Chapter 1418: My Wife Is Very Formidable

With the three hearty dishes she had prepared, Tao Saozi suggested preparing three vegetable dishes as well.

Fu Yan Cheng did not object; after all, they could not be too conspicuous, yet the piece of meat Chuxue had prepared went unused.

He asked Saozi to stay home and pick vegetables for the vegetable dishes and staples, while Fu Yan Cheng ran to the tofu shop, bought out the remaining tofu, and prepared to make scallion-tossed tofu.

After the items were brought back, those Saozis would not let him touch anything in the kitchen.

He exchanged a few words with Chuxue, then went out to borrow tables and chairs.

He went out alone, but returned with quite a crowd following him.

Chuxue took a look and saw that even Division Commander Guan was among them.

They had originally thought the coming days would be busy, but unexpectedly, due to the gravity of the matter, the Military Department took over, leaving them with leisure time.

They had originally planned to set up three tables, but some came uninvited, so two more tables were added directly; fortunately, Chuxue's three hearty dishes were plentiful enough, and even divided into five servings per table, there was still surplus.

They had originally intended for everyone to eat freely, but now they could only serve one basin per table.

Seeing the situation, Chuxue asked the Saozis helping out to simply increase the portion of vegetable dishes; after all, the vegetables in the courtyard were growing well, enough for today's use.

She also had them add a dish of stir-fried beans with meat, brought out quite a few eggs and dried shrimp, and personally steamed five large bowls of steamed egg with dried shrimp, since there were several children at the banquet today.

Once this banquet spread was served, naturally, there was a round of praise.

Fu Yan Cheng helped Chuxue take her seat; after everyone tasted the few dishes Chuxue had made, there was another round of praise: "Yan Cheng, you truly have good fortune; I didn't expect your wife to cook so deliciously."

The pride on Fu Yan Cheng's face was impossible to hide: "Of course, my wife is very formidable."

Hearing him say this, everyone felt like beating him up.

However, they had to admit that his wife was indeed formidable.

At this moment, Division Commander Guan spoke up: "Comrade Xiao Chuxue is indeed excellent; she has assisted in solving many cases and received many honors. She is a role model for military families to learn from, and she even secured a large number of foreign exchange orders for the factory she previously worked at during this year's Canton Fair, which is truly remarkable."

Even if everyone knew these things, they only knew the surface; hearing Division Commander Guan's words, everyone's gaze toward Chuxue now carried reverence.

For a moment, the table was lively with clinking cups and toasts.

Naturally, this meal was enjoyed by both hosts and guests.

Next, Chuxue officially entered her daily routine of resting for the pregnancy; every day after finishing his work, Fu Yan Cheng would return home on time, cook for her personally, and accompany her on a post-meal walk, strictly following the Physician's medical advice.

Not long after, the matter concerning the Chen family reached its conclusion; those people were deeply hidden enemy agents. Although the Chen family had been used, who could blame them for being blinded by money? In the end, they were all sent down to a farm.

The reason those people targeted the Chen family was that Chen Tiantian's father had helped a researcher they were pursuing while driving a vehicle; after both were killed by the enemy agents, they had never found the documents the researcher was carrying.

They wondered if the documents were hidden among Chen Tiantian's father's belongings; since they could not act directly against Wang Sangyu, they took a roundabout approach to the Chen family, intending to use Chen Tiantian as leverage.

They never expected that before they could achieve victory, they themselves were discovered; having laid low for so many years, they were wiped out in one sweep.

Although Fu Yan Cheng did not take over the subsequent matters, since he was the one who led the men to capture them, the merit he deserved was naturally not lacking.

Shen Kaiyuan was also directly promoted to Commander of the Third Battalion because of this mission.
