Raising a family through the 1970s

"Grandma, it's time for us to go home, right? We've been here for a month..."

Chu Jie was casually watering the vegetable patch in Chu Tian's house, while peeking at the old lady Chu who was thinning spinach seedlings.

Old Mrs. Chu paused when she heard this, grabbed a few spinach in her hands, and slowly straightened her waist, "It's been a month?

“···"

Chu Jie put down the bucket and walked to Mrs. Chu's side, and asked helplessly, "Grandma, don't you always

want to go back?" Mrs. Chu sighed, "I said I don't want to go back, can you be willing?"

Chu Jie rubbed his temples, "Milk..."

Before he finished speaking, Old Lady Chu interrupted him, "Chu Jie, what did you say about our family moving here

?" "What?"

Chu Jie was stunned, and he didn't react for a while.

Mrs. Chu pulled Chu Jie to sit down under the tree on the side of the road, and said, "You see, Xinjiang is vast and sparsely populated, and each family's homestead has more than one acre, not to mention, they only need to do one season of farm work a year, and they also organize the team members to do some side jobs every winter, and the earned work is exchanged for money at the end of the year to be distributed to the team members

"What do you think?"

After speaking, Old Lady Chu still looked at Chu Jie expectantly.

Chu Jie swallowed his saliva and spoke after a while, "I, I think my father and second uncle will be dizzy when they know what you think at this time..."

Old Mrs. Chu's eyes widened in anger, "You dead rabbit cub, I'll talk to you well, you won't talk well?"

Chu Jie said innocently, "Grandma, I have something to say, it's just, this matter... I really can't say..."

Mrs. Chu stood up angrily, walked back with her hands behind her back, walked a few meters away, and didn't forget to turn around and shout, "Don't forget to bring

back the bucket!" Chu Jie reluctantly responded, turned around and walked back to the vegetable field to lift the bucket before walking back, the two of them walked halfway and met Chu Min who came back from work.

"Brother Min, are you off work?"

"Well, you and your grandmother just came back from the house?"

Chu Min nodded, glanced at the unhappy old lady Chu, and wondered what was wrong? Could it be that his mother and the third child provoked her again?

But I can't... My mother hasn't been out for a month, and she sits down like an old monk every day, staying at home, and even the meals are sent into the house by Chu Jun three times a day, as for Chu Wen's two children, it is even more impossible, since they were blackmailed for hundreds of dollars in the hospital, and a few days after being discharged from the hospital, when the old lady Chu was working in Chutian, she took Chu Jie to the school where Chu Wen worked, and he paid another three hundred...

Therefore, the two of them are now estimated to be too late to hide from them, how can they come back and deliberately look for the old lady's displeasure?

Chu Jie nodded, and wanted to say something, when he heard the old lady Chu's tone with a sense of loss.

"I'll go back first, you brothers talk. After

speaking, he walked in the direction of the educated youth point.

Chu Min looked at the old lady's back and frowned, "What's the matter?" Chu

Jie sighed, and explained with a headache, "That's it, grandma wants the brothers in my hometown to move over..."

Chu Min was stunned when he heard this, "Ah?"

Chu Jie thought that Chu Min also thought that his grandmother was whimsical, so he opened his mouth and continued, "Yes, I think grandma is too taken for granted, where is there no shortage of food now?

"But..."

Before he finished speaking, Chu Min interrupted him, "Chu Jie, I think grandma's idea is good, our Xinjiang is vast and sparsely populated, especially our company, because it is the last company established in the entire Red Flag Corps, so the number has always been insufficient, and the fields that are cultivated every year are also limited..."

"I don't particularly know the current situation in my hometown, but I followed your sister-in-law back to their mother's house a few years ago, and their hometown is now full of people and little land, even if they work tirelessly every day, they can't share much food and money all year round, and the homestead land shared by each family is not good..."

Chu Jie's eyes widened in shock, and he said in disbelief, "Fourth brother, you, you..."

Chu Min smiled lightly, "I said that none of us can make a decision, so why don't we write another letter to our hometown?" Write down the specific situation in Xinjiang, as well as the approximate amount of money and food that each person can get every year, even if the eldest and second uncle are unwilling to come, but the other brothers may not!"

"We can't make the decision to let them come, but we can't make the decision not to let them come..."

Chu Jie was silent, he knew that Chu Min was right, in the brigade to which he belonged, there were more than 100 households, and the land was only about 2,000 acres, but of these 100 or so households, there were as few as four people, and many of them were like his family and the second uncle's family, there were about 20 people, and on average, there were more than 10 people in each family...

I want to know that so many people can get food from everyone's hands every year, but there is really not much...

Chu Min knew that Chu Jie was smart, and he didn't continue to say anything at the moment, so he patted him on the shoulder and walked in the direction of the old Chu family, leaving him alone to think about it.

In fact, he also hopes that the Chu family in his hometown can come, so that in the future, Chu Wen will never dare to make a mistake, and his mother will be a lot more honest, hmm, although he is not afraid of Chu Wen and Liu Zhaodi.

"Dad, mother, I'll go back first?"

Chu Tian was ready to say goodbye after Yao's father and Yao's mother got up from a nap.

Father Yao bowed slightly, "Well, go back, be careful on the road."

Yao's mother came over with a bag and hung it on the back seat of Chutian, "This is the first leek in the family, the leek roots planted in your homestead are estimated to not grow much taller now, and these leeks can be eaten for one or two meals when you take them back." "

Well, then I'll go first?"

After speaking, Chu Tian waved to Yao's father, Yao's mother, and Yao Xiuli, and rode away.

After sending Chu Tian away, the three members of the Yao family are also going to work, Yao's mother hesitated for a moment and asked.

"Xiujuan's father, why didn't you tell your eldest son-in-law

?" Yao's father glanced at Yao's mother beside him, and asked suspiciously

, "What are you talking about?" Yao's mother, so angry, "What else can you say?" Yao Xiuli was shocked, "Mother, do you really plan to let your brother marry Sister Lifang?"

Yao's mother patted her unhappily, "·····What?

Yao's father said helplessly, "If you want to talk about this, you should also talk to the girl's father and mother or your own grandmother, what do you say to

the eldest son-in-law?" Yao's mother knew that what Yao's father said was reasonable, but she still couldn't help muttering, "There's nothing bad about talking to the eldest son-in-law in advance..."

Father Yao waved his hand impatiently, "What's the hurry? it should be our friendly army, it will still be his later, even if it shouldn't be his, even if it is said in advance, what can it be?" Yao's

mother, "······

".
