Mrs. Fu stayed up late that night, tidying up the room she was staying in.
She also had the two children sleep in her room.
Fortunately, the two children were very fond of their grandmother.
Meanwhile, Fu Mingxue had the master bedroom all to herself.
That night, she thought she wouldn’t be able to sleep in the unfamiliar surroundings. But to her surprise, she fell into a deep sleep not long after her head hit the pillow.
She slept soundly all night.
She woke up bright and early the next day.
When she got up and went outside, she found that her mom had already been up for a long time. The entire courtyard had been swept spotlessly clean.
"Mom, why are you up so early? Couldn’t you sleep?"
In the morning, the faint sounds of people from the base out for their morning run drifted over.
"I’ve always been an early riser. Oh, right, I asked our neighbor, Sister Wang. The supply and marketing co-op is in town, about an hour’s walk away. It seems like today is market day, so let’s head into town to take a look in a bit."
Even though they had received quite a lot of things yesterday, the house was still missing many necessities.
"Okay. I wonder if we can catch a ride."
Just then, Mrs. Fu remembered something else important. "When do you have to report to your unit?"
"I’ll go this afternoon. This morning, I’ll go with you to the supply co-op. I have a bicycle coupon, and if they have any bikes, we can just buy one. It’ll make my commute to work more convenient."
Mrs. Fu agreed that her daughter definitely needed a bicycle. Otherwise, she’d have to walk to her unit every day.
They ended up leaving a bit late. After all, they had to wait for the two children to wake up and then feed them.
Once the children had finished eating, they picked them up and set off for town.
They were too late; their neighbor couldn’t wait that long and had already left with someone else.
Fortunately, as they were leaving the base, Yang Ming happened to be driving out. "Ma’am, are you heading to town?"
Fu Mingxue recognized him and nodded. "Yes, we’re just on our way to town to have a look."
Yang Ming said at once, "Ma’am, please, get in. I’m headed to town myself, so I can give you a ride."
Fu Mingxue was delighted; she hadn’t expected to catch a ride at all.
So, she and her mother got into the car.
