Chapter 683: Discharged from the Hospital

Liu Chuxue spent two days translating all the materials the factory director had given her.

She didn't expect to receive good news before getting off work in the afternoon; besides two hundred yuan in translation fees, she was also given a radio, which made her overjoyed.

It just so happened that her own eldest sister would be giving birth soon; she had previously wanted to get her a radio to relieve boredom during the confinement month, and unexpectedly, this had come to pass.

The sewing machine ticket and bicycle ticket the factory had given earlier would wait until after their marriage to be directly purchased as her dowry; the ones Fu Yan Cheng had delivered to the family home could simply be left for the family to use, saving the trouble of moving them back and forth.

Meanwhile, the Fu family was also busy because of their marriage next year.

Fu Yanming and Fu Yanhong, taking advantage of the fact that the fourth brother hadn't returned home yet, had completely repainted the room where the fourth brother lived.

Zhang Yurong thought that since the money was coming from the common fund: "Mother, the fourth brother's marriage is a major event; we certainly cannot let him lose face. After all, leaders from the regiment might come at that time. It wouldn't look good to just repaint the fourth brother's doors and windows; it would be better to clean up the entire house. Little Wan is not young anymore; when her in-laws come to welcome her, it won't make her lose face either, right?"

Fu Mother naturally knew Zhang Yurong's little schemes, but the latter part of her words did remind her.

After the fourth brother marries, it will be time to plan for the daughter; it probably won't be too long either. The third brother's wife was not wrong; repainting all the rooms in the courtyard this time would make them look better, avoiding the mix of new and old, and it would also look more festive for the fourth brother's wedding.

So, Fu Yanming and Fu Yanhong spent the entire weekend repainting the rooms in the courtyard, having to get up early two more times before they finished repainting all the rooms in the courtyard.

When Fu Yan Cheng was discharged from the hospital and sent back by Xiao Guo, he saw that the doors and windows in the courtyard had changed color.

Fu Mother knew her son was returning today, so she took leave and waited at home; hearing the noise, she came out and heard her fourth son ask: "Mother, when did you repaint, and why did you change the color?"

Fu Mother smiled and said: "You are getting married next year, so of course we must prepare in advance; it's too cold to paint now. I told your eldest brother and the third brother to paint early. As for changing the color, it was your eldest sister-in-law's suggestion. I thought it was good, so we changed it to date red; it looks festive. Alright, stop standing there; quickly take Xiao Guo inside. I have simmered chicken soup in the kitchen; Xiao Guo will have a bowl too. We owe him a lot these past few days."

Xiao Guo, carrying things, came in and happened to hear this: "Auntie, taking good care of the Deputy Regiment Commander is my duty."

Fu Mother saw his hands were both full and hurried forward to help: "Why did you bring so many things?"

Fu Yan Cheng said: "When I was discharged today, many comrades came to visit, so I brought them all back."

Fu Mother saw they were all supplements: "Alright, then put them all in your room."

Fu Yan Cheng was about to speak up and say to put them in the kitchen for everyone to share, but Fu Mother stopped him: "Put them in your room first."

Seeing his mother say this, in front of Xiao Guo, he did not contradict her.

Xiao Guo put down the things and wanted to leave, but Fu Mother brought out a bowl of chicken soup: "What's the rush? Drink a bowl of chicken soup first before you go."

Xiao Guo still wanted to refuse, but Fu Yan Cheng spoke up: "Listen to my mother; drink it before you go."

Being respected made Xiao Guo feel very comfortable: "Then I will respectfully accept your kindness."

Fu Mother served another bowl and handed it to Fu Yan Cheng, then went out to busy herself with her own affairs.

Xiao Guo gently blew on it, took a sip, and swallowed: "Deputy Regiment Commander, Auntie's chicken soup is truly fragrant."

Fu Yan Cheng saw he liked it: "Then drink more."

Xiao Guo smiled sheepishly: "How could I be so unreasonable?"

After finishing the bowl of chicken soup, Xiao Guo left quickly.
