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

Chapter 650 Any progress on your housing application?
Madam Fu frowned slightly and said in a displeased tone, "The fourth son's fiancée's birthday is in the third month of the lunar calendar. If we don't do it now, when will we? Are we going to do it in the dead of winter?"

Zhang Yurong wanted to refute, but she couldn't find a reason to do so, since no one would choose to do these things in the dead of winter.

Fu Yanhong glared at her: "You're always getting involved."

Seeing her self-respecting man say this, Zhang Yurong muttered softly, "Who am I doing this for? It's all because I feel sorry for you."

But as soon as she finished speaking, Fu's mother said without even looking up, "When you got married, it was the brothers who painted the wedding room together. Now that the fourth son is getting married, it's natural that the brothers will help with the preparations. This is called reciprocity."

Zhang Yurong felt that her mother-in-law was deliberately targeting her, and without thinking, she blurted out, "When is my second brother coming back?"

Before Fu's mother could speak this time, Fu Yanhong slammed his chopsticks on the table: "Are you out of your mind? Listen to what you're saying. What, do you really think the Fu family can't let you go?"

Guo Wenjing helped the children put food into their bowls and added, "Third sister-in-law, if you put it that way, the second son got married in the countryside, and the house there wasn't even furnished."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yurong remembered it and her face immediately burned with embarrassment.

However, this person was quite flexible: "I just said it in the heat of the moment, Mom, please don't take it to heart."

Fu's mother was too lazy to pay attention to her: "I'll just tell you this too. When the fourth son got engaged, the two families agreed that they would get their marriage certificate as soon as the girl's birthday was over, and the date for the banquet would be chosen on an auspicious day nearby. It's going to get cold soon, and painting in winter is too much trouble, and it might not even turn out well."

Zhang Yurong then interjected, "Isn't Fourth Brother coming back to recover from his injuries? If we're cleaning the house, where will he stay?"

This time, Madam Fu was gentle: "We'll let him stay in the second son's room for a few days."

Zhang Yurong wanted to say something, but was stopped by a sharp look from her husband.

At this moment, the eldest son spoke up: "Mom, the second son called me today."

Not wanting her daughter-in-law to laugh at her, Fu's mother said, "We'll talk about this later. Let's eat first." Fu Yanming immediately realized that it was indeed inappropriate to bring this up at this time: "Okay."

After the meal, the two sisters-in-law began to clear the dishes.

Mrs. Fu called her two sons into her room: "Sit down."

Fu Yanming coughed lightly, exchanged a glance with his younger brother, and said, "My second brother called me this morning and said that Xiaoze will be six years old after the New Year. He wants him to go back to the city to get used to life before starting school."

Fu's mother's face turned cold: "Did he mention Hao Yanhong's pregnancy?"

Not wanting to upset his mother, Fu Yanming gave a false explanation: "I guess she felt guilty and didn't mention it."

In fact, Lao Fu Yanwei not only brought it up, but also used a pretext to ask him for tickets, but he didn't agree.

Mother Fu looked at her two sons and said, "You don't need to worry about the second son's matter. Your father will deal with them when we come back for the New Year."

Thinking of something, he looked at his boss and asked, "Any progress on your housing application?"

Fu Yanming shook his head: "There isn't anyone who meets the requirements for the time being. I'll have to wait until that colleague finishes his transfer procedures before I can move in. But right now, that colleague has some family matters to attend to and probably won't be able to leave for a while. I'm afraid the housing issue will have to wait until after the New Year."

Fu's mother glanced out the window and said, "Your father and I have discussed it. After the fourth son gets married and returns to his parents' home, we will separate the family and have a few days of peace and quiet."

Fu Yanming originally wanted to say he didn't want to separate the family, but when he thought about moving out with his wife and children, he felt that it would be hypocritical to bring it up again. He sighed and agreed to the matter.
