The telegram was sent by Wang Xinsheng, and Guo Yan, of course, knew about it. Not only did they send one to Feng Qingxue’s hometown, but also to Lu Jiang.
So, upon hearing that it’s Feng Qingxue’s uncle, aunt, and stepfather, Guo Yan felt particularly happy for Feng Qingxue, as it showed that she’s valued by her family. She quickly said, "Come in, come in quickly, Xiaoxue is inside. I am washing diapers, so I won’t be able to help with your luggage."
My goodness, the three of them had brought quite a lot of stuff with them.
Upon hearing this, Wang Fengqiao immediately put down the luggage and the basket in her hand. "I’ll do the washing!"
"No, no, I’m almost done, you don’t need to get your hands dirty." Guo Yan didn’t think washing diapers was hard; she had gone through much tougher times during wars. "The wind in the Capital is strong and it’s cold outside. You all should get inside first."
Lu Zhiyuan, who was holding Xibao closely, and Wang Zhengguo thanked Guo Yan together.
Feng Qingxue’s family were all not around, so no matter who Guo Yan was, taking care of Qingxue here made them grateful.
Guo Yan laughed and said, "What’s there to thank for? Aren’t we all just helping each other out?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Zhiyuan and Wang Zhengguo decided not to continue with the formalities. They made a silent promise to return the favor to her and her family. Meanwhile, Wang Fengqiao had entered the house. Feng Qingxue was feeding Fubao, and she was pleasantly surprised to see her.
"Auntie? Did you come alone?"
"Your father-in-law and eldest uncle are also here. We came together. They didn’t want to intrude, so they’re still outside playing with Xibao! Xibao actually recognizes us after a year, your father-in-law and eldest uncle were thrilled!" As she sat on the edge of the bed, Wang Fengqiao couldn’t help but praise, "What a chubby baby girl! Look at those chubby cheeks."
After Fubao finished her milk and burped, her round eyes wide open, she allowed Feng Qingxue to move her into her aunt’s arms.
She has a very chubby face and big eyes, with deep double eyelids, looking a lot like Lu Jiang.
It’s hard to tell who she resembles in terms of the facial shape for now, but her eyebrows, nose and mouth look rather similar to Feng Qingxue’s.
"She weighed eight pounds and two ounces when she was born and had plenty of breast milk. How could she not get chubby?" Feng Qingxue buttoned her cotton floral coat after lowering her underwear and cashmere shirt, tidied up her hair and put on her headscarf again.
Wang Fengqiao was in awe, "I thought Xibao was quite chubby when she was born, but this baby has outdone him!"
Feng Qingxue herself had not expected this either.
Once Fubao fell asleep, Wang Fengqiao placed her back on the bed, tucked her in, and turned to Feng Qingxue to ask, "Xiaoxue, if you’re ready, let’s invite your eldest uncle and your father-in-law in... What’s the baby’s name?"
"Her formal name is Lu Tianhui, and her nickname is Fubao."
"Fubao? What a nice name, just like Xibao. Both are good names. Let’s call them in!"
Feng Qingxue nodded, and Wang Fengqiao went out to call Wang Zhengguo and Lu’s father, who walked in holding Xibao and said as soon as he entered, "Xiaoxue, you must be exhausted! When Xibao was born, Ajiang was not at home, and now when Xibao’s younger sister is born, there is no one from your family here."
"Father, don’t say that, I’m not suffering at all. Ajiang is away in the army, I couldn’t blame him." Feng Qingxue said bashfully, "Besides, everyone has been very good to me. The things I’m using now and the milk powder Fubao is drinking are all gifts from everyone. The lady who’s been looking after me during my confinement is Mrs. Wang, Wang Xinsheng’s wife. All of you must have met her, right?"
