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

Chapter 909 So much stuff, where will you all sit later?

Mr. Xiao smiled as he propped up his bicycle: “I was just thinking that Yancheng would be coming over at noon, so I arranged to make some time with my coworkers. I’ll keep an eye on things for him a little longer tomorrow, and he can come over later.”

Hearing this, Fu Yancheng felt a sense of being valued, which made him even more elated: "Uncle, I still have a few packs of good cigarettes in my car. You can take them over and share them with your coworkers later."

Mr. Xiao smiled broadly upon hearing this, but declined, saying, "No need, no need, you can keep it for your own social occasions."

But as they were talking, Fu Yancheng had already walked out of the courtyard.

A moment later, he came in with a pack of Hongtashan cigarettes and two packs of Mudan cigarettes: "Take these and smoke them."

Now that everything was brought in, it would be insincere for Mr. Xiao to refuse again. He reached out and took it with a smile, saying, "Oh my, this is really good cigarette. I've only heard people talk about it before, but this is the first time I've ever seen it."

Xiao Wanpeng chimed in, "Peony is a cigarette from Shanghai. This Red Peony costs 51 cents a pack, Second Uncle. This cigarette is high-end. Hongtashan is from Yunnan. It has highland characteristics, a rich aroma, and a moderate strength. It's also a high-end cigarette. If you share this cigarette, people will be extremely envious."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Xiao picked up the three packs of cigarettes and examined them closely. “My coworkers have all been very good to me. Since I have these good cigarettes, I should naturally share them with them. The rest can be saved to entertain guests during the New Year.”

After saying that, she looked up at Fu Yancheng and said, "Then I'll keep it."

The head of the Cheng family next door happened to be passing by the Xiao family's gate and overheard their conversation: "Brother Xiao, your daughter hasn't even married into the family yet, and she's already enjoying the blessings of her future son-in-law. What a blessing!"

Upon hearing the voice, Mr. Xiao looked over and said, "Oh, I love hearing you say that. Come on, have a smoke and share in my good fortune."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Baiqiu had no choice but to accept the peony offered by Xiao's father, her face full of smiles: "Look, I just said one more word, and I've already benefited from your good fortune. I'm sure I'll have a good New Year."

The two chatted for a few minutes when a shout came from the Cheng family's courtyard: "Alright, that's enough. You've already benefited from their good fortune. Do you want to freeload off them?"

Cheng Baiqiu burst into laughter: "Then what kind of person am I?"

He looked at Xiao's father and said, "Alright, brother, I'm going back to eat now. You should come in too. Let's keep in touch more often in the future." He had only paid a visit when he first moved in, and they were just nodding acquaintances after that. He never expected that a cigarette today would bring them closer.

Mr. Xiao was even happier.

If he didn't have to go to work in the afternoon, he would definitely have a drink with his son-in-law and nephew.

On the other side, Xiao Changjiang and his wife finally got off the train.

Xiao Wanli saw that his parents had brought so much stuff: "Mom and Dad, why did you bring so much stuff?"

Aunt Xiao looked at her son, who had become darker and thinner, and felt extremely distressed. She didn't even bother to answer her son's question: "Third son, are you not eating well here? Why have you lost so much weight?"

Xiao Wanli smiled and reached out to hug his mother: "You've lost some weight, but haven't you noticed how much more muscular I've become?"

Uncle Xiao thanked the flight attendant who had helped him, then looked at his son and said, "He's definitely gotten stronger, and he seems to have grown taller too."

Just as I was about to say something more, I heard someone say, "Oh dear, your package is blocking the way."

While apologizing, Xiao Changjiang said, "We'll leave now."

After saying that, he gestured for his son to quickly move the things.

After all the things were moved outside, the driver who had come to pick them up from Xiao Wanli asked, "Why are there so many things? Where will you sit later?"
