Chapter 1309: Only Been in the City a Few Days, and You've Already Forgotten Your Dad

Fu Yan Cheng smiled and sat beside her, whispering, "I saw some children trading their family's apricots for candy and thought you'd like them, so I traded for a few."

Though that's what he said, everyone understood; it wasn't really about trading for candy, but bold children taking wild apricots from around the house or the mountains to trade for money or tickets to help the family.

Saying this, he took the apricots out of his pocket: "Here, put them in your bag. The train won't leave for a while; I'll go to the state-run restaurant outside and wash them for you."

Liu Chuxue looked at the apricots, already turning yellow, obviously wild ones from the mountains: "Let's wait until we get to the village, so you don't have to ask for favors."

Fu Yan Cheng laughed and took out most of them, leaving the rest inside: "Auntie Qi, the cook at the state-run restaurant behind the station, is my comrade's aunt. I ate there a few times after returning from a mission; it's just a matter of a few words."

Having finished speaking, he ran off the train.

Xia Qiu, sitting behind her, laughed, "Your brother-in-law truly cares for you. By the way, elders often say sour for a son and spicy for a daughter; do you prefer sour or spicy?"

Hearing this, Liu Chuxue touched her belly: "I don't feel any special preference; I accept both sour and spicy."

While the two were talking, Fu Yan Cheng had already returned.

He got on the train, handed three to Xiao Fu for him to share with Xiao Mu and Chunxiao, then gave two to Xia Qiu before sitting beside Liu Chuxue: "Wife, these are all for you; I specially kept the pretty ones."

As soon as he said this, before Liu Chuxue could speak, Xia Qiu behind them laughed.

At her laugh, Liu Chuxue seemed to understand the meaning in Fu Yan Cheng's words: "Who did you learn that from?"

Seeing his wife happy, Fu Yan Cheng smiled: "Our regiment commander said that when a wife is pregnant, looking at beautiful people and things, or keeping a happy mood every day, the baby born will be beautiful. I thought eating things that look good is the same."

These words not only successfully made the Xiao family laugh, but everyone else nearby also started laughing.

Today was the weekend, with many people taking the train; before long, the carriage was full.

The two little ones were sleeping soundly in their mothers' arms, and even Junjun had been rocked into sleep leaning against Fu Yan Cheng's shoulder.

Xiao Mu, content with having a son, was very excited all the way, constantly looking at the son in her arms, thinking about how she would finally hold her head high when they reached the village.

With her mood so good, she didn't even feel the train's bumps.

The journey went very smoothly; when they arrived and got off, Qiu Shaofeng, having received notice, was already waiting there. He said to Xiao Fu and Xiao Mu, who had gotten off first: "Mom, Dad, I've come to pick you up."

Having finished speaking, he stretched his neck to look behind, saw Xia Qiu walking at the back, and flashed a mouthful of bright white teeth: "Xia Qiu, let me hold the son."

Xia Qiu glanced at the son in her arms: "He's been sleeping the whole way; it's time for him to wake up."

Qiu Shaofeng stared at his son's little face, his face full of joy; although his wife and son had only been away for a little over a week, he missed them terribly.

As soon as Junjun got into his arms, he woke up. Seeing it wasn't his mother holding him, he started crying immediately, vaguely shouting "Mom" from his mouth.

Xia Qiu quickly reached out to take her son back: "Mom is here, Mom is here. That's Dad; didn't you recognize him?"

Qiu Shaofeng lightly patted his son's little bottom: "It's only been a few days in the city, and you've already forgotten your dad."

Perhaps hearing the familiar voice, Junjun, with teardrops still hanging on his eyelashes, turned his head to look at Qiu Shaofeng.

Qiu Shaofeng then smiled: "Does the voice sound familiar? Son, it's Dad; do you remember now?"
