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

Chapter 1702 Only by climbing higher can we protect them, mother and child.
Upon hearing his wife's words, Fu Yancheng smiled and nodded, "Alright, I'll go find Aunt Sun in a bit."

Aunt Wei worked quickly, cooking several bowls of noodles for them. Not only did she put an egg in each bowl, but she also added the mushroom and meat sauce she had made yesterday. She threw in some greens while cooking the noodles, making them not only look nice but also taste delicious.

Fu Yancheng invited Song Sanrui and his wife to sit down and eat.

Seeing that Gu Xiaomi was quite reserved, Chu Xue smiled and helped her ladle meat sauce into her bowl of noodles, saying, "Aunt Wei's cooking is excellent, please try it."

Gu Xiaomi was extremely nervous. She had only eaten meat a handful of times in her life, let alone mixed it with noodles. The aroma made her swallow hard, causing her face to turn bright red instantly, though it wasn't very noticeable due to her skin tone.

Song Sanrui glanced at his wife: "Xiaomi, eat. We'll repay the kindness of Commander Fu and your sister-in-law in the future."

At this moment, Aunt Fu brought out two bowls of noodle soup: "I'll let the noodle soup cool down for you first, so you can drink it after you finish eating the noodles."

Fu Yancheng had already eaten, and looked at Song Sanrui, saying, "Have a bite first, it'll be almost noon soon, and we'll have a welcome lunch for you and your husband."

Upon hearing that a welcoming feast was to be held, Song Sanrui quickly waved his hand and said, "Commander Fu, there's no need for such trouble. This meat sauce noodle soup is already luxurious enough; we can't spend any more money."

Fu Yancheng patted his shoulder: "Just call me Brother Fu from now on. Hurry up and eat, and just listen to my instructions."

Song Sanrui wanted to say something, but in the end he just opened his mouth and lowered his head to eat his noodles.

To be honest, this was the first time he had ever eaten such delicious noodles, and the chef's skills were even better than those of the head chefs at state-run restaurants.

Meanwhile, Gu Xiaomi was eating noodles with her eyes red. If she hadn't tried her best to control herself, she probably would have burst into tears. This was the best meal she had ever eaten since she could remember.

Seeing that they had started eating, Fu Yancheng turned to his wife, Chuxue, and asked, "Wife, do you have any other plans for later?"

Chu Xue smiled and nodded, "I'm going to the Ministry of Machine Building in a bit. Vice Minister Zhao sent some documents over a few days ago; they need them urgently. I've been staying up late these past few days translating them and I'm going to send them over later." Fu Yancheng felt a little sorry for her and said, "They're really something. You have to go to school and take care of the child, and they still give you such a heavy workload. It's really..."

Chu Xue smiled as she saw him frowning and reached out to touch his brow: "Don't frown, it doesn't look good. It's not like this often. This time it's a special case, and the translation fee they offered was quite high."

He then joked, "Who told your wife to be greedy for money? That's why I accepted it."

Fu Yancheng felt a pang of regret: "Wife, don't make yourself work so hard in the future. I'll take on more of the work."

Before he could finish speaking, Chu Xue slapped him on the shoulder: "If you dare to do that, I'll make you pay. You try me if you don't believe me."

Can my hard work be compared to your taking on a task?

Have I forgotten everything I told you before?

Fu Yancheng's nose tingled: "I haven't forgotten, it's just that I feel..."

Chu Xue pulled him into the house and leaned directly into his arms: "Fu Yancheng, we have different roles. I really enjoy translation work and don't find it tiring at all. I can learn a lot from it, so it's not boring at all."

Our family isn't short of money. I just want you to be safe and sound. Do you understand what I mean?

Hearing this, Fu Yancheng's heart melted, but it also strengthened his resolve to climb the social ladder. His wife was simply too outstanding; only by reaching higher could he protect her and their child.
