Chu Jie looked at Chu Tian who was already running back, and urged Chu Lifang who was still standing there, "Lifang, why don't you go back quickly too?"
He just turned around inadvertently and saw many unmarried men staring at his cousin, which made him very unhappy.
"Um···"
Chu Lifang was not as sharp-eyed as her starling. She just felt that the people working there were all strangers, and she felt a little uncomfortable. When she heard her starling telling her to go back quickly, she immediately turned around and walked back.
Chu Jie watched Chu Lifang walk away before returning to where he had been working.
At this time, Chu Min came over and asked, "What's wrong, little brother?"
Chu Jie kept moving his hands, and smiled when he heard this, "His mother-in-law is here, and grandma asked Lifang to ask him to go back!"
Chu Min was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and said with a smile, "Oh, it's Auntie. She should come at this time. After all, it's the busy farming season when my sister-in-law is giving birth. The nearby military corps have gradually finished their spring plowing in recent days. Doesn't that mean she has time to come?"
"When I'm done, I'll go see my aunt."
Chu Jun, who also came to help, heard this and said, "Second brother, I will go with you later."
Chu Jie smiled and nodded, "Okay..."
When Chu Tian returned to the educated youth camp, he saw Yao's mother and Old Lady Chu sitting at the door chatting. He hurried over with a smile and greeted them, "Mom, why didn't you ask someone to tell me beforehand that you were coming so I could pick you up? How did you get here all the way from the regiment?"
Seeing her eldest son-in-law coming back, Yao's mother stood up with a smile on her face, "No, no, I met a carriage from your company as soon as I left the regiment. I rubbed it all the way. I really didn't go far, otherwise I wouldn't have arrived at this time..."
"That's good···"
Chu Tian calculated the time. Indeed, if he walked, it would probably take at least an hour to get there.
Mother Yao patted Chu Tian's arm and said, "By the way, why are you back? I heard from Auntie that you were building a house. Go and do your work. Don't worry about me. Auntie and I are having a great time chatting!"
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Chu smiled and said, "Yes, dear grandson, grandma and your mother-in-law are having a great time chatting!"
Chu Tian smiled, "Grandson has always known that my grandmother is the kindest person, and my mother-in-law is also someone who cares about her children. It's not surprising that we can chat together..."
Upon hearing this, Old Mrs. Chu and Yao's mother both smiled and bursts of laughter were heard.
Yao Xiujuan and Yao Xiuli who were in the house heard the noise outside and were also very happy. Especially Yao Xiujuan. When she gave birth to her first child, her mother also came to see her at this time. However, because they lived in the old house at that time, the atmosphere was not as good as it is now...
"Xiu Li, what vegetables and meat do you have at home today?"
Yao Xiuli had just changed Pingping's diaper. After thinking for a moment, she looked up and said, "Early this morning, my eldest brother-in-law came back from sending my brother off. He brought a chicken, some carrots, and half a head of cabbage and a few potatoes left over from yesterday."
Yao Xiujuan thought for a moment and said, "Cut the chicken in half, stew half for soup, and cook the other half with potatoes, and make the cabbage into vinegar..."
Yao Xiuli nodded, "Where's the staple food?"
Yao Xiujuan answered without hesitation, "Grandma likes to drink porridge and eat steamed buns, so she cooks a pot of porridge with white flour and carrots, and then steams some steamed buns with two-mixed flour."
Yao Xiuli nodded, "Okay, I'll wash Pingping's diaper and prepare dinner."
Mother Yao held Xinxin in her arms, looking at the empty courtyard of the educated youth center. She frowned and asked, "Chu Tian, why don't the educated youth at your educated youth center grow vegetables? If those children don't grow vegetables, don't they plan to eat vegetables all summer?"
Chu Tian thought for a moment and said, "I guess they just finished the spring plowing and haven't had time to plant yet?"
Yao's mother nodded, thought for a moment, and then asked, "What about you? Have you planted any vegetables in your garden?"
Chu Tian was stunned for a moment, shook his head, and answered honestly, "How can I grow vegetables when the house isn't built yet?"
Yao's mother frowned. "You're only building a house in a corner. You can use the empty space to grow vegetables. By the way, how big is your plot of land?"
"One and a half acres..."
Here, before Yao's mother could react, Old Mrs. Chu exclaimed first.
"One and a half acres? My dear grandson, is your property that big?"
Chu Tian was stunned. "Ah, yes, it was even bigger a few years ago when there were no regulations. You could enclose as much land as you wanted. But now there are regulations. Each household can only enclose one and a half acres. No more than..."
Old Mrs. Chu sighed, "Oh, one and a half acres! That's really big! Our old homestead, including the vegetable garden, is not even half the size of yours..."
"No, it would be a waste to leave such a large plot of land empty. Grandma will go and plant some vegetables for you tomorrow!"
Upon hearing this, Yao's mother hurriedly said, "Aunt, it happens that we have a slack season recently. I plan to stay for two more days. I will start planting with you tomorrow."
Mrs. Chu nodded. "Well, thank you, Xiujuan's mother."
Chu Tian reacted and said quickly, "Oh, no need for grandma and mom to help me plant, I, I can just start planting slowly tomorrow!"
"Well, but first I have to go to the seed station in the regiment to buy some seeds..."
Yao's mother put Xinxin, who was restless, down and said with a slightly complaining tone, "Hey, kid, why didn't you tell me earlier that we don't have any seeds? If I had known earlier, I would have brought some from home today..."
Old Mrs. Chu hurriedly said, "Xiujuan's mother, it's okay. I'll go find my grandson's eldest brother later and ask him to bring me some seeds from home!"
Chu Tian waved his hands when he heard this, "Grandma, no, no, it's just a few seeds, it won't cost much..."
Old Madam Chu deliberately put on a stern face and taught Chu Tian, "My dear grandson, there's an old saying that goes, if you can't eat and wear well, you won't be poor forever, but if you plan hard, you won't be poor forever!"
"This obviously doesn't cost anything, so why spend all that money? And why travel so far to spend money? It's just a matter of a few words!"
Yao's mother agreed with what Mrs. Chu said and nodded, "Chu Tian, your grandma is right!"
Old Mrs. Chu continued to educate Chu Tian, "My dear grandson, even if you have some money now, you can't be so impatient..."
Yao's mother continued, "Yes, Chu Tian, your grandma eats more salt than you eat rice. You have to listen to your grandma..."
"My dear grandson..."
“····”
Chu Tian helplessly looked at the two people in front of him who were talking back and forth. One was his original grandmother, and the other was his original mother-in-law. Both of them were doing it for Chu Tian's own good. What could Chu Tian do? He could only listen to them...
"aunt···"
Xinxin looked up and saw Chu Lifang coming back. She ran over with her short legs and hugged Chu Lifang's legs.
Chu Lifang picked up Xinxin and asked softly, "Xinxin, what's wrong?"
Xinxin leaned close to Chu Lifang's ear and whispered, "Aunt, Daddy was scolded by Grandma and Great-grandmother..."
