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

Chapter 345: Coming to the door for help
After taking a deep breath, Chen Weiping said, "Okay, I'll write it."

There's no other way. If they want to keep their jobs, they have to bow their heads. It's their fault for doing something wrong and letting others take advantage of them.

Chen Weidong started writing right in front of them.

Having achieved their goal, Ding Youwen and his daughter made no intention of staying any longer: "We'll come back to collect the money in five days."

After saying that, he got up and walked out first.

After entering the house, Hu Jiaxiang, who hadn't spoken a word, hurriedly said goodbye to the Chen family and then chased after them with his wife, Wang Limei: "Brother-in-law, Su Rong, it's getting late, why don't we find a place to eat first?"

Ding Youwen didn't refuse. It was indeed getting late, so he might as well have lunch early to avoid going back to the city hungry. Since someone was so eager to treat him, he wouldn't stand on ceremony.

After finding the nearest state-run restaurant and ordering, I heard Hu Jiaxiang rambling on and on.

Ding Youwen let it go in one ear and out the other, not taking his words to heart at all. Anyway, his cousin was gone, so the marriage was practically over.

On the other side, Chu Xue had just entered the house and was about to go to her private plot to pick vegetables when she heard a hoarse voice at the gate: "Is anyone home?"

Chu Xue came out carrying a basket and saw a man standing at the gate: "Who are you?"

The man looked uneasy: "Miss, I am... I am a resident of the cowshed over there."

Upon hearing this, Chu Xue immediately understood: "Is something the matter?"

The man looked nervous and stammered, "Miss, my grandson has a fever. We've tried everything, but he's still burning up. I wanted to ask if you have any fever reducers at home?"

As someone from a later generation, she felt some sympathy for those living in cowsheds, after all, not all those living in cowsheds were bad people: "Please wait a moment."

When her father was hospitalized at the commune health center, the doctor was worried that Liu's father would develop a high fever due to his injuries, so he prescribed some Analgin. She saw it when she came back.

After searching through Mr. and Mrs. Liu's room for a while, they finally found the paper packet in a drawer under the cabinet. They rushed out and said, "This is all we have at home. If the child wants to take it, give him half a tablet at a time. Don't give him too much. Although this stuff can reduce fever, it also has side effects. Please be careful." The man took the paper packet and bowed deeply to Chuxue, saying, "Miss, I am deeply grateful. If I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely thank you even more."

After saying that, he turned and ran away.

Chu Xue sighed inwardly, picked up her basket and walked towards her private plot, but something was still on her mind.

She had just finished washing the vegetables when Chunxiao, who was gathering pig feed, entered the yard: "Second sister, I'm back."

Chu Xue glanced outside and said, "Wash your hands first, then come help with the fire."

She still can't master this earthen stove. Everything else is manageable, but lighting the fire is a real headache for her.

After Chunxiao responded, she went to scoop water from the urn placed in the courtyard.

After Chunxiao washed up and went into the kitchen, Chuxue had already prepared the dishes.

Chunxiao helped start the fire, which made cooking much faster.

When Liu's parents returned, the first snow whistle had already been stir-fried, and the dough had been rolled out and was being cut into strips.

Then Liu's mother asked, "What did the Party Secretary say? Are they going to organize the commune members to smoke badgers tonight?"

While washing his hands, Liu's father said, "It's not decided yet, but we should go. The land further in has been dug up by badgers, and if we don't take care of it, that land will be ruined."

Chu Xue poked her head out and saw that both of them had worried expressions on their faces.
