"Dabao, what did you promise mom last night? You carried your schoolbag and ate meat. Look, Auntie Wang's sister Tiantian is here too. You are men, but you are still crying. Sister Tiantian will definitely make fun of you later."
Dabao was crying so sadly that he ignored Sister Tiantian. He just didn't want to leave home and didn't want to leave his mother.
However, the crying of the second baby next to him became a little quieter, and he squinted his eyes and looked towards Tiantian secretly.
Lu Changzheng was overwhelmed when he heard the crying. He was not as patient as Liu Meiyu. He squatted down and was about to stop the child and give him a good lecture. However, Erbao and Xiaobao seemed to know what was going on. They twisted their butts in disgust and clung to their mother's thighs tightly, not forgetting to glare at their father, as if Lu Changzheng was a thief who wanted to steal the child!
"Captain Lu, your three children don't want to go in?" Wang Xiuying greeted the teacher and followed the sound of crying to see that it was bustling here.
The cries of the three boys were ups and downs. Especially since they were well taken care of at home, their voices were louder than the other, which was really noisy enough.
"Sister-in-law, I'm sorry to make a fool of myself in front of you." Being rejected by his third son, Lu Changzheng stood aside helplessly with a helpless expression.
Liu Meiyu hugged her three sons, and each of them cried with tears and snot. She had to wipe their tears, coax them, and persuade them. But they were like stubborn bulls, clinging to her thighs and refusing to let go.
"Aunt Meiyun, why doesn't my brother go to kindergarten?" Tiantian was being held by her mother, with a look of confusion on her face.
She is looking forward to going to kindergarten. Her brothers are all in school and she is jealous of them every day.
As to why the triplets did not go to kindergarten, Liu Meiyu coaxed them for a long time and found out that the root cause was with the eldest child.
Dabao is a little bit attached to her, and has been like this since he was a child.
The second and third brothers were simply influenced by the eldest. Since they were young, the three brothers have always loved to do everything together.
If one person cries, a group of people will cry together.
So Liu Meiyun decisively handed the second and third children over to Lu Changzheng to take care of, while she took the eldest child away alone.
"Dabao, there are many children in the kindergarten. You can play together. Mommy will make delicious food for you at home and pick you up after school. Isn't that good?"
"No!" Dabao pouted and cried sadly, and was about to throw himself into his mother's arms, "Mom, Dabao won't go to kindergarten."
"No." Liu Meiyu was firm and pushed Dabao away, saying sternly, "Dabao is a man, you have to keep your word. We agreed at home that you and your brothers will go to kindergarten and mom will make delicious food for you at home. If you go back on your word, you will no longer be mom's most adorable Dabao."
Dabao wiped his tears, sniffed, and said in a baby voice, "But there are no mothers in the kindergarten."
"Mom will be waiting for you at home. It will be quick." Seeing that Dabao was a little relaxed, Liu Meiyu took out a ballpoint pen from the duckling schoolbag and said, "Mom will give you a watch. You can look at the time and I will come to pick you up when the time comes, okay?"
Dabao's tears gradually stopped, with crystal clear tears still hanging on his long eyelashes. He asked curiously, "Is it the same watch as dad's?"
"It's even better than Dad's! This is a 'Miss Mommy watch', which Daddy doesn't have. If Dabao misses Mommy, just look at this watch." Liu Meiyu rolled up Dabao's sleeves and quickly drew a simple children's watch on his white and tender little arm, coaxing him patiently: "Look, when this needle turns to here, Mommy will come to pick you up, isn't it fast?"
Dabao stared at the "watch" with his bright eyes for a long time and questioned: "Mom, but it doesn't move."
“…”
Unprepared for the moment, Liu Meiyun was almost choked by the question from her older son, and hurriedly said, "This will not move until you enter kindergarten, and it moves very quickly. If you don't see it, you'll miss it and can only wait until next time."
Hearing his mother say this, Dabao stared at his wrist without blinking. Liu Meiyun was afraid that the little guy's patience would run out and she had no more tricks, so she quickly took him to the kindergarten gate and took the opportunity to coax him: "Dabao is great, you and your brothers go to the kindergarten obediently, and mom will buy meat from the supply and marketing cooperative and make delicious food for you. When you come back from the kindergarten, tell mom what fun things are there, okay?"
