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

Chapter 797 Xiao Changsheng's Work Arrangements
Seeing that the section chief was in a good mood as he left the office, she then went to make a phone call.

Fortunately, she was lucky; the other end told her to call back in ten minutes.

Less than ten minutes later, the office phone rang: "Hello, who is this?"

Fu Yancheng's voice came from the other end of the phone, and it was clear he had rushed over: "Yancheng, among the tickets you gave me, there were also bicycle tickets, sewing machine tickets, and radio tickets. Did you take the wrong ones?"

When Fu Yancheng heard about this, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Didn't I say before that you can keep the watch among the three turns and one sound that were sent over? You can keep the rest at home. I'll buy another set when we get married."

Chu Xue was a little confused when she heard this: "Are you serious?"

"Of course, the tickets are all with you, how could they be fake? It's my fault for not telling you in time."

"But what if your family found out?"

These days, it's considered quite remarkable for an average family to have one or two of these items. Being able to collect the "three turns and one sound" (referring to a set of three items, a watch, a toy, and a radio) is something that others envy. Not to mention, having two of everything except the watch, it's something that very few families can achieve.

After all, buying these things not only requires money, but the tickets are the hardest to come by. She has no idea where Fu Yancheng got these tickets.

But it goes without saying that they must have put a lot of thought into it.

Fu Yancheng didn't hear Chu Xue speak for a while: "Xue'er, are you still listening?"

Chu Xue's voice choked with emotion: "Yes."

Fu Yancheng understood: "After I finish these few days of work, I will accompany you to buy the things and put them in the courtyard."

It wasn't convenient to talk much over the phone, so Chu Xue replied softly, "I understand. You go ahead and do your thing. I'll hang up now."

Xiao Changsheng's family stayed in the city for two more days before politely declining the old man's offer to stay and preparing to return to the village. During those two days, they discussed the matter several times, and Xiao Changsheng decided to follow his elder brother's advice and take a job as a track maintenance worker at the train station. Although it wasn't easy, it was the only job suitable for him at the moment.

Xiao Changjiang also suggested that he take some time to learn more characters, and that he could find a way to transfer him to an easier position later.

Xiao Changsheng had heard the gossip these past few days, saying that he was the youngest son of the Xiao family who grew up in the countryside and was an illiterate peasant.

To be honest, he felt bad about it, so he made a decision in his heart that he would definitely make time to learn more characters in the future, so that he could at least be transferred to an easier position and not cause trouble for his older brother.

It's agreed that they'll go back and pack their things, and come back to report for duty in a week.

As for where to stay, Grandpa Xiao said he would take care of that.

After sending someone to escort the family away, Grandpa Xiao looked at Miao Yiqiu and said, "I discussed with Changjiang before about transferring the house in Yuru Hutong to Changsheng as compensation for him. What do you think?"

Miao Yiqiu chuckled and said, "Of course I have no objection. That originally belonged to the two brothers, Changjiang and Changsheng. Since Changjiang has no objection, let's do it this way."

I could tell too. They felt uncomfortable living here; they'd be more at ease staying in the other courtyard.

Seeing that she had no objections, Grandpa Xiao immediately made arrangements so that his youngest son's family could move in as soon as they arrived.

On the other hand, when Xiao Changjiang got home at noon, he also mentioned this to his wife Zhang Haitang: "Dad said to let the second son's family live in the house in Yuru Hutong, and I agreed."

Zhang Haitang knew about that courtyard: "Currently, the house at home is indeed big enough, but when the grandchildren get older, this house won't be big enough. I was originally thinking that when my third son comes back from the countryside, I would let him live there."
