Chapter 502: Chapter 0502: The First Word, Daddy 1_1

Although Feng Qingxue was somewhat disappointed about this, Lu Jiang’s reply was within her expectations.

He did not want his wife and child to endure the hardships of long-distance travel, and he was even more worried that they would not be able to adapt to the harsh plateau climate. But being his wife, being Xibao’s mother, didn’t Feng Qingxue miss him? Didn’t she want her son to see his father when he began recognizing people?

Xibao still doesn’t know what a father is, doesn’t recognize his own father.

Feng Qingxue was worried that the father and son would be like strangers when they met.

Xibao...

She glanced at her chubby son splashing around in the bathtub, "Xibao, when will you start calling him daddy?"

The sun is scorching, and the water is warm from its heat.

Therefore, Xibao had grown to love baths recently, rolling in the dust every day, and upon returning home, would demand his mother to bathe him, because after dirtying his clothes, his mother would strip him and put him in the bathtub.

Feng Qingxue held up Lu Jiang’s picture in front of Xibao, "Look, this is daddy, now call together, daddy!"

For about half a year, the photo was no longer as clear as when it was first developed due to all the touching. Thankfully, she had specifically requested the photographer to develop several more copies. All the photos were like this.

"Momma!" Xibao sat in the water, splashing it around. He glanced at the photo, his unfathomable little eyes stared at his mother.

Feng Qingxue squatted by the tub, pointing at the handsome and upright husband on the family picture, "Xibao, look, that’s your daddy. You’re already over a year old, you should learn to call daddy. You already know how to say momma, it’s not good to not learn this word just because daddy isn’t at home. Daddy is a soldier, a hero, the pride of our whole family."

Xibao extended his chubby little hand and pointed at the photo of Feng Qingxue, showing his bare milk-white teeth, "Momma!"

"Right, this is momma, this is baby, this is daddy." Feng Qingxue pointed out each person in the photo to her son, with her finger landing finally on Lu Jiang, "Can you call him daddy? When daddy comes back, you can shout out daddy loudly, daddy will certainly be happy."

Xibao, tilting his head, suddenly pointed at the doorway and shouted out loud, "Daddy!"

Feng Qingxue abruptly turned her head, but saw a military man she did not recognize standing at their door.

He looked to be in his thirties, wearing somewhat worn summer military uniform, exuding an imposing aura, his face hardened by the elements. But he only had a luggage bag in one hand, and his right shoulder, where his arm should have been, was bare.

"Who are you?" Feng Qingxue stood up, a guess forming in her mind.

The man set down his luggage bag, and gave her a military salute with his left hand, "Zhao Anbang."

So, it was really him.

Feng Qingxue hurriedly said, "Brother Anbang, don’t stand outside, come in." She called out for Song Gang to find Lu’s father.

All the children had gone to school, only Song Gang was still at home.

"On my way, ma’am!" Feng Qingxue had given Song Gang two pieces of egg cakes earlier to eat in the house, so Xibao wouldn’t see and try to snatch them away. When Feng Qingxue called him, he had just finished eating. He wiped his mouth and ran out from the hall. He looked at Zhao Anbang, and upon Feng Qingxue’s indication, bowed and respectfully called out ’uncle’, then ran towards the cowshed.

"Gangzi? Is this the child Brother Cao adopted?" There were no secrets about such matters in the military, so Zhao Anbang had already heard about it.

Feng Qingxue gave a faint smile, "Yes, Brother Cao and Sister Xinru are stationed at the border, so it’s inconvenient for them to come pick him up. They’ve entrusted him to us, and send us money and Grain Tickets every few months."
