Chapter 354 - 0354: Fun with Raising a Child 2_1
Before Guan Cheng and Lu Tianjun could respond, Xibao cheerfully stretched out his little paws towards them.
Feng Qingxue was on the verge of despair at the situation.
Guan Cheng skillfully cradled Xibao, who, in turn, squealed with delight, his mouth full of drool.
"Put him in the cradle when you’re tired," Feng Qingxue advised.
Everyone adored Xibao. The cradle, which looked rather plain and worn but was extremely precious, was picked up by Lu Tianjun and Guan Cheng for a dollar at a flea market. It was made of precious purple sandalwood. Inside, there was a small mattress made of fresh cotton, along with a tiny pillow and quilt in a vivid hue with broken floral patterns. The cradle was not only exquisite but also very soft and comfortable.
With older children taking care of the younger ones at home, the adults had a lot less to worry about.
Feng Qingxue first washed Lu Jiang’s dirty clothes and Xibao’s diapers, placing them on a rope inside the house to dry. Then she dismantled all the military clothes that Lu Jiang brought back. The fabric scraps from both the inside and outside were rather worn with several parts patched up. There were twisted stitches and several holes that hadn’t been mended yet.
Lu Jiang returned wearing a thin suit pants and a cashmere suit. There were worn areas at the knees and elbows.
Opening the luggage he brought back, Feng Qingxue took out a pile of washed and unwashed clothes. Not one piece was intact. The most worn parts were still the knees and elbows. Some clothes had noticeable bullet and knife holes. Near these holes were faint, unwashed blood stains permanently attached to the fabric.
Feng Qingxue’s eyes intermittently filled with tears. Then she saw the liberation shoes he had taken off. The soles of the shoes were hole-ridden, filled with melting snow.
