“Xiao Yu, you bring the food to your uncle. I’ll wait for you at the door.” Susu was too lazy to get out of the car and simply assigned the task to the little one.

“Mhm.”

Xiao Yu scampered inside and spotted the tall man at a glance. He ran over and tugged at the man’s large hand.

“Uncle, Aunt told me to bring you food. You have to eat well.”

Lu Xiaoting’s big palm patted the little guy, reassuring him to eat well. “Okay, Uncle knows. Hurry back home with your Aunt.”

“Mhm, goodbye Uncle.”

“Old Lu, what delicious treat has your wife brought you this time?”

“Brother Lu, why is your elder sister-in-law so nice? She’s always sending food and soup every day, without fail. Does my elder sister-in-law have a younger sister? Introduce me, come on.”

“Get out of here. Brother Lu, if your elder sister-in-law has a younger sister, introduce her to me. I’m the one with the smallest mouth in my family, and all my brothers and sisters are…” The young guy elbowed his way through his friends to introduce himself.

“Go away, you’re everywhere.”

Lu Xiaoting was not at all polite and kicked each one of them. These cheeky boys even dared to have thoughts about his little aunt—they deserved a few kicks on behalf of his wife.

Fortunately, the recent thefts were limited to stealing firewood. With the Police Station’s investigation and enhanced patrols, there were no more reports of stolen firewood from the community.

It’s highly likely that the petty thieves thought nothing of it, but they didn’t expect the victims, who were losing their firewood, to stand in the alley scolding for a whole week, not to mention they went to the police.

…

As winter arrived, temperatures plummeted.

Susu, who was afraid of the cold, cooped herself up at home, minimizing her need to go out.

Unless necessary, she would not step outside.

The cold in the north was one thing, but the wind felt like a knife on the face; it was brutally cold and sharp.

On top of that, consecutive heavy snowfalls made shoes wet quickly and roads slippery, leading to potential falls—such an incident in the depth of winter was no small matter.

The frozen ground in winter was hard as a rock; a fall could leave you sore for days.

“Second Aunt, I got up early this morning to make steamed buns. I brought some for you.”

Second Su came in carrying a basket, with two kids following behind.

“Oh my, you should have saved them for your own children. Coming all this way to bring some to me. Come on in and warm up by the fire.”

“Hehe, I wasn’t doing much at home anyway, and the two little ones were fussing about wanting to see their brother and sister.”

“Second Su.”

“Cai Xia is here. Hurry up and get Xiao Dong and Xiao Chun onto the kang to warm up,” Susu quickly made room for them.

In the cold of winter, the head of the kang was Susu’s spot, and in the heat of summer, Susu would automatically migrate to the cooler end of the kang.

“You two be quiet and watch over your brother and sister. Don’t wake them up, got it? Otherwise, Mom’s gonna spank your little butts,” Second Su Cai Xia threatened the children with her hand raised.

Xiao Dong and Xiao Chun both covered their butts and nodded earnestly, “Got it.”

Susu couldn’t help but laugh, watching the two brothers’ actions; it seemed their butts had been on the receiving end of a spanking more than once.

Second Su Cai Xia felt a little embarrassed, “These two rascals are so naughty, they need a spanking every three days.”

The adults didn’t bother with the kids and gathered around the head of the kang to chat.

“Wah~”

“Wah~”

“Wah~”

Three cries of babies echoed to the sky; the adults hurriedly went to check on the children.

Second Su Cai Xia slapped one of her sons, “Tell me, did you two make your brother and sister cry?”

“No, we didn’t do anything.”

“That’s right.”

The brothers pouted and rubbed their foreheads.

“Cai Xia, don’t blame the kids; the triplets just had a little accident,”

Wide-eyed, Zhang Caixia stared at the three fresh little ‘gifts’ and blinked, “Wow, these triplets really are different—even their bowel movements are synchronized.”

Then, turning to meet the reproachful gazes of her two sons, Wang Caixia glared, “What are you staring at? It’s only this once that you’ve been wronged.”

Xiao Dong and Xiao Chun: “…”

Seeing the two little brothers’ mouths almost pouting to their chins, Susu smiled and patted the tigerish heads of the two.

“Xiao Dong and Xiao Chun, go have some candy on your own; it’s on that cabinet. Do you see it?”

The two brothers looked at their mother in unison and only after seeing her nodding did they happily hop down from the bed to grab some candy.

…

In the blink of an eye, New Year’s Eve approached, and the shop, as usual, closed its doors on the twenty-ninth of the lunar year.

Susu prepared a ten-yuan New Year’s red packet for everyone, delighting them all so much that they each tucked one away, grinning from ear to ear.

With Huang Ying and her husband taking care of the braised food stall and the shop, there was no need for concern.

Feeling anxious, Su Sanya held tightly to her second elder sister’s things as they both boarded the bus back to the county.

Lu Xiaogu was all smiles on the journey, carrying gifts specially bought for the kids and the men, and right after getting off the bus, she was whisked away by her Little Aunt’s husband, who had been waiting early at the bus stop.

The triplets, bundled up snugly, made no fuss and just rolled their big eyes round and round wondrously.

Father Lu had cleaned the house thoroughly in the morning, the stove inside was burning brightly, keeping the entire house comfortably warm.

It turned out that the youngest couple returned the earliest. After a while, they found it somewhat amusing to see Father Lu anxiously pacing at the door.

“Father, have a seat. My brothers will be back soon.”

No sooner had the words been spoken than Da Hei’s voice echoed from the yard, and Father Lu, his face beaming, rushed outside.

“Father.”

“Uncle Lu.”

“Hey hey, come inside and get warm; it’s toasty in here now.”

Having walked the whole way, the adults were fine, but no matter how thick the shoes, the cold was unbearable for the feet.

As soon as they stepped inside, they were greeted by the warm air, and the adults quickly removed the triplets’ thick cotton clothes.

The trio curiously looked all around, and upon seeing strangers, they stared intently at Father Lu and the young couple.

“My dear grandkids, do you still remember your grandpa?”

“Pingping, An’an, Lele, I’m your Little Uncle; come give me a hug.”

The three little ones, startled, stretched out their tiny hands to find grandma and mama.

“Waaah,” in a flurry, they scrambled towards their mom and grandma.

The adults all laughed heartily at the triplets’ antics, while Susu and Mrs. Lu took off their shoes, climbed onto the bed, and cuddled the triplets in their arms.

With the backing of grandma and mama, the brothers seemed less frightened and began to chatter away happily at everyone with their little hands waving.

Lele lay obediently in her mother’s arms, occasionally blinking her big eyes and peeking stealthily.

By afternoon, Brother Lu and his family of four also arrived home.

Elder sister-in-law Jiang Nan had a bright red nose from the cold, perhaps learning from last year’s lesson, for she wore a thin cotton jacket underneath her wool coat.

Bulging under the layers, the family initially mistook it for her having put on weight.

“Brother, Sister.”

The moment little sisters Xiao Yu and Xiao Xue saw their younger siblings, their eyes lit up, and they scrambled onto the bed in excitement.

Mrs. Lu, worried that the sisters might bring in a chill and give the triplets a cold, hastily instructed the two granddaughters to warm up before coming over to play with their brothers and sister.

Jiang Nan quietly rolled her eyes; the old lady truly favored boys over girls, and her bias was fierce. It was all because her own two were girls.

Mrs. Lu was solely focused on the children and did not notice her daughter-in-law’s eye roll; otherwise, there would have been some serious questions.
