Back to the 60s: The Struggle Career of a Charmed Wife-Chapter 354 - 0: Fun with Raising a Child 2_1

Before Guan Cheng and Lu Tianjun could respond, Xibao cheerfully stretched out his little paws towards them.

Feng Qingxue was on the verge of despair at the situation.

Guan Cheng skillfully cradled Xibao, who, in turn, squealed with delight, his mouth full of drool.

"Put him in the cradle when you’re tired," Feng Qingxue advised.

Everyone adored Xibao. The cradle, which looked rather plain and worn but was extremely precious, was picked up by Lu Tianjun and Guan Cheng for a dollar at a flea market. It was made of precious purple sandalwood. Inside, there was a small mattress made of fresh cotton, along with a tiny pillow and quilt in a vivid hue with broken floral patterns. The cradle was not only exquisite but also very soft and comfortable.

With older children taking care of the younger ones at home, the adults had a lot less to worry about.

Feng Qingxue first washed Lu Jiang’s dirty clothes and Xibao’s diapers, placing them on a rope inside the house to dry. Then she dismantled all the military clothes that Lu Jiang brought back. The fabric scraps from both the inside and outside were rather worn with several parts patched up. There were twisted stitches and several holes that hadn’t been mended yet.

Lu Jiang returned wearing a thin suit pants and a cashmere suit. There were worn areas at the knees and elbows.

Opening the luggage he brought back, Feng Qingxue took out a pile of washed and unwashed clothes. Not one piece was intact. The most worn parts were still the knees and elbows. Some clothes had noticeable bullet and knife holes. Near these holes were faint, unwashed blood stains permanently attached to the fabric.

Feng Qingxue’s eyes intermittently filled with tears. Then she saw the liberation shoes he had taken off. The soles of the shoes were hole-ridden, filled with melting snow.

"You idiot, don’t you know to change the shoes when you get home? Don’t tell me you don’t know we have shoes for you at home!" How numb must his feet have been soaking in the snow water?

She didn’t wash the clothes she sorted out because it was already time to cook dinner given that it was winter with shorter days and longer nights.

Feng Qingxue rubbed her eyes, throwing the clothes into the laundry basket. She made a bowl of pureed vegetables for Xibao first, asking Lu Tianjun and Guan Cheng to feed him. Then she prepared dinner for the whole family.

Lu Jiang slept soundly. Feng Qingxue saved some food for him but did not wake him up.

As a result, he didn’t even get a bite of the food saved for him and slept straight through till the next morning.

Returning home felt like returning to a warm harbor. His whole being relaxed. There were no more immediate dangers, no pressing need to think of ways to break through enemy lines. He didn’t even wake up to the baby’s cries in the night.

The first thing Lu Jiang did when he woke up was to look at his soundly sleeping wife and their precious son lying next to her. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

He had a separate quilt, while his wife and son shared another.

His wife lay on her side towards her bed; a glimpse of her creamy, white neck was visible under her lush black hair. Their son was resting on her arm, facing towards her chest. His two little fists were in front of him. He was sleeping soundly, with a noticeable rosy glow on his cheeks. From the exaggerated mouth movements, it—he was probably drooling in his sleep.

Seeing this scene, Lu Jiang immediately put the tempestuous happenings at the border out of his mind.

Wasn’t his fight in the battlefield all for the happiness and safety of his family?

He turned to his side, propped himself on his elbow, and leaning on his hand, he observed his wife and son. A flood of love filled his heart. At this moment, he wished time would freeze.

After a while, the sound of roosters crowing could be heard outside. Xibao yawned and opened his eyes.
