Chapter 1562: Why Are You Being Shy With Me Now?

In the days that followed, after training ended, Fu Yan Cheng would go to the carpenter's to help; within a few days, three cribs were finished.

All the railings were sanded by Fu Yan Cheng, the father himself; they were very smooth. Seeing the finished product, Fu Yan Cheng felt full of accomplishment.

He found a few young soldiers to help carry the three small beds back.

Along the way, many people gathered to watch. Upon learning these beds were for triplets, they began discussing in small groups: "The beds are good, but how much did they cost? They really don't know how to live frugally."

"Exactly, showing off so much. Who else is like them?"

"They didn't spend your money. You're really worrying over nothing."

"We're just talking; what's it to you?"

"People building a crib for their children; what's it to you?"

"Hey, what's wrong with you? Are you trying to pick a fight with us?"

"Alright, alright, say less. It's just a small matter; why are you arguing?"

Liu Chuxue had no idea that making a few cribs could cause an argument. When she heard the commotion outside and came out, she saw Fu Yan Cheng had already led people into the courtyard.

Fu Yan Cheng prioritized practicality, so he made the beds slightly larger than the dimensions Liu Chuxue had specified. However, this meant the room would need to be rearranged, otherwise these three cribs truly wouldn't fit.

Liu Chuxue and Auntie Wei carried the triplets into the room where Auntie Wei lived, and only then did they let the work begin.

With many hands, the work was light; it didn't take long before everything was arranged.

Liu Chuxue poured brown sugar water for those who helped and brought out her own date cakes: "Everyone, wash your hands and rest a while."

After washing their hands, these soldiers didn't rush to leave. They all leaned against the window outside Auntie Wei's room, peering at the triplets rolling over on the bed. Their eyes sparkled: "Hey, this kid looks like soldier material. Look how agile he is rolling over."

"One is manageable, but three are hard to keep track of. No wonder our Deputy Regiment Commander was so anxious to get cribs with railings; he runs off as soon as training ends."

Liu Chuxue invited everyone to come eat. Those soldiers felt too shy; they waved their hands reservedly: "No need, Sister-in-law. Keep it for yourself."

Seeing them like this, Liu Chuxue could only look at Fu Yan Cheng.

Fu Yan Cheng had just washed his hands: "That's my wife. These date cakes were made by your Sister-in-law with her own hands. If you miss this chance, you won't get another. Don't regret it."

They had heard Deputy Battalion Commander Shen from next door bragging often about the Deputy Regiment Commander's wife's superb cooking skills, especially her pastries, which were truly unmatched and delicious.

Before, a group of grown men felt too shy. Now that the Deputy Regiment Commander had spoken, what was there left to hesitate about?

The moment the date cakes touched their lips, their eyes lit up. Their speed was unmatched. Several plates of date cakes were gone in no time, and each of them still seemed somewhat unsatisfied.

After drinking the brown sugar water Liu Chuxue helped brew, they thanked Liu Chuxue and did not stay any longer.

Each one was eager to return and show off to their fellow soldiers.

With these small beds equipped with railings, Auntie Wei and Liu Chuxue saved a lot of trouble. Even when the babies slept, they no longer needed to watch them constantly.

The weather grew warmer day by day. Liu Chuxue was busy making spring clothes for the little ones, thinking of taking them out for a walk when it got warm.

Just thinking about this sparked new ideas.

The day Fu Yan Cheng returned, Liu Chuxue approached him: "Yan Cheng, I have something to tell you."

Fu Yan Cheng saw she seemed shy: "What is it? Just say it. Why are you being shy with me now?"
