Chapter 1330 You're still the best.
Chu Xue nodded gently to him: "You go ahead, I won't go."
Fu Yancheng stepped forward and said to the two who were still fighting fiercely, "Sisters-in-law, are you making such a big fuss because you're afraid your men will have an easy time and want them to be called in for a reprimand from above?"
Upon hearing about their husbands' future prospects, both of them let go of each other's hands.
At this moment, Song Xiaohua didn't care whether her youngest son would go hungry. However, even so, she didn't forget to pick up the spilled food from the broken bowl and put it back in, thinking of mixing some wild vegetables to feed the chickens when she got back.
Seeing Song Xiaohua leave, Zhang Liru quickly pulled her son and headed home, afraid that this matter might give someone something to hold against her husband.
After everyone left, Shen Kaiyuan gave Fu Yancheng a thumbs up: "You're the best."
Fu Yancheng didn't concern himself with what happened next. He turned around, pulled his wife back to the courtyard, and said, "Hurry up and eat, it won't taste good if it gets cold."
The two sat down again, and Chu Xue suddenly spoke up: "Yan Cheng, do you think the leaders would agree if I had a good idea to help the military with a side business?"
Fu Yancheng was taken aback for a moment when he heard this, but then he immediately understood what she meant: "You can give it a try, but what kind of side hustle do you want to do?"
Chu Xue thought for a moment: "I need to think about it some more, but if it works out, it should solve the employment problem for some people."
Fu Yancheng placed a piece of food on her plate: "Eat first, then you can think about it slowly."
However, Fu Yancheng was clearly not at peace. He knew that his wife was not just talking; he was both looking forward to it and worried about it.
Chu Xue could see the hesitation in his eyes: "This matter is not urgent. One must take things one step at a time. I need to think about it some more."
After the meal, Fu Yancheng conscientiously cleared away the dishes and went to wash them.
Afterwards, I added water to the pot, lit a large piece of firewood to boil the water, and then took Chuxue outside for a walk.
After all, the doctor said that pregnant women should exercise appropriately after meals, as it is good for their health.
As the two went outside, they overheard people chatting: "Didn't they agree on this beforehand? How can a state-owned factory go back on its word?"
"They said it was just a verbal agreement at the time, and there was no formal contract, so it shouldn't be taken seriously. Can you believe it?"
"There's been a lot of rain lately. If this stuff can't be dealt with, it'll be a waste of time and effort to carry it out and dry it every now and then. If it gets damp and moldy, the losses will be even greater."
“I heard that sunflower seeds can also be pressed for oil. If all else fails, have your dad and the others find a place to press them into oil and store it. That would be better than just storing those sunflower seeds.”
Chu Xue had already walked past, but upon hearing their chat messages, she turned back.
She told Fu Yancheng to wait for her a short distance away, and walked straight toward the group of people: "Hello, sisters-in-law."
Someone recognized Chu Xue: "Are you Battalion Commander Fu's wife?"
Chu Xue smiled and nodded: "Yes, my name is Xiao Chu Xue, you can just call me Chu Xue."
One of the women said with a smile, "Battalion Commander Fu is so lucky, his wife is really beautiful."
After exchanging a few pleasantries with the woman at home, Chu Xue turned to the woman who had spoken earlier and asked, "Sister-in-law, I overheard you talking about sunflower seeds when I passed by earlier. Can you tell me what happened?"
The woman's sister-in-law didn't know why she had come to ask, but since she had, she naturally repeated the explanation.
It turns out that the woman's family home is in Hulan Village, Qingshan Town, next door. Her older brother is the village's head. Two years ago, a large state-owned factory approached them, saying they wanted to buy the sunflower seeds and peanuts grown on the hillsides in the village to make oil. The price was higher than that offered by the purchasing station. After discussing it, the village officials agreed.
The cash-on-delivery transaction made the villagers very happy; they only regretted not planting more.
