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

Chapter 445 I was wrong.

Looking up, I saw my eldest sister, Xia Qiu, standing in the yard, carrying her crossbody bag: "Big sister, are you going back today?"

Xia Qiu smiled and approached her when she saw her return: "Yes, there's a lot of work to be done at the farm these days, so it's not good to take too much leave."

At that moment, she also noticed the dressing case in Chu Xue's hand: "Where did this come from?"

"It was a gift from Ji-won."

"She's so pretty. That girl is really thoughtful."

"She said she asked her uncle to make them for her, and he made a pair. She gave me one as a congratulatory gift."

“You two have been close since childhood, I never expected that she would beat me, her own sister, to it.”

As the two were chatting and laughing, Liu's mother came out of the house: "Qiu, this kimchi was made before the first snow. I don't know where she learned it from. I find it quite refreshing. Take it back and chew on it when you feel bland. It's best to have it with porridge."

Xia Qiu laughed and said, "The first snow must be pretty good. I'll learn from it later."

Chu Xue helped carry it outside: "If you like it, I'll come over and brew you a pot later. It's not difficult; you can learn it by watching me do it once."

Xia Qiu followed her outside and said with a smile, "Then it's settled."

"Okay, when I come back next time, I'll take the meat processing plant's car directly to the farm, soak it for you, and then come back."

Qiu Shaofeng saw his father-in-law carrying out a basket of vegetables: "Dad, we have vegetables at home, so we won't bring any."

Liu's father, however, did not listen to him: "Xia Qiu is pregnant now, and all I brought were things that can be eaten raw. It'll be good for her to have as snacks later."

Upon hearing that his father-in-law had brought it for his wife, he couldn't refuse any longer and quickly took it, saying, "This is heavy, I'll carry it."

Liu's mother handed Xia Qiu a package of oiled paper: "These are pancakes. They'll be good for a snack if you get hungry in the middle of the night. It's hot, so don't let them spoil."

"I know, with my current appetite, I can't save any money even if I wanted to." He laughed as he said this.

Chu Xue helped Xia Qiu into the cart, and Qiu Shaofeng stepped forward and led the mule: "Dad, you get in the cart, I'll lead it."

Father Liu waved his hand: "You can just sit with me on the carriage shaft. This mule is very docile, don't worry."

After giving Xia Qiu a few more instructions, Liu's father finally drove off.

They watched the mule cart drive away before turning their gaze away.

Meanwhile, Qiu asked, "Mom, are my eldest brother and sister-in-law coming back tonight?"

Qiu's mother was busy in the kitchen: "When you left this morning, your eldest brother and sister-in-law said they were coming back."

Qiu Shaocheng walked in just then: "Mom, should I go greet them?"

Mother Qiu looked up: "This morning, my father-in-law picked them up in a mule cart. He will definitely bring them back. If you're worried, just go out along the road to meet them."

At this moment, the newly married second daughter-in-law, An Xiaojing, spoke up: "When I came back from work, I heard someone say that Yanwan's family came to the farm. Why didn't my eldest brother and sister-in-law ride back with them?"

Mother Qiu glanced at her second daughter-in-law: "It's fine if you only have Chu Xue as a potential partner on ordinary days, but this time there will definitely be a lot of people coming, so you naturally need to be more discerning."

An Xiaojing said somewhat awkwardly, "Mom, I didn't mean anything by it, I misunderstood."

At this moment, Qiu's mother stood up: "I know, but I just want to tell you that not all benefits are worth taking. At the very least, you have to be discerning. Besides, it's rare for your sister-in-law to come back, so naturally she wants to talk to her family. What kind of day is it today? Your mother-in-law will definitely not be able to take care of her this morning."

An Xiaojing smiled as her mother-in-law explained, "Mom, you're right. I'll definitely be more careful from now on."

Seeing that her second daughter-in-law had taken her words to heart, Qiu's mother smiled.
