Chapter 247 Touched
We originally planned to arrange eight tables, but unexpectedly, two more tables of people showed up.
Fortunately, when Chuxue saw that something was not right, she quickly informed Aunt Wu, who was preparing the banquet, and asked her to change another vegetable and add it in.
In the end, although there were more vegetables than meat, the meal was still quite good at that time.
Supplies were scarce those days, and even the bulk sorghum liquor was almost gone.
The borrowed tables, chairs, benches, pots, pans, and utensils were also returned door to door, along with gifts of thanks.
The thank-you gift nowadays is also very simple, just the steamed three-grain flour buns made today, plus a bowl of leftover dishes for each person.
I was busy until ten o'clock in the evening, and finally I finished sending everyone away and cleaning up.
Fu Yancheng helped to pack up, and then he packed up and prepared to leave: "Chuxue, I have to attend morning training tomorrow morning, and I have to go back to the army tonight. I will discuss with my family when I go back and decide on a day to come. I will send someone to send you a message in advance."
Fu Yancheng really helped a lot today. After all, there are many people in the village who can't stand others doing well. If Fu Yancheng hadn't helped to calm the situation, someone would inevitably go crazy under the influence of alcohol: "Yancheng, thank you today."
Fu Yancheng's eyes were full of smiles: "We will be a family from now on. These are what I should do. Who told me to like someone else's daughter?"
After that, he smiled heartily: "Okay, I'm leaving."
He then said hello to Liu's father and mother, Xia Qiuchunxiao and Qiu Shaofeng, then went down the slope and prepared to drive away.
Chuxue went back into the house, took out a cloth bag, and followed her down the slope.
Father Liu watched them go down and said, "Be sure to drive safely."
They were very satisfied with Fu Yancheng's performance today.
My daughter is marrying up, and I didn't expect that the man would be so considerate. Although I am a little worried that my daughter will be looked down upon if she marries him, I don't want to break up the couple. After all, they have eyes and it is obvious that my daughter is willing, so I just let nature take its course.
If it really works out, they will be proud to have such a capable son-in-law. In the future, the villagers will think twice before doing anything just because of the military uniform.
Chuxue walked him to the car and handed him the bag: "Take this and eat it when you go back."
Fu Yancheng felt so sweet in his heart that he would never refuse: "It's getting late, go back quickly, I'm leaving."
Seeing him get in the car, I remembered that I was too busy today to learn how to drive a jeep from him.
He seemed to sense her thoughts and said, "I didn't make it this time. I will definitely teach you how to drive a jeep next time I come."
Chu Xue naturally believed what he said: "Got it, be careful on the road."
Fu Yancheng did not delay any further, after all, he had to return to the army before midnight.
He took a look at the bag that Chuxue handed him and stepped on the accelerator.
After watching the car drive away, Chuxue turned around and went back to her new house.
Qiu Shaofeng saw that everyone had entered the yard and said, "We have to go back early tomorrow morning. The fish pond on the farm needs to be desilted in the next few days. I have signed up for it before."
Mother Liu naturally wouldn't stop them. After all, without work points, there would be no food. It was already great that they could come back to help, so how could they delay their work? "Okay, I left two pounds of pork belly and some mushrooms that were dried before the first snow. I'll fry a jar of meat sauce for you tomorrow morning, so you can satisfy your cravings in Xiaqiu."
When Qiu Shaofeng heard this, he was very grateful. After all, his family had not yet split up, and it was impossible for his family to prepare these just for Xia Qiu.
At this time, Chuxue said, "Mom, there are still a few pounds of white flour. Let the flour rise. Then steam a few sugar triangles or flower rolls for my sister tomorrow morning. She can eat something when she's hungry."
This touched the Xia Qiu couple deeply.
