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

Chapter 324 A First Visit to Express Kindness

Under the persistent urging of her mother, Chu Xue finally got out of bed.

After washing up and getting ready, Liu's mother had already served breakfast: "Eat quickly, so we can leave soon."

Chu Xue took out a vegetable pancake made from two kinds of flour and said, "The Qiu family is having a happy occasion today. If you go early, you'll have to exchange pleasantries with everyone. Why are you being so eager?"

Chunxiao was clever for once: "It's Mom's first time going to my eldest sister's house, of course she's anxious."

Liu's mother rolled her eyes at her youngest daughter: "If you don't speak, no one will think you're mute."

Soon, the family got ready and left.

If it were just Chuxue alone, she could cross the mountain in half an hour. Liu's father and mother were fine, but Chunxiao didn't have that much stamina. When they were almost halfway up the mountain, she said, "I can't walk anymore. Let's take a break."

Chu Xue turned around and glanced at her: "Walk for another ten minutes, then rest when you cross the mountain. There are places to sit over there. Don't forget you're wearing new clothes today."

In order not to get her new clothes dirty, Chunxiao resigned herself to her fate and followed Chuxue to the place she had mentioned.

Looking down at the North Suburb Farm, Liu's mother said, "Since the North Suburb Farm was built, the lives of the people in Guangming Village and Qianjin Village have improved a lot. Before, these two villages were not as wealthy as our Liu Village. They were all mud-brick houses. Now, the changes are really great."

Chunxiao pointed to the question below: "Second sister, which area does eldest sister live in?"

Chu Xue pointed in a direction: "It's over there. There's a locust tree not far from her house, but I'm afraid you can't see it clearly with your eyesight."

After resting for a while, Liu's mother urged, "Are you rested enough?"

Father Liu took the lead in responding, stood up and walked down the mountain.

When they arrived, the Qiu family courtyard was already bustling with activity: "Oh dear, Shaofeng's mother, come out quickly, your in-laws have arrived."

Upon hearing this, Mr. and Mrs. Qiu quickly came out to greet them: "In-laws, you've arrived! Please come in."

Mr. and Mrs. Liu smiled and replied, "Congratulations, in-laws!"

"Thank you, thank you, please come inside. Xia Qiu has been waiting for you." Hearing the noise, Xia Qiu came out of the house: "Mom and Dad, Chu Xue, Chun Xiao, you're here. Please come inside."

Walking behind, Mr. Qiu said gratefully to Mr. Liu, "My dear in-laws, thank you so much for sending the fish over with Chu Xue yesterday."

When Chu Xue returned home, she told Liu's parents about sending fish, and also explained the reason for sending fish.

Hearing his in-laws mention sending fish, he didn't want to take credit: "It's just that Chuxue was lucky. The quantity and size were just right, so I thought I'd send some over to you. It'll be a good addition to your meal."

The group entered the house chatting and laughing. After exchanging pleasantries, Mr. Liu said, "My dear in-laws, there must be a lot to do today. You can go ahead and do your work. You don't need to stay with us."

Mr. Qiu replied, "Alright, we'll go greet the guests first, you two have a good chat with Xia Qiu."

As soon as they left, Liu's mother took out a bag of pastries: "Xiaqiu, which room does the old lady live in? Let's go and say hello."

Xia Qiu pointed out from the window: "The east room of the main house."

Taking advantage of the fact that there weren't too many people yet, Xia Qiu led them to Grandma Qiu's house: "Grandma, my parents have come to see you."

Grandma Qiu was chatting with several elderly women in the house when she heard this. She quickly got up and invited Mr. and Mrs. Liu to come in and sit down.

Mr. and Mrs. Liu greeted the elderly ladies in the house and placed the pastries they had brought on the table.

When Grandma Qiu saw the pastries, she exclaimed, "Oh dear, you've come all this way, why did you bring gifts?"

That's what she said, but the smile on her face never left.

Mother Liu smiled and said, "Xia Qiu has received a lot of care from you. This is our first time visiting, so please accept our gratitude."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, they returned to Xia Qiu's room.
