Chapter 646: Chapter 0646 Departure to the Capital 2_1

Guo Xiuying let out a sigh, "Things are not the same as before. Previously, Xibao was the only child in the army, and everyone loved him. It was inevitable that you would give him something tasty, and I’d give him something good to drink. In the end, Xibao became the most pampered child, but no one was envious. Now, there are several dozens of army families in the family quarter, with dozens of children having the same status as Xibao. If we only favor Xibao and don’t treat their children the same, they would talk about Xibao’s indulgence behind our backs!"

Such is human nature, and there’s nothing we could do about it since the law does not punish the masses.

Fen Xiaoyu stuffed pork jerky directly into Xibao’s hand, "If their children were as adorable as Xibao, I would give them the same too. But can they compare with Xibao? Are they as fair as Xibao? As chubby as Xibao? As cute as Xibao? They aren’t, so it’s not our fault for favoring Xibao! Xibao is just so lovable!"

It seemed as though Xibao understood Fen Xiaoyu’s praise; he immediately gifted her two free dimples.

More than that, he heavily nodded in agreement, "Hmm!"

At his response, everyone burst out laughing.

Guo Xiuying had noticed this a long time ago. If you praised Xibao, he would absolutely understand and generously share his smiles. If you didn’t speak well to him, he would puff up his cheeks and ignore you.

"What a cunning little fellow!" Guo Xiuying couldn’t help but touch foreheads with Xibao.

After showing affection to Xibao, Guo Xiuying still warned them, "Everyone be careful, don’t cause trouble for Xibao and his mother. Quite some time ago, Qingxue had mentioned this matter to me and asked me to secretly warn the brothers in the army who often give gifts to Xibao. She had foreseen it. One or two people’s jealousy, we can just laugh it off, but what if dozens or hundreds of people join in? How much resentment would that bring? The family members who came with the army have different temperaments due to various family reasons. Qingxue and Chen Ju have grudges against each other, and Chen Ju has been tarnishing Qingxue’s reputation behind her back. There’s also the fear that the fathers of these children will feel unbalanced. They think their children, just like Xibao, should be treated equally as children of soldiers. Why should Xibao receive everyone’s favoritism?"

The medics listened to these words thoughtfully. Several of them immediately furrowed their brows, disliking the idea that they must treat other children the same as Xibao.

"Some people just can’t stand seeing others doing well!" Fen Xiaoyu showed no restraint, "They should learn from brigadier Lu Jiang and Sister Qingxue about earning merits. Instead of talking about first-class merit or second-class merit, let’s see them earn a third-class merit for us to admire! All they do is gossip about this and that, even feeling envious when a child receives a little love. Why don’t they use the time and effort they spend on being envious to do something useful?"

"Exactly! We like Xibao, what right do they have to be upset?"

Their discussions were diverse, but it did not affect Xibao, who wanted to play outside, as he kept urging Guo Xiuying.

"Alright, alright, stop talking, go back to work and don’t slack off. I’ll take Xibao out for a bit to see if his dad is free or if anyone else is free so they can take Xibao horse riding." Xibao hasn’t had the chance to ride a horse for a long time since his rest day.

"Ride big horse! Ride big horse!" Xibao’s interest was immediately piqued.

Guo Xiuying carried Xibao around a bit before arriving at the horse stable and handing Xibao over to Ye Zhengjun.

"Bye-bye!" Xibao happily waved at her, "Mama, little sister!"

Guo Xiuying was stunned, only understanding Xibao’s words after a while. Xibao was reminding her to take good care of his mother and the little sister in her belly. Everyone knows that Lu Jiang wanted a girl, and it seems Xibao had taken note of that.
