The military master pledged his life to the country, and the military wife pledged her life to him.

"We'll see then."

Fu Huaichuan didn't know what time the train to Nancheng would arrive, nor did he know what time the train back from Nancheng would arrive, so he couldn't give Fu Mingwei any reply for the time being.

"We are not rare guests, so you don't need to prepare in advance. Even if we really come, and you don't make any preparations and feel embarrassed, just ask your brother-in-law to go to the state-owned restaurant to buy two dishes." Fu Mingwei thought about it and it made sense. Besides, there were still a lot of New Year's goods at home that had not been eaten up.

Even if Fu Huaichuan and Lin Xi decided to come to their house at the last minute, she would not panic.

So she said, "Then I won't prepare in advance?"

"Ah."

"If it's already late on the day you come back from South City, don't rush back at night. It's not safe. You can take Xixi to stay at our house. If you go back after lunch or dinner the next day, you won't eat. Xixi shouldn't have been to the city yet, right?"

"should not."

"Then why don't you just take Xixi for a stroll in the city while the kids are away that day and see if she has any ideas. She's only eighteen, after all, she's still a child. You need to take her out to relax occasionally. Don't let her be tied down by a few kids so early. That would be unfair to her..."

As a mother, Fu Mingwei understands too well the limitations of being a mother.

It would be fine if they were his own children, but none of them were Lin Xi's own. Even people who love children the most will get tired and frustrated sometimes. That's why Fu Mingwei took advantage of the time when the children were playing and fighting in front to quietly remind Fu Huaichuan to give Lin Xi and the two of them some private space.

Although Fu Huaichuan didn't say anything, he took Fu Mingwei's words to heart.

"By the way, how long do you plan to stay in South City?"

"About three to five days. It depends on which day you buy the ticket for."

"So after you buy the train ticket, are you going to go home directly or are you going to buy the things you want to take to South City to give to Xixi's adoptive parents today?"

"After I buy the train ticket, I will go to the city supply and marketing cooperative to have a look."

"Do you need me to accompany you? I have a two-hour break at noon."

"Xixi doesn't know I'm in the city, so I want to finish shopping and go home early."

"How about I take some time off to accompany you?"

Upon hearing this, Fu Huaichuan immediately looked speechless.

He said, "Fu Mingwei, do you think I'm a three or two-year-old child? Do I need you to accompany me every step of the way when I buy something?"

"I'm just worried that you don't know what to buy for Xixi's adoptive parents."

"I'm going to buy some specialties that are only available in Lingcheng today. There shouldn't be too many things. My comrades in Nancheng have already started preparing the rest for me early in the morning."

Long before he decided to take Lin Xi back to South City, Fu Huaichuan had already started preparing things to give to Lin Xi's adoptive parents.

This was also one of the reasons why he left immediately after he and Lin Xi’s wedding on the weekend.

Because many things can only be obtained through special channels.

And this is what weekends are best at.

"What have you prepared?" Fu Mingwei asked.

"If nothing goes wrong, it should be a pig, two bottles of Maotai, a pack of cigarettes, a bag of rice, some eggs and fruits. Xixi and I will buy them some clothes, shoes, candies and other things after we get to South City..."

Fu Mingwei: “!!!”

"Aren't you being too generous?"

"Xixi and I will only get married once in this life, and I want to make it as perfect as possible and not leave her with any regrets. Moreover, her adoptive parents never abandoned her at such a difficult age, and even gave her the love that her biological parents didn't have. Just for this kindness, they deserve my generous treatment and attention. Moreover, some of these things are for our banquet."

Fu Huaichuan didn't want to add trouble and burden to Lin Xi's adoptive family because of his and Lin Xi's arrival.

He wanted to reduce the burden on Lin Xi's adoptive parents as much as possible, and also wanted them to be proud of Lin Xi's existence, so he would never save this money.

-

Peng family.

Mother Peng looked at the unfinished meat buns on the table and said with emotion, "If we had known Mingwei's brother was doing so well in the army, we should have married Jiaojiao to him and let him enjoy a better life."

Not everyone has the ability to be as generous as Fu Huaichuan these days.

Peng Zhendong, who was about to go to work, sneered when he heard this: "Mom, stop dreaming. Not to mention that Fu Huaichuan is married now, even if he is not married, he would not be interested in your ugly Peng Jiaojiao, who is lazy and loves to cause trouble. Your precious Jiaojiao is not worthy of Fu Huaichuan."

"Peng Zhendong, what did you say about your sister?"

Hearing that her precious daughter was despised by Peng Zhendong in this way, Peng's mother immediately became unhappy.

Peng Zhendong said nonchalantly: "What else can I say? Of course I say it with my mouth."

Without waiting for Mr. and Mrs. Peng to speak, Peng Zhendong continued, "Mom and Dad, since Xiaoxue has been taken home by the Fu family, I know you two miss your precious grandson. You should go back to the house and pack your things now. I will take the opportunity to push my bicycle and your luggage to take you back to the Peng family on my way to work so that you can reunite with your beloved son and daughter!"

"Zhendong, are you chasing us away?" Father Peng said unhappily.

"Dad, I don't want to chase you away. I'm just afraid that you'll secretly empty my house to subsidize my elder brother and younger sister while Mingwei and I are away, and you'll think my family is poor, so why don't we just live in peace like before? Of course, if you think I'm being unfilial, you can go to my unit and sue me. At worst, I'll just quit and take Mingwei and our two children to the edge of the motherland to build our motherland."

"Are you threatening us?"

"Whether it's a threat or not, we'll know if we try. Okay, I'm going to be late for work, stop wasting time, and go back to your room to pack your things so I can take you back."

Peng Zhendong was impatient to talk about these trivial things with Peng's father and mother, so he ended the topic immediately.

Even though Mr. and Mrs. Peng loved their eldest and youngest children the most, they really didn't dare to offend Peng Zhendong, because they knew in their hearts that among the three children, only Peng Zhendong and his wife never cared about the little things they had. Whenever they had something to do, as long as they called them, they would run around to help them, unlike the eldest and his wife who always had excuses of one kind or another...

"Zhendong, Jiaojiao is your sister after all. If there is another good young man like Fu Huaichuan around you, you should still think about your sister. After all, good things should not be wasted on outsiders..."

Peng Zhendong: “…”

He would never do such an immoral thing that would bring unrest to his brother's family!
