Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

“Dad, actually, I came here to discuss something important with you.” Qin Xue responded immediately after Ye Xiao raised the question.

“That’s fine, but you can’t stay too long. You’re aware we have many soldiers with problems, big and small. I was hoping you’d return to work as soon as possible. However, after seeing your home situation last time, I didn’t feel right pressuring you. You can go now, but make sure you return as soon as possible.” Ye Xiao had to agree. After all, an entire village’s lives were at stake and Qin Xue was their only hope. There was no way he could prevent her from going.

“Thank you, Dad. I will find the cause as soon as possible and return soon after that.” Qin Xue was well aware of the urgency.

“What about the kids?” Ye Xiao asked, looking at the two children in his arms.

“I’ll take them back to my mother for a while. After I return from Zhongzhai, I’ll pick them up and bring them back to the Imperial Capital.” Qin Xue explained her plans to Ye Xiao.

“That works. As long as you two have sorted it out.” Ye Xiao initially thought Qin Xue and her family would bring the children along. He was prepared to argue against it, unaware they would not risk it. It’s a better arrangement. He loved those two children and was worried that something might happen to them.

“Don’t worry, we won’t risk the children’s safety under those conditions.” Chu Molin would never expose his children to danger, and if it were not for his wife’s insistence, he would not have allowed her to go either.

“Have you eaten yet? Let’s eat together.” Ye Xiao glanced at the clock; it was nearly lunchtime.

Ye Xiao usually ate in the cafeteria, so no one brought him food. The guard knew of this routine and wouldn’t bother him about meals unless he was too busy to leave his office.

“Sure, I brought some food for you. You can try it and see if it suits your taste. If not, I’ll make it better next time.” Qin Xue said, pulling out two jars of pickles and two bags of dried meat from her backpack for Ye Xiao.

“You didn’t use all your meat coupons to buy this, did you?” Although Ye Xiao was thrilled, he wondered if these young folks might be too impractical.

“No, we only bought some. Some of this food I prepared and brought from my mother’s house.” Qin Xue laughed. She actually bought and prepared the food after she returned to the Imperial Capital, but there was no need to mention that to Ye Xiao.

“That’s good then. I have some meat coupons here, take some back when you leave. Aren’t you going to send the children to the Yues? Take some for your mom.” Ye Xiao handed one child to Chu Molin, opened the drawer, and gave Qin Xue several dozen meat coupons.

“Dad, keep the coupons. The village distributes pork, so you don’t need to worry about them not having meat to eat.” Qin Xue tried not to laugh. She had spiritual mice in her dimensional space, which she could use to make dried meat. It’s the ultimate delicacy.

“Take it. Just tell your parents that I gave it to you.” Ye Xiao thought Qin Xue hesitated due to guilt, so he reassured her.

“But Dad, if you gave me all of this, what about you and Ye Xuan?” Qin Xue was torn. Whether she accepted it or not, it seemed inappropriate.

“We, father and son, eat in the cafeteria. We don’t need these.” These were their allowances. But since both father and son spent most of their time in the military quarters, there was no one home to cook. Therefore, they got to save these allowances. If they sent the allowances home immediately upon receipt, like others do, they probably would not have had a single meat or grain coupon left.
