When the triplets were four years old, they went out to play with their four older brothers who brought honor to their family. Each of them caught a large blue crab from the mudflats and brought it home.
The price was that my whole body was covered in mud, and I couldn't see anything except my eyeballs!
If they hadn't made any noise and his body shapes were barely visible, Jiang Xia wouldn't have recognized that they were his own children.
Dabao: "Mom, I caught a big blue crab for you to eat!"
Erbao: "Mom, I caught one too! Mom, my crab has a pair of big claws! Big brother helped us tie its claws."
Xiaobao: "Mom, my crab is the biggest! Mom, look!"
Jiang Xia looked at the three mud monkeys and didn't know whether to scold them or beat them up!
I really want to hit someone!
Jiang Xia adjusted herself, squatted down, and gently said to the three children, "My babies are so great! You know I like to eat crabs, so go catch them. I'm so happy that my babies are so sensible. I love you. Thank you, my babies."
Hearing their mother’s praise and affirmation, the three children felt satisfied, because they knew their mother liked them.
"Mom cooked it for us."
"Okay, Mom will cook it for you in a minute." Jiang Xia continued, "Do you think Mom likes blue crabs or you?"
Xiaobao: "Mom loves me the most!"
Erbao: "Mom loves me the most!"
Dabao: "Mom loves us the most."
Jiang Xia nodded: "That's right, although Mom likes blue crabs, Mom loves you the most. The beach is dangerous. If you're not careful, you'll be washed away by the waves. Then you won't be able to see Mom, and Mom won't be able to see you either. Mom will be very sad, very sad! So if you want to catch blue crabs for Mom to eat, wait for Mom and Dad to take you there, okay?"
Dabao: "Mom, there are no waves where we are going, it's all mud."
Erbao nodded: "We didn't go to a place with water."
Xiaobao nodded: "Brother won't take us to the beach. It's a mudflat, there's no water."
Jiang Xia: "Well, you're so good! Just don't go to the beach! But the mudflats are dangerous too. You're still little, and the mud on the mudflats is knee-deep in some places. If you fall in, you won't be able to get up. What if you're completely submerged in the mud..."
Jiang Xia lectured them until they promised not to go to the mudflats without their parents next time.
As long as they agree, Jiang Xia will feel more at ease.
My brother is very sensible. He will definitely remember and do what he promised.
But children are children after all, and no matter how sensible they are, it is impossible to be 100% assured of them.
Jiang Xia and Zhou Chenglei discussed and decided to send them to the municipal government kindergarten.
Now the three kids are becoming more and more naughty, playing around in the village every day. My second aunt has to take care of Zhou Chengsen and Ruan Tang’s children in the city and is too busy to handle it.
Zhou's mother has a lot of housework to do, and her grandparents are getting older and older, so they don't have enough energy to take care of them.
The main reason is that they are too naughty, and the three kids are very brave, so they play differently every day!
It's hard to guard against!
Today I followed my brothers to the mudflats to catch crabs. Yesterday, I imitated my father and used a bamboo pole to poke a hornet's nest. The day before yesterday, I went with my brother to catch insects from bamboo and roast them. The day before yesterday, I caught a snake in the fields to play with, and scared Jiang Xia half to death...
Anyway, the way of playing is different every day, but the same thing is that you turn yourself into a mud monkey every day.
I secretly follow my brother to play every day.
The three of them ran very fast and escaped when the adults weren't paying attention. The adults had to search the entire village all day long before they could find them.
Zhou's father and mother were always worried every time they looked for him.
Mother Zhou couldn't bear to scold the triplets, so she scolded Zhou Chenglei: "They're exactly like you when you were little! Even more naughty than you! You remember to go home for dinner when it's time to eat, but they just go into any other house when it's time to eat. You can't even find anyone to eat with! They're 99% like you! So naughty!"
Zhou Chenglei felt that his mother was unreasonable. She scolded him when he was a child, and she still scolded him when he grew up.
Zhou Chenglei: "If they don't listen, you can beat them. Beating them will make them obey."
Father Zhou: "Why are you hitting them? Are children meant to be hit? They are meant to be taught a lesson! The more you hit them, the naughtier they become. The more you hit them, the more disobedient they become! Do you know how to teach your child?"
Zhou Chenglei: "When I was little, weren't you guys chasing me with carrying poles and beating me? We'd chase me across several villages every time."
Zhou's mother: "Are you the same as Dabao and the others? They just won't listen no matter what you teach them! They ask for a beating every day! Dabao and the others are much more obedient than you, they listen to your instructions and are very obedient!"
Just teach them today that this is not the way to do it, because tomorrow the triplets will come up with new tricks that will make it hard to guard against.
Father Zhou: "You searched through several villages before you found him, while Dabao and the others only searched one village. They're much better than you! Do you think you deserve a beating? Besides, Dabao and the others were naughty just because you wanted to! If the top beam is not straight, the bottom beam will be crooked. You should reflect on yourself and set a good example!"
“…”
Zhou Chenglei really wanted to say that they were his superiors, and that if anyone needed to reflect on themselves, they should be the first to do so.
But he didn't dare say it!
His parents are very good at scolding people, and their lung capacity is better than his daily running.
Zhou Chenglei was too lazy to talk to them. No matter how he talked, it wouldn't make sense. His parents just thought that if he was wrong, it was his fault; if the triplets were wrong, it was also his fault because he was the one who gave birth to them and they looked like him, so it was all his fault.
However, living by the sea is dangerous if your children are too naughty.
