Lu Jingchuan didn't look thinner this time, but he got a lot darker. His skin was a distinct black and white from his three sons, and his aura was stronger than the last time he came back. As soon as he got home, he played with the triplets, and the whole house was filled with the children's laughter.

Han Ji got home from get off work and saw him coming back, "Jingchuan, you're back, why didn't you call me in advance?"

"master."

Lu Jingchuan stood up straight and saluted him. After the ceremony, he replied, "Jingyang happened to take a day off today to accompany Jiang Yun for her prenatal checkup. If he's free this afternoon, ask him to pick me up at the train station."

Jiang Yun was confirmed to be pregnant at the end of August, and she is now exactly three months pregnant. She is not a delicate person. She had some mild morning sickness in the early stages of pregnancy, but she insisted on attending classes at school, but she no longer participated in daily military training.

Gong Wantang had just finished changing her clothes and came out. Seeing him come back, she picked up the thermos to make tea for him and told him, "Aji, Dad has had a cold and a fever for the past two days. It's been a low-grade fever for two days, and he had vomiting and diarrhea this morning. My sister-in-law asked a health care doctor to give him medication and an IV. I also prescribed some medicine for him later. He seems to be better this afternoon. Please give him a call to check on him."

"Is it a common cold?" Han Ji put down the teacup.

"It's a common cold, but he went on a business trip out of town last week. He probably ate something unclean on the way there, and he's been nauseous since returning. He didn't take his medicine in time, so his vomiting and diarrhea got worse."

Seeing that he was about to make a phone call, the triplets immediately staggered to the coffee table and huddled their heads together.

"Mingbao, come out and let grandpa make a phone call." Lu Jingchuan called them.

The three ignored him. One grabbed the phone and another dialed the number quickly. After dialing the number, they handed the phone to Han Ji: "Grandpa, answer it."

"Can you make phone calls now?" Lu Jingchuan raised his eyebrows.

Dabao looked up and gave him a look of contempt.

Lu Jingchuan: "..."

He had just forgotten that the triplets were adult souls, and reached out to rub Mingbao's head.

Han Ji picked up Dabao and put him on his lap. He took the phone and said to them, "Talk to Grandpa and persuade him to take his medicine. If he doesn't take it obediently, go and beat him."

The call was quickly connected. The old man's voice was a little weak. Before he could ask about the situation, he took the initiative to say, "I'm not vomiting or having diarrhea. The doctor and Wan Tang both said it was from eating something unclean. It's nothing serious. The diarrhea emptied my stomach, and I feel much better. My cold is almost healed. I just took my temperature, and it's gone. I don't need to take medicine tomorrow."

"eat."

Xiao Peng heard the voice on the phone and blurted out a word.

"Keep taking the medicine for two more days to consolidate the effect. Don't stop taking it so soon." Han Ji said seriously.

"No need to eat, I'll just rest more..."

Before the old man finished speaking, Han Ji put the microphone directly next to Xiao Peng's ear and said, "Xiao Peng, tell your great grandfather."

"Grandpa, take your medicine."

"Oh, Xiaobao, okay, okay, Grandpa will listen to you. I will continue taking the medicine and stop when I'm done."

Gong Linglong arranges one day off every week and always takes the children to visit the elders in the city, taking turns visiting her mother-in-law's family and the Lu, Zhou and Han families. The elders love the triplets very much, and when they are stubborn and refuse to listen to advice, sending the three brothers over will definitely get things done.

After they finished talking, Lu Jingchuan took the phone and chatted with Mr. Han for a long time. They also made an appointment to visit them in two days.

After hanging up the phone, Han Ji asked, "Jingchuan, the college entrance examination has been resumed and registration will start tomorrow. Will you participate?"

"join."

Lu Jingchuan has been reviewing his lessons for over a year. During this time, he has been working away from home and has insisted on reading for two hours every night. He has been well prepared and is confident about this exam.

In fact, with his position and ability, he could completely avoid the college entrance examination and enter the military academy for further studies through internal assessment like Jiang Yun.

But he did not choose the same way. He planned to master both civil and military skills and broaden his career planning path. Even if the older generation retires in the future, he can steadily move towards a high position with the dual combination of academic qualifications and meritorious achievements.

Han Ji was very supportive of him taking the college entrance exam. Ji Wei also wanted to take it this time, so he reminded him, "There will be a lot of applicants this time. The educated youth still in the countryside will seize this opportunity. There are not many universities that have reopened, so the acceptance rate should be very low."

“The competitive pressure is high, but it doesn’t affect us.”

Lu Jingchuan and Ji Wei both enrolled in the Military Academy and chose command majors. They had military honors and merits, so their academic performance only needed to meet the passing score.

The master and the disciple were talking when there was a knock on the door and the guard's voice: "Report!"

"Come in." Han Ji stood up.

After the guard entered the room, he saluted, took out the document bag he had brought with him, and reported loudly: "Captain J, the postman delivered a registered letter. It's from my wife."

"Mine?" Gong Wantang stood up by supporting himself on the sofa.

"Yes, it's signed by Kyoto College of Traditional Chinese Medicine."

Gong Wantang took the envelope and looked at it carefully. The recipient was her name. She nodded and said, "Xiao Guo, thank you."

"Madam, it's my pleasure." The guard saluted and turned to leave.

Gong Wantang opened the letter, revealing a letter of appointment with a simple line of words, inviting her to be a professor of Traditional Chinese Medicine at Kyoto College of Traditional Chinese Medicine, signed by the administrative leader, Dean Shui Tingyi.

After reading it, she smiled, handed the letter of appointment to Han Ji and the others, and said with a smile: "The teacher didn't tell me in advance that I'm pregnant now and can't go to the classroom to teach students."

"This year's college entrance exam is scheduled for winter, and school will start in February or March after the New Year. By then, you'll have just given birth and will need to recuperate after the baby is born, so you won't be able to go to class."

Han Ji supported her going to work and didn't want her talents to go to waste. However, her health was the most important thing. He said, "Wantang, Professor Shui knows about your situation. Give him a call and tell him to postpone your work until next semester."

"Okay, I'll call him now."

Not long after, Xu Jiayu came out to announce that it was time for dinner. The triplets immediately stood up and staggered to their exclusive seats.

The stools were a bit high, but they didn't want help from their elders. They climbed up to the seats with their nimble hands and feet and sat down, their eyes shining as they looked at the food Xu Jiayu brought out.

Lu Jingchuan brought out the rice pot and served the rice. He first served the rice to his three sons and asked them, "Can you have a bowl?"

All three heads nodded in unison. They had a big bowl of staple food for each meal, including rice and noodles.

There are pregnant women and children at home, so three meals a day are prepared richly. All the food, meat and vegetables in the house, except for those received from the army, are prepared by Gong Linglong herself, and all are produced in the space.

We basically always have meat for three meals a day, and we eat chicken, duck, fish and meat in turn. Everyone eats an egg in the morning.
