After returning from the Youth League Home, the little ones were all tired. She steamed some eggs and fed them. After the three of them had eaten, they went to sleep.
When Xu An came home from get off work, the house was very quiet. Xu Ning was tidying up the vegetable garden, preparing to plant cabbage.
He asked curiously, "Sister, why didn't I hear Niupitang talking today?"
She smiled and said, “I was tired from playing in the Youth League Home this afternoon and just put them to sleep.
Xiao An, I have prepared the land. You can ride your bike to Uncle Dashuan's house now and bring back the cabbage seedlings. We can plant the vegetables while the three of them are asleep. ”
"Okay, sis. I'll go now."
On the second day of the autumn harvest, Lu Xiaotang returned.
Xu Ning was sitting outside telling stories to Niupitang. Niu Niu and Pipi were wearing grey clothes and cloth shoes made by Xu's mother and Lu's mother.
Tangtang was wearing the clothes that Lu Xiaoran sent her, also a complete set.
The three little kids sat obediently on their beds, eating cookies and listening to their mother telling stories.
When there was a knock on the door, Xu Ning thought it was Wei Lanlan bringing the children over to play, so he hurriedly got up to open the door.
They live in a relatively remote place, close to the Daqing Mountain.
During the autumn harvest, everyone went to work in the fields, and there were basically no people here, so she locked the door from the inside every day.
Looking through the crack in the door, she saw a figure in military green, and she happily opened the door.
"Didn't you say there were still a few days left? Why are you back now?"
Lu Xiaotang put the luggage in his hand on the ground and hugged the person tightly in his arms.
"I came back after finishing my work. Xiaoning, why have you lost so much weight?" Lu Xiaotang asked with a frown.
"Not thin, about the same as before."
"Why haven't you lost weight? You've lost a lot more weight than when I left." Lu Xiaotang said, looking at her waist and body.
Xu Ning smiled and said, "Didn't you just give birth when you left? Your body hadn't recovered at that time. Now it's been more than a year, and you should have recovered a long time ago."
As he said that, he pulled him into the house. Niupipitang stood on the small bed, holding on to the fence, looking at their mother and the man who came in, both of whom looked at him curiously with their eyes open.
Lu Xiaotang saw three soft and tender little balls standing on the small bed. They were raised by their mother and were fair and tender, with chubby little faces.
Tangtang was weak when she was born, but now her little face looks rosy and healthy.
His eyes were a little red.
Xu Ning said with a smile, "Niuniu, Pipi, Tangtang, your dad is back, hurry up and call daddy."
Niupitang looked at him doubtfully, but still listened to his mother and shouted, "Dad."
Lu Xiaotang smiled and patted the heads of the three children. "My daughter and son are so well behaved and look so good. Xiaoning, you have worked hard over the past year."
"It's not hard. Mom and the others help take care of the kids at night, so I basically don't have to worry about anything. During the day, Xiao An and Xiao Mo help. And you're out there earning money, so we don't lack food and clothes. We live a comfortable life.
Please take your luggage in first. I'll boil some water for you. You can take a bath and then play with the three of them. ”
Lu Xiaotang knew that it would be hard work, even though there were two mothers helping to take care of him at night.
But during the day, Xiao An goes to work and Xiao Mo goes to school. She takes care of three children alone, washes them, and feeds them. It is not as easy as it sounds.
He sighed, and fearing that the smell on his body would disturb the children, he quickly walked away.
Niupitang didn't care when he saw his father come into the room and continued to sit there playing with his toys.
After taking a bath, he wanted to hug Toffee.
Xu Ning was cooking noodles in the house. The three boys looked at him, ignored him and continued playing with their toys.
He leaned over and said with a smile, "Niuniu, Pipi, Tangtang, Daddy will carry you out to play, okay?"
Xu Ning heard it in the house and said with a smile: "Come over and eat noodles first, then take them out to play. I won't be around, and Niupitang won't pay much attention to people he doesn't know well."
"Yes, my son and daughter are quite alert."
Xu Ning looked at him speechlessly and said, "Why should he be so cautious when he is so young? They are just unfamiliar with each other. Children are a little shy. Come and eat."
I served him a large bowl and a small bowl to feed Toffee.
When the three saw their mother coming with food, they dropped their toys, got up and shouted, "Mom, eat, eat."
"Okay, mommy will feed you. Stand still obediently."
Lu Xiaotang also came out with noodles. The little boy held the fence and stood there obediently, waiting for his mother to feed him. He looked so well-behaved.
After dinner, Lu Xiaotang hugged Tangtang.
Xu Ning took Niu Niu and Pipi out for a walk. The three children were very excited when they went out.
Niu Niu and Pippi pulled Xu Ning and wanted to walk towards the main road.
This place is quite far from the village, and Xu Ning seldom takes them there. It was only a while ago when Xu An was on vacation that the two of them took them to Aunt Dashuan's house to play for a while.
Usually I would take them to visit the Youth League Home, or just take a stroll along the creek.
