When Chu Tian returned to the brigade on his bicycle, he instantly caused a sensation throughout the brigade! Everyone who saw him surrounded Chu Tian and asked him all sorts of questions. As a result, Chu Tian rode for more than half an hour to reach the educated youth station, which should have taken only a few minutes!
"Hey, my dear grandson, where did this come from?"
Chu Tian had just entered the courtyard of the educated youth site on his bicycle and had not yet had time to get off when he was spotted by Old Lady Chu, who had been staring at the gate, and she immediately came to greet him.
Chu Tian got off his bicycle, pushed it to the door of the dugout, and explained with a smile, "Grandma, this is what my grandson bought today!"
Mrs. Chu was shocked. "Bought it?"
Chu Tian smiled and nodded, "Yeah."
Old Mrs. Chu clapped her hands, and words of praise seemed to flow out as if they were free. "Oh, my dear grandson is really amazing. He is worthy of being grandma's dear grandson. He can even buy such a good bicycle. My dear grandson is really great, my dear grandson..."
"Grandma, grandma, as long as you have money and tickets, anyone can buy it..."
Chu Tian was a little shy when he was praised. He thought to himself that Old Madam Chu really doted on his original body without any limit. If he had not been taken away from Old Madam Chu since he was a child, he estimated that if his original body had a bad temper, he would definitely be spoiled...
Old Madam Chu disagreed, "That only works if they have money and tickets! Even if they have money, they may not have tickets. Even if they have tickets, they may not be willing to spend money on them. Even if they are willing to spend money, they may not be able to buy them!"
"In short, my good grandson is the best!"
Chu Tian was confused by Old Lady Chu. Afraid that she would continue to praise him, he quickly changed the subject and said, "Grandma, I bought some lamb chops today. Can I make you some lamb chops pilaf from Xinjiang for lunch?"
Mrs. Chu's attention was indeed diverted, and she asked in confusion, "What is lamb chop pilaf?"
Chu Tian smiled slightly, "You'll know after you try it..."
As he said this, he unloaded the things from the bicycle and prepared to go into the dugout.
Chu Tian stepped into the dugout, put the ingredients on the table, and walked into the inner room. He saw Yao Youjun holding his son, and asked in surprise.
"Friendly? Did you take a break?"
Yao Youjun looked at Chu Tian with joy and quickly stood up, "Brother-in-law, you're back."
Chu Tian nodded and said, "Well, when did you come back?"
Yao Xiujuan smiled and continued, "Brother Tian, the friendly forces have only been back for less than an hour..."
Seeing his nephew in his arms pouting uncomfortably, as if about to cry, Yao Youjun quickly returned the child to Yao Xiujuan, who was lying on the kang, and said, "Sister, my nephew seems to be about to cry..."
Yao Xiujuan carefully patted the baby in the cradle, "He's hungry..."
"Hey, I'm going to go out and talk with my friends."
With that, Chu Tian pulled Yao Youjun out, leaving Old Lady Chu and the others behind.
Yao Youjun was pulled to the door by Chu Tian. Without waiting for Chu Tian to say anything, he took out eighteen yuan from his pocket and handed it to Chu Tian. "Brother-in-law, this is my salary for last month."
Chu Tian didn't say he didn't need to pay it back. Since he had said it was a loan, he had to pay it back. He took it without hesitation, counted it, and saw it was eighteen yuan. After thinking for a while, he took out three more yuan and handed it to him. "You are an adult now. It's not okay to be penniless. You have to pay me fifteen yuan every month, and keep the rest for yourself in case of emergency."
Yao Youjun wanted to say that he had no place to spend the money, but when he heard Chu Tian say "be obedient", he shut up and honestly took the three dollars.
Chu Tian smiled and said, "I'll pay fifteen every month. If I can't pay it back a few times, I'll pay it off. Then I can save the remaining money to get married."
Yao Youjun's ears turned red when he heard this, and he said embarrassedly, "I, I'm not in a hurry yet. I'm still an apprentice. I'll talk about it after I pass the exam and get a formal job."
Chu Tian nodded slightly in agreement, "That's right, a man should be ambitious."
After a pause, he continued, "However, it's also possible to start a family first and then build a career, provided that you really understand and like each other..."
"I, I understand..."
Yao Youjun's face turned slightly red. He had become close to his master later on. His master had also asked him if he was engaged, when he wanted to get engaged, and what kind of person he wanted to find...
Old Mrs. Chu in the house watched her great-grandson sucking milk vigorously with his little mouth, and looked at Yao Xiujuan with admiration on her face, "My dear grandson, you have taken good care of my dear great-grandson. He is only about twenty days old, but I think he is fatter than those full-month-old babies. He is really a delight to watch!"
Yao Xiujuan called out embarrassedly, "Grandma..."
"Oh, don't be embarrassed, grandma is praising you!"
Looking at the gentle smile on Yao Xiujuan's face, Old Madam Chu thought to herself that such a docile granddaughter-in-law must have been bullied by that damn woman Liu Zhaodi before!
Oh, what if she left without any peace of mind? What if she left and her beloved grandson and his wife were bullied by that evil woman again?
Chu Tian had no idea that Old Lady Chu was worried about whether they would be bullied by Liu Zhaodi in the future. At this moment, he and Chu Min, who had come to find him, were taking Chu Jie and Yao Youjun to their house to see the dug foundation.
"Brother Min, Xiao Shi, when do you plan to start construction?"
Chu Jie looked at both foundations and expressed his curiosity.
Chu Min explained, "We would like to start construction right now, but haven't we just finished spring plowing? The team members haven't recovered yet. I plan to visit a few familiar families later to see if they can come and help build the house in the next few days..."
Chu Tian was surprised. "Starting now? Didn't the team leader say that we should start clearing the land before the crops sprout?"
Chu Min chuckled, "Is there a hard requirement for everyone to go to open up wasteland? Besides, the work points for opening up wasteland are not particularly high. Many people who don't really need those work points choose to take a few more days off during this time, or plant vegetables in their own gardens first."
"It's always been like this in previous years. Have you forgotten?"
After saying that, he looked at Chu Tian strangely.
Chu Tian's heart skipped a beat. He laughed awkwardly, "I was so excited about my grandma coming that I forgot about it. I'll go find someone later."
Chu Min hummed, "By the way, I went to the brick kiln this morning and told them that they can start delivering bricks here tomorrow."
"Then we'll take turns sleeping here at night and guarding the bricks."
"OK."
Chu Tian knew that bricks were a hot commodity these days. Some dishonest old ladies liked to steal two bricks from other people's brick piles today, three bricks tomorrow. If the owner wasn't careful, an old lady could steal one or two hundred bricks from a house! Ten people would steal one or two thousand...
Chu Jie turned around and looked at the two of them, "Then I will help you build the house when the time comes."
Chu Tian was about to say no when he heard Chu Min reply, "Okay, then you can help me build the house first. They can't live in the cave in the educated youth camp all the time. I will build my house slowly and make sure they can move in before winter."
