Chapter 473: That Friend of Yours Is So Nice

Fu Mingxue didn’t have a class first period, so it didn’t matter that she was late.

However, she had six classes today, so she was still very busy.

What’s more, a lot of people came to her with questions after class.

When students asked questions, she couldn’t just refuse to answer.

Fortunately, no one took up her lunch break.

However, she didn’t have time to rest during lunch anyway, as she used the opportunity to work on her own blueprints.

This included noting certain problems, jotting down new ideas, and recording data derived from her insights.

So, she really had no time to spare for anything else.

In the afternoon, she remembered the meat and vegetables she needed to take home. She took out her large cloth bag, placed a few books inside, and then left the school on her bicycle.

Once she reached a deserted stretch of road, she moved the items from her space into the large cloth bag.

In turn, she placed the books from the bag into her space.

With a quick swap like that, no one would notice a thing unless they were paying close attention.

When she got home, she found the house was quite lively.

The oldest was reading a comic book while the other three were playing Eagle Catches the Chick.

’How nice.’

"Mommy!"

"Auntie!"

...

The three children who had been playing immediately crowded around her.

"Hello, my darlings!"

The twins were used to their mom calling them darlings, so they didn’t think much of it.

But Qin Ruqiao, who heard it less often, still blushed shyly when her auntie called her a darling.

Just then, Qin Yue, who had been reading the comic book, walked over and said politely, "Hello, Auntie."

"Hello!"

Her gaze fell on the comic book in Qin Yue’s hand. "You like reading these? I’ll get you some more later. By the way, are you in first grade or second grade right now?"

’I remember this kid will be nine after the New Year.’

"Auntie, I’m in second grade now."

"Second grade, huh! I’ll bring you some homework tomorrow."

’I wonder if the system gives rewards for making other people’s kids do their homework?’

’After all, the system rewards me every day for teaching my university students. It’s not much, but every little bit helps, and it adds up to a considerable amount over time.’

Qin Yue: ...?

Mrs. Fu, who was just coming out of the kitchen, happened to overhear this.

She couldn’t help but want to roll her eyes. ’Here she goes again.’

’Can’t she just let the children have a childhood without homework?’

’I certainly didn’t make her do this much homework when she was young.’

However, Qin Yue just nodded obediently. "Okay!"

"Big Brother, Mommy will give you a reward!" Qin Keke’s enunciation was already very clear.

Moreover, her ability to express herself was also quite good.

In her mind, every time she and her brother did well in their studies, Mommy would give them a reward.

So, now that Mommy was making their big brother do homework, there was definitely a reward involved.

Qin Yue glanced at her, then at his aunt. Just as he was about to say he didn’t want a reward, he heard his aunt say, "Keke, you’re amazing! And she’s right, there is a reward. Alright, you all go play for now. Mommy is going to help Grandma cook."

"Mom, a friend helped me buy all this fish, meat, and vegetables. By the way, I’ll have rice and white flour tomorrow."

She didn’t bring them out today because the Qin family had already given their family twenty-pound bags of both rice and flour.

As soon as Mrs. Fu heard this, she immediately went to get the large cloth bag hanging from the bicycle.

She gave it a lift. It was surprisingly heavy.

"How much is in here?"

"Ten pounds of pork belly, two fish, and some vegetables. There’s more coming tomorrow. It’s easy for my friend to shop, so I just gave them the money to buy things for me."

’The system really is just too convenient,’ she thought.

’Over the past few months, she had managed to save up nearly fifty pounds of meat.’

’Not to mention the rice and flour—she had over a hundred pounds of each.’
