Chapter 1373: Oh, My Fourth Sister-in-law, How Dare You Say Such Things

After Fu Yanwan finished speaking, she turned and ran back to the kitchen, bringing out two lunch boxes. She packed one with the ribs she had just stewed and the other with the braised dishes prepared that morning, placed them in a mesh bag, and then hurried out: "These are foods I made myself; take them back to add a dish to your meal. However, the ribs are slightly undercooked; reheating them will make them softer."

Xia Qiu was about to refuse, but Liu Chuxue spoke up: "Take them. Little Wan's cooking skills are quite good; take them back to taste."

After the group thanked her once more, Liu Chuxue saw them to the main gate, where Fu Yan Cheng stopped them: "It is too hot; you need not go out."

Xiao Fu and his wife Xia Qiu also agreed: "Yes, you are pregnant, and this is the hottest time of the day; you should not go out with us."

Liu Chuxue was one who listened to advice: "Very well, then I will not go out. Take care on your journey; there is plenty of time."

After thanking Fu Yanwan once more, the group walked out.

Fu Yan Cheng looked at Liu Chuxue: "I will be back shortly. Is there anything you need me to bring?"

Liu Chuxue's eyes rolled: "Bring me a cream popsicle."

Hearing this, Xia Qiu quickly warned: "You are pregnant now; it is better to eat less of those cold things."

Fu Yan Cheng replied: "The Physician told me earlier; it is just to satisfy a craving, and she will not eat the whole thing."

Hearing him say this, Xia Qiu finally felt relieved.

After watching the group leave, Liu Chuxue and Fu Yanwan returned to the courtyard: "Fourth Sister-in-law, the ribs will be softer if stewed a while longer; when my brother returns, we will start the meal."

Liu Chuxue lowered her voice: "With our Little Wan here, the days your Fourth Brother and I live are truly pleasant."

Indeed, since Little Wan arrived, she did not let the two of them touch a thing regarding household matters; if they wanted to eat something, they could even order it. Even if Little Wan could not cook it herself, with her guidance, the taste would be nearly the same: "Little Wan, if policies change in the future, let us partner to open a restaurant; we are certain to make a fortune."

Hearing this, Fu Yanwan was startled and quickly glanced toward the outer courtyard: "Oh, my Fourth Sister-in-law, how dare you say such things."

Seeing her nervous look, Liu Chuxue leaned close to her ear: "Anyway, you would not report me; I am just daydreaming."

The two sisters-in-law whispered for quite a while. When Fu Yan Cheng entered the courtyard, he saw them laughing so hard they were bending forward and backward: "What happy thing are you discussing? Let me hear it too."

Neither of them expected him to return so quickly: "The bus has not reached its time yet; how did you return so fast?"

Fu Yan Cheng handed the cream popsicles in his hands to the two of them: "When we went out, we happened to meet Regiment Commander Zhang going to the city on business; they left by car."

Liu Chuxue tore open the popsicle wrapper and took a small bite: "Did you take the clothes?"

Fu Yan Cheng took the wrapper from her hand: "Yes. One might say their luck is good; as soon as we arrived at the gate, we met the logistics personnel. After we spoke earlier, they had already selected them and set them aside. Regiment Commander Zhang drove over to pick them up, which saved quite a bit of trouble."

Thinking of repaying the favor, Liu Chuxue said: "Little Wan, I still have quite a few red dates stored. Let us make some date cakes this afternoon to eat. Later, have your Fourth Brother deliver some to the few families he gets along with well for them to taste."

Fu Yanwan, who already loved making delicious food, felt a craving herself upon hearing "date cakes": "Very well."

Watching how the two interacted, Fu Yan Cheng could not help but curl his lips into a smile. It had to be his own wife; even the relationship between the eldest sister-in-law, who entered the family earliest, and his own younger sister was not as good as that with his wife. Naturally, he was pleased to see this.
