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

Chapter 962 The Grain Station People Came
After listening to Chuxue's explanation, Qiu's mother looked thoughtful and asked, "Why does it have to be two weeks postpartum?"

Seeing that she had taken it to heart, Chu Xue was relieved and lowered her voice to say, "Eating it too early may affect the discharge of lochia and even cause indigestion."

Mrs. Qiu didn't think Chu Xue was being nosy. After all, she had only heard a little bit about it from others before. If it weren't for Chu Xue's explanation, her daughter-in-law would probably have used it to make soup. This gave her a sense of lingering fear: "Luckily you told me, otherwise I would have used it to make soup for your sister right away. Thank goodness."

Seeing that his mother-in-law didn't mind his daughter's meddlesome first snow, Mr. Xiao's face lit up with joy. As a father, he was truly proud of his learned and talented daughter.

Just as they were having a pleasant conversation, Qiu Shaofeng ran into the yard: "Wife, I'm back."

His words were full of joy.

Xia Qiu got up and went to the door, only to see Qiu Shaofeng already there: "Judging from your appearance, this trip wasn't in vain?"

Qiu Shaofeng grinned, revealing eight big white teeth: "It wasn't a wasted trip at all. Two traps yielded three chickens and a rabbit. Today is truly a lucky day. We've really struck gold. Now we can finally show our appreciation to our parents-in-law."

On his way back, he had already decided that the one he had left for his sister to handle would be a special meal for the whole family tonight, as long as his wife would get one.

The harvest in the basket will be taken by my father-in-law. He can keep one chicken and one rabbit for himself, and the rest can be given to Grandpa Xiao and Uncle Xiao as New Year's gifts. My wife is due to give birth, so it is inconvenient for her to go to the city to pay New Year's visits.

When Zhui Feng saw the pheasants and rabbits in the basket, he was eager to try them out, which scared Qiu Shaofeng so much that he quickly called out to his sister-in-law, "Chu Xue, come out and keep an eye on Zhui Feng!"

As soon as Chu Xue came out, she saw Zhui Feng staring at the prey in the basket on his back, drooling. He looked so silly that it made her burst out laughing: "Zhui Feng, you're so greedy!"

Just as I was about to say something more, I heard a woman from the village who had come to visit say, "Don't even mention dogs being greedy for this. Yesterday I heard that someone at the commune's grain station was so hungry that the dog broke its leash and ran away."

The woman was just joking, but Chuxue frowned when she heard it: "Auntie, what exactly happened?" Seeing that Chuxue was interested, the woman continued to laugh: "I heard that the commune's grain station borrowed a dog to guard the grain warehouse, and the station chief even specially assigned someone to take care of the dog. But guess what? That person actually stole the dog's food, and the dog was so hungry that it had to run away."

Chu Xue's face darkened immediately. She said that Zhui Feng couldn't have run home for no reason. She just thought that Zhui Feng was not eating well at home, which was why he had lost so much weight. She never expected that his food rations had been cut.

It seems the little guy had reached his limit and simply gave up.

To her surprise, as soon as the aunt finished speaking, two bicycles stopped at the gate of the courtyard.

Someone asked, "Excuse me, is this Qiu Shaofeng's house?"

Chu Xue recognized the man who spoke; he was from the commune's grain station, and she had gone with him to deliver grain before. "What do you want with my brother-in-law?"

The man was clearly taken aback. He called Qiu Shaofeng "brother-in-law," so this must be Xiao Changsheng's daughter: "You're a daughter of the Xiao family?"

Chu Xue's face showed no trace of a smile: "Yes."

An unnatural look flashed across the man's face: "Is your father here?"

Chu Xue turned to Chun Xiao at the door and said, "Call Dad out, someone's looking for you."

　Goodnight, everyone!
