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

Chapter 715 We can't keep indulging her like this.
Chu Xue helped Liu's mother to the main room, where they found the food already on the table.

He then looked at Liu's father.

Before she could even ask, Liu's father spoke up: "Don't look at me like that. Besides cooking porridge and chopping pickled vegetables, I'm really not good at anything else."

That's not him, it must be Fu Yancheng.

Then Fu Yancheng carried in a bowl of rice and vegetables: "Your cooking skills look much better now. When did you learn?"

Fu Yancheng was still a little embarrassed, but it wasn't noticeable because of his wheat-colored skin: "I went to help out in the kitchen when I had nothing to do recently, and naturally I learned a lot."

It's not that I learned a lot, it's that I insisted on learning other people's signature dishes. After being pestered by him until I had no choice, and with his sweet talk, I naturally taught him everything I knew.

I've learned how to make it, but I haven't had many opportunities to practice. However, it's clear that I put my heart into it, and the appearance is quite good. As for the taste, it smells delicious, but I'll have to taste it to know.

Liu's mother beckoned to her niece, "Dujuan, come, sit here."

Seeing her sit down, she looked at Fu Yancheng and said, "Yancheng, you've really had a hard day."

Fu Yancheng smiled and placed a bowl of rice on the table: "I've only learned how to cook it, but I haven't done it many times. I don't know if it suits your taste."

Liu's mother, perhaps from crying for too long, still had swollen eyes: "It looks pretty good."

Fu Yancheng glanced around the courtyard: "Has Chunxiao not returned yet?"

Mr. Liu hummed in agreement: “I’ll go get a bowl and set some food out for her. We don’t need to wait for her.”

Chu Xue then looked at Liu's mother and asked, "Is she like this every day, coming home very late?"

When Liu's mother heard Chuxue's question, she coughed lightly and subconsciously wanted to speak up for Chunxiao: "She is not very good at studying, but she is ambitious and always afraid of falling behind in her studies. So after school, she goes to Old Song's house at the west end of the village to study with that girl for a while before coming back."

"Mom, what time does school end? It's so late already. Does she mean it's school just because she says so?" Liu's mother was a little embarrassed: "I'll ask her more carefully later."

Chu Xue didn't treat Fu Yancheng and Du Juan as outsiders: "I know you feel that you owe us something in the old house. Now that your eldest sister is married and I'm not around, you want to treat Chunxiao better. But have you ever thought that everything has its limits?"

Upon hearing this, Liu's father looked at Liu's mother and said, "Chu Xue is right. One thing at a time. We can't keep indulging her like this. There aren't many girls her age in the village who can go to school. And those who do go to school have to go to gather pig feed to earn work points after school."

"Our circumstances have improved now, but we really can't spoil her too much, otherwise it won't be compensation, but rather harming her."

Seeing that there were understanding people, Chu Xue didn't say anything more, after all, there were some things they might not be unaware of.

Just then, Chuxue's keen hearing detected footsteps down the slope, so she turned and went out the door, heading towards the outside of the courtyard.

Liu's mother was startled: "Chu Xue, where are you going?"

Chu Xue didn't stop walking, saying as she went, "I'll go call Chunxiao back for dinner."

Once outside the gate, she called out down the slope, "Chunxiao."

Sure enough, someone nearby responded, "Second Sister, you're back?"

Upon hearing this question, I knew she must not be in the village after school, otherwise she wouldn't have reacted like this: "Okay, hurry up, dinner is ready, we're just waiting for you."

Perhaps sensing something amiss in her second sister's tone, and feeling guilty herself, she replied, "Okay, I'm coming."

After saying that, he jogged up the slope.
