The next morning, Lu Xiaotang and Xu Ning woke up the triplets. They planned to go to the city to visit Grandpa Wang and Grandma Wang that day.
Niu Niu and Tangtang both got up, but Pippi didn't want to get up yet. He lay on the kang, groaning. He turned over, arched his little butt and crawled into the quilt to continue sleeping.
"Niu Niu, forget about your brother, this bowl of meat porridge is for you alone. Oh, daddy also cooked eggs today, give them to Niu Niu and Tangtang too."
Pippi, who was lying in bed, woke up immediately when he heard about food. He got up and shouted, "Mom, I want to eat too."
After saying that, he slid down from the kang. He was very skilled at this action and was not afraid of them falling.
The boy ran to the kitchen as soon as he came out of the house. Lu Xiaotang took him to wash up first, and then handed the bowl to him.
Seeing that Pippi had already drunk half a bowl of food, he picked up the spoon and started eating quickly, while instructing his father to peel an egg for him.
Tangtang said to him: "Second brother is so lazy. You got up so late and asked dad to peel eggs for you. Mom and Dad cooked for us, but they haven't eaten yet."
Then he took his own egg and put it next to his father's mouth and said, "Dad, eat it too."
Lu Xiaotang was deeply moved when he heard his daughter say this. His daughter rarely spoke during the past few days when he was here, but today she said so much to praise him and even fed him eggs.
He took a bite and said to his daughter with a smile, "Tangtang is really good, and the eggs are delicious too."
After hearing what her sister said, Pippi felt a little embarrassed. She peeled the egg herself and gave it to her parents to take a bite.
The couple looked at their three children, then looked at each other, and saw relief in each other's eyes.
Lu Xiaotang carried a large backpack filled with fine grains, meat, vegetables, and some cloth, which Xu Ning took out from the space for Grandpa Wang and Grandma Wang.
The treatment of the two elders is much better now than before. They receive the same food grain as urban residents. Grandpa Wang also gets paid for sweeping the floor. They can also receive a share of any welfare benefits the shoe factory provides during festivals.
Grandpa Wang went to sweep the floor. When Grandma Wang saw the five of them coming, she was very happy. She picked up Tangtang and invited them into the house.
Xu Ning smiled and said, "Grandma Wang, your health is getting better and better."
"Your Grandpa Wang and I are where we are now thanks to your care. Without you, we might not be sure we would be alive today," Grandma Wang sighed.
Xu Ning saw that she was feeling a little depressed, probably because she was thinking about her son who was a soldier again.
He advised: "Grandma Wang, your life will get better and better in the future. The blessings of you and my Grandpa Wang are still to come."
Then he said to Niupitang, "Niu Niu, Pi Pi, call grandma quickly."
Niu Niu and Pi Pi walked over and hugged her legs, calling her affectionately, "Grandma."
Grandma Wang listened to their babyish voices and said repeatedly, "Niuniu and Pipi, you are so good. Let's eat here at noon. Grandma will make dumplings for you, okay?"
Hearing that there was something delicious, the two little people nodded and said yes. Tangtang also hugged her neck and said, "Grandma, Tangtang likes to eat dumplings too."
"Okay, grandma, I'll do it right away." After saying that, she walked towards the kitchen and prepared to make dumplings.
Xu Ning hurriedly stopped her and said with a smile, "Grandma Wang, we just had breakfast, you're not hungry yet, you can play with the three of them in the yard, Xiaotang and I will go cook later."
Lu Xiaotang put the things in the backpack in the house. Seeing some large branches piled in the corner, he went to the kitchen to find an axe and started chopping wood there.
Xu Ning handed the cloth to Grandma Wang and said, "Grandma Wang, you and Grandpa Wang can use these two pieces of cloth to make clothes. I have cut them according to your and Grandpa Wang's sizes. You can sew them when you have time."
In the past, when she brought cloth to them, Grandma Wang would make clothes for Niupitang. This time, she cut the cloth and brought it to them, so she had to make it even if she didn't want to.
She originally wanted to make the clothes first before bringing them to me, but her sewing skills were average.
Grandma Wang was a particular person and was good at needlework, so I gave it to Grandma Wang to make it herself.
"Hey, Xiao Ning, how did you get them cut? Your Grandpa Wang and I have a lot of clothes. We haven't worn the two sets you brought last time."
Grandma Wang looked at the pieces of cloth and said with heartache.
The last two sets were made by Xu Ning when Lu Ma and Xu Ma were still around.
"Grandma Wang, the clothes are ready. Don't be reluctant to wear them. I will buy more for you and Grandpa Wang later."
Seeing her distressed look, Xu Ning felt that he had done the right thing, otherwise these cloths would have been put on the sticky person again.
