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

Chapter 1466 The First Snow's Foresight

Chu Xue wasn't just planning to plant chives indoors; she also wanted to ask Fu Yancheng to make her a few wooden boxes in a few days so she could plant some spinach and other vegetables there.

The purpose was simple: to let the military leaders know about this.

She knew there was a small farm belonging to the military not far from the base. She didn't know if there was any place to grow greenhouse vegetables now, but the military had the capability and manpower, so she wanted to give it a try.

A large portion of the people at the small farm are military dependents. If greenhouse vegetables are promoted, they will naturally earn more income and allow the soldiers to enjoy fresh vegetables even in the dead of winter.

Now that everyone's circumstances have improved, they won't always be eyeing other people's homes anymore. She doesn't want to have to sneak around like a thief to cook delicious food for her children after they're born.

Why not help others while also planning ahead for ourselves? Wouldn't that be the best of both worlds?

Their lively chatter attracted Tao's wife, who said, "What are you talking about? It's so lively."

After another introduction, Chu Xue finally mentioned that she wanted to try growing some fresh vegetable seedlings indoors during the winter.

Now Sister Tao was also interested: "If it really works out, that would be a great thing. Then we can have a change of pace in the winter."

Knowing that Fu Yanwan would have to catch the early bus back to the city soon, Mo Ruhua and Sister Tao didn't delay any longer: "Alright, you guys go ahead and eat, we'll be going now."

Fu Yanwan treated everyone equally, went back to the kitchen, packed a few chive boxes, and handed them to Sister Tao: "Sister Tao, take these back for the children to try."

Tao's wife was a little embarrassed, but Chuxue smiled and said, "Xiaowan made a lot this morning. It was originally meant for his fourth brother. It's just that Yushan and Yurong are lucky."

Since things had come to this point, Sister Tao didn't stand on ceremony. She thanked her and left with her chive boxes.

Not long after, she returned the bowl, which contained a small bowl of wontons: "There's not much, so share it with me. The filling is made from wild vegetables that I dried in the early autumn."

Chu Xue knew that Sister Tao was a straightforward person: "Then we won't stand on ceremony with you, Sister Tao. I've been craving it too." Chu Xue wasn't lying; she really did want wontons.

However, she didn't eat it all by herself. She gave a small portion to her sister-in-law and Guo Yueliang, and said with a smile, "You can just have a taste. The rest is all mine."

The two men laughed when they saw her like that.

After finishing her meal, Fu Yanwan didn't even bother to help clean up: "Sister Liangliang, I'll leave the rest to you. I have to go now, or I'll miss my train."

Guo Yueliang readily agreed, and even joked, "No problem, leave it to me, I guarantee your fourth sister-in-law won't have to lift a finger."

The two men saw her off at the gate and watched her walk away before turning back into the courtyard.

Fu Yanwan arrived at the bus stop carrying large and small bags. Someone whispered, "Whose family member is this?"

“I know, she’s Deputy Regiment Commander Fu’s sister. I just saw her come to pick someone up yesterday.”

"My goodness, are they here to freeload?"

"They brought a lot of things when they came yesterday, what nonsense are you talking about?"

“It’s only natural to bring things when visiting your own brother and sister-in-law, but it’s really inappropriate to carry so much stuff.”

Upon hearing the woman's words, everyone took a step back and moved away from her.

Since she hadn't been trying to keep her voice down, Fu Yanwan naturally heard her. Instead of getting angry, she smiled and waved what she was holding at the woman, saying, "What can I do? I have such a wonderful sister-in-law. Others can only envy that."
