Chapter 989: I Never Come to the Three Jewels Hall Without a Reason

On the way home with Liu Chuxue, Fu Yan Cheng, Liu Chuxue suddenly remembered the reward she had received before the New Year: "Yan Cheng, later, take me to see that courtyard they rewarded me with, okay?"

Fu Yan Cheng had actually wanted to ask her about it, but since she didn't mention it, he felt a bit embarrassed to bring it up.

Now hearing her mention the house: "How is it? Are you satisfied with the reward?"

The reason she hadn't opened it in front of him that day was that she heard Chunxiao's footsteps; there were some things she didn't want too many people to know.

She truly hadn't expected them to be so generous; besides the certificate of merit, there was a cash prize of two thousand yuan and a three-courtyard compound. That courtyard occupied quite a large area. That case must have involved quite a lot; otherwise, they wouldn't have dared to publicly commend her.

However, she indeed preferred this tangible reward: "Mm, very satisfied. But I think leaving such a large courtyard idle is simply a waste. I was thinking whether to rent it out first."

After all, there were still a few years until the Reform and Opening Up. That house would be empty anyway; it was better to rent it out to earn some rent first. Later, when the Reform and Opening Up arrived and she wanted to do something, the source of funds would have a pretext.

Fu Yan Cheng naturally wouldn't oppose it, after all, it was his wife's own property: "Alright, then I'll accompany you there tomorrow. Coincidentally, I know someone at the street office over there."

When they arrived at Xiao Mu's house, Fu Yan Cheng merely went over to greet Xiao Mu, then left.

After he left, he didn't go straight home but went to find Zhang Meng, explaining Liu Chuxue's intention: "How about it?"

After thinking for a moment, Zhang Meng said: "No problem. I'll definitely make Sister-in-law satisfied. I'll start preparing materials after the fifth day of the New Year. As soon as the weather warms up, we'll start work. It definitely won't delay your moving in after the wedding."

Fu Yan Cheng threw a pack of cigarettes he had bought on the road to Zhang Meng: "Alright, then I'll leave it entirely in your hands."

Thinking of Liu Chuxue saying she wanted to rent out her house, he couldn't help but detour to the bus stop sign, thinking it would be better to visit that acquaintance at the street office in advance.

When getting off the bus, he first went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some gifts before going to the door.

When that person opened the door and saw Fu Yan Cheng, he was somewhat incredulous: "Xiao Fu, how do you have time to come over?"

Fu Yan Cheng smiled: "Auntie, hello. I never come to the Three Jewels Hall without a reason; I just happened to come to pay New Year's greetings to you and Uncle."

Fang Ruyu's face was full of smiles: "Come in quickly, come in quickly. I haven't seen you in such a long time."

Sun Bingzhu, who heard the commotion inside the house, walked out: "Oh my, it's Yan Cheng. Come in quickly."

Fu Yan Cheng and their son, Sun Guohua, were comrades-in-arms. Previously, when they went on a mission together, it was Fu Yan Cheng who saved Sun Guohua. Otherwise, he would have either died or been disabled; even so, he was seriously injured. Fu Yan Cheng personally brought him back to recuperate. Later, after he recovered and returned to the unit, within a few years he was transferred to another military region.

Occasionally, when he came over to handle matters, he would also drop by their home to sit for a while.

Sun Bingzhu sized Fu Yan Cheng up and down: "You're getting more and more spirited. I heard from Guohua that you've found a partner?"

Fu Yan Cheng laughed: "Yes, the wedding date has already been set. At that time, you two elders should come over for a celebratory drink."

"We definitely must go. When is it set for?"

"On May Day."

"Before, we said we'd introduce you to my younger sister's daughter, but we could never catch you. I didn't expect you to have already set the wedding date."

"Xiao Fu, what brings you here today?"

Fu Yan Cheng only said that Liu Chuxue had a house to rent over here and didn't mention how the house was obtained. Of course, Sun Bingzhu and his wife didn't press further.
