Chapter 354: Raising Children 2
Without waiting for Guan Cheng and Lu Tianjun to respond, Xi Bao happily stretched out her little paws towards them.
Feng Qingxue was helpless about this behavior.
Guan Cheng held Xibao very skillfully, and Xibao was babbling happily with her saliva glistening.
"Put him in the cradle when you're tired." Feng Qingxue warned.
Xibao is truly the apple of everyone's eye. This cradle, which looks very simple and badly worn, was bought by Lu Tianjun and Guan Cheng from a flea market for one dollar. The wood is extremely precious rosewood, and it is covered with a small mattress made of new cotton, a small pillow and a small quilt. It has a red background with small flowers, and is very bright, soft and comfortable.
It is much easier for adults at home when there are older children taking care of the younger ones.
Feng Qingxue first washed Lu Jiang's dirty clothes and Xi Bao's diapers and hung them on the hemp rope in the house to dry, and then took apart all the military cotton jacket and trousers that Lu Jiang had worn. The removed pieces of cloth were torn both on the surface and the lining, with patches in several places, crooked stitches, and several holes that had not been patched in time.
Lu Jiang came back wearing autumn clothes and cashmere clothes, and his knees and elbows were all worn out.
Opening the luggage bag he brought, Feng Qingxue took out a pile of washed and unwashed clothes. Not a single piece was intact, inside or out. The most severely worn areas were still the knees and elbows. The holes on several pieces of clothing were obviously caused by bullet holes and knife insertions. You could vaguely see unwashed blood stains nearby, permanently attached to them.
Feng Qingxue's eyes immediately turned red when she saw the Liberation shoes he had taken off. There were holes in the soles, which were filled with snow water.
"You're such a fool! Don't you know to change your shoes when you get home? It's not like you don't have shoes at home!" Your feet soaked in the snow water should have been frozen and numb by now, right?
The clothes I packed away have not been washed because the days are short and the nights are long in winter, so it’s time to cook dinner.
Feng Qingxue rubbed her eyes, threw the clothes into the laundry basket, made a bowl of vegetable puree for Xibao, asked Lu Tianjun and Guan Cheng to feed him, and then prepared dinner for the family.
Lu Jiang was sleeping soundly. Feng Qingxue left some food for him but did not wake him up.
As a result, he didn't get to eat the reserved food and slept until the next morning.
Returning home was like returning to a warm harbor. He felt completely relaxed. He no longer needed to be on guard or rack his brains to think about how to break through the enemy's defenses. Even the crying of the children at night could not wake him up.
The first thing Lu Jiang did when he opened his eyes was to look at his wife who was sleeping soundly and his baby son who was sleeping inside her.
He was covered with a quilt alone, and the mother and daughter were covered with another quilt.
The wife was lying on her side facing the bed, and one could vaguely see the back of her neck, which was white, smooth and rosy, exposed from under her thick black hair. Her son was resting his head on her arm, facing her chest, with his two little fists placed in front of him. He was sleeping soundly, with two obvious blushes on his cheeks. I don't know what he was dreaming about, and he was smacking his lips, with a little saliva flowing out of his mouth.
Seeing this scene, Lu Jiang immediately forgot all the ups and downs on the border.
Isn’t it for the safety and happiness of your family that you fight so hard outside?
He lay sideways, bent his right arm, rested his elbow on the bed, and held his head in his hand. He just looked at his wife and children quietly, his heart filled with tender affection, and he wished time would stop forever.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
I don’t know how long it took, but there was a rooster crowing outside. Xibao stretched and opened his eyes.
