Lu Yu also came back on New Year's Eve. The Lu family was very lively. There was no place for so many people to sleep, so they moved to the courtyard house in advance.
Lu Ting's family didn't go over, as he had long been accustomed to celebrating the New Year at home. He celebrated the New Year on his own on the 30th, wishing his parents a happy New Year on the first day, and his father-in-law a happy New Year on the second day.
The triplets are over five years old. They are in the first semester of kindergarten this year and will start elementary school next fall.
Lu Yiming is eleven years old and 1.75 meters tall. He has grown taller and more slender. Since he started learning calligraphy, he has become less talkative and more steady.
Since elementary school is now a five-year system and junior high and high school are two years, the eleven-year-old Lu Yiming is already a second-year junior high student because he skipped a grade in elementary school.
But he is so tall that most people can't tell that he is young.
Although Lu Yiming is young, he has very good grades, a calm personality, a slender figure and handsome looks, making him the school's most handsome boy.
When Ai Mu was a teenager, all his female classmates ignored his age and stuffed love letters and paper cranes into his desk.
In the end, Su Yan and Lu Ting were invited to school by their homeroom teacher for ideological work. After they explained for a long time, the teacher finally believed that Lu Yiming was not in a premature relationship.
An eleven-year-old kid who knows nothing and has only studying in his head, how could he possibly like a girl who is a few years older than him.
As early as when the triplets were three years old, Lu Ting changed the bed in Lu Yiming's room into bunk beds, letting Lu Yiming sleep on the lower bunk, and Lu Yian and Lu Yining sleep on the upper bunk.
Lu Yiru slept on the small bed in the master bedroom, and Su Yan hung a thick curtain between the big bed and the other bed.
Every time the couple calls to communicate, they will wait until midnight when the child is completely asleep before entering the space.
During the day, Su Yan would let the children play by themselves, close the door and then enter the space, and this has been going on until now.
This year's New Year's Eve dinner was hot pot. On the day of the Little New Year, Lu Ting killed a bull in the space and made dozens of kilograms of beef jerky. The rest was all frozen. The beef was enough for the whole family to eat for several months.
Lu Ting rinsed a piece of tripe and placed it in Su Yan's bowl. He said, "Yan Yan, Zhu Zhu is over five years old. How about we renovate the living room and make room for her to sleep?"
Su Yan also knew that as the children grew older, it was not good for them to live in the same room with her. Having her daughter live in their room would really affect her space.
"How about I take Zhuzhu and the others back to the city to study next year? The courtyard is big enough."
"Are you going to leave me home alone?"
"Forget it, let's renovate the living room and let Zhuzhu sleep there. The house is small, so let's clean up what needs to be cleaned up!"
"Yan Yan, let's put the crib under the window."
"So are you planning on moving this old sofa to your mom's place?"
"Our old sofa is not too bad, so we moved it to their living room. They can sit by the sofa and warm themselves by the fire in winter."
"Okay, after the New Year we'll get Zhuzhu a bed and repaint the walls of the living room."
Lu Yirou said timidly, "Mom, are you really going to let me sleep in the living room alone? I'm afraid of ghosts."
If other children talked about ghosts during the New Year, they would definitely be scolded by their parents, but Su Yan just smiled.
"Zhuzhu, there are so many people living at home, you don't have to be afraid."
Lu Yiming said, "How about I sleep on the sofa and my sister sleeps on my bed."
Lu Yining and Lu An nodded, "Let my sister sleep with us."
Su Yan objected, "You are boys, and your sister is a girl. Genders are different and cannot sleep in the same room."
Lu Yiru was still very scared, but she still nodded obediently and agreed.
Lu Ting comforted her, "Zhuzhu, don't be afraid. There are no ghosts in this world."
Lu Yiming agreed, "Don't be afraid, sister. I will protect you. If I were at home, I would definitely wait until you fall asleep before returning to my room."
Lu Yirou smiled sweetly, "Okay then, big brother, eat meatballs."
After dinner, Su Yan threw the housework to the children to complete, some washed the dishes and some mopped the floor.
She went back to her room to prepare a fruit plate and red envelopes. Lu Ting took out two decks of cards from the five-drawer cabinet and asked the children to play "picking up dog poop" together.
The family sat around the fireplace, eating fruits and snacks, and playing cards, feeling very comfortable.
They played until half past nine. Lu Ting collected the playing cards, and Su Yan gave each of them a red envelope for the New Year and told them to go to bed early.
After the children returned to their room, Su Yan and Lu Ting sat on the sofa and chatted.
"Yan Yan, have you prepared the red envelopes for tomorrow's New Year's greetings?"
"Everything is ready. Xiaochen and Xiaoyu each have only one child, and Lu Jin has three children, so there are five red envelopes in total.
We have four children, and each of their families has to give us four red envelopes. I'm afraid the two younger siblings will say behind our backs that we're taking advantage of them."
"Don't worry about her. Let them talk. If they want red envelopes, they can just have more children."
"I heard that Zhong Lingshan is pregnant again. I guess she will have more children after this one. Xiaoyu's wife also gave birth to a son as her first child. Seeing that we have so many sons, she wants to have a few more children."
"Let them have the baby. They don't take care of the baby themselves. Look at Jiaojiao, that child doesn't even recognize her own parents."
Speaking of Lu Yiwei, Su Yan discovered that she was an indifferent person. Not only was she not close to her parents, but her feelings towards her grandparents seemed to be average as well.
She also likes to be jealous of Lu Yilan, Lu Yiman and others. Fortunately, her children do not live with their parents-in-law.
If it weren't for her daughter Zhuzhu being sensible and giving in to her when her parents weren't around, they would have probably fought.
"Lu Ting, did you hate your parents when you were a child?"
"Do you want me to tell you the truth? I wouldn't say I hate them, I just feel helpless. When I come back, I'll sleep in a separate room from them. At that time, my parents and my two younger sisters will sleep together."
Su Yan knew that the other sister Lu Ting was talking about was her aunt's daughter. If her aunt had not exchanged the child at that time, she wondered whether her parents-in-law would take Lu Ting and little Lu Jin to sleep together and let Lu Shu sleep alone.
"Tomorrow we will sleep in the Lu family courtyard or go back to our own courtyard."
"Our house isn't cleaned up yet, so we're still sleeping at my parents' place. My family and I live in the main courtyard with them, and they won't move into our room unless we go over there."
"That's good."
The next morning, the family of six set off for the Lu family courtyard with New Year gifts.
After the New Year greetings, the brothers gave each other's children red envelopes, and then everyone sat around the brazier drinking tea and chatting.
Zhong Lingshan was filled with envy and jealousy when she saw the children of her sister-in-law giving the red envelopes to Su Yan.
Why are other people's children so obedient? Not only did her daughter not recognize her, but she also hid the red envelope and said she would use the money to buy snacks at the convenience store.
She is not even five years old yet she is so bold as to want to hide her private money. If it weren't for the New Year and there were not so many people around, I really wanted to drag her down and beat her up.
