Chapter 1313: Chapter 1313: Unbelievable 4

Feng Qingxue pursed her lips and smiled, saying, "Yes, they’re all packed in the luggage, just forgot which bag I put them in."

"My kids are starving, let’s eat first, and we’ll talk after the meal," Lu Jiang glanced at the honest Dundun and the frail Zhuangzhuang who were eagerly eyeing the table, feeling a surge of pity, "With so much luggage, we have to search through it one by one."

"Okay, okay, time to eat, time to eat." The elders had no objections, having already instructed their security detail to bring the meals swiftly.

Xiongxiong had no objections either, having settled himself into his high chair with his bib on, ready and waiting with his mouth wide open.

His hands rested on his knees, behaving as well as any good child would.

"You impolite little brat!" Feng Qingxue couldn’t help but smack him on the head, "Grandpa, Daddy, Mommy, Brother, and Sister haven’t even sat down at the table yet, and nobody has picked up their chopsticks. You’re already the first one ready, you’re not allowed to do this next time."

Chen Rong was busy saying, "Little kids don’t have so many rules, we’re not particular about these things."

Lu Cheng nodded in agreement, "In the army, if you eat slow, you get no food at all, you have to scramble for it, it’s all about who grabs the chopsticks first."

But the Lu family was particular about such things, Feng Qingxue thought.

However, since the elders had spoken, Feng Qingxue didn’t scold the child too harshly.

Xiongxiong was eating his egg pancake, eyeing the variety of dishes in the adults’ bowls, and whenever the elders went to pick up some food with their chopsticks, he would open his mouth wide at them, showing off his small white teeth with a big "Ah!"

"What a good boy!" Chen Rong happily fed him a mouthful of stir-fried cabbage with his chopsticks.

The dish had chili in it, but he carefully rinsed it several times with hot water in the bowl.

The flavor wasn’t as good as the egg pancake, and Xiongxiong spat it out onto the table three times, even if it meant getting slapped on the bottom by his dad, refusing to swallow it.

"It doesn’t taste good!" he said.

Feng Qingxue frowned sternly, took away the bowl of egg pancake in front of him, and scolded, "Lu Erxiong, if you don’t want to eat, then don’t eat at all! Do you know that there are many children who can’t even get a bite of this cabbage? Do you realize that for poor kids, finding a few rotten vegetable leaves to roast with sweet potato skins is considered a luxury every winter?"

With the bowl no longer in front of him, Lu Erxiong burst into tears, crying, "My egg pancake!"

"You were the one who asked Grandpa for the cabbage, if you don’t eat it, you won’t get the egg pancake," Feng Qingxue was not going to soften her stance simply because the five children had never experienced hunger and didn’t understand its taste, nor would she allow them to waste food.

Lu Erxiong cried breathlessly, and the hearts of the elders, Guan Cheng, Lu Tianzhi, and Guan Yu ached for him.

"He’s still young, what does he know? The stir-fried cabbage with just water isn’t as tasty as the egg pancake," Chen Rong said.

Guan Cheng added, "Yeah, Auntie, Erxiong has never gone hungry, and he’s young; naturally, he wouldn’t want to eat something he doesn’t like, don’t be too harsh on him. Don’t you also not force Zhuangzhuang when he comes across something he doesn’t like to eat?"

"It’s different." Zhuangzhuang doesn’t eat the foods he doesn’t like right from the start, instead of wasting like Erxiong does.

Xibao kindly said to Lu Erxiong, "Why are you crying? Just eat the cabbage, and you’ll get the egg pancake."

"It doesn’t taste good!" Lu Erxiong maintained his opinion.

"The army’s food lacks oil and salt, of course, it’s not as tasty as what Mom and Brother Acheng make." That’s why Xibao never coveted the meals brought from the canteen by both grandpas, "But who can you blame? You were the one who asked Grandpa for it, so you should eat it up!"

Lu Erxiong wanted to sulk, but seeing Dundun and Zhuangzhuang enjoying their egg pancakes, and his own egg pancake bowl held far away by Mom, who was seriously not intending to give it to him, he reluctantly stuck out his tongue to scoop up the cabbage he had spat out onto the table, swallowing it down like a puppy, and opened his mouth wide, "All gone!"
