Back to the 60s: The Struggle Career of a Charmed Wife

Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue donned their new military uniforms, which were crisp and imposing.

Xibao’s eyes widened as she stared blankly for a moment, then suddenly she grabbed her own jacket hem, stretching it out enough to fit a soccer ball beneath, twirling around her parents, "Mommy, I want new clothes too! A hat, a star!"

The chubby little hand pointed at the red stars on their hats, her face full of longing.

Feng Qingxue squatted down to be eye to eye with her, "Xibao, look, mommy and daddy’s clothes are both green."

"Green!" Xibao blinked her big eyes, so what?

"The grass outside, it’s green too. If Xibao wears green clothes and rolls on the grass or hides in the bushes, mommy and daddy won’t be able to find Xibao. We’d only be able to do this!" Feng Qingxue purposefully looked away, forming her hands into a megaphone shape by her mouth, "Where’s Xibao, where’s Xibao? Where did our Xibao go? Ask the uncles, aunts, brothers, and sisters, have you seen our Xibao? When it gets dark and mommy and daddy can’t find Xibao, we’ll have to go home alone, leaving Xibao behind on the prairie."

Xibao dove into her arms, "No! Baby also wants to be pretty."

Hugging Feng Qingxue’s neck, she wriggled like a twist of licorice.

Now three years old, the little one’s speech was becoming more fluent, and her ideas were more pronounced.
