Chapter 1361: The Two of Us Are on the Same Wavelength

She had already told her eldest uncle about Fu Yan Cheng's injury while on the road.

So when she said she needed to leave first, he naturally did not object: "Alright, hurry back and take good care of little Fu."

As for the people who followed, he was not clear on their character, so he did not mention his nephew-in-law's name.

Watching his niece leave the courtyard, he turned to look at the people who had followed to load the goods, all staring straight at the watermelons in the room: "Everyone, stop staring and quickly load the cart; when we get back, I'll cut one open for everyone to taste."

Hearing this, the crowd almost cheered; in these times, most brigades basically planted crops that could fill bellies, and planting watermelons was extremely rare; they truly had never seen so many watermelons at once.

Being able to eat watermelon for free naturally made everyone beam with joy.

Xiao Qianjin feared something would go wrong and dared not let everyone eat before loading the cart; only when the goods were loaded back on his own territory could he feel at ease.

And Chuxue's timing was perfect; not long after reaching the roadside, she saw the bus approaching from afar; she did not wait in place but walked forward a bit before stopping, and after confirming safety, took a small bag from the space.

There were not too many people on the bus; when she boarded, there were still empty seats in the back; after finding a place to sit, she used her will to pack two lunch boxes of dishes and more than ten steamed buns, then closed her eyes to review the morning's events.

She had taken the bus out early, gotten off here first, made arrangements in advance, and then hailed a mule cart heading into the city to give her a ride.

You ask how she knew this place? Naturally, she heard it from the gossip in the family compound; she thought of everything she could think of, even making footprints and cart wheel tracks in the small courtyard.

After a bumpy ride to the outside of the family compound, she stood up to get off and put the meals packed in the space into the small bag.

Perhaps it was because the two of them were on the same wavelength; when she arrived home, she saw Fu Yan Cheng brewing mung bean soup in the kitchen; hearing the commotion of Zhui Feng, he looked out and met Chuxue's gaze: "Wife, you're back?"

Chuxue frowned: "Didn't I say not to let you do chores? Why are you in the kitchen?"

In such hot weather, his wound could not be exposed to sweat; seeing him in the kitchen, Chuxue immediately grew anxious.

Fu Yan Cheng quickly spoke to explain: "Wife, don't be angry; I didn't cook; I just thought that in such hot weather, I borrowed some mung beans from the neighbor to brew some mung bean soup for you to drink."

The anger that had just flared up eased considerably upon hearing this: "Go sit in the courtyard first; leave this to me."

The mung bean soup was almost ready by now; Chuxue took out the food she had prepared: "I was originally thinking of brewing soup after returning, but this saves trouble."

Hearing her words, Fu Yan Cheng's lips curled slightly: "This is what we call being on the same wavelength."

As the two ate, Fu Yan Cheng said leisurely: "By the way, someone from the snack workshop came to find you this morning."

Chuxue swallowed the food in her mouth: "Find me? Did they say what it was about?"

Fu Yan Cheng helped her pick up a chopstick of food and put it in her bowl: "They said the first batch of snacks was sent to the supply and marketing cooperative the day before yesterday; unexpectedly, just two days later, the general supply and marketing cooperative came looking, saying they ordered one thousand jin of each flavor from them."

Chuxue thought of something: "By the way, who is in charge of that snack workshop?"

Fu Yan Cheng glanced toward the outside of the courtyard: "It is Zhang the Company Commander's wife, Song Xiaohua."

"Her?"

"Yes, unexpected, right? The reason she was chosen as the manager is that Song Xiaohua attended higher primary school and can read, and she previously roasted peanuts and melon seeds in her hometown; among those she recruited, she had the most experience, so she was let to manage it first; as for how the army side will arrange things in the future, I really am not clear."
