CHAPTER 1927: CHAPTER 1927: YE YAN’S BIOLOGICAL MOTHER 7

Watermelon is cooling, Feng Qingxue only allowed her daughter and youngest son to eat one piece each. When she saw Dundun eating a second piece, she stopped him and turned to call Zhang Sister and the orderly over to eat the other half.

The watermelons in the Great Northwest are huge. This one was considered small, weighing only seven or eight jin.

"In a while, send one to the two guards staying home," Feng Qingxue instructed.

The watermelon was indeed very sweet, and both Zhang Sister and the orderly couldn’t stop praising it.

"We mustn’t waste the leftover rind. I’ll peel it and make a simple stir-fried watermelon rind, it’s very refreshing."

Hearing what Zhang Sister said, Feng Qingxue smiled and replied, "Okay, go ahead. In this hot weather, we need to eat something light and refreshing. It’s good for health. While Lu Jiang and I were not at home during this period, how did they eat? They didn’t eat anything unhealthy, right?"

Zhang Sister quickly said, "Most of the time, Comrade Guo Cui from Chief Ye’s family called them over for meals. Sometimes, Comrade Guo Cui brought dishes over to cook at our place. I and the orderly didn’t cook much, mostly just breakfast. They usually ate similar to when you and Lu Jiang are home. We rarely made greasy dishes; I kept an eye on them."

Feng Qingxue nodded, "That’s good, don’t indulge them."

"Mom, I behave well," Zhuangzhuang couldn’t help but speak up, "the one who doesn’t listen is Fourth Brother. He always wants to eat meat. The day before yesterday, he even ran to Grandma’s to eat iron pot stewed old goose."

Grandma is Guo Yan from Wang Xinsheng’s family. Feng Qingxue asked, "Where did the old goose come from?"

"I know," Fubao spoke up, "it was sent by a relative from Grandma’s family, a goose they raised for three or four years. Grandma asked the chef to stew it all day. It happened to be a day off from school. Erxiong waited all day. Grandma invited us over to eat and even gave each of us a boiled goose egg. We all felt a bit embarrassed."

Zhang Sister laughed, "Erxiong is lively and active, it’s not really wrong for him to want to eat meat. Even in the army, which soldier doesn’t want to eat meat every day? It’s just the conditions don’t allow it. Comrade Qingxue, don’t always complain about him."

This might be one of the reasons.

Just as they were talking about Erxiong, he burst in from outside, sweat rolling down his face like broken pearls. He lifted his T-shirt to wipe his face, "Mom, come quickly, Brother Ye is being blocked by a bad woman!"

Feng Qingxue stood up abruptly, "Who is blocking him?"

"That bad woman who didn’t want Ye Yan, his mom!" They had long known from Ye Yan that his mom and dad divorced and she didn’t want him. When Ye Yan went to find her, she even scolded him.

Kids’ thoughts are simple; a mom who doesn’t want her child must be a bad woman.

Feng Qingxue was worried about Ye Yan, and quickly stepped out, "Erxiong, lead the way, where are they?"

"I was just learning to ride a bike, and the bad woman rushed over. My bike nearly hit her." Lu Erxiong led the way while chattering on, "She went up to Brother Ye and said she was his mom. She said she has been thinking about him day and night, missing him so much it made her heart ache, and finally couldn’t resist coming to find him."

"Bullshit!" Feng Qingxue couldn’t help but blurt out.

If she really missed Ye Yan, why hadn’t she cared about him all these years?

Tang Xin, Ye Xiangqian’s ex-wife, was an art soldier. For years she had toured with her troupe for performances to offer condolences. It’s not like she never went to the military unit where their home was, but did she ever visit Ye Yan? Not once.
