Chapter 1375: I'll Figure Something Out By Then

Cui Pozi knew Fu Yan Cheng's position was higher than her own son's, so these words had an effect, and she stopped causing trouble.

Seeing him return, Chuxue immediately gave him a thumbs-up: "Good thing you're here; otherwise, I probably wouldn't have been able to take a noon nap today."

Fu Yanwan moved quickly and had already washed the bowls and chopsticks by then: "Fourth Sister-in-law, since the opposite side isn't causing trouble right now, you should hurry back to your room and rest for a while."

Chuxue thought about what she needed to do in the afternoon: "Xiao Wan, there are red dates in that black clay pot in the kitchen. Find them first, see if there are enough; if not, we'll go to the supply point this afternoon."

Fu Yanwan smiled and agreed: "Okay."

Fu Yan Cheng pulled her back into the room, and then he heard Chuxue say: "Do you think I can ask Uncle Zhang to grant Xiao Wan a long leave while I'm in confinement?"

Fu Yan Cheng chuckled lightly: "I'll figure something out by then."

Actually, he had thought of this too; after all, his wife and his younger sister got along well, could chat together, and could eat together, reducing conflicts and making things easier for him.

As they talked, Chuxue fell asleep. Fu Yan Cheng settled her down, and looking at her sleeping face, his heart felt soft: "This morning, my wife told him her guess; after a moment of stunned silence, he was overjoyed and immediately wanted to take her for a checkup, but she said she had eaten breakfast, and if blood needed to be drawn, it was better to be on an empty stomach."

Actually, Chuxue had guessed that someone from her natal family might come today, but she couldn't be sure, so she made up an excuse.

When Chuxue woke up in the afternoon, Fu Yanwan was already in the kitchen preparing: "Fourth Sister-in-law, you're awake."

She was about to say something when she heard Mo Ruhua's voice from outside: "Sister-in-law."

Mo Ruhua had gone to the city for pre-job training these past few days; as soon as she returned and put down her things, she came over: "Has your training ended?"

Mo Ruhua nodded: "It has. I can stay home for a while now, and I'll start work again when school opens."

Chuxue smiled: "Actually, being a teacher is quite good; you even get winter and summer vacations."

Mo Ruhua didn't know what she was thinking, but her face turned red.

Seeing her like this, Chuxue couldn't help but tease: "I didn't say anything tiger-and-wolf words; why are you getting shy?"

Mo Ruhua coughed lightly: "Not at all; you must have seen it wrong."

Fu Yanwan, hearing the voice in the kitchen, walked out from the kitchen.

This gave Mo Ruhua a way out: "Xiao Wan, when did you arrive?"

Seeing it was Mo Ruhua, Fu Yanwan also smiled: "I was just saying that voice sounded so familiar; turns out it's Sister-in-law Ruhua."

At first, Chuxue was puzzled, but later she remembered that the Fu and Shen families already had a connection, so it was normal for her sister-in-law to know Mo Ruhua.

Three women make a play; moreover, these were three women with shared interests who both loved food.

Knowing they would be making red date cakes soon, she didn't go back to tidy up: "Alright, I'll give you a hand; I might as well learn, so I can try making it myself later."

Without fresh milk, Chuxue used milk powder instead. The three chatted and laughed, first washing the red dates, removing the pits, cutting them into small pieces, and steaming them in a pot. Then they mashed the steamed dates into paste, added the brewed milk, and mixed it into a flowing batter.

The job of beating the eggs was naturally claimed by Fu Yan Cheng.

His back had already scabbed over; as long as he was careful, it wasn't a big problem. As long as he didn't pull the wound, moderate activity would promote blood circulation and aid tissue repair, so Chuxue didn't refuse.

They didn't have an oven, so they had to steam it in a pot. Chuxue told the two: "Steam on high heat for twenty-five minutes or half an hour, turn off the heat, let it sit for five minutes, then open the lid."

Mo Ruhua asked, puzzled: "Why?"

Chuxue said calmly: "To prevent it from shrinking back."
