Back to the 60s: The Struggle Career of a Charmed Wife

It was called Eight Treasures Rice, but it couldn’t be considered the true Eight Treasures Rice because some ingredients are currently hard to find.

So, Feng Qingxue used honey dates, red beans, raisins, goji berries, mango cubes, and coconut meat diced, mixed them evenly with glutinous rice and white sugar, then stuffed them into coconuts that had been peeled and had small openings at the top. She poured in an appropriate amount of coconut milk and steamed them until cooked.

All eight coconuts were used, although there was leftover coconut milk, which was shared among the children to drink.

After it was done, Feng Qingxue sent three to Sister Gu and Gu Mei. With five left, she cut them open and plated them. She and Zhuangzhuang shared one, as both mother and child have small appetites, and glutinous rice can easily cause indigestion, so she dared not let Zhuangzhuang eat too much. Cheng Baoguo and his wife shared one due to their old and weak stomachs, leaving the four children to share three.

The delicious coconut Eight Treasures Rice received unanimous praise, while the fragrant dishes almost went untouched.

Lu Erxiong wasn’t satisfied, "Mom, I want to eat it again tomorrow."

"I’ll make it for you when I return from the sea. While I’m not at home, be obedient and listen to your grandparents and older siblings. No mischief, and don’t bully Dundun and Zhuangzhuang."

Lu Erxiong waved, "Goodbye, Mom!"

Children accustomed to their parents’ work wouldn’t feel reluctant! His little eyes watched Feng Qingxue.

Feng Qingxue tapped him on the head, "Do you really want me to go to sea that much?"

"Mom has to work. Dad mentioned that Mom’s job is important, so she can’t be with us every day. We should behave and wait at home for Mom to return!" Lu Erxiong earnestly expressed how obedient he was.

Feng Qingxue’s eyes suddenly turned red.
