They had just started eating when Lu Nanzheng arrived. He knocked on the door before entering the room and said, "We're eating."
"dad."
"grandfather."
Lu Nanzheng smiled at his grandchildren. Zhou Lanqin had called his office before, but he was working overtime in a meeting and only rushed to the hospital after the meeting.
He just came here in a hurry and didn't buy anything, but he borrowed red paper from someone at work and wrapped a big red envelope for his granddaughter.
Now he even picked up his granddaughter and asked, "Xiaoyun, you gave birth too quickly today. Did you have a doctor check afterwards? Is there anything wrong with your body?"
"The doctor checked and there's nothing wrong. She said I'm in good health and that the quick birth today is because I exercise regularly." Jiang Yun said with a smile.
"I'm glad you're okay. Stay in the hospital for a day or two. Don't rush home to recuperate." Lu Nanzheng hugged his granddaughter, asked her name, and put her back on the bed.
Gong Linglong asked him, "Dad, you haven't eaten yet, right?"
"Not yet. You guys eat, I'll go to the cafeteria to buy some food." Lu Nanzheng usually eats in the company cafeteria.
"Come and eat with us. Linglong brought a lot of food. Jingyang went to the cafeteria to borrow bowls and chopsticks." Zhou Lanqin handed him the bowl and chopsticks that her son had not touched.
The triplets were eating from their bowls. Lu Chuming picked up a piece of meat and gave it to them. "Grandpa, this is the braised pork that Mom cooked. It's delicious. Come on and eat it."
Lu Nanzheng loved the three brothers very much and spoke to them gently and lovingly: "Is it hard for you to study in school with mom during this period?"
“It’s not hard, we enjoy the class.”
They follow their mother out early and come back late every day. They get up on time without her calling them in the morning. Now they have learned to dress themselves, take a bath and go to the toilet, and have strong self-care ability.
Zhou Lanqin picked up some food for them and said with a smile, "Our three good grandchildren are smart and motivated. The leaders and teachers of Peking University like them very much."
Although she did not go to school, her circle was small enough that the news that the three of them followed their mother to study foreign languages in college had spread a long time ago. Whenever the neighbors in the housing estate talked about the triplets, they would praise them endlessly.
Lu Jingyang had just gone to the cafeteria to borrow some bowls and chopsticks, bought a meat dish, and added a portion of Jiang Yun's favorite rice cake.
He had heard everything they had just said. He sat down at the table and said, "The news about the triplets attending Kyoto University has now spread to our school. When our constitutional law teacher arranged our monthly exams last week, he said that the Kyoto University F language class had a perfect score in the mock exam, and the three one-year-olds also got perfect scores. If we can't get a perfect score, he'll borrow the triplets to study in his class for a month."
"Hehe..." Zhou Lanqin and the others all laughed.
Gong Linglong laughed as she ate. "The students in my class are under so much pressure right now. They don't dare to slack off in class. They study very hard during morning and evening self-study sessions, for fear of being outshined by the triplets and losing face."
Lu Jingyang could understand their feelings and asked with a smile: "Sister-in-law, are you feeling any pressure?"
"What do you think?"
Gong Linglong rolled her eyes at him and jokingly said, "I've always had good grades since I was little, and my mom never restricted me. I learn easily and never flip through the books after class. Now I go to school with the three brothers, not to mention truancy. I review my lessons whenever I have free time, for fear of not doing as well as them on the test. You don't know, but I'm hoping every day that they'll be lazy and not go to class with me. I hope they skip classes and don't get full marks so I can save face."
"Ha ha..."
Everyone in the room laughed.
Lu Nanzheng smiled as he picked up some food for his third grandson and said, "Let's take a break today. Grandpa will take you out to play, okay?"
"Grandpa, where are we going to play?"
They also wanted to go out and have fun, but they didn't find any fun places in Kyoto.
Lu Nanzheng was usually very busy and rarely went out to relax. He asked for their opinions: "Do you have anything you particularly like?"
"Grandpa, I want to go see the planes." Lu Changxiao had an idea.
"I want to see it, too."
They knew that Kyoto had an airport and planes often flew overhead, but they had never been to see it in person. Now they don't fly to other places, but they want to see it up close.
"Okay, I'll take you to see the planes this afternoon." Lu Nanzheng agreed without hesitation.
Gong Linglong did not accompany her father-in-law when he took them out for a trip. She happened to be meeting Sun Ting in the afternoon and had to clear out the mountains of goods in the space.
"Linglong, I'll take them out to play in the afternoon and will be back around five o'clock." Lu Nanzheng's unit has a car, so she doesn't need to be responsible for pick-up and drop-off.
Gong Linglong nodded and invited, "Dad, please come to our place for dinner tonight. I'll call Qiu Tong later and ask her to come over too."
"OK."
Lu Nanzheng agreed and continued, "I just have something to tell you. Let's talk about it over dinner."
After he finished speaking to her, he asked his son, "Jingyang, you said before that you would arrange for someone to take care of Xiaoyun and Tangtang. Have you found the right person?"
"We've invited Sister Yu. She's very attentive in taking care of mothers and children, and she cooks great meals. Aunt Gong doesn't need her help right now, so we recommended Sister Yu to come and help take care of them for a while."
Little Han Chichi is now five or six months old. He has been living in the military family compound for this period of time. Gong Wantang is taking care of him herself now, and plans to let Sister Yu take over after he goes to school to work in the second half of the year.
"Dad can't help with taking care of the children, so you should take care of them yourself. I'll cover Sister Yu's salary every month and send it to her on time."
"No need, we have savings, we can just bear it ourselves." Lu Jingyang refused.
"You two are both in school now, and the school subsidies are only enough for yourselves. I will pay for Yusao's salary, and you will have to bear the extra expenses for Tangtang. It's the same for both of you brothers."
After Gong Linglong gave birth to a child, Lu Nanzheng gave her 50 yuan every month, which was considered as Xu Jiayu's salary, and the excess was used to supplement the household expenses.
After the triplets turned one year old, Gong Linglong stopped hiring someone to take care of the children and stopped asking her father-in-law for financial support.
He treated his sons and daughters-in-law equally, providing them with financial support when they needed help. Zhou Lanqin also advised them: "Since your father has made such arrangements, you should accept it. When he gets old and needs care in the future, you should be more filial to him."
Lu Jingyang nodded, agreeing, but didn't say anything.
After dinner, Lu Nanzheng took the triplets out to play. Gong Linglong did not bother them for long and followed them. Zhou Lanqin and Lu Jingyang, mother and son, stayed here to take care of the mother and children.
Gong Linglong went straight to the warehouse after leaving the hospital, put the goods in the warehouse first, and then called Sun Ting to come and receive them.
This time, there were fifty or sixty pigs. She asked Sun Ting to arrange for a butcher to slaughter them. She took away half of the pig, took some extra pig feet and stomach, and gave a small half to her mother-in-law to nourish Jiang Yun. She also gave some to her grandparents and grandfather's house, and delivered two baskets of meat, vegetables and fruits to the military family compound.
