Back to the 60s: The Struggle Career of a Charmed Wife
Chapter 453 - 0453: Trainee Life 1_1

The moment she finished speaking, everyone chatting froze.

"Cuilan, do you know each other?"

Wang Cuilan replied to Cheng’s mother with a smile, "Yeah, Mom, I mentioned a very beautiful girl I met on the train when I was on a business trip to the southwest two years ago. That’s Qingxue."

Cheng’s mother pondered for a moment and finally remembered, "Yes, you did mention that her boyfriend is a soldier."

"It’s me." Feng Qingxue blurted out embarrassingly, "When Ajiang got hurt that year, I rushed over, then quickly went back home with Ajiang to take care of his injuries, got married, attended to his injuries, studied medicine, one thing after another. When he left, I had a child, then was busy with pregnancy and childrearing, I came to the city a few times and thought of visiting Cuilan... But I couldn’t call her ’Sister Cuilan’ anymore, I had to call her ’Aunt Cuilan’, I didn’t want people to say we were opportunistic, so I kept hesitating to come."

Wang Cuilan chuckled, "What opportunistic? Look at what you’re saying! But Xibao is really adorable, you can leave him here with ease, his grandparents can take care of him during the day, and we can look after him at night, we guarantee he won’t lack anything."

Although Wang Cuilan had no children of her own, she loved children.

With Xibao looking adorable, she couldn’t resist taking him from her mother-in-law’s arms into her own, "Time flies so fast, unknowingly, I’ve become a grandmother. Xibao, call me grandma, call grandma, grandma will make you egg custard!"

Upon hearing the words ’egg custard’, Xibao’s eyes sparkled brightly.

Since they left home early in the morning, he hadn’t had any egg custard today.

Seeing this, Cheng’s mother hurriedly said, "Good boy, play with your third grandma, Mommy will make it for you!"

"Mrs. Cheng, let me help you." Feng Qingxue quickly picked up the bamboo basket she brought and followed her to the kitchen.

This municipal compound, oh, it is a large compound. It used to be a capitalist’s mansion, a compound within a compound, with both large and small courtyards.

The house given to Cheng Baoguo and Wang Cuilan was mainly based on the area of the main house. But outside was a small courtyard, an unassuming small courtyard, with a kitchen and restroom set up inside.

There was a clay stove in the kitchen, which seemed seldom used.

Next to it stood a coal stove, and hundreds of honeycomb coal bricks were piled in the corner. A copper kettle was sitting on the coal stove.

Feng Qingxue took an egg out of the basket and handed it over, "Mrs. Cheng, Xibao is over nine months old now, and should only have one bowl of egg custard a day. Each time we only use one egg to make it, we dare not feed him too much."

"Eating well is a blessing, why won’t you feed him?" Cheng’s mother brought out a bowl, tapped the egg open, and whisked it up inside.

"He has enough nutrition." Feng Qingxue smiled.

Cheng’s mother was steaming egg custard while she pointed out and explained, "In the old days, our house would be quite decent quarters for servants, like stewards. The large courtyard in front is the main house. Secretary Niu’s entire family lives there, three generations. Even though the courtyard is larger than ours and has more rooms, they’re still cramped."

Wang Cuilan handed Xibao to her husband and came over to cook, taking over the conversation, "Xiaoxue, one of these days, I’ll take you around the compound, so you’ll know your way around."
