Chapter 108 -108 Baby Talk

After bidding a reluctant farewell to her old partner, Mrs. Lu mercilessly locked the front door without a second thought.

Watching the door close with a “Duang,” Father Lu muttered to himself that his wife really wasn’t the least bit reluctant to part with her man.

“Wife, do you want to rest at home a bit longer before coming back to work? I’m worried your body can’t handle it.”

Su Xianyue shook her head tenderly, “No need, I’ve already rested for more than two months, plenty enough. Besides, the shop is busy, and we can’t keep letting the elder sister-in-law work so hard.”

“Wife, if you’re tired just say so. Anyway, my salary can support another wife too.”

Su Xianyue rolled her eyes, feigning ferocity, “What? You want to support another wife?”

“No, no, I mean I can support my wife even if she doesn’t work.” Xiao Sun sheepishly scratched his head.

“Alright, get going then.”

Chasing away her lingering husband, Su Xianyue tugged at her clothes, took a few deep breaths, and then pushed open the door and stepped inside.

“Sister Xian Yue, you’re back.”

Su Sanya had heard from her second sister early in the morning and immediately ran out with a beaming smile to welcome Su Xianyue, sizing her up while linking arms with her.

“Sister Xian Yue, you’ve gained weight all over, you obviously had a good confinement, your complexion is rosy.”

The others, hearing the commotion, rushed out one by one, each with joy written all over their faces.

“Sister Xian Yue.”

“Sister Xian Yue.”

“Xian Yue is back.”

Susu was worried that Xian Yue might not adapt to returning to work so soon after childbirth, so she had talked to her younger sister about it the day before, asking her to keep an extra eye on Xian Yue.

Su Sanya, holding onto Su Xianyue’s plump arm, helped introduce her, “Sister Xian Yue, this is Sister Xiao Hu. She’s new here and in charge of greeting customers and taking orders at the front.”

“Sister Xiao Hu, this is my sister Xian Yue; she used to be in charge of the pastries and just finished her confinement.”

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, they didn’t delay any further and hurried back to their posts to wash and prepare vegetables and the like.

Having been busy at the store for a long time early in the morning, Susu, who finally didn’t have to wake up early for work, lay down on the kang bed ready to sleep until naturally waking up.

However, in the midst of sleep, she suddenly felt a bit short of breath, and upon opening her eyes, she saw the triplets sprawled on top of her. She glanced at the time—it was just past eight.

She pinched each of the chubby little cheeks, both annoyed and amused, “You three little rascals, trying to crush your mom to death, all piling on top of me.”

The triplets thought their mother was playing with them and let out giddy giggles.

Unable to sleep due to the noise made by the triplets, Susu couldn’t stay in bed any longer, so she neatly folded the quilt and got up.

Restless children, the triplets would not stop babbling in the house whenever they couldn’t see anyone.

With the cold weather slowing the drying of clothes and diapers, to prevent the triplets from wetting their pants, Mrs. Lu and Lu Xiaogu took turns attending to the triplets’ peeing needs.

“Ah.”

“Ah ah.”

“Ah ah.”

The triplets reached out their little hands toward the door, babbling incessantly, and Susu, worried they might start crying again, hurried back to the room after washing up and climbed onto the kang.

The three little ones sat in a row, looking at their mother and babbling away.

The old mother, Susu, couldn’t understand the baby talk and randomly nodded in response to the chattiness of the triplets.

Laughing and crying, she said, “Mom, Little Aunt, these three tykes can’t even talk yet. What will it be like when they start speaking?”

“Afraid they’ve birthed three little chatterboxes?”

“No, that’s not quite right, the eldest Pingping talks less, spitting out words one at a time, as if dealing with his younger brother and sister.”

Lu Xiaogu, “I guess An’an and Lele will probably talk a lot when they grow up, Pingping is like his dad, not very talkative.”

Mrs. Lu nodded, “Exactly, the second child was like that when he was younger, playing by himself as soon as he woke up, never fussy or noisy.”

Susu touched Pingping’s little head, gently, placed the child on the mattress, and softly patted him to sleep.

Seeing that their brother had fallen asleep, An’an and Lele lay next to him, chattering to each other, and soon fell asleep too.

The three adults, afraid of waking the triplets, didn’t talk much.

Mrs. Lu and Lu Xiaogu were cutting fabric to make clothes, and when Susu had nothing to do, she knitted sweaters. Thanks to prior practice knitting for her family, she was now quite skilled at it.

“It’s normal for your wife to be worried, a man with such abilities, and the couple not staying together often, of course she’d be anxious.”

“It’s not that I don’t trust you, but I’m afraid some shameless women would relentlessly pester you.”

Aunt Su Liu Fen worried about her son, fearing that the young couple would quarrel and that the children would suffer from the strife.

“Hey, do you think someone just came in?” Lu Xiaogu seemed to vaguely hear talking.

No sooner had the words left her mouth than the sound of the door opening could be heard in the main room, and soon after, Uncle Su’s family of three walked in.

“Brother, elder sister-in-law, Cheng He.”

“Uncle Su, Aunt, Cheng He is here.”

“In-laws, Brother, elder sister-in-law, Cheng He, come sit on the kang.”

Mrs. Lu saw her own older brother and his family coming over and quickly asked, “Brother and sister-in-law, what’s going on? Is Cheng He not working today?”

Aunt Su Liu Fen slipped off her shoes and climbed onto the kang to warm her feet, “It’s just that the second’s wife, she’s at home all day worrying herself silly, afraid that the second will be unfaithful, insisting on taking the kids and joining him in the Provincial City.”

“His father and I agree, they are both still young, they can’t always… The kids miss their father so much too.”

Seeing everyone looking at him, Su Chenghe scratched his head, feeling a bit embarrassed.

“She just gets paranoid at home, I’m busy earning money every day, where would I find the time to meet other people.”

Aunt Su looked at her son and said dismissively, “You know nothing, even though flies don’t bite a seamless egg, some people just won’t stop pestering. Now that all the money is in your hands, no wonder your wife is worried.”

“It’s not like I don’t hand over the money. It’s just that she’s always sending money back to her parents’ home, and I’m worried she’ll start getting her old complaints again,” Su Chenghe muttered.

“But it’s a good thing, once his wife comes, she can help with cooking and doing the laundry, a home doesn’t feel complete without a woman.”

Mrs. Lu, “Aunt, what about the two kids?”

“The little ones aren’t in school yet, they’ll come over with their parents. When they’re of age, they can attend school in the Provincial City, for sure it’s better than our county.”

Su Chenghe, after helping his parents bring their things, sat for a while and left, needing to use his rest time to check on the house.

The last thing he needed was his wife making a fuss at home; after all, he was a young and vigorous man who yearned for a good life with his wife and kids by the warm kang.

After having lunch, Uncle Su and Aunt headed off with their baskets to see their daughter and grandchildren.

Ever since their daughter gave birth, the couple would bring something to eat and check in every so often.

The in-laws were easy to get along with, the son-in-law was gainfully employed, filial, and cared for their daughter. Every time they visited, the son-in-law always gave them something to take back; they never returned empty-handed.

Of course, the couple also brought plenty of things each time they visited.

As winter approached, the days grew short, with darkness falling by six o’clock.

Approaching winter, theft cases increased, prompting the Police Station to step up patrols in the vicinity.

Susu picked up Xiao Yu from school and went home, bringing her husband some steaming hot food and hot brown sugar and egg drink.
