Reborn in the 80s and Remarrying an Officer, Let the Ungrateful Cry!

Fu Mingxue lightly patted her cheeks to wake herself up completely.

Then, she got dressed and out of bed.

When she came out, she found that all four children were already up.

Upon seeing her, the four kids greeted her one by one:

”Good morning, Auntie!”

”Good morning, Mama!”

The twin girl ran over to her, reaching out her arms for a hug.

Fu Mingxue bent down and scooped the little one up.

She was about to give her a kiss when she remembered she hadn’t washed up yet.

She immediately put the little girl down. ”Mama’s going to go brush her teeth and wash her face first.”

”Mama, I’ll squeeze the toothpaste for you.”

Fu Mingxue was taken aback by little Qin Hao’s words.

’I get this kind of treatment now?’

’When did this kid get so considerate? He even knows to squeeze toothpaste for me?’

Just then, she watched as the little guy, with great, clumsy effort, squeezed out a huge glob of toothpaste—which then fell onto the floor.

Was she supposed to feel touched by this gesture?

Or was she?

Honestly, she didn’t really need this display of filial piety. She was perfectly capable of doing it herself.

”Great job, really!” she said, forcing a compliment.

The little one’s face flushed red, clearly very pleased with himself.

”There you go, Mama.”

Just then, Mrs. Fu came out. ”Last night, they were listening to a story from Yu Yu. I think it was something about saving a mother—”

Fu Mingxue: ...?

’No wonder!’

She looked over at Qin Yue.

Qin Yue shyly lowered his head.

”Yu Yu, you’re amazing! Keep telling them stories tonight. Oh, right, I’ll get you the homework I made for you in a bit.”

Mrs. Fu: ...?

’Here she goes, making trouble again.’

’Qin Yue already has his own homework, and you just have to give him more.’

Fu Mingxue quickly finished washing up.

At breakfast, the whole family sat down to eat together.

After Mrs. Fu finished setting the table for everyone, she looked at her own carefree daughter. ”You came back so late last night, and you’re leaving so early today. Are you sure you have the energy for this?”

”Mom, don’t you worry. I’ve got tons of energy! I’m young, after all. My body can take it. Besides, with all the nourishing food you cook for me all day, there’d be something wrong with me if I *wasn’t* full of energy.”

Mrs. Fu: ...?

”Just eat your food.”

’I don’t want to hear another word from her.’

Not long after the family finished breakfast, there was a KNOCK on the door.

Mrs. Fu was just about to get up and open it when Qin Yue beat her to it.

”Grandma, I’ll get it.”

He ran to open the door and, just as he expected, saw his grandfather.

”Grandpa!”

Mr. Qin nodded and walked inside.

Seeing it was her father-in-law, Fu Mingxue immediately greeted him. ”Dad.”

Mr. Qin acknowledged her and then greeted Mrs. Fu.

Mrs. Fu returned the greeting, then said to the two children, ”You’re all ready. Go on now!”

”Goodbye, Grandma! Goodbye, Auntie!”

After saying goodbye to Mrs. Fu and Fu Mingxue, the two children left with their grandfather.

The twins watched with envy as their older brother and sister left for school with their backpacks.

”Mama, my brother and I want to go to school too!”

Fu Mingxue looked at her, then shifted her gaze to the other twin. She saw that both little ones had faces full of longing.

’Tsk. Kids are so naive at this age.’

’Once they actually go to school, they probably won’t even want to last a single day.’

”You’re both still too little. I’ll send you to school next year, once you’ve learned five thousand characters.”

At their age, the twins had no idea just how big a number ”five thousand” was.

After all, they could only count to one hundred.

Still, they were overjoyed just hearing that they could go to school.

Mrs. Fu looked at them, then back at her own daughter. ’What a menace.’