"Okay..." Dabao stared at the "watch" and finally nodded reluctantly.
In order to prevent the three brothers from causing trouble, Liu Meiyu used the same excuse and drew identical "watches" on the wrists of the second and third sons.
The second child, Xiaobao, is easy to coax, and when he sees that his brother is not crying, he is willing to go to kindergarten with him obediently.
The couple finally watched the triplets being led by the teacher into the kindergarten, looking back every three steps.
"Finally, I can have some peace and quiet." Liu Meiyu relaxed, but she still felt as if the crying of the three brothers was lingering in her ears.
"The three of them are just too clingy to you." Lu Changzheng frowned, feeling that the three of them were not independent enough.
There were quite a few children sent to kindergarten this morning. Some of the children cried louder than his three children. There were also many children younger than the triplets, only two or three years old, who were able to stay in kindergarten obediently.
"It's just the first few days, they'll be fine once they get used to it." Although Liu Meiyu had a headache, she was still mentally stable.
In her previous life, she had seen parents taking their children to kindergarten, where the children cried and made the adults collapse. Although the three children in her family were a little noisy, it was better than rolling on the ground with a loud cry.
Liu Meiyu didn't even know that before she knew it, her expectations for the triplets had gone from being as well-behaved and obedient as their uncle to not rolling on the ground...
The triplets were coaxed into kindergarten by their mother using a "watch". When they arrived at the unfamiliar environment and saw so many children of the same age, they were shy at first and called "Mom" twice. But after they got used to it, they began to let themselves go.
"Tiantian, look at the new watch my mother gave me." Erbao saw Tiantian walking past him and couldn't help but follow her to show off.
"This is fake." Tiantian, who is one year older than the triplets, exposed it mercilessly.
"Really!" Erbao was not convinced. He hugged Tiantian and raised his little arms for people to take a closer look.
Zhou Tiantian not only looked at it carefully, but also rubbed it with her saliva, "Look, it's fake, it's for fooling children, my brother also drew it for me."
“…”
Erbao stared blankly at the half-broken "watch" his mother had given him. He pouted and was about to cry, but Tiantian was quick to cover his mouth with a slap and frowned, saying, "Don't cry. I'll draw you a new one. I can do it, too."
Without waiting for Erbao's response, Tiantian took out her own colored pencils from her schoolbag and started drawing on Erbao's other arm.
On the other side, Xiao Bao saw a little girl secretly eating something in the corner. He walked over, swallowed his saliva, and asked curiously: "Little sister, what are you eating?"
"Can I exchange this with you?" Erbao took out the fruit candy he had secretly hidden in his trouser pocket, and stared at the long snack in his sister's hand with greedy eyes. He had never seen it before.
When the little girl saw the colorful fruit candies in Erbao's hand, her eyes lit up, but she didn't nod. She just hid behind him, a little scared.
"Then I'll give you two candies and you give me one, okay?" Erbao held the fresh snack and reluctantly took out another candy from his pocket.
Two pieces of fruit candies in exchange for a dried sweet potato, but Erbao was afraid that people would not accept it.
"I don't want it." Finally, the little sister spoke and took out two dried sweet potatoes from her trouser pocket for Erbao. She didn't want the fruit candy and ran away.
Lu Erbao remembered what his mother said, that you cannot snatch other children's snacks outside, but you can exchange them. He took the other person's delicious snacks but didn't exchange the fruit candies. How could he do that? So he followed the other person.
Among the three brothers, only Dabao stood in the corner near the door, staring at the "watch" and waiting for his mother to pick him up. Even when Lu Erbao ran over and told him that the watch was fake and spit on his arm, he insisted on beating his younger brother and then continued to wait.
On the other side, Liu Meiyu finally got rid of the three little monsters and felt relaxed, humming a song all the way home.
On the way, I also went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy a lot of pork and snacks for the children. I was so happy that I even bought a bottle of Red Star Two Hot Pot for the child's father.
