
"mother··"
“··”
Mrs. Chu's tears fell as she said dejectedly, "Then what do you say we should do? Are we just going to let me stay like this forever? Then won't my darling grandson be bullied in vain?"
Everyone was silent for a while. After a while, Chu Ren's eldest son, Chu Xing, suggested, "Grandma, didn't Xiao Shi give us the address? Why don't we write another letter and send it over to hear what Xiao Shi is like? Then we can make a decision."
(Chu Tian is the tenth child in his generation, so his brothers back home sometimes like to call him Little Ten!)
Old Mrs. Chu was silent for a long time with tears in her eyes. She wiped her tears and nodded with red eyes, "Okay, I'll listen to you. Then you can write a letter quickly and send it back to the commune!"
Chu Xing nodded and looked at his second uncle's youngest daughter, Chu Lifang, and said, "Lifang, your handwriting is the best in our family. Come and write a letter back to your tenth brother!"
Chu Lifang nodded hesitantly, "Brother, I'll write it right away!"
Chu Tian didn't know that Old Lady Chu wanted to go to Xinjiang to deal with his mother to vent his anger. He was holding two sets of four sets from the space and asked the sisters Yao Xiujuan to choose a suitable one and give it to Sun Weiguo as a wedding gift.
"How about it? Haven't you chosen yet? Just pick any one, right?"
Chu Tian saw that the two sisters had been struggling for half an hour and had not yet decided which set to give! Seeing that the time for Sun Weiguo to leave for his marriage was approaching, he could not help but urge them.
"But····"
Yao Xiujuan likes both sets very much and can’t bear to give her either one.
Chu Tian heard the entanglement and reluctance in Yao Xiujuan's tone, and looked over curiously. He saw Yao Xiujuan's hands rubbing the two four-piece suits. He knew that Yao Xiujuan had taken a fancy to these two four-piece suits and was reluctant to choose any one to give to Sun Weiguo, so he opened his mouth and made a suggestion.
"Xiujuan, how about giving her the set that says 'Happiness for a Hundred Years'? That set seems more suitable for newlyweds..."
After saying that, Chu Tian sighed slightly in his heart. In fact, he had spent a long time choosing these two sets in the space. They were the simplest of the four-piece sets with all kinds of flowers, and also the most suitable for newlyweds. Both sets had a bright red background. One set had a "Happiness for a Hundred Years" embroidered with colored thread on it, and the other set had only a few peony flowers on one end.
"good!"
