Chapter 1067: With Your Brother-in-Law's Seniority, You Should Be Able to Join the Army

When they entered the courtyard, many neighbors saw it: "Oh, did you see? They're carrying Moutai."

"Look at the pastries they're carrying; not only from Daoxiang Village, but also from Yili and Gonghe Kui. It's clear they put thought into it, probably buying the famous items from each shop."

"It's obvious their daughter married well; that young man's gaze at the Xiao family daughter is all sticky with affection."

Just then, Xiao Fu's eldest brother's wife came out with her daughter and grandson, carrying a plate of candies: "Today our Chuxue and son-in-law are returning home for the visit. My younger brother-in-law asked me to bring out some candies so everyone can share in the joy."

Hearing there were candies to give, who would refuse? Someone laughed and replied: "Your younger brother-in-law is a considerate person. We all wish Chuxue and her husband a sweet life and everything goes smoothly."

"Yes, yes, that couple is perfect; the man is manly, the woman is pretty, a great match."

Blessings poured out freely as Xiao Fu's eldest brother's wife chatted happily with everyone.

The plate of candies was quickly emptied. After a few more pleasantries, everyone dispersed.

Actually, giving out candies was something Xiao Fu, a rough man, could never have thought of; it was Grandpa Xiao who instructed the eldest daughter-in-law to do it.

Originally, this task should have fallen to Xiao Mu, the younger daughter-in-law, since they lived here and it was her duty to build good relations. But earlier that morning, Grandpa Xiao happened to see the younger daughter-in-law's pained expression watching the chef cut meat, so he instinctively assigned the task to the eldest daughter-in-law.

After chatting with the elders and seeing her grandfather getting along well with Fu Yan Cheng, Chuxue stood up, went over to her older sister, and took the little grandson: "Sister, isn't your sister-in-law due to give birth soon?"

Xia Qiu wiped her son's drool: "Her due date is a week later than Mom's, but she fell recently, and the Physician said her condition might lead to premature birth."

As the two sisters were talking, her cousin Xiao Wanxia approached and reached for Junjun in Chuxue's arms: "Come, let Auntie hold you."

Since Chuxue got married that day, Xia Qiu had become familiar with this cousin. Perhaps because they both had children, they got along quite well: "Cousin, Yaoyang is already three. Don't you plan to have another?"

Xiao Wanxia teased the little one in her arms: "I'd like to, but your brother-in-law has too little leave. Now that he's finally transferred back, he's so busy he can't even touch the ground. We're in the same situation as when we were separated by distance before."

Chuxue held Yaoyang's small hand and looked up to add: "With your brother-in-law's seniority, shouldn't you be able to join the army with him?"

Xiao Wanxia nodded lightly: "Yes, but there are no suitable job positions in the unit, and I don't want to give up my current job."

Thinking about it, it made sense. Although her brother-in-law had transferred back, the garrison was in Huairou. Even if he wanted to come over on weekends, time would be tight, especially since weekends weren't double days off back then.

Seeing her cousin sigh, Chuxue said: "Ask your brother-in-law to keep an eye out slowly. Maybe good news will come soon. Fortunately, it's closer to home now, so whenever your brother-in-law has leave, he can come home."

Seeing her cousin's earnest attempt to comfort her, Xiao Wanxia couldn't help but smile: "What about you? Have you thought about joining the army? Your Yan Cheng has been promoted to Company Commander and qualifies for family accompaniment."

Chuxue glanced at Fu Yan Cheng, who was chatting enthusiastically with Grandpa Xiao: "The family housing for army accompaniment has already been approved. But like you, my job is here, so I probably can't join the army for now. However, Shijingshan is close, so I can go over on weekends."

Remembering something, she added: "Ask your brother-in-law to inquire privately if there are any spouses who want to return to the city for work. If so, swapping jobs would be a perfect solution for both."
