Chapter 1845: I

When they arrived home, Father Xiao and Chunxiao had also arrived.

Ever since Liu Chuxue had given Chunxiao a talking-to last time, Chunxiao had been much better behaved.

As soon as Shitou entered the courtyard, he shouted: "Mom, Dad, I want to go back to the residential compound with Second Sister and the others."

When Mother Xiao heard this, how could she agree: "Your Second Sister already has her hands full taking care of Le Bao and the other two; wouldn't you just be adding to the trouble if you went?"

The little guy thought of the ice sled; how could he compromise: "No, Second Sister said that as long as you agree, she’ll take me. You just agree, okay?"

As he said this, he pulled on Father Xiao’s hand, tilted his head, and said: "Dad, I want to go to Second Sister’s place, please help me plead with Mom, I beg you."

He was quite smart, knowing that Mom was the one who made the decisions.

Father Xiao couldn't bear it when he saw his son like this.

He looked up at Liu Chuxue: "Did you agree to it?"

Liu Chuxue smiled: "I only said I couldn't make the decision on this."

Father Xiao continued to ask: "If he follows you there, can you handle it?"

The little guy stared at Liu Chuxue with wide eyes, terrified that his Second Sister would say something like she couldn't handle it, and hurriedly declared: "Second Sister, don't worry, I can dress myself and eat by myself, I won't cause any trouble."

Fu Yan Cheng couldn't help but laugh when he saw his little brother-in-law’s declaration. Fearing the little guy would get angry, he quickly stopped laughing when he looked over and said: "This is what you said. Don't come crying to me when you get to the base residential compound and can't do it. If that happens, don't blame me for sending you back immediately."

Hearing his Second Brother-in-law’s words, the little guy hurriedly declared: "I can do it, I definitely won't trouble Second Sister."

Liu Chuxue patted his little head, seeing how anxious the child was, and looked at Father and Mother Xiao: "Mom, Dad, since Shitou wants to go, I’ll take him for a short stay for a few days. Mom, you can use the extra time to learn to read; there aren't many days left."

When Mother Xiao heard this, she thought it made sense. With her son at home, she really couldn't find more time to study.

Ever since she moved into the city, her aspirations had naturally risen. In order to get a relaxed position, she had been quite proactive and hardworking in her daily studies.

Speaking of which, Liu Chuxue asked casually: "By the way, how have you been doing with your studies lately?"

Mother Xiao glanced at Chunxiao, who had just returned: "I’ve almost finished the third-grade textbook."

The textbook happened to be on the table. Liu Chuxue picked it up, walked over to Mother Xiao, and pointed at the characters for her to read.

And it must be said, she had really put in the effort this time: "Alright, keep up this progress. When the time comes, I’ll help you secure a logistics position. You can be an inventory clerk; it’s easy and respectable."

She knew exactly what to say to motivate people.

When Mother Xiao heard this, she was full of confidence: "Alright, then let Shitou go with you to the base for a few days. I’ll work hard during this time, and strive not to embarrass you."

When Chunxiao heard Mother Xiao say this, she didn't know what got into her: "Mom, I have to review during this time, I don't have time to teach you."

Mother Xiao originally wanted to scold her, but thinking that she really shouldn't affect her youngest daughter’s studies: "Fine, I don't need you. It just so happens that your cousin said she’d come stay for a few days, I’ll have her teach me."

Liu Chuxue heard their conversation, glanced at Chunxiao, and didn't say anything unpleasant. She just asked: "When does Du Juan go on break?"

When Mother Xiao mentioned Du Juan, the expression on her face softened quite a bit: "She should be on break in these next few days. She said Minghua has to go on a business trip for a few days, so she’ll just come over and stay for a few days." ===== CHAPTER 1851 =====
