"Did you know? There's a rhyme about smoking Mohe cigarettes..."
"Pinch a two-inch piece of newspaper, roll it up tightly with both hands, twist it with your fingers, stick it with saliva, hold it in your mouth, light it with a match, and puff out smoke..."
After reciting the jingle, Captain Sun also rolled a cigarette, approached the stove, lit a wooden stick, and lit the cigarette in his mouth. He took a deep puff and said with satisfaction, "Good cigarette, really good cigarette. I can tell from the smell that it is the new Mohe cigarette this year..."
Sun Weiguo, "..."
Chu Tian didn't know that he had just casually given some Mo He cigarettes, but it made Captain Sun and his son's mood so up and down. Now, when they were less than two hundred meters away from Old Chu's house, he hurriedly took out the prepared things from the space, held them in his hands and strode back.
"Old Four, you bought so many things again? Which ones are for Mom? Can your sister-in-law help you give them to Mom?"
Chu Tian ran into his elder sister-in-law Ma Cuihua outside the courtyard of the old Chu family. He sighed in his heart and thought to himself that he was so unlucky, but he put on a fake smile on his face.
"Thank you for your kindness, sister-in-law. But I have my own hands, so I won't bother you."
"If you're bored, why don't you help Daya cook? She's only twelve now. Do you have the nerve to let her serve you every day?"
"Sister-in-law, this is not the old times anymore. You can't have those landlord-bourgeois ideas..."
Ma Cuihua was startled. She looked around and saw someone walking out of the next yard. She hurriedly dragged Chu Tian into the yard and whispered, "Old Four, what nonsense are you talking about? How could I have any idea of being a landlord or a petty bourgeois?"
Chu Tian looked at Ma Cuihua pulling his arm and raised his eyebrows. "Sister-in-law, don't blame me for not warning you. You'd better change your habit of always pulling and tugging with men..."
"otherwise···"
Before she finished speaking, Ma Cuihua immediately released her grip on Chu Tian's arm, stepped back a few steps, and yelled, "Old Four, what nonsense are you talking about? When did I ever have any contact with a man?"
"Is this nonsense? My sister-in-law must know better than me, right?"
After saying that, Chu Tian snorted coldly and strode towards the dugout in the fourth room.
Ma Cuihua felt cold all over and looked at Chu Tian's back in panic. Her hands were clenched together and trembled constantly. She thought it was impossible, Chu Tian must have just said it casually... She did not go out at the moment, but went back to the main house.
Erya looked at her mother and asked curiously, "Mom, why are you back again? Didn't you say..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Ma Cuihua. She turned around and angrily scolded, "No, no, no? There is nothing..."
"?"
Erya looked at Ma Cuihua with a confused look on her face, not understanding why her mother suddenly became like this.
Erzhu, who was dozing off on the earthen kang nearby, sat up, rubbing his eyes, looking unhappy. "Mom, Second Sister, what are you two arguing about? Can't you see I'm sleeping?"
Ma Cuihua reacted and hurried forward to pat Erzhu on the back, "Okay, it's okay, go to sleep."
"Stop bothering me..."
Erzhu mumbled to himself and lay down again, continuing to sleep soundly.
Ma Cuihua repeatedly assured, "Okay, okay..."
After Erzhu fell asleep, Erya asked in confusion, "Mom, what's wrong with you? Didn't you say you were going to get some candy for Erzhu and me?"
Ma Cuihua glared at him and said, "What candy? If you dare to say anything nonsense outside in the future without candy, I will teach you a lesson..."
Seeing that her mother was really angry, Erya shrank her neck and whispered, "I, I know..."
Ma Cuihua thought absentmindedly that she had to be more careful in the future. At least, she had to behave herself before the fourth brother's family was separated.
Chu Tian actually just said it casually at that time. He didn't know that Ma Cuihua was really flirting with other men, and he didn't know that Ma Cuihua almost scared himself to death. He returned to the dugout in the fourth room at this time, handed the things he brought back to Yao Xiujuan, and sat on the bench beside him, looking at Yao Xiujuan and her mother with a smile on his face.
Yao Xiujuan took out two thick military coats from the backpack and looked at Chu Tian in surprise, "Brother Tian, what is this?"
Chu Tian glanced sideways and answered honestly, "It's a military coat... I bought it today."
Yao Xiujuan, "This, this must be very expensive, right?"
Although no one in her family owned a military coat, she had seen people wearing them, but the fabrics of those coats were not as good as the two she had in her hands.
Chu Tian thought about the two wool-lined military coats and realized they were indeed more expensive than the ones with just padded lining. He nodded and said, "Well, they are not cheap."
"But they're expensive for a reason. Look at the insides of these two military coats."
Yao Xiujuan flipped it inside and took a look. She was shocked. "Is this wool?"
Chu Tian smiled and nodded, "Well, the whole wool and cotton military coat, in fact, there is also a pure cotton one, the price is much cheaper, but I think this one is warmer to wear, so I took this one."
After a pause, he continued, "By the way, I also bought two pairs of warm boots, also lined with wool, one pair for you and one for me..."
Yao Xiujuan looked towards the backpack when she heard this. Sure enough, there were two pairs of shoes at the bottom. Yao Xiujuan's hands trembled and her voice trembled, "Brother Tian, this isn't much cheaper than a cotton coat..."
Chu Tian didn't wait for her to finish and hurriedly said, "Aren't we going back to our parents tomorrow? It's so cold along the way. How many years have we worn our own cotton-padded clothes and cotton shoes? It will take a long time on the road. How can we withstand it wearing those..."
“·····”
Although Chu Tian's words made sense, Yao Xiujuan still felt that it was not good, mainly because Chu Tian did not mention the price...
Just when Yao Xiujuan was about to say something, Wu Ya hugged the orange candy Chu Tian bought and shouted excitedly, "Wow, Daddy, is this orange candy?"
Chu Tian looked down at Wu Ya and said with a smile, "Yes, Wu Ya likes it?"
Wu Ya nodded heavily and said in a slightly aggrieved tone, "I like it. Wu Ya has never eaten orange candy, but Sister San Ya has..."
Chu Tian originally wanted to buy orange candies as gifts for Yao Xiujuan when he returned to her parents' home tomorrow, but when he heard Wu Ya say this, he hurriedly said.
"If Wu Ya likes it, why don't you keep it for yourself?"
Yao Xiujuan listened to Wu Ya's aggrieved voice and instantly forgot what she was about to say. She also said, "Wu Ya, you also have orange candies now. We don't envy your sister San Ya."
Wu Ya blinked, looked at the orange candies in her arms, thought for a moment, and said naively, "But, this is too much, Wu Ya can't finish it..."
Chu Tian smiled, picked up Wu Ya, and asked patiently, "What are you going to do with this, Wu Ya?"
Wu Ya said in a baby voice, "Wu Ya wants to give it to grandma, grandpa, uncle, and aunt..."
