Chapter 962: The People from the Grain Station Come
After listening to Chuxue's explanation, Mother Qiu asked thoughtfully, "Why does it have to be two weeks after giving birth?"
Seeing that she had taken it in, Chu Xue felt relieved and lowered her voice, "Eating it too early may affect the discharge of lochia and even cause indigestion."
Mother Qiu didn't think Chuxue was being nosy. After all, she had only heard a little bit about it from others before. If she hadn't listened to her explanation, she was afraid that her daughter-in-law would have used it to make soup for the rest of her life. She felt a little scared: "Fortunately you told me, otherwise I would have used it to make soup for your sister right away. Fortunately, it's okay."
Father Xiao saw that his mother-in-law did not think Chu Xue was too nosy, and his face showed a lot of joy. As a father, he was really proud of his knowledgeable and talented daughter.
Just as they were chatting happily, Qiu Shaofeng ran into the yard: "Wife, I'm back."
There was joy in his words.
Xia Qiu stood up and walked to the door, only to see Qiu Shaofeng already there. "Looking at you, did this trip pay off?"
Qiu Shaofeng smiled, revealing his eight large white teeth. "It wasn't just that our trip wasn't in vain. We caught two traps, three chickens, and a rabbit. Today is such a good day. We're so lucky! Now we can show our gratitude to our parents-in-law."
On the way back, he had already made up his mind that the one he gave to his sister would be a snack for the whole family tonight. At least it would be fine as long as his wife didn't have one.
When the time comes, let my father-in-law take all the harvest in the basket away. He can keep a chicken and a rabbit for himself, and send the rest to Grandpa Xiao and Uncle Xiao's family, one chicken each, as their New Year gifts. My wife is already due, so it is not convenient for her to go to the city to pay New Year's greetings.
Zhuifeng saw the pheasants and rabbits in the basket, eager to try them out. Qiu Shaofeng was so scared that he quickly called out to his sister-in-law, "Chuxue, come out and take care of Zhuifeng."
As soon as Chuxue came out, she saw Zhuifeng drooling over the prey in the basket. He looked so silly that she burst out laughing: "Zhuifeng, you're so greedy."
Just as he was about to say something else, he heard a woman from the village who was visiting say, "Don't just say the dog is greedy. Yesterday I heard someone at the commune grain station was greedy for dog food. The dog was so hungry that it broke its leash and ran away."
The woman was just joking, but Chuxue frowned when she heard it: "Aunt, what's going on?"
Seeing Chuxue's interest, the woman joked, "I heard the commune grain station borrowed a dog to guard the granary, and the stationmaster even assigned someone to look after the dog. But guess what? The person coveted the dog's food and starved the dog so much that it had to run away."
Chuxue's face turned black at this. She said that Zhuifeng couldn't have run back home for no reason. She just thought that Zhuifeng didn't eat as well as he did at home, so he lost so much weight. She didn't expect that his food rations had been withheld.
I'm afraid the kid couldn't stand it anymore, so he just gave up.
What she didn't expect was that as soon as the aunt finished speaking, two bicycles stopped at the gate of the yard.
Someone asked, "Excuse me, is this Qiu Shaofeng's home?"
Chuxue had seen the man who was speaking before and recognized him at a glance as someone from the commune grain station. She had gone there to pay her grain tax before. "What do you want to do with my brother-in-law?"
The man was obviously stunned for a moment. He called Qiu Shaofeng "brother-in-law", so this must be Xiao Changsheng's daughter. "Are you the daughter of the Xiao family?"
There was no smile on Chuxue's face: "Yes."
An unnatural look flashed across the man's face: "Is your father here?"
Chuxue turned to Chunxiao who was standing at the door and said, "Call our dad out. Someone's looking for him."
Good night, everyone!
