Chu Tian took a sip of milk tea with fried rice and smiled faintly.
"I heard that the cattle and sheep in Inner Mongolia are better than those in Xinjiang, so I wanted to try it to see which is better, Xinjiang or Inner Mongolia."
“····”
The strong man looked at Chu Tian in disbelief, and after a long while he managed to utter a few words, "Brother, I don't know what the cattle and sheep in Xinjiang taste like, but the cattle and sheep in Inner Mongolia taste good. It just so happens that my family stewed a big pot of mutton this morning. When my wife comes back later, we can eat."
Chu Tian just smiled faintly, and the two of them started chatting back and forth. Just when Chu Tian had just gotten the local prices from the strong man and was about to ask about the local fruit market, the door was pushed open and a little boy ran into the yard like a cannonball.
"Abu..."
"Wu En, run slower, you..."
Before he finished speaking, the woman who had just walked into the yard, holding a child in one hand and a bag in the other, looked at the unfamiliar Chu Tian in surprise, then asked with a smile.
"Batu, you brought your friends back?"
The strong man named Batu picked up his son and rushed towards him, then stood up and nodded, "Yinyin, brother, brother..."
Chu Tian didn't tell the strong man his name, so after looking at his brother for a while, he stood up with a smile and introduced himself, "Hello, my name is Chu Tian."
The woman walked into the house, put the bag on the table, and put the little girl in her arms on the ground, letting her stand by holding the table, then she looked at Chu Tian and smiled.
"Hello, my name is Yao Yin, and I'm Batu's wife."
"Yao?"
Chu Tian raised his eyebrows.
Yao Yin was puzzled, "What's wrong?"
Chu Tian smiled and shook his head, "It's nothing, I just thought it was a coincidence, my wife's last name is Yao too."
Upon hearing this, Yao Yin just smiled faintly and said nothing, but Batu laughed happily and patted Chu Tian on the shoulder.
"Oh, Brother Chu, what a coincidence! This means that my wife and your wife were from the same family eight hundred years ago! That's why I threw you today. What is this? This is fate!"
“·····”
Chu Tianxin said to himself, I am really grateful for this damn fate!
Yao Yin frowned and looked at Batu, "What did you say? You threw someone down again? You promised me not to bully others anymore! Batu! You lied to me!"
The smile on Batu's face froze, and he quickly explained, "...Wife, I really didn't mean it. I thought Sukhbaru was attacking me from behind again, so I..."
"Besides, Brother Chu has already forgiven me..."
Yao Yin's expression remained grim. She glared at him and said, "You sleep with Wu En tonight!"
Batu, "..."
After watching his wife go into the kitchen to cook, Batu sighed and looked at Chu Tian, who was playing with his daughter, and asked, "Brother Chu, are you married?"
Chu Tian laughed, "I was born in 1948 and am already over 30 this year. Do you think I'm married?"
Batu was shocked. "What? You were born in 1948? You are five years older than me..."
"But you look a lot younger than me..."
"Then I can't call you Brother Chu, I have to call you Brother Chu..."
Chu Tian smiled and waved his hand, "No, no, it's just a name. You can call me anything you want, even Chu Tian."
I don’t know why, but Chu Tian feels that his appearance hasn’t changed much in the past few years.
Before leaving for Inner Mongolia, one day it suddenly rained heavily before school was over. Chu Tian was afraid that the three children would get sick, so he took his raincoat to the school to pick up Xinxin and the others. At the door of the classroom, he met their teacher. The teacher thought he was Xinxin's brother and asked him if he was married. They wanted to introduce him to someone, which made him laugh and cry...
Batu said seriously, "No, no, Owo has always told me that when I meet someone older than me, I must use respectful titles..."
Chu Tian was puzzled, "Owo?"
Batu quickly explained, "I'm sorry, I forgot you don't understand how we Mongolians address each other. Owo means grandpa, and my grandfather used to be the most respected elder in our tribe..."
He paused, with a sad look on his face, "It's just..."
Seeing this, Chu Tian quickly changed the subject, "Brother Batu, your wife isn't Mongolian, right?"
Batu nodded, "Yes, she is an educated youth from Guangzhou..."
Chu Tian was surprised. "From Guangzhou? Then how come she..."
But before Batu could explain, Yao Yin brought over a large bowl of hand-pulled meat from the kitchen. When she heard Chu Tian's question, she spoke up.
"I won't abandon my children and go back to the city. Besides, I was admitted to the normal school in this city, and our family has already moved from the grassland to live in the city."
Batu nodded. "Yes, the production team we live in is more than 300 kilometers away from the city. We live here now because she has to go to school. I am worried about leaving her alone in the city. Besides, the children can't live without her, and I can't live without her either. Otherwise, I would have to go to the summer pasture to graze her at this time of year..."
After they finished speaking, the couple looked at each other sweetly.
Chu Tian admired their idea very much, but he asked doubtfully, "So your wife goes to school, and you stay at home to take care of the children?"
Batu's face had a suspicious blush. There were no men taking care of children in their team, but since Chu Tian asked, he answered honestly.
"Well, the second child is still young and can't leave her mother. So I took them to the school to find their mother during the lunch break, and then came back to wait for them after the afternoon class..."
Chu Tian didn't think it was shameful for a man to take care of a child, he was just very curious.
"My sister-in-law receives a subsidy for her studies, so she has no problem eating and living, but what about you? Do you have a job?"
Batu stole a glance at his wife who walked into the inner room, leaned close to Chu Tian and whispered, "Before I was with Yin Yin, I often resold things, so..."
Chu Tian was shocked. Just as he was about to say something, he saw Batu suddenly blinking at him. He turned around and saw Yao Yin coming out of the inner room, so he quickly shut his mouth.
Batu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Chu Tian understood what he meant. His wife was good in every way, but because of the tragic end of those who had been involved in the black market in the past few years, she was scared and refused to let him continue.
However, their whole family relies on their previous savings to live, but it is not a good idea to rely solely on savings for a long time. Therefore, after he came to live in the city, he gradually picked up the reselling business again...
After dinner, before Chu Tian had time to say goodbye, he heard Yao Yin say to him, "Brother Chu, you talk to Batu. I have something else to do this afternoon and have to go back to school..."
Batu was stunned. "Isn't today the weekend? What could happen at school?"
Yao Yin smiled and said, "The teacher asked me to help organize the materials, so I guess I'll be back late."
"Oh, I'll pick you up later then."
"Okay, I'm leaving."
Yao Yin kissed both children on the face, then picked up her bag and left.
Chu Tian left in no hurry. "So, you fought with that guy today to steal his business???"
