He Yi quickly tugged at her younger brother's clothes and whispered a reminder, "Don't jump, you'll fall if your shoelaces aren't tied properly."
After saying that, he turned to Guan Wenru, his tone tinged with pride, "Mom, we washed our faces and combed our hair ourselves, look!"
As she spoke, she leaned her head closer to show her her neatly combed bangs.
Guan Wenru reached out and touched He Yi's head, then pinched He Qi's cheek, her eyes full of smiles. "So good! Our He Yi can take care of his younger brother now, and He Qi is also sensible. He Sheng hasn't caused us any trouble! His hair is neatly combed, and the buttons are all buttoned correctly. It's even better than when Mom helped you dress last time!"
The triplets were even happier after being praised.
He Qi said in a soft voice, "Mom, we also folded the blankets ourselves, but we didn't fold them as neatly as you did."
"It's good that you can stack them up. Take your time."
Guan Wenru stood up with a smile. "I'll go boil some water. You guys check again to make sure you haven't left anything behind. Oh, and do you still have your allowance? Did you spend the five cents I gave you last time?"
As soon as he said that, the three children's eyes lit up.
He Sheng quickly pulled out a small cloth wallet from under his pillow, opened it, and found a few cents inside.
"I didn't spend it!" He Sheng held his wallet high. "We're saving it for the market!"
He Yi nodded, "Mom, we've decided that we won't use our allowance to buy candy for ourselves, but we'll buy candy for Dad."
Guan Wenru's heart skipped a beat, and she was about to speak when He Qi continued, "Dad loves milk candy the most. Last time he ate one and said it was sweet. Let's go to the market and see if they have any milk candy. Let's buy two or three and give them to Dad when he gets back."
"Yes!" He Sheng leaned closer, his little voice full of anticipation. "When Dad comes back and sees the candy we bought for him, he'll definitely be happy! He might even hug us and spin us around!"
Seeing the three children's earnest expressions, Guan Wenru's eyes welled up with tears. She knelt down and patted each of their little heads.
"My child is so filial, even thinking of buying candy for Dad. Actually, Mom has some good news to tell you, Dad will be back in a couple of days!"
"Really?!" the triplets exclaimed in unison.
He Sheng threw himself into Guan Wenru's arms, hugging her neck and shaking her, "Mom! Dad's really coming back?"
Guan Wenru smiled and patted her son on the back. "Of course it's true. When Dad comes back, we'll give him the candy we bought, and then he'll tell you stories from the Three Kingdoms, okay?"
“Great!” He Yi’s eyes lit up. He loved listening to his father tell stories about the Three Kingdoms.
Last time, we talked about the Oath of the Peach Garden, but before we finished, Dad went on a mission.
"I want to hear Dad tell me stories about Zhang Fei's battles! Zhang Fei was amazing; he could drink a lot of wine!"
He Qi nodded, "I want to hear the story of Liu Bei. Dad said Liu Bei was a good person."
He Sheng was even more direct, hugging Guan Wenru's neck and shouting, "I want to hear about Zhao Yun saving A Dou! Dad said last time that Zhao Yun was incredibly fast on horseback, even faster than the horses in our compound! Mom, Dad will definitely tell you when he comes back, right? He won't forget, will he?"
"I won't forget."
Guan Wenru smiled and gently pinched He Sheng's little nose. "Dad loves you the most. He'll definitely remember what he promised you. Come on, let's wash up and have breakfast. After that, we'll meet up with Auntie and the others and go to the market to pick out the best milk candy for Dad!"
Upon hearing this, the triplets immediately became highly motivated.
He Sheng quickly tied his shoelaces, while He Yi helped He Qi carry his small wallet.
