While Ruan Tang was in the hospital, Jiang Xia brought the triplets, Zhou Zhou, and Zhou Ying to bring her meals every day.
The triplets always look for their brother as soon as they get up. Little Bao, in particular, makes a fuss every day about wanting to see him. The little girl probably knows she is not the youngest in the family, so she always says to her brother, "Brother, when you grow up, you must listen to me. I will give you candy."
Xiaobao said that all her older brothers and sisters said the same thing to her, so she said the same thing to her only brother who was younger than her.
On this day, Ruan Tang was able to be discharged from the hospital. She had a normal birth and originally only needed to stay in the hospital for three days, but after the wound was examined, the stitches could not be removed until the fifth day. However, she could be discharged and then return to the hospital to have the stitches removed. After hearing this, Zhou Chengsen decided to stay for two more days to avoid walking back and forth which would be bad for the wound healing. Anyway, the hospital had no shortage of beds, so Ruan Tang stayed for two more days and only went home after the stitches were removed.
Zhou Chenglei went to help carry the luggage, and Jiang Xia waited downstairs with the children.
My sister found an ant nest on the grass, and they were squatting on the ground watching the ants move.
Today, Zou Zhengyang and Fu Luheng came to the hospital again to get vaccinations.
Zou Zhengyang recognized the triplets who didn't cry during the injection at a glance, and immediately pulled Fu Luheng over.
He asked happily, "Sister, are you here to get vaccinated again?"
This time he promised not to cry while getting the injection in front of his sister!
Xiaobao glanced at them and said, "No, we don't need the injection. We are here to take care of our brother. Do you want the injection?"
Zou Zhengyang was envious when he heard this, but said aggrievedly: "Yes, we are here to get vaccinations and take anthelmintics, but we promise not to cry this time."
Fu Luheng glanced at him and asked, "Aren't you the only one crying every time?"
Zou Zhengyang: “…”
Xiaobao felt sorry for them. The injections were so scary! The medicine was so bitter!
So she took out two lollipops from the small bag her mother had prepared for her and gave them to them: "Brother, after taking the medicine, the bitterness won't be felt if you eat the candy. After the injection, you won't cry if you hold the lollipop in your mouth."
Zou Zhengyang felt it was time to show off his masculinity and quickly waved his hands, "No need. I'm not afraid of hardship, and I won't cry. I'm a real man, very brave! And eating candy is not good for your teeth. It causes tooth decay. Children, don't eat too much candy!"
Fu Luheng reached out and took it: "Thank you."
Zou Zhengyang: “…”
He looked at Fu Luheng: "Don't you dislike candy?"
Little Fu Luheng: "You are not me, how do you know I don't like to eat?"
Zou Zhengyang: “…”
Every time he was given candy, he refused it!
Fu Luheng took out a whistle from his trouser pocket and gave it to Xiaobao: "This is for you, you can blow it."
Xiaobao also has such a whistle, which was given by his father. His father would blow the whistle when he was exercising his older brothers and sisters in the morning.
Xiaobao happily took it and said, "Thank you, brother! Brother, my name is Lele, also called Xiaobao. What's your name?"
"Fu Luheng."
Xiaobao is a baby who loves to share. When she saw Fu Luheng gave her a whistle, she happily gave him another candy, "Brother Heng, this one is for you too. It has a different flavor."
Zou Zhengyang: “…”
Isn't that for him?
Xiaobao continued to take out a lot of delicious food from her bag. "Brother Heng, this is chocolate, this is lard paste, these are potato chips, these are French fries, these are soda crackers, these are cookies, these are non-spicy spicy strips, and these are dried fish..."
The snacks Jiang Xia prepared for the children were all in small packages, for fear that they would eat too many snacks and skip meals.
She specially customized some small packages specifically for the children at home.
Xiaobao took out one thing after another and stuffed them all at Fu Luheng, "All for you! These are my favorites, so delicious!"
Zou Zhengyang watched Xiaobao empty her bag of snacks for Fu Luheng and said anxiously, "Xiaobao, what about me?"
How come Sister Xiaobao has so many delicious foods?
After hearing this, Xiaobao gave him the last packet of cookies: "Brother, aren't you a man who doesn't eat snacks? We're gone, only this one packet left."
My father, uncle and second uncle are real men. They don’t like to eat snacks.
“…”
Zou Zhengyang took it and looked at the pile of snacks in Fu Luheng's arms, while he only had a small bag of cookies.
How small is it? So small that you can tell there's only a tiny cookie inside.
He regretted it!
What kind of manly man is that?
Are the snacks not delicious?
At this time, Zhou Chengsen, Ruan Tang and the others came out. Jiang Xia watched the whole process with a smile, without interrupting the children's socializing. Then he said, "Xiaobao, say goodbye to your two brothers. Your younger brother is out, and we have to leave."
