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

Chapter 274 She panicked a little.

Standing outside the door, Mr. Liu overheard the conversation between the mother and her two daughters inside.

He wiped his face, trying to calm his thoughts: his second daughter was right, he couldn't go from one extreme to another. He was very content with the life he had now. Even those men in the village with lots of sons didn't live as well as he did. One should be content.

As for the son, Chu Xue is right. What is destined to happen will happen eventually. Even if they don't have him, don't we still have three daughters?
Not wanting to disturb the people inside, he turned and went out the door, intending to check on his private plot.

His leg has now basically recovered, but Chu Xue said that if he wants to avoid any long-term effects, he has to listen to her. She said that if he wants to go back to work, he won't be able to until at least the beginning of next month.

However, he wasn't idle. These past few days, the Party Secretary asked him to help out with the animal husbandry. He couldn't do heavy work, but he could still do things like adding fodder for the livestock, and at least he could earn four work points a day.

After comforting Liu's mother, Chu Xue went straight to the kitchen.

Chunxiao was dumbfounded; her second sister hadn't even glanced at her.

And what did my second sister mean by what she just said? Did she mean that our parents might be able to have another child, and even if they couldn't, they wouldn't force her to find a husband?

By the way, my second sister just said that she was being used without realizing it. What does that mean?
For some reason, she panicked when her second sister and mother ignored her.

Chu Xue had just finished chopping the vegetables when she heard someone outside calling her name: "Chu Xue, are you there?"

Chu Xue poked her head out from the kitchen: "Yuanyuan, come in quickly, why are you here at this time?"

Liu Zhiyuan smiled broadly: "Today my mom and I went up the mountain and happened to come across an apricot tree. I heard you say you were going to Xia Qiu's place in a few days. My mom said that pregnant women like sour food, so she brought some over."

"You've really hit the nail on the head with my sister. I brought her some apricots the other day, and she loved them."

"I was just planning to go there after my exams tomorrow, this is perfect, saves me the trouble of going up the mountain. Thank you, Yuanyuan."

"Oh, with our relationship, why are you being so polite with me?"

"Yes, yes, yes, I won't stand on ceremony with you."

"Alright, the stuff's delivered. I'm heading back now; my mom's waiting for me to come home for dinner." "Wait a minute."

Chu Xue went back to her room and took out a small packet of spicy dried fish wrapped in oil paper: "This is dried fish I made myself, don't think it's too little."

"It's done?"

"Well, but there aren't many after drying. I'll have to send the rest to my sister. You can have a taste."

"Hehe, you're so kind, still thinking of me. I'll take it then."

Just as Liu Zhiyuan left, her father returned carrying a bunch of cilantro: "Who was here just now?"

“It’s Yuanyuan. She went into the mountains this afternoon and picked some apricots. She knew I was going to my sister’s after the exam, so she brought some over for me to take to her.”

"By the way, when are you planning to go?"

"After the exam tomorrow, I'll go there the day after tomorrow unless there are special circumstances."

“Okay, we have some ripe tomatoes at home, and we can also pick some cucumbers and some melons that are ready to eat from the side of the field. We’ll pick some of them and send them to her when the time comes.”

The Qiu family has many members, so they probably can't give her everything from their own plot of land. I've heard that it's good for pregnant women to eat more vegetables and fruits, so please take some with you.”

"Who did you listen to?"

I overheard those family members chatting while I was at the hospital.

Chu Xue couldn't help but laugh: "It seems your hospital stay wasn't a waste of time; at least you heard a lot of useful information."
