Chapter 699: Chapter 0699: Premeditated Plan 4_1

Feng Qingxue and Jiang Xiaoyue were chatting when Wang Fengqiao came back. Before she even stepped inside, her voice could be heard, "My bad luck today. I went late and couldn’t find any pig trotters, but I managed to get half a pig’s head. Xiaoxue, I’ll cook pig’s head for you at lunch. Eat more to ensure you have enough milk for Fubao." As her voice trailed off, she entered the house and was taken aback when she saw Jiang Xiaoyue.

"A guest at home? Excellent, I’ll get the pig’s head prepared." said Wang Fengqiao.

Pig’s head is quite a delicacy.

Feng Qingxue laughed and said: "Auntie, this is my good friend Jiang Xiaoyue. She brought me two pig trotters and a bag of mutton bones and offal. It’s snowing heavily outside, why don’t we skip the pig’s head for now and make mutton soup instead? Later, we can ask Daddy to go and buy some sesame cakes and see if there is anything worth buying at the cooked food store."

As hosts, they should be hospitable.

Money was not a concern for their family, there was no need to be frugal on these matters.

Upon hearing this, Wang Fengqiao responded, "Oh, such a considerate girl, thank you, I’ll get started right away."

Jiang Xiaoyue helped carry the basket from the entrance to the kitchen. Aside from the pig trotters and mutton bones, there were also twenty or so eggs, two packs of brown sugar, a bag of egg cakes, a can of malt essence, and some Feihe baby milk powder. "Auntie, these are supplies from our house and also from my comrades. They wanted me to bring them to Sister Xiaoxue to help her regain her strength. The egg cakes are for Xibao, don’t forget!"

Wang Fengqiao was grateful, "Xiaoxue has been well taken care of in the capital thanks to you all!" No wonder Feng Qingxue was able to bring so many things back for Wang Zhengguo. What great comrades she has! They are all so generous.

"Don’t mention it, Sister Xiaoxue has taken good care of us as well!"

Jiang Xiaoyue rolled up her sleeves, ready to help with the cooking, but then she heard Bai Xue’s voice from outside. She went to open the door and found Bai Xue standing there, dressed just like herself, with a bamboo basket in her arms.

"Bai Xue? What brings you here?"

Bai Xue looked surprised to see Jiang Xiaoyue but then remembered that she was close friends with Feng Qingxue, so she said: "Isn’t Comrade Feng Qingxue in her confinement period? Last month I didn’t have a food stamp, and our household expenses were high, so I didn’t help much. This month, I saved up a bit and brought over some items to help her regain her health. You’re here for the same reason, right?"

Jiang Xiaoyue let her in and introduced her to Wang Fengqiao, who just came out of the kitchen, before saying, "Yes, Sister Xiaoxue is going through her confinement period here since her family wasn’t around before. We naturally help as much as we can."

Even Mr. Lu, guessing what was happening, was full of gratitude.

Bai Xue glanced at Mr. Lu, waved off his gratitude, and said, "I believe I’ve seen this comrade at the courtyard. He was with Old Handsome Wang visiting the elder leader’s house. There was also a person carrying Xibao."

"This is Xibao’s grandfather, Comrade Lu." After Jiang Xiaoyue finished the introduction, she nodded at Mr. Lu and Wang Fengqiao, then led Bai Xue into the room.

Wang Fengqiao immediately said to Mr. Lu, "Brother Lu, I am going to make some lamb bone soup. Could you take Xibao out and buy some sesame cakes? Also check if the cooked food store has any food that doesn’t require food stamps."

All of them were visiting Feng Qingxue, so they should be well treated.

"Alright!"

Mr. Lu patted the money in his pocket and left with Xibao, who held a small umbrella that Wang Fengqiao had previously used. His chubby little hands tightly gripped the opened oilcloth umbrella and he cheerfully shouted, "Umbrella! Umbrella!"

...Chapter 10, there’s an appointment tomorrow. I’ll probably update more the day after tomorrow.
