1970s: A hot-tempered wife who accompanied a soldier to the military compound and made a fortune.

Chapter 449 I can't guarantee I can get it

Watching the car drive away, Qiu's mother patted Xia Qiu's shoulder: "You've gone far enough, come back to the courtyard. I've cooked some mung bean porridge, come in and have some."

She just heard from her son that they had eaten at her mother-in-law's house and came back.

Xia Qiu had eaten pancakes at her parents' house and was quite thirsty. She nodded and sat down at the table.

Perhaps she hadn't gotten the better of them, because after Xia Qiu sat down, Aunt Qiu said with a hint of sarcasm, "Coming back so late, didn't your family feed you?"

When Grandma Qiu heard her say that, she slammed her hand on the table in the main room: "You really are meddling in other people's business. You should be worrying about Shaohe's affairs instead."

After saying that, he looked at Xia Qiu sitting at the table in the second room not far away: "Qiu, don't listen to your aunt's nonsense. I just heard Shao Feng say that you ate pancakes at your parents' house. Your mother-in-law just cooked mung bean porridge. Have a bowl to cool off."

Xia Qiu smiled and nodded: "I understand, Great-Grandma."

She's not stupid. Whatever they say goes in one ear and out the other. It won't hurt her, so she won't get angry about it.

The newlywed wife, An Xiaojing, glanced at the eldest son's family: They didn't get any advantage, and now they're making sarcastic remarks. They really can't keep quiet. I'd better stay away from the eldest son's family in the future; none of them are easy to deal with.

Meanwhile, Zhang Shanmei, who was in confinement after giving birth, was also extremely anxious. She saw Qiu Shaofeng carrying a basket into the room and wished she could open the door and chase after him to see what was inside. However, if she dared to go out now, she was afraid that her great-grandmother would really be angry, and she dared not take the risk.

He could only call out from inside the door, "Shaohu, come in for a moment."

When Qiu Shaohu heard his wife calling him, he asked impatiently, "What is it?"

"Come in here for a moment, I have something to tell you."

Qiu Shaohu finished the porridge in his bowl in one gulp: "What a hassle." He put down the bowl, wiped his mouth with his hand, and got up to walk into their room.

Upon entering, seeing Zhang Shanmei standing on the floor, he frowned and asked, "Why did you call me in?"

Zhang Shanmei pulled Qiu Shaohu towards the window: "I saw Shaofeng bring a basket into the house. Ask Shaofeng later if he brought back any melons this time. If he did, ask him to get some to try. Also, ask them if they have any malted milk powder in the house."

"If you want some, go ask for it yourself. I don't have that ability."

"I can't get out, can I?"

Seeing that Qiu Shaohu remained unmoved, she pointed to her daughter lying on the kang (a heated brick bed): "Do you remember what the doctor said when we were discharged from the hospital? Apart from the first time we came back, your mother killed a chicken for us, which was the eggs that my family sent over. It's almost the end of my postpartum period, and I haven't tasted a single piece of meat since. You have to think about our daughter, if I can't eat anything nutritious. Where will she get her milk?"

Qiu Shaohu looked at his daughter, who was about the size of a cat, on the kang (a heated brick bed): "I can't guarantee that I can get her."

Zhang Shanmei was delighted: "It's good that you can go. If she doesn't give it to me, I'll think of another way."

Xia Qiu had no idea that her sister-in-law next door was eyeing the things her family had given her. She had just finished unpacking when she heard Fu Yanwan's voice: "Brother-in-law Shaofeng, has Sister Xia Qiu come back yet?"

Upon hearing Yan Wan's voice, Xia Qiu poked her head out and said, "Yan Wan, come in quickly."

After stopping the person inside, he asked, "Why did you come here?"

Yanwan handed over what she was holding: "These are raisins that my family brought me. They were sent from XJ by my dad's friend. I shared some with you."

Xia Qiu quickly declined, saying, "I can't accept something so valuable."
