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

Chapter 431 Engagement Part 2

Just as Liu's father agreed, Xia Qiu said, "Shaofeng, isn't that Yanwan walking ahead?"

Qiu Shaofeng looked in the direction his wife was pointing and said, "It really is. I guess she's heading to our house."

As the car approached, Xia Qiu spoke up: "Xiao Wan, get in the car."

"Oh, Sister Xia Qiu, I was just about to come over to find you."

Xia Qiu quickly introduced her, "Xiao Wan, this is my father."

Yanwan had met Xia Qiu's father-in-law before, so upon hearing this introduction, she knew that the person driving the carriage was her future fourth sister-in-law's father: "Hello, Uncle, I am Fu Yancheng's younger sister, Yanwan."

Mr. Liu quickly replied, "Yes, yes, okay."

Xia Qiu patted the spot next to her: "Xiao Wan, hurry up, get in the car."

The mule cart was quite spacious, and Yanwan didn't hesitate and got on the cart without any hesitation.

As Liu's father watched her get into the car, he said, "Sit tight, we're leaving now."

Along the way, Yanwan and Xiaqiu chatted enthusiastically, almost revealing everything about their fourth brother.

Laughter could be heard from the mule cart from time to time.

As she passed by Huagu Village, Yanwan glanced inside and thought to herself: I wonder what my second brother and sister-in-law have gone to do on leave. They probably didn't go home, otherwise their father wouldn't have said those things on the phone and asked her to go to Huagu Village to relay the message. But this is good, so that my sister-in-law won't be able to control her mouth and say something she shouldn't and ruin the occasion.

Although the mule cart took a longer route, the road was relatively smooth, and the mules walked relatively fast. They arrived home a little after nine o'clock.

As soon as Xia Qiu entered the courtyard, she said, "I could smell the aroma of this stewed chicken from far away. It smells so good."

Hearing the noise, Chu Xue came out with a spatula in hand: "It'll be ready in a bit, let me serve you a bowl to try it out."

After speaking, she saw the girl standing next to Xia Qiu: "Are you Yan Cheng's little sister?" Fu Yanwan nodded with a smile: "Yes, I am Fu Yanwan, hello Chu Xue."

She did want to call her Fourth Sister-in-law, but since it wasn't decided yet, she called her Sister instead.

Chu Xue handed the spoon in her hand to Chun Xiao and shouted towards the kitchen, "Mom, Dad brought my sister, brother-in-law, and Yan Cheng's little sister back home."

Liu's mother put down her work and quickly came out: "Oh my, this girl is really pretty."

He pointed to the main room and said, "Come on, come in and sit down."

In the kitchen, the main dishes were already in the pot, the cold dishes were all mixed, and all the other dishes were ready to be cooked.

After the first snowfall, she led people into the main room for a brief greeting and then quickly went back inside to tidy herself up.

As soon as she stepped out of the room, she heard Chunxiao call out at her door, "Second sister, Father asked me to tell you that the Fu family has arrived."

She opened the door and followed Liu's mother, who came out of the main room, towards the courtyard.

This was quite a sight. Looking down the slope, one could see a jeep, a sedan, and a double-cab van parked, surrounded by a crowd of onlookers.

Mr. Liu had already called on quite a few people to help unload things from the truck.

Everyone was incredibly envious when they saw the brand-new bicycle, the unopened sewing machine, and the latest model radio.

Someone whispered, "It's still one turn away."

Fu Yancheng overheard this and pulled a watch box from his pocket, saying with a smile, "The missing one is with me."

"Wow, they actually got everything."

"Chu Xue is such a lucky girl. Not only did she marry a military officer with four pockets, but he's also from the city. Her in-laws not only provided her with the 'three turns and one sound' (referring to a set of three rings and a radio), but also had so many people come to the engagement ceremony. It seems that her in-laws are very satisfied with her."
