Chapter 1450: Looks Like Foolishness Is Contagious

They had set out the dishes when Xiao Guo hurried into the courtyard: "Sister-in-law, hello. The deputy regiment commander asked me to make braised pork."

Liu Chuxue smiled at Xiao Guo: "Trouble you. Have you eaten? Join us for some."

Xiao Guo grinned foolishly: "It's within my duties, Sister-in-law. Don't be polite with me."

He would never be so lacking in awareness.

With that, he turned and headed out of the courtyard: "Sister-in-law, I have an appointment; they're still waiting for me. I'll go first."

Fu Yan Cheng handed the bowl of rice he had served to Liu Chuxue: "By the way, Xiao Wanli called me. The procedures are all done these past few days. Comrade She accompanied her for a few days, and today she officially took over the ticket-checking work."

Liu Chuxue slapped her forehead: "I was just saying that after I called my eldest sister, I felt like I'd forgotten something. Looks like 'one pregnancy, three years of foolishness' really is true."

Liu Chuxue's pale forehead immediately turned red. Fu Yan Cheng, heart aching, reached out to rub it for her: "You there, if you forgot, you forgot. Why hit yourself so hard? You've even made it red."

Only then did Liu Chuxue belatedly feel the pain. She smiled and said: "So 'one pregnancy, three years of foolishness' really does have some truth to it."

While rubbing her forehead, Fu Yan Cheng smiled: "My wife isn't foolish. Otherwise, how could she translate so much material so quickly and so well?"

Hearing his words, Liu Chuxue looked up at Fu Yan Cheng: "That seems right too."

The two exchanged a glance and both laughed.

After a while, Liu Chuxue pushed Fu Yan Cheng's hand away: "Enough. If you keep rubbing, the food will get cold. By the way, where is Ren Jiangfeng? How is things on his end?"

Fu Yan Cheng sat back in his seat: "I was just about to tell you. Yesterday, Dad already registered him. The day after tomorrow, he'll take leave to return to the city for the recruitment exam."

Liu Chuxue looked over: "Should we find connections in advance?"

Fu Yan Cheng waved his hand: "No need. He never put down his textbooks, and we even had someone send materials over. If he still can't pass, then it's his own problem."

While serving Liu Chuxue some food, he added: "Mom also called, asking about your situation and mentioning their plans."

No need to guess what the mother-in-law had said: "Did they bring up Xiao Wanli and their marriage?"

Fu Yan Cheng nodded lightly: "Mom said that if Ren Jiangfeng can pass the exam to return to the city, they should get the marriage certificate first, and hold the wedding banquet in the twelfth lunar month."

Liu Chuxue agreed: "Mom and Dad are right. Once Xiao Wanli returns to the city, she'll naturally live at home. Ren Jiangfeng's situation is special; even if he doesn't live at home, he'll come often. Getting the certificate early is good, to avoid people talking."

Thinking of what the couple had discussed before: "If they really hold the wedding in the twelfth lunar month, sending an electric fan might not be suitable. How about you find some connections these few days and see if you can get them an electric rice cooker? It's practical and presentable."

Hearing his wife's words, Fu Yan Cheng also slapped his forehead: "Fine. You've got 'one pregnancy, three years of foolishness,' and I'm no better. Looks like foolishness is contagious."

Liu Chuxue looked at him with amusement: "What's wrong? Did you forget something?"

Fu Yan Cheng picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in her bowl: "Last time I accompanied you on the business trip to Shanghai, I saw how convenient that thing was. I asked someone to buy one for you at the Friendship Store. It was out of stock for a while, but they just brought it back these past few days."

Whether it was related to her pregnancy or not, she was moved again: "Why didn't you mention it all this time?"

Fu Yan Cheng pinched her nose: "I mentioned it once before, but you probably didn't pay attention. Later, since it was out of stock, I thought I'd wait until I got the thing before telling you."
