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

Chapter 1405 Ideas Coincidentally
For the next two days, Chu Xue would go out of the family compound every day, and when she came back, she would bring some food on the back of her bicycle.

Some were traded with villagers, while others were taken out of the space under the guise of going out.

Fu Yancheng said that a promotion shouldn't overshadow a wedding banquet, so he should just host three tables and invite only close friends to have a meal together. That's the gist of it.

This idea coincided with Chuxue's.

For such a big event as a promotion, if you don't follow the crowd and throw a party, people will inevitably gossip behind your back. But if you go too far, you might attract even more gossip. It's best to just follow the crowd. If anyone still finds fault with it, then they must be out of their mind.

These past two days, as soon as training ended, Fu Yancheng rushed home without stopping, wanting to make sure Chuxue was safe and sound at home as soon as possible.

Seeing him like this, Chu Xue couldn't help but tease him: "Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"

Fu Yancheng washed his hands and helped Chu Xue pack the ingredients she brought back: "Is it wrong for me to be good to my wife? If anyone dares to say anything, I will definitely shut them up and make them feel ashamed and indignant."

His choice of words made Chuxue laugh.

As the two were discussing tomorrow's menu, Mo Ruhua entered the courtyard: "First Snow."

Chu Xue looked up and smiled: "You're back. How's it going? Almost done?"

After greeting Fu Yancheng, Mo Ruhua pulled up a small stool and sat down next to them: "I rushed around and barely finished half of it. I told the principal I'd like to ask for leave tomorrow and come over for a free meal."

Chu Xue smiled and teased, "That's right. Even if you're in a hurry, you still need to balance work and rest. I'll make you something delicious tomorrow to help you recover and finish the job as soon as possible."

Mo Ruhua took Chu Xue's arm, saying, "Chu Xue, you're the best to me." But as soon as she finished speaking, she heard Shen Kaiyuan's voice: "How dare you call someone 'Chu Xue'!"

Mo Ruhua glared at her husband: "This is a matter between us women. You, a grown man, should stay out of it. Didn't you see that even Battalion Commander Fu doesn't care?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Kaiyuan looked at Fu Yancheng and said, "Hey, how dare you talk to me with such a short temper?"

Seeing his wife happy, Fu Yancheng said, "Alright, stop talking. Wives aren't our possessions; they're independent individuals. Just let them do as they please."

Seeing that his buddy had said so, Shen Kaiyuan shrugged and then said cheekily, "Well, it's true that a higher-ranking official can crush you. What can I say?"

Mo Ruhua threw a carrot at her, saying, "Stop talking nonsense."

Chu Xue smiled and looked at Fu Yancheng: "It's rare for everyone to be here, let's eat here tonight. There are fish in the basin over there. Tao's sister-in-law sent over some homemade soybean paste a few days ago, let's stew fish tonight."

Mo Ruhua didn't stand on ceremony with her: "Then we won't stand on ceremony."

After saying that, he turned to Shen Kaiyuan and said, "Hurry back to our house and bring some rice. We'll steam plain rice tonight. Also, bring a piece of cured meat. Chuxue should have some dried bamboo shoots. I really want to eat them."

Seeing his wife's impolite attitude, Shen Kaiyuan was at his wit's end, but what could he do? "It's only because Yancheng and I are childhood friends, and you're also familiar with him and get along well with your sister-in-law, that people would be annoyed with you to death if it were anyone else."

Mo Ruhua waved her hand at him and said, "Hurry up, don't let my godson and godson go hungry."
