Everyone had been in the brigade for a whole day, a night and half a day, and they had basically not rested at night, so they were all very tired at this time. There was no chatting on the way. The carriage did not enter the brigade, but went directly to the yard of Chu Min and Chu Tian's house. Chu Tian unloaded several baskets of glass bottles from the carriage into the yard, and Sun Weiguo drove the carriage directly back to the brigade's stable.
"Second brother? Why are you here again?"
When Chu Tian was about to close the door, Chu Min, who had already carried the sack home, came to Chu Tian's door again.
Chu Min said straight to the point, "I know you got the glass bottle, right?"
"What's wrong?"
Chu Tian did not deny it. After all, on the way back, anyone who was not deaf could hear the sound of the glass bottles colliding with each other in the frames.
Chu Min said bluntly, "When we split up, all the glass bottles in the old house were left in the old house. Neither of us has any left. Now it's time to make tomato sauce. I went to the supply and marketing cooperative today but couldn't buy any. If you have any extra, could you give some to your brother?"
"I pay, not for free!"
"Okay, I can give you fifteen. Is that enough?"
Chu Tian spoke without hesitation, because he felt that making sixty bottles of tomato sauce at home would be enough.
In fact, the main reason was that if Li Gang had not told him that he could get some more wide-mouth canning bottles when he went to get the bottles today, he would actually be reluctant to give them, because Old Mrs. Chu said that she could make more pickles before winter this year.
"Enough, enough, how much is it? Brother will give it to you!"
Chu Min was surprised. He thought Chu Tian would give him four or five at most, but he didn't expect him to give him fifteen at once.
Chu Tian quoted a price that was one cent cheaper than the new bottles from the supply and marketing cooperative. Seeing Chu Min's surprised expression, he explained, "What I bought are not brand new. They are glucose bottles used in hospitals, so they are cheaper."
Chu Min nodded in understanding and said gratefully, "That's not bad. You can't even buy a used one on the black market now, let alone a bottle that only once held glucose."
Seeing that Chu Min didn't mind, Chu Tian continued with a smile, "The original stoppers on the glucose bottles all had needle holes, so I bought matching stoppers at the supply and marketing cooperative. I'll count them out for you later."
Chu Min nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll give you the money for the corks as well."
"good."
I am very satisfied with Chu Min's habit of settling accounts clearly with his brothers!
Chu Tian went to bed after dinner. When he woke up, Yao Xiujuan and Old Mrs. Chu were washing the glucose bottle he brought back over and over again in the yard.
"Dear grandson, did you sleep well?"
Chu Tian rubbed his swollen temple and nodded slowly, "Well, that's about right..."
Yao Xiujuan said distressedly, "Brother Tian, didn't you sleep last night?"
"I slept for about an hour..."
As he spoke, Chu Tian moved a stool and sat opposite them. Just as he was about to say something else, he heard Yao Xiujuan shouting at Xinxin who was squatting behind her.
"Xinxin, you've been playing in the water for quite a while. Stop playing. The water is too cold. What if you catch a cold..."
Chu Tian turned his head and saw Xinxin squatting beside the basin of clear water, playing happily with her hands in the basin. He frowned, stood up and hugged her in his arms, sat back in the chair, touched her hand, and instantly felt the coldness, and his face showed a serious warning.
"Xinxin, your mother told you not to play in the water. Didn't you hear? Can't you feel that your hands are very cold?"
It was the first time that Xinxin saw her father frowning at her. She was instantly frightened, her mouth pursed and tears fell from her eyes.
Chu Tian frowned when he saw this, thinking that he could no longer spoil her like before, and quickly scolded her, "Don't cry, if you cry again, Daddy won't like you anymore..."
Upon hearing this, Xinxin immediately lowered her head and wiped her tears with the back of her hand, choking and saying, "No, Xinxin, don't cry. Daddy must like Xinxin..."
Yao Xiujuan was also surprised to see Chu Tian frowning at his daughter for the first time. She looked at Old Madam Chu, and seeing that she acted as if she didn't see anything, she lowered her head and continued to wash the glass bottle, pretending not to see anything.
Chu Tian watched Xinxin stop crying before asking, "Xinxin, do you know what you did wrong?"
Xinxin's eyes were slightly red, her mouth was pouting, and her hands were clenched together nervously, "Xinxin is not good, she doesn't listen to her mother and keeps playing in the water..."
Chu Tian nodded in satisfaction, thinking that it was good to know where the mistake was, so he patiently asked, "Then what should Xinxin do in the future?"
Xinxin thought for a moment before answering cautiously, "Xin, Xinxin will listen to mother obediently in the future. If mother doesn't allow me to do something, Xinxin won't do it..."
After saying that, tears started to fall again. Seeing the tears falling, the little guy was afraid of being scolded by Chu Tian, so he hurriedly raised his hand to wipe his tears.
Chu Tian reached out and gently wiped away her tears. Looking at her aggrieved expression, he sighed in his heart and said in a soft voice, "Okay, don't cry..."
Xinxin saw that her father had lowered his voice when speaking to her, and she immediately threw herself on his chest and cried, "Daddy, Xinxin is good, Xinxin is obedient, Daddy can't help but love Xinxin..."
Chu Tian patted her back gently and taught her, "Xinxin, Daddy doesn't know if you can understand, but Daddy wants to tell you that it's okay to make mistakes. As long as you know you're wrong and correct it in time, and don't make the same mistake again in the future, then you will still be your good daughter, and Daddy will still love Xinxin the most..."
"I'm afraid that even if you know you're wrong, you won't repent. Not only will your parents dislike you, but your great-grandmother, grandma, grandpa, younger brother, uncles, aunts, uncles, and other uncles will all dislike you too."
"Do you understand?"
Xinxin was still a child under four years old. She could not understand anything else. She only understood that if she was not well behaved, her parents, grandma, grandpa, younger brother, and even her aunts, uncles, and cousins would not like her.
She was so scared that she kept nodding in Chu Tian's arms, and could only repeat, "Dad, Xinxin is good, Xinxin is obedient..."
Raising a child is not just about feeding her and keeping her warm. You need to teach her many principles, the three correct views and how to behave in society. So Chu Tian didn't expect her to understand everything in one go. He didn't say anything else at the moment. He just held her horizontally in his arms and patted her gently.
While Chu Tian was coaxing Xinxin, Yao Xiujuan and Old Mrs. Chu had already cleaned all the glass bottles and placed them upside down in a frame to control the water.
After Yao Xiujuan finished packing her things and wiped the water off her hands, she walked over to Chu Tian and asked in a low voice, "Is Xinxin asleep?"
Chu Tian looked at Xinxin, who had fallen asleep in his arms and was still trembling with grievance, nodded slightly, and said softly, "She's asleep."
