Chapter 1265: Chapter 1265: Going to the Countryside 4

Just as Wang Dachun thought of Feng Qingxue and Fubao, he saw Fubao her with a willow basket picking wildflowers on the roadside, humming a song. He didn’t know what she was singing, but it sounded very pleasant.

"Fubao, why are you here alone?" With such a careful cousin, would she really let her daughter go out by herself?

As soon as his words fell, Guan Yu’s head popped out from behind the stack of firewood, holding a grass insect woven from wheat straw, and said with a cheerful smile, "Big cousin, there’s me. What are you up to? Weren’t you supposed to pick up new sent-down youths? I heard they are from the Capital. How are they? Are they as delicate as the previous ones, complaining that our pots and stoves are to blame when they burn the rice?"

Wang Dachun knocked on his head, "Don’t let Fubao out of your sight!"

"Got it, big cousin, but you haven’t answered my question," Guan Yu said, clearly interested in those sent-down youths.

"What is there to say? They all look the same. How they really are, we’ll see by their future actions. I won’t chat with you any longer, wasting my time. I need to call two sent-down youths to arrange for the newcomers."

Those two, a male and a female sent-down youth, served as the heads of the sent-down youth station.

In matters of precedence, seniority determined leadership; the station always needed a couple of people in charge to alleviate the brigade’s burden.

Guan Yu rubbed his head and called out to Fubao, "Sister, let’s go. But you can’t take the flowers you picked indoors where Zhuangzhuang might touch them. You can put them in your room or brother’s room, okay?"

It wasn’t until they returned home that they discovered Zhuangzhuang was actually allergic to pollen. His reaction almost terrified the entire family.

Feng Qingxue, still frightened, kissed her youngest son, and Little Zhuangzhuang immediately returned a kiss, "Mommy!"

If Lu Jiang were here, he would have been green with jealousy. That little rascal was taking advantage of his absence again, secretly kissing his wife’s mouth. One kiss didn’t seem enough; he followed up with several more in succession.

"Zhuangzhuang, you’re secretly kissing Mommy again!" Fubao ran in pitter-patter.

Feng Qingxue first checked Fubao’s hands and body, "Fubao, did you go to pick flowers? Have you washed your hands when you came back? Did you get any pollen on you...?"

Following her in, Guan Yu chuckled, "Auntie, don’t worry, Fubao’s flower basket is in our house, set in a vase. I made sure Fubao washed her hands before coming inside. I even changed her into a clean apron, so there’s no pollen to worry about, thus not affecting Zhuangzhuang."

Hearing his name, Zhuangzhuang turned his head and looked up at Guan Yu and Fubao with bright, sparkling eyes, "Brother! Sister!"

His articulation was clear and fluent.

"Zhuangzhuang is such a good boy. How about I take you out to play?" Compared to Dundun and Xiongxiong, her two younger brothers who didn’t want to come back after going out since arriving at Wanglou Brigade, Fubao preferred little Zhuangzhuang who was a lot like her.

Zhuangzhuang smiled and drooled, but he simply wouldn’t leave his mother’s arms.

"Alright, Zhuangzhuang, you play with brother and sister inside, Mommy’s going to cook." All over Wanglou Brigade, there were wildflowers of all colors. In recent years, apricot, peach, and pear blossoms had also begun to appear. Although they were now withering, Feng Qingxue dared not take Zhuangzhuang outside and instead focused on doing the laundry and cooking at home.

Carrying a basket, Feng Qingxue went into the private plot to pick vegetables. While there, she saw Wang Dachun leading two sent-down youths, a man and a woman, back from the fields. The man seemed to be named Chen Yuan, and the woman Liao Aidang—they were currently the top managers at the sent-down youth station.

"Big cousin!" Feng Qingxue called out, earning a side glance from Chen Yuan and Liao Aidang once again.
