Chapter 1452: A Child Fell Into the River

Liu Chuxue's expression was perfectly managed, yet inside she felt quite relieved, at least no longer having to listen to Ge Pozi's daily indirect insults.

Some time ago, Fu Yan Cheng had already moved the sewing machine from the city back home, and these days it was finally coming in handy.

Liu Chuxue used the sewing machine to directly stitch the previously cut quilt lining and cover into a quilt cover style: "Tao Saozi, does this work?"

Tao Saozi took a look: "This does save trouble."

Liu Chuxue smiled: "Mainly because my needlework isn't very good; this way, if it gets dirty, I only need to take apart one side."

Tao Saozi turned it over and over for a long while: "You young people are still clever."

Remembering something: "Did you buy the cotton?"

Liu Chuxue nodded: "Yes, I'll go get it."

Tao Saozi looked at the cotton she brought out: "This cotton is really good, where did you buy it?"

Liu Chuxue smiled: "I bought it in the city a few days ago, but I didn't have many cotton coupons, only bought four jin back, so we'll use this for now; my mother and mother-in-law said they'd help me find someone to exchange for more cotton coupons."

Hearing this, Tao Saozi understood well: "Luckily you have your mother and mother-in-law helping out; otherwise, with triplets in your belly, even if your husband Fu the Deputy Regiment Commander's wages are high, having money without coupons leaves you helpless."

Liu Chuxue's hands didn't stop moving: "Exactly, from now on, all the household coupons will have to be reserved for these few in the belly."

She was deliberately echoing Tao Saozi's words; the statement wasn't false either, for without her spatial cheat, this would indeed be the situation once the children were born.

This cotton had been stored in her space earlier, and the quantity was indeed not much.

The cotton she grew in her space had already matured; a few days ago she had made arrangements with someone, as there was a cotton carding craftsman in Bai Lian Village within Baifu Village, and she planned to go there tomorrow.

With Tao Saozi's help, a quilt was quickly finished: "How is it, did you learn?"

Liu Chuxue's face was full of smiles: "The steps are no problem, I'm just afraid I won't be as neat as you, Sister Tao, when the time comes."

Tao Saozi smiled at her: "Just practice more; this isn't difficult."

As the two were talking, they heard someone shouting outside: "Not good, not good, a child has fallen into the river, hurry to save them!"

Immediately, chaos erupted outside.

That person kept shouting while running toward Deputy Regiment Commander Qi's house at the back: "Sister Qi, hurry, hurry, not good, your Zixuan has fallen into the river outside!"

Liu Chuxue and Tao Saozi heard the commotion and reached the main gate, seeing Deputy Regiment Commander Qi's wife running out as if she had gone mad.

Tao Saozi grabbed a Sister who had just run up behind them: "Wang Danggui, what happened?"

Liu Chuxue immediately recognized her; this Sister named Wang Danggui was the wife of Lieutenant Xu from the Third Regiment.

She heard her say: "Just now someone came to call Sister Qi, saying her Zixuan fell into the Dahe River outside; from what that person said, it wasn't just Zixuan, but several children fell in together."

Tao Saozi couldn't care about anything else now: "Liu Chuxue, stay home; I'll go check the situation."

Liu Chuxue understood Tao Saozi's meaning: "Alright, Sister, go ahead."

Tao Saozi then ran outside together with Lieutenant Xu's wife.

Although she was currently pregnant and it wasn't suitable to join the crowd, thinking that in her past life she had learned first aid, she ultimately couldn't stand by and do nothing; if no one knew these things at this moment, she could at least offer a reminder.

In the end, conscience triumphed over that bit of selfishness in her heart; she locked the door and headed straight for the Dahe River outside.

By the time she arrived, except for one child who still hadn't been pulled up, the others had all been rescued.
