Chapter 1729: Secondment Ends 4

Although it is called Eight Treasure Rice, it is not a real Eight Treasure Rice because some of the ingredients are hard to find now.

So, Feng Qingxue mixed candied dates, red beans, raisins, wolfberries, diced mango, diced coconut meat, glutinous rice and sugar, and put them into a peeled coconut with a small opening on the top, injected an appropriate amount of coconut milk, and steamed it in a pot.

All eight coconuts were used, but the coconut milk was not used up, and was shared by several children.

After it was done, Feng Qingxue gave three to Gu Dasao and Gu Mei, leaving five, which she cut and put on a plate. She and Zhuangzhuang shared one. Both mother and son had a small appetite, and glutinous rice was easy to accumulate food, so they did not dare to give Zhuangzhuang more. Cheng Baoguo and his wife shared one because they were old and had weak spleen and stomach, and the remaining four children shared three.

The sweet and delicious coconut eight-treasure rice received unanimous praise from everyone, and the fragrant dishes were almost ignored.

Lu Erxiong was still not satisfied, "Mom, I want to eat it tomorrow."

"I'll make it for you when I come back from the sea. When I'm not at home, you should listen to grandpa, grandma, brothers and sisters, don't be naughty, and don't bully Dundun and Zhuangzhuang."

Lu Erxiong waved, "Goodbye, Mom!"

Children who are used to their parents' work will not be reluctant to leave! Little eyes looked at Feng Qingxue.

Feng Qingxue patted his head, "Do you really want me to go to sea?"

"Mom has to work. Dad said that Mom's work is very important, so she can't accompany us every day. We have to wait for Mom to come back at home!" Lu Erxiong said that he was very obedient.

Feng Qingxue's eyes turned red all of a sudden.

For a moment, she really wanted to give up her job and stay at home to accompany her children, so that they could have a carefree childhood.

But she knew that this was unrealistic, and she should do her job, so she went to sea with the ship early the next morning.

Although the naval battle had ended more than half a year ago, the threat at sea had not disappeared. Yue still occupied several islands in the South China Sea and refused to return them. There were still troops on the southeast islands eyeing them covetously.

The seven or eight doctors seconded to the island each performed their duties. Feng Qingxue had not seen Minglan and Tang Yan for a long time.

Going out to sea was easier than staying on the island. When Feng Qingxue met the old squad leader again, the old squad leader handed her two cans filled with colorful pearls.

Feng Qingxue knew how to behave and made him two pairs of cloth shoes with thousand-layer soles. The old squad leader naturally returned the favor.

The liberation shoes issued by the army had a good reputation and were treasured by the country people. However, they were not breathable and easy to cover the feet, especially in summer. The smell of the feet wearing liberation shoes was not to be mentioned. Many soldiers had rotten feet.

"Since you like it, I asked for some from others and gave them to your daughter to play with. I heard that your son and daughter are here."

Feng Qingxue took them with a smile and thanked him.

Autumn is the pearl-hunting season, and Feng Qingxue has asked Stationmaster Gu to leave her a few kilograms of good pearls.

Because of his relationship with the Gu and Guo families, Stationmaster Gu did not refuse.

In early August, Doctor Guo came back exhausted, but Shi Guantao was not with him. It turned out that after meeting the relatives of the Gu and Guo families, his vacation was over and he stayed in the capital to continue working.

Doctor Guo wanted to stay with her son and arrange his lifelong affairs, but she had a strong sense of responsibility. Even if she was re-employed, she had to continue. She couldn't resign rashly because of her son. She planned to quit her job and go directly to the capital after some time. She couldn't let go of her son who she had just met and hadn't been with for a month.

Feng Qingxue didn't have time to agree before she received a transfer order to return to Wucheng Army.
