Chapter 1187: Chapter 1187: Confirmation Received 2

Today is a day off, and with Tian Ling absent, Lu Jiang isn’t at ease with just Feng Qingxue and the child at home.

"Fubao has returned, and Xiaoyun should be nearby, why don’t you call her back to watch the child for me?" Feng Qingxue saw through her husband’s thoughts at a glance, and gave him a look, really not knowing how to adapt.

Guan Cheng hurriedly said, "Auntie was called away by her comrade-in-arms."

Lu Jiang glanced at his wife, only to see her sound asleep with her head covered.

Guan Cheng chuckled, "Uncle didn’t you say that Comrade Qiao Desheng is on leave at the end of the month? It’s only the beginning of February now, we have plenty of time, no need to rush. Taking care of Auntie is more important."

Lu Jiang expressed his satisfaction.

Time passed quickly, and because Feng Qingxue was not in good health, she needed to do a two-month confinement; Zhuangzhuang’s health was particularly poor, and even the Jade Gourd couldn’t bless him with health and peace, so she had to keep taking leave.

The triplets were born at the end of the solar December, the 28th, and by the end of February, they would be two months old.

After Feng Qingxue finished her confinement, Qiao Desheng was about to depart.

If they didn’t find him now, there would be no time later. Lu Jiang asked Guan Cheng to cook a few dishes, and they invited Qiao Desheng and his wife over for the evening.

As soon as Fang Ning arrived, she first paid attention to the children. She went into the eastern bedroom, touched Xibao, teased Fubao, then looked at the triplets on the kang. Dundun and Xiongxiong looked identical, had grown significantly rounder, with chubby cheeks, plump bodies, and big round eyes that they moved around fearlessly, even though at their age they couldn’t see things that were far away very clearly.

Zhuangzhuang seemed uncomfortable, constantly fussing and whining, his little face pitifully thin.

Feng Qingxue lovingly held her youngest son in her arms, "Xiaowo was born weak, and eats too little, so naturally he can’t compare to his two brothers. I often can’t sleep all night long. I was just thinking of discussing with Ajiang about applying for a discharge!"

"You want to be discharged?" Fang Ning was taken aback.

How many people wished to enlist but couldn’t, yet Feng Qingxue, with her excellent medical skills, was thinking of doing the opposite?

"I can’t keep taking leave like this." Feng Qingxue sighed, "With Zhuangzhuang like this, how can I have the heart to work? Taking leave as regularly as eating at home, what’s the difference from not working?"

Just as they were discussing this, Lu Jiang called out from outside, "Qingxue, where’s the alcohol I bought? Where did you put it?"

"Where else could it be but in the cabinet." Guan Cheng was in charge of cooking, and Feng Qingxue dared not to use the space casually.

Lu Jiang opened the cabinet and indeed found a bottle of alcohol.

It wasn’t Maotai or Fenjiu, just regular baijiu.

After the alcohol had gone around three times, Lu Jiang spoke up, "Desheng, you hurriedly requested leave, did you encounter some trouble? We’ve been brothers for so many years, you can’t keep secrets from us."

Fang Ning glanced at her husband but remained silent.

"Yes, Commander Qiao, by doing this you’re treating us like outsiders." Feng Qingxue, holding Zhuangzhuang, wandered around the hall and didn’t sit at the table. Noticing Fang Ning’s expression, she knew that Fang Ning was aware of her in-laws’ situation, "My relationship with Fang Ning is so good, and it was me who brought you two together, not for Fang Ning to worry and fear for you."

"Sister-in-law don’t say that," Qiao Desheng hurriedly said.

Feng Qingxue glanced at him, "While looking for people, we heard some rumors about your family. We just don’t know if they’re true or not. There’re no outsiders here now, so tell us, what exactly happened?"
