Chapter 1780: How Did You Say My Lines?

~4 min read 708 words

In the following days, the triplets adapted well to the nursery.

Every morning, Liu Chuxue and Wei Wenbin took them to the nursery together, then each went to their own school.

In the afternoon, Song Sanrui and his wife would come to pick them up; sometimes the triplets would also fuss about going to school to pick up their own mother.

Every time they appeared downstairs at the teaching building, many classmates would come up to greet them; the three little ones were very popular at school.

Liu Chuxue also kept her promise: except when Fu Yan Cheng was on a mission, she returned to the family compound every week.

Sometimes the whole family went back; sometimes only she went back.

Days passed one by one, and the weather gradually grew cooler.

After completing the translation task for the newspaper office, Liu Chuxue accepted very few translation jobs from the First Machinery Bureau either.

The reason was that the three children grew far too fast; she was busy knitting sweaters and woolen trousers for them.

Good news also came from Jiang Wenyue's side: this month, the factory's order volume was terrifyingly large; to cope, the factory added another workshop and urgently hired many people.

Liu Chuxue also introduced many people to join, all of them former neighbors from Liu Xiaoyuan.

And on this day, when she arrived home, the Physician's wife said: "Liu Chuxue, your mother-in-law came by this afternoon. She said to have the whole family return tomorrow; she said she has already called Fu Yan Cheng."

Liu Chuxue frowned slightly: "Did she say what it was about?"

The Physician's wife shook her head: "She didn't say; she only said to have you all return."

Liu Chuxue turned and went out to call Fu Yan Cheng: "Did Mom call you?"

Fu Yan Cheng replied: "Yes, she called. By the way, what did she want us to return for?"

Liu Chuxue was directly speechless and looked up at the sky: "How did you say my lines?"

Hearing these words, Fu Yan Cheng burst out laughing.

People from other offices all ran over; several of them secretly hid outside and peered in through the door crack: "Who is Regiment Commander Fu on the phone with, laughing so heartily?"

"Who else could it be? I guess it's Sister-in-law; only when talking to Sister-in-law does Regiment Commander Fu act like this."

Fu Yan Cheng had long noticed the commotion outside the door; after finishing his conversation with Liu Chuxue and hanging up, he quickly rose, pulled the door open, caught those several completely off guard, and they all tumbled in in a pile.

Fu Yan Cheng looked down from above at the several people sprawled in a heap on the ground: "Are you so idle you have nothing to do? Ten laps around the playground, run!"

At once, the several people on the ground cried out in distress.

Watching them run away, Fu Yan Cheng curled the corner of his mouth into a smile: "Little brats, I can't handle you?"

Fu Yan Cheng picked up Liu Chuxue at school; thinking that their return must mean something had happened at home, he did not bring the triplets.

When they returned, the eldest couple had the same idea and also did not bring the children.

Upon seeing Fu's mother, the eldest, Fu Yanming, spoke first: "Mom, you only called us to come back but didn't say what it was about."

Fu Yan Cheng also chimed in: "Yes, Mom, what exactly did you call us back for?"

Fu's mother looked at them: "Wait until everyone arrives, then we'll speak together."

Guo Wenjing, hearing her say this, said: "Then let's go to the kitchen to cook first; we can eat and talk at the same time later."

Fu's mother, however, stopped them: "No need to bother. I stewed a large pot of vegetables, steamed mantou, and cooked millet porridge; we can eat directly later."

Now everyone felt even more uncertain; after exchanging glances, they could only sit obediently and wait for the others.

Before long, Fu's father and Fu Yanwei's couple also walked in; as soon as they stood still, Fu Yanwan and her husband also returned, and all of them looked at Fu's mother.
