Captain Sun frowned, "No one in our regiment raises rabbits..."
Chu Tian knew what Captain Sun was worried about, so he just chuckled and said, "If you want to raise rabbits, that's not a difficult thing. I can ask someone to bring me a few pairs, but..."
Captain Sun quickly asked, "Just what?"
Chu Tian smiled and said slowly, "If I just bring them in privately and get caught by the inspectors later, I'll be in trouble. So, if our brigade really wants to raise rabbits as a sideline, we have to ask the brigade leader to report to the company, issue the company's purchase slip, and then report to the regiment. That way, our transport team can help bring the rabbits back from outside legally."
Captain Sun was silent for a moment, his fingers tapping the table unconsciously. After a while, he raised his head and looked at Chu Tian, "This is not something you came up with on a whim, right?"
Chu Tian nodded. "Of course not. I've been thinking about it for a long time, but I just couldn't think of anything to do. Besides, our brigade makes hemp ropes and sacks as a sideline during the busy farming season every winter, so I didn't mention it."
Captain Sun laughed, "Then why are you bringing it up now?"
Chu Tian grinned, "I want our team members to become richer, so that those people won't keep an eye on my house every day..."
When Chu Tian said this, Captain Sun thought of some gossipy women in the team who liked to get together and gossip every day. Among them, they talked about Chu Tian's family the most, so he fell silent.
After a while, Captain Sun spoke again, "Okay, I'll go to the company this afternoon to ask the company commander and see what he thinks. If he agrees, I'll write a report to apply for a side job."
"Well, that needs to be done as soon as possible. If we can get the application approved now, we can still breed two litters of rabbits before winter..."
After he finished speaking, Chu Tian stood up and said goodbye. Anyway, he was only responsible for giving suggestions. As for whether it could be done or not, it all depended on Captain Sun.
However, based on his understanding of Captain Sun, he would definitely do it. After all, this was an opportunity to make a profit for the entire brigade.
Chu Tian walked around and found a deserted place. He took out two bottles of Yilite liquor that he had bought at the supply and marketing cooperative, a few kilograms of high-quality Hotan dates and two chickens from his space before walking home.
The next morning, Chu Tian and Yao Youjun went to the regiment headquarters early. He went to a meeting, and Yao Youjun went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy gifts for home delivery. There was nothing to do today, so Director Li said a few words and let them go.
The two met at the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative and immediately rushed home. When they got home, they picked up the white wine, dates and two chickens that they had taken out yesterday, and borrowed a carriage from the brigade. He rode a bicycle while Yao Youjun drove the carriage and set off with the Yao family.
As for Old Mrs. Chu and her two children, they were at home and were not brought along.
Yao Xiuli sat in the carriage, looking at her brother who was driving the carriage, and asked, "Brother, are we going directly to Sister Jia Jiali's house?"
Yao Youjun said without turning his head, "Well, I mean go directly to their house."
Yao's mother looked at the two bottles of white wine and two chickens in the basket, and looked at Yao Xiujuan who was sitting next to her with dissatisfaction, "Xiujuan, come on, you don't stop your husband. This bottle of white wine costs several yuan. How can we take the white wine, dates and chickens he bought to meet our future in-laws..."
Yao Xiujuan glanced at Chu Tian who was riding a bicycle in front of her and chuckled, "Mom, this is a little gift from your son-in-law. Just accept it with peace of mind..."
Yao's mother wanted to say something, but Yao's father interrupted her, "Okay, son-in-law, this is an honor for us. Otherwise, we would have brought some dry goods and some brown sugar. Biscuits and other things would not look good."
"Let the friendly forces return it to Xinxin and the others in the future..."
Yao Youjun heard it and quickly turned back to look at his mother, "Mom, don't worry, I won't forget the help my brother-in-law gave me."
Yao's mother nodded in satisfaction. "Well, just remember it. Anyway, we can't have such ungrateful people in our family..."
Liu's mother and her two daughters-in-law were busy in the kitchen at this time. They were thinking of going to the next door to borrow some garlic cloves when they saw their daughter leaning against the door frame and looking out. Her voice came slowly over.
"Jia Li, what are you looking at?"
Liu Jiali was startled by her mother's sudden voice. She turned around abruptly, covering her chest and said dissatisfiedly, "Mom, why did you scare me..."
Liu's mother pulled her daughter away from the door and said, "Did I scare you? It's obvious that you don't know what you're thinking!"
Liu Jiali, "...Mom, what are you doing?"
Mother Liu had already stepped out of the room. Upon hearing this, she said without turning back, "Go to your aunt next door and borrow some garlic cloves!"
"oh·····"
Liu Jiali blinked, turned around and looked at the clock hanging on the wall. Seeing that it was already twelve o'clock, she muttered in dissatisfaction.
"I don't know if Yao Youjun and the others have arrived..."
The two daughters-in-law of the Liu family who were cutting vegetables in the kitchen heard what their sister-in-law said, looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.
The two families met smoothly. Although the Liu family did not want the things brought by the Yao family, the fact that the Yao family knew to bring gifts when they came for the first time, and they were expensive gifts at that, instead of coming empty-handed, made the Liu family very satisfied!
After dinner, the Liu family sent the children out to play, and the adults sat together in the living room to talk about business.
"Brother Liu, look, what are your requests? As long as we can do it, we will definitely do our best to meet them..."
Seeing Mr. Yao's sincere attitude, Director Liu smiled with satisfaction and said, "Our family doesn't have any excessive requirements. We don't require three turns and one ring, but two turns are a must!"
Father Yao nodded repeatedly, "Of course, of course..."
Director Liu continued, "Let's forget about the wedding house. Youjun has only been working for a few years, so he can't get a house right now. However, if he marries Jiali, he can apply for a single room. He can live in the single room first, and then figure out a plan when houses are allocated later."
"As for the betrothal gift...it depends on your intentions..."
In short, Yao's father agreed to all the requests made by Director Liu. After all, the request was really not high. Finally, they arranged the date for the formal engagement, and Chu Tian and others said goodbye.
Old Madam Chu looked at the people who had returned and asked hurriedly, "How is it? Is the negotiation done?"
Mother Yao smiled and said, "Aunt, it's settled."
"The girl's family asked for a bicycle and a watch. They didn't specify much for the betrothal gift, just that it depends on our feelings..."
Mrs. Chu nodded. "This family is good. They are not greedy and they really care about their daughter."
Mother Yao pursed her lips and smiled, "Well, their family loves their daughter very much. That girl is really just as you said, a generous girl."
He glanced at Yao Youjun who was sitting opposite him and talking to Chu Tian, and added, "My Youjun and her are together, he is really marrying above his station!"
