Lin Chuchu has been quite busy lately and is starting to miss home.

When Lin Chuchu arrived home in the afternoon, she was somewhat surprised to find no one there.

What about Grandma and the two children?

The neighbor next door poked their head out and saw Lin Chuchu standing there in a daze. Lin Chuchu smiled and said...

"Chuchu is back from her business trip. Your grandma went to pick up the two kids from school."

“A new kindergarten has opened nearby, specifically for children whose families have no one to look after them.”

“After your parents did some research, they also sent both children there.”

Lin Chuchu had never heard of this before. They weren't allowed to make phone calls from there, and it had been quite a while since she last tried to contact them.

She found out the kindergarten's address and figured it shouldn't be time for school to let out yet, so Lin Chuchu decided to go check on it.

She greeted the neighbors along the way and soon arrived at the kindergarten, where she quickly found her maternal grandmother and father.

"Grandma, Dad, why did you both come to pick up the child together?"

Hearing Lin Chuchu's voice, she looked up in surprise.

"Chuchu, you're back! When did you get home?"

Grandma pulled Lin Chuchu aside and asked in a low voice.

Lin Chuchu replied, "I just arrived. I heard from my neighbor that you were here, so I came to check it out."

"You're back this time to take an exam, right?"

"Yeah, I have to go back after the exam."

Soon, kindergarten let out, and a group of children walked out of the kindergarten hand in hand.

Parents pushed forward, all wanting to be the first to see their child.

Lin Chuchu and the other two did not follow along to join the fun.

Grandma said that the two children are very resourceful and she can find them on her own.

"Great-grandmother, grandfather..."

The two little ones saw people and ran and shouted.

Grandma was afraid they would fall, so she quickly bent down to pick up the two children.

"You two slow down, run carefully, don't fall."

Lin Chuchu originally wanted to tease the two children, but Xiao Bao, who had sharp eyes, spotted her.

Dodging her great-grandmother, Lin Chuchu ran straight to her mother and hugged the two little firecrackers.

"Mom, you're back."

"Mom, I miss you so much."

The two children looked exactly alike and were both good-looking, instantly attracting everyone's attention as a family of three.

Even the two teachers looked at Lin Chuchu with curiosity.

Xiao Bao grabbed Lin Chuchu's hand and pulled her in front of the two teachers.

"Teacher, teacher, this is my mom. She came to pick me up today."

The lively little boy happily introduced his mother to the teacher.

Da Bao was much quieter, but still held Lin Chu Chu's hand tightly.

The teacher gently stroked Xiaobao's nose.

He then stood up and greeted Lin Chuchu, "Hello, you must be Da Bao and Xiao Bao's mother? I've heard Xiao Bao mention you all the time."

This person is named Lin Chuchu. She learned about Lin Chuchu's name by chance. She heard that Lin Chuchu is very busy with her work, is a translator, and is currently working in a research lab.

As for the two men's father, she had heard of him, but didn't comment much.

Lin Chuchu smiled and shook hands with the two teachers, expressing her gratitude for their care of the two children.

The two little ones proudly held their heads high, and would even pull Lin Chuchu aside to show off when they met their classmates.

They used to envy others who had their parents pick them up, but now they can make others envious too, because their mothers are prettier than other mothers.

After chatting for a while and learning that the two children were very well-behaved, Lin Chuchu took the children's hands and walked back.

"Oh, I thought someone had caused such a commotion at the school gate. Lin Chuchu, you should keep a low profile, after all, your family..."

Aunt Wang, who had always disliked the Mu family, said in a sarcastic tone.

Lin Chuchu smiled and looked at the other person, "I can't show off like you. You've started driving a minivan? You're using a minivan to pick you up for such a short distance. Looks like you're really making money."

At this time, the wealthier a family is, the more likely it is to attract envy from others.

Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, everyone around looked at Aunt Wang with envy and jealousy.

Some of them, Aunt Wang's family still owes money to.

Aunt Wang's face was grim. Her son, who was acting as the driver in the car, had a gloomy look in his eyes and said with a smile.

"Unlike Comrade Lin's family, who own a clothing store and have a van to make a living, they have the airs of capitalists. Unlike us, we have to borrow money from all over the place to buy a van, and we're lucky if we can barely make ends meet."

Lin Chuchu laughed, "Now that individual businesses are allowed, we're not capitalists. Besides, our shops still have to pay taxes, and the costs are high. We can barely make a meager living all year round."

With just a few words, the conversation was diverted, and the crowd stopped dwelling on the business dealings between the two companies.

If they vehemently deny having money, no one can ask the bank, right?

After saying goodbye to everyone, the family headed back home. Grandma went to buy groceries, Mr. Mu went to the store to help out, and Lin Chuchu stayed home with the two children.

The two little ones hadn't seen Lin Chuchu in a long time, and they were always clinging to her, wanting her to play with them.

She can only stay at home for seven days. After the exam, she has to rush back after seven days. This time, she really doesn't know when she can come back, not even for the Chinese New Year.

In the evening, after dinner, Lin Chuchu and Mu's mother chatted about the shop.

Two more clothing stores have opened in Beijing, which has had some impact on my family's shop, but not a significant one.

After all, seizing the initiative allows you to accumulate connections and capital before them.

The more garments ordered from the garment factory each time, the cheaper it is, giving them a natural advantage compared to other individual customers.

Mu's mother also participated in the exhibition this year, helping the garment factory secure a large number of orders. The garment factory attaches great importance to its cooperation with the Mu family.
