Chapter 1013: Chapter 1013: Xibao’s Birthday 2

Although they had never been in close contact with a radio, the Lu Family’s two children were definitely not unfamiliar with it; Xibao had seen one at Old Chief’s house, and Fubao often frequented the broadcast room in the army, naturally having seen a radio.

But everyone cherished the radio and would not let the children fiddle with it recklessly, so their curiosity was very strong.

Lu Jiang held his daughter and brought her close to the radio, letting her touch it. He felt that girls were just gentle and adorable; she carefully touched it a bit and then withdrew her hand, unlike Xibao who was almost glued to the radio.

Seeing Xibao’s eager movements, Lu Jiang reached out and slapped the back of his hand!

"Dad!" Xibao, touching his retracted hand, glared angrily at his father.

Feng Qingxue, seeing that neither child was interested in the cream cake, told Feng Qingyun to take it and eat it.

"Xibao, come here, I will tell you why the radio has no door, and even if it had one, you wouldn’t be able to find the person talking inside."

Hearing his mother’s call, Xibao swiftly turned around and ran to her, tugging at her hand, "Mom, tell me quick, why are there people talking in the radio, but I can’t see anyone? I found a small door, but dad wouldn’t let me pry it open, and he hit me! Look, my hand is all red and it hurts a lot, you need to blow on it for me."

Feng Qingxue checked and saw that Lu Jiang had been measured in his slap; there was no redness or swelling, but she still carefully blew on his hand, "That’s a small door for the batteries, of course dad couldn’t let you pry it open."

Xibao pouted, "I just wanted to see if there was someone inside!"

"Look at you, you’re so big, and the radio is so small, the door is also very small, how could you get inside? Even if you did get in, you wouldn’t find anyone because there isn’t anyone inside. It’s like a telephone, you can hear someone else’s voice, and when you talk on this side, the other side can hear you too, but you haven’t crawled into the telephone, right?"

"Oh yeah!" Xibao touched his bald head, "But mom, why is it that there’s no one in the radio yet someone is singing inside, and Sister Xiaoyue can hear me speak without me crawling into the phone? Tell me, mom!"

For a moment, Feng Qingxue didn’t know where to start.

However, she quickly had an idea, smiling at the Little Baldy in front of her, "Xibao, Old Gold who lives in the cowshed knows about these things, how about you go ask him?"

"Old Gold?" Xibao thought for a moment, "He’s not at the cowshed."

"Not there?" Feng Qingxue was slightly taken aback.

Feng Qingyun, placing the uneaten cream cake and the other two boxes into the cabinet, turned around and said with a smile, "They all moved out of the cowshed and live in the new thatched cottages built before the busy farming season. Old Xu and Mother Xu have moved there too, and several other people have come, from Shanghai, both men and women, each looking very old and feeble."

Feng Qingxue immediately asked, "Are they all in the thatched cottages now?" Presumably those who came from Shanghai were He Qingyin and the others.

Feng Qingyun shook her head, "How could they be allowed to slack off in the cottages during the day? They all went to work in the fields. Our brigade has plenty of farming work to do, with spring sweet potatoes and spring peanuts that need planting. Plus, in another ten days or so, it will be time to harvest the wheat."

Today is the seventh day of April, and tomorrow is the eighth, which happens to be Xibao’s birthday.

Feng Qingyun gasped, "Ah, Sister, it’s Xibao’s birthday, Xibao’s birthday is tomorrow!"

"We hurried back to celebrate Xibao’s birthday, or else we would have returned later," Feng Qingxue said with a smile. "Ajiang, stop worrying about the radio for now and go see what work in the fields needs your help."
