Chapter 1215: Chapter 1215: Picking Up Xibao 2

Lu Jiang’s father could guess his son’s thoughts and nearly rolled his eyes in exasperation.

Worried about setting a bad example for his grandson, Lu Jiang’s father suppressed his desire to scold his son and said, "We have some Tibetan medicinal materials like Rhodiola left by Qingxue at home. When I came here, Guan Cheng specifically brought them for me to drink."

Upon hearing this, Lu Jiang instantly had a burst of clarity.

"It’s always Qingxue who thinks of everything." He had no idea about this whole affair, no wonder his family had been doing so well since they got here.

Lu Jiang’s father didn’t want to talk to him and kept cuddling with Xibao, ignoring him.

"Grandpa, did you receive my letter? My characters are really good, everyone praised me, and I corrected the ones I wrote wrong!" As Xibao talked, he brought up his own achievements, "I can draw now, grandpa, mom taught me. Dad is so dumb, he can’t draw at all, he even said what I drew looked like a toad!"

"Then what did you draw?" Lu Jiang’s father asked.

Puffing out his chest, Xibao spoke loudly, "A big horse, I drew a big horse! Grandpa, there are lots of big horses in the army, and lots of cows, yaks, and many sheep, grazing!" He pointed outside the window.

At that moment, the car was driving across a vast grassland, a boundless green field dotted with cows and sheep, and occasionally some Tibetan tents.

"The sky is vast, the fields are boundless, and the wind sweeps low to reveal cows and sheep."

Finally witnessing the scene described in the poem filled Lu Jiang’s father with joy. However, upon seeing Qingxue and Zhuangzhuang, one looking sickly and the other frail, his heart ached deeply, "Ajiang, how have you been taking care of your mother and brother? Look at how thin you’ve all become! How am I supposed to explain this to your uncle?"

"Ajiang has been very attentive; it’s just that after giving birth to triplets, both Qi and blood are depleted. We’re in the process of recuperation, and will recover soon!" Qingxue couldn’t bear to let her husband be scolded, "After sitting on the train for so long, you should sit down and rest. Ajiang, quickly pour some water for dad."

Lu Jiang’s father advised, "Use any good nourishing products for yourself first. If you’re well, the children will also be well."

"Don’t worry, dad, I haven’t been neglecting myself." When Tian Ling was around, it seemed like I didn’t have much good food, but in reality, every night Lu Jiang would stew nourishment for himself, using the supplements bought in his previous life. He would prepare different dishes every night, stew them in the middle of the night and put them in the space, then eat them before Tian Ling arrived in the morning, eating behind her back during the day, so Tian Ling never suspected a thing.

Lu Jiang’s father felt somewhat relieved, but as he looked down at Zhuangzhuang in his arms, he couldn’t help feeling distressed again, "How is Zhuangzhuang doing? He looks much thinner than his two older brothers, his cheeks are pitifully small."

The two grandsons playing with the rattle drums on the kang bed looked chubbier, didn’t they? Almost as round as Xibao was as a child.

"He will grow with careful nourishment. Just pay a little more attention to him and he’ll be fine when he grows up. Don’t worry, dad," Qingxue said, even though she felt unsure in her heart. Zhuangzhuang was too small to know if he would be okay until he grew a bit older.

Lu Jiang’s father tightened his arm around Zhuangzhuang, "Then he must be cared for properly. I heard you’ve been discharged from the military?"

Qingxue hummed in affirmation.

"You’ve worked hard, Qingxue." Lu Jiang’s father was well aware of why she was discharged.

Upon hearing this, Qingxue couldn’t help but smile, "Look at what you’re saying, Dad. What have I got to be tired about? When Ajiang isn’t home, we hired Sister Tian to help out. She takes care of the laundry and cooking, I don’t have to worry about anything. It’s Ajiang who has it tough, his salary alone has to support our whole big family. The burden on his shoulders isn’t light."

"It’s alright, he is a man, and for a man, providing for his family is just natural!"
