Chapter 1362: What Does It Matter to Others If My Wife Is Delicate?

After Liu Chuxue heard him out, she smiled lightly and said, "I didn't go out of my way to ask around. The reason I pushed for this was to ensure the military wives in the family compound could have something dry to do, so at least their lives could be a bit more comfortable. By the way, how many people did the workshop recruit this time?"

Fu Yan Cheng picked up a piece of spare rib and placed it into Liu Chuxue's bowl. "Eat more."

Watching her pick up the rib, he then replied, "I heard they recruited twelve people: ten military wives and two young men who just graduated from high school and were unemployed at home. According to the meaning of Zhang the Company Commander's wife, the Sales General Office over there said that if the response to this four thousand jin is good, their General Office will establish a long-term cooperation with the army for purchasing melon seeds."

Hearing this, Liu Chuxue's face lit up with excitement. "This is good news. The Beijing City Supply and Marketing General Office—that must be a huge volume. If it's really as they say, I'm afraid the small stock in Hulan Village will run out in no time."

Seeing her worry so much, Fu Yan Cheng couldn't help but smile. "Don't worry. If it really comes to that, the army won't just stand by and do nothing. After all, if it reaches that point, these twelve people alone probably won't be able to handle the workload, which would actually provide more job positions."

Hearing him say this, Liu Chuxue felt quite accomplished. "Actually, I know how to make a few types of pickles. Seeing that it's already August, in a few months when the autumn vegetables are harvested, it will be the perfect time to pickle. Do you think the army would agree if I proposed building another small workshop?"

Seeing her speak so happily, Fu Yan Cheng naturally didn't want to dampen her spirits. "If you really want to do it, I fully support you. As for whether the army will agree, that depends on how the leaders think."

After all, they had just opened a snack workshop; if they opened another one, people might say they were taking too big a step.

Hearing him say this, Liu Chuxue nodded. "Hmm, you're right. The leaders wouldn't agree just because I have a whim. I was thinking too simply."

After all, opening a workshop involves risks for the army side; whatever it is, there must be investment upfront. Thinking about it, she was probably too self-righteous. "Let's not bring it up for now. Let's wait until the snack workshop stabilizes."

Fu Yan Cheng didn't want her to keep thinking about these things. "By the way, Xiao Wanli can come over this afternoon. Uncle Zhang approved half a month of leave for her."

This made Liu Chuxue happy. "Really? Did Xiao Wanli call?"

Fu Yan Cheng nodded. "Deputy Battalion Commander Shen helped deliver the message."

Liu Chuxue didn't say anything else and focused on eating. "I'll go tidy up the room in a bit."

Fu Yan Cheng, however, said leisurely, "I had someone clean that room this morning."

Liu Chuxue looked up at him. "Who did you find?"

Seeing her like this, Fu Yan Cheng couldn't help but smile. "Guo Dianrong. He came with Company Commander Sun this morning to deliver the outstanding receipts, so I asked him to stay a while so you wouldn't have to do it when you got back."

Liu Chuxue gave Fu Yan Cheng a coquettish glare. "You know, if people find out, they'll say I'm too delicate."

Fu Yan Cheng, however, said carelessly, "Let them talk. It's no big deal. Besides, what does it matter to others if my wife is delicate?"

Thinking of Tao Saozi's matter, Liu Chuxue quickly changed the subject. "By the way, has there been any result regarding what Tao Saozi encountered at the hospital before?"

Fu Yan Cheng coughed lightly. "The matter is still under investigation. That person is definitely suspicious, but whether we can find anything out through him depends on waiting."

As they were talking, Tao Saozi's voice came from outside. "Liu Chuxue, are you home?"

Liu Chuxue quickly stood up. "Tao Saozi, come in quickly."
