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

Chapter 1704 Such a good thing!
Chu Xue didn't agree immediately, but said, "I'm afraid we need to discuss this with the school first, since it's not something that can be done in a day or two."

Vice Minister Zhao smiled and said, "Don't worry about that. As long as you agree, I'll contact the school right away."

If it were before, she probably wouldn't have agreed. After all, she couldn't just leave the three children with Aunt Wei alone. Even with Wenbin's help, the triplets wouldn't always be so well-behaved.

Things are different now. With Song Sanrui and his wife around, and her fondness for them, she can finally relax: "Have you set a time yet?"

Vice Minister Zhao took a document out of his drawer: "Take a look."

Chu Xue took it and saw that it was an internal document from the Ministry of Machine Building. It was a notice about the reception work for the xx delegation's visit to China, which specified the time, place, participating units, and reception standards.

The reason I showed the documents to Chuxue was to make sure she was aware of what was going on.

Chu Xue asked again, "Should I prepare my own clothes, or should we wear the same uniform?"

Vice Minister Zhao laughed: "You've hit the nail on the head. This time, to demonstrate our professionalism, the Ministry of Foreign Trade will have uniforms made according to each person's size."

After saying that, he gave Chuxue a knowing look.

Chu Xue immediately laughed: "Such a good thing?"

Vice Minister Zhao laughed heartily: "It's all because you're lucky."

As they were talking, the secretary ran back: "Vice Minister Zhao, they said there are no problems, and that it's perfect."

After agreeing on the terms, Vice Minister Zhao turned to his secretary and said, "Take her to the logistics department to take the measurements, and then report it together with the other personnel's measurements."

After saying that, he wrote a note, signed his name, and handed it to Chuxue: "Go to the finance department to collect your translation fee, then go to the logistics department."

Chu Xue asked Fu Yancheng to wait for her while she went to the finance department first.

When Sister Wang from the finance department saw her come in, she smiled and said, "You're here."

The process was familiar, and it was completed quickly. Sister Wang habitually used lip reading to tell her the amount. After counting, Chu Xue smiled back at her, confirmed everything was correct, signed, and left.

As soon as she left, someone asked curiously, "Sister Wang, did Comrade Xiao collect quite a lot this time?"

Sister Wang just smiled and didn't reply.

When the person asking the question saw that Sister Wang still didn't reply as usual, he said to himself, "Look at her, she can get money just by writing something. It's really enviable."

Seeing that Sister Wang still didn't speak, the man turned around and chatted with the person next to him: "Do you think I should learn some foreign languages ​​during my break time? This is making money too fast."

The colleague over there was good-natured: "Then go ahead and learn. You keep saying you want to learn every few days, but I haven't seen you do anything about it."

The man gave an awkward smile: "I don't forget about it afterward, but I'm envious when I see it."

Hearing her say that, her colleague laughed and said, "Alright, let's focus on doing our work well first. If you can't even handle this little thing, you'll only get criticized."

As Chu Xue came out of the finance department, Fu Yancheng came up to her and habitually reached out to take her bag, saying, "Let me carry it."

Chu Xue didn't refuse, after all, she still needed to go with Secretary Qu to take measurements later, and it would be inconvenient to carry this.

However, after Fu Yancheng took the bag, he noticed the difference in weight and thought to himself: It seems that my wife's translation fee is quite high again this time.

He felt both proud and a little bittersweet; his monthly salary wasn't even as much as his wife earned translating a single document.

He thought about the mission his division commander had mentioned to him and decided to accept it when he got back.

If my income can't keep up with my wife's, I should at least accumulate more military merits to get a promotion.
