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

Chapter 985 You're speaking such blunt truths, it's almost embarrassing.
After Fu Yancheng left, Xiao's father looked at Chuxue and asked, "When do you plan to go over there?"

Chu Xue swallowed the sesame ball in her mouth: "You have to go to work tomorrow, and my mom can't go because of her condition. I was thinking of going over there before I go to work. I promised to support my sister, so I can't go back on my word."

Fearing that Mr. Xiao might overthink things, she changed the subject, saying, "By the way, we haven't told my grandpa and the others about my sister giving birth yet. We also need to let my uncle and aunt know."

Mr. Xiao thought about it and agreed. His wife was pregnant and it was inconvenient for her to go over, and his younger sister probably couldn't either. It seemed that his sister-in-law would have to make the trip: "I'll go to the compound to deliver the message after I finish eating, and then I'll inform your uncle from there."

Chu Xue burst out laughing when she heard his words: "Are you thinking of going to my grandpa's place to mooch a phone call?"

Mr. Xiao coughed lightly but did not answer, thinking to himself: What a blunt truth you've spoken, it's quite embarrassing.

At this moment, Xiao's mother also spoke up: "I can't go in person, but I will definitely prepare more nutritional supplements for her."

Chu Xue knew that Xiao's mother was currently focused on the baby in her womb, so she understood and didn't insist.

When they had finished discussing their business and were almost done eating, Fu Yancheng came back and asked, "You guys actually grew strawberries?"

Chu Xue smiled and said, "It just so happens that I found some seeds. How are they? Aren't they much redder?"

Fu Yancheng stretched out his hand in front of her: "There are quite a few ripe ones. I picked some and ate a few. They tasted sweet and sour, and they were quite good."

Chu Xue took it and said to her, "This stuff is rare. Dad, go pick a small handful and bring it over for Grandpa and the others to try."

He then placed the rinsed strawberries in front of his mother, saying, "Mom, try some and see if you like them?"

This was the first time Xiao's mother had ever eaten this: "It looks so good. I've been farming for so many years, but I've never seen anything like this before."

Chu Xue took one and put it in her mouth: "Hmm, it tastes pretty good. Strawberries are perennial plants. When I planted them, I already planned to let them settle down on that foot."

Because she had other things to do today, Chuxue didn't delay any longer: "Dad, call Chunxiao to come out and wash the dishes. She can't just run around all day. She needs to share the housework so that Mom can have an easier time." Xiao's father agreed: "I know."

After handing another strawberry to Fu Yancheng, Chu Xue said, "I'll pack up, and we'll leave now."

Fu Yancheng gave a soft "hmm": "No rush, take your time."

Xiao's mother looked at Chuxue: "Wait a moment, I'll go make a cup of brown sugar water, you can bring it to Dujuan."

Chu Xue slapped her forehead, realizing she'd been so exasperated by Chun Xiao that she'd forgotten about her cousin: "I knew there was something else! What happened to Du Juan?"

Xiao's mother quickly tugged at Chuxue and got up to make brown sugar water.

After Chu Xue followed, she heard Xiao's mother lower her voice and say, "Du Juan got her period last night. I was almost asleep when she came to get her menstrual pad. She suffered a lot back in her hometown, so she has some menstrual cramps. I told her to sleep in a little longer this morning."

Chu Xue thought to herself that she probably didn't hear it when she entered the space: "Okay, I'll go check it out."

He took the brown sugar water and went to his cousin's door: "Dujuan, are you awake yet?"

Hearing her cousin's voice, Du Juan said somewhat shyly, "Cousin, please wait a moment."

After she lay down yesterday, her stomach hurt more than usual, and she didn't manage to fall asleep until late at night.

Chu Xue quickly said, "Don't rush, take your time. My mom was worried about you, so she sent me over to check on you."
