Chapter 1368 Big Sister, Why Did You Hit Me?
Mr. Xiao was startled by Chu Xue's words: "Yan Cheng is injured? How serious is it?"
Chu Xue spoke frankly: "I was hit by something during the disaster relief efforts, and my entire back was injured. I was just discharged from the hospital and went home to recuperate, so I didn't have time to go back to the city."
Mr. Xiao gave a few words of advice before hanging up the phone.
When I got home from get off work, Chunxiao was the first to greet me: "Dad, did you call my second sister?"
Mr. Xiao propped up the bicycle: "Have your older sister and the others returned yet?"
Chunxiao shook her head: "No, what do you want with them?"
Xiao's father did not reply to her and went straight into the house.
Seeing that he had returned home earlier than usual today, Xiao's mother asked, "You're back?"
Mr. Xiao nodded slightly and picked up his eldest grandson: "Are there any receipts left at home?"
Mrs. Xiao looked puzzled: "What ticket?"
Mr. Xiao explained about Fu Yan's injury: "I was just thinking of seeing who from the family could go over tomorrow. He was seriously injured, so he needs to be properly cared for. Chu Xue is pregnant, and we can't help him at all, but we should at least show our support."
Upon hearing this, Xiao's mother frowned. She did have some receipts in her hand, but they were meant for her son: "They shouldn't lack nutritional supplements. Why don't we go queue up early tomorrow to buy a watermelon and take it with us?"
Just as Mr. Xiao was about to get angry, he heard voices outside the yard. Looking through the window, he saw his eldest daughter and her husband entering the yard together. He stopped arguing with Mrs. Xiao and said, "Bring out all the receipts and vouchers in the house. Let me see which ones we can use."
Even if Xiao's mother had any other plans, seeing her husband's calm face, she had no choice but to open the cabinet and take out a box: "It's all here."
Mr. Xiao took out a few food coupons and a few industrial coupons: "I'll go buy some nutritional supplements while the supply and marketing cooperative is still open. We'll talk about the rest when I get back."
Seeing him come out of the house, Xia Qiu asked in surprise, "Dad, why are you back so early today?"
Mr. Xiao briefly explained the situation: "I'm going to the supply and marketing cooperative. We'll talk about it in detail when I get back."
Xia Qiu's face was full of worry. Her brother-in-law was capable and good to his sister, but his job was indeed too risky. Since the two of them started dating, he had been injured twice, not counting the serious injury he suffered when he first met Chu Xue.
Xiao's father went to the supply and marketing cooperative just as they were closing time, bought two cans of food, a can of malted milk powder, and two pounds of pastries, and then paid and left.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, Chunxiao greeted him: "Dad, why did you buy so many nice things?"
She reached out to take the bag of pastries from Xiao's father: "What did you buy? This big bag must weigh at least two pounds!"
As he spoke, he was about to open it.
Xia Qiu slapped her hand away in annoyance: "What are you doing?"
Chunxiao glared at Xiaqiu in pain: "Big sister, why did you hit me?"
Xia Qiu frowned and said, "You tell me why I hit you? This is what Dad bought to take to the army base tomorrow to see your second brother-in-law."
Chunxiao grumbled unhappily, "This must weigh at least two pounds. I can't tell if I eat a piece."
Mr. Xiao's face turned cold: "How old are you? Can't you be a little more sensible? If you're hungry, your mother has plenty of food. Why do you have to use these things?"
Chunxiao never expected that all she wanted was a piece of pastry, and her father and older sister would treat her so rudely: "I just wanted a piece of pastry, why are you treating me like this?"
Xia Qiu sighed heavily: "Whether it's two catties or one catty, there's a fixed quantity of these pastries. How would you feel if you received a pastry that was one piece short?"
