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

Chapter 255 Thanks
Chu Xue smiled and took out a dozen wild eggs from below: "They'll go perfectly with these wild eggs."

Mother Liu thought her second daughter was incredibly lucky, and beamed with joy, saying, "With all these wild eggs, it would be hard for the filling of these buns not to taste good."

Liu's mother looked at the basket and saw that there were many small fish: "Why did you bring back so many small fish?"

At this moment, Liu's father brought out a basin: "Do you want to make mixed fish soup?"

Chu Xue waved her hand and said, "No, I just wanted to try making some snacks for my sister. She's pregnant and needs nutrition."

Upon hearing his daughter's words, Mr. Liu was taken aback: "Then tell me how to handle it, and I'll take care of it."

First Snow didn't refuse: "Okay."

After picking up the small fish and putting them in the basin, the remaining fish were the ones to be given as a thank-you gift: "Dad, let's take the things over before everyone gets off work. There should be someone at home."

Mr. Liu nodded: "Okay, I'll do as you say."

They arrived at the village chief's house first, just as his family had come to visit. His wife, Liu Yingchun, was chatting with people in the yard. When she saw Chuxue and the others come in, she asked, "What brings you two, father and daughter, here?"

Mr. Liu replied with a smile, "So many things happened at home before, and we are so grateful for the village chief's help. Now that the house is finished, we have some free time and thought we should come and express our gratitude."

As she spoke, she took a fish out of the basket Chu Xue was carrying: "This is what Chu Xue caught this morning. Don't be disgusted by it. I'll add it to your lunch."

The village chief married into the family; his wife, Liu Yingchun, was their only daughter. Their eldest son was a daughter named Liu Tingting, and their second son was a son named Liu Yongfu. Later, when their youngest son was born, Liu Yingchun arranged for him to take the surname Deng and be named Deng Yongsheng.

Although Deng Huaiming was a son-in-law who moved into the family through a marriage arrangement, he was capable. Although he did become a son-in-law because his family had many children, his marriage to Liu Yingchun was not an arranged one. The two had feelings for each other before.

Liu Yingchun was a straightforward person: "Oh, isn't that what he should do? You're being too polite."

Chu Xue smiled and said, "Aunt Yingchun, this is just a small token of our appreciation. Please accept it." Seeing the sincerity of the father and daughter, Liu Yingchun did not refuse any further, saying, "It just so happens that some relatives have come to visit. They are in for a treat."

After leaving the village chief's house, I went to the Party Secretary's house.

Just then, I ran into the Party Secretary returning at the gate: "Secretary Grandpa."

The village secretary looked at the father and daughter and asked, "Why are you here at this time?"

Mr. Liu picked out the biggest one: "I've caused you a lot of worry these past few days. This morning, Chuxue went out and caught a few fish, and brought one over to you. I'll have your aunt add a dish for you at noon."

Seeing their approach, the Party Secretary knew they were going to visit other families. He had indeed been making many trips because of Lao Wu's family lately. Regardless, this was a filial gesture from the child: "Alright, I'll take the fish. Live your own lives well from now on. But wait a minute, we have some gourds planted at home. They're bearing a lot of fruit this year. I'll go pick a few for you. They're delicious stir-fried with noodles while they're still tender."

The father and daughter did not refuse. Chu Xue even replied with a smile, "I've been wanting to eat stir-fried gourd slices for a long time. Now it's finally here."

Upon hearing this, the Party Secretary smiled broadly and said, "Wait here, I'll go pick some for you."

As soon as he entered the courtyard, he shouted, "Old woman, bring me a wicker basket."

A voice came from the kitchen: "What do you need the basket for?"

Looking at the head sticking out of the kitchen, he said, "It's because Shanliang and the others brought over a fish. I picked some gourds for them to take home and stir-fry."

The Party Secretary's wife quickly took out a large basket, handed it to her husband, waved to Chuxue and her father, and said with a smile to her husband, "Pick more for them, gourd slices are the best for stir-fried noodles."
