Chapter 1587: Chapter 1587: Unforeseen Disaster 1

As soon as Feng Qingxue saw Liu Ran’s shadow, she knew something was up.

"New Year’s Day, today is New Year’s Day. Except for those on duty, everyone else is on holiday. The two of us didn’t take this holiday, which is already very pitiful. What are you being called for now?" Feng Qingxue muttered under her breath.

Lu Jiang couldn’t help but laugh, "I have no idea."

Liu Ran, seeing Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue’s expressions, knew what they were thinking. He ran up to them, saluted, and whispered, "Sir, there’s a call for you from the Capital."

Lu Jiang got up without hesitation, "Let’s go."

"Put on your coat!" Feng Qingxue handed him the military coat that was on her lap, "After you take the call, if there’s nothing else, just head home. I should head back too, otherwise Erxiong will be up to his tricks at home with no one to keep him in line."

Among the triplets, Lu Erxiong lived up to his name, building a snowman in the snow and kicking it apart once it was done.

Zhuangzhuang leaned against the glass window, looking out, "Is Fourth Brother just bored?"

Dundun was munching on an apple that Li Jiaoyang brought over, and gave Zhuangzhuang a bite, "He’s just bored. Kicking down the snowman was a waste, wasn’t it? Wait a minute, whose red scarf is that? Erxiong’s is blue."

It looked very familiar. Dundun pressed his face against the glass for a closer look.

Lu Erxiong huffed and puffed, piling the kicked-apart snow together, and swiftly built a snowman, wrapped a scarf around it, and put a hat on it.

Zhuangzhuang leaned his elbow on the windowsill, cheek in hand, "That’s Sister’s scarf. Just wait and see Fourth Brother get a beating!"

Fubao dashed out of the study, and smacked Lu Erxiong a few times on the butt, "Lu Erxiong, you rascal, why did you take my scarf to put on a snowman while I was painting? And my hat too!"

Wearing thick clothes in the winter, the smacks didn’t hurt much.

Lu Erxiong hopped away, covering his butt with his hands, blinking his innocent big eyes, "Yours looks nice!"

White and red, they match well!

"Even if it looks nice, you can’t just put it on a snowman! It’s all wet now and got dirty!" Fubao took her scarf and hat off the snowman, almost in tears. She was just in the study copying a snow scene drawing.

Ye Yan followed her out and consoled, "It’s okay, wash and dry them and they’ll be fine."

"Uncle Ye gave those to me. If he finds out I didn’t cherish them, he’ll definitely be unhappy."

"It’s okay, it’s okay, Dad wouldn’t be unhappy."

Lu Erxiong stuck his tongue out and quickly hid in the kitchen.

Zu Lei was rolling out noodles in the kitchen and smiled while shaking his head, "Erxiong, can’t you stay out of trouble?"

"Uncle Zu, what does ’stay out of trouble’ mean? Can you eat it?" Lu Erxiong grabbed a washed radish from the cutting board and started munching on it without minding the spiciness at all, "You can eat radishes, and noodles too. Can I have a poached egg?"

"Sure."

Everyone agreed to save eggs so that each child could have one egg a day.

Once everything was prepared, Zu Lei added oil to the pan to fry the cabbage, added water and brought it to a boil. Only when Feng Qingxue and Lu Jiang returned home did he add the cut noodles to the pot, cracking five poached eggs, one for Ye Yan, Fubao, and each of the triplets.

While eating, Fubao tattled to their parents, describing Erxiong as utterly despicable.

"You should wear Erxiong’s scarf tomorrow, let him reap what he sows and let his neck go bare," Feng Qingxue said naturally.

Fubao pouted, "Erxiong’s scarf is ugly and smelly!"

"Even if you wanted to wear it, I wouldn’t let you!" Lu Erxiong retorted, not to be outdone.

Fubao angrily ate two more bites of noodles.
