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

Chapter 1164 A Little Lie Made of Kindness
I went back to my room and tidied everything up so I wouldn't have to do it again when I got back tonight. Looking at the watch I bought for Fu Yancheng, I realized that I hadn't called him since I called him to let him know I was safe. My heart sank. Oh no, how could I have completely forgotten about this?

He slapped his forehead, forgetting all about packing, and rushed to the public phone booth outside the guesthouse. When he first opened it, he didn't know the guesthouse's phone number. When he called to let Fu Yancheng know he was safe, he only said he would tell him the guesthouse's phone number next time. But he was really busy every day after that, and later he simply forgot to call.

However, she really couldn't be blamed for this. She would only call Fu Yancheng if there was something wrong. Usually, it was Fu Yancheng who would call her first. Of course, this excuse was just something she thought of.

Meanwhile, Fu Yancheng, who had just returned from a mission, rushed to the communications unit after reporting to his superiors: "Have you received any calls about me recently?"

After all, every incoming call is recorded here.

After turning several registers upside down, Fu Yancheng still couldn't find any incoming call records. Just as he was about to search through them again, he heard an operator say, "Who are you looking for?"

The voice on the other end of the phone said, "I'm looking for Fu Yancheng, the battalion commander of the Third Battalion."

"Who are you?"

"I am his wife, Xiao Chuxue. Please transfer me to another number."

Fu Yancheng, with his excellent hearing, immediately rushed over and took the phone from the operator: "Xue'er, it's me."

Chu Xue was taken aback when she heard the urgent voice on the other end: "So fast?"

Fu Yancheng naturally understood what he meant, and couldn't help but smile and explain, "I came back from a mission and just happened to come over to see if you had called me. Would you say we're telepathically connected?"

He said this without trying to hide it from the operator in the communications room.

This left the operators looking at each other in disbelief. They never expected that the cold-hearted Battalion Commander Fu would have such a side. Many female comrades in the army had tried to win his favor, but he always remained indifferent. They never expected him to talk to his wife like this.

Everyone was staring at Fu Yancheng without any restraint, because he was so busy chatting with the person on the other end of the phone that he didn't notice their gazes at all. When Chu Xue heard that he had just returned from a mission, she quickly tried to make amends: "Yancheng, I've been so busy. Every day I had to get up early to rush to the Canton Fair, translate all day until my throat was dry, and then have meetings with everyone in the evening to fill in the gaps and discuss various solutions for the next day. It wasn't until I was more comfortable with the work that I had time to call you, and then I found out you were on a mission. I didn't know when you would be back, so I didn't call again."

"Well, the team leader booked train tickets to go back tomorrow, and I thought I'd try my luck. I didn't expect to find you so quickly. Just like you said, we really are on the same wavelength."

Upon hearing that his wife was taking the train back tomorrow, Fu Yancheng exclaimed, "That's wonderful! I'll pick you up at the station the day after tomorrow. I'm so happy!"

I originally wanted to say 'I miss you so much,' but I thought the occasion wasn't right, so I kept quiet.

The two exchanged a few more words before hanging up.

Thinking that he would see his wife the day after tomorrow, he forgot about what she had said about calling him before, and left the communications unit with a smile on his face.

He hadn't gone far when he ran into Deputy Battalion Commander Shen, who was looking for him: "What brings you here?"

Upon seeing his expression, Deputy Battalion Commander Shen exclaimed, "Oh, so you've managed to get in touch with your wife?"

Fu Yancheng said with a smug look, "Of course. As soon as I arrived at the communications unit, your sister-in-law called. Don't you think we're telepathically connected?"

Looking at his arrogant demeanor, Deputy Battalion Commander Shen scoffed, "It's true what they say, one thing can subdue another. I never thought our dignified, stern, and cold-hearted Battalion Commander Fu would have such a day."

Fu Yancheng rolled his eyes at Deputy Battalion Commander Shen, his expression hardening. "Speak, what brings you here?"

Deputy Battalion Commander Shen turned around and followed Fu Yancheng's steps: "I just ran into Instructor Guo. He said he got his marriage certificate with his blind date today. He'll be tidying up the house tomorrow and the day after, and the day after that he plans to have two tables at home and invite his comrades who get along well with him to have a meal at his house, just like attending their wedding banquet. I was just thinking that you said you were going to take a leave of absence to go back to the city to see your wife, so I came over to tell you first."
