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

Chapter 87 Discharge
For the next few days, the mother and daughter did not return their room at the guesthouse, and they took turns resting there.

Although Liu's mother still felt a pang of regret about spending money on a guesthouse, feeling that the money could have been saved, she couldn't say anything more because her daughter insisted, since her daughter was only trying to make sure she could get a good rest.

Every day after the first snowfall, I go out for half a day to supply fifty or sixty catties of fish to the hospital cafeteria. Over the past few days, I've become quite familiar with the cafeteria staff.

The family of three has been eating much better meals these past few days.

At first, Liu's parents nagged a bit, but Chu Xue agreed to do the same thing again next time, so they just let her be. Their daughter meant well, and they couldn't be ungrateful and hurt her feelings.

After spending two weeks in the hospital, I was finally able to be discharged.

During this time, Chu Xue got along well with the doctors, nurses, and cafeteria staff on her floor.

This is the last fish delivery today.

Director Zhang said with a regretful look, "Xiao Liu, why don't you stay? Even if you don't get a full-time position, being an unofficial purchasing staff member is not bad. The income is even higher than that of the hospital director. What do you think? Do you want to consider it?"

These past few days, many people have envied Chuxue's earnings. Some even went to the moat on their days off. If they were lucky, they could catch half a fish, but if they were unlucky, they would spend the whole day fishing and not even see any fish scales.

So while they admired her, they also knew that not everyone could do it. They could tell that this girl was naturally drawn to underwater creatures.

Director Zhang and his colleagues had gone along before, but even when they fished in the pre-prepared spots, they didn't see any improvement. So they were completely convinced.

Because of the consistent and high-quality supply of first snow every day, Director Zhang has received a lot of praise recently, and he genuinely wants to retain staff.

Chu Xue knew that although there was some self-interest involved, the other party really meant well: "Director Zhang, I am still in school. I originally took leave to accompany my father to treat his leg. Thank you for your kindness, but it's really not possible right now."

Director Zhang helped unload the fish: "Alright, if you go fishing again in the future, don't forget our canteen." Chu Xue smiled and readily agreed: "Okay, I'll definitely come over then."

Chef Hao came out and saw the fish in the bucket: "Oh, Xiao Liu, you're this one."

He gave the first snow a thumbs up.

Chu Xue deliberately prepared more, after all, everyone had been very kind to her during this time: "I'll weigh out 60 jin, and the rest is a little something from me. I'll share it with everyone later, thanks to Uncle Hao for taking care of me during this time."

For a moment, everyone was filled with emotion. No one expected that the young girl would be so magnanimous when she was leaving, making even these grown men feel somewhat ashamed.

Chu Xue naturally had her own reasons. After all, these people were valuable connections, and besides, she hadn't lied; she was genuinely grateful for their care.

The next morning, Chuxue was discharged from the hospital without any problems.

Dr. Jiang and the head nurse even came over to give them some special instructions, which moved the Liu family of three deeply.

As soon as they stepped out of the building, Chef Hao even arranged for someone to come and give them a ride in a tricycle.

See? Who said she was stupid? The fish I delivered yesterday has already brought me a reward.

When they came, they brought two bundles, but when they went back, it was different; they changed them to two small burlap sacks.

After a bumpy journey, they returned to the commune. Luckily, they ran into Old Quan, the village head, who was driving his oxcart back to the village. They hitched a ride: "Shanliang, how's your leg getting healed?"
