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

Chapter 927 What nonsense are you spouting? Why can't you keep your mouth shut?
After Zhuifeng followed them into the house, Chuxue took the sack off the dog's back and said, "Sister, Mom asked me to bring you diapers and a swaddle blanket for your baby."

As he spoke, he pulled a bundle from the sack.

Then she brought out two small cloth bags: "These contain some oil tea powder that I prepared for you. You can make it and drink it anytime you get hungry."

Xia Qiu was surprised that her younger sister had thought so much for her: "Xue, I really don't know how to thank you."

Thinking of something, she looked at Qiu Shaofeng and said, "Go and get the cotton shoes I made for Chuxue, and also get that blue bundle from the closet."

When Chu Xue brought out the beef and mutton from below, Qiu Shaofeng also brought over what Xia Qiu had mentioned.

Xia Qiu handed a pair of brown corduroy cotton shoes to Chu Xue: "I made these based on the style worn by educated youth in the city. Try them on and see if they fit."

Xia Qiu clearly put a lot of effort into these shoes. After all, there wasn't a ready-made model, so she had to make her own. And although they were handmade shoes, they were made very delicately by her skillful hands. Chu Xue liked them at first sight: "Sister, you must have gone through a lot of trouble, right?"

Seeing that she liked it, Xia Qiu smiled and said, "I'm glad you like it, go ahead and try it."

Qiu Shaofeng was quite perceptive: "You guys talk, I'll go check the kitchen."

Before the sisters could reply, he had already turned and walked out.

After seeing her brother-in-law leave, Chu Xue changed her shoes and stood up, saying, "Sister, your skills are absolutely amazing, it looks so beautiful."

Xia Qiu hurriedly opened the bundle as well: "I also made a pair of pants for you and Chunxiao. Try them on as well. If any don't fit, I can alter them for you right now."

After saying that, he got up and closed the door.

Chu Xue, not wanting to spoil the mood, tried on the pants as well: "Sister, you didn't even measure my size, how did you manage to fit me so well?" Xia Qiu looked her up and down: "Before I got married, I made pants for you and Chun Xiao. Now you've grown taller and aren't as skinny as before, so I just added a little size."

Chu Xue was delighted: "Sister, you're a natural-born tailor. When you're able to start a business in the future, I'll definitely invest in you, and we can go into the clothing business together."

As soon as she said that, Xia Qiu raised her hand and slapped her: "What nonsense are you spouting? Why can't you keep your mouth shut? What did I say about you last time? Why don't you remember?"

Chu Xue knew she was worried about her: "I remember, there are no outsiders here."

Xia Qiu was still worried, so she opened the door and looked around: "Don't you know that walls have ears? This whole family lives together, who knows who's who? What if someone reports us? Do you want to be okay?"

As Chu Xue changed her pants, she said, "I know, I won't do it again."

Xia Qiu then let her go, pointing to another pair of pants in the bundle: "That's what I made for Chunxiao, please take it back with you."

As she spoke, she got up and pulled out a wicker basket from under the cabinet, which contained a lot of dried red dates: "These were traded with someone by your brother-in-law a few days ago. I'll keep some for myself, and you can take some back to Grandpa and Mom."

Chu Xue refused, saying, "You keep it for yourself. I'll try to get some for them later."

Xia Qiu disagreed: "I have something ready-made here, why bother with that? Besides, you've already taken care of us a lot, how can you shoulder everything?"

As she spoke, she took out two small cloth bags that she had sewn herself from the cabinet and put them in: "I was originally thinking of asking your brother-in-law to make a trip, but since you're here, I'll trouble you to take them back. My due date is in the next few days, and your brother-in-law is so worried that I'll go into labor as soon as he leaves."
