Just as they finished breakfast and were getting ready to leave, there was a knock on the door.
Fu Mingxue went to open it.
She was a little surprised to see it was her father-in-law.
But she quickly figured out why he was here.
"Dad! Come on in!"
"I’m here to take the two kids to school," Mr. Qin said as he stepped into the courtyard.
This was actually Mr. Qin’s second time visiting.
He had to admit, this courtyard home was really nice.
Seeing Fu Mingxue’s mother, he greeted her, "Mrs. Fu! Thank you so much for looking after the two children yesterday!"
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Fu immediately replied, "Oh, it’s no trouble at all. They’re very well-behaved. You’ve come at the perfect time, actually. The two children seem to really like it here, and the twins adore their big brother and sister. So, how about we let them stay here for a while?"
Her words took not only Mr. Qin by surprise.
Even Fu Mingxue was stunned.
’When did Mom decide this? Why didn’t she give me a heads-up?’
Mr. Qin was taken aback for a moment before he spoke. "Well, that would be too much trouble for you—"
"It’s nothing, really. It’s just a matter of cooking a little extra food. Besides, they’re so well-behaved, and they can play with Keke and Hao Hao. Plus, my kang is big enough for them at night. They seem to really enjoy sleeping on it."
Mr. Qin was dumbfounded.
’Of course they like it. We don’t have a kang at home; the two of them must find it fascinating.’
’It would be fine for the children to stay here, of course, but having one person look after four kids... that’s too much of a burden to place on Mrs. Fu.’
Just then, Fu Mingxue spoke up. "Dad, since the two of them want to stay, just let them. As for school, I pass by Qin Yue’s school on my way, so I can drop him off. Someone would just need to pick them up in the afternoon."
Hearing this, Mr. Qin couldn’t help but look at his grandson.
He saw the boy looking at him with an expectant gaze.
’Clearly, this was probably the boy’s idea in the first place.’
