Chapter 1181: Slapped in the Face with a 'Slap-Slap

Remembering the dough she had prepared earlier but not yet handled, she went to the kitchen first, kneading and resting the dough to make flower rolls, sugar-filled triangles, and plain steamed buns. After placing them in the steamer, she still couldn't resist the temptation and went to Mini Hai's side to scoop up some hairtail fish.

After busying herself for quite a while, she not only made pan-fried hairtail but also prepared large basins each of braised hairtail and salt-and-pepper hairtail; this would be enough to eat for a very long time.

She had just finished putting away the dry rations and various flavored hairtail delicacies from the steamer, gone to pick some grapes to wash, and was preparing to play with those old objects when she felt someone pushing her: "Liu Chuxue, wake up."

Liu Chuxue quickly pulled her consciousness back and, looking half-asleep, asked: "What's wrong?"

This time it was Team Leader Zhou who spoke: "It's lunchtime. After we eat, the train should be arriving at the station."

The food brought from the guesthouse earlier was already gone, so for this meal, they would have to buy it on the train.

There were boxed meals on the train, but with everyone's luggage, it wasn't convenient to go to the dining car, so Team Leader Zhou simply bought boxed meals directly.

Because of the events that had happened before, the atmosphere lacked the liveliness of the past.

After finishing the meal, the staff came to collect the lunch boxes; after tidying up, it was time for them to get off the train.

Being considerate of everyone's hard work over the past month, before they disembarked, Team Leader Zhou told everyone that except for the three of them—master and two disciples—the others could go straight home. Tomorrow, everyone should report to the unit, go through the reimbursement procedures, and then they could take four days of compensatory leave.

Naturally, no one objected.

As soon as Team Leader Zhou finished giving his instructions, the train slowly pulled into the station.

Wan Qing's luggage was taken by Clerk Xu of his own accord; one didn't need to think hard to know he was implicitly showing favor to Qin Ruoyun.

However, since he worked at the factory office, everyone could understand.

As soon as the vehicle came to a complete stop, Liu Chuxue saw Fu Yan Cheng on the platform.

Wearing a crisp military uniform, his gaze sharp as he stared at the carriage, upon seeing Liu Chuxue, his serious expression first softened, and then his gaze turned burning hot.

As soon as Liu Chuxue reached the train door, Fu Yan Cheng reached out and took the two large suitcases from her hands.

Liu Chuxue smiled as she got off the train: "How long have you been waiting?"

The corners of Fu Yan Cheng's mouth lifted: "I came according to the time I calculated."

He would never say that he had arrived at the train station an hour early.

Team Leader Zhou had never met Fu Yan Cheng: "Liu Chuxue, who is this?"

Before Liu Chuxue could introduce him, Fu Yan Cheng introduced himself: "Hello, I am Liu Chuxue's husband, Fu Yan Cheng."

Only after Liu Chuxue finished introducing him did she introduce everyone to him one by one.

Fu Yan Cheng put down the luggage and shook hands with everyone one by one: "Thank you all for taking care of my wife during this time."

How would Team Leader Zhou dare to accept such words: "You are too polite. Moreover, for the most part, it was Liu Chuxue who took care of all of us; we should be thanking her."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, everyone finally walked out.

Liu Chuxue reached out to take the other suitcase from Mi Aijun's hands: "Brother Mi, thanks, let me carry it."

Mi Aijun, however, did not let go: "I'll help you carry it out of the station."

Liu Chuxue smiled: "Let me carry it; his car has driven into the station."

Everyone then noticed a car parked on the platform.

The group murmured with astonishment in their hearts; it seemed the accountant Xiao's husband was not an ordinary person either.

After all, a battalion commander probably wouldn't have such privileges; it seemed he had some background.

If Liu Chuxue knew they were thinking this, she would surely smile and say: "You've guessed wrong; the reason he could drive onto the station platform was probably because his uncle pulled some strings for him."

After bidding farewell to everyone, she followed Fu Yan Cheng toward the car.

But when she, carrying her things, saw someone else in the car, she was directly slapped in the face with a 'slap-slap'.
