"That's good."
Hearing that Yao Xiuhe was doing well, Yao Xiujuan felt relieved.
After chatting and laughing for a while, Yao Xiuhe asked curiously, "By the way, why didn't Xiuli come back this year? I thought the five of them were coming back today."
Yao Xiujuan explained with a smile, "Jianmin's eldest and second brothers both took their annual leave and returned to Beijing with their children for the Spring Festival this year, so Xiuli and her family can't come back."
Everyone knows that Li Jianmin's eldest brother and second brother live in the southwest and northeast respectively. They are not close to home and have few holidays. Sometimes they can't go back for two or three years. So when Yao Xiujuan said this, Yao Xiuhe understood.
At this time, Yao's mother, who had been listening to them with a smile, spoke up, "Xiuhe, since you're married to Xiaoliang, why don't you have another child?"
Yao Xiujuan, Yao Xiuhe, and Liu Jiali were all stunned for a moment. Finally, Yao Xiujuan asked in confusion, "Mom, why?"
Yao's mother sighed, "Xiuhe and Xiaoliang seem to be getting along well now, but who knows what will happen in the future? What if they have more conflicts over time?"
"But it's different with a child. With a child, there's a bond. This way, even if we have a fight, we can still get along..."
“·······”
Yao Xiujuan really wants to say that regardless of whether they have children or not, they will still quarrel when they need to, and will still divorce when they need to! It has nothing to do with whether they have children or not.
Everyone stayed happily for three days and said goodbye to each other reluctantly on the fifth day.
There is no other way, she has to go. Xinxin will start school on the 20th of the first lunar month, and the train from Xinjiang to Beijing still takes ten days to arrive, so she has to take the train to Beijing on the 8th of the first lunar month, otherwise she will miss the school.
(In fact, many cities had airplanes in the 1980s, but Xinjiang Airlines was only established in 1985. I don’t know if it existed before that...)
The eighth day of the Lunar New Year is the day to go back to school. This time, there is no need for Dazhu to take a detour to send Xinxin and Siya, because he has already made an appointment with He Xiangyang and Qi Xinghe to go back to school together. With the two of them around, both the Chu Tian family and the Chu Min family are very relieved.
Inside the train station, Xinxin touched Yao Xiujuan's slightly bulging belly and said reluctantly, "Mom, you must take good care of yourself and the little brother in your belly. I will miss you..."
Yao Xiujuan smiled slightly, "Okay, then you have to study hard. When you come back during summer vacation, your little brother will be born."
Xinxin nodded, then said with a look of regret, "It's a pity that when my brother was due, I hadn't had my holiday yet, so I couldn't see what he looked like when he was just born..."
Pingping interrupted, "Sister, I will take a picture of my brother, and you will be able to see him then."
Yes, Chu Tian asked Yao An in Guangzhou to buy him a camera by water from the port city. Originally, it was just to record family gatherings and children's growth, but Pingping was particularly fond of cameras and would tinker with it every day. And since no one taught him how to develop photos, he just learned how to use developer and fixer to develop photos from a book he bought in a bookstore.
Seeing that Pingping was not only determined to pursue his art, but also had a hobby that he loved for the first time, Chu Tian simply gave Pingping a camera so that he could use it as he pleased without affecting his studies. He also set up a darkroom for him in a spare room at home to develop photos.
Xinxin nodded happily when she heard that. "Well, Pingping, then you have to take pictures of your brother every day. I want to see how he changes."
Pingping agreed repeatedly, "Sister, don't worry."
Yao Xiujuan listened to the conversation between the siblings and smiled helplessly. At this time, she heard the staff start shouting, and hurriedly urged, "Okay, get in the car quickly."
"good."
Before getting in the car, Xinxin bent down and hugged Lele, who was red-eyed and reluctant to let her go. She kissed her on the cheek and said softly, "Be good, Lele. When I come back, I'll bring you some chocolate with liquor filling."
Lele pouted and said, "Sister, you must come back when you have a holiday."
"good···"
After seeing Xinxin off, Aunt Chu and Aunt Chu couldn't stay any longer and wanted to go back to their hometown. Seeing that they couldn't keep each other, Chu Tian asked someone to buy soft sleeper for them. He also prepared a lot of Xinjiang specialties and things given by Uncle Chu, Uncle Chu II, and other cousins, and mailed them back before sending them to the train station.
As for the children they brought with them, except for two who were already seventeen years old and did not continue to go to school and were unwilling to return to their hometown, they stayed in Xinjiang, and the remaining two younger children went back with them.
Chu Tian returned home and looked at the two half-grown boys. After thinking for a while, he looked at Old Lady Chu and suggested, "Grandma, they are still young. It would be a shame to let them work on my eldest brother's pig farm forever."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Chu looked at Chu Tian and said, "Xiaotian, what do you mean?"
Chu Tian smiled. "Don't we have night schools and short-term vocational schools in our city that teach various knowledge and skills? I was thinking of sending them there to learn some technical skills. That way, whether they stay in Xinjiang or return to their hometown, they'll have a skill and won't end up with nothing..."
Mrs. Chu knew what Chu Tian meant. She patted Chu Tian's hand and looked up at the two children. "What do you think of your uncle's opinion?"
The two children looked at each other and said in unison, "Our grandma told us to listen to our uncle."
Old Mrs. Chu glared, "Don't worry about your grandma for now, tell your great-grandmother first, what do you want to learn?"
One of the older grandchildren of Aunt Chu spoke first, "Grandma, I want to learn electrician..."
Another grandson of Aunt Chu also quickly spoke up, "Grandma, me too, I also want to learn electrician..."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Chu looked at Chu Tian and said, "My dear grandson, look?"
Chu Tian glanced at the two nervous children and said with a smile, "I think this is great. In the future, every household will have electricity. With electricity, all kinds of small problems will arise. When problems occur, someone will need to fix them. As long as you do your job as an electrician well, you will be welcomed wherever you go in the future..."
The two children looked at Mrs. Chu in surprise when they heard this.
Old Madam Chu nodded, waved to the two children, and called them over. "Your uncle sent you to school, you should be grateful. You have classes at night, so during the day you should..."
Listening to Old Lady Chu brainwashing the two children, Chu Tian didn't know what to say. Until she finished and drove the two children out, Chu Tian spoke with a helpless tone.
"Grandma, my aunt and uncle were so kind to me when I was little, and the tuition wasn't that much. It's really not necessary..."
