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

Chapter 960 Father-in-law Visits
When someone sends you a bowl of meat as a favor, and you complain that there's not enough meat, even if it was just a casual remark, it will taste different to the person who heard it.

However, this is also good, because they will no longer feel burdened when they cook for others. At most, they will send a small bowl to Grandma Qiu, who is not in good health, every few days. After all, she is old and can eat a lot, and if they give her too much, it will probably end up in someone else's stomach.

Qiu Shaofeng arrived at the educated youth settlement and soon after, he replaced all the other residents.

Qiu Shaofeng was extremely satisfied with the half-pound of brown sugar, half a pack of White Rabbit milk candy, and a few cloth coupons he had exchanged. He walked with a swagger, as these were all good things. His wife was nearing her due date, and these precious items would be perfect for nourishing her body during her postpartum period.

He hadn't walked far from the educated youth settlement when he heard the sound of a car. He instinctively moved to the side, but the car didn't drive over.

He turned his head and saw that it was his future brother-in-law driving the car: "Yancheng, what are you doing here?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than he saw his sister-in-law sticking her head out from the back seat: "Brother-in-law, my dad and my second sister are here too."

He then remembered what Fu Yanwan had said and realized that he had been so happy with what he had just received that he had completely lost his mind: "Oh dear, look at me, Yanwan said you might come over this afternoon, but I was so excited that I forgot."

When Chu Xue heard her brother-in-law say this, she didn't know what to say to him. If it were anyone else, they would probably have found fault with him, but he was just grinning.

Seeing the basket on his back, and remembering that he had just been selected from among the educated youth, I guessed what was going on: "Brother-in-law, get in the car, I'll give you a ride back."

Qiu Shaofeng quickly waved his hand: "No need, no need, it's inconvenient for me to carry a basket. You go first, I'll be there soon."

He was ready; as soon as the car left, he would run home.

Fu Yancheng stopped the car, put the basket in the trunk, and opened the back door: "Get in. It's a while. Chuxue said that my eldest sister's due date is in the next few days, so you should stay with her." Hearing this, Qiu Shaofeng no longer refused.

He awkwardly got into the car, greeted his father-in-law, and then looked around the car with excitement. Although he had ridden in a jeep once before when he met his father-in-law, he was still very curious to ride in it again.

Before the car even reached the Qiu family's house, a child ran off to report: "Uncle Shaofeng is in a car! Uncle Shaofeng is coming back in a car!"

Hearing the sound, Xia Qiu was helped out by Yan Wan. When she saw her father, her eyes reddened for some reason: "Dad, you're here. Second sister, brother-in-law, little sister, come in quickly."

Mr. Xiao carried the things he had prepared at home: two pieces of cotton cloth, two cans of food, and about two kilograms of rice into the yard.

Mr. and Mrs. Qiu rushed out at this moment: "Our in-laws are here, come in and sit down."

These days, the in-laws are different from before. They've heard that they now work on the railway. Although they're just linemen, they're permanent employees from the start. They've even settled down in the city, and their eldest son says the house is just as nice as the one in the village. They even used to have their own room there.

I heard from my son early this morning that my father-in-law was going back to the village for a wedding banquet and that he would probably come over, so I waited for him after lunch.

After inviting him into the house, Qiu Shaofeng chatted with his father-in-law for a while, then picked up the chicken and said, "Dad, please sit down. I'll go and prepare the chicken and stew it for Xia Qiu. You can have a bowl of it later too."

How could Mr. Xiao compete with his daughter for food? He said, "You can stew it for Xia Qiu, we won't eat it."
