Give them a chance, and there’s no worry about finding a wife, right?
As for living apart, it’s a common scenario nowadays. Soldiers, frontline workers, and scientists pursuing their research careers, who among them isn’t away from their family? For these people, it’s not an issue at all.
Upon getting Feng Qingxue’s promise, Han Ping left cheerfully.
Feng Qingxue, accompanied by Xibao, arrived at the grasslands outside the camp. The sight of green grass and wildflowers improved her mood immensely.
Excitedly, Xibao dashed towards the flock of sheep, scattering them in all directions.
"Ei ei ei, my little master, don’t drive my sheep into someone else’s flock!" Wang Xiaowu, who was responsible for herding the sheep, waved his whip in his hand and hurriedly gathered his flock together.
Feng Qingxue quickly snatched back Xibao, "Xibao, how about you stand here with your mom and watch the sheep?"
"Yes!" Xibao pointed at the flock, "Mommy, sheep!"
"Yes, they are sheep. Uncle Xiaowu is herding the sheep. Xibao is a good boy. Good boys don’t add to Uncle Xiaowu’s burden."
"Uh huh!" He nodded quickly, "Good boy! Baby!"
Wang Xiaowu understood what he meant - that the baby is a good boy - and he couldn’t help laughing.
"Sister-in-law, Xibao is so cute, but a little naughty."
"Sorry to trouble you. When you see him, don’t be too indulgent. If he needs to be punished, don’t hesitate. I won’t mind." Feng Qingxue held Xibao’s hand tightly, afraid that the little fellow might suddenly run into the sheep flock.
Wang Xiaowu laughed heartily, "Punish? Sister-in-law, who would have the heart to punish such a cute kid?"
Although Xibao was very naughty, sometimes he could be quite sweet and obedient, like now. The chubby little hand that his mother wasn’t holding rummaged in his pocket and pulled out a milk candy. He trotted over to Wang Xiaowu, holding it up, "Eat!"
Wang Xiaowu was extremely surprised, "Is this for me?"
"Uh-huh!" He answered crisply and efficiently.
"Uncle won’t eat it, you eat it, Xibao!"
Wang Xiaowu peeled the candy and bent down to pop it into Xibao’s mouth. But the little guy turned and ran off, flapping his chubby hand behind him as he ran, "No, no!"
He ran to Feng Qingxue, tilted his face up, and blinked his big eyes, "Mommy!"
Feng Qingxue praised, "Good boy, Xibao! So good, so great! Mommy loves Xibao the most. Xibao should always do just , be a polite, good child, and learn to share with everyone."
"Good boy!" Xibao said loudly, the proud grin on his round face couldn’t be concealed.
Wang Xiaowu stood there holding the candy, "Sister-in-law..."
"It’s a gift from Xibao, so you eat it. I’m taking Xibao over there."
Xibao dashed ahead like a little cannonball, his chubby little legs running so fast. Feng Qingxue was pregnant, and didn’t dare to run. She followed behind, continuously shouting, "Xibao, slow down! Run slowly! Wait for mommy!"
Unsteady, Xibao stumbled and fell flat on the ground.
However, he didn’t cry or make a fuss. He got up, brushed off the grass and leaves on his chest, and continued running forward.
"Grandpa, grandpa!" he waved his arm and ran straight towards a man in the distance.
Feng Qingxue looked closely. Indeed, it was Ye Zhengjun, leading a horse.
Hearing little Xibao’s call, Ye Zhengjun handed the reins to the security guard and quickly jogged towards Xibao, holding him close.
"Aiyowei, my little Xibao, why are you running so fast? There are cows, sheep, horses, and mules all over the grassland. What if you’re stepped on or kicked by them? You mustn’t run next time!"
"Uh huh!" He agreed readily.
