Chapter 198 Arranging a Marriage Between Children
After the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Jiang Jianni and Lu Xiangyang were going to take their three children back home.
Mr. and Mrs. Lu looked reluctant: "Why don't you stay here?"
"There are more people here, it's much more comfortable to live in than your little house."
Four babies lived under the same roof, crying together, laughing together, eating together, and sleeping together.
You can imagine how lively it was.
Lu's dad felt that after taking care of the child for just a few days, he had lost a lot of hair—taking care of a child is really too difficult!
I can't sleep peacefully all day long.
When I'm annoyed, these little guys drive me crazy, and I wish I could just send them all back to their parents.
But when their child was really leaving, the elderly couple couldn't bear to part with him.
The housekeeper is a very honest and dutiful person who doesn't usually chat idly with the family.
The elderly couple's daily routine at home consists of playing with their dog and visiting neighbors.
When we don't go out, the only sound in the house is the dog barking.
If Ping An and Ji Xiang remain silent, the house will be as quiet as if no one is home.
The couple had always been used to quiet and didn't think anything of it.
Now that their child is leaving, the elderly couple suddenly feel uneasy.
Lu Xiangyang flatly refused: "No way."
"This place is too far from both my and Jia Ni's workplaces, making it inconvenient to get to work."
Mr. Lu's chest heaved violently with anger at his unfilial son.
Grandma Lu, holding her eldest grandson, squinted as she watched the third son and his wife leave with Aunt Liu, each carrying a child.
Just as Old Lu was about to chase after his unfilial son and beat him up, Lu's mother suddenly chuckled softly: "Old Lu, you're too impatient."
“It’s okay if they don’t want to stay here, we can stay over there.”
"I remember the house across from theirs hasn't been sold yet?"
"Old Lu, go get the money and buy that house. We'll tidy it up a bit and move in."
Then, Lu's mother pretended to rock Lu Haiqiang in her arms: "Our Haiqiang wants to play with his little brother, right, Haiqiang?"
Lu Haiqiang's baby giggled and laughed, revealing his toothless gums.
Lu's mother gently nudged the baby, making the child laugh even more happily, before saying, "Look, Haiqiang has already agreed."
Lu's father: "..."
Without saying a word, Lu's father immediately went home to get money to buy a house.
Jiang Jianni and Lu Xiangyang completely underestimated the difficulty of raising three babies together.
When they were at the Lu family home, with the help of Lu's parents and aunt, the young couple didn't feel any trouble at all.
After returning home, only three days later, both of them developed dark circles under their eyes and looked as if they had aged three years overnight.
Jiang Jianni broke down and said, "No, this can't go on anymore, I'll go crazy if this continues."
Especially the apartment across the hall, which seems to have just been sold and is already under renovation. There's constant clanging and banging, and the kids can't sleep well because of it.
Fortunately, the neighbors across the hall are quite ethical and strictly adhere to the eight-hour workday, not working during their rest time; otherwise, they would be even more distraught.
She looked intently at Lu Xiangyang: "Let's hire two more nannies."
"Let two new nannies assist Liu Sao and help take care of the children."
Lu Xiangyang completely agreed: "Tomorrow we'll ask Aunt Liu if she knows anyone reliable who's willing to be a nanny."
Children are truly angels when they're well-behaved, and devils when they're being naughty.
Lu Xiangyang has not only failed to learn how to write novels from Jiang Jianni, but Jiang Jianni herself has also been unable to write these past few days due to the children's commotion, which has broken her habit of writing three or four thousand words every day.
The couple acted immediately, and the next day they asked Liu to introduce a reliable person.
With enough help, raising children really does become a very easy thing.
Jiang Jiani rediscovered the importance of money.
With money, even something as troublesome as raising children can become simple.
A few days later, Yang Yuemei brought Dudu to see her new granddaughter.
Looking at the little girl lying obediently side by side with her two older brothers, Yang Yuemei clicked her tongue in amazement: "This child really does look a bit like you."
Jiang Jianni glanced nervously outside, and seeing the two nannies and Aunt Liu busy in the kitchen, she relaxed and whispered, emphasizing:
"Mom, you're so funny. My child, who else would they resemble if not me?"
Yang Yuemei immediately realized she had almost said the wrong thing and quickly slapped herself lightly on the face.
"I know, I mean, this child is even prettier than you were when you were a child."
"Is this called something like 'blue-green'...?"
Jiang Jianni sighed, "The student surpasses the teacher."
Yang Yuemei nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, that's it, it's just too difficult to pronounce."
She looked at the little girl more carefully, and the more she looked, the happier she became. She couldn't help but ask in a low voice:
"This child is so good, how could her parents bear to abandon her? It's such a tragedy."
Yang Yuemei grew up in a family without brothers, and she had both sons and daughters of her own. Although she sometimes unconsciously showed favoritism, she was generally fair on the surface. Like Jiang's father, she liked children who did well in their studies, regardless of gender.
So, of the four Jiang siblings, Jiang Haibing, the mischievous kid, was beaten a lot from a young age, while Jiang Jiani, Jiang Haiyang, and Jiang Yanni, because of their good grades, were rarely beaten no matter how naughty they were.
Therefore, she simply couldn't understand why some people would throw away perfectly good girls just to have a boy.
Such a good-looking child.
Jiang Jianni shrugged: "Maybe he's lost his mind."
Yang Yuemei: "???"
Jiang Jianni: "I mean, they're crazy."
"Don't worry about so much. She's my daughter now, your granddaughter. We should love our own child. Why think so much?"
Yang Yuemei thought about it and agreed. From now on, this child would be her own, and she wouldn't need to worry about the child's biological parents.
The more she looked at Sanya, the more she liked her. Then, looking at her own chubby, fair-skinned child, she finally couldn't help but say to Jiang Jiani:
"Ni'er, what do you think of Dudu?"
Jiang Jianni looked at Dudu, who was crawling all over the bed making noises, paused for a moment, and then said, "It's fine."
Ugh.
Are their three kids going to crawl around like maggots in the future?
But it seems like I can't not climb it either.
It is said that crawling not only improves a child's strength and hand-eye coordination, but also benefits their nervous system development, cardiopulmonary function, and visual abilities.
But it's really dangerous for little kids to crawl around like that.
She almost sat on Dudu just now.
Yang Yuemei immediately smiled so happily that her eyes narrowed into slits.
She quietly approached Jiang Jiani: "Hey, Jiani, I have something to tell you, is that alright?"
Jiang Jianni: "??? What's up?"
Yang Yuemei gestured towards Dudu, then pointed at Sanya: "Jiani, you see, since you like Dudu, I also quite like Sanya."
"How about we arrange a marriage between them when they're young?"
