Chapter 1019: It Seems the Postpartum Confinement Went Well

When Liu Chuxue arrived at the main gate of the Qiu family, she happened to meet Qiu Shaofeng, who was about to go out to handle some business: "Brother-in-law, are you going out?"

Seeing his sister-in-law, Qiu Shaofeng's face lit up with surprise; after all, since his sister-in-law started working in the city, she had helped them many times: "Chuxue, why have you come at this hour?"

Saying this, he reached out to take the basket on Chuxue's back.

But after taking it, he nearly collapsed: "What is in here? It's so heavy!"

Seeing the people who had been greeting her earlier following along, Chuxue said: "Brother-in-law, I'm a bit thirsty; let's go inside and talk."

Qiu Shaofeng glanced at the crowd gathering to watch the spectacle: "Alright, let's go inside first; your sister was just talking about you."

Struggling to lift the basket, the two of them entered the courtyard together.

As soon as the sun set over Luoshan, the weather grew even colder; at this hour, there were hardly any people in the courtyard.

Just as they entered the room, An Xiaojing from next door, who could no longer hold her urine, happened to come out; she caught sight of her eldest brother-in-law carrying something into the house, couldn't help but glance a few more times toward her eldest sister-in-law's room, and thought: I wonder what good thing she's cooked up this time?

Xia Qiu had been holding her son and doting on him; having eaten well these past days and being unable to go out, her skin had become much fairer and her figure much fuller; seeing her sister enter, she looked over with a face full of joy and said: "Xue, have you finished the matters at your workplace?"

Earlier, when the Xiao family had come to visit Xia Qiu, they had mentioned that Chuxue's workplace was busy, so she hadn't come along; now seeing her sister, Xia Qiu was extremely happy.

Seeing her sister, who had become much plumper, Chuxue said: "It seems you've done well during your postpartum confinement."

Xia Qiu's face was all smiles: "You sent so many precious things to nourish the body; if I hadn't done well during my confinement, how could I not have let you down?"

Seeing the two sisters chatting, Qiu Shaofeng said: "Chuxue, you stay and chat with your sister; I'll go up the mountain to check if the traps have caught anything."

Chuxue pointed to the items in the basket: "You'll need to handle these when you return; they are extra dishes for Junjun's full-month banquet from the family."

Hearing this, Qiu Shaofeng was no longer in a hurry to leave; he first lifted the tarp covering the basket: "Is this all of it?"

Once he saw what was inside, Qiu Shaofeng's expression turned serious: "Did you go into Shenshan?"

At the same time, Xia Qiu's face also changed: "Did you go to that water pool halfway up the mountain?"

Not wanting them to worry, Chuxue said: "I didn't go into Shenshan; it was just good luck that I encountered a lone wild boar by the water pool of the mountain village girls; however, I don't know how to process it, so I had to cut off a quarter and bring it over; you two discuss how much to use, and save the rest for a special meal, after all, whether you can eat well later affects Junjun's food supply."

Moved by her sister's words, Xia Qiu's eyes turned red: "Junjun, did you hear? Your second aunt went to great lengths for your food supply; when you grow up, you must remember her kindness and take good care of your second aunt."

As soon as she finished speaking, the little one who had been eating his fist actually made two sounds, 'Ao, Ao'; Xia Qiu, overjoyed, immediately shed tears: "You've agreed, so if you turn out to be a Bai Yanlang later, I certainly won't forgive you."

Hearing Xia Qiu say this, Qiu Shaofeng joined in: "That's right; since your mother became pregnant with you, your second aunt has sent many good things to our home; you little rascal must not be ungrateful."

Amused by the couple, Chuxue said: "He's only so small; are you sure he can understand? Aren't you just playing the lute to a cow?"

After she said this, the atmosphere became much more cheerful.

The couple discussed it briefly, and Qiu Shaofeng said: "Although we haven't prepared a grand celebration, I've calculated that with the extended family plus neighbors and relatives, we'll need to set up about five tables."

Hearing this, Chuxue said: "Brother-in-law, since there are plenty of ingredients, I suggest you prepare an extra table, just in case."
