Chapter 1330: Chapter 1330: Radish atballs 5 Chapter 1330: Chapter 1330: Radish atballs 5 Zheng Lingling answered, “Ten years old.”
“Oh, our Xibao is two years younger than you.” But Xibao was much taller than Zheng Lingling.
Feng Qingxue called her to have dinner, and Erxiong followed suit, feeling content after eating two atballs.
With the company of children, Zheng Lingling felt much more relaxed.
She thought the atballs were the best she had ever had, and a bright smile erged on her face involuntarily.
Feng Qingxue had heard about Zheng Nan’s family matters from Sai Xiaocui and Hu Shuixian. It seed that because he had been in the military for many years and couldn’t return ho, his wife had an affair with soone else. Zheng Nan decisively divorced her, leaving their daughter to be taken care of by his parents.
However, Zheng Nan had brothers, each with many children of their own that required the care of Zheng Nan’s parents. With so many people and things to look after, it was inevitable that Zheng Lingling was neglected. Moreover, because Zheng Lingling had such a mother, the entire family bullied her, feeding her malicious gossip, so two months ago when Zheng Nan ca ho and saw his young daughter having to do a lot of housework and being bullied, his face was full of tears.
So, Zheng Nan decided to keep his daughter with him. But because he often had missions, Zheng Lingling mostly had to fend for herself.
“I like living with my dad,” Zheng Lingling said to Feng Qingxue after she had her fill, “No one hits , no one scolds , and I don’t have to wash a pile of clothes or cook a big pot of rice. I just need to wash my clothes and cook for myself. If dad is ho, I don’t have to do it, and if dad isn’t ho, he says I can take the money and vouchers he gives to the canteen and ask the uncles in the cooking squad for food. But I don’t want to bother the uncles in the cooking squad, I can cook by myself.”
When Lu Jiang returned and heard this, he sighed softly.
“From now on, when your dad isn’t ho, co to your uncle and aunt’s house for als. If you need any help, just tell your uncle and aunt. Don’t bear it all by yourself, you’re a child, and children should act like children,” Feng Qingxue told her.
Zheng Lingling smiled shyly but didn’t agree outright.
Although she was young, she was very sensible and knew that she shouldn’t just go to soone’s house to eat.
When Feng Qingxue and Lu Jiang escorted her ho, they brought along so old cotton-padded jackets, pants, and shoes they had found. These were Feng Qingyun’s clothes that he had outgrown but weren’t worn out, and they were slightly big for Zheng Lingling.
“Thank you, Auntie, they’re really warm!” Zheng Lingling’s eyes were filled with gratitude.
When Zheng Nan’s mission ended and he ca ho, Zheng Lingling imdiately told him everything.
“Dad, Dad, Xibao’s uncle and auntie are so nice, they treated to the tastiest atballs in the world, even better than the canned luncheon at you used to buy . Auntie gave clothes to wear and cotton shoes, too. They’re a bit big, but so warm,” Zheng Lingling chattered excitedly, tugging at Zheng Nan’s hand, “I didn’t go to uncle and auntie’s house to eat because I felt embarrassed, but uncle and auntie still sent Brother Guan Cheng and Xibao to deliver food to . Yesterday, I even had at!”
Having been away for the better part of a month on his assignnt, Zheng Nan was utterly confused, “Who’s Xibao? Who’s Guan Cheng? Which uncle and auntie are you talking about?” He needed to properly thank them.
As soon as he stepped through the door, Zheng Nan noticed that his daughter’s face seed rounder.
Zheng Lingling complained, “Xibao is Xibao, I really like him.”
“But who exactly is he? Your dad has been away for several days, right?” Zheng Nan asked gently.
