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

Chapter 943: A single sentence left Chunxiao incredibly embarrassed.
On the way home, Chunxiao kept trying to make conversation with Xiao Wanpeng.

However, Xiao Wanpeng didn't seem interested in the topics she brought up, and his answers were as perfunctory as could be. But he always managed to find topics to chat about with Chu Xue.

This made Chunxiao feel very uncomfortable.

She was looking forward to graduating soon, so that she could find a job in the city like her second sister, and then see if he would still treat her differently based on her status.

As they approached the compound, Xiao Wanpeng turned around to call out to Chunxiao, who was walking behind him, but he caught a glimpse of her expression, which made him frown immediately: "Chunxiao, what's wrong?"

Chunxiao mentally berated herself: "I've been feeling a bit feverish these past few days, and my gums are a little inflamed."

Although Xiao Wanpeng still had doubts, he didn't say anything more: "Since your gums are inflamed, you should eat less peanuts and melon seeds from now on."

Chunxiao never expected that her casually made-up excuse would deprive her of even the chance to eat peanuts and melon seeds, and she felt extremely depressed.

When I first arrived at my grandfather's place, I saw sunflower seeds and peanuts on the coffee table. I was thinking of sitting down and having some when I heard them saying they were going to my aunt's place. I should have just grabbed a handful and put them in my pocket.

When the three returned to the courtyard, Miao Yiqiu said with a smile, "You should sit down and rest, have some fruit and peanuts or something. The meal will be ready soon."

Chunxiao glanced at the people in the room, reached out and picked up an orange to eat. Perhaps feeling that peanuts and melon seeds shouldn't be eaten too much, she ate several oranges in a row.

Xiao Wanpeng didn't know if he was genuinely concerned about her or doing it on purpose: "Chunxiao, oranges can easily cause internal heat. You have inflamed gums, so eat fewer oranges."

Upon hearing this, Chunxiao looked at the orange she had just picked up, unsure whether to eat it or put it down: "So that's what they mean. I was thinking that my second sister said fruits contain vitamins and that eating more of them is good for your health."

Xiao Wanpeng didn't expect her to say that, but he still said seriously, "That depends on the type of fruit."

Finally, she added, "Dinner is about to be served. You ate too many oranges, so you'll still be able to eat your meal later."

One sentence made Chunxiao extremely embarrassed.

Upon hearing this, Aunt Xiao added, "He really is behaving like an older brother." This almost made Chunxiao want to vomit.

Chu Xue almost burst out laughing when she saw her expression.

Fortunately, Miao Yiqiu came out and said to everyone, "The food is on the table. Everyone wash your hands and get ready to eat."

Upon hearing this, Grandpa Xiao said to his eldest grandson, "Wancheng, go and set off the firecrackers."

After a series of crackling sounds, everyone took their seats.

Grandpa Xiao raised his glass first: "This year is of extraordinary significance to our family. We have finally found our second son, Changsheng. Our family is finally reunited. Even when I go to the underworld, I can finally face your mother with peace of mind."

Come on, let's raise a glass together, wishing us a prosperous and peaceful future.

Everyone was saying auspicious words, and their faces were all smiles.

After saying that, Grandpa Xiao gestured for everyone to start eating.

Seeing that her eldest granddaughter-in-law was having trouble feeding the child, Miao Yiqiu got up and went to the kitchen to get a small bowl and spoon: "Limin, put Panxia's favorite food into the small bowl and let her eat with the spoon."

Jiang Limin took it and said to her daughter Xiao Panxia beside her, "Thank you, Aunt Zeng."

The little girl said in a clear voice, "Thank you, Aunt Zeng."

Miao Yiqiu smiled and pinched the little girl's cheek: "You're welcome. Tell Mom and Dad what Pan Xia likes to eat, and they'll get it for you."

Chunxiao had just swallowed the meatball in her mouth when she asked, "Big sister-in-law, how did you come up with the name Panxia?"
