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

Chapter 438 This is truly a grand gesture.

Grandpa Fu smiled and accepted it: "The ones you sent last time were indeed much tastier than the ones we bought."

Father Liu chuckled and said, "Eat as much as you like. Maybe the newly allocated plot of land is undeveloped, so the fruits and vegetables grown there taste quite good."

He smiled sheepishly, but deep down he still had reservations about what Aunt Fu had said earlier, so he didn't say anything like "take it with you when you leave," making it seem like they were eager to give it to him.

Whether or not to bring it depends on your daughter's opinion.

He hadn't picked many watermelons and cantaloupes these past few days, intending to use them to entertain guests at the engagement ceremony and take some of the rest with him when he left. But now that thought had faded; he just wanted to make sure the guests were well taken care of.

In the kitchen, to avoid future misunderstandings, Fu Yancheng recounted how his aunt had previously tried to match him with the Qi family girl.

Seeing that Chuxue didn't speak, he hurriedly declared, "Chuxue, I swear that I have never been interested in any other woman except you, and I immediately refused when my aunt brought it up."

Chu Xue was also annoyed by these things, so she stopped what she was doing and looked at him very seriously: "Fu Yancheng, listen carefully. I will only say this once. I do like you, but I won't do it without any bottom line. It's not your fault that someone likes you, but if you don't know how to refuse or handle it badly, then that's your fault. If one day they come to me, then we'll part ways amicably."

Upon hearing this, Fu Yancheng's face immediately darkened: "I agree with what you said before, and I will abide by it, but today is our engagement day. How little confidence do you have in me that you would say something like 'let's part amicably'?"

Chu Xue was about to explain when Fu Yancheng put his hand on her shoulder: "I know that saying anything now is just empty talk. Just watch how I behave in the future. Once I've made up my mind, it's for life."

She came from the future and knew that promises were the least reliable thing, but she wasn't one to be pretentious: "Okay, I'll wait and see how you perform."

After all, today is their engagement day, and it would be inappropriate to say anything else.

The clan chief and the village secretary came over and chatted happily with the Fu family. Even after the food was served, they were still reluctant to leave.

Father Liu invited everyone to sit down at the table, the men at one table and the women and children at another. After the opening remarks, everyone began to eat.

After tasting Chu Xue's cooking, Old Master Fu and the rest of the Fu family liked Chu Xue even more, and everyone said that Fu Yancheng was very lucky.

During the meal, everyone toasted and drank, creating a lively atmosphere.

To make up for the displeasure his wife had caused everyone, Uncle Fu was even more proactive and eventually got himself drunk.

With Kong Yizhang mediating at the dinner table and the Fu family's proactive efforts, the previous unpleasantness quickly dissipated.

After the meal, Chuxue brewed a pot of tea for everyone to help them sober up.

Originally, the four members of the Liu family, mother and daughters, were going to wash the dishes, but Fu Yancheng and Qiu Shaofeng took over.

After a few pots of tea, the men's effects of the alcohol had lessened.

At Liu's father's request, the clan chief and the village secretary did not leave immediately. After witnessing the betrothal gifts from the Fu family, the two were astonished, thinking how extravagant the gifts were.

Not only did he receive a brand-new set of three turns and one sound, two new outfits, but he also received 666 yuan, which was unique in their village.

I felt a little unsteady on my feet after leaving Chuxue's house.

Not long after they left, the village was in an uproar. The two men were quite drunk, and even when they were sober, they couldn't keep their mouths shut and blurted out their secrets in their excitement.
