Chapter 188 Good Intentions
When Chu Xue heard this, she realized that getting water would indeed be a problem in the future. After all, there were only two wells in the village, and the nearest well was quite a distance away from the new house. It was indeed inconvenient to fetch water: "Dad, why don't we ask someone to dig a well near the new house."
Father Liu waved his hand and refused without thinking: "No, no, it's too high-profile."
Chu Xue looked up at him and said, "But everyone knows that I have money. Instead of attracting attention every time, it is better to do it all at once. This way, everyone will believe that we have spent all the money I have."
Fu Yancheng just came back from fetching water, and when he heard this, he agreed, "You should listen to Chuxue, otherwise the new house is too far from the well, and it will be too difficult for you to fetch water. It's okay in the summer, but it will be troublesome in the winter."
Chu Xue saw that Father Liu was still hesitating: "The doctor said that even if your leg is healed, you can't do heavy work in the future. Do you want to watch my mother or us walk such a long way to fetch water in the future?"
Hearing this, Father Liu finally nodded: "Okay, then I'll listen to you."
Fu Yancheng then replied: "I'll go back and find someone who knows the business and ask him to come and help find a suitable place to dig a well."
Father Liu was a little embarrassed: "Is it too much trouble for you?"
Fu Yancheng wanted to perform well, so he quickly said, "It's not a problem. He's the son of a family friend of mine. He's an expert in this area. It's better than trying everywhere."
With Fu Yancheng's participation, the fish processing speed became faster.
Soon, after Chuxue prepared the seasoning, all the fish here were chopped into pieces and set aside.
At this moment, Liu's mother came running over with a pot of tofu in her hand: "Oh, I made it just in time. The Cao family made tofu today, and I exchanged a few pieces for it. It's just right to stew it with the fish."
Chu Xue's face was full of smiles: "That's great. By the way, Mom, have you steamed the two-grain steamed buns?"
As Liu's mother walked out of the school, she replied, "Don't worry, it won't delay our reward dinner tonight."
When the smell of stewed fish came out, the men started drooling.
Liangzi came over and shouted, "Everyone, hurry up and finish today's work, so we can finish work early and have a reward meal."
So everyone's enthusiasm was aroused and everyone worked very hard.
These days, it’s hard to get enough to eat, let alone eat well, so everyone is really looking forward to this stew as a reward meal for the host.
Chuxue saw that the fish was almost cooked: "Brother-in-law, don't wait until tomorrow to come back. I'm worried about my sister walking on the mountain road. I've put out a small basin of fish. Come back to the old house with me. You two can have dinner with Fu Yancheng first, and he will take you back later."
Qiu Shaofeng was too embarrassed to say, "No, no, we can just take the main road back tomorrow."
Chu Xue has already discussed this with Fu Yancheng: "I have already told Fu Yancheng, just listen to me, my sister is the most important now."
Fu Yancheng also echoed: "It's just a matter of stepping on the accelerator. This way Chuxue can feel more at ease."
Now that things have come to this, Qiu Shaofeng naturally can't refuse any longer.
Together with Chuxue, he carried the fish back to the old house.
Chuxue had already mentioned this to her sister, and by now Xia Qiu had already packed herself up.
Mother Liu served them egg soup and brought them steamed buns made of 200g flour. "Eat them while they're hot."
This pot of fish might be different from the fish in the big pot. Chuxue was afraid that she would have pregnancy reactions, so after scooping it out, she added some space pond water into it.
Seeing Xia Qiu eat a piece and find nothing unusual, Chu Xue felt relieved.
Asking Fu Yancheng to send them back was naturally meant to support her sister. After all, her sister was pregnant and couldn't let others bully her.
