Chapter 934: Chapter 934: A World for Two 2

They both didn’t dare mention relying on the space to save cultural relics in distress, they only told their family they had something to do outside and would return after about a month.

During her time in the military, Feng Qingxue was attentive and reluctant to let her children out of her sight. And since there were no adults at home to look after them, she took them with her to work, confining Xibao quite severely.

Now? With her brother around, Xibao was like a wild horse that had thrown off its reins.

Jumping up and down, chasing chickens, and teasing dogs.

Because life in Wanglou Brigade was good, the brigade kept several large wolfhounds to guard the grain storehouse. Unexpectedly, these dogs wagged their tails whenever they saw Xibao. The folks all praised Xibao for having such good rapport that even dogs liked him.

Feng Qingxue could only accept this view when she heard it.

Upon hearing that their parents were leaving home, Xibao waved his hand grandly, "I’m already an adult, so don’t worry about me!"

"Mommy, take me with you!" Fubao’s tears came out instantly. She dropped the little basket made of willow she was holding, clung to Feng Qingxue’s legs, and wouldn’t let go, her little face like a flower bud beaten by the rain, tender and especially pitiful.

Feng Qingyun laughed and said, "Fubao, isn’t it nice to sleep with your auntie? If you leave, your auntie will be so lonely by herself."

"I want Mommy!" Fubao insisted firmly, letting two lines of tears streak down her cheeks, "Without Mommy, Fubao is very pitiful!"

Feng Qingyun spread his hands to his sister, indicating that he was at his wit’s end.

"Fubao!" Feng Qingxue crouched in front of her and placed her hands on her shoulders, "Will you listen to Mommy? Daddy and Mommy have very important things to do. It’s tiring on the road, and we can’t eat or dress well. Is it okay for Fubao to wait at home for Mommy and Daddy to come back? When we come back, we’ll bring you delicious cake."

"Cake?" Before Fubao could say anything, Xibao’s eyes lit up, "Mommy, mommy, is it my birthday soon?"

Feng Qingxue momentarily paused at this question, then smiled and said, "Yes, Xibao is going to be five years old soon, a big kid now. Daddy and Mommy will definitely come back in time for Xibao’s birthday."

It was the beginning of April, and Xibao’s birthday was in May. Calculating the time, it seemed possible.

After coming back, as a mother, she had indeed forgotten that her son’s birthday was approaching.

"Then go buy me a cake, a cream cake! Mommy, a fruit cake is okay too. There are a lot of people at home, so many grandpas and grandmas. One won’t be enough." Xibao seriously bargained with his mother, "I’m really big now. I can eat a whole cake by myself. If little sister wants to eat too, what should we do? Just buy ten." He thought blissfully.

Ten?

Feng Qingxue was both amused and exasperated. She lightly slapped away his fantasy, "Daddy and Mommy only have four hands between them, not three heads and six arms to carry ten cakes. Buying so many cakes, you’d get kicked out of the grocery store."

Xibao exclaimed in surprise, thought for a moment, then stretched out four fingers, "Four!" One for each hand.

"Four!" Fubao echoed like a parrot.

"Stay at home and play with Grandpa, Auntie, and Brother. When Mommy comes back, she’ll buy four cakes," Feng Qingxue seized the opportunity to tell her daughter.

Fubao looked conflicted at her mother, "I want to be with Mommy, but I also want cake."

Feng Qingxue spoke seriously, "You can only choose one, and even if you choose Mommy, Mommy still can’t take you out. It’s too hot outside, and it will tan your tender little face."

"I want cake!" The vain little girl made her choice instantly.
