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

Chapter 394 Such a good win-win-win opportunity is gone
When Mrs. Fu arrived at the compound, Mr. Fu was tending to his flowers and plants in the yard: "Dad, is your cough any better?"

Grandpa Fu pointed to the stool next to him, gesturing for him to sit down: "Much better, how did things go?"

Mother Fu laughed: "Although our family is from the countryside, our daughter is straightforward, and her parents are reasonable people. Most importantly, our son Yancheng likes her."

The old man put down the watering can he was holding: "Has the engagement date been set yet?"

He coughed as soon as he finished asking the question.

Fu's mother quickly got up and hurriedly patted his back, but the old man stopped her, saying, "It's alright, no need to pat him."

Fortunately, he only coughed a few times and then stopped.

Madam Fu brought the fruits and vegetables to the table, took out a tomato, and washed it under the tap: "This was brought back from the Liu family. It tastes really good. Please try it."

But she regretted it as soon as she handed it over, after all, her father-in-law had just been coughing.

Just as I was about to take it back, the old man had already taken it and put it to his mouth, taking a bite.

I had no choice but to get up and go back inside to pour myself a glass of hot water.

When she came out, the old man looked up and said, "These tomatoes taste really good. My throat feels much better now."

Fu's mother was somewhat skeptical: "What you're saying is too exaggerated."

However, she didn't contradict the old man: "I brought quite a lot with me. If that's the case, then I'll leave all of these to you."

The old man laughed and said, "How can I enjoy such good things all by myself? I'll save the rest for them so that everyone can have a taste."

After a few bites of a tomato, the old man looked like he wanted more.

Mrs. Fu was about to get another one when the old man stopped her. "No need." After saying that, he picked up the water that Mrs. Fu had poured for him and drank it. "So, how's the engagement arranged?"

When they got back, they called the old man: "On the day of the marriage proposal, Yancheng explained your situation to Chuxue and said that you would definitely be there when the engagement was held. I was thinking that if my elder brother and sister-in-law had time, it would be best if they could come along too."

"Okay, I'll talk to them about it."

As they were cooking, Aunt Fu walked in from outside: "Oh, sister-in-law, you've come?"

"Sister-in-law, I've come to tell you about Yancheng's engagement."

As soon as Aunt Fu approached, she saw the things on the table: "Where did these come from?"

Just after asking the question, she seemed to remember something and pointed at the items: "You didn't bring these back from the countryside, did you?"

Fu's mother didn't feel embarrassed at all: "Yes, it was brought back from Yancheng's boyfriend's family, and it tastes very good."

Aunt Fu burst out laughing: "You really are something else. Oh well, as long as you like it."

The old man shot her a sharp look, and Aunt Fu immediately changed her tune: "Anyway, life goes on. As long as he's happy, that's fine. It would be best if he could have a job so that she can transfer her household registration to the city. Having a quota would save a lot of trouble."

Madam Fu didn't think there was anything wrong with what she said: "Then sister-in-law, please keep an eye out for suitable jobs, and remember to let me know if you find any."

Aunt Fu fell silent. If a suitable job came up, she would definitely bring her daughter back first.

She couldn't help but think of Madam Qi's previous suggestion and sighed inwardly. It wasn't that she was selling her nephew, but Madam Qi's words implied that if Fu Yancheng and her youngest daughter got together, she would definitely transfer her own Yanjing back from the farm, thus losing such a good win-win-win opportunity.
