Chapter 489: Chapter 0489 End of Training 1_1

Feng Qingxue held Xibao’s hand and shook it at Chen Xueniang, "Baby, say thank you, thank you, Aunt Chen."

"Mama!" Xibao turned around and nestled into her bosom, squirming back and forth, his split-crotch pants revealing his chubby little buttocks.

Chen Xueniang, knowing that Xibao started speaking late, didn’t mind and laughed as she stuffed a small brocade bag into the pocket of Xibao’s coat. The coat was made from red cloth with white flowers, and Zhou Yulan had considerately sewn a small square pocket on the right side for Xibao to store things, "Xibao, when will you be able to say more words? You’re already a year old."

Xibao turned around, stared at her, and said nothing.

"Stupid baby!" Feng Qingxue playfully scolded him with a laugh.

He walked very steadily, but learned to speak exceptionally slowly. All he could say was "Mama," and occasionally "Nai".

This "Nai" did not mean "grandmother," but referred to milk powder.

Feng Qingxue was not home during the day and only returned in the evening. She often made him formula at night, and after a while, she gradually weaned him. Until now, he hasn’t thought about breastfeeding.

Indeed, he was a little dunce.

But the so-called dunce was upset. He turned and headed towards Lu’s father, his little chubby legs intact, he jumped into Lu’s father’s arms. Lu’s father was overjoyed and lifted him up, "Oh my, Grandpa’s been missing you. Has Baby been missing Grandpa?"

Xibao’s response was to nuzzle against him, Lu’s father was over the moon.

Wang Cuilan and Chen Xueniang had not had children before and had not taken care of such small children. When Lu’s father and Xibao were affectionate, they both asked Feng Qingxue in unison: "Is Xibao okay? Will he get bowlegged? You’re a doctor, should you quickly rectify it? It won’t look good when he walks as he grows up."

Feng Qingxue grinned and said, "It’s fine. When he grows up a bit more, his legs will naturally straighten out."

"It must be because you didn’t want to bind his legs when Xibao was born." Lu’s father heard and suddenly interjected.

After the children in the countryside are born, many of them have their legs bound. But Feng Qingxue just didn’t want to do it.

"Dad, I’ve told you many times, whether the baby’s legs are straight or not has nothing to do with binding. When they are still fetuses, they curl up in the womb. After birth, their legs are still a little curled, but it has no impact on their future development. His legs might be a little curved when he just starts walking, but you can check again if they are straight after a year. Bowed lower limbs and knock knees have a lot to do with inheritance from parents. Some are caused by diseases or poor care. But binding the legs is actually harmful, it can affect the baby’s development. It makes him uncomfortable and impairs blood circulation."

Feng Qingxue loved Xibao deeply, how could she not pay attention to her son’s development? She had already checked Xibao’s legs using the methods suggested decades later and there was no sign of bowleggedness.

She was a doctor, her word should be the final say. The old folks acknowledged their understanding, but they still had doubts.

Feng Qingxue didn’t feel the need to persuade them continuously. She would let time prove it. Her precious boy would surely grow into a tall and strong man, with a pair of straight long legs.

The future long legs were still short at this time. He was holding Lu’s father’s hand, pointing outside and babbling.

"Do you want to go out?" Lu’s father asked.

Xibao responded by blinking his large eyes, his expression filled with desire.

Cheng Baoguo stood up and said, "This little guy really likes to play outside. Brother, you rest your legs, I’ll take Xibao out." Wang Fengmei was acquainted with Lu’s father, and Zhao Yide would definitely know his situation. Being too conspicuous outside was not ideal.
