Chapter 47 Military Gift

Chen Yao watched their conversation with a smile, and felt that this was the happiest day since they came here.

Su Fugui was still glaring at Li Zichen angrily.

Li Zichen smiled slyly, "Dad, go clean up the room quickly. I want to go clean up with Lele too."

Chen Yao smiled and walked forward to pull Su Fugui, and they went to clean together.

Su Le asked, "Li Zichen, if I want to go back to Red Star Village, can I still go back?"

Li Zichen nodded, "Okay. You are not my appendage, you can do what you want."

Su Le was surprised by how avant-garde this man's ideas seemed. Quite impressive. As expected of a soldier.

"You don't have to take what my dad said seriously." Su Le thought about what Su Fugui had just said about him marrying into the family.

Li Zichen put down his work seriously and said, "I'm serious. You are my wife, so naturally I will be wherever you are."

Su Le didn't respond, he just felt his heart skip a beat, as if something was about to pop out.

Li Zichen sighed and continued working.

The Su family compound was so huge that the four of them spent half a day cleaning, but they only cleaned two rooms, the kitchen, the toilet, and the bathroom.

By nine or ten o'clock, Su Fugui, Su Le and Chen Yao were too tired to work and didn't even cook. Li Zichen made some noodles. After they had a simple meal, they quickly washed up and went to bed.

The next day.

Xu Hu took his two younger brothers to the address Su Le had given him before. After knocking for a long time, no one came. It was the aunt next door who told Xu Hu the new address.

Xu Hu bought some things and knocked on the door. Su Le guessed that it might be what he had asked the aunt to do yesterday, and the workman came!

Su Le happily opened the door. Xu Hu stood there in a daze, grinning innocently. "Sister-in-law? Isn't this my mother's house?" He took a step back, walked two steps to the left and right, and looked at the door plaque. "That's right! Isn't this my mother's house?"

Li Zichen also came out and pulled them in, "Don't talk at the door, come in."

Xu Hu nodded, confused.

Su Le also took the opportunity to change into clothes, put on some makeup, and brought a bottle of makeup remover oil.

Xu Hu's eyes lit up, "Mom! You're really here, I thought I came to the wrong place. That supply and marketing cooperative... at... that place..." His words became smaller and smaller, and his mouth opened wider and wider.

With a head of white hair and a beautiful face, she seemed even more beautiful than the last time they met. "This, this, this..." Xu Hu's subordinates were also confused.

Su Fugui and Chen Yao still don't understand who these people are.

Su Le smiled and lowered his voice, "Great! Where is the supply and marketing cooperative?"

Hearing this, Xu Hu swallowed deeply, "Sister-in-law...Sister-in-law, it's a bit far, in the North District."

Li Zichen frowned. "The North District is near the military area. There's a supply and marketing cooperative there, right?"

Xu Hu quickly replied, "Yes, I've looked at it. It's worth buying. The things inside aren't complete, and there's a bit of empty space next to it. If we expand it, it could be bigger."

After hearing this, Su Le decided to go and take a look in person. It would be great if he could buy a ready-made one, but it should belong to the military. He didn't know how crowded the place was. If it was sparsely populated, he would only be able to supply the military, and he would have to find another store.

"Take us to have a look in the afternoon, and leave two people to clean the yard for us." Su Le took off his wig.

Su Fugui understood something and asked, "Le Le, are you planning to open another store?" He glanced at Li Zichen beside him warily and asked, "Have the higher-ups given the go-ahead?"

Li Zichen nodded, "The higher-ups agreed, but they probably didn't expect my wife to be so capable, ambitious, and involved in such a wide range of matters."

Su Le responded with a smile, "I didn't say I would only open a supply and marketing cooperative."

Su Fugui and Chen Yao breathed a sigh of relief, and Su Fugui burst into laughter, "She's worthy of being my daughter. A good father will have a good son!"

Su Le rolled his eyes at him and said, "Dad, are you praising yourself or me?"

Su Fugui smiled and said, "You are all praising me, hahaha! There is no rush to clean up, let's go, let's go now." He took the lead and walked ahead.

Xu Hu looked at Su Fugui, then at Li Zichen and Su Le. Su Le followed, and Xu Hu hurried behind. It was unclear whether the two younger brothers should stay to clean or follow along.

"You two little brats, why don't you catch up!" Xu Hu shouted when he saw the two men standing there in a daze.

Xu Hu hurried ahead and took them to the supply and marketing cooperative in the northern district, a small independent place located in front of the shops in the small village.

Su Le thought it was pretty good, but it might be a little inconvenient to supply goods back and forth, as it would have to be done at night. It would be even better if it could be connected with his own warehouse!

At this moment, someone came from a distance, "Brother Chen! Brother Chen!"

Li Zichen looked over when he heard that. "Xiao Liu? Why are you here?"

Wang Liu saluted first, then handed the file bag in his hand to Li Zichen, "Brother Chen, this is what the political commissar asked me to bring over."

Li Zichen handed the item to Su Le without a second thought. Su Le opened it and took a look. To his surprise, it was a land deed! It also contained the transfer documents for the supply and marketing cooperative. "So generous! So generous!" Su Fugui snatched it away and took a look.

Su Le, however, did not feel much. "This place is close to the military area, so we can only open a small shopping mall."

Su Fugui shook his head. "You can open a department store. Start with a small supermarket first, and then renovate it later."

Su Le also laughed and said, "Dad is really thoughtful. It's settled. Dad, let's go back and discuss the design."

Chen Yao was happy for Su Fugui, "Brother Gui, you can do your old job again."

Su Fugui picked up Chen Yao and spun around. Chen Yao patted his shoulder embarrassedly, and Su Fugui walked back quickly.
