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

Chapter 239 After the housewarming banquet, shall I have my family come over to propose marriage?

Seeing that the first snow brought back wheat, Liu's mother took over the task of grinding wheat.

In the afternoon after the first snow, I went to the commune's liquor workshop and bought ten catties of sorghum liquor to use at the housewarming banquet.

People around here tend to be quite fond of alcohol, so she made sure to prepare extra as a backup.

Liu's father also contacted some families he got along well with, asking to borrow their bowls, plates, chopsticks, tables, and chairs.

Chunxiao hasn't been idle these past few days since she came back. A few days ago, she brought back six chicks from the Ge family, a family from out of town, and settled them in their new house. Every day after school, she takes Zhuifeng to cut the tenderest lamb's quarters, dandelion, and sow thistle. They also dig for earthworms and catch grasshoppers.

The whole family is very busy, but everyone is enjoying it.

With the blessing of the First Snow Space Pool, Liu's father's leg has almost recovered, but the First Snow still makes her use crutches.

Liu's mother's complexion has improved a lot recently, and the minor ailments she used to have have also disappeared. A few days ago, she told Chuxue, "I feel much better. Before, my legs and feet were always ice cold in the summer, and they would even feel stiff in the winter. But these days, things have improved a lot. Most importantly, my period is not as difficult as before."

Chu Xue naturally knew why: "It's probably because life isn't as stressful as before, and the food is much better now. My body has recovered from the damage it suffered before, which is a great thing."

Even my younger sister has grown taller because of the pond. Not only has her face become fairer, but her hair has also become shinier, no longer the yellow hair she used to have.

Soon it was the fifth day of the lunar new year. Early in the morning, Chu Xue carried a basket on her back and went into the mountains. With the help of her mental strength and physical strength, she caught three pheasants and destroyed a rabbit burrow in no time. In total, she got four big rabbits and seven small rabbits.

I'm thinking of letting the baby rabbits breed on the mountain in my space, and then bringing the adult rabbits back to add to my meals.

Luckily, we found a lot of black fungus on the mountain, which means we can add another cold dish to our menu.

It was almost noon when she finally descended the mountain. From afar, she saw a green figure coming up the mountain. Upon closer inspection, it was none other than Fu Yancheng. As she hurried down the mountain, she waved to the people below, saying, "Fu Yancheng, I'm here."

When Fu Yancheng saw the girl he had been longing for, he started running, not forgetting to shout to Chu Xue, "Slow down, don't fall."

As she got closer, Chu Xue asked, "Are you done with your work?"

Fu Yancheng smiled and hummed in agreement: "I came to see you as soon as I finished my work. I didn't expect to come at such a good time. Tomorrow is the housewarming party, so I can stay and help out."

"Oh, by the way, my sister and brother-in-law are here. My brother-in-law is helping to build a temporary stove for cooking tomorrow at the new house. I saw there were quite a few people helping, so I came up the mountain to find you."

Seeing that no one was around, Fu Yancheng boldly put his arm around the person and asked, "Did you miss me?"

Although Chu Xue had seen a lot in her later life, she was still taken aback by this person's strong embrace and stammered, "Yes, I have."

Fu Yancheng was overjoyed to receive the answer he wanted: "Xue'er, may I call you that?"

Chu Xue gave a soft "hmm".

Then Fu Yancheng said, "After the housewarming banquet, shall I have my family come over to propose marriage?"

Chu Xue jumped out of Fu Yancheng's arms: "Didn't I tell you before, I'm not even eighteen weeks old yet?"

Fu Yancheng quickly explained, "Don't worry, I haven't forgotten what you said before. I just wanted to settle things first, and then get married when you reach the legal age. That way, it will be more legitimate for me to come to the village to find you later. Is that alright?"
