Raising a family through the 1970s

The next day, when it was still dark, Sun Weiguo came to pull supplies again, and now Chutian basically asked Sun Weiguo and the two brothers to run every day, taking advantage of the fact that the farming has not yet started, to earn more.

When the farm work really begins, from the elderly in their seventies to the children of five or six years old, except for pregnant women who are about to give birth or women who are in confinement, there is no one who does not go to the ground, and they all want to hurry up and cultivate, otherwise how can a brigade of one or two thousand acres of land be planted?

Even if the planting is finished, the rest of the work will come one after another, watering when there is a shortage of water, pulling weeds and removing seedlings when there is no shortage of water, and even when everything is good, they will have to open up new land again

Hey, in short, I was busy until the autumn harvest in October.

Chu Tian handed him a letter and a package, and instructed, "You must send it today, don't forget!"

Sun Weiguo carefully held the letter and package, nodded heavily, and said, "Brother Tian, don't worry, my eldest brother and I will go to the post office after delivering the goods." As

he said that, he was about to leave, but Chu Tian hurriedly grabbed him, "Hey, wait."

Sun Weiguo was puzzled, "What's wrong?"

Chu Tian smiled and took out four yuan from his pocket and handed it to him, "You and your eldest brother didn't pay you yesterday..."

Sun Weiguo didn't have anything to twist, he took it generously, and said with a smile, "It's nothing, weren't you busy yesterday?"

Chu Tian watched Sun Weiguo and the two brothers gradually disappear into the night, and then turned around and went back to the nest where he slept, and when he lay on the kang and brewed sleep, he was still thinking about the letter to the old lady Chu and them.

He said in the letter that if Mrs. Chu wanted to come, he and one of the second brothers would go back to pick her up when the farm was slack, and if he didn't want to come, he would wait until this winter or next winter, and he would take his daughter-in-law and children back to see them...

In the end, he put fifty yuan and some national food stamps that Sun Weiguo bought from Li Gang, he was embarrassed to accept a dozen yuan that Mrs. Chu had saved for many years, but Mrs. Chu had already given it to him, so he could only return it doubled...

When he was sleeping in a daze

, Chu Tian vaguely heard someone calling him, he thought he was dreaming, but when he heard Yao Xiujuan's voice calling his second brother, he knew that he was not dreaming! "Second brother, are you looking for me?"

Chu Tian didn't have his shoes and clothes on, so he hurriedly opened the door and looked at Chu Min, who was standing outside the house talking to his daughter-in-law! Chu Min

and Yao Xiujuan looked at Chu Tian, and when they saw that he was disheveled, Yao Xiujuan walked towards him and said coquettishly, " Brother Tian, why don't you get dressed and come out again?"

Chu Tian looked down at his clothes, and pretended to be calm, "It's all your own family, it doesn't matter."

Chu Min coughed sideways and said with a smile, "Yes, what the junior brother said is right, don't mind the fourth brother and sister."

Yao Xiujuan looked left and right

, and wanted to say, what do I have to mind? He is my man, what kind of appearance I haven't seen? Chu Tian can be regarded as understanding Chu Min's cheekiness, he rolled his eyes and gave

Chu Min, "What's the matter with the second brother coming to me so early?" Chu Min didn't mind Chu Tian's eyes, but still pointed to Chu Tian's dress with a smile and asked, "Little brother, are you sure you want to dress like this and listen to me?" Or do you get dressed while I say? "

“···"

In the end, it was Chu Tian who drove the carriage out with Chu Min again.

Chu Tian, who returned home in the evening, said hello to Yao Xiujuan, and returned to the nest next door, paralyzed to the kang, and didn't want to move, he was tired of running today, and Chu Min ran to the cement factory twenty or thirty kilometers away, in order to buy some cement, it was really painstaking, and followed the sales director behind the cement factory for countless circles, and finally said that people were willing to sell to them in advance, and the hardships were only understood by their brothers

At present, the speed of cement production is very slow, and the supply exceeds demand every year, so many of them are ordered half a year in advance, a year, and even the cement used in the city's textile mills to build new factories is ordered a year and a half in advance.

But how could the Chutian brothers know about this? But they had come and gone, and it was not easy to return empty-handed, so they went to the supply and marketing cooperatives of the Changsheng Production Corps, which was only less than 10 kilometers away from the cement factory.

One person scraped together a few dollars, bought a few packs of cigarettes and two bottles of wine and returned to the cement factory, found the sales director, and begged for another kind meal, and the director of the family may also see that the two brothers Chutian were sending cigarettes and wine, so they were embarrassed to refuse.

After thinking about it, he took out a part of the one ton of cement that was originally going to be sent to the textile factory, and the two brothers didn't want much, so he would send more to the textile factory in the next batch to make up for it

Of course, they don't want much, people won't deliver the goods, and Chutian has to pull it themselves

Yao Xiujuan walked into the nest next door with a bowl of rice, and just wanted to say that it was time to eat, when she saw that Chu Tian had fallen asleep, she gently put the dishes and chopsticks on the kang head, looked at Chu Tian's slightly tired face, and thought to herself that he must be tired today, otherwise how could she fall asleep when she went to serve the rice? Carefully covering Chu Tian with the quilt, Yao Xiujuan walked out again with the dishes and chopsticks

.

Yao Xiuli was washing Wuya's feet, and when she raised her eyes, she saw Yao Xiujuan coming back with untouched dishes and chopsticks, she was busy wiping Wuya's feet, hugged her back to the kang, and walked back and said, "Eldest sister, doesn't your eldest brother-in-law like to eat?

Yao Xiuli was surprised, "Didn't the eldest brother-in-law just come back?" Yao Xiujuan

scooped up a little more water into the basin, and replied while washing her hands, "Well, your eldest brother-in-law ran for a day today, and he is probably tired..."

After thinking about it, he said, "Xiuli, you can cook early tomorrow morning, right?" Your eldest brother-in-law likes to eat soup and rice, so let's make soup and rice, right?" Yao Xiuli

nodded, "Okay, it just so happened that Sister-in-law Wei Guo gave me a few potatoes and a small bottle of tomato sauce yesterday..."

Yao Xiujuan walked back to the kang, glanced back at Yao Xiuli, and smiled at the corner of her mouth, "You and Wei Guo's daughter-in-law have a good relationship now?" Yao Xiuli grinned, "Wei Guo's sister-in-law

is very good..."

Yao Xiujuan took off her clothes and nodded, "In that case, you can play with her more during the day."

Yao Xiuli pouted, "No, my eldest sister is eight months pregnant now, I have to guard you!"

After a pause, she said, "I don't know how my brother is now... It's been almost a month..."

Yao Xiujuan was also worried about Yao Youjun, but she comforted, "It's okay, he listens to your eldest brother-in-law very much, your eldest brother-in-law asked him to go to work hard, he will definitely go to work well..."
