Because of the rain, Shen Qiaoyue couldn't go to work at the factory, so she stayed home cutting fabric and making new clothes.

During the day, Zhang Juanjuan and Grandma Zhao would come over from time to time to chat with Shen Qiaoyue, mainly to soothe her emotions.

It's good to help each other out. Lu Chen isn't home, and Shen Qiaoyue is pregnant again, so everyone can come over from time to time to take care of her and chat to relieve her boredom.

That afternoon, the rain finally subsided.

Liu Xinlan came back from outside carrying a large bag of groceries.

"Why did you buy so many vegetables?" Shen Qiaoyue asked as she sat in the living room, seeing Liu Xinlan come in carrying a basket of vegetables.

Liu Xinlan went into the kitchen before she could respond, and Shen Qiaoyue, not getting the result she wanted, put down her work and followed her into the kitchen.

"Sister-in-law Shulan was discharged from the hospital today, but she has no one to take care of her. I bought some groceries for her family, and I also bought some for you. I put them in the basket." Liu Xinlan had no choice but to buy some, as Xiang Shulan had been unable to get out of bed for days and had no one to take care of her.

As a doctor and a family member in the family compound, Liu Xinlan had no choice but to shoulder this responsibility.

"Be careful when you cook at home. I'm going to Sister Shulan's house to cook." Liu Xinlan put the vegetables down and was about to leave.

"How much is this money? I'll give it to you. You've been buying me groceries so often these past few days, I feel so bad." Shen Qiaoyue always went out a little late, and each time either Bai Le or Liu Xinlan would come back with the groceries.

"No need. She's still your sister-in-law. How much money can she make from buying groceries?" Liu Xinlan genuinely treated Shen Qiaoyue like a younger sister. Besides, even if she hadn't married Xu Qianli, she and Shen Qiaoyue could still have been good friends.

Shen Qiaoyue, however, did not think so.

"It's not about the money. I'm really fine. You don't need to help me buy groceries; I can go and buy them myself. You and Bai Le are both doctors, so busy. Doing these trivial things is a waste of your time." Shen Qiaoyue was just a little embarrassed. "I'm eating well, sleeping well, and I don't have any psychological trauma."

After a few days, Shen Qiaoyue was no longer afraid, and since the child was fine, she hadn't suffered any losses.

Liu Xinlan said, "That's different. I'm your sister-in-law, so it's only right that I take care of you."

"By the way, after we eat, I'll take you to the hospital for a check-up. You've been discharged for several days, and you haven't been to the hospital yet." Liu Xinlan patted Shen Qiaoyue's shoulder and instructed, "Eat something light. I'll go now."

"How much is it? I didn't take the money."

Liu Xinlan was too lazy to answer Shen Qiaoyue.

Helpless, Shen Qiaoyue sighed. After dinner, she would make Liu Xinlan a new outfit to thank her.

Otherwise, I wouldn't feel right.

Recently, Shen Qiaoyue has been cooking for herself. After lunch, feeling that there was still time, she bought some glutinous rice flour. Shen Qiaoyue remembered that the cake made by Jiang Jinjing in her previous life was called something like "Snow Mochi". Based on her memory, Shen Qiaoyue prepared white sugar, cornstarch, and bought some fruit and red beans.

Mix glutinous rice flour, cornstarch, white sugar, and a little milk together, then put it in a pot and bring it to a boil.

Shen Qiaoyue waited a week for milk to make this, as the limited milk was often hard to find.

Shen Qiaoyue prepared some sweet potatoes and chestnuts from the morning. After boiling the chestnuts and peeling them, she steamed them in a pot, then mashed them with something and mixed them with smooth mashed potatoes.

Add some glutinous rice flour, stir-fry until cooked, and set aside.

Separating the eggs from the egg whites and whipping the egg whites into cream, Shen Qiaoyue had been experimenting for several days in advance. Today, with the weather nice, it was the perfect opportunity to show off her skills.

Fruit and cream together create one flavor, chestnut filling and sweet potato filling each create another flavor, resulting in three different fillings.

After the glutinous rice flour is steamed, it is taken out and cooled.

After waiting for almost an hour, take out the steamed glutinous rice flour, knead it into a long, round dough, cut it into small pieces, roll it out into thin wrappers, and then put the filling inside.

They finished wrapping all the dough in half an hour.

Shen Qiaoyue tried it, and the taste was just right, not too sweet and not sticky.

Feeling a great sense of accomplishment, Shen Qiaoyue happily took it to share with Shulan's family.

If these are together, they will stick together, so I added some cooked glutinous rice flour to keep them slippery.

We arrived at Xiang Shulan's house.

The living room door was open, and Shen Qiaoyue could hear noises coming from inside the room.

"Sister-in-law Shulan, is Xinlan here?" Shen Qiaoyue called out into the room.

“I’m home, you can come in,” Xiang Shulan replied directly.

Liu Xinlan got up and walked towards the door. Seeing Shen Qiaoyue, she asked, "Why are you here? What are you carrying?"

"Try this cake I made." It took a lot of effort to make, so I definitely have to share it.

Liu Xinlan thought the presentation was quite good.

Shen Qiaoyue handed it to Liu Xinlan with great anticipation.

"Try it?" Seeing that Liu Xinlan was staring at it without making a move, Shen Qiaoyue pointed to the mochi in the bowl and explained, "This one has sweet potato filling, fruit filling, and chestnut filling. There was originally a red bean one, but I forgot about it because I put the red bean one aside."

Liu Xinlan heard Shen Qiaoyue's excited tone as she accepted the message.

"Okay, I'll try the fruit filling." Liu Xinlan picked one up and took a small bite, just to give it a try.

Shen Qiaoyue stared at Liu Xinlan with curious eyes.

"It's quite delicious. We've never had this flavor of cake before; it's very novel." Liu Xinlan found it more and more delicious as she chewed.

Shen Qiaoyue happily carried it into the room, but noticed that Xiang Shulan didn't look well.

"Sister-in-law Shulan, are you feeling better?" Shen Qiaoyue originally wanted Xiang Shulan to try it, but seeing her like this, she was a little worried.
