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

Chapter 895 You're always making a fuss over nothing.
After finishing their meal and while clearing the dishes, Chunxiao suddenly asked, "Second Sister, didn't you say you were going to Inner Mongolia to see if you could get some milk powder? Where is it?"

Upon hearing this, Mr. Xiao immediately lost his temper: "You're always making a fuss over nothing, what's it to you?"

Chu Xue scoffed coldly: "You said it yourself, I went to Inner Mongolia to see if I could get some milk powder. I didn't see any, so of course I didn't get any. Is there any need to ask?"

Chunxiao didn't expect her father and second sister to directly attack her: "I was just asking, why are you talking about me like that?"

Chu Xue stared coldly at her: "Just focus on your studies and stop thinking about causing trouble all the time. Even if you are my sister, my patience has its limits. Don't always try to have your cake and eat it too."

She said it on purpose because after Chunxiao said those words, Xiao's mother kept looking around, which made her feel very uncomfortable.

Before they could say anything more, she said, "On the second night after we arrived, we were attacked by a pack of wolves on the grassland. We barely made it back to the herders' settlement safely, but the sky was overcast and it looked like it was going to snow at any moment. We only had half a day to load the trucks and then we took a quick look around. We didn't have time to ask about the milk powder at all. As soon as we set off, it started snowing. You really are my good sister."

That was quite sarcastic.

Upon hearing his daughter's words, Xiao's father's eyes reddened. He had heard from his coworkers that the worst thing about traveling on the grasslands was encountering wolves, and escaping alive was a matter of life and death. Thinking of what his daughter had suffered, he choked up, "Xue, you..."

Chu Xue was very tired: "Dad, it's all over now. I'm back safe and sound. Don't worry about it too much. I'm a little tired and want to rest early."

He handed the cheese on the cabinet to Xiao's mother: "Keep these cheeses safe. They are the product of milk fermentation and concentration. The protein and fat content is much higher than that of milk powder, and the nutrients are more easily absorbed by the human body. They are also good for gut health. Keep them for yourself."

After saying that, she didn't look at Chunxiao again, but turned to Fu Yancheng: "It's getting late, you should go back and rest early too."

Fu Yancheng nodded: "I'll come pick you up for work tomorrow morning." Xiao's father looked surprised and said, "You have to go to work tomorrow? Aren't you supposed to get time off after a business trip?"

As Chu Xue walked out, she said, "After working a few more days, the factory will be closed for the Chinese New Year. Tomorrow, they will be distributing the New Year's benefits. I also have something to report to the section chief. I'll just collect the benefits and then I won't go over before the New Year."

Mr. Xiao thought about it and agreed: "Alright, you should get some rest."

Chu Xue nodded: "I'll go see Yan Cheng off."

Mr. Xiao naturally wouldn't stop him, and turned to let Chunxiao clear the dishes.

As soon as the two stepped out of the gate, Fu Yancheng pulled her into his arms: "Xue'er, thank goodness you're alright. I was so worried about you. If you hadn't come back, I was going to drive over to look for you. Thank goodness you're back safe and sound."

Chu Xue could sense that he was genuinely afraid, because his body was trembling slightly: "I'm back safe and sound. Besides, I'm not alone. And you know my skills best, don't worry. Although I wouldn't dare to be arrogant, I can still protect myself."

Fu Yancheng hugged her even tighter: "It's precisely because I know your skills that I'm even more afraid. I know your personality best. If things really get out of control, you definitely won't abandon me. Xue'er, promise me that if you ever encounter danger again, you must ensure your own safety first."

First Snow gave a heavy "Mmm": "Okay, I promise you."
