Chapter 116: Chapter 116 what? Radio??

Chapter 116 -116 what? Radio??

Wang Hong saw that the man’s refusal wasn’t because he couldn’t bear to leave his family, and her eyes sparkled with excitement.

“Father, we can just lease our land to someone else to farm,” she said. “All they have to give us is ten percent of the crops, and they can keep the rest. I bet no one would refuse that.”

Seeing her husband wavering, Wang Hong continued, “Look at our three kids, how happy they are when they come here. Every time I see other children with their families, it makes me think of our own.

Besides, if we stay in the Provincial City, our children can go to schools here. Isn’t that hundreds of times better than the education they’d get in our village?

Our kids are all obedient and well-behaved. We didn’t have the means before, but now we do. If the kids want to learn, we’ll grit our teeth and support their education.

Who knows? Maybe our family could also have a university student one day?”

Wang Jianjun looked at the three children in the courtyard, his eyes filled with pride and self-assurance.

But he still hesitated. “But can we really make it in the city? Everything costs money here, even a bunch of scallions. And without a job, what would I do in the city? I can’t just sit around spending money. I might as well stay and farm at home to save some money on food.”

Wang Hong was delighted, knowing her husband was softening. She quickly mentioned the suggestion Susu had given.

“Susu suggested that we could buy vegetables from fellow villagers nearby and sell them in the city. Everyone has to go out to buy groceries. If we hawk them door-to-door, it even saves them the trip,” she explained eagerly.

Wang Jianjun felt tempted. Naturally, as a man, he wanted to stay with his wife and children. If it were really possible, why wouldn’t he want to stay with them in the Provincial City?!

“Wife, shall we give it a try?”

“Yes, Father, for the kids. Let’s work hard together to stay in the Provincial City.”

…

The three siblings were ecstatic to learn they were staying in the Provincial City, circling around their parents with joy.

“But, Mother, our eldest has already started the second grade in the village, he’s halfway through the school year. What do we do now?”

Wang Hong was also taken aback; in the excitement of discussing the move with her husband, she had forgotten to figure out the schooling situation for the children.

Hitting her thigh, she exclaimed, “Oh my! I really forgot to ask about that. I’ll go ask right away.”

Schooling for the kids was a significant matter, so the couple went right back to Susu’s house.

Susu, seeing a couple with such determination, was naturally willing to help and promised with a smile that she would find out more information.

“Don’t worry, Sister Hong, Brother-in-law. I’ll ask around and let you know once I find something,” she reassured them.

“Aiya, thank you so much, Xiao Su,” they said gratefully.

Wang Hong and her husband felt a little bad for troubling Susu so much and were deeply thankful for their benefactor. No matter what, as long as Susu needed them, they were ready to put in the work.

“Mother, we must have been very charitable in our previous lives to meet such good people in this one,” Wang Jianjun mused.

“Indeed, if it weren’t for Susu, we’d still be scratching a living out of the soil, going from hunger to fullness,” Wang Hong remarked.

“If not for my wife earning money, I’d still be bedridden. Wife, I must have done something right in my past life to deserve you,” he said affectionately.

“Oh come on, we’re an old couple now, no need for such mushy talk,” she replied, feigning exasperation.

“It’s not mushy. My wife is the best, and she’s the best mother for our kids,” he declared proudly.

…

Early in the morning, Father Lu led the three wide-awake and energetic triplets around the courtyard.

“Old man, keep an eye on the kids, don’t let them fall!” Mrs. Lu warned.

“Stop fussing, would I really let my grandkids get hurt?!” he retorted.

“You old man, dare to let the grandkids get hurt, and this old lady will hit you with a shovel.” Mrs. Lu stood in the hall, one hand on her hip, the other waving a spatula menacingly.

Father Lu didn’t bother arguing with his increasingly combative wife, just watched the three grandkids toddling around the yard with a contented smile.

Today, Susu was resting at home. But with three eager grandparents fighting over who got to watch the children, Susu wasn’t needed for childcare and thus lay sprawled on the kang, leisurely crossing her legs.

The trio of oldies never went grocery shopping without taking the triplets along: they’d make the tricycle cozy with soft cushions and place each triplet inside.

“Let’s go, time for a stroll.”

“Lo~”

“Lo~”

“Lo~”

Like parrots mimicking speech, they copied Grandpa’s words, happily waving their chubby little hands.

The three elders with the three young ones headed straight for the vegetable market.

In the bustling market, the appearance of the triplets caused quite a stir.

“Oh my goodness, these three kids are so chunky, they’ve been raised really well.”

“Wow, look how plump and fair they are! How did Big Sis manage that?”

Mrs. Lu never stopped talking, puffing out her chest with pride, “Yes, my family has triplets.”

Father Lu, “Yes, triplet siblings.”

Lu Xiaogu, “Right, triplets.”

Everyone: “…”

All the old men and women were green with envy, oh what fortune, to have three babies all at once, complete with a pair for the handle.

On the way, Pingping kept a cool facade, indifferent to those who approached to touch her.

An’an would grin at anyone, earning delighted smiles from all the elders and aunties.

Lele, shy, covered his chubby face and crouched behind his brother.

The family of six returned home in triumph, brimming with confidence, and encountered many elderly men and women chatting outside in the neighborhood.

“Oh my, look how well this child’s been raised, so fair and chubby, so adorable.”

“And this boy, look at his chubby arms, like little segments.”

Father Lu beamed, showing all his teeth, “My triplets.”

“That’s great, get on home now, don’t keep Susu waiting anxiously.”

Mrs. Lu rolled her eyes at her husband, he really had been showing off the whole way.

Lu Xiaogu pursed her lips, trying to suppress a laugh; her second brother was such a character.

Susu was wondering why they had been gone for so long and still hadn’t returned, and just as she was thinking this, she saw them coming back.

The three little ones rushed towards their mother, babbling and waving their hands.

…

Seeing Father Lu reluctantly hugging the three little ones, Susu looked sympathetically at her father-in-law, who would be returning to his solitary life.

Not wanting to leave her father-in-law alone in the silent house, Susu bought two radios that very day.

“Mom, this one’s for you and my Little Aunt to listen to at home, and I’ll give the other one to Dad to keep him from getting bored by himself.”

Mrs. Lu scolded affectionately, “You child, well-fed and well-kept, what’s there to be bored about? And you even bought two radios; your dad will be so thrilled he’ll be showing off all over town.”

Father Lu, smiling, adjusted his clothes and clasped his hands behind his back. After locking up, he strolled over to where the Family Court was liveliest.

“Well, that’s unusual, Old Lu is out for a walk today, not lying at home missing his wife and kids.”

“Ha ha ha.”

Father Lu maintained his composure, smiling broadly and waving his hand, “Just got a bit carried away listening to the radio at home, so I thought I’d come out for a walk, get some fresh air.”

“What? A radio??”
