Chapter 1238: Leisure Time 3
Hearing the call, Feng Qingxue let the visitor in while resisting the urge to press her hand to her forehead.
The one saving grace was that Zhu Cuihong, who had just come in, was not like Xiu Qinghe, trying to take advantage of the situation. Instead, she carried a bowl of egg custard, "Sister-in-law, I made egg custard for the kids this morning, but he couldn’t finish it, so I’m giving the rest to Zhuangzhuang."
"Thank you, Cuihong," Feng Qingxue said as she got down from the heated brick bed to take the bowl. "Once Zhuangzhuang has finished, I’ll ask Sister Tian to return the bowl to you."
When returning the bowl, it’s customary to include some other food in it as a reciprocating gift.
Zhu Cuihong waved her hand dismissively, "What’s the rush? We’re not eagerly waiting to use the bowl. By the way, sister-in-law, tomorrow is Su Junlin’s daughter’s hundred-day celebration. Are you going? If so, let’s go together."
Three months before, Bai Xue had given birth to a delicate baby girl, which delighted Su Junlin so much he practically wanted to announce it to the world.
Feng Qingxue had visited Bai Xue and her daughter the day before yesterday and had brought quite a few gifts. She had already told them she wouldn’t come for the hundred days celebration because there would probably be many guests. Even without bringing a gift, Su Junlin’s position and family background meant that just paying a visit was significant. However, she was worried that her own presence with her son might overshadow Bai Xue and her daughter. She also feared the crowd might cause Zhuangzhuang to become upset and cry incessantly.
Bai Xue was very understanding and mentioned there was no need to be formal, as they had no plans to hold a grand celebration for the hundred-days milestone.
In such tense times, who would dare to take the risk?
