Chapter 1249: Chapter 1249: The Old Clam Produces a Pearl 4

Bai Xue’s daughter’s nickname was Yaya, and her formal name was Su Minmin, supposedly a name that Su Junlin took many days to finalize. Bai Xue had originally vetoed the name Su Xiuxiu. Yaya didn’t particularly resemble Bai Xue: her eyes weren’t particularly large or small, her nose neither flat nor prominent, and her face was neither round nor square. Her only attractive feature was her fair and clear skin. She looked very cute with her plump, white body.

Mother Yang sat for a while at the Lu Family’s house and then left, for she didn’t need to take care of Feng Qingxue, but she did need to tend to her own husband.

Bai Xue complained to Feng Qingxue, "Who do you think Yaya resembles? The more I look at her, the less I see myself in her. I hope she doesn’t end up looking like Old Su and his family. Each one of them irritates me every time I see them—none of them is remotely good-looking, always preoccupied with trivial household squabbles! Before I came here, Old Su’s sisters-in-law were having a fierce falling out, which only calmed down because of the recent revolutionary activities."

She had even meddled in their affairs; now she didn’t know who had won or lost, but since she hadn’t heard of Su Junshu getting a divorce, it showed that Liu Hongxiu was quite capable after all, not letting the other wives displace her.

Feng Qingxue smiled slightly, "You used to say it didn’t matter whether it was a boy or a girl, so what does it matter what she looks like?"

"For boys, it doesn’t really matter. Coming from a good family and having some talent, they won’t have trouble finding a pretty wife. But it’s different for girls. I finally managed to have a daughter; of course I want her to be more beautiful—the prettier the girl, the less trouble she’ll have marrying into a good family!" Bai Xue asserted confidently, "Don’t believe all that talk about valuing good family background and thoughts. It’s all nonsense. How many comrades really act on these beliefs? Most gaze first upon looks rather than anything else."

After listening, Feng Qingxue asked, "Is this based on your experience?"

Bai Xue coughed twice and did not speak.

"I’m telling you, Bai Xue, don’t keep passing down those ideas your family instilled in you as a child to your daughter. You’ve suffered enough yourself, why misguide the next generation?" Feng Qingxue said, "Your daughter’s situation is different from yours; she’s the lieutenant colonel’s late-life child and doesn’t need to struggle just to marry into a good household. What’s most important is to live her life earnestly and sincerely."

Bai Xue’s heart stirred, and she quietly lowered her head, precisely catching sight of Fubao’s round bright eyes.

Her eyes were beautiful, like two black gems set within liquid mercury, or like two small stars in the night sky.

Unbeknownst to Bai Xue, Fubao was already by her side, standing on tiptoes to peek at Yaya in her swaddle. When Bai Xue wasn’t looking, she stealthily reached out her little finger to touch Yaya’s cheek and whispered, "Sister!"

She quickly withdrew her hand, her face stern.

"What’s the matter? Don’t you like your sister?" Bai Xue deliberately brought her daughter closer to Fubao.

Fubao looked conflicted, "When she grows up, will she steal my hair clips? My necklace? My perfume?"

Bai Xue couldn’t help but laugh, "So that’s why you clamored for a brother instead of a sister when your mother was pregnant with triplets? Don’t worry, Yaya won’t take your things!"

Only then did Fubao show a sweet, endearing smile, looking exceptionally exquisite and pretty.

"Qingxue, you really know how to have kids!" Bai Xue said admiringly, "Xibao’s the best-looking boy in our compound, and Fubao’s the prettiest little girl. She will surely grow up to be as beautiful as you. The triplets too, each has their own merits, all with a smart and good-looking appearance—it’s as if we have a family of dragons and phoenixes."

Even Feng Qingyun was only slightly less capable than Feng Qingxue. Being young and deliberately making herself look plain, who knew how she would turn out in a few years? The title of the most beautiful girl in the performing arts troupe would surely be hers.

No sooner had she finished speaking than Xiongxiong woke up from his nap, crying, which then roused his brothers.

The chorus of crying ensued, with Yaya joining in, leaving Bai Xue flustered and no longer in the mood to talk about the adorableness of the triplets.
