Chapter 1638: With a Wife Like This, What More Could a Husband Ask For

~5 min read 813 words

Soon, the news that the wife of Deputy Regiment Commander Fu had received an admission letter from the Capital University spread like it had grown wings.

Over the following days, people came to the house from time to time, disrupting the triplets' daily routine.

Liu Chuxue made a decision: she would take Grandmother Wei and her granddaughter, the triplets, and Zhui Feng back to the city first; after all, they had to return for the New Year anyway, and going back now would allow them some peace.

Fu Yan Cheng was reluctant, but he knew Liu Chuxue had reached her limit.

For his sake, when people from the military dependents' compound came knocking, she agreed to tutor them; for his sake, she sheathed her sharp edge and never sought out conflicts; for his sake, she offered strategic counsel to the military region.

Although his wife always joked that it was her mission and she couldn't just come to the world for nothing, ultimately, he was the one who benefited.

A few days prior, just after he returned from a mission, the Division Commander had summoned him.

In private, the Division Commander told him that Regiment Commander Kong, due to chronic illness, had already submitted a transfer report to the higher-ups; originally, this opportunity wouldn't have been his, given that he had only been promoted to Deputy Regiment Commander last September and considering his age.

A few days ago, an order came down from above to transfer a full Regiment Commander from another military region.

However, only a few days later, the comrade scheduled for transfer became implicated in matters concerning his wife's family, so the selection for the full Regiment Commander position would now be made from among the several Deputy Regiment Commanders in the military region.

Originally, a candidate had already been chosen, but because of Liu Chuxue's contributions to the military region as a military spouse, Fu Yan Cheng's name also appeared on the list this time.

Previously, the logistics department had sent word that during the military region's commendation ceremony, a regional leader would personally commend Liu Chuxue as a military spouse; later, due to an urgent mission, the commendation meeting was postponed until after the New Year.

Division Commander Guan added meaningfully, "The timing of this commendation ceremony is perfect for you."

Since the matter wasn't yet finalized and he feared further changes might occur, he hadn't mentioned it to Liu Chuxue yet; but thinking of everything she had done since arriving at the military region, he felt deeply moved.

With a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for!

It was the end of the year, and he indeed had many matters to attend to, so he worked an entire night shift, requested half a day off from the Division Commander, and prepared to escort them back to the city, planning to return to his duties only after settling them in.

Ever since the triplets were born, going out was like moving house; the jeep was packed to the brim, which made Zhui Feng, who wasn't getting in, extremely anxious as it circled the vehicle several times, terrified of being left behind.

Liu Chuxue found it hilarious and patted its dog head: "Alright, stop circling; we definitely won't leave you behind."

Hearing this, Zhui Feng became overjoyed, running around the vehicle several times before stopping, looking completely different from its earlier anxious state, clearly in an excellent mood.

Liu Chuxue laughed: Zhui Feng's happiness was that simple.

Regarding the news of receiving the admission letter, Liu Chuxue hadn't notified her family immediately; after all, she would be returning home for the New Year in a few days, and mainly, she didn't want to put pressure on others.

Barring any unexpected events, she should be among the first batch admitted, while it wasn't even certain whether the others back home would receive their admission letters before the New Year.

Returning to the small courtyard in the city, seeing the rooms cleaned spotless, she felt an indescribable sense of comfort in her heart.

Zhui Feng played in the yard for a while, whined by Liu Chuxue's side for a bit, then carried the cushion made for it to its own territory and lay down.

Grandmother Wei sighed again: "You say, how is it so smart? It even knows to ask you for things; luckily you were careful and brought it along; otherwise, I'm afraid it would have thrown a tantrum with you again."

Liu Chuxue laughed: "You guessed wrong on that point; that fellow knows how to assess the situation; if you really hadn't brought the cushion, it would probably have been even happier, and at that time, it would have barged right in and moved into the room."

As if its thoughts had been exposed, Zhui Feng's little eyes darted around, refusing to look at Liu Chuxue.
