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

Chapter 1694 Less Cheesy Romance

When Aunt Wei heard that Chu Xue hadn't eaten and had given the dumplings to the homeroom teacher as a thank you gift, she hurried to the kitchen: "I'll make dumplings for you right away."

Upon hearing the word "you guys," Chu Xue turned to look at Fu Yancheng: "You haven't eaten either?"

Fu Yancheng originally planned to stay at school a little longer with his wife before leaving again, but he didn't expect the commute to go so smoothly: "I..."

He tried to explain, but Chuxue interrupted him directly, saying, "After you eat, you're not allowed to dawdle anymore. It's not safe to walk at night, and I'll worry about you."

Hearing this, Fu Yancheng knew that his wife was worried about him: "Okay, I'll listen to you. I have a few days off, so I'll go back to the city to see you and your children."

Aunt Wei worked quickly: "The dumplings are ready. You all get ready to eat first."

Wei Wenbin, being very perceptive, brought over a basin of water: "Uncle Fu, Auntie, please wash your hands before you eat."

The younger children also followed Wei Wenbin's example, saying, "Uncle, Auntie, let's eat."

Fu Yancheng gently tapped their little heads: "You have to call them Mom and Dad, not Wenbin and his brother."

Fu Bao's little eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and her head was tilted, making her look like she was thinking about something, which was really endearing.

Chu Xue suddenly laughed: "Little Fu Bao, what are you thinking about?"

Fu Bao asked very seriously, "Where are my brother's parents?"

After saying that, she spread out her two little hands.

Chu Xue, who had been smiling, immediately stopped smiling, afraid that Wei Wenbin would be upset by what she said: "Fu Bao, you are still young. You will understand some things when you are older. But Mom can tell you that your brother's father is a great hero, and your brother's mother loves him very much. It's just that they have gone to another world and can't be with your brother. So we must be good to your brother, remember?"

Wei Wenbin then walked over and said, "Auntie, it's alright. I'm no longer the child who wanted a mom and dad. Now I have Grandma, Uncle Fu and you, and my younger brother and sister. I don't feel lonely at all." Chu Xue suddenly remembered what she had heard that day: Wei Wenbin said, "He wants to become family with Uncle Fu and Auntie."

Chu Xue's eyes stung with tears. She stood up and touched Wei Wenbin, who was almost as tall as her: "From now on, we are family. We are your family. You don't have to envy others anymore."

Wei Wenbin's eyes instantly reddened, but he smiled and said, "Okay, we're family."

Aunt Wei, who hadn't heard the commotion outside while in the kitchen, came out to find them still standing there: "Chuxue, hurry up, eat dumplings!"

Chu Xue smiled and replied, "Coming right away."

Fu Yancheng had already prepared the dipping sauce for her, his eyes filled with doting affection. He had naturally overheard her conversation with Wenbin earlier, and he knew his wife was truly kind: "Wife, thank you."

The first snowflake looked up: "What are you thanking me for?"

Fu Yancheng smiled and said, "All of them."

Chu Xue patted him on the shoulder: "Stop being so mushy. Even these hot dumplings can't shut you up. Eat up and we'll leave early."

The reason Chu Xue wanted Fu Yancheng to leave early was because a section of the road back to the military region had been washed away by heavy rain a few days ago, and another section was half washed away. The other half was passable by vehicles, but there was a risk of falling off the road if one was not careful.

Fu Yancheng knew his wife was worried about him: "Don't worry, I'll definitely get through that before dark."

Aunt Wei brought over two bowls of dumpling soup: "I'll leave the dumpling soup to cool down for you. After you finish eating the dumplings, you can use the soup to help digest them."

Chu Xue smiled and took the dumplings, saying, "Aunt Wei, your filling is really delicious. Our homeroom teacher will probably crave these dumplings forever after eating them."
