Chapter 1468: You Still Understand Me Best

With the matter settled, Liu Chuxue pushed the cart out of Bai Lian Village, then found a secluded spot to store the bicycle back into her space.

When she reached Baifu Village ahead, she traded a familiar auntie for a chicken and some eggs, and swapped with an old man for a carrying basket, just enough to serve as cover for her space.

Just as she reached the entrance to the family compound, Fu Yan Cheng came rushing over: "How did you get here?"

Before Fu Yan Cheng could reach out, Liu Chuxue transferred the items she had prepared in her space into the carrying basket.

The moment the basket was in Fu Yan Cheng's hands, he felt its weight: "Wife, didn't we agree that if you wanted to trade for anything, you'd tell me and I'd go with you?"

As Fu Yan Cheng hoisted the basket onto his back, he sized Liu Chuxue up and down: "Are you alright?"

Liu Chuxue smiled and spun around: "See, I'm fine."

She couldn't very well say the items had been placed in the basket only the instant before he took it, so she quickly coaxed him: "Alright, alright, I won't do this again. Don't be angry."

【8】 Fu Yan Cheng took Liu Chuxue's hand: "I'm not angry; I'm just worried about your health."

Fu Yan Cheng took Liu Chuxue's hand: "I am not angry; I am worried about your health."

How could she not know that? "Alright, I bought a chicken. We'll go back and make chicken soup for you. By the way, why are you back so early?"

Fu Yan Cheng's eyes were full of tenderness: "I was busy all last night without a wink of sleep. I only finished things this late morning. The division commander told us to go back and rest. When I got home and didn't see you or any note, I figured you must have gone to a nearby village."

Liu Chuxue hooked her finger in his palm: "Not bad. You still understand me best."

Hearing his wife's praise, Fu Yan Cheng's lips curved slightly: "Of course."

Seeing him get a bit proud, Liu Chuxue cleared her throat lightly: "Today I traded with a local farmer for quite a bit of seed cotton. I happened to drop it off at the cotton worker's in Bai Lian Village. I can pick it up the day after tomorrow. This task is yours."

As she spoke, she pulled the pickup slip from her pocket: "Keep this safe."

Fu Yan Cheng glanced at the slip: "Your luck is unmatched; you managed to trade for so much."

Liu Chuxue quickly made up an excuse: "They originally grew it on their private plot for their son's wedding. But since the family had other expenses, they decided to sell it at the procurement station. I just happened to run into them."

A flicker of suspicion crossed Fu Yan Cheng's face, but thinking his wife had no reason to lie to him, and that the goods were obtained and she was happy, he let it go.

The two chatted as they entered the family compound: "When you have time later, help me make a few wooden crates. I plan to try growing some small green vegetables. If it works out, we can change up our diet then."

Fu Yan Cheng didn't even frown: "Sure. That doesn't take much effort. I don't need anyone's help; I can do it myself."

It was such a small request from his wife; of course he wouldn't refuse. As long as his wife was happy, that was all that mattered.

As they neared their doorstep, they saw someone waiting from afar: "What's going on at our door?"

The words had barely left her lips when she clearly saw the face of the child who had just turned around, and everything became clear in her heart.

At that moment, Fu Yan Cheng spoke up: "It's Deputy Regiment Commander Feng and his family from the First Battalion of the Second Regiment."

Clearly, Deputy Regiment Commander Feng's family had also spotted them: "Deputy Regiment Commander Fu, Sister-in-law Fu."

Just as Fu Yan Cheng was about to introduce them, Feng Cunguang's mother, Jiang Aihua, stepped forward and took Liu Chuxue's hand: "Sister-in-law, thank you so much for what happened that day. Without you two, I dare not imagine what would have happened."

Liu Chuxue quickly patted the woman's hand: "As long as the child is safe, that's all that matters."

While greeting Deputy Regiment Commander Feng, Fu Yan Cheng opened the main gate: "Come in and sit."

Jiang Aihua pulled her son forward: "Cunguang, you must thank Deputy Regiment Commander Fu and Sister-in-law Fu properly. Without them, who knows what would have happened to you that day?"
