Lu Jingchuan looked around casually and saw a lot of snails by the lake. He asked the children, "Would you like to eat snails?"
"Can this be eaten?" None of the triplets had ever eaten it.
"It's edible. The snail meat is quite delicious."
Gong Linglong took out a few baskets from the space and gave them to them. "Go pick some, pick up some to take back and eat. I'll go pick some wild vegetables nearby."
There are a lot of vegetables in the space, but since we came out for a picnic today, we naturally have to eat wild vegetables.
The temperature was very low at the end of October and the water was also cold, but Lu Jingchuan and his three children had strong physiques and were not afraid of the cold at all. They picked up things by the lake for nearly two hours before returning.
Snail meat is delicious, but it is very troublesome to clean. Gong Linglong only cleaned a small bowl and picked out all the meat to stir-fry.
The lunch was simple: a pot of fish, a bowl of snail meat, and a sieve of fried wild vegetable cakes.
We played outside in the morning and headed back to the city after lunch. In the afternoon, our family of five went to see the latest movie, went to the shopping mall to buy some things, and went to my mother-in-law's house for dinner in the evening.
As soon as they arrived at her mother-in-law's house, Jiang Yun announced the good news to them, "Second brother, Linglong, you are going to be uncles and aunts again."
"Again?"
Gong Linglong's eyes fell on her belly.
Jiang Yun touched her flat abdomen and said with a smile, "I went to the hospital for a checkup this morning. It's been over a month."
They originally planned to consider having a second child after a year or two, but the child came so quickly.
Seeing that their aunt was pregnant again, the triplets all looked up at their parents and asked in unison: "When will you give us a sister?"
Lu Jingchuan: "... maybe two more years."
The war is about to start, and Linglong also has plans to study abroad as an exchange student. It is not a good time to get pregnant. The couple has discussed this matter a long time ago and plans to make arrangements after she returns from studying abroad.
If nothing unexpected happens, Gong Linglong will go abroad early next year and return home after two years of study. She will bring the triplets with her and her studies will be very heavy. These two years are really not suitable for pregnancy and childbirth.
When Zhou Lanqin came home from get off work, the kitchen was filled with delicious aromas. As soon as she entered the house, she asked, "Xiaoyun, what did the doctor say? Do you need to lie down and rest at home?"
This morning Jiang Yun felt uncomfortable in her stomach, a little stuffy and painful, so she went to the hospital for a check-up.
"Let me lie down more and exercise less for the first three months."
Jiang Yun was lying on the sofa at this time, one hand covering her abdomen, and the other hand supporting Tangtang. "This baby might be a little delicate and not very stable. I can't run around like I did when I was pregnant with Tangtang."
"Every pregnancy has different reactions. If you feel uneasy, just lie down and rest more. Take a week off from work first. If you still feel uncomfortable, go to the hospital. There will be a doctor to take care of you at any time, so you can rest assured."
Zhou Lanqin made the arrangements, and she really couldn't spare the time to take care of her, but she asked Sister Yu to help at home in the past two years.
Gong Linglong had just been helping with cooking in the kitchen and brought a bowl of pork rib and chestnut soup to Jiang Yun. "Jingyang hasn't come back yet, you two should have some soup to fill your stomach first."
"Meat."
Tangtang is also a little greedy cat. She loves to eat meat. When she sees something delicious, she smiles with her eyes curved.
"You eat meat every day and you've grown like a meatball." Zhou Lanqin's eyes were full of doting.
Tangtang is a chubby, white and fat girl who is very cute. She loves to eat meat and there is never a shortage of meat at home.
Jiang Yun fed her meat and said with a smile, "The nickname 'Tangtang' is wrong. It should be 'Rourou'. She doesn't like candy, but meat. In Linglong's words, she can't live without meat."
"Children love meat."
Their family is well-off and they have never mistreat their children. They have a combination of meat and vegetables for three meals a day, and the children are all raised to be healthy and strong.
Lu Jingyang didn't come back until dark. As soon as he got home, he started to care about Jiang Yun's health. He took a leave of absence this morning to accompany her to the hospital, and came back to have lunch with her at noon. He also asked her to take a leave from work a long time ago.
After the food was served, Lu Jingyang said, "Sister-in-law, our school sent out a notice today that applications for government-sponsored study abroad programs will open next Monday."
"Kyoto University should have been notified as well. I've been on leave these past few days and haven't been to school."
Gong Linglong had already made the decision to study abroad, but she had other ideas. She told them, "I don't plan to take up this government-sponsored study abroad quota. I'm applying to study abroad at my own expense."
Her family was well-off, and she had special circumstances and had to bring three children with her, so she would not take up national resources, and she had to bear all the expenses of studying abroad by herself.
Zhou Lanqin supported any decision she made, "Linglong, just make your own decision."
Lu Jingyang is currently studying law and wants to go abroad for further studies for two years. He has already discussed this with Jiang Yun. He has excellent academic performance and meets the requirements of the political review in all aspects. There is definitely a place for him in this government-sponsored study abroad program.
"Jingchuan, you should take good care of your health at home during this time, and spend more time with Linglong, Mingbao and the others."
"You're a soldier, so I won't say much about your responsibilities. You're working hard outside, and Linglong is the one taking care of everything at home. Not only does she have to study, but she also has to take care of the children. She also runs so many businesses outside. If she weren't talented and capable, she wouldn't be able to handle it."
"In your small family, Linglong has contributed far more than you have. She is truly a great and outstanding daughter-in-law. Marrying her is the greatest blessing of your life."
"During your vacation, you should help her share more of the burden, let her relax and rest, and spend more time with the children."
Zhou Lanqin's words fell into Lu Jingchuan's ears, and he nodded seriously: "Mom, I know."
Being at the center of Kyoto's political power, Zhou Lanqin was exposed to many new decisions. Thinking that there might be another war next, and that he would definitely go to the front lines, she said with a serious face, "You are all ambitious children with your own ideas. I know you have planned your future paths. I won't say more, but I will just remind you that whether you are on the battlefield or studying abroad in the future, you must take good care of yourselves. Mom is waiting for your safe return home."
"Mom, I will."
Lu Jingchuan knew that she was most worried about him, so he picked up some food for her and promised, "We will come back safely."
Zhou Lanqin's face was tense, and she nodded: "Okay."
Lu Jingchuan rested at home for half a month and received the transfer order earlier than he expected. On the night of the first heavy snow in Kyoto, he led the elite special forces to the south for support.
After he left, Gong Linglong also started arranging her study abroad.
This time, the Foreign Languages College had ten government-sponsored places. She made a donation in the name of the Gong family and added ten outstanding students. Their tuition and living expenses for studying abroad for two years were all borne by the Gong family. The fee standard was the same as that for government-sponsored students. She also handed the money over to the school in advance for unified distribution.
When the ten selected students learned that it was she who provided the financial support, they all cried with joy and ran to the classroom to thank her.
