Chapter 1639: Rare for You to Think So Much for Them
They had just finished tidying up when, unexpectedly, Fu's mother arrived carrying things: "You're back! Oh my, my dear grandson and granddaughter, Grandma has missed you so much."
Seeing her grandson and granddaughter had grown quite a bit, Fu's mother was overjoyed.
She handed the items in her hands to her son, rubbing her hands together and saying, "Why didn't you call ahead when you were coming back? If I had known, I could have lit the stove earlier to warm the house."
Fu Yan Cheng smiled and said, "It was a sudden decision. We thought everyone at work would be busy at the end of the year, so we didn't tell you. Who knew you would come at this time?"
Hearing "sudden decision," Fu's mother immediately grew tense: "What happened? Why was it a sudden decision?"
After carefully looking over the triplets and seeing they were fine, she finally turned her gaze to her son and daughter-in-law.
Fu Yan Cheng and Liu Chuxue exchanged a glance, then Fu Yan Cheng smiled and spoke: "Liu Chuxue's acceptance letter arrived. The people in the family compound were too enthusiastic, disrupting the triplets' schedule, so Liu Chuxue thought it best to return to the city first."
Hearing this, Fu's mother's voice trembled: "Which school accepted her?"
While speaking, Fu's mother placed her hand on her chest; in her eyes, there was joy mixed with nervousness.
Fu Yan Cheng smiled at Fu's mother: "Peking University."
At these two words, Fu's mother was so excited her lips trembled slightly: "Good, good, that's wonderful."
After calming down a bit: "Such a big matter, and you actually..."
Liu Chuxue knew what Fu's mother was about to say and quickly spoke: "Mom, it's not that we didn't want to tell you. There are many people in our family taking the exam. If I had told them earlier, they would have been under great pressure.
Anyway, we are returning for the New Year anyway; we will tell everyone then."
Fu's mother finally realized: "If I hadn't come, were you not planning to take them over before the New Year?"
Liu Chuxue hurriedly waved her hand: "That's not it. We just didn't plan to mention the acceptance letter early; we wanted to wait until everything settled down to tell them all at once."
Fu's mother didn't expect Liu Chuxue to do this; if it were anyone else, having scored so well for such a good school, they probably couldn't have held back.
She patted Liu Chuxue's hand: "It's rare for you to think so much for them."
Nevertheless, her heart was filled with great pride.
Fu's mother thought of the things she brought today: "By the way, I was going to call you tonight. You mentioned earlier that you wanted to celebrate the children's solar calendar birthday. I thought about calling to ask if you wanted to return to the city to celebrate, but I didn't expect you to come back first."
Liu Chuxue smiled: "It's too cold, and the children are too young. I didn't think about causing more trouble; I just thought we could celebrate simply with them."
Hearing her say this, Fu's mother guessed her thoughts somewhat and nodded lightly: "You are right to think so."
She immediately said: "Then tomorrow at noon, your father and I will come over. We'll have a good meal; I'll prepare the food."
Liu Chuxue didn't refuse, after all, this was her mother-in-law's kind intention.
After being affectionate with the three little ones, Fu's mother prepared to leave: "I still have work this afternoon, so I'm leaving now. I'll come back after work."
As soon as Fu's mother left, Fu Yan Cheng said: "Among the children in the family, except for Jinze from Second Brother's family, Mom has organized the first birthday celebrations for all of them. Even for Jinze, he specifically sent money over, so don't feel guilty."
Liu Chuxue wore an expression of "so that's how it is," which made Fu Yan Cheng laugh: "Don't worry. Except for the matter of Second Brother going to the countryside, Mom is very fair in everything else."
Time was limited; Fu Yan Cheng had to leave soon. He ran to the neighbor's house next door to exchange a burning coal ball, then helped tidy up the area by the hand pump before hurrying away.
