Chapter 764: Chapter 0764: Beating the Lovers 3_1

Feng Qingxue did some calculations, and it indeed seemed a bit tight.

We’re already in 1965 the Gregorian calendar, and it’s early December according to the lunar calendar. It’s not very realistic for Wang Fengqiao to get home in 20 days. No one can guarantee that the train won’t have hiccups along the way.

Just like Wang Fengqiao said, we have no idea how many times the train will have to stop for maintenance on the way.

Both the construction workers and soldiers who built the railway had a tough time. They used their own hands to create these tracks. The railway workers who work at the railway bureaus also have it hard. They have to maintain train after train every day to ensure a smooth operation.

This time they’re traveling on an express train, which is said to have an average speed of about 50 kilometers per hour and a maximum speed of 80 kilometers per hour.

The train departs from the capital, heading straight to their destination. But due to maintenance and issues with the railway, it never actually reaches that speed. If the conditions are good, the speed might be decent. But when the conditions aren’t, it slows right down.

The return trip is on a regular-speed train, which is even slower.

"Getting home before the New Year would be nice, but it’s fine if we can’t make it," said Wang Fengqiao. The New Year celebration at home isn’t as grand as that in the city. Did they not live better days in the city than during the New Year celebration at home? Wang Fengqiao wasn’t really rushing home for the New Year, she just didn’t want to cause trouble for Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue. "To be honest, I just can’t leave your uncle behind!"

Feng Qingxue responded with a drawn-out "oh", a smile on her face. She understood, she understood, she completely understood.

Wang Fengqiao’s old face flushed, and she slapped her. Suddenly they heard Xibao shout, "Fight! Fight! Fight!"

As he shouted, the little guy swung his fists wildly, as fierce as a small storm, and his movement kicked off the quilt covering him.

Soon, he turned over, stuck his little butt up in the air, and fell back into a sound sleep, curled up into a little ball.

"Who is this stinker fighting in his dream again? He must have been boasting about his great deeds in the capital with Ajiang and recalling the time he fought Su Ping. He’s even getting into fights in his dreams!" Feng Qingxue couldn’t help but laugh yet scold. She turned him over, repositioned him and tucked him back under the blanket.

About half an hour later, Xibao woke up.

He shot up immediately, before he even had time to rub his eyes, he told Feng Qingxue, "I made daddy cry!"

Not only were Wang Fengqiao and Feng Qingxue stunned, but also Lu Jiang, who just came back to grab something, froze hearing these words and wrinkle his eyebrows. "Lu Xibao, why would you hit me? Did I make you upset?"

He sounded quite indignant. After all, he hadn’t so much as laid a finger on Lu Xibao, so he couldn’t just let himself be wronged like this.

Seeing both his parents as soon as he woke up, Xibao was ecstatic, "Dad! Mom! Grandma!"

After calling out everyone’s names once, Xibao again jumped up as Lu Jiang reiterated his question. He looked up at Lu Jiang with his chubby face, his big innocent eyes blinked, "Daddy is naughty, spanked my bottom!"

Feng Qingxue laughs, "So Daddy spanked you, and you spanked him back, then you made Daddy cry, is that right?"

"Yes! Daddy spanked my bottom!" he confirmed while reaching back to touch his own bottom.

Lu Jiang irritably pointed at him, "Lu Xibao, you’re quite something!"

"Daddy, yes I am!" Xibao proudly bobbed his head while saying this.

Wang Fengqiao and Feng Qingxue couldn’t help but laugh out loud. This kid!

Lu Jiang pretended to storm off, and Xibao wasn’t happy about it. He kicked his feet wildly on the bed, waving his little arms towards him, "Daddy, daddy, daddy, hug me! Hug me!"
