Chapter 380 The Little One Grows Up
Being coaxed by his wife in a tone like coaxing a child, although it looked very childish, Lu Yuxiu endured it for a long time before trying hard to control the corners of his mouth from rising.
Lin Xia and Lu Yuxiu looked at each other. They hadn't seen each other for a long time. The affection flowing in their eyes was too much for the three children to bear to watch.
"Ouch!" The three little rascals laughed and laughed. It was unknown whether it was the courage given by their mother's return, but Lele playfully winked at Lu Yuxiu and said, "Dad, are you embarrassed?"
Lu Yuxiu glanced at his son calmly, and picked up the food his wife was feeding him without changing his expression.
Lele touched his nose embarrassedly, his desire to survive returned a little, and he no longer challenged his old father's authority.
At night, when only the old couple were left, Lin Xia touched the man's face and said guiltily, "Thank you for your hard work! Are they naughty?"
Among the three children, only An An can make Lin Xia feel more at ease. Le Le is getting older and is at the age that cats and dogs dislike. Ning Ning is better but she is also a very pampered girl.
"No, they are all very obedient."
What Lu Yuxiu said was the truth. When Lin Xia first went to school, the children had no idea that their mother was leaving. It was not until they confirmed that Lin Xia really went to school and that their mother would no longer wake them up that the three children grew up quickly and learned to manage themselves.
I started learning to pack up my own study supplies, and An An took over the study matters. As the eldest sister, she began to supervise her younger siblings in their study.
Sometimes Lu Yuxiu came home late from the camp, and as an older sister, she would take her younger brothers and sisters to the cafeteria for meals. Later, she learned to refuse Yang Hongmei's invitations and asked Lu Yuxiu for advice on how to cook.
Children from poor families have to grow up early. A twelve-year-old child may already be able to do housework. Not only Lin Xia, but also Lu Yuxiu has never thought of letting the children take charge of household chores so early.
The couple sat face to face very close to each other, but they did nothing that night. They just chatted in low voices about the changes at home, and their voices gradually faded away until they disappeared.
The next morning, Lin Xia woke up at six o'clock according to her biological clock, which was trained at school. When she opened her eyes, Lu Yuxiu was not around. She reached out and touched the bed and found it was still warm.
The door opened and startled the people by the pool. Lu Yuxiu turned around and looked at Lin Xia, "Why don't you sleep a little longer?"
Lin Xia shook her head, "I'm used to getting up early."
In such a strong learning atmosphere like that of a school, even those who love to sleep in probably won’t be able to fall asleep. Being lazy for even a minute will make you feel like you are wasting your life.
The two of them divided the work to make breakfast.
While she was busy, the door of another room opened. An An was standing at the door in a sleepy state. She saw Lin Xia cooking. She rubbed her eyes as if she was still half asleep. After she put her hands down and saw Lin Xia still there, she suddenly remembered.
Oh, I forgot mom is back.
"Why don't you sleep a little longer?" When Lin Xia saw An An, who was only half a head shorter than her, she suddenly felt that the little child seemed to have just passed away not long ago.
"I don't want to sleep anymore." An An answered softly.
Seeing her mother coming back, the girl came over obediently and followed Lin Xia like a bird returning to its nest.
Lin Xia didn't dare to leave either. The mother and daughter were chatting together. Seeing this, Lu Yuxiu didn't disturb them. He turned around and took over what his wife was doing.
By the time we started to eat, the other two kids had already gotten up, and the family of five sat together warmly to have breakfast.
"We'll go to the vegetable market later. Is there anything you want to eat?" Lin Xia picked up the egg that Lu Yuxiu had peeled and took a bite.
Lin Xia still remembered to invite Yang Hongmei's family to dinner in the evening.
Seeing the three people hesitating, Lin Xia was a little surprised, "Don't you want to eat the food your mother cooks?"
"No!" Lele explained quickly: "I just wanted to eat too much and didn't know what to order!"
Lele thought that there were only five people in the family eating, and usually they would each choose a dish, so he was so hesitant.
Lin Xia smiled when she heard this, "I'm going to invite Aunt Yang's family to dinner today. I can make a few more dishes. They have to be available. You can eat whatever you want."
"Really
“That’s great!”
Several children cheered and were extremely happy to hear the news.
"What does the child's father want to eat?" Lin Xia looked at Lu Yuxiu with a smile. The child's father has worked hard and needs a reward.
"Dumplings." Lu Yuxiu had learned how to cook other dishes more or less. Dumplings didn't seem to require much technical skills, but it was not that easy to make them delicious.
When Lin Xia heard that making just one dumpling was not difficult at all, she arranged it with a wave of her hand.
After dinner, Lu Yuxiu went to the camp, and Lin Xia went to the vegetable market with the three little guys behind her.
It has been a long time since I last came to a place with such a strong smell of fireworks, and Lin Xia still misses it a little.
Not worrying about the children getting lost, Lin Xia simply let them choose the dishes they wanted to eat.
Maybe it’s because fishermen are no longer prohibited from going out to sea, and the food in the market is much richer, so the long-lost desire to purchase came up. In the end, it was all thanks to the children who came along, otherwise so many things would not have been brought back.
Seeing Lele and Ningning busying around like little adults, Lin Xia felt like there were little kids growing up at home.
After arriving home, Lin Xia started working early.
The biggest change at home is the addition of a refrigerator. The gray-green refrigerator looks quite mini to Lin Xia, but it is indeed a lot more convenient. This is also the reason why Lin Xia buys more ingredients so that she is not afraid of not being able to store them.
The family compound was curious for a while about Lin Xia's return, but seeing that not only Lin Xia but even her children rarely came downstairs to play, everyone just talked about it for a few words and then forgot about it, and the topic shifted to which couple was quarreling again.
With the help of the refrigerator, Lin Xia started making dumplings early. After letting Lu Yuxiu have a satisfying meal at noon, she put the leftovers in the bottom of the refrigerator and would take them out and cook them next time she wanted to eat them.
Lin Xia started to get busy in the afternoon. She first stewed the meat on the stove over low heat, and then processed the seafood.
At school, Lin Xia was focused on studying and was not that picky about food. But now that she is back home, all the gluttony in her stomach suddenly comes out.
Lin Xia was cooking while swallowing her saliva, and An An was following behind to learn. Lin Xia had no reason to object if the child wanted to learn how to cook. She thought that if the child went to school in the future, she would be able to take care of herself.
The mother and daughter were busy in the kitchen, and the other two little helpers were always at their disposal.
Until bursts of fragrance came from the sky above the family compound and spread to everyone's nose. The children no longer had the heart to play. They swallowed their saliva and asked their parents what they wanted for dinner.
Lin Xia was busy at home, asking An An to invite Aunt Yang and Le Le to invite Aunt Han. After Lu Yuxiu left the camp, he would take Wu Deye and Song Yu home directly.
"As soon as I smelled this scent, I knew my sister-in-law was back!" As soon as he entered the family compound, Song Yu took a deep breath and came to this conclusion.
Even Lu Yuxiu had to admire his dog nose, and Wu Deye rubbed his hands together with anticipation on his face.
