Chapter 1375 I'll figure something out then.
Granny Cui knew that Fu Yancheng held a higher position than her own son, and her words had an effect, so she stopped making a fuss.
When Chu Xue saw him return, she immediately gave him a thumbs up: "It's a good thing you were here, otherwise I probably wouldn't have been able to take a lunch break today."
Fu Yanwan worked quickly and had already washed the dishes: "Fourth Sister-in-law, while things are quiet across the street, you should go back to your room and rest for a while."
Chu Xue thought about what she needed to do in the afternoon: "Xiao Wan, there are red dates in that black earthenware pot in the kitchen. Find them for me and see if there are enough. If not, we'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative this afternoon."
Fu Yanwan smiled and replied, "Okay."
Fu Yancheng pulled the person back into the house, and then Chu Xue said, "When I'm in confinement, do you think I could talk to Uncle Zhang and ask him to approve a long leave for Xiao Wan?"
Fu Yancheng chuckled and said, "I'll figure something out when the time comes."
He had actually thought of this before. After all, his wife and younger sister got along well. They could chat and eat together, which reduced conflicts and made things easier for him.
As the two were talking, Chu Xue fell asleep. Fu Yancheng settled her down and looked at her sleeping face, his heart softening. "My wife told him her guess this morning. After a moment of stunned silence, he was overjoyed and wanted to take her for a checkup. But my wife said she had eaten breakfast and that if she needed to have her blood drawn, it would be better to do it on an empty stomach."
Actually, Chu Xue guessed that her parents' family might come today, but she wasn't sure, so she made up an excuse.
When Chu Xue woke up in the afternoon, Fu Yanwan was already in the kitchen preparing: "Fourth Sister-in-law, you're awake."
Just as she was about to say something, she heard Mo Ruhua's voice from outside: "Sister-in-law."
Mo Ruhua went to the city for pre-job training these past few days. As soon as she returned and put down her things, she came over: "You've finished your training?"
Mo Ruhua nodded: "It's over. I can stay home for a while and go back to work when school starts."
Chu Xue smiled and said, "Actually, being a teacher is pretty good. You can even take winter and summer vacations."
Mo Ruhua blushed, seemingly lost in thought.
Seeing her like this, Chu Xue couldn't help but tease her, "I didn't say anything inappropriate, why are you blushing?"
Mo Ruhua coughed lightly: "No, you must have mistaken me for someone else."
Hearing the noise, Fu Yanwan came out of the kitchen.
This conveniently saved Mo Ruhua from her predicament: "Xiao Wan, when did you arrive?"
When Fu Yanwan saw that it was Mo Ruhua, she laughed and said, "I was wondering why that voice sounded so familiar. It turns out it's Sister-in-law Ruhua."
At first, Chu Xue had some doubts, but then she thought that the Fu family and the Shen family had a history, so it was normal for her sister-in-law to know Mo Ruhua.
Three women make a drama, let alone three women who share the same interests and love food.
Knowing they were going to make red date cakes, he didn't go back to tidy up: "Alright, I'll lend you a hand. I can learn how to make them myself later."
Since there was no fresh milk, Chu Xue used milk powder instead. The three of them chatted and laughed as they first washed and pitted the red dates, cut them into small pieces, and steamed them. Then they mashed the steamed red dates into a paste, added the prepared milk, and mixed it into a smooth, pourable consistency.
The task of cracking the eggs was naturally taken by Fu Yancheng.
Now that the back has scabbed over, there shouldn't be any major problems as long as you're careful. As long as you don't pull on the wound and engage in moderate activity to promote blood circulation, it will be beneficial for tissue repair, so Chuxue didn't refuse.
They didn't have an oven, so they had to steam it in a pot. Chu Xue told the two of them, "Steam it over high heat for 25 minutes or half an hour, then turn off the heat and let it sit for 5 minutes before opening the lid."
Mo Ruhua asked, puzzled, "Why?"
Chu Xue said calmly, "It can prevent shrinkage."
