1970s: A hot-tempered wife who accompanied a soldier to the military compound and made a fortune.

Chapter 144 What a coincidence!

Chu Xue replied directly, "I'll be back soon. Come over after you've unloaded the goods, and we'll talk then."

Fu Yancheng was now in a good mood: "Okay, it will be fine soon."

Watching Fu Yancheng turn around and get into the car with a smile on his lips, I always felt that there was something strange about this person.

Seeing the car drive away, Chu Xue turned and walked towards the aunt's house: "Auntie, I'm here?"

"First Snow, come in quickly."

Seeing the woman bent over, busy in the field, he asked, "Auntie, what are you busy with?"

The woman straightened up and smiled, pointing with her muddy fingers to the basket outside the fence: "I just asked for a few extra strawberry seedlings, thinking I'd grow a few myself so my little gluttons at home could have something special to eat."

Chu Xue approached the basket, which contained about seven or eight grains: "Auntie, thank you so much, how about we exchange these?"

The woman smiled and waved her hand, saying, "There aren't many in total. You can just take them and plant them. There's no need to exchange them. I only said that in front of so many people because I was afraid they would all ask me for them."

"That won't do. These strawberry seedlings are already rare enough; how could I possibly take them for free?"

She thought for a moment, and realized that the only thing she could offer was a fish: "Auntie, I'll catch a fish and bring it to you later. You can't refuse, otherwise I'll be too embarrassed to ask you for help in the future."

"Okay, okay, okay, then I'm in for a great deal."

Chu Xue made up her mind that she would send two fish over later, one to her aunt's family and the other for her to give to her parents' family as a way of repaying a favor.

After leaving her aunt's house, she immediately took two strawberry seedlings into her space. She planned to plant the rest in her newly allocated plot of land later, which would also help conceal the strawberries produced in her space.

As soon as she arrived at the new house, Liu's mother pulled her aside: "What's going on? Why is Comrade Fu here again?"

Chu Xue glanced around and said, "He received some river sand as a way of repaying a favor, and since we could use it, he sent it over."

Liu's mother didn't understand: "River sand to repay a favor?"

Seeing Liu's mother's expression, Chu Xue simply repeated what Fu Yancheng had said earlier: "That's how it is." Liu's mother looked completely bewildered: "What a coincidence?"

Chu Xue shrugged: "Anyway, that's what he said. Since it's already been delivered, it's not good to let them take it back."

Liu's mother looked up at the sky and said, "It's getting late. I'm going home to cook. Why don't you invite Comrade Fu to have a meal with us before you leave?"

After saying that, she quickly walked back.

Chu Xue watched as Liu's mother left in a hurry, thinking: He said he still had to train the dog, so there's no need to stay for lunch, he's definitely going to have lunch anyway.

She had just planted the strawberry seedlings when she heard the sound of a car.

Fu Yancheng stopped the car and strode towards the private plot: "Chuxue, where are you going to unload the rest of the sand? Have you decided?"

Chu Xue stared blankly at him: "Why are you still here?"

Before she could ask the question, Fu Yancheng said, "We've exchanged so many things, we're practically acquaintances now. Calling you Comrade Liu feels too formal. Can I call you Chuxue instead?"

Chu Xue was about to roll her eyes at him, thinking, "You've already called me that, what's the point of asking me again?" when she said, "Okay."

Fu Yancheng knew when to stop and didn't dare say anything more, afraid that he was being too hasty and would scare the little girl.

Chu Xue then walked forward and said, "Uncle Liangzi, Comrade Fu said there's still some sand on the truck. Where do you think would be a good place to unload it?"

Liangzi looked around and said, "I'll have someone clear that area so he can unload it there later. It'll be convenient for use in the yard or for future slope reinforcement. Plus, it's a shallow pit there, so there won't be any damage if it rains."

"Okay, then let's unload it there."

After saying that, he pointed to that spot and gestured for Fu Yancheng to drive the car there.
