Perhaps because Yao Youjun's expression was too sad, Si Ya came over with a few cousins and comforted him in a low voice.
"Uncle Xinxin, we saw you..."
Several children from the old Chu family nodded repeatedly, indicating that Si Ya was right.
Yao Youjun felt comforted. Thinking of the bag of orange candies in his pocket, he smiled and said, "Okay, thank you. Uncle will treat you to some candy."
As he spoke, he grabbed a handful of orange candies from his pocket and gave two to each of the children present.
"Thank you, Uncle Xinxin..."
"Thank you, Uncle Xinxin..."
"Thanks····"
The children were very happy to see him and thanked Yao Youjun one after another. Their life had improved a lot since they came to Xinjiang, but they had never bought them much candy. There was no other way. In that era, you needed a ticket to buy any candy...
Even if they didn't need tickets, they wouldn't be willing to spend more than one yuan to buy only one kilogram of orange candy. With that money, they might as well add a little more and buy two kilograms of white sugar...
Therefore, most of the candies they usually eat are given by Chu Tian, Chu Min, Chu Jie and Chu Lifang's husband Sun Jianjun. There is no other way, because they are the only four working in the Chu family, with salaries and various receipts issued every month.
"Grandma Chu."
Old Mrs. Chu had just returned to the front yard after feeding the rabbits in the backyard when she saw Xinxin walking in front of her holding Yao Youjun's son, followed by Liu Jiali holding Lele in one hand and Pingping in the other. She was stunned for a moment, then after she came to her senses, she hurried forward to greet them.
"Hey, Jiali, did you come here with your child alone? Where are the friendly soldiers?"
As he said this, he began to look outside the door.
Liu Jiali smiled and said, "Grandma Chu, the friendly forces are talking to Si Ya and the others at the door..."
Old Madam Chu reached out and took Yao Yonghui from Xinxin's arms. She frowned and said, "What's there to talk about with a few little kids?"
After a pause, he continued, "Did Si Ya and the others ask the friendly forces for candy?"
As he was about to walk towards the door, he saw Yao Youjun pushing a cart in. Seeing Old Mrs. Chu, he quickly greeted her with a smile.
"Grandma Chu..."
Old Mrs. Chu hummed, and when she looked out, she saw several children at the door. Her cheeks were puffed up, and she became unhappy instantly. She turned the children over to Yao Youjun who had just parked his bicycle, and walked straight to the gate.
"What are you doing? You want to eat everyone you meet? Is this what your parents taught you? Isn't it shameful?"
The children were all shocked and looked at Old Mrs. Chu blankly. They didn't understand why Grandma didn't get angry when her uncles and aunts gave her candy.
Yao Youjun and Liu Jiali looked at each other and reacted. Liu Jiali quickly put Lele in her arms on the ground and ran towards the gate. Seeing that Old Mrs. Chu was still blaming the children, she hurriedly said.
"Grandma Chu, you misunderstood. The four girls are very well behaved and never ask for food. This must be something our friendly forces gave them specifically for food."
Yao Youjun, who followed out, also quickly responded, "Yes, Grandma Chu, you really misunderstood. I took the initiative to give it to you..."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Chu looked at the children, whose eyes were already red, with suspicion, "Is what your Uncle Yao said true?"
"Grandma, we didn't ask for it..."
Seeing the children say this, Old Madam Chu frowned, thought for a moment, and then softened her tone to apologize, "Okay, Grandma believes you. I wronged you today, and I apologize to you."
After a pause, she changed the subject and said in a slightly serious tone, "But, Grandma is also doing this for your own good."
"We don't have to eat, but we absolutely cannot ask for it from anyone, no matter who it is!"
"Others will think our Chu family's children are hopeless. Our Chu family's children can be called disobedient, naughty, and mischievous, but they must never be called hopeless behind their backs. Do you remember this?"
"Grandma, we remember..."
Several children nodded repeatedly. They had to make promises quickly. Their parents and grandparents all listened to their great-grandmother. If they didn't obey, they would not only be beaten and scolded by their parents when they got home, but also by their grandparents...
Mrs. Chu smiled kindly with satisfaction and waved her hand, "Okay, you all go play."
If they are all obedient, she will still be their kind grandmother. Otherwise, huh, don't blame her for dealing with their father and their father's father!
Upon hearing this, the children pulled each other and ran away, fearing that if they ran too slowly, they would be scolded by Old Lady Chu again.
Liu Jiali and Yao Youjun looked at each other for a while. Then Liu Jiali leaned closer to Yao Youjun and said in a voice only they could hear, "Youjun, I've found that everyone in my brother-in-law's family, young or old, has good character..."
Yao Youjun nodded in agreement. "I think, with an elder like Grandma Chu, it wouldn't be that easy to grow up crooked, right?"
Liu Jiali rolled her eyes when she heard that. "Bullshit, when it's time to go astray, no matter how good the example set by the elders is, people with crooked hearts will still go astray. Besides, you've seen it before. Your master is such an upright and sensible person, but look at his youngest son..."
“·····”
Yao Youjun thought to himself, well, it doesn’t mean that if the elders are good, the children will definitely learn well...
At noon, before Chu Tian and Yao Xiujuan entered the yard, they heard Lele's voice shouting Yao Yonghui from inside the yard, and the two looked at each other.
"Friendly forces resting?"
