Chapter 1458: Chapter 1458 Boating on the Lake 1

"It’s early in the morning, not even time for me to get up yet. What’s so urgent?"

Lu Jiang was putting on his pants while Feng Qingxue lay in bed laughing, "Hurry and go open the door, it’s nothing other than your duty calling!"

Things had been calm at their house recently, with no urgent matters arising.

Within seconds, Lu Jiang was fully dressed, and several guards had gotten up and opened the door. Seeing him come out, they quickly pointed to a young man in military uniform at the door, saying to him, "He’s here for you, the car is already at the door."

The young man was Commander Xu’s driver, who saluted Lu Jiang and said, "Please return to headquarters immediately, there are important national directives."

He knew it!

Without a second thought, Lu Jiang said, "Give me five minutes!"

"Yes!"

Lu Jiang went back to the bedroom, where Feng Qingxue had already gotten up, arranging her wavy hair, "Going back?"

"Yeah," Lu Jiang replied with a hint of apology on his face, "I promised to spend a whole month with you and the kids, but just after a few days, I have to break my promise. Please apologize to them for me when they wake up, I can’t take them out to play."

As he spoke, he didn’t forget to pack his things.

Feng Qingxue stuffed some sausage, packaged eggs and chicken legs into his luggage, "I will, you focus on your work, I’ll take care of things at home. There shouldn’t be any major incidents recently, right?"

"No major incidents, no emergencies, it’s probably something at headquarters."

Lu Jiang slung his baggage over his shoulder, headed to the door, and turned back, "It’s not even six yet, get some more sleep, I’m heading out."

Feng Qingxue insisted on walking him to the main entrance, the guards were all ready as well.

"Qingxue, you go back."

"Sister-in-law, we’re leaving."

Several young soldiers saluted in turn and followed Lu Jiang into the car, speeding off into the distance.

After Lu Jiang left, Feng Qingxue felt too down to focus on cooking, just rinsed some rice and dates and put them in the stainless steel pot on the coal stove, then took her basket and strolled to the state-run restaurant on the corner, returning with some buns and crullers.

The date porridge was ready, and the elderly and children gradually got up.

Not seeing Lu Jiang, the adults understood, but the children found it hard to grasp. The triplets complained in turn, and Erxiong bounced around on the spot: "Dad left again, really, he just promised to take us boating yesterday!"

Feng Qingxue squatted down, hugging each of the triplets, "Dad is very busy, Commander Grandpa sent someone to call him away early in the morning. Before he left, he asked me to apologize to you, he didn’t break his promise on purpose. However, the next time Dad comes home, you can ask him for compensation, and let him add extra to your outing playtime as a penalty."

The terms "compensation" and "emission penalty" were deep concepts for children. Hearing this, they all looked bewildered, blinking their big eyes as if their eyeballs were spinning around, utterly adorable.

Xibao said, "It just means making dad compensate us."

"That sounds great!" Erxiong understood and cheerfully said, "I want a big ice cream, Dad didn’t buy it for me yesterday."

Dundun, who was usually quiet, spun his eyes around, propped up his elbow, and rested his chin in his hands, beginning to ponder about his unfulfilled desires lately, wondering if not napping with Erxiong counted as one?

Only Zhuangzhuang snuggled into his mother’s arms, hugging her neck, "I’m happy just to have mom."

Feng Qingxue patted his back, turning to always overlooked third child, "Dundun, what do you want dad to compensate you with?"
