Chapter 1105: Earnest Advice 6

Grandpa Lu turned around and asked Xibao, "Xibao, what about you? How about not going with mom?"

The old man spoke very pitifully, almost begging.

"I'm very obedient!" Xi Bao said as a matter of course, meaning that she listened to her mother instead of Grandpa Lu San. "I and my mother, I have fruit to eat with my mother."

"We also have fruit in our fields. This year we have a special melon crop. We have planted two mu of land. The watermelons will be ripe in a few days. When great grandfather picked the watermelons, he deliberately broke one and took out the red watermelon flesh for Xibao to eat." Grandpa Lu's eyes turned and he immediately had an idea. "Great grandfather's family has planted a few small melons in their private plot. When they are ripe, they will be picked and given to Xibao to eat."

Xi Bao shook his head and said, "Grandpa, eat!"

"Oh, Xibao, how come you are so well behaved? You know how to respect your great grandfather at such a young age!" Grandpa Lu patted his chest and praised Xibao, "It would be better if you could stay and live with grandpa."

Why are you still saying this? Xi Bao was a little annoyed and buried her face in Feng Qingxue's arms.

"Mom, I want to eat meat!" Having not eaten meat for several days, Xibao was drooling with greed.

Xi Bao jumped up and cheered, "Thank you, Grandpa, thank you, Brother Acheng!"

Guan Cheng wore a straw raincoat and went to the chicken coop and caught the old hen that Lu's father mentioned. He cut its throat with a knife, and blood gushed into the bowl. The old hen started to flutter and was dying. Feng Qingyun had already quickly boiled a pot of water and poured it into the vegetable basin.

Xibao watched from behind, seeing Guan Cheng press the old hen into the basin of water and pluck the chicken's feathers quickly.

"Thank you, Grandpa. Thank you, Brother Acheng!" Fubao's clumsy fingers got the rope tangled, but he did not forget to join in the fun.

Mom is the best, so of course I should live with her.

Father Lu immediately said, "Acheng, kill the old hen at home and stew it later." He couldn't let his grandson and granddaughter go without a bite of meat before they left. Anyway, the old hen didn't lay eggs anymore, so there was no need to wait until the festival to kill it.

Guan Cheng responded with a smile.

Grandpa Lu San was still unwilling to give up in the main hall. After being rejected again and again, he sighed and said, "How about bringing Xi Bao home more often in the future? When you two were at home, our Wanglou Brigade was really prosperous!"

"Third Grandpa, Jiang and I are soldiers, so we can't decide on our own vacations." Feng Qingxue was soft-hearted and couldn't bear to see the old men show disappointment. After thinking for a while, she said, "How about this, we can't come back. Every spring, Dad or Cheng can go to the army and bring Xibao home for a while! I believe Xibao must be very happy."

The time was chosen for early spring because God’s mercy is most needed during spring ploughing, and also because border troops can enter and exit easily in summer and autumn, but this is not the case in winter, when the mountains are often blocked by heavy snow.

At this point, Feng Qingxue couldn't help but say, "In fact, God really has no friendship with Xi Bao! His natural luck is better than that of ordinary people, but it is definitely not good enough to affect the climate change of heaven and earth. Even if there is Xi Bao, you can't harvest an acre of crops by planting a grain of wheat. If the wind and rain are not good when Xi Bao is at home, you can't blame our Xi Bao!"

"Not bad! Not bad! Definitely not bad!" Having a chance to have Xibao come back is worse than having no chance at all. Thinking about the years when Feng Qingxue and Xibao were not at home, the harvest was getting worse and worse, and there was almost not enough to eat.
