Chapter 995: Indirectly Supporting Sister
After Fu Yan Cheng left, Xiao Fu called the old man and the eldest brother again, casually mentioning that Liu Chuxue would return to Changping tomorrow.
Thinking of his younger sister's situation, and not knowing the phone number at her husband's side, he decided to call her husband's workplace the next day to inform them.
After packing up, Liu Chuxue went to her cousin's room again: "Dujuan, how is it? Are you still uncomfortable?"
She had specially added space spring water to the brown sugar ginger water she gave Dujuan; it should have some effect.
Dujuan replied, "Much better."
She handed her a small cloth bag: "There are some red dates in here. Eat a few every day; it's good for your health."
Dujuan was moved again: "Cousin, thank you."
Liu Chuxue smiled and patted her hair: "I am your sister, naturally I want to take better care of you. There is no need for such formality between sisters."
Dujuan nodded heavily: "I remember, sister."
Since then, Dujuan changed her address directly, never calling her the second cousin again, but simply calling her sister.
Seeing it was late, Liu Chuxue gave a few instructions and returned to her own room.
After closing the doors and windows and latching the door, she turned off the light and went straight into the space.
She was returning to Changping tomorrow; the things at home couldn't be moved, so she planned to prepare the items to bring tonight, make a show of going out tomorrow morning, and say she got them from the black market.
The current space had three mu planted with various grain crops, three mu with various fruits, about half a mu with various vegetables, and the rest was all medicinal herbs; even the edges of the fields were not spared, planted with various precious flowers she could find.
Those ten mu were fully planted by her.
She thought that if she obtained other plants, she would move those fruit trees in the fields up the mountain, except the mountain behind the house wasn't very big anyway, and it currently raised chickens, ducks, rabbits, and sheep.
Thinking of this made her feel depressed; she had been to Inner Mongolia, yet hadn't even gotten a single cow or horse; it seemed she must go there again when there was a chance.
She didn't aim for a large scale; as long as it was enough for her daily consumption, it would do. After all, the space warehouse preserved freshness; if it really succeeded, slaughtering one every so often would be enough for her to eat for a long time.
Thinking of these matters, she entered the warehouse. Thinking of needing to replenish blood after giving birth, red dates were naturally indispensable. The ones her brother-in-law had found earlier, she had given some to her own mother and her sister-in-law, leaving only a little for herself.
At that time, she did not oppose it because she felt it was the sister's heartfelt gesture toward the elders; naturally, she could not refuse it directly, nor could she overstep her bounds.
Of course, she didn't pack much; seeing it was about two jin, she stopped. She didn't want to be a fool; after all, Qiu Mu still had to make the confinement meals for her, and if she brought too many good things, who knew if they would all end up in her own sister's mouth.
On the contrary, because the quantity of each item was small, it would end up in her stomach. After all, the quantity was limited; they wouldn't dare to compete with a nursing confinement woman for food that promoted milk production and replenished the body.
It wasn't that she judged a gentleman's heart with a petty person's mind, nor was she stingy; she truly couldn't bring herself to open her mouth, otherwise, instead of helping her sister and brother-in-law, she might cause them endless trouble.
She packed another small bag of raisins; this could allow her sister to eat a few every day, helping to promote intestinal peristalsis. After all, during confinement, one did nothing but eat and sleep, and it could also supplement trace elements. Although her sister might not understand these explanations, it was enough for Liu Chuxue to know.
The rice harvested in the space earlier had not yet been husked; she had neither a stone mortar for pounding rice nor a stone roller for milling rice, so she could only let her brother-in-law figure it out himself.
