Chapter 1460: Chapter 1460 Boating on the Lake 3

Feng Qingxue didn’t care what problems the old generals at the headquarters were discussing. After eating, she kept her promise and took a day off from school to take her family to Shichahai Park, where the entrance fee was three cents per ticket.

Although the hint of autumn had just begun, there were still quite a few people in the park, and the open-air swimming pool was as crowded as if they were dropping in dumplings.

Because the children wanted to go boating, Feng Qingxue went to buy boat tickets.

The boat tickets cost five cents each, and their family took a rowboat that cost forty-five cents in total. The children were fine, but the adults couldn’t stretch their legs and could only sit in the small boat.

Feng Qingxue, being meticulous, checked for lifebuoys on the small boat before bringing her family onboard.

The area of Shichahai was vast, with the Red Wall Courtyard nearby, and under the autumn sky, the lake was vast and shimmering.

Xibao and Fubao didn’t need any asking; all three triplets needed constant watchful eyes from the adults. Dundun and Zhuangzhuang sat obediently beside Feng Qingxue, while Lu Erxiong wished he could break free from Wang Cuilan’s control and throw himself into the water outside the boat.

"Row the boat; I want to row it myself!" Unlike Xibao and Fubao, who asked the boatman how to row, Erxiong was just loud.

The middle-aged boatman chuckled: "Little guy, you can’t row the boat. You’re not even taller than the oar. Can you handle an oar? Even if you can handle it and row, you can’t take my job! Uncle relies on rowing for a living."

He spoke as if pitifully, having seen too many children wanting to row the boat themselves.

Feng Qingyun waved to Lu Erxiong, "Erxiong, what if your aunt sings a song for you, would you like that?"

"Good, something nice to listen to!" Lu Erxiong was quite demanding.

Feng Qingyun cleared her throat and started singing, "Let’s row the oars, push the boat to ride the waves. The lake reflects the beautiful white pagoda, surrounded by green trees and the red walls."

Her vocal range was wide, and she was professionally trained, making her singing sweet and bright.

Fubao had been familiar with the song from her family’s influence. She immediately went close to her aunt and started singing along, first softly, then gradually louder. She was young and untrained, her voice not as good as Feng Qingyun’s, but her innocent and cheerful voice was more suited for children’s songs. Feng Qingyun gradually lowered her voice until only Fubao’s singing remained.

Dundun and Zhuangzhuang supported her enthusiastically, clapping vigorously, their cheeks flushing with excitement, "Nice, so nice."

The boatman asked Lu’s father, "Are these all your grandchildren?"

"Yeah, they’re my youngest son’s kids. You saw the three little ones; even though they don’t look alike, they’re triplets." Dundun and Lu Erxiong actually looked exactly alike, but Erxiong was a bit plumper and had a touch of exquisite naughtiness, while Dundun had an earnest appearance and was easy to distinguish. Xiaowo Zhuangzhuang looked very different from his two twin brothers.

"Triplets, wow, they’re all so healthy, that’s really a blessing." The boatman initially thought that the most beautiful little boy was one year younger than the other two similarly aged boys.

Lu’s father smiled and nodded, "Yes, the greatest blessing I have in my old age is to enjoy the joy of playing with my grandchildren!"

The boatman listened and was very envious.

After Fubao finished singing the song, Lu Erxiong stood with his hands on his hips, "I can sing too."

"Then sing!" Fubao rolled her eyes, not very gracefully.

"You all have to give me applause."

Hey, quite a list of demands!

Everyone raised their hands and gave him a round of uneven applause, and when they heard him start to sing, everyone burst into laughter.
