Chapter 44: The Triplets' Growth and Troubles
Two-year-old children already have their own circle of friends.
The Yuan, Shen, Zhang and Xiao families in the alley have a good relationship with each other. Zhuzi and Yanzi from Grandma Yuan's family, Tiedan and Xier from Aunt Shen's family, and Xiaobin from Old Man Zhang's family are all childhood friends of theirs. The children are about the same age, only two or three years old, and they often play together.
The dolls were young and the older children didn't play games with them. They could only play hopscotch, tag, drop the handkerchief, and hide-and-seek together.
This afternoon, they gathered in the inner courtyard of the Xiao family to play the game of Eagle Catches Chicken.
Doubao wants to be an eagle, he thinks eagles are the most majestic. Tangyuan wants to be a mother hen, she thinks she can protect the chicks. Only Mantou doesn't care, he can be anything.
However, since everyone is playing the game together, of course the winner is decided by rock-paper-scissors. The winner becomes the eagle, the first place winner becomes the mother hen, and the rest are chicks.
The candidates were quickly chosen: Zhuzi was the eagle, Mantou was the mother hen, and following Mantou were Tangyuan, Xier, Tiedan, Yanzi, Xiaobin and Doubao.
At the beginning, the team was very agile, and the chicks followed the mother hen to move left and right. The eagle swooped left and right but failed to catch any of them.
Later, after a long time, some chicks were left alone. After a while, the eagle won and the game ended.
Then the second round began. The captured chick started playing rock-paper-scissors again. This time Doubao won. He was the eagle and the mother hen was the hen.
Everyone was having a great time, playing one round after another, and they played more than ten rounds in an hour. In the end, they were almost too tired to run.
Qiao Qinglu quickly called the children into the house to wipe their sweat, drink a glass of light salt water, and took out a plate of milk candy, a plate of washed grapes, and a plate of cut apples to replenish their energy.
After Zhuzi and the others politely thanked Qiao Qinglu, they were treated to some light salt water by Mantou, Doubao and Tangyuan, and each of them took a few candies and some fruits.
Zhuzi said to Mantou, "Mantou, your mother is sick."
Tiedan, Xi'er and the others also nodded, "Yes, yes, there is food for us here, we like your home."
Mantou was very happy, "I like my home too."
Tangyuan waved his hands and said in a grown-up manner, "Your grandma likes you too. Tangyuan likes you, and mommy likes you too."
Doubao ate and said, "Yes, your family has it too."
After a round of business flattery between the little kids, Tiedan suddenly became melancholy, "Oh, I want to grow up, I want to roll hoops and do goat jumping!"
Doubao also started to feel melancholy. He patted Tiedan and said, "Yeah, Hanhan and Guoguo won't play with us. They're so mean. And Tongtong and Guoguo, I saw him playing with glass beads and film yesterday and he wouldn't let me watch."
Zhuzi also sighed, "Hey, I want to grow up too. I want to wear green clothes and have green bags with red stars on them."
Mantou then said, "I don't want green clothes, I want picture books."
Xi'er also lifted her cheeks and said, "Hey, sir, please don't touch my sister because she's wearing a sexy dress with red gauze on it."
Tang Yuan patted his chest and said, "My mom is touching her. You find me, I find mom, and we can touch her together."
Xi'er was immediately touched, "Tangyuan is so delicious."
Yan Zi also joined in the fun, "Tangyuan, I want some too."
Tangyuan brought the girls to find Qiao Qinglu and wanted to touch their mother's red clothes.
After listening to the little cuties' request, Qiao Qinglu asked the three little kids to play outside for a while and she would come over later.
She asked Aunt Qiu and Grandma Yuan to look after the child for a while, then she went into the bedroom, locked the door and entered the space.
She pulled up the batch of children's casual clothes she had bought on the electronic screen, which included small shirts, pure cotton hem pants, and small skirts for girls, as well as solid-color small T-shirts, casual cotton pants, and overalls for boys.
After Qiao Qinglu gave two sets of clothes to each of the triplets and their friends, she carried them out of the space.
Then she took out a red scarf from the wardrobe, opened the door and walked out.
She placed all her things on the eight-immortal table in the living room of the east wing and clapped her hands. "Children, emergency assembly."
Hearing her call, Mantou, Doubao and Tangyuan ran over first, then Zhuzi, Xier and others followed. Even Aunt Qiu, Grandma Yuan and Aunt Shen couldn't help but come over to watch the fun.
Qiao Qinglu asked three girls to stand in the front row and five boys to stand in the back row, and then handed each of them two sets of clothes.
Today, when Tangyuan and the others mentioned clothes for young girls, Qiao Qinglu remembered the batch of clothes in the space. At that time, she thought the colors and styles of these clothes were too old-fashioned, but now when she took them out, she found that they were quite suitable for children of this era.
