"Actually, there's nothing much in the supply and marketing cooperative. I bought a lot of things from other places, including apples, but the apples I bought are incomparable to those stunted apples in the supply and marketing cooperative..."
Wu Ya, who had been quietly nestling in Chu Tian's arms, heard this and asked in surprise, "Daddy, are there apples?"
Chu Tian looked down at Wu Ya, whose eyes were sparkling, and said with a smile, "Yes, Dad bought some. I'll ask your mom to cut it up for you when we get home."
Wu Ya's eyes curved with joy, "Wow, Wu Ya can eat apples now. Sister San Ya said apples are better than crabapples, but Wu Ya has never eaten crabapples..."
"Dad, what do crabapples taste like?"
After hearing what Wu Ya said, Yao Xiujuan's eyes turned red and she felt very uncomfortable. Although most people's lives are not easy nowadays, every household has two or three fruit trees planted in the yard. Of course, the old Chu family also has one, a crabapple tree and a plum tree.
However, my daughter has never eaten any fruit grown in the yard of the old Chu family since she learned to eat. It’s not that the fruit trees in the old Chu family don’t bear fruit, but most of the fruits every year are given to the third son’s family, and only a small part is given to the other children in the old Chu family, and Wu Ya is not among these children.
She clearly remembered the season when the crabapples were ripe this year. A strong wind blew down two or three ripe fruits. The girl excitedly ran forward to pick them up, but was seen by her mother-in-law Liu Zhaodi. She rushed forward and slapped Wu Ya to the ground, cursing her and saying that she would rather chop the fruits into pieces and feed them to the chickens than give them to Wu Ya.
Wu Ya felt very aggrieved. She nestled in her arms and kept asking why she was not given any food when the chicken was given to her. She asked her grandmother if she didn't like her and why her brothers and sisters could eat it but she couldn't.
What did she and Chu Tian answer at that time? Oh, right, it was because Wu Ya was still young, and grandma was afraid that Wu Ya would get something stuck in her throat when she was not careful while eating. It was not that she didn't like her...
Yao Xiujuan could think of this, and Chu Tian's original body certainly had some memories of it. He was silent for a moment and said, "Begonia? When the crabapples are ripe next year, can Dad pick some for Wu Ya?"
Wu Ya clapped her hands and said happily, "Daddy is the best..."
"Weiguo, the captain hasn't finished the meeting yet? Where are the rest of our team?"
When Chu Tian brought his wife and daughter to the gate of the regiment headquarters, he saw that among the rows of carriages, only Sun Weiguo was sitting in a carriage, and all the people who had arrived in the morning were nowhere to be seen.
"Brother Tian, you're back?"
Sun Weiguo was just bored when he suddenly heard Chu Tian's voice. He jumped off the carriage excitedly, walked to Chu Tian's side, helped him take off the backpack on his back and put it on the carriage, while explaining.
"My dad hasn't come out yet. I don't know when the meeting will end, so Accountant Xu took the team members back first..."
Chu Tian nodded in understanding, "So you're just going to wait like this? Why don't you find a place to warm up?"
Standing beside the carriage, he spread out the bedding he had brought in the morning, helped Yao Xiujuan sit in, and then put Wu Ya down next to Yao Xiujuan.
Sun Weiguo looked at Brother Tian who was so considerate, and touched the hat on his head uncomfortably. "I, I looked for it. I was staying in the regiment security department before, but then a small leader came and didn't let me stay..."
Chu Tian glanced at the guard not far away when he heard this. From the window, he vaguely saw a neatly dressed man sitting inside. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is that the man sitting inside now?"
Sun Weiguo took a look and nodded, "Yes, it's him."
