Chapter 996 This girl is too brave
Chuxue thought that there wouldn't be much rice after removing the husk, so she filled a small cloth bag with about eight pounds of rice. The rice produced in the space naturally had a higher yield than ordinary rice outside, and could produce about 70% of refined rice. She had already experimented with this before.
With this rice, plus the millet they prepared, there will naturally be no shortage of food during the confinement period.
She also took out about three pounds of white flour from the things she had looted before. Anyway, she would not give these things directly to the Qiu family. She would only put them in her sister's room, under her sister's nose, and just think that she was petty.
I took these to the house in the courtyard and kept them ready. I also packed a basket of eggs. The basket was not big and held about sixty eggs.
After preparing these, she went to tie up two hens. Regardless of whether her brother-in-law could go up the mountain to catch pheasants, and regardless of whether Qiu's mother was prepared, her mother's family naturally had to give them away. This was her mother's family's concern for her sister, and it was also her sister's confidence in her husband's family, and it was also a disguised way of supporting her sister.
I didn't prepare anything else. I just waited until tomorrow morning when I went out to take two fish out of the space. When I came back after a walk, they should be frozen.
After preparing everything, I boiled some water for myself to take a bath, and then left the space and went to sleep.
She got up early the next day, but she didn't expect that the lights were on in Xiao's room.
She took a set of old clothes and put them on, then went out, opened the door and left home.
As soon as she left, Xiao's mother, who hadn't gotten up yet, spoke up: "Dad, why did I hear the sound of the door opening?"
Father Xiao had just put on his shoes and said, "I think I heard it too. Lie down for a while. I'll go take a look."
Having said that, he put on his coat and left the house.
After a while, the man came back, frowning slightly: "The door is open, Chuxue must have gone out."
When Xiao's mother heard this, she couldn't lie down anymore: "How do you know she went out?"
After coughing a few times, Father Xiao said, "Her door is open, and there's no one in the room."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao's mother knew everything: "This girl is too brave."
Father Xiao rolled himself a cigarette with torn newspaper and lit it: "If we were not useless parents, she wouldn't have to think about all this."
An unnatural look flashed across Xiao's mother's face: "I'm not worried about her safety yet."
Father Xiao turned around and saw that his wife had sat up, touching her belly, but she didn't say anything. He knew in his heart that his wife was worried about their daughter, but she was more afraid that if something happened to their daughter again, it would affect the family. After all, her current life was something she had never dared to dream of before, and she was even more afraid of losing it.
Mother Xiao naturally couldn't sleep, so she simply got dressed and went downstairs: "We still have some white flour at home. I'll give some to Chuxue to take to Xia Qiu so that she can have something good to eat during the confinement period."
Father Xiao nodded slightly and said, "You take care of it."
When Xiao's mother left the house, Xiao's father followed her all the time: "Let me do the work that requires climbing high, stepping low, and bending over."
Xiao's mother knew he meant well: "We still have some beef jerky that we brought back before the first snow. Why don't you give some to Xia Qiu? If he gets hungry, he can chew it to fill his stomach."
Father Xiao said, "Didn't they say you can't eat anything too hard during the confinement period because it will hurt your teeth?"
As Xiao's mother packed her things, she said, "That's what the old saying says, but if you don't eat something good during the confinement period, not only will you have milk, but you might even develop a disease. The beef jerky Chuxue brought back isn't the dry kind. If that doesn't work, just let her soak it in a bowl for a while."
After hearing this, Father Xiao said: "You should save some for yourself. After all, you are feeding two people by yourself."
