Chapter 133: Chapter 133 New Year’s Visit
Chapter 133 -133 New Year’s Visit
On the eve of the New Year, aside from the six children who couldn’t stay awake and fell asleep early, the adults insisted on staying up until the New Year before going to bed.
Susu was so sleepy her eyelids were fighting each other, and as soon as she hit the pillow, she dozed off into a daze.
She felt like she hadn’t slept for long when she was awakened by various noises outside the house; it was still dark.
Susu lifted her hand to check the time on her wrist, only to see it wasn’t even seven o’clock.
“Mommy, get up.”
“Mommy, the sun is shining on your butt.”
“Mommy, why are you still sleeping?”
Pingping and Anan jumped onto their mother, chirping and calling for her.
The triplets had already woken up, and if it wasn’t for their father instructing them not to disturb their mother, they would surely have been chirping and running around already.
Susu was almost sprayed with old blood as she was squashed by her chunky sons and daughters, and she pinched their little tufts of hair.
“Mommy is going to be crushed, get up a little.”
“Oh”

The three siblings immediately sat up and stared eagerly at their mother.
“Come on, kids, let’s go brush our teeth and wash our faces with dad.”
Lu Xiaoting scooped up all three kids, “Wife, if you’re tired, sleep a bit longer, I’ll take the kids to the eastern room.”
“Mhm.”
Susu tossed and turned but had lost the will to sleep, and considering it was the first day of the New Year, she finally crawled out of bed.
“Mum, elder sister-in-law, Lu Xiaomei.” Su Nian felt a moment’s embarrassment.
“There’s hot water in the teapot, Susu. Hurry up and wash up, and then we can eat just in time.”
Susu peeked at the white and plump dumplings and quickly washed and got ready.
7:20 AM.
Looking at a big steamer full of dumplings, everyone’s chopsticks were twitching with anticipation.
Mrs. Lu and two others smiled with their bowls and chopsticks in hand, “Eat up, let’s see who’s lucky enough to find a coin.”
Brother Lu glanced at his younger brother, his chopsticks moving swiftly, “Second brother, eat slower and give us a chance to find a coin.”
Lu Xiaomei nodded, “Exactly, second Brother, and dad, you too, slow down. It’s always you two who find the coins every year. Mum, Brother, elder sister-in-law, Lu Xiao, I never had that luck.”
Jiang Nan added with a smile, “And second brother-in-law, too, it seemed like it was second brother-in-law who found the coins the last few years.”
“Right, right, right, elder sister-in-law, eat slower too, give us others a chance.”
“Okay, I’ll eat slower, let’s see who finds the coin this year.” Susu couldn’t stop laughing.
The couple exchanged a look and laughed, slowing down their dumpling consumption.
Everyone else’s chopsticks were flying, hastening the speed of eating dumplings.
“Oh, sorry everyone, I found the coin this year.”
The whole family turned to look, and there was Father Lu, all teeth in his laughter, holding a one jiao coin.
“Ah, forgot to remind dad to eat slower.”
“I’m not eating anymore, I’m too full.”
“I’m stuffed too, and I didn’t even find a coin.”
…
Mrs. Lu took the coin from her husband’s hand with a smile and stuck it on the wealth god.
After breakfast, Brother Lu and his wife, along with the sisters and Lu Xiaoting, took the New Year’s gifts like brown sugar, which were valuable in those days, and went to pay New Year’s visits.
The triplets clamored to follow their elder brother, but Mrs. Lu was concerned and made sure the triplets were bundled up warmly with hats, scarves, and gloves.
“Tianyu, keep an eye on your younger brother and sister, don’t let them fall.”
“Alright. Don’t worry, grandma, I’ll definitely take good care of them.”
Then, Susu watched as Xiao Yu led three round little ones, waddling like penguins.
The old mother couldn’t help but laugh out loud like a pig’s snort.
Mrs. Lu glanced at her daughter-in-law with no amusement, this was just to prevent the children from getting cold.
As soon as the three little ones left, the house instantly became much quieter.
Susu lay sprawled on the kang bed, enjoying a rare moment of peace.
It wasn’t long before people arrived one after another, bearing gifts to pay a New Year’s visit.
Susu and her in-laws quickly served up brown sugar water, and there were also dried fruits and nuts on the kang bed, specially prepared for entertaining guests.
…
“Happy New Year, Grandpa and Grandma.”
“Happy New Year, what sweet little mouths you have.”
The elderly couple who opened the door were all smiles, tickled by the triplets, marveling at how well these children were raised, their sweet little mouths so clever.
“Here, take some candy, sunflower seeds, and peanuts.”
The old lady watched the chubby triplets with a beaming smile, grabbing a good deal extra for them.
“Thank you, Grandma, goodbye Grandma.”
Xiao Yu smiled and took the triplets’ little hands along with his little friends.
The triplets were incredibly sweet talkers, calling younger folks ‘Uncle’ and ‘Auntie’, and those older ‘Grandpa’ and ‘Grandma’.
With their endearing words, they charmed everyone in the Family Court, receiving more candies and treats than the other children.
A few of Xiao Yu’s friends who came along also benefited, grinning from ear to ear, calling out ‘brother’ and ‘sister’ so naturally.
“Brothers and sisters, thanks to you, I got more treats today than in past years. Here, these are for you.”
“That’s right, that’s right.”
The boys each stuffed a good amount more into the triplets’ bags.
“Hehe, thank you, Brother. You’re so nice.”
The triplets had especially sweet mouths.
Xiao Yu forehead in hand, hurried back with his bag stuffed almost to bursting with his siblings.
The four siblings returned home with their little bags filled to the brim.
Da Hei followed behind his siblings, wagging his tail cheerfully.
“My goodness, did you all just go plundering?”
“Mom, come help.”
Susu couldn’t help but laugh and cry, quickly taking the overloaded bags up onto the kang bed, promptly helping the triplets out of their coats to sit on the kang bed.
Xiao Yu lined up each sibling’s shoes neatly by the kang before taking off his own and climbing up.
“The brothers and sisters are just too endearing to the grandpas and grandmas, uncles and aunties of the Family Court.”
Susu could easily imagine the scene of the Family Court’s residents eagerly stuffing the little ones with seeds and sweets.
The four siblings sat cross-legged on the kang, dividing their treats into small piles for each of them.
Mrs. Lu, looking at her grandchildren with affection, joked with a smile, “How come there are two extra piles here?”
“For elder sister.”
The triplets unanimously said without looking up.
Susu was strict about the children’s consumption of sweets and snacks, so Xiao Yu wasn’t worried and quickly cautioned the triplets, who were eyeing the candy with shining eyes.
“You need to eat less sunflower seeds and peanuts, or you’ll get a sore throat. And you can only have one piece of candy a day.”
An’an and Lele sulked, their little hands sneakily trying to hide some sweet candy.
Susu slapped the little ones’ chubby hands, “Mommy will keep these for you and give you some each day.”
“Mom, here’s mine too,” Xiao Yu handed over his share.
“Right, or I’m afraid you won’t be able to resist your brothers’ and sister’s wheedling and you’ll secretly give them candy.”
Xiao Yu felt a bit guilty, indeed unable to resist his cute brothers’ and sister’s charm.
Around ten o’clock, the two brothers who went out for New Year visits also returned.
Xiao Xue and Xiao Yu’s sisters came back and immediately looked for their younger siblings, eager to pull them onto the kang bed.
“Brother, brothers and sisters, have some candy.”
The sisters had specially brought it back, holding back their own craving all the way home.
“Elder sister’s candy.”
The six siblings gathered together to divide the chunks of candy, whispering to each other about who knows what.
