Chapter 1219: Chapter 1219: Picking Up Xibao 6

Xibao didn’t pick up the chopsticks, "Yesterday morning, I promised Brother Xiaoyun that today we would go ride the big horse, and I forgot!"

His little face looked woeful, and his voice had a hint of crying, "Wuwuwa, I’ve become a bad kid, Mom, Grandpa, Xibao has turned into a bad kid who doesn’t keep his word!"

Feng Qingxue understood, but she didn’t dismiss it just because Xibao was young. Instead, she comforted him, "In a little while, let Grandpa take you to apologize to Brother Xiaoyun, okay? Grandpa brought some delicious food for Xibao, and you can share some with Brother Xiaoyun. If Brother Xiaoyun says he forgives you, then you won’t be a bad kid who breaks promises anymore, and you’ll still be the good Xibao."

Xibao immediately turned to urge Lu Father, "Grandpa, hurry up, after we finish eating we’ll go find Brother Xiaoyun. Grandpa, what delicious food did you bring for me? Brother Xiaoyun likes to eat peanuts, did you bring peanuts?"

"Sorry, Xibao, Grandpa didn’t bring peanuts," said Lu Father.

Before Xibao’s face could fall, Lu Father continued, "But Grandpa has brought some peanuts in their shells. You can give some to this Brother Xiaoyun you mentioned and let him fend for himself."

Xibao’s eyes instantly curved into crescents, "Grandpa, you’re so naughty!" He had been given quite the scare!

After the meal, Lu Father helped Xibao clean up the dining table, washed the bowls and chopsticks, then took a small half basket of peanuts. Feng Qingxue also added a piece of cured meat on top and then covered it with a cloth.

She patted her eldest son on the head, "Lead Grandpa to Uncle Zhao’s house."

"Mission guaranteed!"

With a clean and neat military salute, Xibao pulled Lu Father and left. Fubao followed hurriedly, "Grandpa, Brother, wait for me!"

Xibao turned back to look at her, "Aren’t you afraid of getting sunburned?"

Fubao held up the straw hat in her hand, revealing deep dimples on her cheeks.

"Alright, you come hold my hand and don’t run off," Xibao said, clearly impressed by his sister.

The brothers were definitely celebrities within the residential compound. When they met people who recognized them and saw Lu Father, who they found unfamiliar, they would ask, "Xibao, who are you out with? What do you call him?"

"My Grandpa!" Xibao answered crisply.

Lu Father clearly appreciated their kindness and revealed a smile that was aged yet still refined, "I am Lu Jiang’s father, Lu Zhiyuan. Our kids must have given you comrades quite some trouble, haven’t they?"

The other hurriedly waved their hands, "Not at all, not at all, Xibao is really well-behaved. The other day he even gave my son a handful of candy!"

Following her, a boy about eight or nine years old grinned at Xibao, revealing his missing teeth, "Xibao, when are we doing a military drill? I, Qin Daobao, am ready to follow orders and set out anytime!"

"Wait for my orders, wait for my orders!" Xibao pulled his hand out of Lu Father’s grip, waved it with a leader’s authority.

Seeing this scene, all the adults could do was smile at each other, sensing a friendly connection.

Lu Father found that, after walking through half of the residential compound, nine out of ten people they encountered greeted Xibao and only relaxed after learning his identity. The one remaining person hummed through their nose, their face full of disgust.

"Naughty!" As soon as she turned to leave, Fubao immediately complained to Lu Father, "Aunty hit her."

When Lu Father asked who it was, Fubao couldn’t answer, but Xibao immediately said, "Everyone calls her Lu Zhaodi, she’s really mean, cursing that my brother would die. When Aunty heard that, she hit her, and I kicked her too."
