After staying in the brigade for one night, they greeted each other on the first day of the New Year and had lunch before Chu Tian and the others returned to the city. Tomorrow, on the second day of the New Year, he would take Yao Xiujuan and the children back to her parents' home.
Originally, Chu Tian felt that it would be too boring for Old Lady Chu, Big Aunt Chu, and Little Aunt Chu to stay in the city during the New Year, so he wanted to let Old Lady Chu and the other two stay in the brigade for a few more days to have some fun, and then pick her up to live in the city when they came back from Yao Xiujuan's parents' home. However, Old Lady Chu was not happy about it. She thought it was boring in the brigade without TV, so she wanted to go back with them too and watch TV.
"Brother, we'll go back first..."
Chu Jun escorted Chu Tian and Chu Min to the gate of the courtyard. He put the pig that had been slaughtered before the New Year on Chu Tian and Chu Min's carts, putting half a pig on each of them. Then he waved and said, "Well, let's go back."
But before they had time to leave, Chu Wen's family came over. The couple, along with their three children, came up to them enthusiastically.
Chu Wen nudged his and Li Guangmin's three children and urged them, "Children, hurry up and call them uncle, uncle, and say Happy New Year to them. Then they will give you red envelopes."
"They are big bosses, so the red envelopes they give are definitely huge..."
Looking at Chu Wen talking to himself, Chu Jun looked awkwardly at Old Lady Chu, Aunt Chu, Aunt Chu, Uncle Chu and others standing beside him. They winked at Chu Wen frantically, but Chu Wen seemed not to see their ugly faces and still looked at them with a smile.
"Grandma, long time no see."
At this time, Li Guangmin also responded sarcastically, "Big brother, second brother, little brother, you all make money, and you can't be stingy when you give red envelopes to the children once a year!"
"us····"
Listening to Chu Wen and his wife talking non-stop, Aunt Chu thought of what Liu Zhaodi had done, and then remembered what Old Lady Chu had said about what Chu Wen and his wife had done after they arrived in Xinjiang. She couldn't bear it anymore, and rushed to Li Guangmin, grabbed Li Guangmin's collar, and slapped him several times in the face.
"Get lost, who the hell do you think you are? What does the bastard Chu Wen's child have to do with our Chu family? It's already a kindness from our Chu family that we can let him keep the surname Chu!"
"Still want money? Sure, when you die, go find Liu Zhaodi in the underworld!"
Then, Aunt Chu pointed at Chu Wen and said through gritted teeth, "I tell you, if you dare to come to our Chu family's place and nag again, I will show you how I will deal with you..."
Li Guangmin was stunned. She covered her face with her hands in disbelief, and looked at Aunt Chu. "You, you, you old aunt, who the hell are you? Why do you dare to hit me..."
But before she could finish her scolding, Aunt Chu stepped forward and slapped her twice in the face. "I'm telling you, we are the aunts of the Chu family. If you keep talking dirty, we will continue to slap you!"
Li Guangmin glared at Chu Xiaogu and was about to step forward when she saw the men of the Chu family stand forward tacitly. She instantly wilted and quickly hid behind Chu Wen.
Chu Wen glanced at Li Guangmin with disdain, but still went forward to talk to Chu Min and Chu Tian, "Second brother, little brother, it's been a long time since we last met."
Chu Tian snorted at him coldly, "Chu Wen, are you out of your mind? Who are you calling your little brother? Who here is your little brother? Don't shout nonsense, we said it clearly at the beginning, we are strangers from now on..."
Chu Min also said with a distinctly alienated tone, "Chu Wen, since you've already returned from the farm, just live a good life. Don't dwell on those things every day. It's useless to think about things that are not yours. It's better to live a down-to-earth life..."
"Uncle..."
The smile on Chu Wen's face froze, and he turned around and wanted to talk to Uncle Chu and the others.
"Go away, go away, go away! Who is your uncle? Your uncle is back home!"
Uncle Chu and the others didn't give him a chance, and Ershan simply drove them away.
Only after seeing them leave did Chu Tiancai say in surprise, "How did Chu Wen become so shameless now?..."
Chu Jun explained calmly, "He's been spoiled by his mother since he was little, and he's never done any farm work. Even when he spent a few years on the farm, he was lazy and didn't do the work well. When he came back, the team leader divided the land between them, but they were also very inactive."
"So, the harvest from the two hundred or so mu of land they were allowed to cultivate was not as much as from the fifty mu of land others had. After deducting the public grain they had to pay, there was basically nothing left..."
Aunt Chu exclaimed, "Two hundred acres yield less than fifty acres? How is that possible? How can there be such a huge difference?"
Chu Jun scratched his head and explained helplessly, "It's one thing that they haven't finished planting the two hundred acres of land, but the main thing is that they basically didn't take care of the crops they planted. They just let the crops grow on their own, so..."
Chu Jun didn't finish what he said, but everyone understood. During the New Year, no one wanted to think about the unhappy things that happened before, so he said a few words and changed the subject. After chatting about something else, they said goodbye and left.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, at Yao's house, I met Yao Youjun and his family, whom I hadn't seen for a long time, as well as Yao Xiuhe, her second husband, and her stepdaughter.
After lunch, the men drank too much and went to bed, while the children watched TV in the living room. As for the women, they gathered in the room where Yao Xiuli lived before her wedding to chat.
"Xiu He, how is your brother-in-law treating you?"
Yao Xiujuan rarely sees Yao Xiuhe and her second husband, so she is really worried that her second husband will treat her badly.
"I··"
Before Yao Xiuhe finished speaking, Liu Jiali smiled and continued, "Don't worry, big sister, my second brother-in-law loves me very much. The staff in our steel plant cafeteria all know it..."
"They all say that my second brother-in-law is a wife slave. Whatever my second sister says goes, and the boss's words are not as effective as my second sister's..."
Yao Xiujuan looked at Yao Xiuhe in surprise, "Xiuhe, is this true?"
Yao Xiuhe nodded embarrassedly, "Well, Lao Liang is very good to me and the children, and the two children like him very much..."
Her second husband was the chef in the steel plant canteen. He was a nice man and about eleven or twelve years older than her. At first, she was actually unwilling to marry him, firstly because she was injured, and secondly because he was much older than her.
But Lao Liang was really good to her. He was very patient when he started pursuing her. Even though she rejected him again and again, he didn't get angry and still treated her as usual. Moreover, his child was not very old, only one year older than her eldest son. The little girl had a good personality. She had met him before she was with Lao Liang. The little girl even asked her if she could be her mother. She took the two children to the steel plant to play a few times later. The little girl got along well with her two sons and herself.
