Chapter 1279: Chapter 1279: Great Devotion 7

Hearing Feng Qingxue’s words, Zheng Huihui wiped the sweat from her forehead and picked up the bucket she and Zhou Zhou had carried in, pouring its contents into the water tank while saying, "It’s fine, we’re idle anyway, might as well treat it as exercise. Don’t you think so, Zhou Zhou? We really should exercise more."

Zhou Zhou silently nodded, his eyes involuntarily drifting towards Zhuangzhuang.

"Do you want to hold him?" Feng Qingxue suddenly asked, feeling that Zhou Zhou was much more interesting than Zheng Huihui.

Through nearly two months of interaction, she had discovered something interesting about Zhou Zhou, really very interesting, just not sure if anyone else had noticed.

Zhou Zhou was so startled by Feng Qingxue’s words that he almost jumped, frantically waving his hands, "No no no, I’m afraid I’ll drop him."

"You won’t, Zhuangzhuang is very light, only about twenty-something pounds, much lighter than the bucket of water you carried." Feng Qingxue placed Zhuangzhuang into Zhou Zhou’s arms, teaching her the correct way to hold him so that Zhuangzhuang felt comfortable.

Zhou Zhou, holding Zhuangzhuang, dared not move, "He’s really beautiful!"

Zhou Zhou couldn’t help but express her admiration, "He’s the most beautiful child I’ve ever seen, without a doubt."

Upon hearing such praise, Zhuangzhuang squinted his eyes and rested his chin on her shoulder, which terrified Zhou Zhou, making her go stiff and look towards Feng Qingxue, "Is he angry?"

Did she say something wrong? Shouldn’t have called him beautiful?

Yes, that must be it.

Little boys shouldn’t be called beautiful, but in her eyes, Zhuangzhuang really was beautiful, with brows and eyes like a painting, more delicate and exquisite than the white jade doll her grandmother had left her, making her wish she could forever hold him in her palms.

"No!" Feng Qingxue glanced at her youngest son and denied Zhou Zhou’s assumption, "He wants to sleep."

As if to prove that Mom wasn’t lying, Zhuangzhuang yawned and rubbed his eyes with his little hands.

Hearing the yawn he let out, Zhou Zhou said, "Then I should give him back to you!"

Feng Qingxue couldn’t help but chuckle and reach out to take her youngest son back into her arms.

Once in her arms, Zhuangzhuang gripped her clothes with his little hands, closing his eyes contentedly.

Looking at Zhou Zhou with some envy, Zheng Huihui often helped out at the Lu Family’s house, and Feng Qingxue had given her food, fabric, and daily necessities as thanks, but she had never, like today, handed over her child for Zhou Zhou to hold.

Everyone knew how much Feng Qingxue valued her youngest son. Some said that letting someone hold Zhuangzhuang was a sign of Feng Qingxue’s trust.

This statement alone was sufficient to illustrate the importance of Zhuangzhuang in Feng Qingxue’s heart.

Despite feeling extremely envious of Zhou Zhou, Zheng Huihui did not step forward.

Seeing that Zhuangzhuang had fallen asleep, Zhou Zhou turned around, took her hand, and said to Feng Qingxue, "Comrade Qingxue, we’re heading back now. We’ll come to visit you and Zhuangzhuang again when we have time."

As usual, they walked on the road back to the Youth League point, and met Guan Cheng who was returning from his medical practice, nodding to each other in greeting.

They had met at the Lu Family’s home, only exchanging hellos.

Having heard that Guan Cheng and Guan Yu were orphans taken in by the Lu Family and Lu Tianzhi was Lu Jiang’s nephew, Zheng Huihui had always been indifferent towards them, nowhere near as enthusiastic as she was about the five children of the Lu Family.

Her thoughts were simple: only those who helped her deserved more interaction, otherwise, it was a waste of time.

Under such an attitude from Zheng Huihui, Zhou Zhou smiled awkwardly.

Guan Cheng didn’t take it to heart. He was in a hurry to get home because he had promised Xibao to take him to catch "Golden Cicadas" that night, which were cicadas before shedding their exoskeletons, locally known as "Golden Cicadas."
