Chapter 1666: Sister-in-law, Please Stop Teasing Me

Even though Xiao Mu was reluctant and unwilling, Little Stone still did not go with them.

Even Liu Chuxue was somewhat surprised; after all, he was still so young, yet he had such a mind of his own.

On the third day back in the city, Liu Chuxue returned alone to the military district family compound.

She had barely arrived home when people gathered around: "Chuxue, you came back alone; where are Le Bao and the others?"

Liu Chuxue opened the main gate and invited everyone into the courtyard: "I am about to start school soon, so I came back to tidy up and will leave tomorrow. The weather has been a bit cold these past few days, so I didn't want them to make the trip back and forth."

Tao Saozi chimed in: "That is indeed true; making the trip back and forth is quite a hassle."

Su, the deputy battalion commander's wife, Hao Sulan, said: "With Auntie Wei going with you to the city to care for the children, what about Wenbin? What will he do?"

Liu Chuxue smiled and replied: "I have already arranged a school for him there. I came back today specifically to handle his transfer paperwork."

At that moment, Zhang Lianhua, who had run over to join the commotion, heard this and asked: "Is Wei Wenbin going to attend school in the city from now on?"

As soon as she said this, several other military wives from a distance came over.

One military wife laughed: "It seems Auntie Wei and her grandson have finally seen better days after their hardships."

At that moment, Zhang Lianhua threw the melon seed shells from her hand onto the ground: "Fu Tuan's wife, do you have connections in the city? Can you help transfer my eldest to a school in the city?"

Hearing this, Liu Chuxue turned to look at her, and upon seeing the melon seed shells scattered all over the ground, said: "You should first clean up the melon seed shells you threw at my front gate before talking about anything else."

Zhang Lianhua looked down, and embarrassment flashed across her face: "I'm sorry. I'll clean it up for you right away. It was just a habit; I forgot this was your front gate."

Liu Chuxue ignored her no longer, and then heard Zhang Lianhua's husband, the company commander's wife, say: "Sister-in-law, do you know that Fu Fu Tuan has been promoted to Tuan Zhang?"

Tao Saozi rolled her eyes at her: "What kind of question is that? With news this big, Fu Tuan probably reported it to his wife immediately."

Liu Chuxue laughed: "Sister-in-law, stop teasing me."

They then discussed the situation of those in the family compound taking the college entrance exam: "Chuxue, to be honest, among the people you tutored, except for a few who didn't pass, the rest at least got into junior colleges. In the past few days, families whose children passed have been celebrating; those with good conditions have set up several tables, while those with fewer means have bought some candies to distribute around. Anyway, my son hasn't been home these past few days; he just runs around checking whose door is distributing candy."

Knowing Liu Chuxue still had things to do, the group chatted for a few more moments before preparing to take their leave, since she had matters to attend to and they shouldn't keep disturbing her.

Tao Saozi smiled: "You go ahead and get busy; we'll come back later."

As soon as they left the compound gate, Hao Sulan said enviously: "I truly envy the Tuan Zhang's wife; how is she so capable, raising children and attending university at the same time?"

Fu Yan Cheng rushed back immediately after finishing training at noon. Seeing the main gate of his home open, a smile appeared on the corners of his mouth.

Entering the courtyard but seeing no one, he called out: "Wife, I'm back."

Liu Chuxue was cooking: "I'm in the kitchen. The meal will be ready soon."

Fu Yan Cheng stepped into the kitchen in a few strides and hugged Liu Chuxue from behind: "Wife, I missed you so much."

Liu Chuxue slapped his hand: "Let go quickly; I need to get plates to serve the dishes."

Fu Yan Cheng did not let go; instead, he hugged her even tighter: "Wife, just thinking about being separated from you for so long makes me feel terrible."

Liu Chuxue laughed: "Didn't we agree that you would come to the city to see us when you have leave, and I would come back to see you when I have leave?"

Fu Yan Cheng fell silent, resting his chin on her shoulder: "But leave is so far away; what should I do if I miss you?"
