While the mother and daughter were chatting, Qin Wenhuo returned.

When Fu's mother saw her son-in-law return, she was very surprised.

"Why are you back today? Were you on vacation?"

Qin Wenhuo dared not mention that he had bought two courtyard houses and reserved four apartments.

No, for someone who doesn't usually lie to his mother-in-law, he still felt some pressure.

"—Mom, I have something to take care of, so I'll come back for a visit."

Fortunately, Madam Fu wasn't the type to pry too deeply.

"You haven't eaten yet, have you? The food will be ready soon." She could ask Ding Lanqi to cook a couple more dishes in no time.

Qin Wenhuo nodded, "Okay."

Fu's mother stopped caring about the couple.

She hurried to the kitchen—

Qin Wenhuo gave his wife a look.

"Come on, let's go inside."

Fu Mingxue also wanted to ask how things were going.

So he went back to the house with Qin Wenhuo.

The door closed. "How was it?"

"The paperwork for the courtyard house has been completed. As for the commercial housing, I've talked to my friend, and he's promised to reserve four of the best units for us. I'll just go and take a look when the time comes."

Fu Mingxue's eyes lit up with joy. "That's great. You're quite efficient."

Qin Wenhuo returned the bankbook to his wife.

"I withdrew 85,000. I didn't withdraw the rest."

"You don't need to give me that; aren't there still those commercial housing units?"

"There's no rush for this money. We can pay it after we've finalized the house."

"Then you can keep this passbook for now. You can withdraw the money whenever you want." Fu Mingxue pushed the passbook back.

After all, she sometimes gets so busy with work that she might not go home for two or three days at a time.

Seeing this, Qin Wenhuo had no choice but to put the passbook away.

However, instead of keeping it on my person, I put it in the bottom of the wardrobe.

After putting it away, he then turned his attention to another matter.

"Honey, how did Hao Hao do on his exam?"

Fu Mingxue said with a smile, "Your son is very capable."

Qin Wenhuo wasn't too worried.

If you can't even reach this level, then what's the point of skipping grades?

Just learn step by step, steadily and surely.

The couple chatted for a while until they heard Fu's mother calling from outside, "Come out and eat."

"Honey, Mom's calling us. Let's go out for dinner."

The two walked out together.

Aunt Ding and Mother Fu had already served the food.

Four dishes and one soup.

The four of them sat down to eat lunch together.

For the meal, Fu Mingxue went to the school.

She arrived at the school and saw Yun Zhe and Li Zhengfei at the office door.

The two of them saw her coming.

"Professor Fu."

Fu Mingxue looked at them and asked, "Why are you waiting here?"

Li Zhengfei said, "Professor Fu, we just arrived not long ago. Assistant Song just told us to go in, but we thought we could just wait at the door for a while."

"Okay, you guys go to the lab and wait for me. I'll be there in ten minutes."

She has some things to take care of in her office.

Li Zhengfei immediately replied, "Okay, Professor Fu."

He gestured for Yun Zhe to leave with him.

They had just had a brief exchange and already know each other's names.

Fu Mingxue entered the office.

When Song Mingyue saw her arrive, she immediately stood up and said, "Professor Fu, you've come!"

Fu Mingxue looked at her, "Well, how have you been these past few days? How's the progress?"

"This is what I've compiled, Professor Fu, please take a look."

Song Mingyue handed over a lot of materials she had compiled.

Fu Mingxue took it and looked through it.

"That's pretty good, and your handwriting is also very beautiful. By the way, how's your English?"
