When Du Xiaotao got married, his family weren't present, so they sent various gifts of food, clothing, and other necessities afterwards. Du Xiaotao, being fond of Xibao, sent his family quite a few things. The same goes for Jiang Xiaoyue, who had her brothers send over lots of good stuff before she left. Then there was Fang Ning and Yang Fengying, people who knew how to repay their debts of gratitude. Even after they left, they would often send things to the army.
Although Du Haitao had a tough exterior, he was quite good at speaking. He complimented Xibao lavishly in line with Feng Qingxue's sentiments, even though Xibao was sprawled out fast asleep on his bed, his chubby rear end sticking up, his plump face hardly observable.
Feng Qingxue, as Xibao's mother, was naturally bursting with pride, a sense of triumph welling up within her.
