Chapter 736 Reciprocity

Wang Xiang was very happy. "We're all neighbors, there's no need to thank me. You can eat while it's hot, I'll go back now."

"Okay." As soon as she left, Madam Fu divided the noodles into four bowls.

Then she said to Qin Wenhuo, "I'll send her some more things back later."

Qin Wenhuo nodded, "Mom, you can handle these things. By the way, I won't be home this afternoon, so please keep an eye on things around the house."

"You just do your thing, I'll take care of things at home, don't worry about anything. By the way, when will the package we sent arrive?"

Qin Wenhuo thought for a moment, "It should arrive the day after tomorrow. If I'm still there then, I'll go get it myself. If I'm not, I'll arrange for someone to go and get it."

Mrs. Fu nodded, "That's fine too."

It wasn't that she didn't want to pick it up herself, but the package they sent was quite large, and it couldn't be retrieved without a car.

Qin Wenhuo left in a hurry after finishing his meal.

Seeing how clean the whole house was, Mrs. Fu was extremely satisfied with her son-in-law.

Her own room wasn't tidied up, but it wasn't difficult; she could clean it up quickly.

The two children were supposed to take a nap, but after finishing their meal, they started to feel sleepy not long after.

Fortunately, Madam Fu had cleaned up her room, and the kang (heated brick bed) in the room was already warm.

Let the two children take a nap.

She then began to sort through the packages she had brought.

She brought along cured meat and sausages.

They also brought a small amount of rice and flour, as well as some pickled vegetables and dried vegetables.

First, she took out some candy and distributed it to the people who were sitting outside chatting.

Then, after washing the bowl that Wang Xiang had previously used to hold noodles, he filled it with some sugar and some dried vegetables.

They carried the basin back to it.

"Young lady, these are for the kids to sweeten their mouths, and this bag of dried vegetables is something I dried myself. They're really good; they'd be great for noodles or stewed meat."

She gave Wang Xiang about half a jin of grain and fruit, which was quite a lot. After all, not only were they neighbors, but they also had the best relationship in the entire residential compound.

"There's way too much candy—"

Wang Xiang felt embarrassed to take it.

This candy looks much better than what's sold at the supply and marketing cooperative, and they brought so much of it.

"Not much, just this much, just a treat for the kids. Okay, I have some work to do, so I'll head back now."

Upon hearing this, Wang Xiang quickly expressed her gratitude.

Although her son-in-law had cleaned the house, for Fu's mother, who couldn't stay idle, there was still plenty of work to be done.

The clothes you take off need to be washed.

She had to wash many of the dishes and utensils in the kitchen again.

They were so busy that it was almost dark by the time they got to work.

Qin Wenhuo also returned at this time carrying a lot of vegetables.

"Mom, I brought back some vegetables and a fish. Let's have dinner tonight!"

Upon hearing this, Madam Fu hurriedly came out, "Where did you get such a big fish?"

"They allocated a portion from the cafeteria. So did they allocate these meats and vegetables."

Mrs. Fu was delighted. "Then we'll stew a big fish for dinner tonight. I just cooked some rice."

"Okay!" Qin Wenhuo put the other dishes in the kitchen, and then carried the big fish to the well to kill it.

The two little ones weren't afraid of blood at all; they squatted to the side watching their father kill the fish.
Fu Mingxue calculated the days and figured that Qin Wenhuo and the others should have arrived at the compound by now.

As expected, Qin Wenhuo called their research institute that evening.

"Wife, it's me, we've arrived."
