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

Chapter 1021 stipulates that tomorrow's banquet will be a feast that everyone will enjoy.
As soon as Qiu's mother came in, she saw the pork in the basket and the fish, chicken and rabbit on the ground next to it: "This, this, these are not all extra dishes sent by our in-laws, are they?"

Xia Qiu spoke first: "Mom, my sister sent them over from home, but most of them were obtained by my second sister."

When Qiu's mother saw this, an unnatural look flashed across her face. After all, the family had only prepared five catties of pork, and the coupons were hard-earned. She was also thinking of going to the farm to exchange for some fish the next morning. She didn't expect her in-laws to be so generous as to send fish, chicken, and rabbit over.

Thinking that this was a token of Xia Qiu's family's goodwill: "Originally, my family only prepared five catties of meat. I was thinking of going to the farm tomorrow to exchange it for a few fish to make tofu stew with fish chunks. With this, plus the gift from my in-laws, I'm sure everyone will be satisfied with tomorrow's banquet."

Qiu Shaofeng nodded and said, "Okay, Mom, whatever you say is fine. There's something I want to tell you."

Looking at the ingredients, Qiu's mother quickly planned tomorrow's dishes, thinking about what she had prepared. She heard her son's voice: "What is it?"

Qiu Shaofeng pointed to the wild boar meat in the basket: "Mom, I'm thinking of keeping the five catties of pork from home and the breeding farm, and using the ten catties of wild boar meat that my in-laws sent for tomorrow's feast. What do you think?"

Mother Qiu naturally understood. Although she felt somewhat uncomfortable, since those meat coupons were hard-earned savings, she thought that exchanging them for ten catties of wild boar meat for a banquet would be twice as much meat, so the family would still make a profit: "Alright, then we'll do it your way."

Anyway, even if her daughter-in-law cooks special meals, her son will still get some. If her daughter-in-law eats well, her grandson will have milk to drink. She understands this calculation clearly.

Seeing that it was getting late, Chu Xue stood up: "The things have been delivered, I should go back now."

Mrs. Qiu quickly stopped her, saying, "There probably aren't any cars left at this time. Anyway, tomorrow is the full moon celebration, so you can stay here. Your aunt will cook you something delicious."

Chu Xue quickly explained, "I'm going back to Willow Village. My dad came back with me; he'd be worried if it got any later."

When Qiu's mother heard that her in-laws had also returned to the village, she said, "Oh, I see." Chu Xue was a quick-witted person. Once she said she was leaving, she didn't linger any longer: "Alright, you guys pack your things. I'll be going now. Sister, I'll come over tomorrow."

When Qiu Shaofeng heard his sister-in-law say she was leaving, he took out the basket and used the ashes to clean the bloodstains at the bottom of the basket: "I've cleaned the basket for you. I'll just need to shake off the ashes."

Mother Qiu followed her out, jogged into the kitchen, and took out six steamed buns made with a mixture of wheat and water from the cupboard, along with a small bowl of pickled vegetables: "Take these with you, you can just make a soup tonight."

Just as Chu Xue was about to refuse, Qiu's mother seemed to sense something and said, "I filled these steamed buns with red bean paste. They're very delicious. This is a small token of my appreciation, so you can't refuse."

Chu Xue glanced at Xia Qiu, who was peering out the window at her: "Okay, I'll take it. This has been a huge help to me. It'll save me a lot of trouble when I get back."

Qiu Shaomei smiled and poked her head out from the kitchen: "That's right, come over earlier tomorrow."

First Snow nodded: "Okay, then I'm off."

He waved to Xia Qiu inside the house and quickly left the Qiu family home.

Thinking that her sister-in-law had been back at work for a while, and that the wild boar meat in her space hadn't been plucked yet, it wasn't appropriate to take it out. However, she could send her a few fish to treat herself, since there was no shortage of freshwater fish in her space.
