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

Chapter 643 We call this mutual benefit
Perhaps due to the influence of the space, the first snowflake is very sensitive to people's sense of good and evil.

She had a good impression of the older woman in front of her: "Okay, ma'am."

Upon hearing this, the old woman knew that the girl must have cloth coupons. Without saying a word, she pulled Chuxue out of the crowd and said, "Come on, come on, come on, come with me to my house. I guarantee you'll be satisfied."

On the way to her aunt's house, Chu Xue learned that her aunt's youngest son had taken a liking to a girl and that the betrothal ceremony was to be held in a few days. However, they hadn't yet gathered enough fabric for the two sets of clothes, and the whole family had been in a great hurry these past few days: "Girl, you have really helped my family a lot."

Chu Xue didn't think she was helping anyone: "Auntie, this is called mutual benefit."

The old woman was even more impressed with the girl because she didn't take credit for herself: "You're such a good talker, girl. You're clearly a cultured person."

The two chatted and laughed, and soon arrived at the old lady's house.

As soon as they entered the courtyard, the old lady led Chuxue straight to the backyard, pointing to the chickens in the coop and saying, "Your family raises chickens very carefully. My grandchildren not only cut grass, but also often catch earthworms and grasshoppers to feed them. They are all very fat."

Looking around, Chu Xue realized that the old woman wasn't lying; the chickens in the coop were all quite plump.

Both were straightforward people, and they quickly reached a deal.

The old woman saw that Chu Xue was straightforward and suited her personality well: "Young lady, what is your name?"

Chu Xue smiled and said, "Auntie, my surname is Liu and my given name is Chu Xue. You can call me Xiao Liu or Chu Xue."

The old woman smiled and said, "Then I'll call you Chuxue. If you need anything in the future, just come to my house. If we don't have it, I'll find someone else to get it for you."

Chu Xue naturally wouldn't refuse, since she was bound to come and accompany the army after the wedding, and she would inevitably have to make a show of it by coming to the village to exchange some things.

I get along well with this old lady, so if I really need anything, I can just come and exchange with her. "Okay, ma'am, please take care of me in the future." The old lady smiled when she heard Chuxue's words. "Wait here, I have some dried mushrooms at home. I'll go and get you a handful. You can use them to make chicken soup or stir-fry them. They'll taste great in them."

Chu Xue wanted to refuse, but the old lady walked into the house in a few steps.

A moment later, he brought out a handful of dried mushrooms: "I cleaned and prepared these mushrooms before drying them. You can just soak them in water and eat them. They're very fragrant."

They've already brought it out; it would be a bit pretentious to refuse now.

However, she didn't like to take advantage of others. After putting away the dried mushrooms, Chu Xue took out a few fruit candies from her pocket: "Auntie, I accept your kindness. Keep these candies to sweeten your mouth."

The old woman was a little embarrassed, but she needed sugar coupons to buy candy, which were very rare in the village: "This is a good thing, so I'll accept it without hesitation."

She thought that her children hadn't had candy in a long time, so she decided to share some sweets with them.

She put the candy away and smiled at Chuxue: "My husband's surname is Liao, so just call me Aunt Liao. If you need anything in the future, feel free to come to my house."

As he spoke, he picked a lot of scallions and cilantro that he had planted in front of his house, tied them up with some wild herbs, and handed them to Chuxue: "Take these, they'll enhance the flavor."

Chu Xue thanked the person before leaving with her things.

I also stopped by the military service center on the way and bought some garlic before returning to the hospital cafeteria.

I rented a large clay pot from the canteen, put the chicken on the stove, and asked the woman next door who was stewing fish soup to watch the stove. I went out again and came back with a few pounds of flour, which I planned to make chicken noodle soup for Fu Yancheng.
