Chapter 1850: I'll Work Harder These Days and Strive Not to Embarrass You

By the time they arrived home, Xiao Fu and Chunxiao had also returned.

Ever since Liu Chuxue gave Chunxiao a thorough scolding last time, Chunxiao has been much more obedient.

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

Hearing this, how could Xiao Mu agree? "Your Second Sister can barely take care of Le Bao and his two siblings; if you go over there, won't you just cause trouble?"

The little fellow thought of ice sleds; how could he possibly compromise? "No, Second Sister already said that as long as you agree, she'll take me. Just say yes."

Saying this, he pulled Xiao Fu's hand, looked up, and said, "Dad, I want to go to Second Sister's place. Please help me persuade Mom. I beg you."

He was smart enough to know that his mother had the final say on this matter.

Seeing his son like this, Xiao Fu felt a bit reluctant.

He looked up at Liu Chuxue: "Did you promise him?"

Liu Chuxue smiled: "I only said that I don't have the authority to decide this."

Xiao Fu continued asking: "If he goes with you, can you manage?"

The little fellow stared wide-eyed at Liu Chuxue, afraid his Second Sister would say she couldn't manage, and quickly declared: "Second Sister, don't worry. I can dress myself and eat by myself. I won't cause trouble."

Seeing his brother-in-law's declaration, Fu Yan Cheng couldn't help but laugh first. Fearing the little brother-in-law would get angry, he quickly stopped laughing when the boy looked over and said: "These are your words. Don't let it happen that you arrive at the military family compound and can't keep your promise; if that happens, don't blame me for sending you back immediately."

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

Liu Chuxue patted his small head, seeing how anxious the child was, and looked at Xiao Fu and Xiao Mu: "Mom, Dad, since Shi Tou wants to go, I'll take him over to stay for a few days. Mom, you can spare more time to learn characters then; there aren't many days left."

Hearing this, Xiao Mu thought it over and agreed; with her son at home, she indeed couldn't spare more time to study.

Ever since entering the city, her ambition naturally rose; to secure a leisurely position, she studied very proactively every day and worked quite hard.

Speaking of this, Liu Chuxue casually asked: "By the way, how has your study been going lately?"

Xiao Mu glanced at Chunxiao, who had just returned: "The third-grade textbooks are almost finished."

A textbook happened to be on the table; Liu Chuxue picked one up, walked to Xiao Mu, and pointed at the characters for her to read.

To be honest, she had truly put in the effort this time: "Good. Maintain this progress. I'll help you secure a logistics position then; you'll be a warehouse entry-and-exit registrar. It's easy and respectable."

She naturally knew what to say to motivate people best.

Hearing this, Xiao Mu was even more full of confidence: "Alright. Then let Shi Tou go with you to the military side to stay for a few days. I'll work harder these days and strive not to embarrass you."

Hearing Xiao Mu's words, Chunxiao, for some reason, said: "Mom, I need to review these days; I have no time to teach you."

Xiao Mu originally wanted to scold her, but thinking she indeed shouldn't affect her little daughter's studies: "Alright, no need for you. Just a few days ago, your older cousin said she'd come stay for a few days; I'll have her teach me."

Hearing their conversation, Liu Chuxue glanced at Chunxiao, said nothing uncomfortable, and only asked: "When does Du Juan have her holiday?"

Mentioning Du Juan, Xiao Mu's expression softened considerably: "She should be on holiday these few days too. She said Minghua has to go on a business trip for a few days, so she'll come stay for a few days."
