1970s: A hot-tempered wife who accompanied a soldier to the military compound and made a fortune.

Chapter 75 Could this be considered a blessing in disguise?

The young nurse, afraid of being late, quickened her pace: "Director Zhang of the cafeteria is a master chef with a chef's certificate. Making a fish is a piece of cake for him."

When the two arrived, the head nurse was already waiting there: "Director Zhang, this is the girl I told you about."

After saying that, he waved to Chuxue: "Little Liu, this is Director Zhang from our hospital cafeteria."

Chu Xue noticed the way Director Zhang was scrutinizing her and instantly understood the head nurse's intention.

Director Zhang asked with a smile, "I heard you're quite skilled at fishing?"

Chu Xue didn't mince words, after all, if things really were as she thought, then she could openly improve her life: "I'm not worthy of the title, but I have indeed had good luck these past few days."

Director Zhang was surprised by how interesting the little girl was and couldn't help but laugh: "Then, could you give priority to supplying the fish you catch to our canteen in the future?"

Chu Xue's lips curled into a smile, feigning surprise, "Really? You can take as many as I catch?"

Director Zhang was surprised by the girl's question and glanced at the head nurse standing beside him: "How many can you catch?"

Chu Xue didn't want to be too flamboyant: "That's hard to say, it all depends on luck."

Director Zhang was a little uncertain after hearing her say that: "How about this, fifty catties a day, the canteen should be able to handle it. If you can catch some, send it over."

Chu Xue screamed in her heart: This is wonderful!

Once the matter was settled, Director Zhang had someone pack a box full of braised fish chunks for Chu Xue.

They didn't tell her to go back to the front window to queue: "What other dishes do you want? Have them get them and bring them to you."

Chu Xue didn't stand on ceremony and ordered five steamed buns made from two kinds of dough and a serving of stir-fried shredded potatoes.

She didn't ask for soup, firstly because it was inconvenient to carry, and secondly because the two hens she had taken from the Ge family's space had laid eggs, so she simply put two in her pocket, intending to make egg tea for them later.

When Liu's mother saw her daughter come in, she quickly went forward to take the things from her hands.

When she saw the braised fish in the lunchbox, she gasped. This was the first time she had ever eaten something so luxurious. Before, even when her family stewed meat or fish, she was already lucky to get a piece to taste. Thinking about it, her eyes welled up with tears.

She glanced at her husband, who was also lost in thought, and couldn't help but wonder: Could this be considered a blessing in disguise for them?

Chu Xue urged, "Hurry up and get the chopsticks, they'll get cold and won't taste good."

As she spoke, she pulled two raw eggs out of her pocket: "Mom, I'll make you some egg tea later."

Upon seeing the eggs, Liu's mother asked, "Where did these come from?"

"I just swapped it with someone in the cafeteria."

"Just make one for your dad, save the other one for him tomorrow."

She leaned closer to Liu's mother and said, "The head nurse just introduced me to Director Zhang from the hospital cafeteria. Director Zhang said that if I catch any fish in the future, I should bring them to the cafeteria."

Liu's mother's eyes widened: "Really?"

Chu Xue nodded emphatically: "So, you don't need to be frugal. I'll find someone to exchange some more and keep them. You can make one every day."

Liu's father naturally heard this as well. Ever since he injured his leg, things had been so unbelievable. Instead of being driven to despair, things were getting better and better. They were even eating braised fish and drinking egg tea. It all felt a bit unreal.

The family of three thoroughly enjoyed the meal.

After dinner, Chuxue checked the time and said, "Mom, thank you for staying with me at the hospital tonight. I'll take over tomorrow night."

Liu's mother assumed her daughter was just tired: "I haven't done anything all day. I'll stay here tonight to take care of your father. You should go back and rest."

Chu Xue didn't explain. She greeted Liu's father and told him to go directly to the moat the next day before leaving the hospital.
