Chapter 683 Discharge
Chuxue took two days to translate all the information given to her by the factory director.
Unexpectedly, she received good news before getting off work in the afternoon. In addition to two hundred yuan for translation fees, she was also given a radio, which made her very happy.
It just so happened that her eldest sister was due to give birth soon, and she had always wanted to get her a radio to help her pass the time during the confinement period. She didn't expect this to happen.
The sewing machine tickets and bicycle tickets that the factory had given them before could be bought directly as their dowry after they got married, and the ones that Fu Yancheng sent home could be kept for family use to save the trouble of moving them around.
At this time, the Fu family was also busy with their wedding preparations for the coming year.
Fu Yanming and Fu Yanhong, while the fourth child was still here, painted the entire room where he lived.
Zhang Yurong thought that since the money was paid by the public, "Mom, the fourth son's marriage is a big deal, and we must not embarrass him. After all, the leaders of the army might come. It won't look good to just paint the doors and windows of the fourth son's room. It's better to clean up the whole house. Xiaowan is not young anymore, and she won't lose face when her in-laws come to pick her up."
Mother Fu naturally knew Zhang Yurong's little thoughts, but her subsequent words also reminded her.
After the fourth son gets married, it’s time to make plans for his daughter. It probably won’t be too long. What the third son’s wife said is true. This time, all the rooms in the yard should be painted, which will make them look better. It will save the problem of mixing new with old. It will also make the fourth son’s wedding look more festive.
Therefore, Fu Yanming and Fu Yanhong finished painting the rooms in the yard in one day over the weekend, and had to get up two more early mornings to finish painting all the rooms in the yard.
When Fu Yancheng was discharged from the hospital and sent back by Xiao Guo, he saw that the doors and windows in the hospital had changed color.
Mrs. Fu knew her son would be back today, so she asked for leave to wait at home. When she heard the noise, she came out and heard her fourth son ask, "Mom, when did you repaint it? Why did you change the color?"
Mother Fu smiled and said, "You are getting married next year, so you have to prepare in advance. It's hard to paint in cold weather, so I told your eldest brother and the third brother to paint in advance. As for changing the color, it was your eldest sister-in-law who suggested it. I thought it was a good color, so I changed it to reddish red, which looks festive. Okay, stop standing there, and bring Xiao Guo into the house. I have stewed chicken soup in the kitchen, and Xiao Guo will have a bowl of it later. I've been very grateful to him these days."
Xiao Guo came in carrying something and just heard this: "Aunt, it is my duty to take good care of the deputy battalion commander."
Seeing that his hands were full, Fu's mother hurried forward to help: "Why do you carry so many things?"
Fu Yancheng said: "When I was discharged from the hospital today, many of my comrades came to visit me, so I brought them all back."
When Mrs. Fu saw that they were all supplements, she said, "Okay, I'll put them all in your room."
Fu Yancheng was about to say that they should put it in the kitchen and eat together, but his mother stopped him: "Put it in your place first."
Seeing his mother say this, he did not refute in front of Xiao Guo.
Xiao Guo put down his things and wanted to leave, but Fu's mother brought out a bowl of chicken soup: "What are you busy for? Drink a bowl of chicken soup first before you leave."
Xiao Guo wanted to refuse, but Fu Yancheng said, "Listen to my mother, drink it before you leave."
Being respected, Xiao Guo felt very comfortable: "Then I will respectfully obey your command."
Mother Fu filled another bowl and handed it to Fu Yancheng before going out to take care of her own business.
Xiao Guo blew on it gently, sipped it and swallowed it: "Deputy Battalion Commander, Auntie's chicken soup is really delicious."
Fu Yancheng saw that he liked it: "Then drink more."
Little Guo smiled and said, "How could I be so ignorant?"
After drinking a bowl of chicken soup, Xiao Guo left quickly.
