Chapter 509: Chapter 0509: Mother and Son Journeying Westward 1_1

Noticing everyone’s gaze, Xibao quickly licked up the last remains at the bottom of his bowl, then flipped the bowl over, revealing the empty bottom to everyone. It was his way of announcing that he had finished all his food, leaving not a single bit.

"Hmmpf!"

"Hahaha!"

Everyone burst out laughing uncontrollably.

"Why is Xibao so endearing?" Mrs. Xu wiped her tears of laughter.

Xibao, unaware of the reason behind everyone’s laughter, joined in and giggled heartily.

His eyes squinted into a thin line, and his chubby face showed two deep dimples. No matter how one looked at him, he radiated an aura of joy.

Feng Qingxue said to Lu’s father, "When Ajiang sent me a letter last time, he was no longer at the front line. He was stationed at the headquarters of the entire military region, the capital of the autonomous region. The living conditions there must be far better than during the war."

Although the stationed place is more than three thousand meters above sea level, it’s not nested in high mountains or deep valleys. The conditions should be much better.

Moreover, Feng Qingxue’s space contains items like portable oxygen tanks, Rhodiola oral liquid, and there’s local special Rhodiola in the package Lu Jiang sent over.

She would search for space information and study how to prevent altitude sickness before her departure.

"If you say so, then go ahead." Actually, Lu’s father was still worried about Feng Qingxue taking Xibao to visit the soldiers on her own. What if some bad guys targeted the adorable Xibao?

Zhao Anbang, who was not working on the weekend, came to see Xibao again. Riding a bike with one hand, he laughed and said, "Uncle Lu, you don’t need to worry. The steward always cares for visiting military families. You just have to notify the train conductor, and all will be well."

Lu’s father was finally relieved upon hearing that.

Meanwhile, Chen Xueniang, in the bedroom, asked Feng Qingxue, "When will you set off? You’ve worked hard recently. The grains are just distributed. Shen Feihong and Zhou Yulan’s wedding is set on September 22nd, in two days from now."

Feng Qingxue glanced at the calendar. Today was November 3rd, the 18th day of the 9th lunar month.

Time flies. Unconsciously, winter was already fast approaching, with the Lunar calendar’s 23rd day marking the official beginning of winter.

This year’s harvest was especially easy because many teachers and students came to help. An extra two thousand acres of land only took half the time to harvest compared to last year. Wang Zhengguo had each person given ten kilograms of dried sweet potatoes and corn kernels when they left. Their happiness was beyond words.

With the high yield of corn and sweet potatoes, the Wanglou Brigade experienced another bountiful harvest. Each family had received sufficient food, apart from half a kilogram of cotton, three meters of cloth ticket, half a kilogram of peanut oil each, making everyone beam with joy.

"After attending their wedding, I will send a telegram to Lu Jiang about our departure date, then I’ll buy tickets for Xibao and me." Shen Feihong and Zhou Yulan had a hard time finding each other. Feng Qingxue would not miss their wedding for anything.

Shen Feihong and Zhou Yulan got married late because apart from Shen Feihong needing to secure three bombs and a siren, Zhang Yi’s marriage had not been settled until two months ago when he brought a sweetheart from work back home. She was the youngest daughter of the local machinery factory director; Zhang Tiezhu and Hong Damei were both very pleased and they got married the next day.

The wedding held in the city auditorium was simple but full of enthusiasm. No one faulted the Zhang family for not holding a banquet.

With sweets, water, sunflower seeds and a wedding host, the ceremony was an excellent and solemn occasion by all regards.
