Chapter 435: Her Daughter Has Gone Demented Again

Fu Mingxue had thought that since she hadn’t seen her two children in three months, they would be distant with her.

But to her surprise, when she kissed the two little ones, they didn’t resist at all. In fact, they affectionately called her "Mama."

"Missed you, Mama."

"Good kids. Mama missed you too."

Then she planted another loud SMOOCH on each of their cheeks.

This made Qin Wenhao, who was standing to the side, terribly jealous.

’From the moment my wife walked in last night until now, she hasn’t said she missed me, let alone kissed me.’

"Hold on, Mama’s got presents for you."

Fu Mingxue recalled that the rewards from her spatial system over the past three months had been quite plentiful.

After all, she had also been completing tasks related to her job.

For instance, she could complete daily tasks just by doing things like reading.

The system would also give her rewards whenever she helped solve problems at the base.

However, the rewards were mostly small amounts of cash and staples like grain, oil, rice, flour, and fabric.

She hurried back to the room. Before Qin Wenhao could follow her in, she quickly pulled two extra-large lollipops from her space.

Then she took out the handful of picture books.

After a moment’s thought, she also pulled out a few handwriting workbooks.

She had already written the first character in each one as an example.

"Here you go, sweethearts. Candy for you."

When Qin Wenhao saw his wife produce two palm-sized lollipops, he couldn’t help but ask, "You can buy candy this big at the base?"

To be honest, he’d never seen candy like this before.

Fu Mingxue remained calm and gave a catch-all excuse. "They were a gift."

Qin Wenhao didn’t question it.

After all, it was normal for the engineers to bring a few things from home.

Some had even studied abroad.

And plenty came over from Xiangjiang.

Besides, for all he knew, the stores might sell them. It wasn’t like he usually paid attention to such things.

The two children were absolutely delighted by the enormous lollipops.

They both accepted them happily.

"Thank you, Mama!"

Hearing their thanks delighted Fu Mingxue. ’Look at that, such polite children.’

"Mama wasn’t here for your birthday, so consider these picture books my gift to you!"

Five books for each of them.

That way, there was no need to worry about an uneven split.

Besides, they could just trade and read the others’ books when they were done.

"And these are for handwriting practice. You each get five of these, too."

Qin Wenhao: ...?

Mrs. Fu came out just in time to see this.

She was speechless.

’The children are still so young, and the moment she’s back she wants them to practice handwriting.’

"By the way, Mom, have they done any writing practice these past three months?"

Mrs. Fu: ?...

"No. They’re still little. They can’t even hold a pen properly, what’s there to write?"

Fu Mingxue: ...? "Not even their 1-2-3s?"

"No," Mrs. Fu said confidently.

Fu Mingxue was floored.

’So that’s why,’ she thought. ’The system hadn’t given me a single reward related to the children.’

’Turns out they hadn’t learned a thing in the last three months.’

Then a thought struck her, and she couldn’t help but look at Qin Wenhao—she remembered he had returned earlier than her.

"You didn’t teach the kids some boxing or have them go for a run or anything?"

Qin Wenhao: ...? "—No."

Mrs. Fu couldn’t stand by and watch this any longer.

"That’s enough. Your husband is a busy man, where would he find the time? Besides, the children are still little. You shouldn’t have such high expectations."

"Hurry up and eat your breakfast. If you don’t go now, you’ll be late for work."

Fu Mingxue considered this and realized she really did need to hurry to the factory.

So she immediately went to eat her breakfast.

Mrs. Fu, meanwhile, took the large lollipops away from the children.

"There now, good children. No candy in the morning. We have to eat our meal first. Besides, you can’t eat this much sugar all at once."

’A lollipop that big ought to be broken into pieces to be eaten.’

’If they ate the whole thing at once, wouldn’t it rot their teeth?’

Fortunately, the two children were very obedient to their grandma. When they saw the lollipops being taken away, they didn’t cry or throw a tantrum.
