1970s: A hot-tempered wife who accompanied a soldier to the military compound and made a fortune.

Chapter 1003 This must have cost you a lot of money.

Xia Qiu hadn't expected that Chu Xue still remembered these old stories: "I'm the eldest sister, it's only right that I take care of you. Besides, there aren't many girls in the village who can go to junior high school. I'm already very satisfied that I was able to finish junior high school."

Chu Xue didn't continue the topic. Instead, she turned around and took out the contents of her basket: "Keep these unprocessed foods in your own hands. Just leave the rest out in the open. Have your mother-in-law make some for you every day. Just enough for yourself."

She said this on purpose because she saw that Qiu's mother was standing under the window and hadn't left yet, so she continued, "These things were hard-won by the family. My dad and I used all the coupons we had saved up. Don't be stingy with these for my little nephew. We sent them over so that you can recover and feed my big nephew."

Seeing that Qiu's mother had already left, she didn't say anything more.

Xia Qiu was deeply moved by her sister's words: "I understand. Don't worry, with you all thinking of me so much, I'm sure I'll have a good postpartum period."

It wasn't that Chu Xue was being too calculating; it was just that some elders always thought that brothers should support each other. After all, another daughter-in-law was also heavily pregnant, so Qiu's mother couldn't help but soften her heart and share the food she had prepared for her sister.

Chu Xue and Fu Yancheng had already agreed before they arrived that they wouldn't have lunch at the Qiu family's house.

After all, the Qiu family currently has one daughter-in-law in postpartum confinement, another daughter-in-law heavily pregnant, and the Qiu family's great-grandmother's health has been deteriorating recently, so she didn't want to cause trouble for others.

Xia Qiu gasped when she saw what was taken out: "Xue, this must have cost you a lot of money, right?"

Chu Xue laughed and said, "It's true that I prepared the things, but Dad paid for them, so you can keep them without worry."

Hearing her sister's words, Xia Qiu felt a warm current flow through her heart, thinking that when she was better off in the future, she would definitely repay her family.

She was so moved that she didn't notice the person peering out the window.

Chu Xue naturally saw it, but this was the Qiu family home, and she couldn't very well turn them away. Besides, it was good that they saw it, so as to let them know that her sister was very favored in her parents' home, and thus deter them from causing trouble. After a while, Qiu's mother came in with a bowl of steamed egg custard: "Xia Qiu, come and eat it while it's hot."

Just then, my brother-in-law Qiu Shaofeng walked in.

Chu Xue had some business to attend to upon returning to the city. Seeing her brother-in-law come in, she said, "Brother-in-law, take this chicken and prepare it properly before freezing it. There are also three frozen fish; that should be enough for my sister to eat for a few days."

Qiu Shaofeng was surprised by his sister-in-law's generosity: "This is way too much."

“I have to go to work soon, so I probably won’t have time to come over recently. It’s cold now, so I can freeze it in a small jar in the shady spot in the yard. It won’t spoil. With what your aunt and uncle have prepared, and if you occasionally go up the mountain to hunt a pheasant or something, my sister won’t go hungry during her postpartum period.”

Hearing this, Qiu's mother naturally understood what Chuxue meant: "Our Junjun is a lucky man."

Chu Xue took out a red paper packet from her pocket: "Auntie, you know my mother's situation. She's barely able to take care of herself right now. Please take good care of my sister. This is what my father asked me to give you so I can say thank you for your hard work."

Qiu's mother quickly declined, saying, "It's only natural for me, as a mother-in-law and grandmother, to serve my daughter-in-law and grandson. How could I possibly accept this?"

Chu Xue directly handed the snowflakes to Qiu's mother, saying, "These are my parents' thoughtful gifts; please accept them."

Xia Qiu knew that her younger sister had probably prepared the red envelope herself. After all, her parents probably wouldn't have thought of such a thing. Her sister had even thought of these things for her, and she felt touched again.
