Chapter 99 - 0099: Help in Need 3_1
Feng Qingxue missed her younger sister and was afraid that sending items to the Lu Family would draw attention. She quickly bid her farewell.
After she had left, watching his grandfather and brother sort and stow away the items, Lu Tianzhi suddenly said, "When I grow up, I will take good care of Auntie."
Although he was told to call her Auntie Feng, in his heart, Feng Qingxue was his real aunt, his mother’s sister, and also his mother.
Others had both a father and a mother, he didn’t.
However, he thought, if he had parents, they would be like his uncle and aunt.
Lu’s father rubbed his small head, feeling extraordinarily tender towards this grandson who had never had parents and lived a life free of privilege since birth.
"Good! We’re going to have the dumplings that your auntie made for lunch!"
In the past month or so, Lu Jiang had been at home and everyone ate their fill. After Lu Jiang left, Feng Qingxue sent food on a regular and scheduled basis, unlike the previous two sparse meals a day, it actually made them feel full, and they’d developed quite an appetite.
Lu’s father cooked about fifty dumplings. Seven-year-old Lu Tianzhi ate more than a dozen in one go.
Feng Qingxue did not make small dumplings; each one was as substantial as a small gold ingot. Lu’s father ate just over a dozen, and the rest were all polished off by eleven-year-old Lu Tianjun.
Retaining the original broth, after finishing the dumplings, they savored a bowl of dumpling soup. It was an indescribable pleasure.
