After quitting 996, I became the master of the deserted planet

Early the next morning, Chu Jiao accompanied her mother to buy groceries. Every time they went to the countryside, Chu's mother was responsible for buying groceries, and her aunts were responsible for cooking.

On the way to the market, people would greet and chat with my mother from time to time, and Chu Jiao would follow behind and greet them with a smile. No matter if they were right or wrong, she would always call them uncle or aunt.

Chu Jiao really admires her mother for knowing acquaintances wherever she goes. She doesn't know how she can remember so many faces and call out their names. She is really a social genius.

After buying vegetables, they bought some fruits and snacks. Dad Chu's supermarket was closed today, so he waited for Chu Jiao and the others to finish shopping and drove directly to the vegetable market to pick them up and take them to the countryside.

The Chu family's house in the countryside is a three-story building they built themselves. Grandpa and grandma live on the first floor, and Chu Jiao's family of three used to live on the second floor. The third floor is used for sundries. A small house of about 30 square meters was built against the wall on the left side of the building for kitchen use. There is a small door connecting to the living room. There are elderly people in the family who use floor tiles for fear of slipping. The ground is paved with cement, and the yard at the door is also paved with cement, so it is cleaner on rainy days.

The house was built at the first house at the entrance of the village. There were only dozens of households in the whole village, and they were all related. It was said that several brothers of my grandfather's grandfather's generation settled here. Gradually, these dozens of families developed over several generations. By the time of Grandpa Chu's generation, there were five brothers in total, and their houses were built together. Half of the village at the entrance were cousins ​​of Chu's father, who were considered close relatives and neighbors. If there was anything, they would come out to help as long as they were shouted at the door. The relatives at the end of the village had to be traced back several generations, and Chu Jiao couldn't figure out the specific relationship.

Grandma Chu gave birth to four daughters and one son, three of whom survived. Dad Chu is the youngest, and he has two older sisters. The eldest sister Chu has a son who is already married, and the grandson is twelve years old and the granddaughter is six years old. The second sister Chu has a son and a daughter, who are also married. The eldest daughter gave birth to a son and a daughter. The eldest is an eleven-year-old daughter and the son is seven years old this year. The youngest son has a son who is nine years old this year. Chu Jiao is the only single person left.

Grandpa and grandma were very surprised to see Chu Jiao, "Jiao Jiao, when did you come home? You plan to rest at home for a few days this time."

"Grandpa and grandma, I have already resigned from my job. I will not go to H City anymore. I will look for a job near home. If I can't find one, I will go back to the countryside and farm with grandpa." Chu Jiao joked with her grandfather.

Grandpa Chu is almost 80 years old this year and is still in good health. He really loves farming. He joined the army when he was young and has several military medals hidden in his home.

Because he didn't like sitting in an office, he refused the job arranged by the army after retiring and went straight home to farm. Now everyone's land in the countryside is contracted to large-scale farmers for large-scale planting. Chu's father felt that his grandfather was too old to farm so much land, so he contracted out the land at home. His grandfather then set up a small vegetable garden at the doorstep to grow vegetables to satisfy his own pleasure. He felt uncomfortable if he didn't take a hoe and dig a few times every day.

"You are still farming, but you don't know the difference between different crops. If we rely on you for food, our whole family will starve to death," said Chu's mother with a smile.

"Okay, grandpa will teach you. Then you can let your mother see how powerful our Jiaojiao is." Grandpa looked at Chu Jiao with a smile. When he got older, he liked to have younger people around him to make it lively.

"Our Jiaojiao is so smart that she will definitely learn farming right away." Grandma Chu has a very thick filter for her granddaughter. Her granddaughter has been a good student since she was a child. She thinks that since she can learn so well in such difficult studies, farming does not require much brainpower, so she will definitely be able to learn it.

The eldest and second aunts were busy in the kitchen. When they heard this, they smiled and said, "When the food is ready, I'll send some to every household. I'm waiting for it."

Chu Jiao was embarrassed. How could she respond to this? Smile...

Chu Jiao accompanied her grandparents in the living room, enjoying the air conditioning. The kitchen was bustling with activity. Her eldest and second aunts were cooking while asking Chu's mother, "Why did you suddenly quit your job and come home? Were you bullied?"

"She wasn't bullied. She was just too busy at work and couldn't stand working overtime every day, so I asked her to go home and find an easier job. She was a young girl who rented a house outside and had to work overtime until late every day. I was worried about her going home, so I asked her to resign a long time ago. I guess it was really hard for her. She cried when she saw me on video a few days ago. She went to complete the resignation procedures early the next morning, and her father went to the high-speed rail station to pick her up the night before yesterday." Mother Chu felt distressed just thinking about it.

"You look a lot thinner than you did during the Chinese New Year. Big cities are stressful. With Jiaojiao's high education, it's easy for her to find a job at home. The salary can be low, but you only have one daughter, so it's better to have her by your side. When you get married, find someone you know well at home. If you work outside and marry someone far away, it will be inconvenient to see each other."

Aunt Chu agreed with Aunt Chu's words, "Jiaojiao is not young anymore, it's time for her to date. She's been in college for a long time, and most girls around her are mothers. It's just right to date for two years before getting married."

"She said she is still young and doesn't want to date. Nowadays young people don't want to get married. It's so comfortable to live alone. It's too tiring to take care of everything every day after getting married and having children." Chu's mother felt that her daughter was honest and taciturn. If she married a powerful mother-in-law, she would be bullied. Maybe because she watched too many short videos about family ethics, Chu's mother was very open-minded. She decided to let nature take its course. As long as Chu Jiao was willing to be raised at home, it would be fine.

