"Hey, I'll help you tidy up. Do we need to take this book with us..."

Hearing the commotion between the two people in the room, Fu Xiao smiled and shook her head.

She stood up, walked to her room, picked up the already packed bundle, and stepped out.

Mu Lianshen took the bundle and headed outside. "I'll go start the car first. You can come over later. It's just at the end of the alley."

Fu Xiao nodded.

She checked every room once more to make sure all the windows were securely closed.

Calling out to Fu Hong's room, she said, "Third Brother, don't forget to close the windows..."

Hearing a response from inside the room, she then turned and walked towards the storage room, which was stocked with a lot of firewood.

These were delivered by Mu Lianshen, along with some other miscellaneous items.

She closed the door but didn't lock it, as there were no important items inside.

The surrounding wall had been reinforced and was very secure.

During her last visit, Mu Lianshen had put a ring of glass shards on top of the wall. The sharp glass was pointed upwards, providing a reassuring sense of security.

Moreover, this place was a staff dormitory, and most of the residents were school staff.

They were a cultured group of people, and living here for so long, they had a good rapport with their neighbors.

They hadn't encountered much petty theft.

After taking another look around the house, Fu Hong and Fu Sui came out of their rooms.

The group left through the front gate, and Fu Xiao locked it behind them.

They walked to the alley where Mu Lianshen was waiting. The group got into the car. As Fu Xiao fastened her seatbelt in the passenger seat, Mu Lianshen gently pressed the gas pedal.

The roads in the county were relatively good, and the car moved quickly.

Once they were out of the county and headed towards the village, the road conditions worsened, and the car slowed down.

When they arrived at Dazhang Village, it was mealtime, and there weren't many people around.

The car stopped right in front of the Fu family home.

Fu Xiao got out of the car with her bundle and pushed open the door.

Grandfather Fu in the front yard looked surprised for a moment, then smiled and said, "Xiao Xiao, I thought you wouldn't be back until tomorrow. Why are you back so early..."

"It's just in time for dinner. Your aunt just finished cleaning the pot..."

Fu Xiao stepped forward and hooked her arm around his, smiling warmly. "Grandpa, I didn't come back alone,"

"I know, it's also Fu Hong... Your eldest brother and your third uncle went to the city, to that meeting, so many things to take care of..."

At this moment, Fu Sui walked in with a loud voice, "Dear Grandpa, did you miss me..."

Grandpa Fu's smile faltered for a moment at the question, but then he returned to a playful smile, "You rascal, when did you come back?"

"You came back by yourself? Where is Xiao Yu?"

The telegrams had been sent directly to Fu Xiao, so Grandpa Fu hadn't known in advance about their return.

Now, he was both surprised and pleased.
