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

Chapter 1148 This vast ocean didn't delay your journey at all.
Upon hearing this, someone exclaimed, "That's right!"

At this moment, someone started clapping.

Seeing everyone's enthusiasm, the first snowflake was also infected by it.

Meanwhile, Guo Yueliang, holding a camera, found the right angle and pressed the shutter. She was full of enthusiasm and thought she would definitely write a report later.

After seeing off the enthusiastic villagers who expressed their gratitude, and having lunch at Jiao's house, Chuxue prepared to return home.

The captain had already had the dried seafood that had been exchanged earlier moved onto the boat, and when the first snow fell, Grandpa Afu was already there with his grandson.

When Chuxue arrived, Grandpa Afu kept praising her.

The first snowflake was a little embarrassed.

At this moment, the captain had someone bring over the thank-you gifts, but when Chuxue saw them, she quickly said, "Captain, are these all for me?"

The brigade leader nodded with a smile: "Yes, it's a small token of the villagers' appreciation."

Chu Xue quickly waved her hand and refused, saying, "Captain, I appreciate everyone's kindness, but this is really too much. I was just thinking of taking some back to have a special meal tonight. Any more than that would be difficult to preserve."

Seeing the first snow is no mere formality.

The captain thought about it and agreed. The girl had said that she would be returning to Beijing immediately after returning to the city, and so much fresh food would indeed be difficult to preserve. "Then you can choose whatever you want, take as much as you can, and if there's anything you want to eat later, just write to us and we'll mail it to you."

Chu Xue smiled brightly: "That's great! If I need dried seafood anytime, just write to me."

Just as they were about to load the boat and leave, they heard someone shout, "Wait, wait!" Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Gangzi's mother rushing towards them with her things in her arms: "My benefactor!"

He was about to kneel down when Chu Xue rushed forward and stopped him, saying, "You wouldn't dare. This is a new society now, and kneeling is no longer acceptable."

Gangzi's mother's eyes were red: "If it weren't for that, my Gangzi's life would probably be in danger. Gangzi can't leave the house now. I came to thank you on his behalf. We don't have anything good at home, but this is a small token of our family's appreciation. Please accept it."

Chu Xue looked at the much larger thank-you gift than others and was wondering what to say when she heard the captain say, "Take it."

Thinking that the child had been in the seawater for quite some time and might develop a fever that night, and seeing all the gifts of gratitude, Chu Xue took out medicine from her bag, which was actually from her spatial storage: "This is fever reducer I got from the factory clinic before I left Beijing. The child has been in the water for quite some time, and I'm afraid he might develop a fever tonight. You can take this just in case."

Gangzi's mother was even more grateful to Chuxue: "Thank you so much."

To avoid trouble, Chu Xue added, "But it's best to have the village doctor take a look and see if the child can eat it. The child's safety should be the top priority."

After exchanging pleasantries, Chu Xue finally boarded A Fu's boat. After waving goodbye to everyone, she smiled at Guo Yueliang and said, "Liangliang, see you in Beijing."

Looking at the now calm sea, I couldn't help but marvel: one second the waves were crashing against the rocks, and the next second the shimmering waves smoothed the surface of the sea.

The waves can be turbulent or gentle, depending entirely on the weather; life is truly tough for fishermen living by the sea.

Along the way, Grandpa Afu kept telling Chuxue interesting stories about the seaside. When they were almost there, he joked, "You young lady are really lucky. The sea didn't delay your journey at all."
