Chapter 329: Why Did You Bring Me Out?

After Fu Yan Cheng parked the car, Qiu Shaofeng accompanied him into the courtyard.

Fu Yan Cheng spotted Liu Chuxue standing there at a glance: "Brother-in-law, if you have matters to attend to, go ahead and busy yourself. I'll take Chuxue out for a bit."

Qiu Shaofeng certainly had that kind of perceptiveness: "Alright, I'll go greet the guests first. You two chat."

He stood at the door and exchanged a few words with Xia Qiu, then turned to get busy.

Fu Yan Cheng did not enter the house either; he stood at the doorway, exchanged pleasantries with Chuxue's father and mother, then took Chuxue out of the courtyard.

By now, everyone was crowded over at Qiu Shaocheng's new room; the men were preparing to get a cigarette to smoke, while the women and children naturally wanted candy.

So after the two left the courtyard, there were not many people outside.

Chuxue asked with a smile: "Why did you bring me out?"

Fu Yan Cheng pointed to the car: "The banquet won't start for a while yet. Didn't I promise before that if there was a chance, I'd let you learn to drive a small car? There's nothing much going on now, and I see the field ahead is even bigger than your village's threshing ground. Want to go over there and drive a few laps?"

There was no reason for Chuxue not to agree; she could already drive a big truck, so this jeep should be no problem at all. Such a rare opportunity naturally had to be seized: "You still remember that?"

Fu Yan Cheng looked at Chuxue, his eyes full of tenderness: "Naturally, I must remember the promises I made to you."

The reason he had taken on this assignment yesterday was precisely with the intention of going to Liu Family Village to see Chuxue, so he had used connections to contact the liaison unit in advance, just to free up time for Chuxue to learn to drive.

After all, he was only a deputy regiment commander now and had no assigned vehicle; without special circumstances, he rarely borrowed a car from the regiment.

So when the superior officer said he could use his assigned vehicle to handle matters, he immediately agreed.

As Fu Yan Cheng had expected, after he taught her just once and they circled the large field by the farm, he let Chuxue sit in the driver's seat.

At the very beginning, Chuxue was indeed a bit unfamiliar, but after driving one lap, she was already handling it very smoothly.

To tell the truth, even Fu Yan Cheng was somewhat incredulous: "I don't even know what to say. I'm thinking of specially recruiting you into our motor company."

Chuxue wore an expression of guilt; aside from her super-strong memory now, in her previous life she had also been an experienced driver, so driving was naturally no problem for her: "Alright, stop praising me. You don't want me to get too proud and drive straight into the ditch ahead."

After all, this was an official vehicle, so she didn't overdo it: "It's getting late; let's head back first, so we don't end up missing the banquet and causing trouble for my sister."

Having said that, she stopped the car: "You drive; I'll sit in the back."

By now, those people had probably already come out from the new room, and she didn't want to be gawked at.

Fu Yan Cheng liked Chuxue's cautious nature and her habit of knowing when to stop very much: "Alright, I'll listen to you."

As soon as they returned, they saw Qiu Shaofeng coming out of the courtyard; upon seeing them, he waved: "Come quickly, the banquet is starting."

When they entered the room, Qiu Mu was talking with Chuxue's father and mother: "In-laws, mother-in-law, there are so many things today, I haven't had time to properly attend to you."

Chuxue's father and mother were straightforward people: "Understood, understood. You go on with your busy work; Xia Qiu is accompanying us. Don't worry about us."

Qiu Mu said with a face full of smiles: "Xia Qiu is pregnant now and isn't suitable to go out. In a moment, I'll have someone set up a table in this room and ask my grandmother and several great-aunts to come over and keep you company while we chat."

Since they had said so, Chuxue's father and mother naturally could not refuse. Soon, someone came to set up the table, and Qiu Family's great-great-grandmother also arrived with a face full of smiles, leading several of the Qiu family's great-aunts inside.
