That night, the little boy’s heart broke, and his tears flowed all night long.
When he woke up the next day, Mrs. Fu was startled by his appearance.
’This kid... did he not sleep at all last night?’
"Why are you up so early?"
"Grandma—" Qin Yue’s voice was hoarse and raw.
Hearing his voice, Mrs. Fu sighed inwardly.
"If you can still sleep, go back to sleep for a bit. If you can’t, then get up with Grandma."
Qin Yue quickly got dressed.
Mrs. Fu glanced at him, then got off the bed.
"Come on, let’s go wash your face and brush your teeth."
They had a spare toothbrush at home. Her daughter had bought a bunch last time and given them to her to put away.
After all, her daughter insisted that even the twins had to start brushing their teeth when they turned two.
’If you ask me,’ she thought, ’my daughter is just fussy and loves to make things complicated—why would such a little kid need to brush their teeth?’
A boy Qin Yue’s age could handle washing up on his own.
When Mrs. Fu saw that he was done, she said to him, "Come on! Help Grandma start the fire."
As soon as she said this, Qin Yue became very eager.
The two of them went to the kitchen.
The Qin family was well-off, and with Aunt Li around, Qin Yue had never started a fire before. He’d never even been in the kitchen.
After all, his own mother, Lan Qingman, used to dote on him, believing her son shouldn’t set foot in a kitchen.
So, when Mrs. Fu taught him how to build a fire, Qin Yue took it very seriously.
He was very smart and picked it up right away.
Seeing this, Mrs. Fu praised him a few times and then started making breakfast.
Just as breakfast was almost ready, Qin Yue suddenly asked, "Grandma, can I... can I sleep here again tonight?"
He looked at Mrs. Fu, his eyes full of expectation.
Mrs. Fu was taken aback for a moment, then quickly said, "Of course you can. You can stay as long as you want."
A smile immediately appeared on Qin Yue’s face. "Grandma, can my sister and I stay here together?"
"Of course you can. You can both stay as long as you want." Mrs. Fu was a soft-hearted person by nature.
Looking at the child’s expectant gaze, how could she possibly refuse?
