Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

Fang Hong saw that Qin Xue didn’t have much stuff: “Qin Xue, did you just buy so little?”

“Well, it’s not too little. Since I eat by myself, I just bought some rice and coarse flour. I can buy vegetables in the small market. I also bought some yarn without needing a coupon to knit a little sweater for the baby.” Before coming back, Qin Xue had taken out some rice and flour to carry when no one was around, otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to explain where the stuff came from!

“Yes, that’s good. Since you don’t have a job, it’s good to prepare clothes for the baby. By the time you give birth, the weather will be cold.”

When you have cloth tickets, buy some cloth and slowly start preparing small clothes, otherwise, the baby will have nothing to wear.” Fang Hong thought for a while and reminded Qin Xue, worried that she would panic due to lack of experience at that time!

“Ah, the wife of Mr. Chu, congratulations, you’re pregnant! How long has it been? Mr. Chu will be so happy when he comes back.” One of the sisters-in-law replied after hearing their conversation.

Qin Xue also wanted to take the opportunity to tell everyone about her pregnancy, for she didn’t know when Chu Molin would come back from his mission.

In a while, she would show her pregnancy and let people know that she was pregnant, but she didn’t know what it would be called.

Nowadays, due to the lack of knowledge, most women are from rural areas. They come here because their husbands have read more and have the opportunity to do other things. The women all like to gossip and are typical long-tongued women. When people talk too much, it’s annoying, so Qin Xue thinks it’s better to avoid it if possible.

“Yes, thank you, sister-in-law. I am pregnant. I found out when the doctor gave me a checkup while I was hospitalized for my injury last time, and I was already two months pregnant.

I was lucky to have discovered it early or I wouldn’t have been able to keep the baby and I wouldn’t have been able to explain it to Molin when he came back.” Qin Xue was still scared when she thought about it.

If she hadn’t entered this body in time, an innocent life would have been lost too.

“The wife of Mr. Chu, you have good luck. I hope you will have a boy.” The several women on the car had no conflicts with Qin Xue, and they all congratulated her.

But the idea of having a boy made Qin Xue feel a little unhappy. What’s wrong with a girl? Girls are also her own children, and they are very popular in modern times.

However, now most people value boys over girls, so Qin Xue could only suppress her unhappiness and say with a faint expression:

“Thank you, sisters-in-law, for your good wishes. But now it’s a new society, and Mr. Mao said that women can also hold up half the sky, so even if it’s a girl, I’d be very happy.”

Others heard her and were happy, but some of their faces froze. Qin Xue didn’t care what they thought, she just shut her mouth and closed her eyes leaning against Fang Hong.

“Qin Xue, what’s wrong? Your face is so pale, are you uncomfortable?” It was Yu Xiu who noticed that something was wrong with Qin Xue.

“Sister-in-law, I’m fine, I just feel a little nauseous suddenly. I’ll close my eyes for a while and feel better.” Qin Xue knew that this was the reaction of pregnant vomiting, and it was normal to feel nauseous sitting in the car.

Yu Xiu saw that there was nothing else wrong with Qin Xue and let her be.

Finally, when Qin Xue could barely hold on any longer, they arrived at their destination. As soon as she got out of the car, Qin Xue put her things on the ground and ran to the side of the road to vomit violently, only stopping when the bile came out.

She thought that the original body had already passed the vomiting period during pregnancy, but today she vomited again after sitting in the car. It was so uncomfortable, she had to go back and cook some porridge.

Fang Hong and Yu Xiu carried Qin Xue’s things and waited for her to finish vomiting before going to the residential building. Seeing her vomiting so uncomfortably, they didn’t let her carry anything and walked with empty hands.action

“Qin Xue, since you didn’t buy any vegetables today, our home garden has some. You can go pick some. There’s plenty in the garden, just pick whatever you want to eat.” After spending so much time together and getting to know each other, Fang Hong genuinely treated Qin Xue as her sister.

“Yeah, we have some too. Just go and pick whatever you like to eat.” Yu Xiu also felt that Qin Xue was not like what others had said, and she was willing to treat her well.

Seeing the sincerity of the two, Qin Xue was happy and even more determined to repay their kindness.

“Alright, thank you both. I was thinking of cooking some porridge later.

So, I’ll go pick some green vegetables later and stir-fry them.” Speaking of cooking, Qin Xue remembered that she had never cooked before.

Besides the salt, there was not even a pot in the house. It seemed that she would have to go back to the small market later to see if there were any pots for sale. Why did she forget to buy one in the county town?

Returning home after putting away her things and drinking some water, Qin Xue locked the door and went straight to the small market.

Perhaps because it was close to the afternoon, there were not many people. Only a scattering of old farmers were selling vegetables.

At this time, it was still considered public property and not their own. In order to do business, they needed to go to the village commune for a signature, otherwise, they would be accused of speculation and criticized.

The consequences would be very serious. Qin Xue walked around and finally found a small blacksmith shop at the end. The shop was not big, but it had pots of various sizes.

Qin Xue picked a pot for cooking rice, one for stir-frying dishes, and one for making soup. In the end, she bought a spatula and paid for everything.

She went to the grocery store to buy soy sauce, but she didn’t see any spices, so she had to make do with what she had.

She would buy more in the county town some other day. Today, she mainly explored the market and forgot to buy a lot of things. She would go back and make a shopping list before buying more.

Carrying these things was quite heavy, but it was not convenient to put them in her storage space here. Instead, she could only carry them slowly. After buying the vegetables and ten eggs, she went home.

Since the pots were new, Qin Xue cut a piece of fat to fry them in before washing and cooking.

Qin Xue opened the wind door, put in a coal briquette, and put the rice pot on top of it. After washing the vegetables, she waited for the porridge to be ready before stir-frying.

Today she was really tired. After closing the wind door, she went to the bathroom to wash her face and fell asleep on the bed for a while. How long did she sleep for?

Qin Xue woke up to the smell of the rice. She was so hungry that her stomach was growling.

Qin Xue sat on the bed, dazed for a few minutes before putting on her shoes and washing up. She didn’t know if it was because of the pregnancy, but this body was so weak.

In the past, she was never so weak. Sometimes during surgery, she would work for hours and not feel as tired as she was today.

It seems that it is necessary to make some changes slowly, or it will become even more tiring when the belly gets bigger.

Looking at the woman in the mirror, Qin Xue felt that she was somehow different.

After serving herself a bowl of cold porridge, Qin Xue took the pot off the heat to swap it for a frying pan to stir-fry vegetables.

Well, her cooking skills were still so good. Although it was just a simple stir-fried green vegetable, the taste was not bad.

It tasted different without the pollution of chemical fertilizers and pesticides. In the end, Qin Xue ate two bowls of porridge and a plate of vegetables.

Well, she was so full, she couldn’t eat anymore.

Walking back and forth in the living room to digest her food, Qin Xue cleaned up the dishes and utensils after she was no longer so full.

She divided the pork belly she had bought into three portions, giving about a pound and a half each to Fang Hong’s family and Yu Xiu’s family, while keeping the rest for herself to eat.

Perhaps because the original body hadn’t eaten much meat, Qin Xue thought about braised pork and garlic-stir-fried pork belly and started drooling.

When did she become so indecisive, drooling just thinking about it? So embarrassing. Fang Hong’s family was on the same floor, so Qin Xue packed the meat and took two apples to Fang Hong’s family first.
