Chapter 1237 Leisure Time 2
Feng Qingxue looked at her with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, "Milk candy? Four yuan per jin or was it five? My son’s milk powder costs only about three yuan per bag, where would I find the leisure money to buy milk candy? Having hard candy to eat is good enough."
Did she really think Feng Qingxue couldn’t see through Xiu Qinghe’s little schemes?
Seeing through them without pointing them out was only because she had been busy taking care of her children and recuperating lately, too lazy to bother with such pettiness. Now that she’d recovered seventy to eighty percent, with the rest needing a gradual approach, she naturally had the energy to bicker with others.
Xiu Qinghe hurriedly waved her hands, earnestly explaining: "Sister-in-law, I didn’t mean it like that. It’s just that you used to give Ma Rui milk candy, and seeing hard candy today seemed a bit odd, that’s all. I didn’t mean anything else, really, don’t overthink it, sister-in-law."
"I’m not overthinking," Feng Qingxue said with a beaming smile.
Xiu Qinghe was at a loss for words, not sure whether to spit out the prepared excuses to deal with Feng Qingxue or keep them to herself.
Ma Rui licked the hard candy in his hand, and then threw it away, sat down on the spot, flailing his hands and feet on the ground, "Not milk candy, not milk candy, I want milk candy, I want to eat milk candy!"
Feng Qingxue ignored him and turned to pick up her youngest son, who had woken up crying, patting his back, "Mommy’s here, Zhuangzhuang’s not afraid anymore, Zhuangzhuang’s not afraid anymore. Scaring is only for the big, not the small, just lift your ears and it’ll be okay." At the last sentence, her hand playfully pinched his almost translucent ears and gave them a little lift.
Dundun and Xiongxiong also woke up, but they didn’t cry. Dundun stretched out his little hands and feet, while Xiongxiong rolled over and got up, wobbly taking a few steps before sitting down beside his sister, reaching out to touch her face.
