Chapter 727 New Year’s Goods

"Of course it’s true." Fu Mingxue nodded seriously.

After all, babies can’t control themselves. Who didn’t wet the bed when they were a baby?

She wasn’t lying.

Qin Keke was happy now.

’After all, if a dad as amazing as hers wet the bed, then it’s no big deal if she does, right?’

"Mom, you can go back to sleep. Keke is going to help Grandma with her chores."

Without waiting for Fu Mingxue to reply, Qin Keke turned and pattered away.

Fu Mingxue was at a loss.

’How could such an adorable child exist in this world?’

’She’s just a little kid, yet she wants to help Grandma with chores first thing in the morning?’

’What chores could she possibly do?’

’This made her, the mother, feel like a total waste for still lying in bed.’

’After all, the old and the young were already busy.’

’And here she was, the youngest and strongest laborer, still in bed.’

’Oh well, if I’m a waste, I’m a waste!’

’I’ll just lie here a little longer...’

Half an hour later, Fu Mingxue got up and walked out of the room.

The courtyard was bustling with activity.

Qin Wenhao was slaughtering a chicken.

Her mom was washing and scrubbing.

And the two little ones were eating breakfast.

"Why are we slaughtering chickens again today?" And two of them, at that.

"We’ll eat one today and the other for the New Year."

Fu Mingxue said no more.

The rich, meaty aroma filling the entire courtyard, however, was incredibly strong.

There must be a lot of meat stewing in the pot in the kitchen.

She went to brush her teeth and wash her face first.

Just as she was about to eat breakfast, there was a knock on the door.

Qin Wenhao went to open the door.

He saw a tricycle parked outside.

Two men were unloading goods from it.

"What are you—"

One of the men unloading the goods asked, "Excuse me, is this Group Leader Fu Mingxue’s home?"

Qin Wenhao nodded. "Yes! This is her home. What are you doing?"

"Well, we’re from the First Auto Factory and the bicycle factory, respectively. Our factory leaders sent us to deliver New Year’s goods to Group Leader Fu."

Hearing this, Qin Wenhao couldn’t help but glance at the tricycle, which was piled high with goods.

’Are they sure this is a delivery?’

’Anyone who didn’t know better would think they were hauling this cart of goods off to sell!’

Qin Wenhao didn’t let the two men bring the items inside. After all, you couldn’t just casually accept certain things.

He said to them, "Wait a moment. I’ll go ask my wife."

The two men waited outside obediently.

Qin Wenhao returned to the main hall and said to Fu Mingxue, "Honey, some people from the First Auto Factory and the bicycle factory are here to deliver New Year’s goods for you. They brought a tricycle full of stuff."

Fu Mingxue, who was in the middle of breakfast, couldn’t help but look up.

"Delivering New Year’s goods?"

Qin Wenhao nodded. "Yeah, a lot of it! Why don’t you go take a look."

Fu Mingxue forgot about her food and walked right out.

"Group Leader Fu, we’re here on behalf of the bicycle factory and the First Auto Factory. These are the New Year’s goods selected by the factory leadership. Here is the list of goods. Please sign for them!"

Fu Mingxue remembered that when she ran into Director Zhang two days ago, he had mentioned he would send some New Year’s goods over.

She just hadn’t expected the factories to send her so much.

’Just look at this list—twenty-two pounds of rice, twenty-two pounds of flour, oil, meat, candy, three boxes each of apples and oranges, a pig’s leg, and another twenty-two pounds of pork.’

In addition, there was a sealed red envelope with at least five hundred yuan inside.

And this was just the list from the First Auto Factory.

The bicycle factory had given a similar amount of goods.

However, the red envelope from them seemed even thicker than the one from the First Auto Factory.

She glanced at it and saw it wasn’t a personal gift, but was stamped with the official seal of the work unit.

So she said to the two deliverymen, "Please thank your leaders for me."

Then she took a pen from her pocket and quickly signed her name on both delivery slips.
