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

Chapter 361 That's a good idea

Mr. and Mrs. Liu led the Fu family and Kong Yizhang on a tour of the village before heading back.

Along the way, villagers would often come up to chat with them, but the Fu couple didn't show any disgust. When they encountered topics that interested them, they would occasionally respond with a few words.

As for Kong Yizhang, he had already gotten the information he wanted after going around, and he was preparing to go out by himself later.

When they arrived home, Liu's father brought out a basket on his back: "You all come inside and rest for a while; the food should be ready soon."

Before he could finish speaking, Fu's father asked, "Father-in-law, what are you going to do?"

Father Liu laughed: "Chu Xue planted a few watermelon seedlings in her private plot. Perhaps because they're new to the land, they've produced quite a few watermelons. Didn't you just say you were going to visit your daughter this afternoon? I'll go pick a few for you to take to her and let her try them."

Now that the marriage was arranged, Mr. Fu did not refuse: "Then I will go with you."

Mother Fu also became interested, and the group did not go into the house, but instead went to their private plot.

As soon as Madam Fu went over, she saw the well: "You dug another well?"

When asked, Liu's mother said, "The nearest well is almost a mile away from our house. Chu Xue suggested digging a well, and thanks to Yan Cheng, we found an expert who came to the reservoir to help us find a location to dig the well."

At first, I was worried that our house was too high up to get water, but it went very smoothly.

Thinking of something, Liu's mother added, "Of course, it's also thanks to my Chuxue. If it weren't for the prize money she received, we probably wouldn't have been able to build a house, let alone dig a well."

Madam Fu had a very good impression of the Liu couple: they were both straightforward and honest.

Upon seeing the vegetables in their private plot, they exclaimed, "These vegetables are grown so well!"

With Chuxue occasionally adding ingredients, it would be difficult for the vegetables not to grow well. However, Chuxue is very measured. At the beginning, she used water diluted with water from the space pool to water the land, but later she used fresh water from the space to water the land.

The vegetables look good, taste good, and besides that, eating them regularly can subtly improve one's health—of course, no one else would know this. Fu's parents actually took a liking to their private plot of land, and without caring whether their clothes or shoes would get dirty, they followed him into the field.

Their eyes lit up when they saw the watermelons and cantaloupes growing on the edge of the field.

Fu's mother said somewhat embarrassedly, "I've only ever eaten watermelon; this is the first time I've ever seen a watermelon growing in the ground."

Laughter could be heard from time to time from the private plot.

Villagers who had just finished work saw what was happening and asked, "Shanliang, Lamei, have relatives come to visit?"

Mother Liu smiled and said, "It's Chu Xue's fiancé who brought his elders to propose marriage."

Someone overheard this and asked, "Then why did you bring people to the field?"

Before Liu's father could answer, Fu's father smiled and said, "I've always lived in the city and know nothing about things in the countryside. Now that I have this opportunity, I'd like to learn more from my in-laws."

Upon hearing what Fu's father said, everyone immediately started chattering: "Well, that's hard to say. Anyway, the city isn't far from our village. Come and experience it when you have time."

And sure enough, Mr. Fu really had this idea in mind: "That's a good idea."

Everyone thought Mr. Fu was joking, so they all laughed.

Only Fu's mother realized that her husband was probably serious.

Afraid that he would come to the countryside whenever he had time, she quickly whispered, "Later, I'll plant vegetables in those two empty flower beds in the yard. If you learn more about growing vegetables today, you can learn to grow them yourself in the yard later."

Mr. Fu laughed: "Well, I must say, this is a good idea."
