At home, after the children were picked up, Shen Qiaoyue returned from work and everything was very quiet.

Shen Qiaoyue was not very willing to cook for herself.

Sit down and quietly space out.

"Sister Qiaoyue?" Zhang Hongying came in from outside and said cheerfully, "Didn't you say you wanted eggs? I'll get them for you."

Zhang Hongying and Meng Xinguo got married not long after the Chinese New Year, and now they have moved into the family compound and become military dependents.

Shen Qiaoyue looked at the eggs that Zhang Hongying had brought over, stood up to take them, and smiled as she invited Zhang Hongying to sit down.

"Sit down?" Shen Qiaoyue was about to pour water for Zhang Hongying.

"Sister Qiaoyue, I have to go back and cook, so I won't chat with you any longer." Zhang Hongying also rushed back to cook as soon as she got off work.

"You're in such a hurry? How much is this egg? I'll pay you." Shen Qiaoyue took out some money from her pocket.

“No need.” Zhang Hongying reached out to stop her, saying, “Last time, when my mother-in-law was sick, you gave us an old hen, and you didn’t accept any money. You can take this.”

“No, this time I need your help, so I can’t go without paying. Your mother-in-law is sick, and we neighbors can’t go empty-handed. We’re all neighbors, so it’s normal to help each other out.” As she spoke, Shen Qiaoyue reached into her pocket to give Zhang Hongying some money.

"Sister Qiaoyue, let's not be so calculating," Zhang Hongying said. "I was able to marry Xinguo because of your introduction. I'm doing well now because of you. Don't be so polite with me. You wanted to give these eggs to Xiaoli during her postpartum period. Consider it a token of our goodwill. There's also brown sugar in here. Just say it's a gift from both of us."

Seeing this, Shen Qiaoyue didn't say anything.

“Okay, I’ll take it over later. Just say it’s a token of our affection.” Shen Qiaoyue happened to have some free time today. “Yesterday, I heard Xiang Shulan say that Xiaoli’s family didn’t have any eggs, so I thought I’d take some over to her. After giving birth, she needs to replenish her nutrients. The supply and marketing cooperative doesn’t sell meat, and Xiaoli can’t go without meat during her postpartum period. I can only try to find some eggs to supplement her nutrition.”

"Sister Qiaoyue, you are really good to Xiaoli." Zhang Hongying could tell that Shen Qiaoyue cared a lot for Xia Xiaoli.

Shen Qiaoyue smiled, her eyes sparkling, and said to Zhang Hongying, "Xiaoli is a gentle girl. Spend more time with her, and you'll understand why I'm so heartbroken."

"Alright, that's all for now, I'm going back first," Zhang Hongying said, turning and leaving.

“Okay, I’ll take the basket back to you later,” She Nanqiao said to Zhang Hongying.

"I'll come to you when I need it urgently," Zhang Hongying said before walking away.

This residential compound is becoming more and more lively.

Zhang Hongying's mother-in-law fell ill, so they brought her here to stay for a while. Zhang Hongying got along very well with her mother-in-law.

Xia Xiaoli is currently in her postpartum confinement period, so Shen Qiaoyue is preparing to send these eggs over.

The mother needs to ensure she gets adequate nutrition every day during her postpartum period.

Xia Xiaoli and Lu He are like sisters. Xia Xiaoli wrote to ask her sister-in-law to take good care of Xiaoli, saying that if she doesn't take good care of herself during her postpartum period, she will suffer from many illnesses in the future.

They also wired money to Shen Qiaoyue.
