Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

Chapter 1232: Chapter 1226: Water Spinach_1 Chapter 1232: Chapter 1226: Water Spinach_1 “Xiu, we’re back.” Qin Xue knocked on the door, calling for Fang Xiu inside.

Because Fang Xiu was at home with Jingtao, they didn’t lock the door when they left, but instead had Fang Xiu bolt it. Now that they were back, they naturally knocked.

“What on earth did you buy, aren’t you tired of carrying all that?” Qin Xue had people make a small trolley, and she used it to push her groceries whenever she went shopping. So, seeing Qin Xue now carrying so many groceries, she was somewhat surprised.

“Xiaoqiao said she wanted to eat meat, so I bought some. We have guests tomorrow, we couldn’t not buy groceries.” Qin Xue explained.

“You could have gone in the morning with your trolley. This is such a hassle.” Fang Xiu reached out to take the groceries.

“No need, I’ll take them in. Do we have any water? Pour Xiaoqiao a cup.” Qin Xue didn’t let Fang Xiu carry them, asking her to pour water instead.

“Alright.” Fang Xiu agreed.

Meanwhile, Chu Xiaoqiao was bewilderedly watching them. She hadn’t heard Fang Xiu make a sound, and she was wondering how her sister-in-law knew what Fang Xiu was saying, to the point of even answering her.

Watching Qin Xue walk into the kitchen, and Fang Xiu going to get water, she shook her head and went to take her child into the house.

“Thank you, Fang Xiu.” Chu Xiaoqiao smiled and thanked her, seeing the cup of water that had appeared in front of her.

Fang Xiu smiled and shook her head, meaning there was no need to be polite. Other people didn’t understand sign language, so it’s no use if she talked — that’s why facing Chu Xiaoqiao, Fang Xiu didn’t say a word.

“Today’s busy enough, I’ll rest first, and Xiaoqiao can help me cook later, it’ll be faster. Otherwise, the day will turn dark by the time we finish, and we won’t have time to visit An Hao’s house.” Qin Xue pinched her sore arm, leaving her message to her sister-in-law.

“Alright.” Chu Xiaoqiao was now a capable cook herself and could certainly help.

“We’ll make something simple for now, and cook more when your brother comes home tonight, how does that sound?” Qin Xue thought about making noodles now, and in the afternoon she would make the braised pork that Chu Xiaoqiao wanted, and Xue Ling’s sweet and sour pork ribs.

“I have no objection.” Fang Xiu agreed first, followed by Xue Ling and Chu Xiaoqiao. Even the three little ones nodded their heads, the smiling making them look so adorable that anyone looking would want to take a bite — they were just too cute.

“Alright, that’s settled then. Xiu, you and Xue Ling watch the kids, Xiaoqiao and I will cook.” Qin Xue instructed Fang Xiu, and then went to busy herself in the kitchen.

“Sister-in-law, what is that vegetable? It doesn’t look like pickled cabbage, but it kind of does.” Chu Xiaoqiao saw some vegetables soaking in a basin.

“That’s gruel water vegetables, they taste a bit sour and are very refreshing. They’re perfect with rice.” Qin Xue looked at the gruel water vegetables in the basin, she was going to use it soon.

“Oh.” Chu Xiaoqiao hadn’t eaten it before, so she didn’t know whether it tasted good or not. She’d just have to voice her opinion after trying it later.

Both of them worked quickly. In no time at all, the delicious smelling gruel water noodles were ready.

“It smells great, I wonder how it tastes.” Chu Xiaoqiao lifted the noodles to her nose and took a deep breath.

“Eat.” At the first smell of something good, Jingtao ran to the table.

“Taotao, slow down. Auntie will get your bowl for you.” Qin Xue saw Jingtao’s haste and worried that he might accidentally spill the hot noodles on himself.

“Okay.” After hearing Qin Xue’s words, Jingtao obediently stood still.

“Such a good boy.” Qin Xue praised him with a smile.

“Feed brother.” Jingtao pointed towards his brother Yu Ze.

“Okay, you eat yours first, auntie will feed your brother.” Qin Xue passed Jingtao his little bowl and set aside two small portions to cool.
