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

Chapter 247 Touched
We had originally planned for eight tables, but two more tables ended up being booked.

Fortunately, when Chuxue realized something was wrong, she quickly informed Aunt Wu, who was preparing the meal, and asked her to replace the vegetables with another one, which she then added to the meal.

Although there were more vegetables than meat in the end, the meal was still quite good by today's standards.

In those days of scarcity, even bulk sorghum liquor was almost gone.

The tables, chairs, benches, pots, pans, and other household items that were borrowed were returned to each family with a thank-you gift.

The thank-you gift is very simple: steamed buns made from three different types of flour, plus a bowl of leftover vegetables for each person.

I was busy until 10 p.m., and finally I finished seeing everyone off and getting everything packed up.

Fu Yancheng helped tidy up until he was ready to leave: "Chu Xue, I have to participate in morning training tomorrow morning, and I have to go back to the army tonight. I'll discuss it with my family when I get back and decide on a date to come over. I'll have someone send you a message in advance."

Fu Yancheng really helped a lot today. After all, there are many people in the village who can't stand seeing others do well. If it weren't for Fu Yancheng helping to keep things in order, someone might have gone crazy under the influence of alcohol: "Yancheng, thank you for today."

Fu Yancheng's eyes were full of smiles: "From now on, we're family. This is what I should do. Who told me I'm in love with someone else's daughter?"

After saying that, he laughed heartily and said, "Alright, I'm leaving."

After saying goodbye to Liu's parents, Xia Qiuchunxiao, and Qiu Shaofeng, he went down the slope to prepare to drive away.

Chu Xue went back inside, picked up a cloth bag, and followed her down the slope.

As they got off the bus, Mr. Liu said, "Please be careful while driving."

They were very satisfied with Fu Yancheng's performance today.

It was already a case of their daughter marrying above her station, and they never expected the man to be so considerate. Although they were a little worried that their daughter would be looked down upon after marrying him, they didn't intend to break them up. After all, the man had eyes and it was obvious that their daughter was willing, so they decided to let things take their course.

If things really work out, having such a capable son-in-law will bring them pride. From now on, the villagers will think twice before acting, just because of his military uniform. Chu Xue escorted him to the car, then handed him the bag she was carrying: "Take this back and eat it."

Fu Yancheng was so happy, how could he refuse? "It's getting late, you should go back now, I'm leaving."

Seeing him get into the car, I realized that I had been too busy to learn how to drive a Jeep with him today.

Seemingly sensing her thoughts, he said, "I didn't have time this time, but I'll definitely teach you how to drive a Jeep next time I come."

Chu Xue naturally believed him: "I know, be careful on the road."

Fu Yancheng didn't delay any longer, after all, he needed to be back at the unit before midnight.

He glanced at the bag Chu Xue handed him and stepped on the gas.

After watching the car drive away, Chu Xue turned around and went back to her new house.

After everyone entered the courtyard, Qiu Shaofeng said, "We have to go back early tomorrow morning. The farm's fishponds need to be dredged these days, and I signed up beforehand."

Mother Liu naturally wouldn't stop them. After all, without work points, there would be no food. It was already good enough that they came back to help. How could she delay their work any longer? "Alright, I specially saved two catties of pork belly and some mushrooms that were dried before the first snow. I'll stir-fry a jar of meat sauce for you to take with you tomorrow morning. You can also satisfy your cravings in summer and autumn."

Qiu Shaofeng was very grateful to hear this, since his family had not yet separated, and it was impossible for his family to prepare these things separately for Xia Qiu.

At this moment, Chuxue chimed in, "Mom, there are still a few pounds of flour left. Let the dough rise, and tomorrow morning I'll steam some sugar triangles or flower rolls for my sister to take with her. She can have a bite to eat when she's hungry."

This deeply moved Xia Qiu and his wife.
