Raising a family through the 1970s

After eating at home in the evening, Yao Xiuli watched Chu Tian sitting alone by the kang and teasing her nephew Pingping, after thinking for a while, she stepped forward and whispered, "Brother-in-law, I have also been here for more than three months, and now my eldest sister has also been out of confinement, and Xiao Pingping has been more than a month and almost two months, I, I want to go home..."

Chu Tian's movements paused, raised his head to look at Yao Xiuli, and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?"

Chu Tian thought for a moment and said, "Recently, the crops in the field have grown, and it hasn't rained much, and there is a great shortage of water in the corn field, I have to go to work and water every day, or only a few days, right? After watering this field in a few days, I will ask for leave to send you back?"

Yao Xiuli just wanted to say that she could walk to the group field by herself and take the car, "I, I can..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Chu Tian, "You are a girl, not a young man, since I brought you here, I can't let you go back by yourself!"

Saying that, Chu Tian took a small thin quilt and wrapped it around his son, picked it up and walked out.

Yao Xiuli, "···".

"Little Tenth Brother, did Sister Xiuli say that she wants to go home?"

Chu Tian, who had just walked out of the ground with his son in his arms, was pulled aside by Chu Lifang and asked.

Chu Tian was stunned, "Yes, what's wrong?" Chu

Lifang hesitated for a moment but then said, "I, I seem to know why Sister Xiuli wants to go back..."

Chu Tian frowned, "What's going on?"

Chu Lifang looked left and right, and saw that there was a young man not far away who was fetching water, and her grandmother took Wuya out for a walk, so she pulled Chu Tian out of the young spot, and found a place where no one was there before speaking.

"I found out a few days ago that something was wrong with my sister Xiuli, every time she sat at the door of the house, she always looked at the house opposite the young people in a daze... And when the educated youths come back from work, when she sees someone, she will blush..."

Chu Tian was shocked, and his voice couldn't help but be a little higher, "What? when?"

The originally well-behaved son in his arms was instantly unhappy, and he "hummed" again and again, Chu Tian hurriedly patted it gently, and only asked in a low voice until he regained his composure.

"What's the matter? Who

took the initiative?" Chu Lifang thought for a moment and then continued, "I don't think it's the male intellectuals named Li Jianmin who took the initiative, he has never taken the initiative to find Xiuli's sister, but twice when Xiuli's sister was carrying water from the well, when her hand slipped, that Li Jianmin saw it and helped lift it twice..."

After a pause, he said, "But I can be sure that neither of them took the initiative, and that Li Jianmin educated youth didn't just help her, twice when grandma wanted to get something, he would help when he saw it, and he would help if he came with him, and he would help if he needed help, I thought, but, maybe it's just Xiuli's sister her, she..."

Chu Lifang didn't know what to say for the rest of the words, but Chu Tian had already understood, it was nothing more than the girl's first love, but thinking of her eldest sister's thousands of instructions not to have too much contact with the educated youth, and not to have any thoughts about them, because everything might not come to fruition, so the girl was entangled in her heart, and she wanted to hide...

Chu Tian put his son in Chu Lifang's arms, crossed his waist with one hand, and rubbed his temples with a headache with the other, "Hey, then, then she should go back..."

Now although he doesn't know if Li Jianmin has an idea, but Yao Xiuli already has an idea, then he doesn't dare to let Yao Xiuli continue to stay, at least before moving to a new house...

"But, little tenth brother, don't you have to go to the field to water every

day recently?" Chu Lifang said in her heart that Chu Tian has been so busy recently

, going to work during the day every day, and going to the homestead to build a house when it is not dark at night, and only built the wall today, can you have time to send it? Chu Tian said indifferently, "It's not spring ploughing, although I ask to water, but I don't ask to go 100%? I take a day off, ride early to send Xiuli back, and I can still come back on the same day!" I don't delay the next day's work..."

Before dawn the next day, Chu Tian took Yao Xiuli to the direction of the Changsheng Corps, along the way Chu Tian did not ask Yao Xiuli about the male educated youth, Yao Xiuli was also silent all the way, the two arrived at the gate of Yao's house before twelve o'clock, Chu Tian got off the bicycle, moved his lower limbs, and stretched a big lazy waist.

"Oh, emotional cycling is faster than taking the shuttle, what kind of shuttle bus will you take in the future?"

Yao Xiuli, "But if you ride a bicycle, the eldest brother-in-law is tired!"

Chu Tian hooked his lips, "That's more comfortable than the bumps in the shuttle, right?"

Yao Xiuli just pursed her lips and smiled when she heard this, and then stepped forward and pushed open the door, seeing that the main house in the courtyard was locked, she went straight into the kitchen, took out a key from the kitchen and opened the door," Brother-in-law, you take a break, I'll go to the field to find my father..."

Chu Tian waved his hand, "Don't look for it, it's also past twelve o'clock, and it is estimated that it won't be long before Dad and Mother will get off work at noon."

Yao Xiuli thought about it, so she nodded, "Then I'll go cook, so that when the meal is done, my father and mother will come back."

Chutian parked his bicycle by the wall, "Okay, I'll cook the pot for you."

Yao's father and Yao's mother saw their chimney smoking from a distance, and the two looked at each other and hurriedly ran home.

"Dad, mother, you're back..."

Father Yao let out an "ah", and saw Chu Tian also come out of the kitchen with a plate of dishes.

"Chu Tian?" Chu Tian

looked at Yao's father, Yao's mother smiled, "Daddy, you're off work."

Father Yao nodded and asked, "Well, Chu Tian, did you send

Xiuli back?" Chu Tian bowed, "Well, Xiuli said that she was homesick, and I sent her back this morning."

Hearing this, Yao's mother said, "I should have come back a long time ago, and Xiuli should have come back with me last time I went."

Yao Xiuli smiled embarrassedly, "The eldest sister's family is more fun than ours!"

Chu Tian only smiled when he heard this, and did not continue to say anything.

The four of them ate, Yao's father and Yao's mother couldn't sit still after a morning of work, so they went back to the back room to take a nap, Yao Xiuli began to clean up the house, Chutian couldn't sleep, it was not good to go back directly, standing in the courtyard and seeing a lot of firewood piled up at the firewood pile, he found the axe and went to chop firewood.

After Yao Xiuli finished cleaning up the kitchen, she saw Chu Tian chopping wood on the side, and hurriedly stepped forward, "Big brother-in-law, you have been riding a bicycle for several hours, why don't you take a break for a while?"

Chu Tian stopped his movements, wiped the sweat on his forehead and shook his head, "No..."
