Chapter 1134: Chapter 1134: Triplets 5

Everyone was aware that Lu Jiang’s family had two children on the way; Feng Qingxue was pregnant with twins and still had to work, which made it difficult to balance both responsibilities, so they were understanding of their decision to hire a nanny. No one would say they were living a decadent bourgeois lifestyle.

Many dual-income families without grandparents to take care of the children would hire nannies. For instance, the grandson of the Lu Shuai family was once stolen by a nanny.

Indeed, Feng Qingxue took a break for a while before she continued to work.

People were sympathetic to her and rarely asked her to work hard, mostly she was just in the office reading medical notes left by Guo Ming.

Xibao and Fubao sometimes followed Feng Qingxue and sometimes they were with Lu Jiang, not very often staying at home. Tian Ling’s main tasks were doing laundry, cooking, cleaning, and preparing for Feng Qingxue’s delivery.

Sometimes Feng Qingxue took the kids to eat in the canteen, so she didn’t even have to cook.

Both families lived in the same residential compound, making it very convenient to come and go.

As the due date approached, letters and parcels started to arrive one after another from outside.

There were preparations from family members, Wang Xinsheng and his wife, Cheng Baoguo and his wife, Chen Xueniang, and Lu Tianjun and Jiang Xiaoyue, who learned of Feng Qingxue’s happy pregnancy through their regular correspondence and thus wanted to give everything they could.

Knowing Feng Qingxue was expecting twins, they prepared double of many items.

Swaddling clothes, clothing, diapers, milk powder, and all sorts of nutritional supplements; Tian Ling was dazzled by the assortment as she sorted them out, clicking her tongue in amazement.

Even comrades from the army didn’t just stand by—they gave swaddling clothes, pairs of clothes, pairs of shoes, or turned old clothes into diapers. The service society at the military district bought nearly all the available brown sugar to give to the Lu family. Ouyang Zijin even managed to get a basket of eggs for Feng Qingxue to nourish herself, "I’ll find a way to get more when you’re in confinement."

Guo Xiuying walked into Feng Qingxue’s office with a large bundle, a puzzled look on her face.

"My dad and mom sent this. In the letter, my dad said that by his calculations, you’re about to give birth, so they made two sets of swaddling clothes and two sets of clothes for the child. I checked the letter, and it was clearly addressed to you, but it seems they accidentally wrote my name when filling out the address and recipient. Xiaoxue, how did my dad and mom know you’re about to give birth? I don’t remember mentioning it to them."

Feng Qingxue blurted out, "Didn’t I tell sister-in-law?"

"Tell me what?" Guo Xiuying asked instinctively.

"I have already taken your respected father as my master!" Feng Qingxue lifted a notebook in her hand. "Look, this is one of the medical notes from my master. He gave them to me when I became his disciple."

Guo Xiuying’s eyes widened suddenly. "When did my dad take you as his disciple?"

Feng Qingxue realized her mistake as soon as she heard Guo Xiuying’s response; she must have forgotten to tell her.

She quickly smiled apologetically, "It was during the vacation period when Ajiang and I took— we went to the Capital for a visit, and we met veteran Wang Xinsheng and Aunt Guo Yan, and by chance, I encountered the master. He thought I had potential and took me on as his disciple."

Guo Xiuying put down the bundle and poked Feng Qingxue’s forehead lightly.

"Oh you, could it be that carrying these twins has made you dull? How could you not tell me about something so important! I knew it—why did the medical notes I glimpsed at occasionally look so familiar? Turns out they were my dad’s!" Guo Xiuying couldn’t help but laugh in exasperation.

Feng Qingxue smiled sheepishly, "But sister-in-law, how could you not recognize your father’s handwriting?"

Guo Xiuying explained, "I’ve been working outside for so many years, I’ve gone back home only a handful of times. Even on vacations, I’m usually visiting my children with my in-laws, so I’ve grown unfamiliar with his handwriting."
