Chapter 491 Call
Upon hearing this, Qin's mother was quite tempted.

However, with so many things to do at home and two elderly people to take care of, there's still a lot to do.

Just as she was hesitating, Old Mrs. Qin made the decision for her, "Shulan, you go, and have Mingxue take lots of pictures so this old woman can see them too."

If it weren't for her leg problems, she would have wanted to go too.

Upon hearing this, Qin's mother immediately nodded, "Alright then. Let's go together."

Fu Mingxue immediately said, "I'll come at 7:30 tomorrow morning. Let's go together."

Qin's mother nodded, "Okay."

Qin Yue and his sister, who were listening nearby, were also very happy.

Come to think of it, they live in Beijing, but they've never been to the Forbidden City before!

After Fu Mingxue finalized the decision, she did not stay at the Qin family's house for long.

Just as she was about to leave, the phone in the living room rang.

Qin's father was close to the phone, so he picked it up without hesitation.

"Which one?"

"Dad, it's me, Wenhuo." Qin Wenhuo's voice came from the other end of the phone line.

Upon hearing his youngest son's voice, Qin's father raised an eyebrow. "Your call came at just the right time; your wife happens to be here."

Qin Wenhuo was overjoyed to hear that his wife was also there.

He immediately said, "Dad, quickly give the phone to Mingxue so I can say a few words to her."

Qin's father: ...?
Don't they, father and son, like to talk?

Even though that's what he thought, he still called out to his daughter-in-law who was about to leave.

"Mingxue, Wenhuo is on the phone."

Fu Mingxue walked over, took the phone from her, and before she could even speak...

Then Qin Wenhuo's voice came, "Wife, it's me, Wenhuo."

Fu Mingxue: ...?
Isn't that a redundant statement?

Her father-in-law has already said it, how could she not know it's him?

"what's up?"

Upon hearing those three words, Qin Wenhuo's smile vanished instantly.

"Honey, can I only call you when I need something?"

Fu Mingxue remained silent.

This is a long-distance call! And it must be a call from the military, right?

Besides, her whole family is here.

Everyone was looking at her now.

"Are you busy over there?"

"It's alright, nothing serious. Are you very busy over there?"

"Okay. But I have tomorrow off, so I'll take Mom and the others out for a stroll."

"That's good. You haven't had a proper rest in a long time, you really should take a break."

"Is there anything else?" Fu Mingxue felt that such trivial matters couldn't be discussed over the phone!

"Nothing else, I just missed you!" Fortunately, he knew how to save face, and he spoke the last part very softly.

Fu Mingxue also heard this, and her face inexplicably turned red.

He coughed lightly, slightly easing his discomfort.

"How's your annual leave going? Are you on vacation?"

"That's what I was talking about too. There's a training camp coming up, so I probably won't have time to call you. It won't be possible this time during the Spring Festival. However, I'll be back in Beijing on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, and I'll be able to pick you all up then."

That way, he can feel a little more at ease.

"Okay. Be careful then. If there's nothing else, I'll give the phone to Dad, you two can talk—"

When Fu Mingxue handed the phone to Qin's father.

Just as Qin's father was about to say something, he heard a dial tone on the other end.

His face darkened.

This brat.

Fu Mingxue said goodbye to the Qin family and then rode her bicycle back home.

When Fu's mother saw her return.

He then asked, "How is your sister-in-law?"

"The recovery is going quite well." No further details were given.

There's no need to mention the fact that Gao Lan's biological mother was going to take care of her.

After all, this is a family matter.
