Raising a family through the 1970s

Chu Jie

sat on the threshold, watched the family members in the courtyard holding things, and asked him if he could bring this or not, and his throat was about to smoke when he answered!

Finally, Chu Ren came out with a bag of stored grain at home and asked, "Chu Jie, our family's grain storage still has more than 300 catties, why don't you bring them all?" Otherwise, let's go now, Xinjiang has not yet had an autumn harvest, and we have no land to borrow grain!" You can't all go to rub the food of the little ten families, right?"

Chu Jie thought that three hundred catties was not much, so he and his eldest brother carried it in one bag each, and nodded, "Well, bring it." In

the evening, Chu Jie sent away the two aunts and the sisters who were married to the old Chu family, until he couldn't see their backs, he turned around and walked towards the courtyard.

Chu Ren stopped Chu Jie, who was going back to the house, "Jie, let's go

to the city tomorrow, are you sure you have a car?" Chu Jie stopped, turned around and walked towards Chu Ren, smiled and said, "Dad, you can rest assured, I have inquired, there is a car every Tuesday and Friday when we come back from Xinjiang, and there is a car every Monday and Thursday from our hometown to Xinjiang, tomorrow Wednesday, we will get to the city and it will be almost dark, stay at the train station for one night, and take the car at six o'clock in the morning on Thursday."

Chu Ren nodded, "Well, that's the ····· that should have been set off a day earlier

." After a pause, he asked, "How many tickets do we need to buy as a family?" Dad went to the brigade a few days ago to convert all the work for half a year this year into money, and now there are only more than 120 yuan in total, plus the family's savings are only more than 200 yuan, is it enough?"

Chu Jie smiled and comforted, "Dad, don't worry, I asked, except for Xinmin and Xinguo, the rest of the children in our family don't need to buy tickets at half price!"

As for the second uncle's family, don't worry, the second uncle's family is richer than ours. "

It's okay if it's not enough, my grandmother gave me money when I came back..."

Chu Ren nodded and paused, "Isn't it only the fifty yuan that your junior tenth brother gave her?"

Chu Jie grinned, "Grandma got it from Chu Wen!" At

that time, the old lady Chu stood, she only left more than three hundred yuan, and the rest was given to Chu Tian, this more than three hundred yuan, the old lady Chu was worried that the old family would not have enough money when he came over, so she gave him another three hundred when he came back.

Chu Ren, "·····

". "Yo, this is the first time Grandma has seen such a heavy rain. Old

Mrs. Chu stood at the door of the house, looking at the pouring rain outside, and couldn't stop sighing.

Chu Tian couldn't help but laugh, "Grandma, in fact, there have been several heavy rains in the past two months, but every time it rains at night and stops in the morning, so you didn't see it..."

Mrs. Chu shook her head again and again, "Anyway, I know why Xinjiang is doing this, even if it rains heavily at night, as soon as the wind blows during the day, it will all be done..."

"That's it, it's strange that there is no shortage of water!".

Chu Tian slowly explained, "Grandma, the groundwater here in Xinjiang is actually quite abundant, and there is also snow water from the Tianshan Mountains, so even if it is dry, there is no shortage of water."

After a pause, he continued, "Of course, cities near the desert are still short of water.

Old Mrs. Chu nodded, moved a bench and sat at the door of the house, took out a piece of pink muslin from the basket and began to sew it.

Chu Tian glanced at it twice and felt familiar, "Grandma, is this the cloth I took back to make clothes for the eldest girl?"

Old Lady Chu replied without raising her head, "Yes." "

“··· But, why is it so small? Such a small girl can't

wear it, right?" Mrs. Chu unfolded the gown she sewed and said, "It wasn't originally made for the big girl, the big girl's face is black and yellow, and it doesn't look good to wear this color, Xinxin's skin is white, and it looks good for Xinxin to wear, so I changed the piece of cloth that I was going to make clothes for Xinxin and hers!"

"······

". Chu Tian stroked his forehead helplessly, and was very helpless about Old Lady Chu's self-assertion.

After thinking about it, he said forget it, anyway, the cloth he brought back to Xinxin was also with broken flowers, so let's change it.

In fact, it's because Xinxin is skinned now, and she likes to climb trees and play in the mud with the two little ones of Chu Min's family, and she is always dirty, so he made some darker colored cloth for Xinxin, and although the big girl has a black and yellow face now, her own skin is not black, and she loves to be clean, so she chose some light-colored cloths for her.

At this time, there was a banging knock outside

the door, "Brother Tian, are you here?" Chu Tian hurriedly shouted, "Here, here, the door is not locked, come in!"

Sun Weiguo pushed open the door and walked in with Sun Jianjun, and the two of them stood under the eaves and took off the raincoats they were wearing and piled them up by the wall before entering the house.

"Grandma Chu, you are good.

"Okay, okay, come in and sit down, grandma will make you sugar water to drink." Mrs

. Chu didn't sew clothes anymore, she was busy carrying the basket and putting it on the table next to her, and she was about to make sugar water for them with a smile.

Sun Weiguo hurriedly stopped, "Grandma Chu, you don't have to be busy, we want to ask Brother

Tian to go to the reservoir below the company to fish together!" Old Lady Chu was stunned, "Is there still a reservoir?"

Sun Weiguo smiled, "Hey, how could it not be? Yes, there are two more!"

Chu Tian asked strangely, "This is going to fish in the heavy rain? Are you kidding me

?". Sun Jianjun hurriedly explained, "Brother Tian, it is because of the heavy rain, so we can go fishing, Lian Li yesterday issued a notice, saying that last year we even put into the reservoir to throw a lot of fish fry this year, our four teams, in the reservoir below, each team can go to fish for two hours, this morning the members of the first and second teams went to fish, the first team does not know how much, but the members of the second team have fished more than 300 catties, it is said that each family has divided a few catties..."

Chu Tian then remembered that there were two reservoirs in the boundary of their seventh company, saying that the reservoir actually didn't use much water from the reservoir, and the company began to put fish fry into it a few years ago, and there were very few fish that began to survive, and they could only catch a few hundred catties every year, but after two years of continuous throwing fish fry into it, the annual harvest is now much better than the first few years...

Old Lady Chu's eyes lit up when she

heard this, "Oh, fish?" Chu Tian blinked and asked with a smile, "Grandma, do you want to eat fish?" Old Lady Chu smiled, "Who doesn't want to eat

?" Sun Weiguo asked with a smile when he heard this, "How about it?" Brother Tian, do you want to go? The people who go to the house will have a pound more fish than the ones who don't..."

"Go. With that

, Chu Tian took an old-fashioned raincoat from behind the door and put it on.

After taking two steps, he didn't forget to look at Mrs. Chu, "Grandma, when Xiujuan comes back, you can help me tell her."

Old Mrs. Chu waved her hand and said with a smile, "I know, I know, you have to pay attention to safety!"
