Chapter 1710 You Little Glutton

Seeing how excited she was, Chu Xue patted her on the shoulder and said, "If you keep delaying like this, the train won't wait for you."

Zhang Yanyan then remembered that she needed to catch a train: "Oh no, I almost forgot about my important business in my excitement."

Chu Xue glanced at her watch: "Alright, hurry up."

Even so, on the way to the train station, Zhang Yanyan kept chattering: "Chuxue, when I come back, I'll learn some first aid knowledge from you, so that if we encounter this in the future, we won't be helpless and unable to do anything."

Chu Xue thought this was a good idea: "Okay, I'll tell you all about it when I come back after the New Year."

The two arrived at the train station right on time. Chu Xue didn't go in to see her off. She took her things off her bicycle and said, "Okay, I won't go in. Be careful."

Zhang Yanyan waved to her: "I'll bring you something delicious when I get back, thanks."

Chu Xue waved to her: "Hurry up, or you'll miss the bus."

Zhang Yanyan rushed into the station carrying her things, shouting as she ran, "If I really miss it, I'll just come to your house and freeload off you for the New Year!"

This sounds like a joke, but if she really misses the train, she might not be able to go back home this year. After all, train tickets are really hard to buy these days, and there are many people queuing up in the middle of the night.

When the first snow arrived home, Aunt Wei was leading Gu Xiaomi in frying meatballs.

A few days ago, she took a lot of ingredients out of her space and brought them back under some pretext. Aunt Wei was very happy. She has been busy these past few days making meatballs, lotus root sandwiches, crispy pork, and braised two large pots of meat. Aunt Wei said that she would send some to my husband's family and my own family for the New Year to express her good wishes.

I pushed my bicycle into the yard, and the three little ones rushed over to me, calling out, "Mommy!"

Chu Xue quickly parked the car, squatted down to catch the three little ones, and kissed each of them on the forehead: "Aren't you cold? Still running around outside?"

Le Bao shook her head and said, "It's not cold, it's not cold. Grandma Wei's meatballs are so delicious." Chu Xue gently pinched her daughter's little nose: "You little glutton, you can't be greedy, or you'll get indigestion."

Le Bao nodded her little head: "Yes, that's what Grandma Wei said too. Le Bao isn't greedy."

Aunt Wei looked at the many things hanging on the handlebars of Chuxue's bicycle and said, "We have plenty of food for the New Year. We'll probably have enough to eat until the fifteenth of the first lunar month."

Chu Xue knew she had misunderstood: "I was thinking that the day after tomorrow is the second birthday of the three little ones, and I was thinking of making them a birthday cake by myself tomorrow afternoon, so I prepared some ingredients."

Aunt Wei slapped her forehead: "Your mother-in-law came over this morning and mentioned this matter as well. She said she would ask you about it when I get back."

Chu Xue laughed and said, "We can just celebrate their birthdays at home without making a big fuss. Otherwise, it wouldn't be fair to the other kids. I'll call them later and ask them to come over for lunch the day after tomorrow if they have time."

Hearing this, Aunt Wei said, "Okay, I'll cook a good meal and we'll celebrate for them at home."

No sooner had she finished speaking than she heard someone outside shout, "Comrade Xiao, you have a phone call."

They were people from the Beijing office in the courtyard just inside.

Ever since they moved here, after those people learned that she was studying at Peking University and that Fu Yancheng was a regimental-level cadre, they said that if she needed anything, she could just call them instead of going to the public phone booths further away.

Anyway, they're not using someone else's phone for free, so it's good that they can avoid having to travel as much as possible, which is convenient for them.

It was obvious without even asking that it was Fu Yancheng calling.
