Daya thought for a moment and pulled Chu Tian aside, "Uncle Si, wait a minute. I dug up a lot of dandelions from the first crop of this year. Can you take some back to add to your vegetable garden?"
After saying that, without waiting for Chu Tian to reply, he turned around and ran back to the yard. Soon, he filled a basket with half a basket of dandelions and handed it to Chu Tian.
Chu Tian looked at the basket of fresh dandelions and took it with a smile, "Okay, it just so happens that your grandmother was nagging about wanting to eat fresh vegetables at noon today."
On this side, Uncle Chu's wife and Uncle Chu's second wife, along with their respective daughters-in-law, also returned home from the fields.
Uncle Chu's dinner tonight was prepared by Chu Jie's wife, Wang Meihua. She ran into the yard carrying half a black chicken and asked Chu Ren's wife in disbelief, "Mom, where did this black chicken come from? Why is it so black?"
Chu Ren's wife had already heard Uncle Chu's story about the chicken's origins. When Chu Jie's wife came to ask her about it, she simply said, "Why do you care where it comes from? So what if it's black? Isn't it edible?"
“...Yes, I understand...”
After saying that, Wang Meihua turned around and went back to the kitchen. She chopped the chicken in the kitchen, and her eyes were red with grievance. At this time, Chu Jie came to the kitchen with a pile of firewood from the backyard. He looked up and saw that his wife's eyes were red again.
He frowned, "What's wrong with you?"
When Wang Meihua saw Chu Jie coming, tears immediately fell down, "Aizhu's father, mother, mother..."
Chu Jie asked impatiently, "What's wrong with mother?"
Wang Meihua wiped her tears with the back of her hand and choked up, "I just asked Mom where the chicken came from, and she got impatient with me..."
"Does Aizhu's father and mother hate me? I know I'm not as good as my eldest and second sisters-in-law, but..."
Chu Jie took a deep breath, turned around and closed the kitchen door, then dragged his wife to the back of the kitchen and whispered, "Why is Mom so impatient with you? What did Mom say wrong? She just told you not to ask so many questions, what's wrong with that? Stop saying you have a problem. I was just in the backyard, didn't I hear what Mom said? Can you stop complaining about this and that every day?"
Speaking of the latter, Chu Jie's tone was slightly unhappy, "Also, since you think you are not as good as the eldest and second sister-in-law, why don't you learn some of their advantages?"
Wang Meihua was extremely shocked when she heard Chu Jie's words. She looked at Chu Jie in disbelief, "Aizhu's father, you, why don't you stand by me?"
Chu Jie said impatiently, "How do you want me to side with you? Go out and scold my mother? Or find my eldest and second sisters-in-law and ask them to be less nice? Make them follow your example every day? Make this family a mess every day?"
"Can you find your own shortcomings instead of complaining about this and that every day?"
After saying that, he swung his sleeves, turned around and walked out of the kitchen, leaving her to start feeling sorry for herself again. He really didn't want to coax her anymore, he was too tired.
Chu Tian didn't know that because he sent half a chicken, Chu Jie and his wife had quarreled. He had just returned to the door of his house when he met Sun Weiguo and Li Meiling holding his son.
"Weiguo, brother-in-law and sister-in-law, you are here, come in quickly."
As he said that, he pushed open the gate and walked in to greet them.
Old Mrs. Chu was watching Pingping learning to walk with the help of the wall. When she heard the noise, she looked up and saw them walking in.
"Weiguo, Meiling, you are here..."
Sun Weiguo and Li Meiling hurried forward and greeted with a smile, "Grandma Chu, how are you?"
Old Mrs. Chu smiled and waved, "Okay, okay, please sit down..."
As he was about to move the benches for them, Li Meiling saw this and hurriedly said.
"Grandma Chu, please don't bother me. I'll go help Sister Xiujuan cook..."
As she said that, she handed the son in her arms to Sun Weiguo and turned to go to the kitchen.
Sun Weiguo hurriedly took his son and said, "Grandma Chu, don't worry about me. Brother Tian and I will stand and chat for a while."
Upon hearing this, Old Lady Chu looked at Chu Tian.
Chu Tian smiled and said, "Grandma, I have something to ask Wei Guo."
Mrs. Chu stood up and walked to Sun Weiguo, "Okay, then give Dabao to me? Pingping really likes to see Dabao..."
As he spoke, he took Sun Dabao out of Sun Weiguo's arms, turned around and stood not far from Pingping, and called out, "Pingping, Dabao brother is here, can you come over and see for yourself?"
Chu Tian looked at his son and a smile instantly appeared on his face when he saw Li Dabao. He walked carefully to Li Dabao, holding the wall, touched Li Dabao's face with his little hand, called out "Ah, Ah" to Old Lady Sun, and then said to Sun Weiguo.
"Weiguo, let's go and talk."
Chu Tian took Sun Weiguo to the room where he usually kept his goods, pointed to the kang and said, "Weiguo, sit down first. I'll find something."
As he spoke, he walked to a large vat in the corner of the house and took out a bag of red dates and a bag of walnuts. "I bought these red dates and walnuts from Hotan. You can take them after dinner tonight."
After a pause, he continued, "I've collected a large batch of red dates and walnuts this time. Would you like to go to the regiment to deliver them tomorrow morning?"
The farm received a large batch of red dates and walnuts. He originally thought that they were for the supply and marketing cooperative. He was also wondering if the supply and marketing cooperative had such a large batch of red dates and walnuts, then he would not be able to sell what he bought.
Finally, Captain Meng learned from a casual chat that it was not the case. The red dates and walnuts were meant to be sent to the troops. According to Captain Meng, their corps would send several batches of supplies to the troops under the corps every year, and the contents were different every year.
