Chapter 1010: Chapter 1010: Ironclad Frog 2

"Lu Xibao!"

Although Lu Jiang reveled in affection with his daughter, he always kept an eye on his wife.

He yelled loudly, holding his daughter with one hand and grabbing Xibao’s collar with the other to stop his charge.

"Daddy, why are you grabbing my shirt? I miss Mommy!" Xibao struggled and glared at his father with dissatisfaction, his face full of accusation, "You have a sister who misses you, don’t I get to miss Mommy? You’re so mean!"

"You cannot bump into Mommy!" Lu Jiang said sternly, uncaring about the little brat’s reasoning.

"What do you mean I can’t bump? Daddy, even though I am big, I am much shorter than Mommy. I won’t bump into her—I’m not a bad kid." Xibao’s eyes roamed before he suddenly clapped his hands and shouted, "Ah! Does Mommy have a baby? Am I going to be a big brother again? When my cousin had a baby, Uncle wouldn’t let Goudan bump into her!"

Aside from the children who didn’t understand squat, everyone’s gaze converged on Feng Qingxue’s belly.

The weather was hot and the clothes light, but Feng Qingxue wore loose cotton and linen attire that didn’t reveal anything significant.

"Big sister? Really?" Feng Qingyun was the first to speak, hesitant to ask.

Even though Xibao spoke without a filter, it was clear that his brother-in-law’s caution wasn’t without reason.

Feng Qingxue smiled slightly, nodding at her and said, "Are you pregnant, cousin? That truly is great news."

"It’s not strange that my cousin is pregnant; it’s her third child, probably due around the end of the year. My elder uncle and auntie are almost worried to death because every time my cousin is pregnant and in confinement, she eats a lot of delicious food. By the end of the year when she gives birth, elder uncle and auntie will surely have to send my cousin the meat and fish allocated to their family, so she won’t be starved of breast milk and leave the baby hungry."

Feng Qingyun finished speaking with a laugh, looking at her sister with concern. If she weren’t holding a paper box, she would have gone over to help her, "Big sister being pregnant truly is joyful news, I’m going to have another little nephew or niece."

Kin, blood kin.

As she grew older and more sensible, Feng Qingyun became increasingly grateful for her sister’s unwavering support.

Without her big sister, she wouldn’t exist.

Although she was currently staying at her elder uncle’s house, it was still her sister whom she owed her greatest thanks.

"It’s just that this child was unexpected, and the pregnancy isn’t stable, which is why I’ve delayed my return," Feng Qingxue explained the reason for postponing her return, took away Lu Jiang’s hand from Xibao’s collar, and placed both hands on his shoulders, speaking softly, "Xibao is so smart. You’re going to be a big brother again. From now on, you are the big brother, Fubao is the big sister. Are you happy?"

"Happy!" Xibao nodded his head rapidly.

Fubao also cried out joyfully, clapping her hands, "That’s wonderful, I’m going to be a big sister!"

She slid swiftly out of Lu Jiang’s arms and ran to Feng Qingxue, used her bottom to nudge her brother aside, looked up with her fair, plump cheeks, her eyes sparkling, "Mommy, is it a little brother or little sister?"

Feng Qingxue straightened her slightly crooked straw hat, "Which would you prefer, a brother or sister?"

Fubao tilted her head, nibbling on her finger.

"Of course, a brother! Sisters aren’t fun, they never want to go out with me," Xibao interjected. "I can take my brother to play, climb trees to pick elm seeds, pick locust flowers, ride horses, herd sheep, roll hoops and play with gyroscopes and tin frogs!"

"I don’t want to go out with you. I want to be a pretty little lady," Fubao said, dissatisfied.

Xibao made a face at her, "Vain! Silly clown!"
