Chapter 1517: General Mobilization

Qiu Jinzhou braked the car directly: "I just met Nianchun on the road. She said you were going to the regiment to see Chuxue, so she asked me to come help watch the children for the afternoon."

Xiao Fu was delighted: "Oh, my little sister is the best. This is a huge help."

Hearing his brother-in-law say this, Qiu Jinzhou replied: "Second brother, I'm the one watching the children. Shouldn't you thank me first?"

Xiao Fu rolled his eyes at him and said deliberately: "It's my little sister who asked you to come over."

Qiu Jinzhou sighed: "Fine, whatever you say. You're my older brother, but you've changed quite a bit now."

Xiao Fu laughed: "We've been in the city for so long. If I were still the same old me, I'd be in trouble."

Qiu Jinzhou thought it made sense: "By the way, how many boys and how many girls are in Chuxue's triplets?"

Xiao Fu's expression sobered: "Xia Qiu called. She was so anxious she forgot to ask. They only said over there that triplets were born. The people are at the hospital now, so we'll only know when we see them."

When they arrived home, Xiao Mu and Xia Qiu had already prepared the things to take.

Qiu Jinzhou spoke first: "Second sister-in-law, bring out some of the children's food. If the children cry, I can use the food to coax them for a while."

Xiao Mu showed him where the food was kept: "Just take it from here. If we come back late, you can mix formula for them to drink."

Though she said that, she still felt uneasy: "Jinzhou, um, can you handle watching two children by yourself?"

Hearing this, Qiu Jinzhou said: "Second sister-in-law, I've helped plenty with Yiming and Yilin at my house. Just rest assured."

Xiao Fu didn't want to delay any longer: "Alright, Nianchun should be arriving soon. Hurry up and get yourself ready. We'll leave in a moment."

Xiao Mu looked at her son and grandson who were still sleeping, took out the clothes and shoes to change into from the cabinet, and turned to go into Chunxiao's room.

She had just changed when Xiao Nianchun entered the courtyard: "Second brother, second sister-in-law, are you ready?"

Xia Qiu hurried out of the courtyard: "Little aunt, speak quietly. Those two are sleeping."

After speaking, she whispered: "My eldest uncle's wife is going too. He is waiting for us at the regiment's bus stop."

Seeing Xiao Mu come out, the group didn't delay any further and quickly left the house with their things.

They hurried to the regiment's bus stop and unexpectedly saw Fu Mu and Fu's eldest sister-in-law.

Just as Xiao Fu and Xiao Mu were preparing to go up and greet them, they saw Xiao's eldest uncle's wife. After Xiao Mu called out to her, she smiled at Fu's mother and daughter-in-law: "Mother-in-law, did you also receive the news?"

Fu Mu had already learned the situation from Xiao's eldest uncle's wife: "Same as you. I've been worried about Chuxue these past few days. This morning I really couldn't sit still, so I simply asked for leave to go check on the situation. I didn't expect to meet Chuxue's eldest uncle's wife here and only then learn that the birth had happened."

Hearing that the in-laws hadn't received a phone call either, Xiao Mu felt relieved: "We were worried too. Xia Qiu was preparing to go, so we thought to call and ask first. Only then did we learn that the birth had already happened."

While they were talking, the bus arrived.

As soon as the group sat down on the bus, Xiao Fu bought tickets for all seven people.

Fu's mother and daughter-in-law felt a bit embarrassed, but after pushing and refusing for a long time without getting the ticket money across, they gave up.

The whole group talked about Chuxue and the triplets all the way, their excitement affecting everyone around them.

Coincidentally, there was a military wife from the regiment's family compound on the bus. Hearing them chat, she curiously asked: "The ones you're talking about can't be the sister-in-law of Vice Regiment Commander Fu of the First Regiment, can they?"

Xiao Mu said with pride: "Yes, it's his wife. That's my daughter."

Someone nearby asked: "Did she really give birth to triplets?"
