Chapter 734: Chapter 0734 Foreign Friend 3_1

Unable to argue with him, everyone nodded in agreement, "Yes, yes, you’re not a big baby, you’re our chubby treasure."

Xibao was satisfied.

Wang Zhonghua suddenly said, "Xibao, you’re a big baby, isn’t Huihui a little baby?"

"Big baby!"

"Huihui!"

Once again, due to Fubao’s nickname, the two brothers turned against each other. Neither would give the last piece of cake to the other, almost coming to blows. Xibao grabbed the box with the cake and ran outside, shouting, "I won’t let you eat it!"

Lu father and Zhao Hanzhi heard everything. They couldn’t help but chuckle secretly as they watched Xibao run into the yard to eat his cake.

"Xiaoyue, don’t be so stingy, bring Fubao out for me to see." Zhao Hanzhi put down his tea bowl and spoke loudly. He had a daughter once, but she passed away when she was ten months old. He’d been hoping for a granddaughter from Zhao Yong and Guo Xiuying ever since, but all they had were boys. He’d been envying people’s daughters for a long time; Xiaoyue was like his half-daughter.

Jiang Xiaoyue stuck out her tongue, carrying Xibao out, "If you want to see Fubao, where’s the gift?"

Lu father, afraid that Zhao Hanzhi might actually bring a gift, quickly said, "No need for a gift. Ajiang is not here. Your family has been a great help to Lady Xiaoxue. We are grateful and feel it is more valuable than any gift."

Zhao Hanzhi held Fubao while saying to Jiang Xiaoyue, "Did you hear that? Not everyone is as greedy for gifts as you."

"At the end of the day, you’re just being stingy!" Jiang Xiaoyue stuck her tongue out at him, completely unafraid of Zhao Hanzhi’s stern face. "Is your stinginess the reason you’re being transferred?"

"Transferred? What do you mean?" Lu father looked at Zhao Hanzhi in surprise.

"Yes, the transfer order has come in. I have to go to the Southeast Military Region after the meeting next month." Zhao Hanzhi had no particular thoughts about it; he simply followed the directions of the state. "I’ve been handing over my work duties, so I’ve been too busy this month to come and see Fubao. This transfer is a promotion rather than a demotion. I’m currently a deputy commander, but I’ll be the commander there."

Considering the recent situation in the capital, Lu father nodded and said, "Congratulations on your promotion, Commander Zhao."

Being away from the power struggle of the capital would do Zhao Hanzhi more good than harm.

"Let’s not talk about those things. Let me look at this chubby girl, so lovely!" Zhao Hanzhi looked at Fubao’s chubby face. When Fubao smiled back at him, it melted his heart. "Your father called me. He was really worried when he heard your mom didn’t stay in the base with you. He wished he could fly over here, but as a soldier he had a great responsibility to stay in the high-altitude area and gaze at the capital from afar. Thankfully, your grandfather Chen will be coming to the capital for a meeting next month and should bring something from your father."

Lu father was overjoyed, "Lu Jiang called?" This was the best gift Fubao could receive.

"Yes, he called me. Telegraphs are too brief to convey everything, and with the heavy snowfall causing road closure there, any letters or packages sent to Lady Xiaoxue might not be delivered. Lu Jiang was burning with impatience, he couldn’t sleep for nights, Ayong told me that." Zhao Hanzhi patted Fubao and continued, "Given the circumstances, I’m afraid Xiaoxue has to bear the burden. Fortunately, the elders like you guys always have her in mind, and come from far away to visit. I’ve told all these to Lu Jiang."

Lu father thanked him repeatedly, "As a soldier, he should naturally prioritize his country over his family."

Actually, deep down he felt particularly sorry for Feng Qingxue, who was left to face childbirth and handle everything twice without her husband by her side. But these were words he couldn’t say in front of others.
