After Chu Jun came out of Liu Zhaodi's room, he walked into the kitchen and saw Daya making pancakes. He said with a smile on his face, "Daya, are you done?"
Daya raised her head and looked at Chu Jun, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, "Almost done, two more pieces to go."
After a pause, he continued, "Dad, when Grandma was busy yesterday, I helped take care of Pingping for a while. When Fourth Aunt found out, she gave us two salted eggs. I cooked them today and we can cut them up and eat them with bread in the evening."
Chu Jun nodded, "Have you said thank you to your fourth aunt?"
Daya nodded and said, "I said it."
Chu Jun thought for a moment and said, "Daya, your fourth uncle works outside and is not often at home. When you have nothing to do in the future, go to your fourth aunt's house and help your great-grandmother and fourth aunt."
The eldest girl said without even looking up, "Dad, my fourth uncle and fourth aunt are very kind to me. They often give me red dates and make me brown sugar water. Even if you didn't tell me, I would still go and help."
Chu Jun was surprised when he heard this, "When did this happen?"
Daya paused for a moment, then explained softly, "It happened before. Fourth Uncle and Fourth Aunt said that since I'm a girl, I should eat more red dates and brown sugar... We don't have any at home, so they often give them to me when I go to see them..."
Chu Jun was silent for a moment. What did he mean by "nothing at home"? They might not have brown sugar, but they had always had red dates. It was just that Ma Cuihua had previously refused to give them to Daya, only to Erya, the daughter of her lover.
Chu Jun sighed, with a stiff smile on his face, and said, "Since your fourth uncle and your fourth aunt think that red dates and brown sugar are good for girls, when your fourth uncle comes back, I will ask him to buy some for you and you can eat them every day."
Daya waved her hands hurriedly upon hearing this, "Dad, no thanks, that thing is so expensive, I don't need it!"
Chu Jun's face fell, "No, you will have everything other girls have in the future. You are my only daughter, so you deserve everything I give you!"
Daya thought about it and fell silent. After a moment, she hesitated and said, "Dad, you, you won't marry again?"
Chu Jun was surprised. "Who told you that? Did your grandma tell you that?"
Daya shook her head. "No one told me. I just thought of it myself."
Chu Jun was shocked and looked at Daya in disbelief. "Daya, why do you think so?"
Daya thought for a moment, took out the pancakes from the pan, raised her head and looked at Chu Jun seriously and said, "Dad, you are only in your thirties this year, still young, you should find another one and give me some brothers and sisters, instead of..."
Listening to Daya's endless advice for him to remarry, Chu Jun didn't know what to say. After a moment of silence, he interrupted, "Daya, this is Dad's business. Don't worry about it. What you need to worry about now is to study hard and go to junior high school, high school, and even better, go to the Military Agricultural and Industrial University."
"Anyway, remember, as long as you can get there, Dad will support you!"
After saying that, without waiting for Daya to say anything else, he turned around and walked out of the kitchen.
“·····”
Daya looked at the fleeing Chu army and fell silent.
On this side, when going to work the next day, Old Mrs. Chu sat down and played on a mat laid out at the edge of the field. She asked the older girls in the family to look after him and Xinxin, and then went to work in the fields.
While she was working, she was muttering in her heart that Chu Jun had been divorced for more than half a year. He was only 34 years old and still in the prime of his life. It would not be good for him to live alone with his daughter.
She wanted to find another wife for her grandson, but this was Xinjiang, and she didn't know many people, so she really didn't know where to look!
At this time, Aunt Wu approached Old Mrs. Chu and said to her, "Aunt, isn't Chu Tian back yet?"
Mrs. Chu came back to her senses and nodded quickly, "Yes, he has been gone for more than half a month, and I don't know when he will be back."
Aunt Wu thought for a moment and said soothingly, "Southern Xinjiang is not close to our Northern Xinjiang. It is normal to take twenty days to go back and forth..."
After a pause, he looked around and leaned close to Old Mrs. Chu and asked in a low voice, "Aunt, is your Chu Jun going to live like this?"
Mrs. Chu was stunned for a moment, then asked, "What's wrong?"
Aunt Wu smiled and said, "It's okay. I just think Chu Jun is a good kid. It would be a shame if he stayed alone..."
Old Mrs. Chu sighed when she heard this, "I know it's a pity, but...ah..."
Aunt Wu rolled her eyes, thought for a moment, and said, "Aunt, you don't have anyone suitable, right?"
"I have a suitable person here, would you like to listen to me..."
Mrs. Chu nodded, "Aunt, just tell me directly."
Aunt Wu leaned close to Old Lady Chu's ear and whispered something about someone, "Aunt, what do you think of her?"
Old Mrs. Chu was surprised. "She, can she? She's quite a bit older than me..."
Aunt Wu smiled and said, "It's not that different. She's only ten years old. The main thing is that she's really good. When she found out that her husband had an affair with a female educated youth and had a child, she immediately divorced him and took her daughter with her. Not only is she capable, but she also has a good personality. She's bold and straightforward, but also smart. She's very suitable for the soft-hearted Chu Jun. In the future, she won't be easily... "
The words were not finished, but Mrs. Chu understood, thought for a moment and said, "I want to ask Chu Jun first."
Aunt Wu nodded. "Of course I should. I'm familiar with her and know she's a really nice person. Otherwise, I wouldn't have introduced her so casually!"
Mrs. Chu smiled and said, "I know, I know. Chu Tian has said hello to you many times. When we were not here, he and his family received a lot of care from you..."
Aunt Wu smiled and waved her hands, "Hey, it's nothing, we're just helping each other."
Old Mrs. Chu finished work first, and when she finished work, she found Chu Jun and told him to go to Chu Tian's house to find her after work. Then she took a group of children back home.
After work, Chu Jun walked towards Chu Tian's house with Chu Min and others.
"Brother, what did grandma ask you to do?"
Chu Min looked at Chu Jun strangely, not understanding why his grandmother wanted to find Chu Jun. If there was anything she wanted to do, she should have found him or Chu Jie.
Chu Jun scratched his head. "I don't know either. Grandma suddenly came to me when she got off work and told me to come over."
Chu Jie smiled and said, "What's there to guess? Grandma will tell you when you go there, right?"
After a pause, he continued, "Brother Jun, I'm going too..."
Chu Jie's eldest brother Chu Xing frowned and looked at Chu Jie disapprovingly, "Chu Jie, grandma asked Chu Jun to go, what are you going to do?"
Chu Jie said with a grin, "So what? Grandma didn't say that only Jun-ge can go!"
Chu Xing: "But..."
Before he finished speaking, Chu Min took over, "Brother Xing, it's okay, let's go and listen to the excitement together. Anyway, there's nothing to do if we go back now."
Chu Xing and Chu Jun, "..."
