Reborn in the 1980s, remarried and followed a soldier, the ungrateful wretch cried with regret.

Chapter 321 I Might Not Have Time

“My mother is in good health. She originally wanted to come back to Beijing with us this time, but it’s so hot, and the train journey will take three days. The children are too young, and we can’t let them suffer too much, so she’s not coming back.”

"If we have time during the Chinese New Year holiday, we'll come back together."

The "we" she mentioned did not include Qin Wenhuo.

After all, who knows if Qin Wenhuo will go on a mission?

Of course, her own work hours are uncertain, and if she's busy at the time, she won't be able to come back.

But Qin's mother was very happy to hear this.

"Happy Chinese New Year! By the way, your older brother and Gao Lan are getting married at the end of the month. Do you have time to come over?"

Just as Fu Mingxue was about to speak, Qin Wenhuo spoke first, saying very stiffly, "No time."

Fu Mingxue: ...?
Couldn't he have been a little more tactful? This tone—it might make people think he's very unhappy about the marriage.

"Mom, I'm sorry, after I go back home for the holidays, the factory will be entering a new project phase, which is very important and will be very busy. I probably won't be able to find time to come back."

Just as Qin's mother was about to say it was okay, Qin's father spoke up: "Your work is the most important thing."

Qin's mother: ...?
It made her seem like she was so immature.

"Mingxue, your work is the most important thing. If you can't come, that's okay."

Qin Wenze also spoke up: "Sister-in-law, you just go about your work. Our banquet is just a family meal. It's the same as having you here today."

Gao Lan nodded hurriedly, "We have no problem, your work is the most important thing."

Just then, Aunt Li came over.

She addressed the crowd, saying, "Dinner is ready!"

Qin's mother immediately took Fu Mingxue's hand and said, "Come on, let's go eat first."

Fu Mingxue then got up.

Then she noticed something, "Mom, where are the two children?"

"The older one went to the Children's Palace, and the younger one went to kindergarten. They won't be back until the afternoon."

The whole family is quite complete.

The table was piled high with lunch. Gao Lan's family was not well-off.

So when she saw the table full of twelve dishes, she was extremely shocked—her family had never been able to eat so well during the Chinese New Year.

The Qin family's conditions are just too good!

She secretly vowed to herself—she would never be as ungrateful and reckless as Qin Wenze's ex-wife, coming from such a good family.

On the contrary, she is a very easily satisfied person.

She will definitely treat the two children well and be a good stepmother.

Of course, she also hopes to have one or two more children.

She loves children.

Qin's mother served food to Fu Mingxue, saying, "Mingxue, eat this braised pork knuckle. It's especially tender. Aunt Li is the best at making this."

Fu Mingxue nodded, "Okay, Mom, I can do it myself."

Qin's mother looked at Gao Lan and said, "You should eat some too, this is good."

Gao Lan nodded immediately, "Damn it—Mom!"

However, Qin Wenze had already put it on her plate.

Fu Mingxue glanced at him and noticed that Qin Wenhuo's attitude towards his wife seemed different this time.

After the meal, Fu Mingxue was completely full.

She said with a smile, "Aunt Li's cooking skills are getting better and better!"

Aunt Li was naturally delighted to hear this, "I'll copy down the recipe, you can take it with you in a bit."

"Thank you so much, Aunt Li. I'll have my mom look into it later."

Qin Wenhuo, who was standing to the side, took out paper and pen from his pocket. "I brought paper with me. Aunt Li, you can talk to me!"

His expression was very serious.

Aunt Li immediately reported the recipe—