"Look how happy you are. Now all three of your children are sent to kindergarten. Aren't you suddenly uncomfortable?" Wu Guifang stood behind the counter and saw Liu Meiyu, who was so happy that her eyebrows were curved like the moon.
When her son Jinbao went to school, she felt uncomfortable because the house was too quiet for the first two days.
"I've adapted so well!" Liu Meiyu was in a good mood, wishing that time would pass more slowly. The third boy could stay in school longer, so how could he not adapt? "Sister-in-law, weigh a pound of peanuts for me too."
Wu Guifang didn't move. "I have peanuts at home. They were sent from my hometown. They taste better than this. If you want to eat some, I'll get them for you this afternoon. Don't waste your money."
"Sister-in-law, please don't do that. I'm going home to cook peanuts for Changzheng as a snack. They all taste the same when they're in the pot. Just weigh a pound and hurry up."
Life had gradually gotten better in the past two years. Even Wu Guifang's family no longer had to drink porridge and eat cornmeal cakes since they became well-off. Instead, they could eat white rice every few days, which only cost a pound of peanuts and didn't cost much.
"Give me two more bottles of soda."
"Okay, okay, I'll weigh it for you right away!" Seeing Liu Meiyu urging her, Wu Guifang smiled and weighed the peanuts for someone else and got some soda.
Carrying a basket full of harvest, Liu Meiyu didn't rush to move when she got home. She rested for a while, fed Xiao Hei some water, and then stretched her muscles in the yard.
The house, which is usually bustling, is now quiet. Apart from comfort and enjoyment, there is really no other unnecessary feeling.
If there were electronic products, Cyndi Lau would literally play a couple of games or watch a soap opera to celebrate!
After Lu Changzheng finished his work at the army, he rode his bicycle home early and planned to go to the kindergarten to pick up his child with his wife.
Before entering the yard, she could hear her daughter-in-law's cheerful singing.
Liu Meiyu was lying on a cool chair in the yard, reading a newspaper and drinking soda. A plate of sliced watermelon and boiled peanuts was placed on a stool next to her. Xiao Hei was lying at her feet, dozing off with his eyes closed.
One person and one dog, hiding under the shade of the tree, how comfortable it is.
Lu Changzheng smiled and walked over quietly. He couldn't help but kiss his wife on the lips. The sweet orange flavor went straight to his heart.
"What are you doing? You walk without making any sound." Liu Meiyu threw away the newspaper and slapped the man.
"Life is so comfortable, but you didn't even call me." Lu Changzheng complained aggrievedly.
"How should I call you if you want to train me?" Liu Meiyu rolled her eyes at the man and peeled a peanut for him to feed. "Is it delicious?"
"Yeah, it's delicious." Lu Changzheng nodded with a sly smile on his face: "But I think soda tastes better."
Liu Meiyun pretended not to understand and said casually, "It's delicious. Go get it yourself. We have more at home."
"No need," Lu Changzheng smiled, and directly picked up the half-empty bottle of soda beside him, and drank it in three or two gulps. He still felt unsatisfied, "I'll just drink the rest of your drink."
"Whatever you want!" Liu Meiyu's face was hot and she wanted to push the man away, but her muscles were stiff and hard and it hurt her hands. "Get up, the chair is going to collapse."
"It won't collapse." Lu Changzheng was shameless and held her in his arms and sat on the recliner with a calm expression. "Wife, peel two more peanuts for me. Anyway, they still have a while before school is over."
"You don't have hands." Although she said this, Liu Meiyu still reached into the plate and grabbed a handful of peanuts, peeled them one by one, and stuffed them into the man's mouth.
The couple lay in the yard for quite a while, talking and laughing. When it was almost time, they simply packed up and went to the kindergarten to pick up their child.
Originally, the kindergarten also provided two meals, but Liu Meiyu knew that her three children had been fed differently from other children since they were young. If they were suddenly thrown into the cafeteria to eat a "big pot of rice", they might not want to go back after half a day, especially the eldest child who was so picky.
