Chapter 1127: Chapter 1126: Midnight Snack 4

Feng Qingyun giggled, lowering her gaze to her sister’s swollen belly, "When is my brother-in-law coming back? Can he make it for the National Day? We’ve been back for more than two months now, and Xibao and Fubao still haven’t had a chance to see their dad."

She was really worried now.

Her sister was heavily pregnant, and with Xibao and Fubao being so young, there was no one at home to take care of them.

Feng Qingxue spoke calmly, "I’ve already said it’s confidential, so how would I know when he will return? All we can do is wait. Marrying a soldier means being prepared for the times he is not at home. It seems the situation this time is indeed very serious; otherwise, he wouldn’t have personally led so many troops away from the base, and been gone for such a long time."

What kind of mess had Hen Xiangqian gotten into? Those who didn’t know were left wondering, and those who did know were vague in their explanations.

If it weren’t for the fact that Feng Qingxue hadn’t seen Hen Xiangqian since she returned to the military base, she would have asked him in person. Unfortunately, the formidable Commander Hen had not shown himself before her eyes at all, including during meals at the cafeteria.

Pregnant Feng Qingxue was already exhausted from caring for the children, and she mostly took her meals at the cafeteria.

Only when Qingyun was off duty and came home would she help Feng Qingxue cook a good meal for the family.

Of course, she would sneakily eat nutritious supplements and various fruits and delicacies behind the kids’ backs.

And now, she had woken up hungry in the middle of the night.

She reached for the flashlight on the pillow, turned it on, then lit a candle on the bed table.

Although they now had electricity, she was afraid that turning on the light might wake the sleeping children.

She got off the bed to pee first, then washed her hands before getting back into bed. Spreading her swollen legs apart and with her round belly protruding, Feng Qingxue sat inelegantly at the bed table and took out a roast chicken from her space, tearing off a big drumstick to gnaw on.

She had been feeling hungry lately and had a huge appetite, especially craving meat; without it, she felt uncomfortable.

Luckily she had a space with a good stock of meat; otherwise, life would have been difficult.

Just as she was enjoying her feast, the curtain on the door was suddenly lifted. Her heart skipped a beat, and she looked up abruptly to have Lu Jiang gaze upon her greasy face, her mouth bulging with the meat torn from the chicken leg.

Lu Jiang was stunned. "Wife, haven’t you gone to sleep?"

Normally, by this time, his wife and child would have been deep asleep.

Feng Qingxue chewed noisily a few times to swallow the chunk of chicken in her mouth and wiped the grease from the corner of her lips with the back of her hand, accusing, "Why have you come back in the middle of the night without any notice? You almost choked me!"

Lu Jiang replied helplessly, "I rushed home as soon as I got back to the base, there was no time for a notice."

He was disheveled from the journey, his clothes so filthy they had lost their original color, and he didn’t embrace his wife as usual. Instead, he took off his equipment, shed his dirty clothes, dragged over the tub from the corner, and was just about to ask his wife to help draw some warm spring water for his bath when his eyes were captured by the sight of her big belly as she got off the bed!

"This... this isn’t just one baby in there, is it?" That was his first thought.

Pleased that he didn’t ask a foolish question like "Why is your belly so big?" Feng Qingxue took another bite from the chicken leg in her hand and said unclearly, "That’s right, congratulations, Commander Lu, by the end of the year you will have two more children. If Master Dan’s prediction is not wrong, then they’ll both be boys."