So Zhou Chenglei and Jiang Xia discussed and decided to send them to kindergarten.
On the first day of school, Xiaobao was looking forward to it. "Mom, is kindergarten fun?"
"You have to go to class, but there are also fun things to do. There's a slide and lots of kids to play with you."
Erbao and Xiaobao are particularly looking forward to it, as they love playing on the slide the most.
Dabao's expression didn't change much, he still looked calm and composed: It's not up to mom to decide whether it's fun or not, it's up to you to decide.
However, in kindergarten, Dabao can read and learn to read like his older brothers and sisters. He thinks he should like it, but the same may not be true for his younger brothers and sisters.
So when school started, the family of five came to the municipal government kindergarten hand in hand.
On the first day of school, the kindergarten entrance was particularly busy.
"Wow...I don't want to go to kindergarten!"
"Woo woo...I want to go home!"
"I don't want to go to kindergarten, I want to go home! Woo woo..."
…
Xiaobao: “…”
Is this what mom said was fun?
Funny why are they crying?
Erbao: This is even scarier than getting a vaccination!
Dabao: That’s all he knows!
Zou Zhengyang cried the loudest at the scene. He sat on the ground, kicking his legs, unwilling to get up: "I don't want to, I don't want to go to kindergarten! I want to go home! I want to go home..."
Mother Zou desperately pulled him up: "Go home after school. All children have to go to kindergarten. Look, Xiaoheng goes too, and he doesn't cry."
Fu Luheng was pulled by Fu's mother, looking at Zou Zhengyang who was going crazy on the ground with an expressionless face. That expression seemed to say: So stupid!
Mother Fu also helped to coax the baby.
Zou Zhengyang closed his eyes and cried loudly, "I don't want it! I just don't want it! I don't want to go to kindergarten, I want to go home!"
Xiaobao felt something was wrong and immediately turned around and left: "Mom, I don't want to go to kindergarten anymore, let's go home!"
It must not be fun with so many kids crying and refusing to go in!
I'm afraid I need an injection?
Jiang Xia picked up her daughter and said, "She's already signed up, so she can't skip it."
Fu Luheng heard the familiar baby voice and turned around to see the triplets coming.
He let go of his mother's hand and ran to Jiang Xia: "Auntie, this is Xiaobao's sister."
When Xiaobao saw his familiar friend, he immediately wanted to get off the ground: "Mom, put me down, it's Brother Heng."
Jiang Xia naturally recognized the little boy, but she didn't expect Xiaobao to recognize him too.
Jiang Xia put her on the ground.
Xiaobao immediately started taking out snacks from his bag: "Brother Heng, I have something delicious! You must have never eaten it before. It's a new product made by my mother."
Xiaobao stuffed snacks into Fu Luheng's arms again.
Fu Luheng: “…”
Next time he will also bring some toys and delicious food for Xiaobao.
Erbao asked Fu Luheng: "Brother Fu Henglu, have you ever been to kindergarten? Is kindergarten fun?"
Fu Lvheng: "I have to go to class, but it's fun when I play."
What he didn’t say is: there is more time when you don’t play.
Erbao: "Mom also said we have to go to class."
When Zou Zhengyang saw Xiaobao sharing snacks, he stopped crying immediately. He stood up and ran to the triplets: "Xiaobao, are you guys coming to kindergarten too?"
Xiaobao nodded his little head: "Well, you cried so hard, is kindergarten not fun?"
“…”
Zou Zhengyang also wanted to save face. He didn't want to cry in front of Xiaobao every time. He also felt that if Xiaobao also went to this kindergarten, it would not be so annoying. So he said, "No, there is a slide in the kindergarten. It's quite fun to slide down. I cried just because I wanted my mother to buy me some candy. Crying is just a strategy, not real crying!"
His mother was determined to make sure he went to kindergarten, every day. So she couldn't tell her little sister that kindergarten wasn't fun at all.
There is little time for play!
That’s a lot of time sitting in the classroom listening to lectures!
Sit upright.
Can’t speak yet!
If you talk, the teacher will scold you!
And write!
If I don’t write well, my mom will scold me!
Zou's mother: "..."
Zhou Chenglei: “…”
He wants to change kindergarten for his three children.
When Xiaobao heard that Zou Zhengyang had to cry to get candy, he generously gave him two candies from his bag: "I'll give you candy, you don't have to cry. A real man can bend and stretch, he can't cry."
Zou Zhengyang felt embarrassed!
Why does God make sure that his little sister Xiaobao sees him crying every time?
"Xiaobao, what classes are you in?"
"First grade class!"
Zou Zhengyang was very happy: "He's in the same class with us."
Fu Luheng was surprised: "You are younger than us, why are you in the same class with us?"
He thought Xiaobao and the others were in the middle class.
This little treasure knows: "Because we can read and count, mom said we can go to the senior class. The teacher also tested us and said we are smart and can go to the senior class!"
Zou Zhengyang just thought that Xiaobao knew the same number of words as him, so he didn’t take it too seriously. Instead, he was very happy to be in the same class with Xiaobao and his two siblings!
"That's great! Fu Luheng is also in the freshman class. We'll be in the same class from now on! We'll be in the same class all the way through college!"
"Okay!" Xiaobao nodded in agreement!
So the babies began their arduous academic journey.
Strictly speaking, the only one who suffered was Zou Zhengyang; the triplets and Fu Luheng did not suffer either.
Because they skipped grades in elementary and junior high school.
Only Zou Zhengyang, in order to catch up with them, studied hard every day in the same class as them, but he still couldn't catch up! (End of this chapter)
