The Space-Time Boss: 1970s Revolution

Chapter 77: Shen Xingzhou's Poisoning

The next morning.

Fu Xiao woke up early. Perhaps it was because she had gotten used to sleeping on the kang in the village, the bed in the dormitory felt uncomfortable. She only managed to get some extra sleep in the latter half of the night after entering the space.

As the sky was just starting to brighten, she got dressed and opened the door. Before her two older brothers were up, she decided to go get breakfast. She had long missed the meat buns from the state-owned restaurant.

Walking to the state-owned restaurant, she arrived just in time as the meat buns were freshly steamed. She bought ten buns, wrapped them in oilskin paper, and started heading back.

By the time she returned to the dormitory, her two brothers were already awake. They quickly came up to her. "Little sister, why did you wake up so early? Where did you go?"

Fu Xiao handed them the buns with a smile. "I woke up early today, so I went to the state-owned restaurant to buy some buns."

The three of them boiled some water and ate the buns. After chatting idly in the dormitory for a while, Fu Xiao felt so bored that she started missing home.

Looking at her two brothers, she spoke up, "Brothers, let's go home..."

Fu Yu smiled and patted her head. "What's wrong? Are you bored?"

When she nodded, he continued with a smile, "Alright, I'll go find Third Uncle and let him know. We'll head back."

The three of them tidied up the dormitory and closed the door before going to find Fu Weilin.

When they arrived at the county committee office, it was office hours, so they didn't want to disturb Fu Weilin at work. Fu Xiao and Fu Hong waited at the entrance while the eldest brother went in to inform him, and also to take his bicycle.

Fu Yu rode the bicycle steadily. Since Fu Xiao was smaller, she sat in the front, and Fu Hong in the back. It wasn't a problem for him to carry them both.

Though, sitting in the front was a bit uncomfortable.

(Who else had to sit in the front of a bicycle as a child? Raise your hand!!!)

Fu Yu came out shortly after and Fu Xiao, looking at him, asked with curiosity, "Eldest brother, why didn't you bring the bicycle?"

"Third Uncle said we should have lunch with the Shen family," he shrugged and said with a helpless expression.

"So where are we going now?"

"Do you want to visit somewhere else? If not, we can wait in Third Uncle's office."

"Will we be disturbing him?" she asked hesitantly.

Fu Yu smiled, "No, we'll just stay in the lounge."

"Alright then."

When they entered, Fu Weilin was at his desk looking over documents. He glanced up at them and said with a smile, "Go rest inside. I'll take you to eat something good at noon."

The lounge was a small room where the three siblings could clearly hear the sounds from the office.

The entire morning, the office had been bustling with activity.

At ten, Secretary Wang came and went several times, delivering and collecting documents.

At eleven, Fu Weilin was notified of a meeting.

Listening to the complete silence from the office, Fu Xiao lowered her voice and asked, "Brothers, is Third Uncle always this busy?"

Fu Yu looked at her and smiled, "This isn't even considered busy. When he's really busy, he won't even be able to stay in the office."
