"You, you, you, how can you talk like that!"
Everyone was stunned when they heard this and looked at Chu Tian in surprise. They didn't expect that Chu Tian, who was usually easy to talk to, could speak so harshly at this time. Their faces turned red.
Chu Tian faced them calmly and said disdainfully, "That's all I'm saying. What you've done is immoral. Even if you get into university, you'll still be scum among the college students!"
After saying that, Chu Tian rinsed his mouth and poured the water in the toothbrush holder in front of them.
"Bah, what kind of people are they? They abandon their families and children one by one. With such character, they are the pillars of the country, and they are not ashamed of it..."
He slammed the gate shut after he finished speaking. Although he couldn't change their decision to abandon their family, he didn't want to continue talking nonsense with them. He felt sickened by the thought of saying one more word!
He understood that she wanted to go back to the city. After all, no one didn't want to go home. But since she wanted to go back, she should be firm in her decision and not get married and have children like Liu Zhiqing and Zhou Zhiqing, or she could go back to the city with her family like Li Jianmin.
However, in the early stage, you are afraid of the hard work of finding a local person to marry, and in the later stage, you think that the other person is a burden and not worthy of you. Isn't this too inhumane?
The educated youth standing at the door were all stunned. When they reacted, their faces turned from red to white. They all knew how they had quarreled with their wives/husbands recently and why their children were crying. Especially Zhang Zhiqing, who had just tormented his child, his face turned even paler...
They were so angry that they wanted to knock on the door and argue with Chu Tian, but because of Chu Tian's status in Captain Sun's heart, they endured it and turned away with sullen faces. They all thought to themselves, when they get into college, they will see what Chu Tian, a lousy transport team driver, has to be proud of!
Yao Xiujuan came out of the kitchen and saw Chu Tian walking back from the front door. She asked in confusion, "Brother Tian? Why did you brush your teeth at the door?"
Chu Tian casually placed the toothbrush holder on the kitchen windowsill, picked up the towel hanging outside, wiped his mouth and said, "It's okay, there were a few dogs at the door, and I chased them away."
"Ah? A dog? Who in our brigade has a dog?"
Yao Xiujuan looked at Chu Tian in confusion and picked up the toothbrush holder he had placed on the windowsill.
Chu Tian grinned, "Wild dog."
"Okay, forget about those wild dogs. What did you cook for breakfast? I'm starving!"
"I made tomato and dumpling soup. Yesterday, grandma said her mouth had no taste and she wanted to eat something sour."
When Yao Xiujuan heard Chu Tian say he was hungry, she no longer worried about whether it was a stray dog or not. She quickly took the tooth bowl back and prepared to serve the rice.
Chu Tian put the towel on the rope, turned around and walked to Pingping's room and shouted, "Pingping, are you up? The meal is ready, come out and eat, and then go to school..."
At this time, Mrs. Chu and Lele came over from the backyard, "Xiaotian, stop shouting, Pingping got up a long time ago and is squatting in the toilet now."
Chu Tian said "Oh", then smiled and waved to Lele, "Lele, go wash your face and brush your teeth. Your mother made tomato and dumpling soup this morning..."
Lele's eyes lit up, "Did Mom put a lot of tomato sauce?"
Chu Tian hummed, then smiled and said, "Dad doesn't know either, why don't you go and see for yourself?"
"I'll go right away..."
Lele nodded and ran towards the kitchen.
After she left, Chu Tian stepped forward and held Mrs. Chu's arm. As they walked towards the main hall, he asked softly, "Grandma, Xiujuan said your mouth has no taste? Do you have no appetite?"
Mrs. Chu smiled and waved her hands, "Nothing, I just suddenly wanted to eat something sour."
Chu Tian nodded, and suddenly thought of something. After helping Old Lady Chu sit down, he ran out of the main hall and shouted to Yao Xiujuan, "Xiujuan, didn't I give you a big package when I came back from Yili this time? Where did you put it?"
Yao Xiujuan walked out of the kitchen carrying a bowl of rice, looked at Chu Tian, blinked and thought for a moment, "Is it the package you said was not durable?"
Chu Tian nodded, "Yes, that one."
Yao Xiujuan placed the rice on the dining table in the main hall, turned around, took the bowl from Lele, and said as she served the rice, "You said it wouldn't keep well, so I put it in the ice cellar."
"...put it in the ice cellar? Didn't you open it to see what was inside?"
Yao Xiujuan served the food before she straightened up and looked out again, "What's wrong? Brother Tian, do you want something to eat now? I'll get it for you then."
As she was about to walk out the door, Chu Tian grabbed her arm and said, "Don't take it yet. I'm just surprised that you didn't open it to take a look..."
Yao Xiujuan smiled and said, "I was going to open it and read it, but I forgot what I was in a hurry to do. I hurriedly put the bag in the ice cellar and forgot about it..."
Chu Tian, "..."
Old Mrs. Chu asked, "What's wrong? What's inside? Is it valuable?"
Chu Tian sat down, looked at Old Lady Chu, and replied with a smile, "It's not expensive, it's just some fruit leather I bought in Yili. Didn't you say your mouth was tasteless and you wanted to eat something sour? I suddenly thought of it..."
Lele blinked and asked, "Dad, what is fruit leather?"
Chu Tian explained with a smile, "It's made by peeling apples or apricots, cutting them into cubes, boiling them into a paste, and then drying and rolling up the skins. It's sour and sweet and perfect for people with no appetite..."
Lele exclaimed "Wow" and looked at Chu Tian with sparkling eyes, "Dad, is it delicious?"
Chu Tian reached out and touched her head. "Whether it tastes good or not, after dinner, Dad will give it to you to try, and then you will know..."
Lele nodded repeatedly, "Okay..."
Old Mrs. Chu looked at Chu Tian in surprise, "Can apricots and apples be used to make fruit leather? I've only heard that fruit leather is made from hawthorn!"
Chu Tian smiled and patiently explained, "Actually, it's mainly made of hawthorn. It's just that the farm we often go to has wild apple trees and wild apricot trees. A few years ago, experts came and planted apple trees grafted from those wild apples all over the ravine. In autumn, the whole hillside is covered with apples that have fallen from the trees."
"The pigs on the farm were all digging for apples under the apple trees. Besides, every household there had apple trees. There were so many apples that they weren't rare, but they couldn't be thrown away. What would we do if we couldn't finish them? So the team members tried to peel the apples and make a sauce, spread it on a plate and dry it, and save it for spring and summer..."
"Later, everyone discovered that apple-dried fruit leather not only tasted good but also lasted long, so they gradually experimented with other fruits. Finally, they tried apricots and found that the fruit leather they made was also delicious. So, in recent years, whenever apricots and apples are in season, every household makes a paste and dries it..."
Before he could finish his words, Chu Tian caught a glimpse of Pingping coming back with his hands covering his lower right abdomen, covered in cold sweat. He quickly stood up, walked to his side, bent down and asked.
"Pingping, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling sick in your stomach?"
Pingping nodded with difficulty, tears in her eyes, "It hurts, Dad, my stomach hurts so much..."
