Lu Yiming is still running training classes this summer and selling college entrance examination review materials. The triplets are taking interest classes at the Youth Palace throughout the summer and have no time to return to the military compound. Their tenth birthday is on August 20th.
Su Yan took a day off that day and prepared two tables of sumptuous meals to celebrate for the children. Hua Min and Lu Fengnian hadn't seen them for a long time and came a day in advance.
Ten years old is a big birthday for children, and it’s not right for grandparents to say that.
Lu Ting also invited his father-in-law's family. Lu Jin and Lu Shu's family would definitely come too. Lu Yu and Lu Chen were in the Air Force, more than a hundred miles away from here. It was too far, so Lu Ting didn't call to inform them.
Lu Jin didn't come because he had to go to work. Around ten o'clock, Chen Yuhe came with her four children.
Although Lu Shu and her husband were at work, they still came at lunchtime, and of course their group of gourd brothers also came.
Su Yan stared at Lu Shu's belly. What happened? Was the baby in her belly born or not?
After dinner, Lu Ting secretly told her, "Yan Yan, when my sister was less than three months pregnant, she and her husband had sex too vigorously and the baby fell out."
"Your sister's face is all blemish-prone from childbirth. Will she ever have another child?"
"Even if she wanted to have it, she had to give it up. The doctor said she would be prone to miscarriage if she got pregnant due to her health problems. The family planning office is also trying to persuade her to get a sterilization."
Su Yan suddenly thought that family planning would become more and more strict. Even though she didn't give birth to a child later, the street office would not ask her to get an IUD and sterilize her, right?
"Lu Ting, do you still have your sterilization certificate?"
"It's still there, Yanyan, don't worry. I reported the matter when I got sterilized that year. The people from the military region's family planning office won't come looking for you."
"But the people from the street office where we live will come to find me. But since you said the sterilization certificate is still there, I'm not afraid anymore."
Lu Shu came to the backyard to see if her sister-in-law needed help. She happened to hear her sister-in-law and her brother talking about sterilization. She smiled embarrassedly and teased Lu Ting, "Brother, why did you want to get sterilized in the first place? I've never seen a man get sterilized."
Lu Shu didn't know how gay men undergo sterilization surgery. She thought that sterilization would definitely cause damage to their bodies and might even affect their sexual functions.
Lu Ting was a little unhappy when he heard this. While cleaning the stove, he said, "Giving birth isn't something that can be done by one person. If women can get sterilized, then men should be able to do so as well. If gay men can get sterilized, why can't I?"
Lu Shu was speechless after hearing what Lu Ting said. She sighed in her heart that her sister-in-law was so lucky! Her brother had been sterilized before the triplets were born for her. Which man in this era would take the initiative to get sterilized?
Su Yan also laughed and retorted, "Shushu, don't you want your brother-in-law to suffer the pain of getting a vasectomy, so you took the initiative to get it done?"
"The Family Planning Office advised me to get sterilized, but I'm still considering it."
Su Yan thought, consider it? Soon you won't have to think about it anymore. They will take you directly to the hospital. If you don't go to work, you will be gone.
Su Yan smiled and said nothing. Lu Su continued, "Sister-in-law, I heard that your braised food business is very good. You make more in a day than I do in a month."
"What? You want to quit your job and start a small business?"
Lu Shu shook her head. "The sugar factory is a state-owned enterprise. Even though I don't earn as much as you do, it's still a stable job."
She thought to herself, what if her sister-in-law was arrested one day? She was a formal worker at the sugar factory and would have a retirement job after retirement, but the small vendors didn't have that treatment.
I don’t understand why my sister-in-law, a college student, who could have found a way to go to the hospital, chose to become a street vendor. I don’t know if she has a problem with her brain.
Su Yan didn't know what Lu Shu was thinking, and even if she knew, she wouldn't pay any attention to her. People like her were deeply constrained by traditional ideas and had not yet realized the importance of money.
They live in a shabby apartment building, and with more than ten people in their parents-in-law's family, they don't know how they can live in two shabby houses? Business opportunities are coming soon, and she is taking the lead in making money, but they don't know how to learn. Don't they need money and don't want to live in a bigger house?
If she didn't sell her job now, once the sugar factory underwent restructuring, both she and her husband might be laid off. Su Yan didn't bother to remind her and continued washing the dishes.
After they all left, Su Yan and Lu Ting drove the children to the park to row boats on the lake, and then took them to "Lao Mo" for Western food in the evening.
The children were a little excited about dining in a Western restaurant for the first time. Fortunately, Su Yan had cooked Western food for them at home before and used knives and forks, so they didn't have to confuse which hand held the knife and which held the fork.
The family of six ate dinner quietly. On the way home, Lu Yining asked in confusion, "Dad, a woman at the table across from me took advantage of the situation and stuffed her used knife, fork, and tablecloth into her bag."
"Ningning, why didn't you say anything when you saw this uncivilized behavior?"
"That woman just glared at me. The man sitting across from her saw it but didn't say anything. If I had said something, wouldn't I have gotten scolded? Sigh, she's already a thief at such a young age. Big brother, don't ever marry a woman like that."
Lu Yiming said angrily, "Do I have such bad taste? I definitely wouldn't be interested in those shallow-minded women. Besides, I'm still young. It'll take at least ten years for me to find a partner. Why are you in such a hurry, little brat?"
Su Yan didn't understand why those people had to steal the restaurant's tableware and take it home just for a meal?
"Okay, stop arguing. Next time you encounter this kind of thing, you can remind that lady. If she persists, you can remind the restaurant waiter.
I'm telling you brothers and sisters, don't make this mistake. No matter how beautiful the tableware is, you can't steal it, understand? If you like the tableware in the Western restaurant, I will find a way to buy a set for you. If you behave well, I will cook Western food for you.
