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

Chapter 987 Why does that back view look so familiar?
The two shopped around and bought quite a few things.

Chu Xue was more cautious and didn't send these things directly to the Fu family, nor did she bring them back to the Xiao family. Instead, she sent them to the small courtyard they had bought not far from the Fu family.

After putting the things away, Fu Yancheng said, "Someone will come over in a few days to help repair this house. Do you have any requests?"

I had seen the house before the first snow, and there weren't many things that needed to be changed: "Since it needs to be renovated, could we ask them to put in some effort to build the bathroom?"

After saying that, she glanced around the yard and said, "Why don't we tear down that makeshift shed on the west side and rebuild it into a house? We can turn the inner room into a bathroom and the outer room into a toilet. Then we can connect it to the outside drainage system, which will save us a lot of trouble."

Upon hearing her words, Fu Yancheng frowned slightly and said, "I'm afraid that won't work."

Chu Xue looked up and asked, "Why?"

Fu Yancheng coughed lightly: "The external drainage pipes are just the daily water pipes for each courtyard. Some of them are discharged into the sewage treatment plant, but some are discharged into natural water bodies."

Chu Xue slapped her forehead. How could she have been so confused? This wasn't the future. The kitchen and bathroom water pipes were two separate, independent systems. Right now, all the courtyards still had crowded public toilets, and someone would clean them regularly.

Just as she was worrying, she heard Fu Yancheng say, "However, it's not without a solution, it's just..."

Before he could finish speaking, Chu Xue said, "Speak quickly, I want to hear it."

Fu Yancheng pointed to the simple shed that Chu Xue had mentioned before: "We can tear down that place and rebuild a bathroom and toilet as you said, but the toilet has to be a dry toilet, and its location has to be moved to the back. We can put two large urns underneath it."

Chu Xue is a very smart person. In her past life, she went to the countryside to attend a colleague's wedding and even used the village's dry toilet: "Okay, but I have a few requirements."

Fu Yancheng smiled and said, "Go ahead."

Chu Xue finally managed to explain her request through a combination of words and gestures: "I just want the bottom to be sloping. That shouldn't be too difficult, right?"

Fu Yancheng nodded and said, "It shouldn't be a big problem. We'll open a small door at the back later, so people can just use the small door at the back to empty the latrines."

After agreeing on the terms, the two locked the door and prepared to leave. Fu Yancheng glanced at the street corner and asked, "Want to come in for a bit?"

Chu Xue waved her hand and said, "I'd better not go. Du Juan isn't feeling well, and my mother is pregnant. I'd better go back."

Fu Yancheng didn't insist: "Okay, then I'll take you back."

The two walked out talking, unaware that Zhang Yurong was coming from the other end.

As Zhang Yurong watched the two figures walk away, she thought to herself: Why do their backs look so familiar?

However, seeing that the person quickly disappeared around the corner, she didn't linger and hurried home.

As soon as I entered the courtyard, I saw my mother-in-law sweeping the yard: "Mom, my fourth brother and his wife are here?"

Mrs. Fu straightened up: "No, why do you ask that?"

Zhang Yurong looked at him with an expression that said, "Then maybe I saw it wrong."

After saying that, he saw red paper scraps all over the garden and asked, "What's going on here?"

Mother Fu pointed to the children in the living room: "They've ruined all that red paper, and now they've given me something to do."

Zhang Yurong looked towards the entrance of the main house: "Where are my elder brother and sister-in-law?"

Madam Fu naturally wouldn't tell them that they had gone to deliver a thank-you gift to the person in charge of allocating housing at the factory: "The two of them went out on business."

After finishing her sentence, Madam Fu asked, "You and Yan Hong didn't go out together, so where is he?"