There weren't many parents at the door picking up their children to take home for lunch, so Liu Meiyu and Lu Changzheng didn't have to wait long before the teacher came out with a line of children who were going home for lunch.
Her eldest child, second child and youngest child were in the front row, one on each other's shoulder, carrying duck-shaped schoolbags, listening to the teacher attentively, not making any noise or fuss. They were so well-behaved, which was rare.
As expected, at home you call mom for everything, but at school you have to listen to the teacher.
Liu Meiyu was only relieved for a few tens of seconds when she looked at her three little kids. As soon as the eldest, second and youngest saw their mother at the door, they all rushed out. They didn't care even when the teacher was shouting at them from behind. They were like little chicks that had escaped from a cage, hiding from the teacher and running towards their mother.
"mother!"
"mother!"
"mother!"
The three brothers rushed into Liu Meiyu's arms like little cannonballs, each of them quite powerful.
Liu Meiyun was knocked back two steps. Lu Changzheng, who was standing beside her, supported his wife steadily and said to the kids with a frown, "If you want to knock your mother to the ground, I will show you how I will deal with you."
Dabao, Erbao, and Xiaobao all looked to the side at the same time, pouted their lips, and called out perfunctorily, "Dad."
Lu Changzheng: “…”
"Mom, I miss you so much!" Dabao threw himself into his mother's arms with red eyes.
Erbao: "Mom, I miss you too."
Xiaobao: "Mom, and Xiaobao."
Liu Meiyu kissed their little cheeks and said, "Mom misses you too, and she has made a lot of delicious food for you at home."
When Xiaobao heard about eating, his face was full of joy, "Mom, let's go home quickly, Xiaobao is hungry."
"Okay, let's go home. You hold your brother." Liu Meiyu held Dabao and Erbao, and Erbao held Xiaobao. The four of them walked home happily.
Lu Changzheng followed behind with a gloomy face, seeming redundant.
When we got home, Lu Wanjun had already put the dishes on the table and laid out the dishes.
"Wow! There's soda!" Xiaobao rushed over, climbed onto the bench, and started drinking from the bottle.
Erbao followed closely behind.
"Erbao, Xiaobao, wash your hands before eating, and drink the soda after eating." Liu Meiyu only gave them two sips and put it away.
Lu Wanjun took off her apron and said, "Yes, I will take you to wash your hands. You are not allowed to eat until your little paws are clean!"
When the two brothers saw their favorite fried meatballs and shrimps on the table, they licked their tongues and stopped asking their mother for soda. They couldn't wait to get down from the stools and obediently followed their aunt to wash their hands.
Only Dabao didn't say a word, just hugged his mother's thigh and refused to let go, with a frown on his little face, looking very unhappy.
"Dabao, what's wrong?" Liu Meiyu picked him up.
The four-year-old children are taller than other children of the same age on the island because they have good nutrition. Liu Meiyun can hold them for a while now, but it will be a bit difficult for her to hold them for a long time.
Dabao held his fingers together, hugged his mother's neck, and said in a hushed voice, "Mom, kindergarten is not fun. Dabao doesn't want to go."
"You've only been gone for half a day. It will be fun once you meet new friends," Liu Meiyu patted his back to comfort him.
"Dabao wants to play with mommy." Dabao pouted and stretched out his little arms with a pitiful look, "And mommy, you are lying. This watch is fake and it doesn't work at all."
"Look, mommy has turned this, and when it reaches 12, mommy will go to pick up Dabao and take him home." Liu Meiyu showed the same children's watch as Dabao's that she had just drawn on her arm.
Although she was in a hurry in the morning and had to lie to the child, Liu Meiyun did not forget to prepare a way out for herself.
I'm afraid of encountering this situation.
Dabao held his mother's arm and looked carefully. When he saw the "watch" in his mother's hand that was exactly the same as his own, he finally stopped looking disappointed. He hugged his mother's neck and asked innocently in a baby voice, "Mom, can you draw another one for me later? My second baby got it dirty."
"Of course you can." Liu Meiyu kissed his little head, pointed at her "watch" and said, "In the afternoon, when mommy's watch reaches 5, I'll pick you up and cook meat for you when I come back!"
