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

Chapter 337 Do you know something?

Fu Yancheng looked back at his father and said, "Yes, I've made up my mind. It's her."

Fu's mother had mentioned to Fu's father that the girl was the one who saved their son. They originally wanted to go and thank her in person, but their son disagreed, saying that he would come by himself.

He was afraid that his son would marry the girl only because she saved his life, which is why he asked this question.

Seeing the determination in his son's eyes and the slight smile on his lips, he knew that his son really liked the girl: "Okay, have you told her when you're going over?"

Fu Yancheng coughed lightly again: "This weekend is over."

The Fu couple said in unison, "So urgent?"

Fu Erge burst out laughing: "Hey, Fourth Brother, it's Friday already. You should at least get Mom and Dad to prepare the betrothal gifts. You're in such a hurry."

Fu Yancheng said, "I never fight a battle unprepared. Mom and Dad, I've already prepared the betrothal gifts. Just bring them on the day. You only need to show up."

At this moment, Zhang Yurong, the third daughter-in-law of the Fu family, chimed in: "The fourth son is indeed more shrewd."

Mr. and Mrs. Fu exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with smiles.

Mr. Fu spoke first: "Since you're all prepared, then we won't ask for leave tomorrow."

Next, Mr. Fu asked about Chu Xue's situation. After learning that she had graduated from high school, he thought he would look into whether there was a suitable job for her. After all, the child's household registration would have to follow the mother in the future. If she had an urban household registration, the child wouldn't even have a quota.

Madam Fu was thinking about which of her few remaining pieces of jewelry would be appropriate to give as a marriage proposal gift.
Seeing that things were settled, Fu Yancheng prepared to leave.

Mother Fu asked, puzzled, "Are you going back to the army base tonight?"

Fu Yancheng finished his tea and said, "I still have some official business to attend to."

"Can't we handle this tomorrow? Do we really have to rush back today?"

"I have a field training mission tomorrow, and it will be too rushed to go back tomorrow. I can take the last bus back to the unit without delaying either of us."

Fu's eldest daughter-in-law, Guo Wenjing, smiled and said, "Mom, don't try to persuade me. The fourth son is just worried that the pile of things will affect his marriage proposal this weekend."

After saying that, he burst into laughter. Those who had been through similar experiences understood immediately upon hearing this.

Fu Yan couldn't stand the teasing looks from everyone, but he admitted it directly: "Sister-in-law was right."

After saying that, he strode out.

The people inside the room were left making all sorts of jokes.

Not long after Fu Yancheng left, just as everyone was preparing to go back to their rooms, the phone in the living room rang: "Hello, who is it?"

Yanwan's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Dad, I'm looking for my eldest brother."

Hearing her daughter's voice, and noticing the urgency in it, her heart jumped: "Xiao Wan, what happened?"

"Dad, I need to talk to my older brother. Please let him answer the phone first."

Mr. Fu had no choice but to turn to his eldest son: "Yanming, Xiaowan is looking for you."

Seeing his father's displeased expression, Fu Yanming laughed and said, "It seems my little sister is still closest to me."

These words earned him a sharp glare from Fu's father.

He answered the phone: "Xiao Wan, what do you need your brother for?"

But as soon as he finished asking the question, he realized something: "Do you know something?"

Everyone in the room held their breath, eager to hear what they had to say.
An excited voice came from the other end of the phone: "Brother, I know who my fourth girlfriend is, but it's a pity I missed her today. I didn't get to see what my future fourth sister-in-law looks like."

"Tell me quickly, what happened?"

Fu Yanwan then recounted the familiar figure she had seen earlier that day, and also shared the gossip and speculations she had heard: "Who knows, I might be the first person in our family to meet my future sister-in-law."
