Chapter 86 -86: The slick-talking jerk.
“Aunt, we’re back~”
With the milky voice of the little guy, one big and one small entered the house one after another.
Susu, looking at the dusty father and son duo, blinked her eyes, “How come you guys are back?”
“This weather is so cold, why didn’t you stay in the county?”
The big and the small were huddled around the coal stove to warm up, and Xiao Yu said shyly, “We missed Aunt and our little siblings.”
Hearing this, Susu raised her eyebrows and looked at the man with a little expression, waiting to hear something flattering.

Lu Xiaoting’s dark eyes stared straight at his lovely and soft wife on the Kang bed, his voice slightly hoarse, “Wife, I missed you.”
Susu’s widened eyes stared in surprise, and her mouth slightly opened as her brain froze for a few seconds.
Realizing that the usually reticent man actually admitted to missing her, Susu’s face blushed slightly as she cast a reproachful glance at him.
“What nonsense are you spouting in front of the children?”
Xiao Yu looked back and forth from Uncle to Aunt, stifling a little giggle.
After warming away the chill, the duo finally took off their shoes and prepared to get on the Kang.
Lu Xiaoting picked up Xiao Yu in one motion, “Go on, take care of your little siblings.”
“Okay.”
Susu felt uncomfortable under the man’s deep, vortex-like gaze, and she turned her body slightly, avoiding his eyes.
Lu Xiaoting’s peripheral vision caught the children at the end of the Kang, seeing Xiao Yu intently watching over his siblings, he sat down right next to his wife.
With one arm around his wife’s waist, “Wife.”
Susu trembled slightly at the magnetic allure in the man’s voice, and not too pleased, she swatted his big hand away.
“Go over there, don’t sit so close to me, you might die from the smell.”
Susu pouted, her body sweating, plus it had been over half a month without washing her hair or taking a bath, even she couldn’t stand her own smell.
“It’s not smelly, my wife does not smell at all, she’s always fragrant.”
Susu rolled her eyes at the flowery talk of the man and scoffed, “Typical man, always able to argue black is white.”
“Cheesy charmer.”
Unexpectedly scolded by his wife, Lu Xiaoting’s brow furrowed slightly, glancing at the little ones on the Kang.
Seeing his wife’s sulky face, he seized the opportunity to steal a kiss.
This scene was caught directly by Su Sanya who had just come in.
The three pairs of eyes met in silence, Su Sanya stood frozen, unable to believe she had caught her brother-in-law stealing a kiss from her sister, and she was momentarily stunned.
“I didn’t see anything.”
That said, Su Sanya quickly ran out, even closing the door tightly behind her.
Susu’s face turned crimson in an instant, annoyed as she punched the culprit — Lu Xiaoting.
“It’s all your fault, letting Sanya catch us, I’m so embarrassed.”
The culprit, Lu Xiaoting, ruefully touched his nose, letting his wife vent her frustrations on him.
Softly coaxing, “Wife, punch me to vent your anger, just don’t be mad, it’s all my fault.”
Xiao Yu blinked his big eyes, thinking brightly, this must be what Song Ziping meant by ‘To be close is to tease, to love is to scold, indifference means no love.’
After the angered wife had let off some steam, Lu Xiaoting finally brought up the matter of the Provincial City Family Court.
“Wife, everyone in the Family Court heard you had triplets, and they sent over brown sugar or eggs, I’ve remembered what each household gave.
I saw we had enough brown sugar at home, so I didn’t bring it back. As for the eggs, Xiao Yu and I usually eat them outside, so I simply took them to the store.”
Susu nodded, “Okay, I got it.”
Looking at the little boy by his siblings’ side, Susu beckoned, “Xiao Yu, come here.”
“Here I come, Aunt.”
Hearing his aunt’s call, Xiao Yu tumbled over to her other side.
“How’s school going? Can you keep up? Are any of the students bullying you?”
“I can keep up, and no one is bullying me. They know my uncle is in the police force, so they wouldn’t dare. Plus, Song Ziping is there too.”
“Song Ziping?” Susu looked at the man, puzzled.
Lu Xiaoting explained, “That’s the third child of Brother Song and Sister Wang.”
Suddenly, it clicked for Susu. So, Ping’s full name was Song Ziping.
Susu patted the little guy’s hand, only then noticing that Xiao Yu’s hands were full of chapped little cuts.
In the northern winter, the wind is harsh and dry. If you don’t moisturize your face and hands, they can easily become chapped.
She glared at the man, annoyed. “Xiao Yu has so many cuts on his hands, and you didn’t even think to apply clam oil?”
Lu Xiaoting felt a bit guilty, “I’ll pay attention to it next time.”
Seeing his uncle being scolded, Xiao Yu quickly interjected, “Aunt, it’s okay, some of my classmates have it too. I’m used to it.”
Susu frowned, knowing the little guy was just trying to save money. Without further ado, she ordered both father and son to apply clam oil after washing their faces in the morning and evening.
“Oh, my dear treasures of Grandpa~”
Before Father Lu could finish, he noticed his second son on the kang bed and his tone immediately shifted.
“The second son is back.”
Lu Xiaoting nodded in acknowledgment.
Noticing his father’s changing expressions, he helplessly shook his head; it indeed seemed like affection skipped generations.
Having grown so big, it was the first time he saw his Father behave this way, which he was unaccustomed to.
Susu, smiling warmly, watched their father-in-law and said, “Dad, the first thing you do every day when you get home is come and lovingly kiss the triplets.
Every night, it’s mom who has to chase you back to your room so you’ll go to sleep.”
His Dad, did you wash your hands before touching your grandson?”
Mrs. Lu, holding a big basin of seaweed pork rib soup, glared at Father Lu.
Without turning back, Father Lu lowered his voice, “I did wash my hands. It’s the first thing I did when I got home.”
Susu was skeptical and thought that if it wasn’t for her mother-in-law holding the soup, she might have given her father-in-law an Iron Sand Palm.
“Susu, Mom made a new dish for you to try today, how about this seaweed pork rib winter melon soup?”
“Thank you, Mom.”
As Susu was about to reach for it, the man beside her grabbed it first and placed it on the kang table.
Looking at a big sea bowl full of pork rib soup, Susu’s eyebrows puckered into a wave.
“Dear, you eat first. If you can’t finish, I will.”
Noticing his wife’s dilemma, Lu Xiaoting immediately said.
Mrs. Lu agreed, “Right, if you can’t eat it all, give it to the second one.”
To avoid waking the triplets, several adults were dining in the eastern room.
There, after Susu finished the soup, the second child began to sob softly.
The neighboring adults, busy with their meal, hastily put down their food and each picked up a child to soothe.
“Let your Little Aunt make the formula, and you guys go ahead and eat. We’ve got this covered here.”
Each of the little ones, once they got their meal, immediately stopped crying and guzzled the milk greedily.
The three little ones, fed and content, were not yet sleepy and stared around with their big dark shiny eyes.
Lu Xiaoting was teasing his sons and daughter playfully.
The three siblings, ever so accommodating, opened their little mouths and responded with clear, joyous laughter.
“Haha…”
Xiao Yu, delighted, gently touched his younger brother and sister’s soft little cheeks.
