Chapter 1314: Chapter 1314: Unbelievable 5

Feng Qingxue only then placed the bowl with his egg pancakes in front of him and tapped his forehead with her hand, "Remember, you’re not allowed to just ask for others’ food, you must swallow even if the food in your mouth tastes bad, and don’t waste food!"

Xiongxiong pouted, "Mommy’s mean! Once I finish eating, I’m going to run away from home."

As he spoke, he took big bites of the egg pancake.

"Eventually, we’ll have to let them eat bran and swallow vegetables for a while, to really taste the bitterness we once endured," Feng Qingxue said angrily.

Lu Jiang and several adult nephews looked at the children with sympathy. Feng Qingxue really meant what she said, although it might not include Zhuangzhuang, since Zhuangzhuang’s stomach was weak and he couldn’t digest well.

Chen Rong and Lu Cheng exchanged a glance, but said nothing.

They say it’s the strict father and the tender mother, but looking at the Lu Family, it didn’t seem to be the case. The gentle Feng Qingxue was actually so strict, even to the extent of regulating when the children could start eating at the table. On the other hand, Lu Jiang never stopped his wife from disciplining their children.

Thinking about it did not seem strange because Lu Jiang had spent years on end in the military, and Feng Qingxue was always the one who spent the most time with the children.

That was good, there was no worry that the children wouldn’t turn out well.

Having been in the army for so many years, they had seen many children go down the wrong path due to their fathers being soldiers and their mothers failing to raise them properly.

No wonder Zhou Fengchun always spoke so highly of the Lu Family’s family values in his letters, calling them a family that accumulates good deeds, saying from old to young they were all noble-hearted and not the sort who would be ungrateful. He could fill pages with just the amusing stories about the Lu Family’s children.

After seeing Feng Qingxue and the children, Chen Rong and Lu Cheng finally believed their old friend’s words.

After eating, the two elders happily went back to their residence with Zhou Fengchun’s letter and the things Feng Qingxue had brought on Zhou Fengchun’s behalf. Upon opening the letter, they indeed did not see Zhou Fengchun mentioning that he had sent anything to them.

"All good kids, very polite in speech and demeanor, and not at all pretentious or stingy," Lu Cheng commented.

From the adults to the children, from head to toe, their appearance and manners were impeccable—every aspect made it clear they came from deep-rooted sophistication.

Chen Rong nodded rapidly and said in a solemn voice, "Good, we can rest assured now, no need to worry that we’re supporting an ingrate. The pain of the past, once suffered, is enough; the loss of the past, once incurred, is enough."

Zhou Fengchun had fallen to his current state because of the machinations of that ingrate, who fabricated countless false charges against Zhou Fengchun.

In those days, Zhou Fengchun, who had both literary and martial abilities, and was both cultured and resolutely courageous, shone so brightly in the military. Now, he had to take refuge in a cattle shed in the countryside just to stay alive.

The two had not come today merely to see Feng Qingxue; rather, it was to observe the Lu Family members.

Lu Jiang alone proved nothing, but from his family members, one could understand whether he was worthy of Zhou Fengchun’s strong recommendation.

Most importantly, after Zhou Fengchun’s misfortune, everyone in the Lu Family, including the children, did not avoid him. From Xibao’s constant calling him "Grandfather Zhou," it was clear, which greatly comforted Chen Rong and Lu Cheng.

While the two elders were discussing the Lu Family, Feng Qingxue sent the children to take their nap, and the couple continued to tidy up.

With every item put away in its place, the house started to look a bit more like a home, when suddenly someone knocked on the door.

When Feng Qingxue opened the door, she saw it was the military dependents living next door.

There stood an old woman who looked no different from a rural grandmother, dressed in a black sloping-collared overcoat, accompanied by two younger wives who looked about Feng Qingxue’s age. One wore a red cotton jacket with an army green polyester service jacket over it, and the other wore a green cotton jacket with a black and blue plaid woolen cover-up. Both looking quite pretty.
