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

Chapter 992 Who's so rich and powerful that they rented it?
When Xiao's father saw him coming over at this time, he said, "Yancheng is here. We were just about to start eating. Quickly wash your hands and sit down to eat with us."

After saying that, he turned to Chunxiao and said, "Bring another set of bowls and chopsticks."

Chu Xue had just come out of Du Juan's house: "Why did you come here?"

Just as Fu Yancheng was about to say something, he heard Xiao's father say, "Let's talk about it after we eat."

Xiao's mother also warmly greeted them, saying, "Yes, yes, let's talk about it after we eat."

There was still some mutton left over from the first snowfall at home. When Xiao's father arrived home in the afternoon, Xiao's mother specially asked him to chop it into filling. Tonight, we're having mutton dumplings. There were some leafy greens in the greenhouse in the backyard, so we picked some and made a cold salad.

These days, such meals are a rare treat, so there's no need to prepare food for Fu Yancheng again.

They had made a few extra, intending to freeze them outside in case Xiao's father came home late, so they could make him sour soup dumplings. With Fu Yancheng's help, they ate them all up.

After dinner, Chunxiao volunteered to wash the dishes.

It wasn't that she was particularly diligent, but rather that her family ignored her, making her uneasy, so she had to change her approach.

Fu Yancheng looked at Chu Xue: "I need to talk to you."

Chu Xue pointed to the living room: "Let's go inside and talk."

After watching them enter the living room, Xiao's mother went straight to Dujuan's room and asked, "How are you feeling? Are you feeling better?"

Upon seeing that there were still some dumplings left over from the first snowfall, she asked, "Why are there still some left?"

Du Juan, holding an IV drip bottle filled with hot water, said, "Auntie, I'm fine now, don't worry. The dumplings in the plate are clean; I separated them before I ate them. I can't eat that many."

She glanced out the window and wondered, "Why did I hear my cousin-in-law's voice earlier?"

Xiao's mother smiled and glanced outside: "You heard right, that's your cousin-in-law's voice."

Du Juan suddenly laughed: "My cousin's husband is so good to my cousin. They've only been separated for a short time, and they're already back together." Her eyes were full of envy.

Xiao's mother patted Dujuan's hand: "Don't worry, I've already asked someone to look for a good match for you. I'll definitely find a good one for our Dujuan."

Du Juan blushed upon hearing this: "Auntie, I'm not thinking about finding a partner so early."

Mother Xiao smiled and said, "Then let's search slowly."

Xiao's father didn't go into the living room or stay in the kitchen; instead, he started wiping his bicycle in the yard.

Chunxiao came out to empty the kitchen waste: "Dad, it's so dark and cold outside, why are you wiping the car? Don't you feel cold?"

Xiao's father didn't reply, but instead glanced into the living room.

The two people in the living room had been talking for quite a while: "By the way, didn't you say you came over to tell me something?"

Fu Yancheng glanced outside the courtyard before lowering his voice and saying, "You've already found a tenant for your house."

Upon hearing this, Chu Xue asked happily, "How many rooms have you rented out?"

Seeing that she had misunderstood, Fu Yancheng quickly said, "It's not about renting out rooms one by one, but about renting out the entire courtyard together."

Chu Xue's face flashed with shock: "Who's so rich and powerful as to rent it out?"

Fu Yancheng knew she would have this expression. Afraid that the rest of the family would overhear, he stood up and glanced outside. He saw that only Xiao's father was wiping the car over the wall. He said, "The street office over there was planning to rent the first and second courtyards. Two other Beijing offices also contacted the street office to ask to change locations. Now that the problem is solved, this matter should be settled. The agreement should be signed around the sixth day of the Lunar New Year."

Chu Xue's face was full of joy: "If this matter can really be settled, that would be great. Public institutions will definitely not make unauthorized additions or alterations. This is truly a win-win situation for everyone."