“Okay then.” Although Dabao was reluctant, he nodded reluctantly because his mother kissed him so tenderly and there was a table full of delicious food.
While Liu Meiyun was coaxing Dabao, Lu Wanjun was trying hard to wash Erbao's arms with soap and she had been rubbing for a long time.
"Aunt, what's going on?" Liu Meiyu pulled Dabao over and was curious when she saw the basin full of dirty water.
"Look at Erbao's arm." Lu Wanjun lifted Erbao's arm with a helpless expression.
Under the sleeves, Erbao's chubby little arms were covered with watercolor lines that were uglier than ghost paintings and it was impossible to tell what was in them.
"Erbao, who drew this for you?" Liu Meiyu glanced at it and the corners of her mouth twitched.
"Tiantian!" Lu Erbao twisted his arms, not happy that his auntie was washing him. He said anxiously, "Auntie, please don't drop it for me. Tiantian said she hasn't finished painting yet."
Lu Wanjun: “…”
"Forget it, aunt, if you can't rub it off, don't rub it. The food will get cold soon." Liu Meiyu touched Erbao's silly head, feeling angry and amused.
After washing Dabao's hands, I took the two brothers back to the house to eat. However, Xiaobao was already sitting next to his father and eating several shrimps.
"Dad, I want more." Xiao Bao urged while chewing the food in his mouth and not swallowing it yet.
Lu Changzheng kept peeling shrimp for the three brothers' bowls and said unhappily, "If there is a problem, I am the biological father, and if there is no problem, I am the stepfather, right?"
"Dad, what is stepfather?" Erbao ate shrimps with a confused look on his face.
Lu Wanjun slapped Lu Changzheng and said, "Don't talk nonsense in front of the children."
Lu Changzheng pouted and secretly glanced at his wife for comfort, but his wife ignored him and focused all her attention on her three sons...
Because it was her first day at kindergarten, Mei-Yan Liu was in a good mood and had great patience.
In order to guide the three brothers to go to kindergarten by themselves, the food at home has been increased a lot. The triplets are given extra snacks when they go home. Their mother is also particularly gentle and kisses them every time she picks them up at the door.
After a few days of adapting, although Dabao would occasionally complain that kindergarten was not fun, he was well-behaved every day and went to kindergarten with his younger brothers for two and a half days.
Erbao and Xiaobao have fully adapted. Every day, without Liu Meiyu's urging, they would get up from the bed by themselves, carrying their small schoolbags and waiting impatiently for their dawdling elder brother.
Liu Meiyu gradually felt relieved. She would send her child to kindergarten and pick him up at the same time every day. When she wanted to work at home, she would work. If she didn't want to work, she would just lie around and leave it to Lu Changzheng to do when he came home at night.
After a few days, seeing that the triplets had stopped making noise, everyone at home relaxed and felt that life was finally on track.
Once you have gone to kindergarten, elementary school, junior high school and high school will be a matter of a blink of an eye.
But on that day, when Liu Meiyun was washing clothes at home, the school teacher rushed over and told her anxiously: "Comrade Liu, go to the hospital quickly, your little baby is in trouble!"
The soap fell into the basin with a thud. Liu Meiyun's head buzzed. Her legs reacted faster than her brain and she ran straight to the hospital. On the way, she asked the teacher, "What happened to my little treasure?"
"I don't know. She suddenly cried out that her stomach hurt and was in so much pain that she started to cry loudly. The children were scared, so we rushed her to the hospital and then came over to notify her parents."
The kindergarten on the island had just opened, and the teachers were transferred from outside. The kindergarten was full of children of military families, so they did not dare to be careless and looked after them all carefully.
Xiaobao was fine in the morning and was playing well with other kids in class. But when they were playing games, he suddenly held his stomach and called for his mom. Before they came over, the little guy collapsed on the ground in pain, sweating profusely and his face pale. Not only the child, but also the teacher was scared.
The other two triplets also burst into tears when they saw their brother like this, and the situation became chaotic and a little out of control for a while.
