Chapter 737: We Have Many Good Friends

Fu Mingxue quickly finished her work and returned to the compound.

Mrs. Fu and the two children were overjoyed to see her.

"Mom, you’re finally here! My brother and I missed you so much."

Qin Keke had become quite articulate.

"Mom, my brother and I made some new friends, too!"

Fu Mingxue couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow at this.

"Good friends?"

’Were there children their age in the family compound?’

Just then, Mrs. Fu said, "These two are really something. All the neighborhood kids love playing with them. Even the children next door want to play with the two of them."

Fu Mingxue’s lips twitched. "You mean Sister Wang’s family next door? Isn’t her child several years older?"

’How could someone so much older be playing with kids so much younger?’

"Well, for whatever reason, they just love playing with our Hao Hao and Keke," Mrs. Fu said, full of pride.

’As expected of our kids.’

Fu Mingxue was puzzled at first, but then she began to understand.

Compared to the other children in the compound, her twins were remarkably clean.

Moreover, despite their young age, they had strong logical reasoning and were very articulate.

On top of that, their family never lacked for snacks, and the two children were generous.

Who wouldn’t want to play with friends who were generous and clean?

"Our Hao Hao and Keke are the best!"

The twins beamed at the praise.

"Mom, my brother and I love it here. There are so many kids to play with!"

There were plenty of children in the alleyways back at their courtyard house, too.

But Mrs. Fu usually wouldn’t let them stay out for very long.

What if she looked away for a moment and someone abducted them?

It would be too late for tears then.

Since she was the one looking after the children, it was her responsibility.

She absolutely could not let anything happen to the two of them.

Seeing the siblings so happy made Fu Mingxue happy as well.

"I’m glad you like it! You’ll be going to school here, too!"

The two little ones were thrilled to hear they would be going to school here.

Just then, Mrs. Fu spoke up. "Why don’t you two go play by yourselves for a bit? Let your mom take a shower and have something to eat. She’s tired from the long train ride."

Hearing that their mother was tired, the children immediately grew concerned. "Mom, you should go get all clean and fresh! We can talk later. My brother and I have so much to tell you!"

Fu Mingxue found her daughter impossibly adorable.

She reached out and patted the little one’s head. "Alright, then we’ll have a good long chat later."

She went to wash her hair and take a shower.

Meanwhile, Mrs. Fu quickly whipped up a bowl of noodles for her.

Eating the hot noodles felt wonderful to Fu Mingxue.

"Mom, I was craving this the whole time I was on the train. I’m so glad to finally be eating it. It’s delicious."

Mrs. Fu immediately replied, "Then eat up. There’s more in the pot. By the way, are you going back to work tomorrow?"

Fu Mingxue nodded. "I’m heading to the factory in a little while."

Mrs. Fu was surprised. "So soon? Shouldn’t you get some rest?"

’But you just got back!’

’And it’s already around three o’clock.’

"I don’t need to rest. I got plenty on the train. Don’t wait for me for dinner; I expect I’ll be home late tonight."

The last time she’d returned to Beijing for the New Year, she had given the car back to the factory.

’Of course, even now, she wouldn’t drive that car to work.’

’She’d rather not take up the factory’s resources.’

’Besides, her electric bike was quite fast.’

’And in any case, she estimated she wouldn’t be spending much time at the factory in the coming months. She’d be spending most of her time at the base.’
