It has been more than two months since Xie Zheng left. It is now July and Wang Cuilan's first semester at university is about to end. She will be welcoming her first summer vacation during college.
"Cui Lan, are you free tomorrow? I heard there's a new movie coming out at the cinema. Shall we go watch it together tomorrow?"
Ji Lin carried her packed luggage and said to Wang Cuilan who was also carrying her luggage and walking out of the school.
"No, I need to make the most of my time studying at home. The final exam is coming up soon. Although I don't want to be first, I don't want to be last either."
Wang Cuilan shook her head. "Besides, there are three children at home. Even if I want to go out and play, they won't let me!"
Speaking of triplets, Ji Lin also smiled and nodded, "Yeah, I really don't know how you get along with your children. You don't take care of them often, so why are they still so attached to you?"
"Unlike some children, who are not raised by their mothers and have no closeness to their mothers at all!" Moreover, the child is so young that I don't know how to teach him even if I want to.
Ji Lin touched her belly, which hadn't shown any signs of pregnancy yet, with a gentle expression: "I don't ask for anything else now. I just hope that the child in my belly can stick to me like your child sticks to you."
"Don't!" Wang Cuilan waved her hands quickly.
Probably because they haven't seen their father for a long time, the three children also know that their father has left for something, so the triplets are now very close to Wang Cuilan.
That's because whenever Wang Cuilan is at home, she has to be under their supervision. She will cry if they make a mistake. I don't know who she inherited her domineering personality from.
Wang Cuilan was both angry and helpless, and had a terrible headache.
"It's fine if the child kisses you, but if they're as clingy as the ones in my family, I don't want them. You don't know how I feel now that I have no freedom at all at home. They even follow me to the bathroom, and they call for mommy if I'm not around for a while. Do you think I can still keep these three little brats?"
Although Wang Cuilan's tone was complaining, she had a smile on her face, which showed her love for the children.
Yes, I like my own children no matter how naughty they are.
Besides, the three children just like her being clingy.
In fact, it was also because she and Xie Zheng were not good parents and did not give their children enough care and companionship. Otherwise, the three children would not feel so insecure and like to stick to her.
Realizing this problem, Wang Cuilan is now considering not living on campus next semester and moving back home, although the school has a requirement that freshmen must live on campus.
But the rules are dead, people are alive, and we can think of a solution. If it really doesn't work, we still have the old man.
The old man had told her a long time ago to spend some time with the children while they were still young and by her side.
Well, judging from what the old man said, he plans to keep the children with him in the future. But he is not in a hurry. With his current status, he is busy with national affairs all day long, so how can he have the time to teach his great-grandchildren?
If that time really comes, it will be after he retires. However, looking at the old man's current development, it will take at least five or six years for him to retire.
At that time, the triplets were already seven or eight years old, at the age to learn the rules. Wang Cuilan had no objection to leaving them to be raised by the old man.
It just so happened that she didn't know how to raise a naughty child of that age.
The old man helped her!
Wang Cuilan was so absorbed in thinking about the future that she didn't even hear Ji Lin talking to her.
It wasn't until Ji Lin gently pushed her that Wang Cuilan came back to her senses. Her pretty face was immediately confused. She looked at Ji Lin, "What's wrong?"
Ji Lin crossed her arms: "You asked me what happened? I asked you, but you didn't hear me talking to you just now!"
Wang Cuilan smiled and said, "Sorry, I was talking about the three children just now and accidentally got distracted."
Ji Lin, who hadn't cared much to begin with, became even less concerned after hearing Wang Cuilan's explanation. She waved her hand generously, "Forget it, forget it. I'll let you off this time."
"But I haven't seen the three children for a while. I have nothing to do tomorrow. Can I come to your house to see them?"
Wang Cuilan was on pretty good terms with Ji Lin, and with Zhou Qingming and Xie Zheng as well, so she naturally didn't say anything about Ji Lin's request to come over tomorrow. She simply said, "Didn't you say you were going to see a new movie tomorrow? Do you still have time to come over?"
Upon hearing this, Ji Lin glanced at Wang Cuilan with resentment, "Didn't you just reject my invitation? Our old Zhou told me that I'm not even three months old yet, so I should be careful and avoid going to crowded places. Even if I do go, I need to be accompanied by someone."
At this point, Ji Lin was a little dissatisfied and complained, "I think my body is fine, even though I'm pregnant, I don't have any reaction. If there weren't people around me reminding me from time to time, I would have almost forgotten that I'm pregnant."
"With my physical condition, what could possibly be wrong? It's just Zhou Qingming who's been worrying about me all day. Now it's making me really uncomfortable."
Ji Lin said angrily.
Wang Cuilan also knew that Zhou Qingming had been very nervous and controlling about Ji Lin since he found out she was pregnant. She looked at her sympathetically and said comfortingly, "Comrade Zhou, this is all for your health. He's just worried about you and showing his love for you."
"That's you too. Look at my guy. He was nowhere to be found when I was pregnant. I wanted him to care about me but I couldn't find him!"
It was only after Ji Lin became familiar with Wang Cuilan that she learned that Wang Cuilan became pregnant and gave birth to a child in the year when Xie Zheng led Zhou Qingming and others to the border to carry out a mission. She expressed her deep admiration for this.
Her husband was not at home and had not been heard from for a long time, but Wang Cuilan insisted on giving birth to the children on her own, and they were triplets. Ji Lin really admired Wang Cuilan's courage.
Anyway, she couldn't do it. Although she had a good relationship with Zhou Qingming, Ji Lin thought she couldn't give birth to their child without any news from Zhou Qingming.
She wasn't that great, nor was she prepared to be a single mother.
The two were talking when they arrived at the school gate. After saying goodbye to each other, they were about to part when Ji Lin suddenly stopped and stared ahead.
"What's wrong?" Wang Cuilan followed Ji Lin's gaze and saw a Hongqi car parked not far from the school gate. A woman in a red dress, whose face could not be seen but had a very slim figure, got into the car.
Not finding anything special, Wang Cuilan withdrew her gaze. Although the college entrance examination had just been resumed and there had not yet been reform and opening up, and there were not as many cars as there were later, given the status of the Ji family, Ji Lin should not have shown such a surprised expression.
So the woman in the red dress was the one who made Ji Lin lose her composure? Wang Cuilan was curious.
