Chapter 446: Chapter 0446: Losing Weight for Eating 2_1

According to Wang Zhengguo, outsiders had no choice in the matter.

Feng Qingxue couldn’t bear to watch any longer. The sight made her both admire and feel bitter; she admired their fiery perseverance and pitied the amount of labor they were overworking.

She was reminded of the stories told by the elders about the numerous water systems used in rural areas during the 21st century that were built by this generation of people.

One generation toils, several generations reap the benefits.

It really confirmed what Wang Zhengguo said when organizing everyone to work - merit remains for a thousand autumns.

After bandaging the wounds of the injured and fixing the bones of those who had fallen, Feng Qingxue took the excuse of caring for the child to go home.

The river was connected to their brigade’s reservoir, so the labor was not far from their brigade. The brigade workers could leave early and return late, whereas members of other brigades that were further away had to stay in the homes of nearby villagers.

Because of this task, Wanglou Brigade didn’t have any festive spirits for the New Year.

After New Year, Wang Jiao came out of confinement

Upon seeing Wang Jiao after her bath and hair wash, Feng Qingxue couldn’t stand how miserable she looked. She was there to deliver milk powder for Goudan, which was Feihe brand brought by Cheng Baoguo. Xibao only ate imported milk powder from space, so she gave it to Goudan.

She forgot to do this the day she sent Lu Jiang back, just before bedtime.

Goudan’s grandma was immensely grateful. "Dear sister, we can’t thank you enough for what you’ve been doing during this time!"

Although Wang Zhengguo didn’t disclose the origin of the dried chicken and pig trotters he brought, the elderly lady was no fool. Who else would go to such lengths and be willing to give so much besides Feng Qingxue?

People always complained about this and that about Wang Jiao, but she got lucky with good parents and a good cousin.

"Dear sister, it’s cold outside, sit and rest a while. I’ll prepare Goudan’s milk powder." Wang Jiao’s breast milk was inconsistently available, so Zhang Yuejin managed to get a bit of milk powder and cow milk. The old woman no longer expected her daughter-in-law to breastfeed, thinking of weaning Goudan with rice porridge and soft noodles when he grows older, surely this was better than struggling to get breast milk half the day, right?

"No need to fuss over me, auntie," Feng Qingxue said.

When the old woman left, Feng Qingxue stared at Wang Jiao, then covered her eyes.

"Cousin, look at this!" Feng Qingxue moved her fingers from her eyes, immediately pulling out a small, palm-sized round mirror from her pocket. It was just a mirror lens and had no frame, taken from a small round mirror from her space, convenient to carry around and not revealing any trace of the space. She held this little round mirror in front of Wang Jiao’s round face. "Can this mirror even fit your face?"

"Ah!" Wang Jiao shrieked, "Who’s that ugly woman in the mirror?"

Feng Qingxue looked at her innocently.

Actually, even if Wang Jiao weighed as much as a hundred fifty kilograms now, with her built-in beauty, she still didn’t look ugly. But compared to the slim and beautiful girl she was before, she was now ten times uglier.

"Like a bear with a large back and waist! Stout and muscular! With a large belly! Cousin, all these words describe you. Look at your stomach, has it changed much since you gave birth to Goudan?" Feng Qingxue paused, then stood up and twirled in front of her, flaunting her figure. "Cousin, you used to always brag about how good your husband was to you, but if you keep this up, I don’t know about that!"

She said it on purpose; in reality, Zhang Yuejin was a good man.

Wang Jiao was lazy and liked to eat, and now she’d lost her looks as well. Yet her treatment from Zhang Yuejin hadn’t changed a bit. He constantly worried about how to feed his wife well so she’d have enough milk for the child, his eyes showed no contempt. He was simply a model of good husbands, worthy of praise.
