Chapter 153: Can You Get Me a Job Too?
Fu Mingxue pointed next door and asked in a low voice, "What’s going on?"
So early in the morning, that vicious mother-in-law next door was already yelling at her daughter-in-law.
Mrs. Fu felt that having that family for neighbors was just the worst luck.
"The daughter-in-law ruined a batch of steamed buns this morning, and that old hag has been yelling at her ever since."
Fu Mingxue: ...?
It couldn’t help but remind her of that woman from the Song Family.
In her past life, her own vicious mother-in-law could have given the one next door a run for her money.
’Forget it. I’m not going to think about it,’ she thought. ’Just the thought of it is depressing.’
"Why don’t we look for another house? It’s so annoying living here."
"Where would we find another house? I’ve already asked around—housing on the base is in high demand right now! Especially a good house; you’ll never find one of those empty. Our son-in-law’s place with its yard is quite nice. Today I’ll see if I can trade for some vegetable seedlings, some scallions, and we can get them planted."
"Also, I heard they’re letting people raise chickens now. I’ll trade for a few chicks from someone so we can raise our own."
Mrs. Fu already had it all planned out.
Besides trading for chicks, she also planned to find someone to trade with for two hens—that way, they could lay eggs for the two children to eat.
Fu Mingxue had no objections. "Okay, you can handle all that. I’m going to go check on the kids."
"They’re still asleep. Be quiet when you go in," Mrs. Fu reminded her.
Fu Mingxue entered her mother’s room and saw the two little ones sleeping soundly.
They looked especially adorable with their rosy cheeks.
’They’re at that age where everyone just adores them!’
Just as she leaned in to give him a kiss, the little guy’s eyes fluttered open.
"Oh, my big boy! Come here, let Mommy give you a kiss."
Fu Mingxue planted a big kiss on Qin Hao’s cheek.
Just then, the other little one woke up as well.
Not wanting to play favorites, Fu Mingxue also kissed Qin Keke’s soft, rosy cheek.
The kiss made Little Keke giggle. "Mama—"
Fu Mingxue was overjoyed to hear that. "Oh, my darling, Mommy loves you so much! Come, one more kiss."
SMOOCH.
When Mrs. Fu came in, she hurried her along. "Don’t you have to get to work? Go eat. I’ll get the two of them dressed."
"It’s still early, no need to rush. I’ll dress one of them." She put a pretty little coat on Qin Keke.
Once her top and pants were on, she thought her daughter looked absolutely beautiful.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Fu had already finished efficiently dressing little Qin Hao.
She went to get some warm water to wash the two little ones’ faces and hands.
Seeing this, Fu Mingxue took the initiative to prepare formula for the two of them.
Around seven o’clock, Fu Mingxue finally got ready to leave for the factory.
She had calculated that it would take about twenty minutes to get there by bike.
"Mom, I’m heading out now. Don’t wait for me for dinner, I might be back late. Oh, and you don’t need to wait up. Don’t bolt the door; I can let myself in."
"Alright. Be careful coming home tonight." Of course, Mrs. Fu was worried.
’If it were just the day shift, that would be one thing,’ she thought.
’But working the night shift, in the dead of night? There wouldn’t be a soul on the road. How dangerous would that be?’
However, she didn’t voice these worries.
Just as Fu Mingxue was wheeling her bicycle out of the yard, someone suddenly blocked her path.
"Comrade Fu Mingxue—"
Fu Mingxue was a little baffled. ’What does this person want?’
"And you are?"
"Comrade Fu Mingxue, I heard you work at the automobile engine factory. Do you think you could help get me in, too? Oh, right, my name is Zhu Xiaohong. My husband’s family name is Lü."
