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

Chapter 1664 Promotion to Regiment Commander

Seeing that Old Man Xu was really angry, Miao Yiqiu quickly tugged at Old Master Xiao's sleeve, trying to calm him down.

Grandpa Xiao also felt that it was about time. If he continued to show off, he was afraid that Old Man Xu would break off their friendship.

Grandpa Xiao ate his meal with great satisfaction. When he left, he saw that Grandpa Xu was not very happy, so he went up to him and said, "Alright, don't be angry. I haven't told you yet, my second daughter-in-law's niece got into Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications. I heard that school is pretty good."

After saying that, he called out to Miao Yiqiu, who got into the car, with great enthusiasm: "Old Xu, I'm leaving now. Let's get together another day."

Old Xu got even angrier when he heard this: "What kind of gathering is this?"

That's how the two old men are; they always miss each other when they're apart, and they bicker whenever they meet.

The next day, the elderly couple from the Xiao family returned to their ancestral home to make preparations.

Chu Xue thought she would go back to the family compound one last time before returning to her clan's territory to bring some daily necessities and clothes for the coming years, as she would be living in this small compound for the next few years.

As it turned out, Fu Yancheng had thought of what she had thought of as well. A few days before returning to his ancestral home, Fu Yancheng took advantage of his trip to buy some supplies and delivered the packed items and the women's bicycle to her. He also sent her a message that he would come over the night before returning to his ancestral home.

Chu Xue had no idea that Fu Yancheng had been working himself to the bone these past few days to accompany her back to her ancestral home, and had been teased by many for not being able to live without his wife.

But Fu Yancheng readily admitted it, and even said that whenever he had a day off, he would go back to the city to be with his wife and children.

These words somehow got out, and the men were dumbfounded. Their wives started telling them to learn from Deputy Regiment Commander Fu every day when they went home.

Just as he was about to catch the train back to the city, he received a promotion appointment from his superiors, officially becoming the regimental commander.

Commander Zheng knew he had taken leave and told him to return in three days to take over as regimental commander.

Whether at the camp or in the family compound, everyone was talking about it: "He's the youngest regimental commander in the military region." "Commander Fu's promotion speed is probably unmatched; it's truly enviable."

"He didn't take any crooked paths; these are all real achievements. Plus, his wife is capable, and now she's been admitted to such a good school, which is a huge plus."

"Fu Tuan's luck is unparalleled. Why didn't I meet such a good wife?"

"Alright, stop lamenting. Your wife can't even catch up with Fu Tuan's wife on horseback."

"The way you're talking makes it sound like your wife can keep up."

Then came a burst of laughter.

The entire Xiao family was returning to their ancestral home, so Uncle Xiao borrowed a truck specifically for transporting people. The truck bed not only had a canopy but also wooden planks on both sides for everyone to sit on.

Since there are many people in the family who can drive, we didn't bring a driver.

After Uncle Xiao drove for a while, Fu Yancheng took over. Seeing that the road was relatively smooth, Fu Yancheng originally wanted Chu Xue to drive for a while so that she could practice.

Chu Xue directly refused: "Let's forget it. After all, we're taking a whole family with us today, so safety comes first."

It wasn't that she didn't believe in her driving skills, but rather that the current steering wheel didn't have a power steering system, so she had to rely entirely on her strength and decided to give up.

When they arrived at the ancestral land, Grandpa Xiao had already been waiting at the village entrance for a long time. There were some villagers behind him. As soon as they saw the big truck enter the village, many children cheered, "The big truck is coming into the village!"

Grandpa Xiao smiled broadly: "Come, come, slow down. The food is ready. Let's go back and rest for a bit before we eat."
