Chapter 1368: Chapter 1368: Return to the Military 3

It’s said that no one knows a child better than their mother. When the triplets woke up and didn’t see their mother, and with Lu Jiang returning to his unit, neither Guan Yu nor Lu Tianzhi could control them at all. Even with Fubao’s comfort, they continued causing havoc at home.

Dundun was alright, just sniffling, but didn’t make trouble – ate when it was time to eat, drank when it was time to drink, and slept when it was time to sleep.

Zhuangzhuang was also behaving quite well, just rummaging around looking for their mother. When he couldn’t find her, he would start crying with tears streaming down like rain on pear blossoms.

But Erxiong was the naughtiest – without adults to discipline him, he nearly turned the house upside down. He wouldn’t listen to Lu Tianzhi or Guan Yu at all. He wouldn’t eat properly, speak properly, and didn’t cry or make a scene, but insisted on going out to play in the snow. He accidentally slipped and got covered in mud.

Before it snowed, there had been a light rain mixed with snow, so the ground was muddy everywhere.

Lu Tianzhi was furious and shouted, "Erxiong, if you keep being this naughty, your mother won’t want you anymore!"

Lu Erxiong stuck both index fingers into his mouth, stretched his mouth wide to make a face at him, his tongue rolling in and out, making strange noises, "Mama, my Mama, Mama loves Erxiong the most!"

His round figure shaking his butt in the snow looked comical no matter how one saw it.

"Then I don’t have you as a brother anymore. Now, spit out the food I made for you today!" Lu Tianzhi said, with one hand on his hip.

Lu Erxiong looked up, grinning, "You should call me ’big brother’!"

Lu Tianzhi didn’t catch on, "What do you mean?"

Xibao stood at the doorway and heard their conversation. He walked in and said, "What he means is, if you don’t have him as a little brother, then he doesn’t have you as a big brother. You’re telling him to spit out his food, so he’s telling you to give back all those times you called yourself his big brother."

He knew all too well what little tricks Erxiong had up his sleeve. When people used to verbally take back something they gave to him, he would immediately demand they return all the times they had called him by name.

Whether it was really what Lu Erxiong meant or not, he just nodded vigorously and ran outside like he was flying.

"Xibao!" Lu Tianzhi was so happy to see him, he hurriedly looked outside, and indeed, he saw Lu Erxiong clinging to Feng Qingxue’s legs, "Auntie is back too, so soon!"

"If she didn’t come back soon, who knows what Erxiong would have turned into," Feng Qingxue said as she looked at Lu Erxiong, covered in mud, nearly beside herself with anger.

Lu Erxiong wailed loudly, "Mama, Mama, Mama, I missed you so much!"

"It looks like you were having a lot of fun!" Feng Qingxue said.

Lu Erxiong just chuckled stupidly.

Hearing the noise, Guan Yu quickly grabbed a brother with one hand, rushing out with Fubao in tow, and heaved a huge sigh of relief, "Auntie, you’ve finally come back. We’ve felt the days drag on like years!"

"Mama! Mama!" Dundun and Zhuangzhuang called out joyfully.

Feng Qingxue hurriedly said, "It’s snowing right now, hurry inside!" and she casually carried Erxiong into the house.

With her there, the home finally had its backbone again.

While Feng Qingxue cuddled with her daughter and the triplets, Lu Tianzhi and Guan Yu finally had time to tidy the messy house and soaked the diapers and dirty clothes in water.

"Oh no, the coal stove has gone out!" Lu Tianzhi stomped his foot.

They had been so busy looking after the kids that they forgot about refilling the coal stove, and the three pieces of honeycomb coal inside had burned down to nothing. This was the coal stove that Hu Shuixian, Li Panpan, and others had come to help clean and relight just yesterday.

Hu Shuixian had a key to the Lu house, and she and Li Panpan had helped air out the bedding in advance, so they had slept very comfortably last night.
