Chu Min shook the package in his hand and glanced at Chu Tian. "It's quite heavy. I wonder what's inside..."
Chu Tian turned his head to look at the package that the division headquarters had distributed to each car at the door, and curled the corners of his lips.
"Brother, if you want to know what's inside, just open it and take a look!"
"Okay, let me take a look."
Chu Min started to unpack the packages. "Two packs of biscuits, two cans of food, two pounds of milk lumps? And one pound of dried meat..."
"Hey, what is this? Canned pork..."
Chu Min excitedly picked up a can of pork in an iron box and handed it to Chu Tian.
Chu Tian took a glance and found that it was indeed, so he smiled, "Yes, this is canned pork. If you like it, you can eat it yourself."
He has no shortage of meat to eat, but he doesn't really want to eat canned meat. He always feels that the meat used in canned meat is not good.
Chu Min waved his hand. "Hey, I'm just curious. This is the first time I've seen canned pork. I always hear people talk about it, but I've never seen it before..."
After a pause, he took out a stack of large round oil-fried naan from the bottom of the package and blinked, "Brother, life in our division is really good. Not only do we get canned food, biscuits, and dried meat when we go out, but we also give the drivers oil-fried naan made of white flour as road rations!"
"Our regiment only gives out some tickets each time, and at most a few two-kneaded flatbreads per person, and that's it..."
Chu Tian saw the car in front of him start to turn left, and hurriedly followed suit, turning the steering wheel. Then he glanced at Chu Min and laughed, "There's definitely no comparison between the regimental headquarters and the division headquarters. Do you know why those officers in the regimental headquarters are so desperate to be transferred to the division headquarters?"
"It's because the conditions at the division headquarters are better than those at the regiment headquarters!"
"That's true. If it were me, I would also be willing to come to the division headquarters."
Chu Min nodded thoughtfully, but still asked with some confusion, "When you were in the meeting, I also asked others, and they said that the division headquarters also has a transport team. Why don't you send people from their division headquarters transport team to provide vehicles?"
Chu Tian raised his eyebrows. "I don't know. I think there might not be enough vehicles and people. After all, after a while, when the crops in the fields are almost harvested, it will be the busiest time for the transport team."
"If we send out all the vehicles at this time, there will be no vehicles left. However, if we transfer one vehicle and two drivers from each regiment's transport team, the regiment will not be affected too much."
Chu Min smiled and nodded, "That's true..."
They set off, and another day of work began in the team.
Aunt Wu sat on the cut corn stalks, picking at the corn cobs while looking at Old Lady Chu next door who was also picking corn cobs, and joked with a smile.
"Aunt, Xiujuan's brother is really nice. He's willing to come and help with the work when Chu Tian is not at home."
Mrs. Chu smiled and nodded, "Yes, Youjun and his wife are both good."
After a pause, Mrs. Chu smiled and asked, "By the way, how is Guoan doing recently? After he went to work at the caustic soda factory, it seems that we haven't seen him much..."
When Aunt Wu heard Old Lady Chu mention her grandson, her movements slowed down. "He's fine. He came back a few nights ago and said he's finally got a job. He won't have to work in the workshop anymore. He'll just have to stay busy in the office."
Sun Guoan graduated from high school in the autumn of 1973. Because he did not have a place to attend the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University, he returned to the brigade to work every day after graduation. At that time, she saw Sun Guoan following her to work every day and felt that it was not okay to waste time like this. She also wanted to find her son's former comrades to see if they could help him find a job, but Sun Guoan was unwilling to do so. He did not want to ask his parents' former comrades for everything and consume the friendship of his previous comrades again and again. He wanted to rely on himself...
Seeing her grandson was so insistent, she did not go to look for her son's comrades. She was just getting increasingly anxious. She even wanted to ask Chu Tian if he could find her a job or something, and spend money...
But before she could ask Chu Tian, his grandson encountered the city's caustic soda factory that was looking to expand and recruit people. Moreover, they only recruited high school graduates from that batch. His grades happened to be among the top three in the class, so he passed the exam smoothly without spending a penny.
Mrs. Chu was surprised. "Oh, really? Congratulations..."
Aunt Wu pursed her lips and smiled, then waved her hands embarrassedly, "No, compared to your grandchildren, they are far inferior..."
Old Mrs. Chu said, "Hi!" "How can that be the same? Your Guoan got into the caustic soda plant on his own merit, unlike my grandchildren. Except for Xiaotian, Chu Min and Chu Jie hired someone to get in."
Aunt Wu knew that Old Madam Chu favored Chu Tian, so when she heard him say that, she smiled without surprise, "Let's not talk about Chu Min and Chu Jie, Chu Tian is really amazing. Look at Chu Tian. He is not only a member of the transport team, but also the captain. And now he can even run to the mouth. Even my Guoan can't compare to him."
"No, no, although Xiaotian is great, your Guoan is also great. He started working as a regular employee at the caustic soda factory when he was less than 17 years old. He's only 18 this year and he doesn't have to work in the workshop anymore. He..."
Yao Youjun, who was cutting corn stalks not far away, and Yao Xiujuan and Liu Jiali, who were breaking corn cobs, heard the conversation between Old Lady Chu and Aunt Wu. They looked at each other, and finally Liu Jiali smiled and spoke in a low voice to Yao Xiujuan.
"Sister, Grandma Chu is really partial to my brother-in-law."
Yao Xiujuan pursed her lips and smiled, "Your Grandma Chu has always been partial."
After a pause, he continued, "However, no matter how partial she is, it's only in a formal sense. In terms of material things, she is still very fair in treating the younger generation."
Liu Jiali nodded, "Well, that's really good."
As if she suddenly thought of something, Liu Jiali glanced at Yao Youjun who was working hard in front of her, and leaned close to Yao Xiujuan and asked in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
"Big sister, when was the last time you saw second sister?"
Yao Xiujuan was stunned for a moment. "Xiuhe? We met at my parents' house during the Chinese New Year. What happened to her?"
Liu Jiali frowned, looking troubled. "You, you didn't see me later? Didn't you see me during the Dragon Boat Festival?"
Yao Xiujuan paused in confusion and looked at Liu Jiali. After a long pause, she asked, "Did you forget? Pingping and Xinxin were both sick during the Dragon Boat Festival. We didn't go back during those two days, but a few days later. That's why we didn't run into Xiuhe."
"What happened to Xiuhe?"
Liu Jiali thought for a moment and then said, "I, I noticed that my second brother-in-law seemed to have beaten my second sister..."
Under Yao Xiujuan's shocked gaze, Liu Jiali expressed her guess.
"I think it must have happened more than once..."
