In the next few days, Chu Tian would take some different vegetables, fruits, meats, etc. and put them in the kitchen every morning, asking Yao Xiuli to cook fresh ones for Yao Xiujuan every day. The extra food for each meal would be taken care of by Yao Xiuli, Chu Tian, and Wu Ya, no, Xinxin. As a result, Yao Xiuli and Xinxin, who ate confinement meals together, gained a lot of weight.
Except for Chu Tian, he has to do extremely strenuous farm work every day. It is impossible for him not to lose weight, so how could he possibly gain weight?
You should know that during the spring plowing and autumn harvest every year, most families with little food stored at home will become extremely thin. Even if there is enough food to eat, they will lose all the weight they have gained in the winter...
"Ah, the sowing is finally done, I can take a break for a few days..."
Chu Tian sat paralyzed on the ground, not wanting to move at all...
Sun Weiguo sat next to Chu Tian and poured cold water on him, "My father said that everyone can rest for a day or two, and then we have to go to the wasteland to open up wasteland and continue sowing..."
"By the way, if it doesn't rain in a few days, I'll have to go out and water the corn and cotton fields..."
Chu Tian suddenly turned his head and glared at Sun Weiguo, "That's all going to happen in two days. Can you please not bring up that annoying thing when I'm relaxing?"
Sun Weiguo, "..."
At this time, Chu Min came over, looked down at Chu Tian who was slumped on the ground, took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Chu Tian, "The captain asked me to bring it to you. I see that the envelope is another letter from my hometown."
Chu Tian was stunned for a moment, "Another letter? Why is it so fast this time?"
It hasn't been long since he last replied? Logically, there shouldn't be enough time!
By the way, Chu Tian showed Chu Min the letter the old lady and her family sent last time when he went to work the next day. The letter said that the eldest uncle and the second uncle did not agree with the old lady asking their brothers to raise the child, saying that the old lady's two sons were still alive, and even if she was gone, the eldest grandson should raise the child, and they didn't need to raise the child at all. It also said that whether the old lady came or not depended on the old lady, and if she came, she would tell them...
Chu Tian's reply that day was that everything depended on the old lady's opinion. If she wanted to come, she could take him in. If she didn't want to come, they would provide for her like the other brothers every year.
Chu Min raised his chin and gestured, "Look at what he wrote this time!"
Chu Tian took it but didn't open it. Instead, he looked at Chu Min and joked, "Second brother, why don't you open it yourself and take a look?"
Chu Min smiled and said helplessly, "This is for you, why should I open it? If grandma and the others send me a letter someday, I will definitely open it first!"
Chu Tian smiled and nodded, tore open the envelope, unfolded the letter, and found that this time there was no long speech like the previous two times, but only a few short lines of words. That is, Mrs. Chu, accompanied by her grandson Chu Jie and youngest granddaughter Chu Lifang, had secretly run to the city and boarded the train to Xinjiang on the 28th of last month. If there is no delay, it is estimated that she will arrive on the morning of the 5th...
Chu Tian raised his head and stared at Chu Min seriously, "...Second brother, can you vacate one of the two rooms you live in?"
Chu Min saw with his own eyes that the smile on Chu Tian's face froze. Just as he was about to ask him what happened, he was stunned when he heard his question.
"Ah? Sure, what's wrong?"
Chu Tian handed the letter to Chu Min, stood up, patted the dirt off his butt, and said helplessly, "Our grandmother took advantage of the fact that the eldest uncle and the second uncle and others were working in the fields, secretly found the team leader to issue a letter of introduction, took the money and ran away..."
Sun Weiguo was dumbfounded. "What do you mean by running away secretly?"
Chu Tian rubbed his temples. "She ran away secretly," he said. "My uncle and his family didn't agree to the old lady coming now. They said we should wait until the farming off-season. But the old lady couldn't wait any longer, so she ran away with one of her grandsons and granddaughters..."
Even Chu Min, who was usually calm and composed, was no longer calm. He shook the letter in his hand in disbelief, "What does this letter mean? Was it sent by grandma before she left?"
Chu Tian thought for a moment and said, "They should have sent it after buying the ticket, right? Otherwise, how would they know to take the train on the 28th, and how would they know to arrive on the 5th?"
Chu Min nodded and agreed, "You are right."
Sun Weiguo shouted, "Ah, Brother Tian, Brother Chu Min, today is already the 4th! Didn't you say you'd arrive on the 5th? Isn't that tomorrow?"
Chu Tian, Chu Min, "..."
On the train, Chu Jie looked at Old Lady Chu with dissatisfaction, "Grandma, you are really too willful. No matter what, you should have told my father and Second Uncle before leaving! If I hadn't seen you and Lifang secretly running to find the captain with a package on your back, would you have taken Lifang and run away secretly? Do you know how dangerous it is for an illiterate old lady like you to go out?"
Old Mrs. Chu pinched Chu Jie's arm fiercely, looked around at the people sitting around, and leaned close to Chu Jie, lowering her voice and saying, "You little bastard, that's enough! I've been scolding you on the road for a few days, and you're still going against me, aren't you?"
Chu Jie gasped in pain, "It hurts, grandma, please let go, what did I say wrong? It's true! How old are you? You're still running away from home? You don't know how worried my dad and second uncle must be!"
Mrs. Chu loosened her grip, but still protested unconvincedly, "Didn't I ask Lifang to leave a note? And the captain will definitely tell your father and the others what Lifang and I are doing! Anyway, I have the money, the address, and Lifang is with me, so there's nothing to worry about!"
Chu Jie snorted coldly, "Lifang is at the age of blooming, and you're the only illiterate old lady around. You're the kidnappers' favorite target. When the time comes, they'll beat you to death with a stick, tie up Lifang, and sell her off to the mountains! I wonder if you'll cry when the time comes!"
Mrs. Chu said with a guilty conscience, "No, that's not the case..."
Chu Jie glared, "Of course not? Have you forgotten that there was a girl in our commune who had a quarrel with her family and ran to the county town, and was eventually kidnapped by kidnappers?"
Old Mrs. Chu hesitated and said, "No, didn't I find it back?"
Chu Jie rolled his eyes. "Yes, she was found, but the girl was also ruined. She was abused by someone. Don't you know that?"
Mrs. Chu felt extremely guilty when she heard this, but she still pretended to be calm and said, "Oh, oh, I know, please stop talking!"
"I····"
Chu Jie wanted to say something when Chu Lifang came back with boiled water.
"Brother Jie, the restroom is not crowded right now. Don't you want to go to the restroom? Go quickly."
Chu Jie nodded and stood up, sternly admonishing, "Lifang, take care of grandma. Don't go there. No matter who told you to do anything, don't go! Just sit here honestly! If you dare to run around, I'll beat you up..."
Chu Jie waved his fist as he spoke.
“·····”
