Chu Jie rubbed his head, feeling extremely irritated. "What do you think I should do about this? I'm so fed up. If I take them, I'm worried they'll get hurt. If I don't, I can only see them a dozen times a year!"
Chu Tian looked at Chu Jie and spread his hands helplessly, "There are only two ways."
Chu Jie immediately asked, "What method?"
"One, you resign!"
Looking at Chu Jie, he frowned. It was obvious that he was unwilling. He was a cadre now. Although he was not a high-ranking cadre, at least he had gotten rid of his worker status and entered the management level.
So it is quite normal that he is unwilling.
"Second, then you can bring your uncle and aunt to live with you in the coal mine. That way, when you're busy, your uncle and aunt will be there, and you won't have to worry about them being bullied."
“·····”
Chu Jie looked at Chu Tian with a puzzled expression and lowered his voice, "Xiaotian, do you want your brother to be beaten? Do you believe that if I dare to tell my parents not to farm anymore, they will hit me with a rolling pin?"
"Not only do my parents scold me, but if my grandmother knew, she would definitely scold me too!"
Chu Tian certainly believed what Chu Jie said, shrugged and continued, "There's nothing we can do at the moment. If we want our lives to continue to be so harmonious, then we can only maintain the status quo. They won't go to the coal mine to live, your uncle will continue to farm, and you will continue to see them only once a month..."
“······”
Even if Chu Jie didn't want to admit it in his heart, he had to admit that what Chu Tian said was right. Their life was very harmonious now. His second wife was gentle and knew how to be filial to the elderly. No matter what she thought in her heart, she treated his four children very well on the surface. Whatever she bought or made for her own daughter, she would also prepare it for Aizhu's four siblings.
Of course, he did the same. When he bought things for Aizhu and the others, he would not forget to prepare one for the child as well.
Here, at the train station in Beijing, Li Jianmin and Yao Xiuli had just gotten off the train station with their two children when they met his father's secretary and driver who came to pick them up.
"The mayor asked me to take you back to rest first, and then take you to school to register tomorrow."
"Brother Wang, thank you for coming to pick us up."
Secretary Wang took the luggage from Li Jianmin and said with a smile, "I didn't come here specially to pick you up. I was just here on business and happened to think you'd arrive today, so I waited a little longer and came to pick you up on the way back."
Li Jianmin, "·····"
After dinner in the evening, when Li Jianmin finished talking to Li's father and returned to the bedroom, he saw Yao Xiuli holding a cloth bag in her hand in a daze, and asked her with concern.
"Xiu Li? What's wrong with you?"
Xiuli came back to her senses and handed the cloth bag in her hand to Li Jianmin. She stood up and took off her coat while saying, "Ah, Huaiyu gave it to me when I was packing my luggage just now. She said it was given to her by her brother-in-law and asked her to give it to us when we get home..."
"What?"
Li Jianmin took the cloth bag, opened it, and was shocked. He looked at Yao Xiuli in disbelief, "This, this is from my brother-in-law?"
Yao Xiuli looked back at the pair of heavy gold bracelets and two high-quality mutton-fat jade peace buckles in the cloth bag and smiled slightly.
"Although Huaiyu is young, she never lies. I saw that pair of gold bracelets before we got married. At that time, my eldest brother-in-law wanted to give them to me as our wedding gift, but I refused. I didn't expect that he would give them to me in the end."
Li Jianmin nodded, thought for a moment and said, "I'll find two good red strings to tie the peace lockets together someday and give them to Huaiyu and Huaibo."
"As for these bracelets, since they were given to you by my eldest sister and her husband, you should keep them."
"This room was left for us by our parents. Mother said she would find the key for us tomorrow morning. When the time comes, just put away your valuables and lock the door."
Yao Xiuli was stunned for a moment, staring blankly at Li Jianmin, and said hesitantly, "We are all family here, it's not good to lock the door, right?"
Li Jianmin smiled and said, "There's nothing wrong with that. My eldest and second brothers' rooms are also locked when they're not around."
Yao Xiuli thought about it and nodded, "Then I understand."
The next morning, Li Jianmin took Yao Xiuli to register for admission. After everything was settled, he asked her to pick her up on Friday afternoon and then went to Peking University to register.
After reporting to Beijing, it was the day for registration at Xinjiang University. Among the seven companies and twenty-eight battalions of the entire Red Flag Corps, only fifty people were admitted to Xinjiang University, and the four battalions of the seventh company accounted for twenty of the places. This made the company commander of the seventh company particularly happy. He was so happy that he approved the company's tractors to take the twenty people who were admitted to Xinjiang University to report.
Because it was a big happy event and it happened to be the slack season for farming, basically all the families who were admitted to university wanted to send their children to university to see the world. One tractor could not pull fifty or sixty people, so Captain Sun generously lent out his own team's tractor.
Chu Tian sat in the driver's seat of Team Three's tractor. Looking at Chu Xinming and Sun Guoan sitting on either side of him, he called out to the people sitting in the truck bed, "Is everyone seated? We're about to set off."
"Okay, okay, Chu Tian, let's go quickly!"
When they were almost at the gate of Xinjiang University, they saw that the people lined up in front were all parents who had come to send their children off. They were all driving horse-drawn carriages, ox-drawn carts, bicycles, or tractors. There were really only two tractors belonging to Chu Tian's company.
Chu Tian didn't want to wait in line, so he said hello to the tractor sent by the company nearby, turned the steering wheel left, and parked the tractor on a piece of open space less than one kilometer away from Xinjiang University.
After getting off the tractor, Chu Tian stood under the truck bed and first carried Old Mrs. Chu down, followed by Lele and Yao Xiujuan.
"Daya, can you come down? Do you need..."
Before she finished speaking, Daya quickly shook her head and said, "Uncle, I can come down."
After she finished speaking, Daya jumped down neatly, then turned around and picked up Qinglai who was still on the truck bed.
Chu Tian took Daya's luggage off the truck bed and looked at Daya walking ahead, holding Lele in one hand and Qinglai in the other. He asked Yao Xiujuan in a puzzled voice, "Xiujuan, didn't big brother and big sister-in-law say that they would send Daya off? Why didn't he come today?"
Yao Xiujuan responded in a low voice, "Qingkang had a fever again last night, and my eldest brother and sister-in-law took him to the hospital overnight. This morning, my eldest sister-in-law came back and said she wanted to take Daya away, but Daya refused and asked her to go back to the hospital to look after Qingkang..."
"... Sick again? Well, Qingkang's health is indeed more important!"
