Chapter 949: If You Have an Objection, You Don't Have to Eat

Fu Yan Cheng listened to their words and thought to himself: They weren't wrong; in the past, he had always swapped his holiday leave for others during the New Year, but this year was different; he wished he had even more holiday leave.

Thinking of Liu Chuxue, a smile involuntarily curved his lips.

Xiao Wang, who was driving, saw his regiment commander's expression and said: "Commander, is good news approaching? Will we be getting wedding candy soon?"

This question hit Fu Yan Cheng right in the heart: "Yes, soon; there will be candy for all of you."

Everyone in the car immediately exclaimed: "Commander, you have double good fortune; don't try to fool us with malt candy when the time comes."

Fu Yan Cheng thought of a comrade who had gotten married a few days ago; his family was supposed to buy fruit candy, but his mother thought fruit candy was too expensive, so she bought malt candy made by locals at the market; it wasn't that malt candy was bad, but it had no packaging, and to save money, his mother had processed it again at home, breaking it into small pieces, which became a topic of conversation in the family compound.

Fu Yan Cheng glared at the group: "Enough, that matter is over; don't keep bringing it up; rest assured, you won't be shortchanged."

The Fu family was preparing to eat when Fu Yanwan first noticed Fu Yan Cheng entering: "Fourth Brother, you're back."

Fu Yan Cheng saw the bowl in her hands and asked: "Did I come home just in time, or am I late?"

Fu Yanwan knew her fourth brother was being deliberate and said with a smiling gaze: "Late; didn't you see I was clearing the dishes to wash them?"

Fu's mother came out of the kitchen: "You've arrived at just the right time; hurry and help carry the dishes in to start the meal."

Fu Yan Cheng took the dish directly from Fu's mother's hands: "I'll do it."

Once the dishes were on the table and everyone had taken their seats in the room, Hao Yanhong said: "Mom really is biased; these dishes are even more abundant than the New Year's Eve dinner."

Seeing Fu's father's face instantly turn cold, Fu Yanwei quickly spoke up to stop her: "If there's food, you can't even control your mouth; what, do you plan not to eat tonight?"

Fu's mother had naturally heard her words: "This beef and lamb chops were sent by my fourth son's fiancée; what's wrong with me cooking them for everyone to eat today? If you have an objection, you don't have to eat."

Hao Yanhong, fearing she wouldn't get to eat, quickly said: "Mom, I was just joking; don't take it seriously; besides, the beef and mutton weren't all sent by the fourth son's family; there's also the welfare distributed by the eldest brother's factory."

Fu's mother was too lazy to argue with her; anyway, once the fourth son got married, they would split the household, and there were only a few days left before they stopped sharing the same pot.

Fu's father naturally thought of this as well: "Enough; it's hard to gather everyone for a reunion meal; everyone, speak less."

Fu Yanwei quickly smoothed things over: "Yes, yes, yes; it's rare for everyone to be together; the eldest sister-in-law and Mom worked hard to make this whole table; I've been smelling it and craving it for ages."

At that moment, Fu Jincheng, the five-year-old from the eldest branch, looked at the lamb chops on the table with shining eyes: "Grandma, I want to eat meat."

Fu's mother, showing no favoritism, served meat to every grandson and granddaughter: "Okay, okay, okay, eat meat; Grandma made plenty today, so you can eat your fill."

Fu's father also spoke up: "Come on, come on, pick up your chopsticks."

Fu Yanming picked up a piece of lamb chop, tasted it, and said: "You don't know; for this beef and mutton, those who went on a business trip to Inner Mongolia suffered terribly; I heard not only were there rewards, but at the beginning of the new year, Liu Chuxue's rank will be promoted by one level."

Hearing this, everyone immediately became excited.

Fu Yanwan exclaimed first: "If she gets promoted another level, won't my fourth sister-in-law's salary be over fifty yuan?"
