After finishing his work, Lu Huaijin quickly returned to the ward and saw that Xu Niannian was in good spirits:
"Or we can get discharged from the hospital."
Xu Nian didn’t sleep well last night, and the three kids could sleep more comfortably at home.
"Okay, then who is Aunt Zhou?"
Aunt Zhou said hurriedly:
"I have to go next door to see my niece-in-law. Don't worry about me. Today, thanks to Xiao Lu, I will thank you when I get back."
Seeing her uneasy look, Xu Niannian could only comfort her:
"Don't be too anxious, Auntie. Isn't there a clue?"
"Really? Then I'll go see her first."
I just promised to stay over at Xu Niannian's place, so I haven't gone next door to see my niece's wife.
Lu Huaijin first called a doctor, who assessed Xu Niannian's body and confirmed that there was no problem.
Lu's mother hurriedly put a headscarf on her and made sure that she was fully armed before she carried the child out of the ward. If she caught a cold after giving birth, it would be a lifelong problem.
After getting in the car, Lu Huaijin became worried. It was not good to have too many children at once. Lu's mother and Lu Aicheng each had a baby, so there would be one less person to hold them.
The day after Xu Niannian gave birth, she definitely couldn’t be hugged.
Fortunately, he had sharp eyes and saw Xiao Li who had brought Aunt Zhou here in the morning:
"Xiao Li, come and help me carry the baby back to the military area. It's still early at Aunt Zhou's place. I'll have someone send you back later."
Looking at Dabao in Lu Huaijin's arms, Xiao Li was very nervous:
"Should I hug you? That's not appropriate."
"It's you, come over here and sit in the passenger seat."
Xiao Li went ahead with gritted teeth, looking at the pretty baby in his arms, he couldn't help but ask:
"She is so beautiful, is she a girl?"
He was afraid of being crushed when he held her in his arms.
Xu Niannian laughs:
"The one in your arms is our eldest child, a boy."
Xiao Li wondered how a boy could be so handsome. The next moment, he understood when he saw Lu Tuan. Maybe Lu Tuan was also so handsome when he was a child.
Xu Niannian also glanced at Dabao in the passenger seat. One day after being born, his skin was no longer so red and the swelling had gone down.
The entire outline was revealed, and it looked a bit like myself, so it looked delicate and beautiful.
She only hoped that she would not grow up to have such an evil appearance that would attract many men to her home.
Dabao didn't notice that Xu Niannian was looking at him. He stared at Xiao Li who was holding him. He was not shy and kept pulling at his buttons from time to time.
Xiao Li wanted to reach out and pinch his little face, but unfortunately, he was Lu Tuan’s baby, so he didn’t dare to move.
We quickly arrived at the family compound. Sister Li was squatting on the ground at the door peeling peanuts. When she heard the sound of the car, she immediately ran out.
Supporting Xu Niannian who was about to get off the car:
"Xiao Xu, you're finally back. If I didn't have to take care of a few children at home, I would have come to see you today."
She was not exaggerating. Although Xiao Xu was still plump after giving birth, her complexion was really good, at least much better than hers before.
As she spoke, her attention was drawn to the cute little kids nearby. Each of them had a big red baby hat on their head.
She was wearing a pair of bright red socks and the blanket she was wearing was also very festive.
Each one is like a jade sculpture:
"Oh my, your babies are so cute. Whose babies are so cute right after they are born? They are even prettier than the ones in those New Year pictures."
The three children's eyes were rounder than yesterday, and each one was moist and black, looking like black grapes.
"Sister Li, it makes me feel a little embarrassed when she says this."
"You are just humble."
Lu Huaijin took Dabao back from Xiao Li and threw the key to him:
"Go find Xiao Zhao and ask him to take you back to the hospital."
Seeing that Xiao Li was about to leave, Xu Niannian stopped him and took out a bag of snacks from her bag:
"If you get hungry on the way, just eat some. It can be considered wedding candy for the children."
"Thank you, sister-in-law. I will share in the child's happiness."
It is said that Lu Tuan’s wife is the best at making snacks, and he unexpectedly had the same experience today. He happily took a bag of it and ran to share it with his companions.
Lu Ze and Lu Yilin also happened to be back from school. They had their heads down, but when they saw the group of people walking home, they rushed over:
"Aunt, aunt, have you brought your brother or sister back? Is it a brother or a sister?"
This sentence reminded Mrs. Li that she only paid attention to the good looks and did not ask about the other person's gender.
Lu Ze ran very fast with his short legs, and soon he was in front of Xu Niannian:
"Are you happy to have a brother and a sister?"
"Really? Then I can take them with me to hunt for bird eggs!"
Lu Yilin next to him added:
“I can tell them stories, too.”
Lu Huaijin picked up Lu Yilin so that he and Dabao could see each other at the same level:
"Sure. From now on, I'll let you two look after the child. I'll just take it as interest from you two."
Xu Niannian reached out and pinched him. How could she talk about her nephew like that?
Da Niu and Er Niu also leaned over to take a look at the kids, but they felt that they were too delicate and pretty to be touched, so they decided to go home and cook some potatoes.
Sister Li was watching with great joy, who would have thought that Captain Lu got along with his wife like this in private.
But it's also good to have two sons and one daughter:
"You guys have a son and a daughter all of a sudden, that's amazing."
Looking at that little girl, I felt so jealous that I really wanted to have one myself.
But then she thought about how she had finally made it through, and it would not be good if she gave birth to another son. She shuddered at the thought of having to go to her three sons' homes and serve their daughters-in-law.
I immediately dismissed the idea.
Seeing that it was already noon, as soon as Mother Lu entered the house, she hurried to the kitchen to make lunch.
Lu Huaijin settled Xu Niannian down:
"Go get some sleep first, I'll call you for dinner later."
Having not slept all morning, she was indeed a little sleepy. After coaxing the children to sleep, Mrs. Li put them in the crib next to her and went home for dinner.
In a blink of an eye, the news that Captain Lu's family had given birth to triplets spread throughout the military district's family compound like wings.
Lu Huaijin lay on the edge of the bed, guarding the crib.
When Xu Niannian woke up, she saw Lu Huaijin sleeping soundly on the edge of the bed, and the children were also sleeping soundly in their cribs.
She gently stroked Lu Huaijin's thick, short hair and felt a tingling sensation on her palm.
Maybe because he was too tired, Lu Huaijin did not wake up.
She propped herself up and looked at the babies next to her.
He touched his daughter's little face with his fingertips, surprised that such a young baby had eyelashes, and touched her eye hair with his hand.
She is the whitest of the three and has the longest eyelashes.
When she touched him, the little baby pouted, then opened his bright black eyes and looked at Xu Niannian.
Xu Niannian put her finger to her lips:
"Don't cry, Daddy is too tired."
Lu Huaijin had already woken up. He glanced at the mother and daughter who were playing, and said in a hoarse voice:
"Are you hungry, Niannian? I'll get you some food. Are you cold? Do you want another blanket?"
