Chapter 1403 Another Promotion
Fu Yancheng probably saw through her thoughts: "Don't worry, the army has already signed contracts with the Municipal Supply and Marketing Cooperative and the Department Store. With sales channels in place, there naturally needs to be stable supply channels. Guanghu Lan Village alone is definitely not enough."
Moreover, the logistics department staff met with several village officials in Qingshan Town and analyzed the pros and cons for them. They also explained that the villagers would only plant these crops on slopes or mountains, so it would definitely not affect the village's grain delivery and the villagers' food rations. They assured the logistics department that with their help, the future of the roasted nut workshop would be much easier.
You wouldn't believe it, so many comrades asked me to thank you on their behalf.
Without Fu Yancheng needing to explain, Chu Xue understood why: "If it's really as you say, then when the workshop business is good, it can provide more jobs, which would fulfill my original intention."
Seeing that she was happy, Fu Yancheng said, "Today is a good day. What would you like to eat? I'll make it."
Chu Xue was just thinking about cured pork rice, but when Fu Yancheng asked, she said directly, "I want to eat cured pork rice, and I've been craving it since before you came back."
Fu Yancheng tapped the tip of her nose: "Okay, you can give me guidance from the side, and I'll do it."
The two chatted casually, while Fu Yancheng skillfully cooked rice. Chu Xue occasionally offered a reminder, and the courtyard was filled with a peaceful and serene atmosphere.
To their surprise, the appointment came down the very next day, and the entire family compound was talking about it: "Battalion Commander Fu, oh no, now he's Deputy Regiment Commander Fu, isn't that a bit too fast?"
“What do you know? I heard from my husband that if Deputy Regiment Commander Fu weren’t so young, he would probably be a full regimental commander with his military achievements.”
"Does that mean Deputy Battalion Commander Sun will also be promoted?"
"That's hard to say."
Fu Yancheng got promoted, and his subordinates were clamoring for him to treat them to a meal. He was initially worried about Chuxue's health and didn't want to host a meal at home, but he also didn't want to be too high-profile by hosting a meal outside. So he joked with everyone, "I'll host a meal together with my wife's baby shower after she gives birth."
His soldiers weren't about to let him steer the conversation off-topic. One of them shouted, "Deputy Regiment Commander Fu, are you sure you're up to it? This is such a joyous occasion, we should have a good drink!"
The news reached Chu Xue's ears the next day. She thought that when she got married before, she didn't have a big wedding at the military base. She just invited a few people she knew well to a few tables.
Thinking that if he really didn't invite her, some people might say that Fu Yancheng was stingy, since he had been living in the family compound until his college entrance exam.
When Fu Yancheng returned from training that evening, Chu Xue brought up the matter directly to him: "Yancheng, I overheard some gossip at the small square in front of the station today."
Fu Yancheng knew what he had heard without even thinking: "Let them say what they want. Right now, everything is about your health. If they keep insisting on treating us, we'll just eat out."
Chu Xue shook her head and said, "It's not appropriate to invite guests out, as it's easier for people to bring it up. Your morning sickness has also disappeared these past few days. Since everyone is so willing to come and celebrate for you, it wouldn't be good to refuse their kindness. Why don't we just have a few tables at home?"
Fu Yancheng looked disapproving: "Pregnancy is tiring enough, and you're carrying three babies at once. If you get too tired, I'll regret it to death. They're just saying it for a while, and it'll be fine after this period. At worst, we can have a proper celebration when the babies are born and have turned one month old."
Feelings are mutual. Seeing how considerate he is of her, she also wants to be good to him: "Listen to me on this matter. With the help of the sisters-in-law, I won't be burdened. Let's just go with the flow."
Happy New Year, everyone!
