Chapter 1314: Comradeship

She had just gone down the slope when she saw Fu Yan Cheng waiting there: "How did you get here?"

Fu Yan Cheng hurried forward a few steps: "I took my eyes off you for a moment and you ran over here on your own. What's the point of having a husband like me?"

Knowing Fu Yan Cheng would definitely come to the cowshed today, she did not want him to face even the slightest danger; if someone saw him bringing things over, it would cause too much trouble later. As for herself, it was different; after all, she had a cheat, allowing her to avoid danger.

Liu Chuxue pulled him toward the other side: "We have to return to the city this afternoon. While everyone is resting at home at this hour, say whatever you need to say quickly."

She thought that as long as she wasn't holding anything, she wouldn't be afraid even if someone saw her.

Fu Yan Cheng helped her find a shady spot: "Sit here and wait for me. I'll be back very soon."

After Liu Chuxue nodded, he hurried quickly toward the cowshed.

During this period, since Liu Chuxue had not returned to the village, the Kang family's items had been delivered at night by Kong Yizhang through reliable people. Fu Yan Cheng knew this; someone had just delivered items recently, so he had prepared nothing for this trip.

Liu Chuxue thought he would be gone for a while, but not much time passed before Fu Yan Cheng returned: "Why so fast?"

Fu Yan Cheng helped her: "I wasn't comfortable leaving you alone here."

When the two entered the courtyard together, the banquet was already nearing its end.

As soon as the village head saw him enter, he stood up. His eagerness made one want to laugh, yet thinking that they were all doing this wholeheartedly for the village, a certain respect arose in his heart.

Liu Chuxue patted Fu Yan Cheng: "Enough, don't worry about me. Don't keep the village head waiting too long."

Regardless of what Liu Chuxue said, Fu Yan Cheng still escorted her to the shady spot before feeling at ease: "Stay here in the cool. Any work left, I'll do when I get back. Don't get your hands dirty."

He spoke these words quietly, but since everyone had been watching them closely, they naturally heard it.

As soon as he left with the village head, the party secretary called over the women attending the banquet: "Liu Chuxue's husband is doing this for our village. Shouldn't we repay him properly?"

Those women laughed in agreement: "Yes, there isn't much work left. Why should he come back to do it?"

Saying this, they got to work.

Xia Qiu and Liu Chuxue had wanted to help, but everyone stopped them: "One of you is watching the child, the other is pregnant. How could we let you do this? With so many of us, we can finish it in a few strokes."

After Fu Yan Cheng and the village head arrived at the village committee, Fu Yan Cheng first called Kong Yizhang, asking him to look up the phone number of a comrade-in-arms in Jin City. Fortunately, when he called, the person happened to be in the office.

After exchanging pleasantries, he mentioned his desire to purchase an oil press: "I actually have some leads on this matter. My childhood friend works at the Grain Machinery Factory. Whether it can be done, I'll only know after I ask. Wait, I'm calling him right now. I'll call you back in a moment."

Fu Yan Cheng quickly gave the village's phone number: "Alright, I'll wait here. Thanks, brother."

A cheerful voice came from the other end of the line: "Why be so polite between us? If you hadn't pushed me back then, the grass on my grave would probably be quite tall by now. Wait."

Not much time passed after the call ended on that side before the phone rang.

The village head signaled for Fu Yan Cheng to answer, then pricked up his ears, wanting to hear what the person on the other end would say.

After Fu Yan Cheng picked up the call: "How is it? What did they say?"
