Chapter 815: Returning Home to Learn the Way

~4 min read 751 words

Liu Chuxue had just stepped out of the office when she saw someone from the Security Section running toward her: "Comrade Liu Chuxue..."

Before he could finish, he remembered what the comrade at the main gate had said: "My apologies, I spoke too quickly; Comrade Xiao, your father is at the factory gate and said he came to pick you up after work."

Liu Chuxue hadn't expected them to arrive so soon; after thanking the comrade from the Security Section, she went downstairs to find Duan Ruirui, who was heading back to the dormitory: "Ruirui, I can't go to the canteen for dinner with you tonight; I need to go home."

Upon hearing this, Duan Ruirui asked: "Did they move over this quickly?"

Liu Chuxue nodded: "It seems so; once we've settled in, I'll invite you all over for a meal at our place."

Duan Ruirui, who loved food above all and had often freeloaded on the pickled vegetables Liu Chuxue brought, replied: "I'll be waiting then; you go ahead quickly."

Liu Chuxue walked a few steps, then thought of something: "Oh right, please tell my new roommate that I won't be returning to the dorm tonight, so she doesn't need to leave the door open for me."

Duan Ruirui waved at her: "Understood."

Liu Chuxue broke into a light jog all the way to the factory gate: "Dad, how long have you been here?"

This was Xiao Changsheng's first time coming to the factory to find his daughter: "I only just arrived a moment ago; your factory is truly impressive."

Liu Chuxue smiled: "Of course; our factory is a heavy industry unit, so the Security Section's staffing is definitely higher than in other units."

"By the way, when did you all arrive? Is the living quarters all sorted out?"

Hearing his daughter mention the house, Xiao Changsheng smiled: "Your grandfather has already arranged everything; we only need to organize the things we brought from the village. Since I thought you should come back to learn the way, and seeing that it's not too far from your factory—plus Yan Cheng has already prepared a bicycle for you—would you like to live at home?"

Liu Chuxue had already been thinking about moving out to live on her own: "Sure, that's exactly what I was planning; living inside the factory does feel somewhat restrictive."

Hearing his daughter agree to live at home, Xiao Changsheng began talking about their current house.

When he mentioned that they had even left a room for Du Juan, Liu Chuxue clapped her hand: "Oh no, I forgot to call for Du Juan."

But since they had already walked this far: "Never mind; I'll get familiar with the place first and then bring her over later."

As father and daughter chatted, they arrived home: "So, what do you think? This is the residence your grandfather arranged for us."

Liu Chuxue truly hadn't expected that the old man would directly arrange a standalone courtyard house for them, and moreover, this house had two more main rooms than the one in Willow Tree Village.

Hearing the noise, Liu Chunxiao ran out: "Dad, Second Sister, you're back; just in time, dinner is ready."

Thinking of something, she ran over excitedly: "Second Sister, what do you think? Isn't this house nice?"

Liu Chuxue nodded lightly: "It is indeed nice; this certainly suits your wishes, finally becoming a city dweller."

Hearing this, Liu Chunxiao retorted: "What do you mean 'finally becoming a city dweller'? I was originally a city dweller, you know."

Liu Chuxue didn't argue with her; what she said wasn't wrong: "Right, right, right, you're correct."

At that moment, Zhao Lamei also walked out from the kitchen, a smile on her face: "Wash your hands and eat."

Liu Chuxue walked over: "Mom, you've been tired all day; please sit down and rest. I can handle this myself. Oh right, I was so happy today that I forgot about Cousin Du Juan; I'll call her over later to learn the way."

Zhao Lamei handed Liu Chuxue a towel: "It's fine; once we're completely settled, there's no rush to have her come over."

Thinking of something, she pointed to the west wing room: "I've reserved a room for her in the west wing; if she ever can't leave on some day, she can just stay in that room."

Liu Chuxue deliberately asked: "I'm moving back home to live starting tomorrow; do you want to have Du Juan come live here with us as well?"
