The three of them squeezed onto the train.
They were all in the same car.
"This is nice." Mrs. Fu was very satisfied with the sleeper bunk.
She felt very safe.
"Mom, you sit here. If you want to sleep, just lie down."
"Alright."
It was Mrs. Fu’s first time on a train, and she found it quite novel.
...
The three-day, three-night train ride left Mrs. Fu completely exhausted.
When the train pulled into the station, she grew nervous.
"Mom, let’s get off quickly!"
The mother and daughter each carried two packages.
Qin Wenhao, meanwhile, carried three on his back.
Thankfully, they had mailed most of their luggage ahead. Otherwise, they really wouldn’t have been able to carry it all.
"Mom, someone will be here to pick us up when we exit the station. My grandpa knows our train number and has already sent someone to wait at the exit."
"This is too much trouble for your family."
Mrs. Fu subconsciously smoothed out her clothes.
However, the crowd pushing to get off the train was still huge.
They nearly knocked one of Mrs. Fu’s shoes off.
The moment the three of them stepped out of the station exit, someone came up to greet them. "Brother Wenhao."
It was Qin Wenhao’s cousin.
He saw Fu Mingxue and her mother and immediately guessed who they were, calling out at once, "Hello, Auntie! Hello, Sister-in-law!"
His voice was so loud it made Mrs. Fu jump. "H-Hello—"
Fu Mingxue froze. ’...Why does that sound so strange?’
"Mom, this is my cousin, Qin Wenshu. He’s a bit boisterous."
Mrs. Fu immediately said, "That’s wonderful!"
Qin Wenhao said, "Let’s get in the car first."
"Brother Wenhuo, the car’s right over there. Let’s go." Qin Wenshu was the first to run over and open the car door.
The group walked over. Fu Mingxue helped her mom into the car first, then got in herself.
After the car started moving, Fu Mingxue finally spoke up. "Qin Wenhao, can we go to my place first?"
The moment she said this, Mrs. Fu immediately added, "That’s right, let’s go home first and drop these things off. Then we can go meet your family."
’I’m so disheveled and smelly right now. How can I possibly meet his family like this?’
’It’s embarrassing just thinking about it.’
At that moment, she felt that it was a really good thing her daughter had bought this house.
The mother and daughter’s words took the two men in the front seat by surprise.
Qin Wenhao, in particular, was momentarily stunned. He turned his head to look at the two in the back seat. "Mom, what’s the address of this house?"
How would Mrs. Fu know?
Fu Mingxue immediately reeled off the address.
Qin Wenhao was stunned.
’That seems to be not too far from my family’s home.’
Qin Wenshu was also flabbergasted. That address was for a courtyard house—he never expected his cousin-in-law to actually have a home in Beijing City.
"I know this address."
But if they were going to go there—he glanced at his cousin. The family was waiting for them.
Qin Wenhao spoke up, "Then let’s take them there first."
"—Alright!"
"Take us there first. You can go home afterward and tell them we’ll be over a little later."
"Got it."
The drive took about forty minutes.
"This is the place, right?"
"Yes." Fu Mingxue had already recited the address so many times she knew it by heart.
Seeing her confirmation, Qin Wenhao opened his door and got out of the car.
He took out all the packages.
Fu Mingxue, for her part, took out a key and opened the main gate to the courtyard house.
As for Mrs. Fu, from the moment she got out of the car and saw the house—her head was spinning.
’Good heavens, did my Mingxue really buy such a huge house all by herself?’
"Brother Wenhuo, I’ll head back and let the family know."
Fu Mingxue spoke before Qin Wenhao could. "Qin Wenhao, you should head back too. We won’t be coming over today. My mom and I will visit your family tomorrow."
Hearing her daughter’s words, Mrs. Fu quickly chimed in, "That’s right. We’ll pay a formal visit tomorrow."
