Chapter 653: Chapter 0653: Capital Connections 3_1

When Du Xiaotao got married, his family weren’t present, so they sent various gifts of food, clothing, and other necessities afterwards. Du Xiaotao, being fond of Xibao, sent his family quite a few things. The same goes for Jiang Xiaoyue, who had her brothers send over lots of good stuff before she left. Then there was Fang Ning and Yang Fengying, people who knew how to repay their debts of gratitude. Even after they left, they would often send things to the army.

Although Du Haitao had a tough exterior, he was quite good at speaking. He complimented Xibao lavishly in line with Feng Qingxue’s sentiments, even though Xibao was sprawled out fast asleep on his bed, his chubby rear end sticking up, his plump face hardly observable.

Feng Qingxue, as Xibao’s mother, was naturally bursting with pride, a sense of triumph welling up within her.

Before long, Xibao woke up, turned over and sat on the bed, his two chubby little hands rubbing his eyes as he said he was hungry and wanted "food". Du Haitao promptly took them to the mess hall, even carrying Xibao along the way.

Xibao stared at Du Haitao dazedly for quite a while, then suddenly came to his senses, stared at Du Haitao, and said, "Not Daddy!"

"Right, not Daddy. You should call me Uncle!" Du Xiaotao said with a laugh.

"Uncle!" Xibao learned a new word. Many soldiers in the army had tried to have him call them Uncle to no avail.

Feng Qingxue was thrilled, and Du Xiaotao laughed heartily.

"Big brother, you’re pretty impressive. Xibao called you Uncle for the first time!" Du Xiaotao joked.

Du Haitao looked down at Xibao for a moment. Xibao gave a sweet smile and patted Du Haitao’s shoulder, saying, "Uncle ah!"

This little act, acting like a boss patting his subordinate, made Du Xiaotao laugh so hard his stomach hurt.

On their way, they ran into a large group of female medical soldiers going to the mess hall for their meal. They all greeted Du Haitao, clearly familiar with him. "Commander Du, whose child are you carrying? He’s so chubby and cute. Xiuhong will definitely hold you accountable!"

Du Haitao, keeping a straight face, said, "Nonsense, this is the child of my sister’s comrade. I’m just helping carry him."

The other party’s words were quite ambiguous.

His sister had already been seriously affected by this impropriety. Their family took this matter quite seriously.

At Du Haitao’s words, several of the medical soldiers looked a bit taken aback. They looked at Feng Qingxue and Du Xiaotao, noticed that they were both dressed as medical soldiers like themselves, but didn’t recognize them at all.

An older doctor named Chen Lin first displayed confusion in her eyes, then noticed Du Xiaotao’s flushed cheeks, and suddenly understood. "I remember now, you two comrades are from the southwest, right? Who is Feng Qingxue? It’s said that your battlefield first aid techniques far surpass the former methods. We’re all looking forward to learning them!"

Feng Qingxue stepped forward and saluted, "Hello comrades, I am Feng Qingxue."

"I am Du Xiaotao!" Du Xiaotao also saluted.

"Hello comrades, hello comrades. Comrade Qingxue, it must be quite tough for you to come and teach us while being pregnant. I am Chen Lin, responsible for coordinating the medical soldiers to learn advanced first aid skills from the two of you. I look forward to your guidance." Chen Lin solemnly returned their salute, then shook Feng Qingxue’s right hand, ceremoniously saying, "Both of you rest well tonight, you’ll have a tough day tomorrow."

Feng Qingxue smiled faintly, "It’s our duty, we don’t find it hard at all."

A hint of admiration crossed Chen Lin’s mind as she turned to Xibao, "This is Comrade Qingxue’s child? He looks very blessed."

"Baby!" Xibao pointed at his own nose, then slid down from Du Haitao’s arms, ran to Feng Qingxue and held her hand, while pointing at Feng Qingxue’s stomach with his other hand: "My mom, my sister!"
