Chapter 716 I can do it myself, don't just look after me.
He simply followed Chu Xue into the main room and, upon seeing the strangers inside, asked, "Who's this?"

Liu's mother pointed to Chunxiao and said, "Dujuan, this is your cousin Chunxiao."

Then she looked at Chunxiao and said, "This is your cousin Dujuan from your maternal uncle's family."

Du Juan smiled at Chunxiao and said, "Hello, Cousin Chunxiao."

Chunxiao asked with a doubtful look, "My cousin from my maternal uncle's family?"

After saying that, she looked at Chuxue and said, "Second sister, when did we get an uncle? Doesn't our maternal family only have one daughter, Mom?"

Seeing her like this, Chu Xue said, "Grandma's side is Mom's adoptive parents' home. You know that, right? Your cousin Dujuan is our maternal uncle's daughter. We've already verified that."

Chunxiao looked at Dujuan and saw that she looked seven or eight parts like her mother, so she didn't disbelieve her second sister's words: "Hello, cousin."

After they greeted each other, Liu's mother urged everyone to take their seats quickly.

In addition to two meat dishes, I also stir-fried some hot and sour shredded potatoes and chopped a plate of pickled vegetable shreds.

Liu's mother kept a close eye on Dujuan, afraid that she would feel uncomfortable, and kept putting food on her plate.

Chu Xue originally wanted to tell Du Juan to do it herself, but seeing Liu's mother's still swollen eyes, she swallowed her words.

Fu Yancheng, who was next to her, thought she was envious, so he kept putting food on her plate.

Chu Xue looked up and saw his expression, and immediately understood what he was thinking: "I can do it myself, don't just look after me."

Chunxiao looked up at them, then at her mother and her newly recognized cousin, and then at her own bowl, and shoved her chopsticks into the bowl.

Liu's father naturally saw her action and put a piece of meat into her bowl: "Eat."

Chunxiao was still a little confused when she saw the meat in the bowl.

That expression made Chu Xue laugh.

Chunxiao felt a little embarrassed and coughed lightly, "Second sister, when are you leaving tomorrow?" Chuxue did not answer but looked at Fu Yancheng.

Fu Yancheng thought for a moment and said, "Later this afternoon, we'll go up the mountain to collect firewood tomorrow."

When Liu's father heard him say that, he quickly stopped him, saying, "No, you're not fully recovered yet. How can you go up the mountain to chop firewood?"

Mother Liu raised her hand and gave Old Habit a tap on the forehead again: "I knew something was wrong. It seems that pregnancy really does make you stupid for three years. How could I forget about Yansheng's injury? How is the recovery?"

Fu Yancheng had just served Chu Xue a bowl of egg drop soup: "She's almost fully recovered, and chopping firewood shouldn't be a problem."

Chu Xue glared at him: "Shut up. If you really want to go up the mountain to chop firewood, carrying firewood is no problem, but chopping firewood is a no-go. Your back has just scabbed over, and those tender little flesh on your back can't take your abuse."

Fu Yancheng wanted to say something, but seeing Chuxue looking at him, he said, "Okay, then I'll help carry it down the mountain."

This time, Chu Xue didn't stop him. After all, with the support of her spatial pool, as long as he didn't do anything strenuous, he should be fine doing physical labor.

Then Fu Yancheng said, "I was just saying I'd come over to help you with the crops in your private plots during the autumn harvest, but I ended up getting injured and being hospitalized."

At this moment, Liu's father interjected, "It's good that you have the intention. You can't control your injuries. The most important thing is to recover."

After the meal, Chunxiao washed the dishes.

When she came out of the kitchen, she saw her second sister standing in the yard: "Second sister, what are you doing standing here?"

Chu Xue turned to look at her: "I've been waiting for you."

Chunxiao felt a little guilty: "Did Second Sister want to see me about something?"

Chu Xue stared into her eyes: "I won't say anything about where you ran off to before, but now that Mom is pregnant, it's not right for you not to come back and help after school."

"I went to find someone to tutor me in order to improve my studies."
