Chapter 481: If You Want to Return to Huicheng, Then You Must Be Mentally Prepared

Fu Yan Cheng started the car while smiling, "If you oversleep in the morning, it's just right to drink."

While fastening Chuxue's seatbelt, he said softly, "In a little over half a year we'll be getting married; we can use this time to properly regulate our bodies."

Hearing these words, Chuxue quickly understood his meaning and her face immediately turned red, "Start driving."

Seeing her shy, Fu Yan Cheng feared truly making her angry and quickly changed the subject, "Xue'er, since we are now engaged, I was thinking of returning to the unit to submit our marriage report. When the time comes, I'll apply for the military housing first; if you have time, you can go over and oversee the decoration. Is that okay?"

What was there to object to? Having already accepted him, as a soul from a later era she naturally wouldn't be coy, "Fine, you handle it."

Having received her agreement, Fu Yan Cheng was overjoyed.

Chuxue looked at his expression, "Drive properly."

Fu Yan Cheng turned to look at her, "Rest assured, I'll definitely get you safely to the factory."

While the two of them were enjoying their harmony, the situation was far from pleasant on the other side for the Fu family's second son and his wife, "Yanwei, shouldn't you call home and explain?"

Fu Yanwei was somewhat intimidated by his father; without thinking he shook his head, "Let's forget it for now. I'll wait until noon to find some time to run over to the farm, get the situation from my little sister, and then decide."

"I really don't know what you're worried about. Just say you want to return to Huicheng; what's so hard to say?"

Fu Yanwei felt a bit annoyed, "Have you thought about what our family of three will do for a living if we return to Huicheng and can't arrange a good job?"

"Anyway, we live at home; are we going to starve to death?"

"Do you know that the first and third brothers' families have to pay living expenses every month based on the number of people? These years we haven't only failed to show filial piety to our parents; instead, they send me ten yuan every month. This is all because I went down to the countryside; the brothers also think I'm suffering in the countryside, so no one says anything.

But once we return, these privileges will all be gone. Think carefully about that."

Hao Yanhong had indeed heard Fu Yanwei mention before that the first and third households had to pay living expenses based on population, but at the time she hadn't taken it seriously. Now that she wanted to return to Huicheng, these matters had to be faced, "Our situation is different from theirs. If it weren't for the family's monthly subsidy, we probably wouldn't even be able to fill our stomachs, so naturally we have no savings.

But they are different; the couples in the first and third households both have jobs. Even after paying living expenses to the home, they can still save quite a bit. We just returned to Huicheng; what can we compare with them?"

Fu Yanwei took the cigarette pack from the windowsill, pulled out a cigarette, and while putting the pack back on the windowsill, he took the matches.

Silently lighting the cigarette, he took a slow drag, "Even though I signed up privately back then, I count as a hero of the family. After all, if I hadn't gone down to the countryside, someone else in the family would have had to go. But once we return to Huicheng, it won't be possible to keep taking money from my parents' hands anymore; I can't afford to lose face like that.

So, if you want to return to Huicheng, then you must be mentally prepared.

Furthermore, as you've seen, the fourth brother is about to get married. In the future, the four of you sisters-in-law will live under one roof; housework is unavoidable. Have you considered all this?"

"Fu Yanwei, what do you mean? Left and right you're blocking me; are you just planning to return to Huicheng yourself and leave us mother and child in the countryside?"

"When did I say I wouldn't take you? I just want to tell you that returning to Huicheng is fine, but we can no longer be as carefree as we are now."
