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

Chapter 1132 Everyone is happy
Not long after these three families finished their exchanges, many more people arrived, bringing carefully selected items, indicating that they had taken the captain's words to heart.

Some families have daughters who are getting married and want to make a new dress for her as a wedding gown, so they specifically want the fabric.

Some people come for the cigarettes, thinking they can make a good impression when visiting their in-laws, but most people come for the soap and brown sugar.

Even though Chu Xue secretly added some things from her space to her bag, she still managed to change them all out in less than an hour. Looking at the pile of dried seafood there, even if she gave some back to others, it would be enough for her and Fu Yancheng to eat for a year or two.

When the next family came, Chuxue had to trade with them using money and tickets, and everyone was happy.

Seeing that they had already collected quite a bit of the first snow, the brigade leader and Grandpa Afu decided not to notify anyone else to come over. They couldn't let the young girl collect all the snow from the whole village.

The first snowfall was naturally a case of knowing when to stop, since stopping any further would arouse suspicion.

Several families helped Chuxue pack everything up, and Grandpa Afu laughed and said, "If you take my boat again, I'm afraid I won't be able to deliver you in one trip."

Chu Xue smiled and said, "Uncle Afu, as soon as the fishing boats return from the sea tomorrow, I'll buy some fresh fish and we'll leave."

Grandpa Afu naturally had no objections, but looking at all this dried seafood, he asked, "Will someone come to pick you up when I take you to Lotus Mountain?"

Chu Xue nodded and lied: "Yes."

Since the girl said she was there to attend the Canton Fair, she assumed she had someone with her, so she didn't doubt the truth of her words. She figured the girl must have brought some for her colleagues as well, otherwise how could she have exchanged so many?

That's good. They can fill in the blanks themselves without Chu Xue having to explain.

While packing dried seafood, Chu Xue casually asked, "What kinds of fruits do you have here? Could you help me find some saplings?"

Having finally obtained the flashlight he had been longing for, Grandpa Fu readily agreed, saying, "Just ask someone for one or two trees; it won't cost any money."

Chu Xue naturally couldn't accept the saplings as a favor from Grandpa Afu, and refused no matter what. But Grandpa Afu insisted, so Chu Xue had no choice but to take out a small bag of fruit candies from her bag: "Then let's exchange these fruit candies, otherwise I won't feel at ease." Everyone could see that this girl was an honest person, and their impression of her improved even more.

As it was getting dark, the brigade leader and Grandpa Afu brought over guava, lychee, and longan seedlings. In addition, they brought various vegetable seeds from their area, most of which were collected by these families. They also brought some fresh lotus roots for her to take back to her family to try.

Chu Xue naturally did not refuse, since she didn't actually have any of those items in her space.

Uncle Jiao's house had a spare room, and Chu Xue had already arranged with Aunt Jiao to stay there for the night. Including dinner and two meals the next day, Chu Xue would give her a total of two yuan.

Originally, the Jiao family refused to accept the money, but Chuxue insisted on giving it to them. The couple had no choice but to prepare a few meals and make sure Chuxue ate well.

After a busy day, Wan Qing, who hadn't seen Chu Xue when she got back, had a wicked thought. She hurriedly went out and knocked on the team leader's door: "Captain, it's so late and Chu Xue still hasn't come back. Could something have happened to her outside?"

Hearing this, Lao Zhou became a little anxious and called out to Zhang Aiguo and Qian Silin inside the room, "Don't rest yet, hurry up and go out to find Chuxue. I'll also go downstairs to the front desk to ask."

Upon hearing that Chuxue had not yet returned, they disregarded their fatigue and said, "We'll go right now."

Wan Qing watched them go downstairs and thought to herself: No matter what the reason, this whole thing will definitely ruin that bitch's reputation.

But as soon as they arrived at the front desk, before they could even ask anything, the woman inside remembered Chu Xue's instructions from that morning, slapped her forehead, and said, "Look how well I remember!"

He quickly took out the note Chu Xue had given him: "This was left by the pretty girl who went on the business trip with you this morning. I was so busy that I forgot about it."

After reading the contents, Lao Zhou finally breathed a sigh of relief: "I knew it. How could Chu Xue be so unreliable? Alright, that saves you the trouble of going out to look for her. Okay, go upstairs and rest."