Xiaobao immediately waved to his two brothers: "Brother Heng, goodbye! My little brother is coming out, I have to leave! Bye!"
Jiang Xia then asked the two children, "Where are your parents? Do you need me to take you to find your mother?"
Fu Luheng: "My grandma works in the hospital and we recognize her office."
Zou Zhengyang also said: "Don't worry, Auntie, Grandma Fu is the director. We often come to the hospital to play, so we won't get lost."
Jiang Xia felt relieved after hearing this, "Goodbye then."
Xiaobao also waved: "Goodbye!"
Jiang Xia left with the children.

On the day when Zhou Chengsen and Ruan Tang's baby was one month old, Zhou's mother, Jiang Xia and Tian Caihua sent red eggs and chicken soup to the whole village.
There was also a ceremony when the triplets were born, and it was also Zhou's mother and Tian Caihua who went to do it. This time, Jiang Xia came to help.
The child's full moon banquet was held in the village. There were twenty tables and everyone in the village was invited, as well as the couple's relatives, friends and colleagues.
On this day, the whole village was filled with the aroma of chicken wine and pork trotter vinegar.
Even Li Xiuxian from the next village knew that Zhou Chengsen and Ruan Tang had given birth to a big fat boy.
During Ruan Tang's pregnancy, Li Xiuxian also saw Zhou Chengsen accompanying her for walks on the beach.
Zhou Chengsen supported her and protected her all the way, and no one knew what he was saying.
Ruan Tang smiled happily.
And this kind of happiness originally belonged to her.
She lost it accidentally!
Li Xiuxian couldn't help but feel her eyes turn red, her heart filled with bitterness.
I can’t think about it anymore. Every time I think about it, I feel very uncomfortable.
Because there's no going back.
Li Xiuxian cried silently.
“Bang, bang, bang!” There were several knocks on the door, and then it opened. At the same time, Li Xiuxian’s sister-in-law walked in: “Ah Xian, Liao Ruixiang is here to see you again. This time, you should go back with him!”
"I'm doing this for your own good. Liao Ruixiang might be a bit of a playboy, but he's rich! Who cares if he's a playboy or not? As long as he's rich, that's all that matters!"
"Think about it. If you don't go back now, his money will go to someone else in the future! Besides, you still have a daughter in the Liao family. Aren't you afraid that Liao Ruixiang will marry a second daughter and abuse your daughter?"
"And if Liao Ruixiang really has a son with another woman in the future, you'll be left with nothing! Of course, there's also the possibility that he can't have one. If he can't have one at all, and your daughter is the only child, then when you return to the Liao family, won't you have the final say?"
Li Xiuxian didn't say anything. She continued:
"You don't dislike the person I introduced to you because he's old, ugly, and poor. To be honest, everyone else dislikes the person you married three times! Then you might as well go back to the Liao family. The men are unreliable, but at least you can get the money and you'll have security, right?"
"You hold your hands in your hands. If you don't want to work, you hire a nanny. What man doesn't have money? Right? I heard that Liao Ruixiang went to ask a master, and he said there was only one woman who could bear a child for him, so he came back to you. Now he thinks you are the only one who can give him a son, and he has changed his mind. You have to seize the opportunity! Don't be so hard on money as on anything else, right?"
Some words touched Li Xiuxian, and she said calmly, "Let him in. I want to talk to him."
Life was too hard and she couldn't hold on any longer.
Being with Liao Ruixiang, at least I have money, and at least I won’t be despised by my sister-in-law every day at my parents’ home.
Liao Ruixiang depends on her to give birth to a son and to carry on the family line, so she is the only one who can control the Liao family!
Li Xiuxian's sister-in-law reminded: "This time, you must get the marriage certificate first!"
Otherwise, he would have slept with me for nothing, and I would have lost the lawsuit in the end, and would have gotten nothing, and I would have to come back to live with my parents!
Li Xiuxian didn't say anything.

Li Xiuxian saw Zhou Chengsen and Ruan Tang again during a low tide in August.
The tide was receding around five in the morning that day, and people from several nearby villages came out to catch seafood.
The tide had not yet receded completely, and there were many small fish and shrimps in the sea water. Ruan Tang excitedly caught the fish and shrimps in the water.
Not knowing whether she was pricked by a poisonous fish bone, she saw Zhou Chengsen grab Ruan Tang's finger and put it in his mouth.
In the past, when Zhou Ying’s hand was injured by a poisonous fish bone, Zhou Chengsen always helped his daughter suck out the poison as soon as possible.
She thought he was only like this to his daughter.
It turns out he treats his wife the same way.
Li Xiuxian silently shifted her gaze and walked away. (End of this chapter)
