After dinner in the evening, Chu Tian stopped Yao Xiuli who was about to clean up the dishes. Seeing that everyone was looking at him in confusion, Chu Tian spoke.
"Someone from the regiment headquarters might come to our brigade to investigate me soon..."
Before she could finish her words, Yao Xiujuan exclaimed, "Brother Tian, what's wrong with you?"
Chu Tian was stunned for a moment, then quickly took her hand and comforted her, "It's okay, it's okay, don't think too much, you are still pregnant, you can't be startled."
He glanced at the faces of Mrs. Chu and the others and explained with a smile, "It's actually nothing serious. Didn't I tell you yesterday that the second captain of our transport team was wiped out?"
"Captain Meng told me today that he recommended me to our director to be the captain of the second team. Because the previous captain of the second team committed something, the regiment headquarters is investigating it more strictly this time, and they will send someone to investigate..."
Mrs. Chu understood, and she asked seriously, "Is there anything you need us to do?"
Chu Tian was happy. "What can I ask you to do? Just answer honestly whatever they ask. I have a good family background. My father also sacrificed his life saving others. I will definitely be fine with the political review!"
After a pause, he continued, "I'm afraid some people will be jealous and grumble behind my back..."
Yao Xiujuan's heart, which had been at ease, was lifted again after hearing this. "Brother Tian, are you saying..."
Chu Tian nodded, "Yes, especially I have to be careful of Ma Cuihua and my mother. I'm afraid they will talk nonsense behind my back..."
"After all, they're not just here to question you when they come down to investigate. They're also going to ask people in the brigade."
Old Madam Chu nodded silently. After a while, she looked up at Chu Tian and said with a smile, "Don't worry, my dear grandson. I'm here. If anyone dares to fart behind your back, I'll tear her mouth apart!"
Chu Tian chuckled, "Grandma, it's okay, it's not a big deal. For me, it doesn't matter whether I'm the captain or not, anyway..."
Before she could finish her words, Old Madam Chu said disapprovingly, "How can that be possible? This is a great opportunity to change the family's fortune. Being a leader is better than being an ordinary driver, right?"
"Don't worry, I'll go and tell your eldest and second uncles first, and then I'll go to your mother's place and tell your eldest brother to keep an eye on her!"
She stood up and ran away in a hurry. Her steps were so fast that people who didn't know her couldn't tell that she was an old lady in her seventies...
Yao Xiuli came back to her senses, stood up and said, "Brother-in-law, shall I go clean up the dishes?"
Chu Tian exclaimed, "Ah!" and said, "Clean it up."
Xinxin also got down from the chair, "Auntie, Xinxin, help me."
Yao Xiuli smiled gently at Xinxin, "Okay, then can you help your aunt clean up the chopsticks?"
"good··"
Seeing this, Pingping also got down from his chair and followed Xinxin silently to help her get the chopsticks.
Yao Xiujuan watched the three of them walk into the kitchen before she came to her senses and turned to look at Chu Tian, "Brother Tian, are you really okay?"
Chu Tian stood up and helped Yao Xiujuan back to the inner room to sit on the kang. He sat beside her, facing her, holding her hands, and asked gently, "What else? When have I ever lied to you..."
Yao Xiujuan nodded slightly, then lowered her voice after a moment and said, "Brother Tian, are you still reselling? Do you want to quit? Anyway, you have a monthly salary now, which is enough to support the family..."
"It's okay, don't worry, I will do less in the future."
Chu Tian knew that Yao Xiujuan had always been timid, and it was normal for her to worry about him, but he was different from those speculators. As long as he didn't take his things out, no one would be able to find them.
Besides, he won't resell state supplies...
Yao Xiujuan opened her mouth and wanted to ask why she couldn't just not do it at all, but seeing Chu Tian's expression of trust in her, she couldn't say anything against it. After all, Chu Tian did this so that they could live a better life.
People nowadays are very efficient. Chu Tian's information was reported on the first day, and the regiment sent two young officers down the next day. Captain Sun learned from Chu Tian in advance that someone would come to investigate him, so he received them without any panic.
The female officer asked with a pen and paper, "Captain Sun, what is Chu Tian like normally?"
Captain Sun personally handed each of the two officers a glass of sugar water and quickly replied, "Chu Tian? He's a nice guy. He's always helpful in our team. Before he went to work, he was always there to lend a hand whenever someone needed help. In the past two years, as he's the driver for the transport team, he's also often brought things from the supply and marketing cooperative to the team for us."
The female officer paused, "Bring something? Bring what?"
Captain Sun laughed heartily. "We are all farmers. What can we bring? Just some matches, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, etc."
The male officer asked again, "Don't you want to bring anything else?"
Captain Sun, looking like an ignorant old peasant, asked, "We don't have any tickets, so how can we bring anything else?"
The male officer continued to ask, "He's a driver for the transport team. Didn't he ever tell you that he got you something that required a ticket but was hard to get?"
Captain Sun waved his hands repeatedly, "Comrade, you can't talk nonsense. We are all very law-abiding and never dare to ask for things that we can't buy."
After chatting about some other things, the two young officials looked at each other, nodded to each other, and stood up.
"Captain Sun, thank you for cooperating with our investigation. We will be leaving now."
Upon hearing this, Captain Sun hurriedly tried to persuade them to stay, "Comrades, are you leaving now? Why don't you have a meal first?"
The lesbian shook her head and refused, "Don't bother."
With that, the two of them walked out of Captain Sun's house.
Captain Sun stood at the gate and saw that the two people were not walking out of the team but walking into the team. He waved and called his eldest grandson who had just returned home from school.
"Dabao, run fast and go to your uncle Chu Tian's house and tell him that the investigation officer is here and will be leaving soon."
"Hey, I'll go right away."
Upon hearing this, Dabao, who had just returned from school, threw his schoolbag into his sister's arms and ran away.
At this time, Ma Panni walked to Captain Sun's side and asked in a low voice, "Baoguo's father, is it okay for you to say that?"
Captain Sun shook his head. "It's okay. I told you the truth. We all know who Chu Tian is. He really does often bring salt, soy sauce, vinegar, and other things to our team members..."
Dabao was very fast. When he arrived at Chu Tian's house, the two of them had not arrived yet, so he hurried to Old Mrs. Chu.
"Grandma Chu, my grandfather asked me to tell you that the investigation officer is here. He just left my house and will be here soon."
"Hey, hey, I get it."
As she spoke, Mrs. Chu stood up, grabbed a few pieces of orange candy from the cabinet, and stuffed them into Dabao's pocket. "Dabao, thank you, Grandma..."
Dabao shook his head sheepishly, "No, you're welcome."
