Chapter 1737: How Does This Have Anything to Do with Me?
As the two were talking, Tao Saozi walked in carrying a basket of vegetables on her back: "Miss Liu Chuxue, I've come to bring you some vegetables."
Liu Chuxue smiled and went to greet her: "That's wonderful."
Seeing that Tao Saozi had put on some weight compared to before, Liu Chuxue teased: "Looks like your postpartum confinement went very well this time."
Tao Saozi laughed: "It's all thanks to your good fortune."
Liu Chuxue didn't understand: "How does this have anything to do with me?"
Tao Saozi leaned close to Liu Chuxue: "I'm planting your vegetable patch, and it's simply a blessed land; everything grows exceptionally well there, far more than we can eat, so I take some to the collection station every few days. With extra money in hand, I can afford to be generous."
Mo Ruhua interjected: "Sister Tao's milk is truly excellent; those few days when I had a cold and took medicine, it was Sister Tao who fed little Fengze for me."
Liu Chuxue immediately understood; when she had planted that land herself, she had secretly watered it with the spring water from her spatial dimension.
While taking out vegetables, Tao Saozi said: "Just go pick whatever vegetables you need; please, don't be shy about it."
Liu Chuxue smiled: "Then I won't stand on ceremony with you, Sister Tao."
Tao Saozi tucked the stray hairs behind her ear: "Why be so polite? That land belongs to your family anyway; we agreed before that you could eat whatever vegetables you wanted whenever you returned."
She was about to say something else when suddenly she heard the shout of her eldest son, Tao Yushan: "Mom, come back quickly, brother is crying."
Tao Saozi couldn't wait for anything else, picked up her basket, and ran out: "Miss Liu Chuxue, Miss Mo Ruhua, I'll head back first."
Mo Ruhua laughed: "Look, having children at home has this one downside; you can't even step out the door."
Liu Chuxue looked at her: "By the way, how long is your leave? Will you be working next semester?"
Mo Ruhua took her son: "A few days ago I went to the school. The principal said they've temporarily transferred me to logistics, so I can bring my child to work; that way, it won't affect anyone else."
Hearing this, Liu Chuxue said: "The principal is indeed a good person, but it's also because you've proven yourself. The principal fears losing talented people, so he's giving you special care."
Mo Ruhua didn't deny it: "Mainly, I don't want to give up this job. Once little Fengze is a bit older, I'll send him to the Yu Hong class; it's nearby anyway, and I can go check on him whenever I'm free."
As the two were talking, Ma Wuliang stood at the main gate, stretching his neck and shouting: "Sisters!"
Seeing him, Liu Chuxue quickly called out: "Come in quickly."
Although his breakup with Zhang Haizhen had indirectly helped him, she still felt guilty for having ruined his marriage prospects.
Just as she was thinking of what to say, she saw a modest-looking young woman following behind him: "Who is this?"
Actually, she already had an answer in mind, but she asked anyway.
Ma Wuliang pulled the young woman forward: "Two sisters, this is my wife, Jiang Xiaofang. I've brought her here to join the army with me."
Liu Chuxue then remembered that Fu Yan Cheng had mentioned it before: Ma Wuliang had been promoted to company commander this year and would just be able to get a room allocated in the apartment building.
Liu Chuxue invited them into the courtyard: "When did you arrive?"
Ma Wuliang smiled: "We came back yesterday. We came today first to let my wife get to know the place, and second to tell you that we're hosting a dinner in the canteen tomorrow evening; please all come then."
Liu Chuxue naturally wouldn't refuse: "Alright, we'll all go then."
At that moment, Fu Yan Cheng came out carrying water: "You're quite something, taking leave for your engagement only to bring your wife back directly."
