Chapter 1270: Chapter 1270: The Man Visits the Woman’s Home 1

The lives of the educated youth had gradually fallen into place, and the Wanglou Brigade was calm and peaceful.

The happiest event for the Lu Family was that Zhuangzhuang had begun to toddle. Propped up by his mother’s arm, he could take a few steps on the ground, even though his legs were always shaking as if he were about to fall.

This was progress!

"Mama, walk!" Zhuangzhuang pointed at the front door.

Feng Qingxue asked, "You want to go out, don’t you, Zhuangzhuang?"

Zhuangzhuang nodded his little head, which had only a sparse layer of soft, yellow fuzz on it.

This was a sign of insufficient qi and blood.

Dundun and Xiongxiong’s hair, on the other hand, was dark and thick. Of course, recently they had been brought by Xibao along with Guan Cheng and others to the barber to have their heads shaved into Little Baldies. It was said that Dundun got shaved obediently, whereas Xiongxiong cried his heart out, vying with Xibao when he was younger.

Feng Qingxue put an army green octagonal cap she had sewn on Zhuangzhuang and, with her help, he finally made it to the front door.

"Ah!" Zhuangzhuang revealed his two front teeth.

His teeth had also come in later than his two brothers. Dundun and Xiongxiong already had eight teeth each, top and bottom.

As mother and son were gazing at each other, Xibao ran back covering his mouth with both hands, tears welling up in his eyes and a whimpering sound coming from beneath his palms. Upon closer listen, Feng Qingxue heard him calling for mama.

"What happened? Xibao? What’s wrong with your mouth?" Feng Qingxue picked up her youngest son and brought him close to her eldest.

Xibao refused to let go for a while, and tears began to roll out of his eyes.

"What happened?" Seeing this, Feng Qingxue immediately grew anxious and tried to pry his hands away while holding her son. When she saw him pursing his lips tightly, revealing no clue, Feng Qingxue became even more frantic, "Tell me, Xibao, what happened?"

Seeing his mother almost in tears, Xibao opened his mouth.

"Mama, I lost my teeth, I’m now Little Gap-tooth!" Xibao burst into loud tears.

Feng Qingxue looked closely and saw that two of his front teeth had fallen out, leaving a gap whistling with air.

She thought something serious had happened when in fact, it was just his time to shed teeth.

Relieved, Feng Qingxue suppressed the urge to laugh and comforted him, "Don’t cry, Xibao. This means you are growing up. You were a little child with milk teeth before, and now that they have fallen out, you’ll soon grow adult teeth."

After coming back, she had wondered why Xibao, soon to be seven years old, hadn’t started shedding teeth yet. After all, he had been well-nourished and robust from childhood, different from those malnourished children. Others started shedding teeth at seven or eight, but his hadn’t budged until today, and to think two big front teeth had fallen out at once.

Upon hearing his mother’s words, Xibao sniffled and asked, "Really?"

"Of course. You will soon grow teeth just like dad’s and mom’s, adult teeth that are stronger for eating," Feng Qingxue comforted her eldest son in every way possible. "By the way, where are your fallen teeth?"

"Here." Xibao pulled out two front teeth from his pocket.

Seeing that her eldest son had remembered to pick up his fallen milk teeth and put them in his pocket, Feng Qingxue chuckled, "Throw your teeth under the bed, and they will grow back faster. But don’t stick your tongue in the gap where your teeth fell out, or the new ones will grow in crooked or jutting out, and that won’t look good at all."

Xibao thought for a moment, "Like a stone grinder? If the two big front teeth jut out, that would really look awful."

A stone grinder? Wasn’t that Chen Cancan’s son? Had he been sent back to Wanglou Brigade again?

Feng Qingxue frowned slightly. She hadn’t seen Stone Grinder since she had returned and didn’t know if he had buck teeth, "Mama hasn’t seen Stone Grinder, so I don’t know what his teeth are like."

Xibao oh-ed and then asked, "But why throw the teeth under the bed?"
