Chapter 1328: Chapter 1328: Radish Meatballs 3

Hu Shuixian had just returned home with her grievance-filled son Du Zhong when they heard a knock at the door. Opening it to see Xibao and the meatballs in his bowl, she immediately said, "What’s this for, you? That’s too polite."

"My mom just fried these meatballs and asked me to bring a bowl for Zhongzhong to eat. Aunt Xiaocui’s family has some too," Xibao said with a beaming smile.

Xibao naturally gave off a great sense of likeability, including for Hu Shuixian.

Smelling the aroma in the air, Du Zhong said, "Mom, it smells so good, I want to eat!"

Xibao pinched a meatball and stuffed it into his mouth, "I washed my hands."

"It tastes so good, brother!" Du Zhong’s eyes lit up.

Seeing this, Hu Shuixian didn’t refuse and said, "Okay then, I’ll pour the meatballs out, and you take back the bowl, and thank your mom for me."

After pouring out the meatballs, Hu Shuixian washed the bowl, wiped it dry with a clean cloth, and filled it with Golden Fruit Bars for Xibao to take back, "Give these to your brother and sister to eat."

As Xibao was about to leave, Hu Shuixian added, "It’s normal for kids to fight over things, just don’t be too hard on Xiongxiong, okay?"

The Lu family’s triplets each had their own charms, how adorable are they?

In any case, Hu Shuixian liked them all, wishing her introverted and well-behaved, to the point of timidity, son would be as mischievous as Erxiong. That way, he wouldn’t be bullied in the future, but unfortunately, he was just the type to be bullied, not fighting back no matter who hit him.

After hearing Hu Shuixian’s words, Xibao replied, "Auntie, don’t worry!"

They weren’t going to beat Erxiong to death; it was just to teach him a lesson.

Not only did Hu Shuixian return the favor, but Sai Xiaocui and Li Panpan didn’t let Xibao go back with an empty bowl either.

Sai Xiaocui filled a bowl with vegetable turnovers for Xibao, while Li Panpan’s bowl for Xibao was brimming with big red dates, which her hometown produced in abundance. These had been sent from her family home at the end of the year.

Feng Qingxue then had Ping Zhengkai run another errand to deliver some to Chen Rong, Lu Cheng, and other seasoned veterans.

They only gave to those they were close with; for those they weren’t or didn’t interact with, they let it be.

The meatballs fried in butter were particularly delicious, crispy on the outside and soft inside, bursting with flavor, and everyone couldn’t stop eating. Therefore, for lunch, they only made a large pot of cabbage and vermicelli soup, not bothering to make additional dishes.

Having a hearty meal, Zhuangzhuang and his sister Fubao together ate only seven or eight meatballs, their small appetites causing Feng Qingxue to frown.

Fortunately, the two children then drank almost half a bowl of soup, and Feng Qingxue’s frown finally eased somewhat.

"Fubao is over five years old now, why do you eat so little? Fubao, you need to eat more to grow taller," Lu Jiang put some meatballs into his daughter’s bowl, "Don’t you want to grow up? Eating is how you grow!"

Fubao frowned, "I’m full, Daddy, you can give it to Erxiong."

Lu Jiang glanced at Erxiong’s chubby face, then back at his daughter, whose face was small enough to tug at the heart. He showed a clear preference for his daughter over his son, "Erxiong is small, he can’t eat any more. If he gets too fat, he won’t grow tall. Fubao, you eat."

Fubao shook her head resolutely and quickly got up and ran off.

With his mouth full of meatballs, Erxiong chewed them up hurriedly and swallowed, "I’ll eat, I’ll eat!"

His appetite was particularly good; among the triplets, he ate the most.

"Why eat so much? You’re eating up your brother’s share in your belly," Lu Jiang said.

Upon hearing Lu Jiang’s words, Erxiong carried on as if he hadn’t heard anything, eating and drinking with gusto, afraid someone would snatch his food. Eventually, he struggled down from the chair with a belly stuck out and toddled off into the yard.

Soon afterward, his exclamations could be heard from outside, "Snow, it’s snowing!"

Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue went out to see, and a strong wind was blowing fine snowflakes all around, quickly laying a thin white layer on the ground.