"That's right. In the past, we just had to take care of the food and drink after the child was born. Now, we have to take care of the child's studies and send him to interest classes every day. It's really not easy," Aunt Chu sighed. The three of them chatted while preparing lunch.

It was almost noon when the sons and daughters of my aunt and second aunt came, and they also brought their own children. It was summer vacation now, and the children were on vacation at home. Except for my uncle and second uncle who were working in other places, the rest of the people were all there. A large table full of people had lunch lively.

After dinner, the adults sat together and chatted, and Chu Jiao sat beside them, smiling. Occasionally, she would reply when she was called. A group of children were playing and screaming nearby. Chu Jiao felt that the roof of her house was about to be blown off by the noise. Children are so scary, Chu Jiao thought with lingering fear.

On the way home in the evening, Chu's mother asked her to get up early the next day because she had to go to her grandmother's house to visit her grandmother. "Okay, good night, Mom." Chu Jiao was so sleepy that she was confused when she got home. She answered Chu's mother and went back to her room to take a shower and go to bed.

When Chu Jiao got up in the morning, she felt that she had gone to bed early and gotten up early for the past two days since she returned home. Maybe she had enough sleep and felt energetic. When she went downstairs, her mother was already ready. Her grandmother and uncle lived in the city, which was relatively close. After buying things, Chu's mother and Chu Jiao took a taxi directly there. At noon, Chu's father went there to have lunch and then picked them up.

Chu Jiao's grandmother is a very kind old lady. She is chubby, short and has very fair skin. Chu Jiao and her mother both inherited her fair skin.

Every time her grandmother saw her, she would smile with her eyes narrowed. Her grandmother's family originally lived in the countryside, in the same village as the Chu family. Her grandfather's surname was Wang, and he was one of the only two people with a surname other than Wang in the village. Chu's father and mother were childhood sweethearts. When Chu Jiao was a child, she loved staying at her grandmother's house the most. Her grandmother would cook all kinds of delicious food for her. Although her uncle and aunt had no daughters, they still spoiled her like their own daughter.

Grandma gave birth to two sons and two daughters. Chu's mother was the second child, with an older brother, a younger brother and a younger sister. Grandpa died of a malignant tumor when Chu Jiao was eight years old. Uncle also died when Chu Jiao was ten years old, leaving behind a son who was the same age as Chu Jiao. Aunt remarried with him. He graduated from university and works in N City. He is unmarried. Chu Jiao's aunt gave birth to two daughters. The eldest daughter is married and the youngest daughter is still in high school.

My grandmother lost her husband in middle age and her son in old age. She cried her eyes out but still managed to get through it. She lives with my uncle. After my uncle got married, he had a son. A few years ago, he was admitted to a high school in the city. My uncle and my aunt discussed and borrowed some foreign debt to buy a house in the city, which is in the same community as Aunt Chu Jiao.

This community was newly developed on the outskirts of the city. The housing prices in Liyang are ridiculously high now. The housing prices in the urban area of ​​a small city are over 10,000 yuan. The price here is relatively cheaper, about 7,000 yuan. At that time, Chu Jiao's uncle and aunt bought a house together. The distance between the front and back buildings is similar, and the layout of the two houses is similar. They are suites of more than 130 square meters, with three bedrooms, two living rooms and two bathrooms.

My aunt-in-law is not in good health and has asthma, so she wants to buy a house closer to her two aunts so that they can take care of each other. They dare not think about Chu Jiao's family because the house prices are too high. It is not easy for ordinary workers to save money by eating frugally. Their son needs money for college, and the financial pressure of borrowing too much foreign debt is too great to bear. After discussing with my aunt's family, they chose this community together.

My uncle lives on the third floor. He is working in another place and is not at home. My cousin is a sophomore this year. He is working in the summer vacation and will not be home for lunch. Only my grandmother and aunt are at home. When I got downstairs, my aunt was looking at them and smiling at them from the window. When I entered the door, my grandmother came over and hugged Chu Jiao.

"Didn't I tell you not to bring anything? You can't finish all the food, so why are you carrying so much stuff? How did Jiaojiao become so thin? Don't you get any food at work?"

"Grandma, I've worked so hard. You have to make more delicious food for me so I can nourish myself." Chu Jiao hugged her grandma and acted coquettishly.

"Look at the food on the table and see if it's enough. If not, I'll buy more. I'll make sure you're full before you leave today," my aunt laughed beside me.

"Don't listen to her. You have a big mouth and a small throat. You'll say you can't eat anymore after just a few bites." Mother Chu rolled her eyes.

"Hehehe, if you can't finish it, pack it up and take it away." Grandma looked at Chu Jiao happily.

Chu's mother wanted to go to the kitchen to help but her aunt stopped her, saying, "It's almost done. Just stir-fry some vegetables when everyone arrives."

After that, there was a knock on the door. It was my aunt's family except my uncle-in-law. My uncle-in-law was also working outside. Most of the young and middle-aged people in Liyang City work outside and usually can't go home until the Chinese New Year.

Everyone chatted while waiting for Chu's father, and discussed Chu Jiao's affairs for a long time. Chu Jiao was awkward throughout the conversation. After Chu's father arrived, my aunt quickly fried some vegetables and started eating. After the meal, everyone went home. Grandma and the others still wanted to take a nap.

Having seen everyone she needed to see, Chu Jiao started her temporary life of staying at home, watching videos and variety shows every day. She was so happy!!!
