Yao Xiuli's eyes lit up, and she immediately responded, "Sister, you think so too? I think Sister Lifang is really amazing, and she's a great cook. When I cook, she just gives me a little guidance, and the food I make tastes better than usual!"
Yao Xiujuan's eyes lit up. "Oh, so Lifang has been teaching you how to cook these days? I was wondering why the taste is so different from before..."
Yao Xiuli's face turned pale, "Sister, I'm not that bad, am I?"
Yao Xiujuan chuckled and said, "It's not that you are too bad, it's that Lifang is too good..."
"Yeah, that's why I feel that brother is not worthy of Sister Lifang. With Sister Lifang's conditions, I think she can marry someone in the city!"
"Um··"
“·····”
Yao's mother didn't know what to say when she heard her two daughters say bad things about her son. Although her son was a simpleton and sometimes really stupid, but, but...
Well, she didn't have any idea at first. In fact, she felt that Chu Lifang was indeed excellent in every aspect and her son was not worthy of her...
However, despite saying this, Yao's mother still spoke up to save her son's face.
"Although Youjun has shortcomings, he also has many advantages! For example, he is relatively honest, unlike those cunning people who attract bees and butterflies everywhere. Also, he has a job now. Although he is an apprentice, he will become a regular employee in the future. For example..."
Yao Xiujuan listened to her mother listing Yao Youjun's advantages for several days before finally saying, "Mom, no matter how much we talk here and how much Grandma wants to marry Lifang to Youjun, it's useless. You should first ask Youjun what he means."
"He even promised Brother Tian that he wouldn't go on blind dates until his job was permanent..."
Yao's mother waved her hand indifferently. "He doesn't have the final say. Your father and I have the final say. Besides, if he wants to get married, why not now? It will take at least a year or two, wait until he's nineteen or twenty to get married! By then, it will take at least a year. How can he not get married officially? If he can't get married, he'll really be sorry for his eldest brother-in-law!"
“·····”
Yao Xiujuan was left speechless by what Yao's mother said and could only look at her in silence.
Chu Tian heard that Yao's mother already knew about Old Madam Chu and wanted Chu Lifang to marry Yao Youjun. He was shocked and said, "Grandma, you were the one who made this clear?"
Old Madam Chu slowly walked towards Chu Tian's unfinished house and said without looking back, "How is that possible? Even if I'm interested in Yao Youjun, only the man can bring it up. If the woman brings it up, then she'll be at a disadvantage and will be inferior to others when we get married in the future!"
"Although your grandmother has never been educated, she still understands some truths! Our girls are all valuable! We will never throw ourselves at them! We won't take the initiative!"
Chu Tian stopped and looked at the figure of Old Lady Chu walking away in shock. He finally understood why Chu Min, Chu Jie and Chu Lifang all respected Old Lady Chu so much. Surely no one would disrespect such a sensible and reasonable elder, right?
Of course, the people here are except Liu Zhaodi...
Chu Jie looked at Old Lady Chu and the other two people walking in front of him, listened to Xinxin's childish and innocent questions, and Old Lady Chu's patient answers, then walked to Chu Tian and asked in a low voice.
"Do you think our grandma is very nice?"
Chu Tian nodded hesitantly, "Yes, very good..."
Chu Jie chuckled, "You were only twelve when you left your hometown. You may have forgotten that my grandmother was very famous in several villages near our hometown. Those families with daughters wanted to marry their daughters to our family because my grandmother was very kind to both her grandsons and daughters-in-law..."
“Even the children like our grandma…”
Chu Tian smiled, "I see..."
At this time, the voice of Old Mrs. Chu called him, "My dear grandson, does it get dark so late in Xinjiang? It's already nine o'clock, right? It's not even dark yet... If it were in our hometown, we would have gone to bed long ago!"
Chu Tian quickly replied loudly, "Grandma, it's not too late now. Just wait a month or so until summer arrives. It won't be dark until after ten or even eleven o'clock!"
Old Mrs. Chu was shocked. "Tsk tsk, it's dark so late? In our hometown, it gets dark around 8 or 9 in the summer..."
"I've never seen it get dark so late!"
Xinxin said at this time, "Grandma, then don't leave..."
Mrs. Chu was stunned when she heard this, then she smiled and asked, "Xinxin can't bear to leave Grandma?"
Xinxin nodded obediently, "Xinxin likes grandma and aunt..."
Old Mrs. Chu's face was as bright as a flower with a smile, and even the quiet Chu Lifang had a smile on her face. Only Chu Jie started to yell in displeasure.
"Xinxin, you are biased. Isn't uncle good? Why doesn't Xinxin like uncle?"
Xinxin tilted her head to glance at the smiling Old Lady Chu, blinked, and answered honestly, "Uncle won't play with Wu Ya..."
“····”
Chu Jie felt that it was unfair. He wanted to accompany them, but he just didn't have time. He had rested in the afternoon of the first day, and for the rest of the days, he had to go out early and come back late every day to build the house, okay?
Old Mrs. Chu laughed heartily and touched Xinxin's little face. "Yes, your uncle is not a good person. We don't like him. Just like your great-grandmother and aunt!"
Xinxin nodded obediently, "Yeah."
Chu Jie, "..."
Chu Lifang covered her mouth and laughed. Seeing Chu Jie's deflated expression, Chu Tian couldn't help laughing too.
Early the next morning, before daybreak, Chu Tian took Yao's mother to the steel plant.
When they arrived at the steel plant, Chu Tian left Yao's mother behind and ran to the guardhouse alone. He stuffed a cigarette into the guard's pocket and asked him to go in and call Yao Youjun before running back to Yao's mother.
"Mom, I've sent someone to help pass on a message. The friendly troops should be coming out soon."
Yao's mother nodded and said, "Well, there's no rush. There's still time."
She said she was not in a hurry, but she kept looking into the steel plant.
"Chu Tian, this steel plant looks quite large!"
Chu Tian chuckled, "Isn't it quite a big place? I heard there are tens of thousands of workers."
The two of them didn't wait long before they saw Yao Youjun running out. Chu Tian saw him looking around and shouted.
"Friendly forces, this way."
Yao Youjun looked over to find the voice, his eyes lit up instantly, and he immediately ran over, "Mom, brother-in-law, why are you here?"
Yao's mother took Yao Youjun in her arms and looked him up and down, nodding with satisfaction. "You haven't lost weight, and you look even more energetic. Not bad, not bad..."
Yao Youjun grinned and said, "Mom, I'm fine. The three meals a day are better than what I eat at home!"
Yao's mother smiled happily, "Okay, okay, as long as the food is good..."
Yao Youjun scratched his head and asked, "By the way, Mom, when did you come?"
Yao's mother said, "It's been a few days. I heard from your eldest brother-in-law that you went back the day before I went there."
Yao Youjun was surprised, "Mom, why didn't you come to see me these days?"
Yao's mother waved her hand, "I came here mainly to see your eldest sister and your nephew. You are just a by-product!"
