Chapter 1384: Chapter 1384 Fiery Eyes Golden Gaze 2

Lu Jiang couldn’t help but say, "You eat more than your mom with that ’little bit,’ and you’re still calling it a ’little bit.’"

Despite Feng Qingxue repeatedly saying that Fubao and Zhuangzhuang have small appetites, her own appetite wasn’t big either, especially at night, she ate very little, certainly not as much as Xibao and Erxiong, and mostly vegetarian.

Xibao and Erxiong, who were just over two years old, could eat a bowl of fried rice or ten dumplings, and Feng Qingxue’s appetite was about the same.

The father and son had not argued for a few sentences when they felt a chill on their faces.

"It’s snowing!" Lu Erxiong cheered, stretching out his little hand to catch snowflakes, but he was wearing woolen gloves, and the snow was very fine, so it melted when it landed on his hands, and he immediately complained, "It’s gone."

Xibao, pulling along Fubao and Dundun, yawned, "It is gone, so we’re going to sleep now."

When Feng Qingxue heard it was snowing, she hurriedly called them inside, by which time Zhuangzhuang had already fallen asleep.

Wash up and lull the children to sleep, it was about ten o’clock. At that time, there were no fireworks or firecrackers, no hustle and bustle, only the silence of night—probably the Lu Family was the liveliest.

As dawn broke, the snow got thicker and eventually stopped, and Lu Erxiong tumbled out like a ball.

Before Feng Qingxue and the children got up, Lu Jiang had already left early, with the distant sounds of military formations and training chants faintly audible. By the time they cleaned up and had breakfast, it was almost half-past eight.

Xibao and Fubao wrote and drew diligently as usual when the triplets wanted to go out and play, with Erxiong’s voice the loudest.

"Tianzhi, you stay home to watch Xibao and Fubao, and Ayu and I will take them outside for a bit."

"Got it, Auntie."

Feng Qingxue helped the triplets into their deer leather boots, made and sent over by Hu Ping’s mother. Feng Qingxue and the five kids each had a pair, the children’s slightly larger so they could continue to wear them provided the boots stayed intact for another year or two.

Erxiong deliberately chose the spots with the thickest snow to step on, and despite falling haphazardly, he insisted on stepping into it.

Others were struggling to shovel snow at their doorsteps. The laborers were, of course, the military dependents, as the soldiers wouldn’t be home. Feng Qingxue felt a bit embarrassed when she saw the cleared yard and entrance of her home, not knowing if Lu Jiang had cleaned up before leaving, or if someone else had helped.

Hu Shuixian shoveled the last bit of snow to the roadside and wiped off her sweat, then looked up to see the triplets, who were cheering and jumping in glee, "Sis-in-law, are you taking the triplets out to play? Isn’t Zhuangzhuang cold?"

"Not cold!" Zhuangzhuang shook his head himself.

Feng Qingxue was just about to wish Hu Shuixian a happy New Year when Li Panpan said enthusiastically, "Sis-in-law, are you coming out to play? Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, may you meet the leaders this year!"

"Huh?" What kind of blessing was that?

Feng Qingxue said, "I’ve met a few veteran leaders a few days ago."

Li Panpan laughed heartily, "That’s the new year’s blessing that’s been popular for the last two years, how come you took it so seriously, Sis-in-law? We don’t have the fortune to meet any veteran leaders, so that’s why we need the blessings!"

Feng Qingxue caught on, "I wish you can meet the old leaders this year."

Border troops were quite remote, and many things, including trendy information, tended to be behind the inland areas. Just because Feng Qingxue hadn’t experienced it in the border defense forces didn’t mean it wasn’t happening there, so she changed her words quite readily.

"Mutual blessings, mutual blessings!" Li Panpan said with a smile and then pulled out several handfuls of candy from her pocket to give to the triplets.

"Thank you, Aunt Panpan!" Three voices in three different tones, yet all equally polite.
