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

Chapter 760 What kind of older sister is she?

Miao Yiqiu tried to knock on the study door several times, but her raised hand never came down.

Looking up at the clock on the wall not far away, he sighed inwardly and knocked on the study door: "Yude, it's getting late. We're going to Changping tomorrow. If you don't get enough rest, you won't have the energy to see Lao Er tomorrow."

Grandpa Xiao put away the photo, got up and opened the study door: "You're right."

The two entered the bedroom one after the other.

Miao Yiqiu said softly, "I've tidied up all the rooms upstairs so that the second son's family can have enough room when they come back. But you should tell Changjiang and his wife about this tomorrow."

"Let's go and see them first. The second son is about to become a grandfather, so he might not come back with us."

After a moment's thought, he continued, "This is what I'm thinking: if they agree, it's fine for them to stay here for a short time, but it might be inconvenient for them to stay long-term. I'm afraid they won't be able to handle the people in the compound. It would be better to buy them a house in the city so they can live more comfortably."

Miao Yiqiu knew that he wanted to make it up to his second son, so she naturally couldn't stop him: "It's only right, I have no objection. After all, he didn't grow up by your side and suffered so much. It's right that you want to make it up to him. However, it's best to talk to the eldest son and his wife about this in advance. We can't let this cause a rift between you and your sons."

Grandpa Xiao glanced at her sideways: "You should know what kind of person the eldest son is. He wouldn't be so petty as to argue with his own brother about these things."

"Is that what I meant? It's true that Changjiang and the others are brothers, but Changjiang is already a grandfather with a wife, children, and grandchildren. It's best to let them know in advance about some things. Think about it carefully, isn't that the truth?"

It took Old Master Xiao a while to speak: "Alright, we've gone a bit too far off. Let's see the person first before we talk about anything else."

The next day, Chunxiao was quite energetic and got up early.

She swept the yard and even cleaned the area outside the gate, something she'd never done before. Chu Xue helped Liu's mother prepare breakfast and went out to call Chunxiao and Liu's father, who was chopping wood behind the house: "Breakfast is ready."

Everyone ate breakfast with different feelings.

After helping to tidy up the kitchen, Chu Xue packed the dirty clothes from the house and the sheets and pillowcases that Liu's parents had changed out of in their room into a basket, and took out a mat woven from corn husks: "Mom, I'm going to wash clothes in the stream behind the house."

Worried that she wouldn't be able to handle the Xiao family when they arrived, Liu's mother said, "Leave these for now, I'll wash them later."

Chu Xue patted her hand: "They'll be here from the city, it'll take them a while. By the time they get here, I'll have finished washing these clothes. It's not convenient for you to wash clothes in the river now that you're pregnant."

Upon hearing this, Liu's mother looked down at her belly and said, "Let Chunxiao come with you; it will be faster."

Just then, Chunxiao came in from outside the gate: "Why do you have to wash the clothes today? You want my second sister to go alone? I'm not going."

Chu Xue also lost her temper. She picked out Chunxiao's clothes from the basket and threw them at her feet: "Wash your own clothes. Mom is pregnant now. I hope you will be more considerate in the future and wash your own clothes."

After saying that, he picked up his basket and said, "Mom, I'm going now."

Chunxiao hadn't expected her second sister to have absolutely no patience for her now. Whatever she said, she just threw it at her: "Mom, look at my second sister, what kind of older sister is she?"
