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

Chapter 1858 Why are you asking this?

Shi Tou didn't expect that his third sister would hear him, so he quickly tried to salvage the situation, saying, "My third sister is also very smart, so of course I can't hold them back."

But as soon as he said that, everyone was trying hard not to laugh.

Hearing this, Chunxiao became even angrier: "Xiao Shitou, you're something else!"

Stone looked bewildered and innocent, asking, "Why is Third Sister even angrier?"

Xiao Nianchun frowned slightly, thinking that Chunxiao was such a grown-up, yet she was still arguing with Shitou. But she didn't want to cause trouble at her second brother's house either: "Your third sister is just joking with you."

When Chunxiao arrived in the kitchen, she said with a dark face, "You stinky stone, we're both my own sisters, and I haven't even complained about him yet, but she's already complaining about me."

Xiao's mother overheard her words: "What did Shi Tou do to you? You still want to dislike him?"

Chunxiao knew that her mother would always side with Shitou whenever it came to anything, so she didn't bother to say anything more: "How could I dare to look down on him?"

Just then, Fu Yancheng came over to help serve the food. Xiao's mother swallowed the words she was about to say, but after Fu Yancheng left, she glared at Chunxiao and said, "How old is Shitou? Even if he offended you, you can't stoop to his level. You'll still need him to back you up in the future."

After saying that, he carried a bowl of porridge out of the kitchen.

Chunxiao heard these words again: "All you do is make empty promises, humph."

Chu Xue happened to come out at that moment and naturally heard Chunxiao's words clearly, but she didn't care. She just asked Xiao's mother, who came out of the kitchen, "Mom, is there anything for Zhuifeng to eat?"

Zhui Feng had been watching this side the whole time. Upon hearing this, he not only stood up but also wagged his tail, and his little expression made Chu Xue laugh.

Upon hearing the question, Xiao's mother said, "I almost forgot about it." After thinking for a moment, she said, "There's some leftover noodle soup from lunch. I'll cook some potatoes and radishes in it later, and add a handful of cornmeal."

Chuxue didn't ask for too much: "Okay, I'll do it. Otherwise, it'll be too hot for it to eat. We need to give it time to cool down the food."

At the dinner table, Chu Xue thought of the advice she had given Jiang Wenyue and the others before, and looked at Xiao's father and said, "Dad, did you used to grow castor beans and safflower in Willow Tree Village?"

Upon hearing Chu Xue's words, Xiao's father asked, "Why are you asking about this?"

Chu Xue held a steamed bun in her hand: "A friend of mine opened a workshop and wants to make lipsticks for girls. They've been experimenting with it recently. If it's successful, there will be a large demand for castor beans and safflower. If these two crops are suitable for planting in the village, I can help the village make connections. That way, all those barren slopes and hillsides can be utilized, which is more profitable than growing crops."

Upon hearing this, Xiao's father became more talkative: "If this can really be done, it will be a great thing, and the villagers will have a better life."

Chu Xue understood Xiao's father's thoughts. Even though he had broken off ties with the Liu family, the connections in the village remained. No matter how far he went, he would always have the village on his mind.

Chu Xue nodded and said, "That's what I think too. If there's demand and Willow Village can meet the planting requirements, I'll definitely help them get it."

Mr. Xiao rubbed his hands and said, "Alright, keep this in mind. Don't force yourself. If you can meet their requirements, then help them try to get it."

Xiao Nianchun and Qiu Jinzhou exchanged a glance, both thinking to themselves: Second Brother's family are all kind and righteous people.

After dinner, Chuxue didn't linger any longer: "Mom, it's getting late, I won't help you tidy up."

Xiao's mother quickly waved her hand and said, "There's no need for your help. You all hurry up and get ready to leave."

After helping them put their belongings in the car and watching them get in, he said, "Yancheng, drive carefully."
