Chapter 1313: Xiao Fu, Who Is Being Praised
Having said this, he rubbed his hands together while laughing and said, "Mainly because we are anxious, thinking to start pressing oil this autumn. The location for the workshop has already been chosen; construction will begin in a few days. With this oil press, the village will have a side business, which counts as some income."
Fu Yan Cheng heard the village head's words and did not refuse his face.
His own father-in-law was watching eagerly: "Alright, then later I will go with you to the village committee to make a phone call and contact them."
Seeing that Fu Yan Cheng had agreed, the village head excitedly refilled the wine for everyone at the table: "Come, come, let us all have a drink together. We are truly grateful."
As he spoke, he also looked at Xiao Fu: "Changsheng, your son-in-law is truly excellent."
At this, the look of pride on Xiao Fu's face grew even stronger.
Liu Chuxue saw everyone getting more and more excited, so she stood up and went into the kitchen, putting the dishes she had specially set aside earlier into her space. She then took a slightly larger basin, filled it with two-grain rice, and seeing that there were still some washed vegetables left uneaten in the basket, she put some of those into her space as well.
Just as she came out of the kitchen, Xia Qiu walked over: "Chuxue, why aren't you eating?"
Liu Chuxue glanced at the remaining dishes in the kitchen: "I came to check how much food is left. When those few families leave later, I will divide it among them. We are going back to Huicheng in a while, and these things cannot be kept."
Xia Qiu glanced into the kitchen: "Don't say anything, Grandpa really went all out this time. I didn't expect so many things to be sent over. To be honest, today's dishes would be enough even if we set up four tables."
Liu Chuxue looked at Xiao Fu, who was being praised by others: "This is just to give his son some support and to help Dad find his confidence."
She had other matters and naturally did not want to delay any longer: "Hurry back to eat; Junjun will be sleepy in a while."
Xia Qiu looked at the son being held by Qiu Shaofeng: "Look at how excited he is now; I'm afraid he won't be able to sleep for a while."
As the two walked over while talking, when they were almost there, she said: "Sister, you go eat first; I'm going to the outhouse."
She had actually just wanted to find an excuse to leave for a bit, but after she spoke, she looked very embarrassed: "I didn't mean it."
Having said that, she hurriedly walked out the main gate.
It took Xia Qiu quite a while to react, and then she burst out laughing.
Liu Chuxue left her home and walked straight toward the cowshed. She had been using her spiritual power to observe the surroundings, and only when she was close to the cowshed did she take out the prepared items.
When she arrived, the Kang family had just finished serving the cooked porridge.
Kang Jinze saw Liu Chuxue first: "It's Aunt Fu."
Kang Yuanwei, who had been busy, finally looked over. He hurriedly scanned the area in all directions before speaking: "Sister-in-law, why have you come in the middle of the day?"
Liu Chuxue handed the items over directly: "Brother Kang, put the things away quickly; I cannot stay here long."
In the basket she handed over were not only the noon meal but also salt, brown sugar, corn flour, and sorghum flour that she had prepared in advance. The quantities were not too large, to avoid being discovered and making it hard to explain later.
Kang Yuanwei naturally did not want to implicate Liu Chuxue's family, so he quickly took the basket and went inside to put the things away.
As soon as he entered the room, Liu Chuxue took a handful of fruit candies from her pocket, actually from her space: "Hide this well."
Kang Jinze, who was precocious, said: "Thank you, Auntie."
In a short while, Kang Yuanwei came out with the basket: "Sister-in-law, there are mushrooms to pick and wild vegetables to dig on the mountain now. You don't need to worry about us; you should hurry back."
Liu Chuxue confirmed that no one was coming this way, took the basket, and added: "Recently, comrades similar to you have been returning to Huicheng one after another. I believe it won't be long before you do the same."
Having said that, she turned and left the cowshed.
