Chapter 614: Chapter 0614 Successive Arrivals 2_1

Feng Qingxue saw them coming and rushed over to greet them.

"Sister-in-law, you must be tired from your journey. Xiaohan just finished cleaning the house. You can move in at any time." Even though Xibao constantly called Ye Zhengjun ’grandpa’, Lu Jiang and Ye Zhengjun usually addressed each other as brothers.

Hearing Feng Qingxue’s crisp and pleasing voice, and seeing her beautiful face, Guo Cui couldn’t hide the amazement in her eyes. "Wow, such a handsome young lady is rare to see. Old Ye, your men are truly fortunate! Comrade, is this your child? Is this Little Xibao that Old Ye keeps talking about?" Guo Cui asked while pointing at the chubby child who had returned to look for his mother when he realized she wasn’t following.

Upon hearing Guo Cui mention ’Xibao’, Xibao immediately pointed to his nose, loudly cheering, "BaoBao!"

"So your name is BaoBao? Not Xibao?" Guo Cui squatted down in front of him, her eyes meeting his and her face full of smiles.

"BaoBao!" Xibao insisted, his big eyes flickering.

Ye Zhengjun directly said to Feng Qingxue, "Qingxue, you and Xiao Sang escort your sister-in-law home. I’ll go over there to check if the two sentries have come down from the mountain. I need to know if they have finished passing on their duties to Comrade Zhu Rong."

Feng Qingxue quickly replied, "The two heroic sentries have come down. You go ahead, and I’ll escort my sister-in-law home."

Ye Zhengjun then walked away rapidly.

Guo Cui muttered to herself, "That stubborn old man, after thirty years he still hasn’t changed. He rushes off to someone else before I can catch my breath. Although I worry back in the capital, at least he is rushing off to his comrades."

Feng Qingxue smiled wryly, "With so many brothers looking out for you, there is nothing for you to worry about. This shows that Comrade Ye, the commander, is constantly concerned about his brothers. The two sentries have been holding their post on the mountains for five years. Only today, after someone could take over their duties, could they return to their base, so it’s understandably lively."

"Five years?" The expression on Guo Cui’s face changed. All her complaints about Ye Zhengjun turned into respect for the sentries. "I wasn’t lucky then, I should have arrived a few days later. Old Ye should have been the one to welcome the heroes back personally."

"You were already on your way here, the date of arrival was fixed. The decision for them to come down from the mountain was a recent occurrence; how could we blame you for the poor timing? Whether Ye, the commander, welcomed them or not, I believe they won’t care. The bonds of military comradeship are not shown via formalities, but are etched into their bones and coursing through their blood."

"Well said!" Guo Cui got up, her eyes full of appreciation. "Let’s go, let’s take Xibao and go see our heroes."

Xibao called out loudly, "Go home!"

Guo Cui paused as Xibao pointed to the sweat on his face, "Hot, hot!"

He then pointed to Guo Cui’s sunburnt face and the sweat trickling down her cheeks, and continued saying, "Hot, hot!"

Feng Qingxue explained, "Xibao thinks it’s too hot outside, so he wants to go home to rest. He also saw his aunt sweating and thinks she should go home to rest instead of burning under the sun."

Guo Cui immediately picked Xibao up, "This child is so lovable! He’s so considerate."

Carrying two large suitcases, Sang Hong’s mouth cringed into a smile.

When Xibao was being playful, he could be really mischievous, but when he was being affectionate, he was extraordinarily endearing. Just a single piece of candy was enough to win over Wang Xiaowu’s heart.

When they went out to graze the sheep, Wang Xiaowu used to make many grass bugs for Xibao to play with.
