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

Chapter 1172 Xiao's Mother's Triumphant Moment

Fu Yancheng escorted the person to their doorstep, helped carry the items into the yard, and then went back to the car to get a few bags of milk powder.

Mr. Xiao almost kicked him into a whirlwind, and now he rushed to the front door in a hurry: "Dad, take these bags of milk powder inside, I have something to do so I won't go in."

Mr. Xiao didn't stand on ceremony with his son-in-law, assuming it must have been arranged by his second daughter: "Alright, you go and do your thing, don't delay."

He propped up the bicycle, quickly took his son from his wife's arms, and gently supported his wife as she prepared to get off.

For some reason, Xiao's mother hesitated for a long time before getting out of the car.

Mr. Xiao frowned and said, "You'd better get off the car quickly, Yancheng has things to do."

Hearing the commotion, the neighbors came out as well. After all, they already knew from Grandpa Xiao and his wife that Zhao Lamei, who was pregnant with a baby, had given birth to a son: "Lamei, you're back?"

"Oh my, this baby must have eaten a lot of fine food in its belly, look how fair and clean it is."

But before he could finish speaking, the hand that was lifting the blanket was slapped away by Xiao's mother: "The child is still young and can't stand the wind."

"Oh dear, look at me, I got so excited that I couldn't control myself. But this kid is really good-looking."

What can you really tell about a baby who's only two days old? It's not like we're just thinking that saying nice things doesn't cost anything, it's just a waste of breath.

But this woman in front of him has a retired father-in-law, an elder brother-in-law who is an official, and a son-in-law who is a military officer. Although her husband's job is not as prestigious as an office job, his benefits are excellent. She has no choice but to curry favor with him.

At this moment, the man from the Cheng family next door also came over: "Brother Xiao, congratulations."

Someone egged on, saying, "The Xiao family is overjoyed to have a son. They should host a party so everyone can share in the happiness." Only then did Mrs. Xiao slowly get out of the car, her face beaming with pride: "That's for sure."

Fu Yancheng glanced at his watch: "Dad, I have to go, it'll be too late if I stay any longer."

Mr. Xiao quickly pulled Mrs. Xiao, who was still showing off to others, aside: "Yancheng has something to do. You should close the car door quickly, he has to leave."

Xiao's mother was being fawned over at the moment, so she wasn't angry: "Oh dear, look at me talking to everyone. Yancheng, drive carefully on the road. Stone Man can't drink much milk powder for now, so don't bother to find any more for him. The milk powder your grandfather sent before is enough for him to drink for a while."

Fu Yancheng frowned almost imperceptibly, but did not reply. He simply nodded towards the outside of the car, honked the horn, and quickly drove away.

Although the neighbors were talking to his mother-in-law, their eyes were on him, both openly and secretly. Without his wife's protection, he couldn't stay there any longer.

As soon as I turned onto the main road, I saw my sister-in-law's family bustling about. I quickly pulled the car over to the side of the road and said, "Sister, brother-in-law."

Xia Qiu looked over upon hearing the voice: "Yan Cheng."

As they approached, Fu Yancheng asked, "Did you come because you received a message, or...?"

Xia Qiu laughed when she heard the question: "No, I was just thinking that Mom's due date was in the next few days. When I got home, I found out that Mom had gone to the hospital. Grandpa and Aunt Miao weren't home either, so we went to the hospital. But we ended up going in different directions. When we got to the hospital, we found out that you had taken Mom away, so we hurried back."

Thinking of something, Xia Qiu asked, "When will Chu Xue be back?"
