Chapter 107 -107 Earthy Smell

Mrs. Lu had gone the whole morning without seeing the triplets and was already feeling an unbearable longing, so she hastily embraced her grandson and brought him into the house.

Father Lu was enviously eyeing his grandson and granddaughter. Were it not for the triplets soundly sleeping, he would have wrested his granddaughter from his son’s hands long ago.

“Pingping, An’an, Lele, grandpa’s sweetheart darlings, did you miss grandpa?”

“Aiyo, my eldest grandson and granddaughter are so good-looking.”

Listening to his chatty spouse, Mrs. Lu was on the verge of giving him a swipe, but feared waking the dear grandchildren so instead she just grabbed the old man’s ear and pulled him off the bed.

“Ouch, ouch, ouch… let go, let go, let go…”

Little Aunt Lu watched as her brother was yanked down by his ear by the second sister-in-law, holding back laughter as she quietly exited and thoughtfully shut the door behind her.

Father Lu, “…”

“What’s the big idea, woman, twisting my ear like that for no good reason?” Father Lu exhaled, massaging the ear nearly twisted off by his wife.

Mrs. Lu stood with hands on hips and a stern look, glancing at the triplets sleeping soundly on the bed and lowered her voice.

“What are you hollering about? Afraid you won’t wake up our grandsons and granddaughters?”

Father Lu pursed his lips, “Well, I haven’t seen them for a few days so I just missed my eldest grandson and granddaughter.”

Mrs. Lu simply rolled her eyes, “You can look all you want, why keep on about it? Go on and on and I’ll toss you right out.”

Hey! This wife of mine, her temper’s only getting bigger.

Watching his increasingly temperamental spouse, Father Lu silently closed his mouth.

The time had come to October.

The temperature had plummeted. The triplets were already sporting their little thermal pants and tops, but still in split-crotch trousers for easy diaper changes.

Woken by her biological clock, Susu opened her eyes to find the house dark and her first thought was that it wasn’t time yet and she might as well continue sleeping.

However, the man beside her stirred, sitting up to start getting dressed. Susu checked her wristwatch–it was already past seven.

“It’s past seven and still so dark?”

“Mhm, looks like there’s a sandstorm blowing.”

Susu sniffed the air, catching the familiar scent of earth, and nodded—sure enough, a sandstorm was brewing.

Recently, with the cold weather, many people couldn’t be bothered to cook, making the store very busy in the morning. Without dilly-dallying, Susu quickly washed up and cycled to the store.

“Sister, you’re here! What do you want to eat? I’ll get it for you,” Su Sanya popped her head out.

Susu waved it off, “No need, I’m not hungry yet, I’ll eat later.”

No sooner had she finished speaking than customers started streaming into the store. The few of them didn’t chat much and just busied with their work.

“Boss, I want two pork and cabbage buns, and one milk tea. Put in extra pickles—I love them.”

“Boss, I’ll have a fried dough cake and a bowl of milk tea.”

“Boss, give me a serving of…”

…

The six people in the store were rushed off their feet all morning.

After the breakfast rush, everyone finally got a chance to grab a bowl and have their meal.

Susu, watching Su Sanya who had grown quite a bit, was filled with relief. The kid was opinionated, not listening to everything at home and knew how to go out and find opportunities for herself.

“Sanya, how’s it going, are you tired?”

“Not tired at all.”

Su Sanya was savoring her bun and milk tea, “Sister, back at home I’d get up at dawn to start work, busy from morning till night and all for just two corn cakes.

“Now, not only can I make money, but there’s also time to rest after being busy and the food is good, too. I’m so pleased, why would I be tired?”

“Sister, I’ve grown up.”

Susu pressed her voice low, her cheeks flushed with redness.

The experienced driver, Susu, glanced at Little Aunt’s full chest, saw the shy expression on the little girl’s face, and comforted her with a laugh.

“Uh-huh, my Sanyi has grown into a beautiful young lady, too. In the future, you’ve got to keep your eyes peeled; make money first and don’t let any man deceive you.”

“Sis~”

Sanyi’s face turned bright red as she coquettishly said, “Sis, I won’t be fooled, don’t worry. Right now, the most important thing for me is to work hard and make money.”

Susu also took the opportunity to caution her younger sister, to prevent her from being duped by some worthless man at her young age.

However, seeing that the little girl’s eyes were only focused on work and making money, she felt much more at ease.

The sisters waited until the shop closed before riding bicycles back home.

Having not seen their mother all day, the triplets were already restless, cooing, and flailing their chubby arms, eager to go out.

Father Lu, Mrs. Lu, and Lu Xiaogu took turns holding each tightly swaddled child, walking and soothing them in the courtyard.

Lu Xiaoting couldn’t compete with his own parents and Little Aunt, so he simply stayed inside, watching and helping Xiao Yu with his homework.

“Ah, ah.”

Upon seeing their mother, the three little ones immediately became restless, reaching out with their hands and crying persistently. Mrs. Lu and Lu Xiaogu nearly dropped the squirming little ones they held.

“Mommy’s back.”

“Ah.”

“Ah, ah.”

The sisters had a chilly ride back home because of the strong wind. Listening to the overlapping cries, Susu couldn’t help but laugh and cry at the same time as she embraced the three little ones in a row.

“Ah, ah?”

The three siblings clung tightly to their mother’s clothes with strong little hands, looking at her as they babbled, as if to say, “Mommy, why did you come back so late?”

Susu kissed each of the siblings and asked, “Were you all good today? Did you make any fuss?”

“Ah, ah.”

Mrs. Lu, smiling, pointed to her grandsons clinging to their mother, “These little ones have been restless since earlier, all wanting to go outside.”

“Don’t listen to your mother. The children are so well-behaved. They hardly cry, unlike other kids their age who are always bawling. Our sweethearts don’t wet their beds much anymore. They know how to be considerate of their grandparents and make a fuss when they want to pee,” Father Lu praised his grandchildren enthusiastically.

That evening, the children clung to their mother. Dinner was made by Sanyi and Mrs. Lu, a big pot of steaming noodle soup.

Father Lu, missing his grandchildren immensely, sat eagerly by, watching them clap their little hands in delight.

“Look at you, Dad. The weather isn’t too cold now, but come winter, you really shouldn’t come over every holiday.”

Father Lu glared at his wife; she enjoyed spending every day blissfully with the grandchildren but seemed to mind his presence.

“What am I supposed to do alone at home? It’s bleak. I can handle it on normal days, but you don’t want me to come over during the holidays? I might as well retire early.”

Mrs. Lu slapped her husband without much patience, “Stop babbling nonsense. Just go to work. If you retire this early, how much can your pension be?

Stick it out a bit longer, then use the pension to buy nice things for the grandchildren, alright? Are you daft, you old fool?”

Father Lu rubbed the spot on his back where his partner had hit him, feeling somewhat sullen, “I was just saying. What’s the hurry? It’s just that seeing you with the triplets every day makes me jealous.”

“Ah, I’ve got to go back to work tomorrow.”

Father Lu sighed. When would these days end?

The next morning

Father Lu gulped down his breakfast and hurried to the bus station to catch the earliest bus.

Before leaving, he wanted to see his grandchildren but felt too embarrassed to intrude on a house full of women and children.
