Back to the 60s: The Struggle Career of a Charmed Wife-Chapter 1695: Preparing to Build a House 3

At noon, Feng Qingxue made one dish and one soup, steamed bass and seaweed soup, and steamed a bowl of rice.

As for meat, ribs, and fish maw, they were already received into the space.

For this, she spent the whole morning organizing the space, clearing a spot, and pulling out already empty cardboard boxes and plastic crates to put on the spot, to store resources from this era.

At this moment, she, who had lived a simple life as a small citizen in the previous lifetime, had clearly forgotten that in a time of food insecurity, with her and Lu Jiang’s rank, they ate special supplies, organic foods, and harmful foods were never a part of their lives, so there was no need to plan ahead.

The food on the coal stove hadn’t cooked yet; Feng Qingxue continued organizing.

She found that the large batch of artifacts stolen from the Shanghai cultural relics department occupied not a small amount of space, and she couldn’t help but scratch her head. It’s already 1974 now, and by 1977, she can return them to the rightful owners, saving herself from the burden.

Why not 1976? Because that year was simply tumultuous.

Even for those people wanting to be exonerated, they’d have to wait until 1979 or 1980.

Really wish three years would pass in the blink of an eye, life would get back on track, no need to be cautious anymore.

Just then, a knock on the door interrupted Feng Qingxue’s thoughts.

Hurriedly, she stowed away the items in front of her into the space and answered the door to see Gu Min holding a lunch box. The little girl’s cheeks were flushed from running, with a bit more rosiness, "Minmin, is there something you need?"

Gu Min raised the lunch box in her hand, "Aunt made dumplings, Grandma instructed me to bring them to you."

Feng Qingxue paused, took it in her hand, "Wait a moment, I’ll pour the dumplings into a bowl, you take the lunch box back."

Pouring the dumplings into her lunch box, Feng Qingxue washed it clean, dried it with a clean cotton cloth, then packed a box of sweet and sour ribs from the space, finding quite a few ready-to-eat cooked dishes while organizing.

It’s not that she intentionally gave the Gu Family food from the future, but the ribs she bought today hadn’t been cooked yet.

Ribs from decades later are more expensive than meat, leading to ribs always having a thick layer of meat, unlike the ribs now, where the master chefs eagerly debone them thoroughly, though fortunately they have restraint, still leaving a layer of meat on the ribs.

"Did the meat seller master have a kind heart? Ribs have such a thick layer of meat."

Doctor Gu listened to his niece-in-law’s words, looked at the ribs in the lunch box following her gaze, and nodded, "Xiuying said, Qingxue has good relations, is generous, many meat-sellers are willing to leave some meat on the bones she buys."

Completely forgetting that all kinds of meat and bones on the meat-selling counter were already dissected before being displayed.

"Qingxue is truly generous, the people at the subsidiary food factory all say this about her." Aunt Gu picked a few ribs for her aunt, then picked a few pieces for her two nieces respectively, telling them to eat while hot, "It’s also our oversight, we never thought of buying some seafood locally to send to friends and family. Qingxue sends you things every year, that’s really commendable."

Doctor Gu recalled the contents of the letters with his elder brother and niece, smiling, "Qingxue has a wide range of acquaintances, just teachers alone, she’s apprenticed to several, how can she not show filial respect? We can’t compare. You used to raise three sons, also helped some martyrs’ families, almost ate yourselves poor, where was the spare money for all this? No need to deliberately do it."

Aunt Gu pondered it, then nodded in agreement. Although her three sons all had jobs, they would all have their own little families; she herself did not work, relying entirely on Gu Tian, the expenses were not small, still needing to manage life frugally.
