Chapter 1459: Chapter 1459 Boating on the Lake 2
Dundun placed his little hands on his knees, tilting his head and blinking his big eyes, “Can any wish of mine be granted?”
“Yes, if Daddy doesn’t agree, Mommy will make it happen.” Feng Qingxue replied generously, thinking that compared to Lu Erxiong who always had bizarre requests, Dundun was much more adorable and endearing.
“I want to go boating,” Dundun said earnestly, “I still want to go boating.”
He is the elder brother, so maybe he should stop disliking Lu Erxiong, who just yesterday had taken a big bite out of the red date cake he loved.
“I want to go boating too!” Lu Erxiong exclaid loudly.
Feng Qingxue agreed without hesitation, “Alright, since Dad is not at ho, Mom along with Grandpa and Grandma will take you boating.”
“Wow!” The triplets held hands and spun around, cheering, “We’re going boating, we’re going boating!”
The adults watched them, wanting to laugh; although Lu Erxiong was the most playful and Zhuangzhuang was the most heart-wrenching, when it ca to being clever, Dundun surpassed them both combined. He was just too modest to speak up, but he had his wits about him and had never been at a disadvantage from a young age.
Lu Jiang often wasn’t ho, so the house remained lively even in his absence.
And Lu Jiang? Sitting alone in his car, his heart was filled with thoughts of his wife and children, wondering if the kids were upset. With these thoughts, he arrived at the headquarters located at West Mountain, where senior officers like Commander Xu, Deputy Commander Wang, Chief of Staff Shen, and Commissar Li, who all outranked him, were dining alongside others such as Jiang Yun, with the lowest rank being division commander.
A crowd of people saw him and hurriedly invited him to join the al.
The breakfast must have been prepared for him, as Commander Xu’s aides quickly served it to him.
After paying his respects, Lu Jiang unhesitatingly sat down, picked up his bowl, and began to eat. He couldn’t sneak food from his wife while in the car, and now he was so hungry he felt he could eat an entire cow.
“Comrade Commander, what did you need for so early in the morning? I am supposed to be on leave.”
“So what if you’re on leave? You’re not unfamiliar with the army’s unexpected events,” Commander Xu was not fooled by Lu Jiang’s attempt to act pitiful, “Besides, your family really needs to move; not to ntion the distance, that dilapidated courtyard doesn’t even have a telephone or a telegraph. In case of an ergency, it’s inconvenient to reach you; we have to send soone directly.”
Lu Jiang didn’t even lift his head, “That courtyard is quite good, it’s convenient for my loved one to go to school.”
“Oh? Has Xibao’s mom not graduated yet?” Commander Xu rembered so military students in West Mountain, most of whom graduated in a year and already returned to their posts. He hadn’t paid attention to Feng Qingxue’s situation.
“No, she’s taken up French, English, and is furthering her education at the dical college, a two-year program.”
“Oh, she’s studying quite a lot, having the opportunity to learn is pretty good, ‘Live and Learn’ as they say!” Commander Xu finished, turning back to the main topic, “What was I discussing? Right, the moving issue, have you considered moving to West Mountain? I think it’s much more convenient than your old yard.”
Lu Jiang responded seriously, “Once Qingxue graduates, I’ll take the kids back to Baozhou, no need for the trouble.”
Commander Xu glanced at him and finished the last mouthful of his porridge, “Next May, division commanders including you will be reassigned. Do you think it’s possible for Xibao’s mom to return to Baozhou after graduating in autumn or winter?”
“Then wherever I go, they’ll follow,” Lu Jiang replied without hesitation.
Commander Xu gestured at him in resignation, left without anything more to say.
