Chapter 1452 A child fell into the river
Chu Xue kept her expression under control, but she felt quite relieved inside, at least she wouldn't have to listen to Granny Cui's veiled insults every day anymore.
Some time ago, Fu Yancheng brought back the sewing machines from the city, and they've come in handy these past few days.
Chu Xue used a sewing machine to sew the quilt cover and lining she had cut out earlier into a duvet cover style: "Sister Tao, do you think this is okay?"
Sister Tao glanced at it and said, "This saves a lot of trouble."
Chu Xue laughed: "The main thing is that my needlework isn't very good, so if it gets dirty, I only need to unravel one side."
Tao's sister-in-law looked at it over and over for a long time: "You young people are so smart."
Thinking of something: "Have you bought your cotton yet?"
Chu Xue nodded and said, "I'll buy it and go get it."
When Sister Tao saw the cotton she had taken out, she exclaimed, "This cotton is really good! Where did you buy it?"
Chu Xue smiled and said, "I bought these in the city a few days ago, but I didn't have many cotton coupons. I only bought four catties. I'll use them for now. My mother and mother-in-law said they would help me find someone to exchange some cotton coupons."
Tao's sister-in-law understood perfectly: "It's good that you have your mother and mother-in-law to help you. Otherwise, with three children, even if your husband, Deputy Regiment Commander Fu, has a high salary, you'd be helpless without the necessary permits."
Chu Xue continued working: "That's right, from now on, all the family's receipts will have to be used sparingly for these babies in the belly."
She deliberately went along with what Sister Tao said, and what she said wasn't wrong. If she didn't have the spatial cheat, wouldn't this be the situation after the children were born?
This cotton was stored in the space before, and the quantity is indeed not large.
The cotton she planted in her space has matured. She had a fight with someone a few days ago. There are cotton carders in Bailian Village in Baifu Village. She plans to go there tomorrow.
With Sister Tao's help, a quilt was quickly finished: "Well, did you learn how?"
Chu Xue smiled broadly: "The steps are fine, but I'm afraid I won't be as synchronized as my sister-in-law."
Sister Tao smiled at her and said, "Just practice more, it's not difficult."
As the two were talking, they heard someone outside shouting, "Something terrible has happened! A child has fallen into the river! Quick, go save him!"
There was a commotion outside.
The man shouted all the way to Qi Fuying's house: "Sister-in-law Qi, hurry, hurry, something bad has happened! Your son Zixuan has fallen into the river outside."
When Chu Xue and Sister Tao heard the commotion and went to the gate, they saw Deputy Battalion Commander Qi's wife running out like a madwoman.
Tao's sister-in-law grabbed another woman who was running up behind her: "Danggui, what happened?"
Chu Xue immediately recognized that the woman named Dang Gui was the wife of Company Commander Xu from the Third Battalion.
She said, "Someone just came over and called for Sister Qi, saying that his son Zixuan fell into the river outside. I heard from that person that it wasn't just Zixuan, but several other children who fell in as well."
Tao's wife couldn't care less about anything else at this point: "Chuxue, you stay at home, I'll go check on the situation."
Chu Xue understood what Tao's sister-in-law meant: "Okay, sister-in-law, go ahead."
Tao's sister-in-law then ran outside with Xu's wife.
Although she was pregnant and it wasn't appropriate for her to join in the fun, she remembered that she had learned first aid in her previous life, and she couldn't just stand by and do nothing. In case no one knew these things, she could give them a heads-up.
In the end, conscience prevailed over selfishness, and he locked the door and headed towards the river outside.
When she arrived, all but one child had been rescued.
