Chapter 1361 We're in sync
Fu Yanshou had already told her uncle about her injury on the way.
So when she said she had to leave first, she naturally didn't object: "Okay, you go back quickly and take good care of Xiao Fu."
He didn't know the character of the people who came with him, so he didn't mention his nephew-in-law's name.
Watching his niece leave the yard, he turned to the people who had come to load the goods, all of whom were staring intently at the watermelons inside the house: "Everyone, stop staring, hurry up and load the truck, we'll open one for everyone to try when we get back."
Upon hearing this, everyone almost cheered. In those days, most brigades grew crops that could fill their stomachs, and very few grew watermelons. This was truly the first time they had ever seen so many watermelons at once.
Everyone was overjoyed to be able to eat watermelon for free.
Xiao Changjiang was afraid of making a mistake, so he dared not let everyone eat before loading the truck. He could only feel at ease after the goods were loaded back into his own territory.
Chu Xue timed her arrival perfectly. Not long after she reached the roadside, she saw the shuttle bus approaching from afar. Instead of waiting where she was, she walked a short distance before stopping. After confirming that it was safe, she took out a small bag from her spatial storage.
There weren't too many people on the bus. There were still empty seats in the back when she got on. After finding a place to sit down, she used her mind to pack two lunch boxes of food and a dozen or so steamed buns, and then closed her eyes to review what had happened that morning.
I took a car early in the morning and got off here first. I made arrangements in advance before I came out and flagged down a mule cart going into town to give her a ride.
If you ask how I knew about this place, well, I heard it from the gossip in the family compound. I thought of everything I could think of, even leaving footprints and tire tracks in the courtyard.
After a bumpy ride to the outside of the family compound, as I got up to get off the bus, I put the food I had packed in the car into my small bag.
Whether it was a telepathic connection between the two or not, when she arrived home, she saw Fu Yancheng cooking mung bean soup in the kitchen. Hearing Zhui Feng's movements, he looked outside and met Chu Xue's gaze: "Wife, you're back?"
Chu Xue said sternly, "Didn't I tell you not to do any work? What are you doing in the kitchen?"
On such a hot day, his wound shouldn't get wet with sweat. Seeing him in the kitchen, Chu Xue immediately became anxious.
Fu Yancheng quickly explained, "Honey, don't be angry. I didn't cook. I just thought that since it's so hot, I borrowed some mung beans from next door to make you some mung bean soup."
The anger that had just flared up subsided considerably after hearing these words: "You go sit in the yard first, I'll take care of things here."
The mung bean soup was almost ready. Chu Xue took out the prepared food and said, "I was thinking of making some soup when I got back, but this saves me the trouble."
Upon hearing her words, Fu Yancheng smiled slightly: "We're kind of telepathically connected."
As the two were eating, Fu Yancheng said casually, "By the way, someone from the roasted nuts workshop came looking for you this morning."
Chu Xue swallowed the food in her mouth and asked, "Did you call me because you wanted to talk to me about something?"
Fu Yancheng helped her put a piece of food into her bowl: "They said the first batch of roasted nuts was sent to the supply and marketing cooperative the day before yesterday. I didn't expect that just two days later, the supply and marketing cooperative came to us, saying that they ordered 1,000 catties of each flavor from them."
Chu Xue suddenly remembered something: "By the way, who's in charge of that roasted nut workshop?"
Fu Yancheng glanced outside the courtyard and said, "It's Company Commander Zhang's wife, Song Xiaohua."
"It's her?"
"Yes, you didn't expect that, did you? The reason we chose her as the manager is that Song Xiaohua attended higher primary school and can read. Also, she used to roast peanuts and melon seeds in her hometown. She has the most experience in recruiting people, so we let her manage them first. As for how the army will arrange things in the future, I really don't know."
