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

Chapter 423 I'm not afraid that the others will have objections.
When Liu's father heard this, he did not suspect anything: "Your Uncle Liangzi contacted his brother-in-law in the commune and asked him to help find someone to save some meat for us. His family member Cunyi will go and pick it up first thing tomorrow morning."

Chu Xue was surprised that Uncle Liangzi had this connection: "How much can you leave for me?"

Thinking of what Liangzi had told him that afternoon, Liu Shanliang laughed and said, "He said he could at least leave three catties for us, and if there's any left over, he'll add some more. Anyway, with your fish, it'll be enough to prepare two tables of food."

As the two walked back, talking, they reached the bottom of the slope and heard Liu's mother's voice from above: "Why are you back so late?"

He then quickly came down to meet them.

He took the things from Chu Xue's hands: "What are all these?"

Chu Xue reached out and took another bag back into her hands, while linking her other arm with Liu's mother: "I was worried that there would be a lot of people tomorrow and that you might not be well prepared, so I asked someone to buy some roasted peanuts, melon seeds, and candy. Even if we don't use them, they won't spoil by the New Year."

This time, Liu's mother didn't complain about her spending money recklessly: "You're very thoughtful."

As soon as they entered the courtyard, Chunxiao came out of the house and said, "Second sister, you're back."

Chu Xue saw her come out of the house: "Hmm, what were you busy with inside?"

Chunxiao was a little embarrassed: "School starts in a few days, and I'm catching up on my homework."

Seeing her guilty look, Chu Xue didn't say anything to her. After all, they had all been through this together, so she probably understood: "You know what you're doing."

Liu's mother didn't care about anything else: "I'll go heat up your food."

Chu Xue was actually quite hungry: "What did you guys eat tonight?"

As Liu's mother walked towards the kitchen, she said, "I made braised noodles and porridge because I was thinking you might come back today, so it will be convenient for you to eat when you get back."

When Chu Xue heard it was braised noodles, she said, "Mom, there's no need to heat it up. It's so hot, it'll be fine if it gets cold."

Liu's mother thought about it and agreed: "Then I'll heat up the porridge for you. Wash your hands first, and I'll serve you a bowl of braised noodles." Chunxiao quickly brought over the chili peppers that Liu's mother had fried herself: "Second sister, chili peppers, Mom just fried them."

While Liu's mother was heating porridge on the stove, she stood at the kitchen doorway and asked, "Xue, I wonder how many people will be coming tomorrow. Is two tables enough?"

Chu Xue nodded and said, "My dad said Uncle Liangzi helped get some meat, and I also brought back a few big fish. If you're worried, we can prepare three tables of food."

Mother Liu nodded and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Her daughter was already considered to be marrying above her station, and she didn't want to hold her daughter back any further.

Chu Xue had no idea that she would think that way; she was only thinking about preparing more in case of emergencies.

Because there were things to do tomorrow, after Chu Xue finished eating, Liu's mother urged, "We have to get up early tomorrow, so go to bed early tonight."

Meanwhile, at the Fu family home, Madam Fu was checking the things to bring for tomorrow one last time: "Qiusheng, isn't it a bit too high-profile to send three cars tomorrow?"

"It was agreed upon a long time ago, what's the point of you worrying about it now?"

"I'm just worried that the other people might have something to say about it."

"It's all in line with their own arrangements. We're just going through the motions. If they have any complaints, they're just making things difficult for themselves."

"By the way, did you call Yanwei and Yanwan?"

"I called the second brother twice but no one answered. I told Xiaowan to go to Huagu Village when she has time and tell them."

"I'm afraid that the second son's wife will see what the fourth son prepared and cause trouble again."

"But they're already there, not too far away. Besides, Xiao Wan has already notified them. If we don't inform the second son and his wife, there might be some trouble later."
