Chapter 448: Chapter 0448: Losing Weight for Eating 4_1

Next, Yuejin’s mother was left in shock.

Even though the bowls weren’t washed cleanly, and one was even broken, even though the floor wasn’t swept perfectly, leaving dust flying all over the house that made the family members cough endlessly, even though she nearly stepped on the rooster whilst feeding the chickens and got pecked at, Wang Jiao was actually working, truly working!

This was the first time it had ever happened!

After a tiring day of work, Wang Jiao immediately went to Feng Qingxue and reported her hard work.

She didn’t bring Goudan with her; even if she had wanted to, Yuejin’s mother wouldn’t dare hand the child over to her.

Feng Qingxue gave her a piece of milk candy, "Cousin, you’re amazing! You really did it! Keep up the good work. You can come and see me every day after you finish your tasks and I’ll reward you with a piece of milk candy each day. In a month, when the weather gets warm, we can go shopping together with Xibao and I’ll treat you to something delicious. Our standard of living is now better than it was a couple of years back, so there is much more delicious food available now than before."

It had been a while since Wang Jiao ate candy. Eagerly sucking on the milk candy, she left cheerfully.

She only dared to go out at night, afraid that others might see her and comment on how she had become unattractive.

She worked during the day and went to see Feng Qingxue for milk candy after dinner.

Feng Qingxue discussed the downsides of post-partum obesity with Miao Fengqin, "My cousin usually avoids doing any work and is now finding it a little difficult to walk. She often gets breathless; Aunty, haven’t you noticed?. Being overweight isn’t healthy; maintaining an average weight is. So, I’m going to have to ask Aunty for help. Could you please ask Auntie Zhang to prepare simple and bland meals for my cousin and let Goudan drink milk powder. I’ll think of a solution."

It was the first time Miao Fengqin had heard that obesity was a health issue; she was quite startled. Knowing that Feng Qingxue treated Wang Jiao well, she quickly complied with her request.

The Zhang Yuejin family also didn’t have any kind of side dish to offer to Wang Jiao anymore. After the New Year, the supply of various side dishes in the city had been drastically reduced, or even cancelled, like chicken and fish, which Yuejin’s mother naturally longed for.

Feng Qingxue managed to make a trip to the city. Using the blank introductory letter Wang Zhengguo had once given her, she filled out the content and then went to the post office to mail some staple food to her grandparents from her previous life. It wasn’t much, just thirty pounds of cornmeal, without leaving any of her information.

After reading the book about Wang Xinsheng and the others, she was absolutely sure that she had indeed travelled through time to society’s reality or the same space.

If there was Wang Xinsheng, there had to be Lu Jiang, which meant there should also be her maternal and paternal grandparents.

The reason she had put off taking action until now was that she only knew the addresses of her grandparents’ and her grandparents-in-law’s homes after they got married. Her elders had taken her to revisit these old places. Her grandparents got married in 62, which was last year, and her grandparents-in-law still didn’t know each other yet!

As for where they lived before the wedding, to be honest, she had no clue.

Judging by the time, her parents hadn’t even been born yet!

In the letter to her grandmother, Feng Qingxue reminded her to hide all the valuable things at home. She vaguely mentioned that it seemed like people with questionable backgrounds were being targeted. Antique calligraphy and paintings were all things that these people couldn’t bear to see.

Unlike the Lu family, her grandmother’s family didn’t face misfortune until ’66.

Having done all this, Feng Qingxue returned home, collected the two bags of milk powder that Guo Xiuying had sent on Wang Xinru’s behalf, and delivered them to the Zhang family.

Without needing to feed the child, Wang Jiao had to endure poor meals even though they were hard to swallow. However, she understood that there really were no eggs left at home. Therefore, she looked forward to Feng Qingxue’s milk candy and her offer of a treat daily.

After a month of living on plain food, Wang Jiao had considerably slimmed down and improved at her tasks.

Feng Qingxue kept her promise and invited her to town for a meal, but without bringing along Xibao.

Just as they had entered the restaurant, Feng Qingxue grimaced. She had spotted Zhao Mingfang dining with a young man.
