Chapter 191: Your Son-in-law Is Still Very Impressive
When the two arrived home, Mrs. Fu saw her son-in-law drenched.
She was taken aback. "Did you fall in the river?"
Fu Mingxue immediately explained, "The kid next door fell into the river, and Qin Wenhao jumped in to save them."
Mrs. Fu gasped and quickly asked, "Is the child all right?"
"They’re fine. We got the water out. They’ve been taken to the infirmary. Mom, no more questions for now. Let Qin Wenhao go get changed."
’In the dead of winter, how cold must that be?’
’This was a whole lot different than taking a cold shower.’
Hearing this, Mrs. Fu quickly urged Qin Wenhao to go change.
Fu Mingxue then said to Qin Wenhao, "You don’t need to take me. I’ll get to work on my own."
Qin Wenhao considered that changing his clothes and everything would indeed take some time.
So he nodded. "All right."
He went to change, while Fu Mingxue quickly wheeled her bicycle out and left.
Because of the delay, she was half an hour late by the time she arrived at the factory.
When Fu Mingxue got to the lab, everyone was already busy.
She also quickly changed into her work clothes.
Just then, Xu Ming came over.
"Group Leader Fu, Master Yang was successful. He wants you to go take a look."
"Oh, he succeeded? Did he go home really late last night?"
Fu Mingxue had left relatively early the previous night, around 9:30.
When she left, the others were still working.
"It must have been very late." Xu Ming didn’t know what time he had gotten off work, either.
In any case, he hadn’t gone to the workshop to check when he left.
He had only gone over this morning because he thought Group Leader Fu was in the workshop.
"I’ll go take a look." Fu Mingxue hurried off.
When she arrived at the workshop, Master Yang handed her the finished product without waiting for her to say a word. "Take a look. A perfect, seamless fit."
"Let me see." She wasn’t just going to look at it; she had to take measurements.
An hour later, Fu Mingxue gave her feedback. "This one is excellent. It meets all specifications."
As soon as she said this, a smile broke out on Master Yang’s face.
"As long as it meets the specs, that’s all that matters. We’ll use this as the standard."
Fu Mingxue nodded. "Right. Let’s lock in this standard. Be sure to save the data."
Then she headed back to the lab.
That evening, she didn’t see Qin Wenhao when she got off work.
’Is that guy really not coming to pick me up?’
’Sure enough, habit is a scary thing.’
’He’s only picked me up two or three times, and I’m already used to it.’
’Tsk, tsk. This won’t do.’
’Still, this road is really dark. Relying on just the moonlight is pushing it.’
’So, why don’t I rig a light onto my bicycle?’
’And while I’m at it, I could install a motor—wouldn’t that make the bike faster?’
At this thought, Fu Mingxue began to pedal faster.
When she got home, she found her mom was still up.
"Mom, why are you still up? You weren’t waiting for me again, were you? By the way, where’s Qin Wenhao? He isn’t home?"
Fu Mingxue didn’t see him.
"Your husband left for another mission. It was an urgent one, so he left this afternoon. He asked me to tell you that this mission might take a while—maybe two or three months."
"Oh, that long?" ’Perfect!’
’I can finally have the bed to myself at night.’
’More importantly, I won’t have to waste any time.’
"I hope he returns safely." Mrs. Fu wished for her son-in-law’s safe return every time he went on a mission.
She didn’t want him to end up like Mingxue’s father—it was just too difficult for a woman to raise a child on her own.
"Mom, don’t worry. Qin Wenhao is very capable," Fu Mingxue said, quickly changing the subject. "By the way, I’m hungry. Is there anything to eat?"
"I’ll boil some dumplings for you!"
"Sounds good." This would give her the perfect opportunity to figure out that motor for her bicycle.
