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

Chapter 1650 My mom found out even later than you did, so you're not the last one.

When Fu's mother heard her husband's words, she said, "Of course I have no objection, but I'm afraid someone will be unhappy."

Father Fu waved his hand and said, "We've given subsidies to their children before. Of all the brothers, the fourth one is the one who gets the short end of the stick, so it's only right that we compensate him a little."

Madam Fu didn't dwell on these matters any further. She mysteriously took a small box out of the wardrobe and asked, "Look what this is?"

Mr. Fu peeked over and his eyes widened immediately: "When did you prepare this?"

Madam Fu laughed and picked up a jade pendant in her hand: "When I found out that the fourth son's family was pregnant with triplets, I asked Lao Fang to cut the jade that I had been keeping to make jade pendants. I made ten jade pendants in total. I had him carve the zodiac animal on nine of them. I originally wanted to make the last one into a 'no worries' pendant, but after thinking about it, I decided to let him keep it for now."

They both understood the meaning behind those words.

Father Fu picked up each piece and examined it carefully: "Shall we not give this jade pendant to you this time?"

Madam Fu naturally understood his meaning: "Alright, it wouldn't be good if they got the benefits and then made sarcastic remarks, that would be my fault, I can't cause trouble for Fu Bao and the others."

When Mr. Fu heard his wife say this, he smiled and said, "Yes, I'm relieved that you think that way."

Fu's mother rolled her eyes at him: "I'm not stupid. Besides, the New Year is just around the corner, a few more days won't make a difference."

The next day, to Chuxue's surprise, besides her parents-in-law, her eldest brother-in-law and aunt arrived first.

The two women came in carrying large and small bags and went straight to the triplets.

After interacting and being affectionate with the triplets, Zhang Haitang took Chuxue's hand and said, "It's a good thing that you got into Peking University. Why didn't you tell us sooner? If my aunt hadn't come over yesterday, we wouldn't have known."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao's father's voice came from the doorway: "Sister-in-law, what did you say?"

Everyone in the room looked over and saw Xiao's father walk in carrying a small tricycle. He looked at Zhang Haitang and asked again, "Sister-in-law, what did you just say?"

Now that things had come to this point, and knowing it couldn't be hidden any longer, Chuxue decided to let her aunt say it again: "Dad, Peking University, I got into Peking University."

Mr. Xiao almost dropped the tricycle from his hands, but luckily he reacted quickly and grabbed it back.

He put the tricycle on the ground and looked straight at Chuxue: "Such a big thing, and I, as her father, am the last to know."

That's what he said, but his mouth was practically stretched to the back of his ears in a wide grin.

Chu Xue simply replied, "It's okay, my mom found out even later than you did, you're not the last one."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Xiao didn't know how to respond: "When did this happen?"

Chu Xue deliberately didn't mention the specific date she received the notice, only saying, "It happened in the last few days. If my aunt hadn't come yesterday, she wouldn't have known. Now that you've come today, you know too."

He shrugged as he spoke, implying that it was fair, since he was the one who arrived late.

Mr. Xiao wasn't one to dwell on things: "It's good that you passed the exam, it's good that you passed the exam."

Uncle Xiao then chimed in, “Our Xiao family has finally produced a college student! If Xia Qiu can also get in, that would be double the joy! This is a wonderful thing. Dad said that after the New Year, we should all go back to our ancestral home together so that the two sisters can offer incense to our ancestors.”

Mr. and Mrs. Fu exchanged a glance, thinking: This is clearly our Fu family's daughter-in-law, why does she have to go back to your clan's territory to offer incense? However, they didn't say it out loud, since their daughter's surname was indeed Xiao.
