Chapter 1062: Chapter 1062: Falling Flowers Have Intentions 1

The telegram contained just two words, "Return immediately!"

Seeing these words, Feng Qingxue’s heart skipped a beat, "Could there be an emergency mission?"

If it weren’t for an urgent mission, the military wouldn’t send a priority telegram and wouldn’t have Lu Jiang return to his unit immediately while his family leave was not yet over, so Feng Qingxue had a good idea.

Lu Jiang thanked the postal worker and helped her walk back into the courtyard.

"I’ll pack my things right now and head for Huaibei City immediately. I remember there’s an express train to Jinling tonight, and by taking it, I can get to Jinling by tomorrow morning and then catch a plane back. Although I don’t know what’s happened with the unit, I must try to shorten the travel time as much as possible."

"What about me and the kids? You go back first? We follow later?"

"Yes," Lu Jiang confirmed as he supported her into the house without a moment’s hesitation, having made up his mind decisively, "We’ve only just come back a few days, and you haven’t fully recovered. Rest well at home, and when the three-month period is over, take the train back since it’s steadier. You can’t take care of two kids on your own, especially with another on the way, so when the time comes, have dad or Acheng escort you back to the unit. It’ll be easier to take care of Xibao on the road."

Everyone in the house heard Lu Jiang’s words, and Xibao suddenly bounced up.

"Daddy, are you leaving? Take me with you. I’ll help you fight the bad guys!" Xibao said, puffing out his chest and standing upright, full of spirit.

"The bad guys were driven back to their island years ago; Daddy doesn’t need your help to fight them. What I do need is for you to take care of Mom and your sister at home while I’m away," Lu Jiang replied, patting his bald head, "When Daddy isn’t home, you need to make sure Mom eats more, sleeps more, and works less. You and your brothers will take care of the housework."

Xibao blinked his large eyes, perplexed, "Daddy, are you telling Mom to be a lazy bug?"

Lu Jiang smiled, "Yes! But Xibao can’t be a lazy bug; you have to get up early every day to go jogging with your brother, come back to take care of Mom, and look after your sister. No bullying your sister."

Xibao clenched his fists and his eyes swiveled around.

Feng Qingxue knew Lu Jiang’s heart was with the unit, "Quit dawdling, go inside and pack your bags. Take what you need. Xiaoyun, check the cupboard, wrap up anything that can be used as dry food in gauze, and take it with you for your brother-in-law later."

"Got it, Sister. I’m on it!"

Clothes, socks, bulletproof vests, as well as some medical supplies in the space, some processed, some not, Feng Qingxue packed them for him away from the family, one by one, into his luggage.

"We’re left with hardly any medicine that can be used on the battlefield. I’ll leave a few for emergency use, and the rest will go with you. I don’t know what kind of mission it is this time, or how dangerous it might be, but, Ajiang, I’m asking you to protect yourself as much as possible, for me and for the children, okay?"

"Alright!" Lu Jiang agreed without hesitation, "I’m looking forward to finding out whether our third child will be a boy or a girl."

Remembering the prediction the one-eyed man had made about them, Feng Qingxue couldn’t help but smile softly, "Do you think I am a sow? The two we have now are already enough to handle. If we had three more, wouldn’t I be exhausted? That Master Dan is really something."

"If you’re a sow, then I’m a boar, and we’ll have a litter of piglets."

Lu Jiang’s words eased the sorrow of parting, but they couldn’t change the fact that he was leaving.

After he had packed his luggage, he bid farewell to his family and rode off on his bicycle from Wanglou Brigade, not looking back even once. He only mentioned before leaving that he would park the bicycle at Cheng Baoguo’s house and have Guan Cheng ride it back another day.
