Chapter 137 Father and Mother Lu Arrive at Wuyang County
Because the school term had already started a while ago, Bai Zhizhi began her teaching career the day after she accepted the teaching position. She devoted herself to her work, carefully preparing lessons every day and doing her best to impart knowledge.
However, as she became busier at work, she gradually felt overwhelmed, after all, she had to do the housework and take care of the triplets by herself.
One night, Bai Zhizhi returned home tired. Lu Chuan saw her tiredness and took the initiative to take on more housework so that Bai Zhizhi could have a good rest. Bai Zhizhi looked at Lu Chuan gratefully, her heart full of warmth.
With Lu Chuan's support, Bai Zhizhi worked harder, and her teaching results gradually became apparent. Her students' grades also improved significantly. Bai Zhizhi felt extremely gratified, knowing that her efforts were not in vain.
Lu Chuan also achieved good results at work and got a chance to be promoted. The couple supported each other and worked hard together for their family. Although their lives were busy, they were full of hope and happiness.
Ever since their mother became a teacher, the triplets no longer have the same interest in playing as before. Instead, they obediently do the homework assigned by Bai Zhizhi, because the three of them want to grow up quickly so that they can help their mother.
时间来到了 1974 年 04 月 03 日，早上 07：34 分。
Bai Zhizhi had a rare day off today, but she didn't sleep in as usual. The reason was that she received a message from her husband Lu Chuan last night: "The parents-in-law are coming over today!" So she got up early and began to prepare to welcome the arrival of the two elders.
The sunlight poured into the room through the window. Bai Zhizhi sat on the bed, stretched, and then gently patted her cheeks to wake herself up. She knew that today would be a special day.
After Bai Zhizhi quickly finished washing up, she began to clean the house with a sweeping robot. She tidied the house and arranged everything neatly, striving for perfection in every detail.
Then she went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast. She carefully selected the ingredients and cooked delicious dishes with her heart.
Because it was just after 6 o'clock in the morning today, Lu Chuan drove to Hai City Railway Station to pick someone up, while Bai Zhizhi was busy cleaning and tidying up the room at home. She also took out various fresh ingredients from the space to prepare a sumptuous welcoming banquet for her parents-in-law.
Seeing that it was almost time, Bai Zhizhi gently pushed open the triplets' door and woke up the three little ones.
When the children learned that their grandparents were about to arrive, they jumped up excitedly, quickly got dressed and washed, and then sat around the dining table to enjoy breakfast.
After dinner, Bai Zhizhi took the triplets to the living room waiting for Lu's father and mother to arrive.
The triplets stared at the door expectantly, hoping to be the first to see their grandparents.
When everything was ready, Bai Zhizhi stood in front of the window, looking at the scenery outside, and she couldn't help but feel a surge of anticipation in her heart. She imagined the scene after her parents-in-law arrived, the family sitting together, laughing and talking. Thinking of this, a smile appeared on her face unconsciously.
At this moment, the doorbell suddenly rang, interrupting her thoughts. Bai Zhizhi took a deep breath, tidied her clothes, then quickly walked to the door and opened it. Standing outside the door were her parents-in-law, both of them with smiles on their faces, holding some gifts in their hands, and Lu Chuan, who was standing opposite her, was standing outside the door with his luggage.
Bai Zhizhi hurried forward, took the gift, and warmly invited them into the house. The father-in-law and mother-in-law walked into the house, looked around, and expressed their appreciation for Bai Zhizhi's careful arrangement.
Afterwards, everyone sat together at the dining table to enjoy breakfast in a warm and harmonious atmosphere.
"Grandpa and grandma!" the triplets shouted excitedly and rushed forward to hug Mr. and Mother Lu.
"Oh, my dear grandchildren, you have grown up so big!" Mother Lu smiled and touched their heads.
"Mom, you must have worked hard on the journey. Come in and have a rest." Bai Zhizhi took the luggage from Lu Chuan and welcomed them into the house.
The family sat on the sofa and chatted happily. The triplets vied with each other in telling their own interesting stories, making Mr. and Mrs. Lu laugh.
"Zhizhi, you've worked so hard recently, taking care of the children and working at the same time. I heard from Xiaochuan that you're very tired at work. If you want to cook, just eat in the canteen of the staff quarters. If it weren't allowed now, I would really like to hire a nanny to cook and take care of the children for you. If it weren't for the two old men and women and your grandparents wanting to see the triplets, you finally got a rest today and I'm sorry to disturb your sleep. If you're too sleepy, just go to sleep. Xiaochuan and I will cook the meal." Mother Lu said, holding Bai Zhizhi's hand.
"Mom, this is what I should do, and Lu Chuan is doing most of the housework now. We are very happy that you can come. This little bit of tiredness is nothing. I had a good rest last night." Bai Zhizhi replied with a smile.
At this time, the doorbell rang. Bai Zhizhi opened the door and found that it was the furniture delivery worker who had arrived.
"This is the new furniture I bought specially for you. Try it and see if it fits." Lu Chuan said as he helped move the furniture into the house.
After the furniture was placed, the whole home looked warmer and more comfortable. Mr. and Mrs. Lu were very satisfied with the efforts of their son and daughter-in-law, and their faces were filled with happy smiles.
Bai Zhizhi and Lu Chuan took Lu's father and mother to visit the bedroom prepared for them. Lu's father and mother praised the layout and decoration of the house. The triplets also ran around excitedly. The family was chatting animatedly and laughing constantly.
At noon, Bai Zhizhi and Lu Chuan were busy in the kitchen, preparing a table of sumptuous dishes for everyone, while Lu's father and mother played games with the triplets in the living room, enjoying family happiness.
"Mom and Dad, you take a rest first. I'll go prepare lunch." Bai Zhizhi said as she walked into the kitchen.
Lu Chuan followed in, "Let me help you."
"No need, you can chat with my parents, I can do it alone." Bai Zhizhi refused.
Lu Chuan hugged Bai Zhizhi from behind and said, "Wife, thank you for everything you have done for this family."
Bai Zhizhi felt Lu Chuan's love and felt warm in her heart, "We are a family, let's not talk about this."
At noon, the whole family sat together, enjoying the delicious meal, and laughter echoed in the house.
After the meal was served, the whole family sat together, eating and chatting. Father and Mother Lu praised their daughter-in-law's cooking skills, and Bai Zhizhi felt very happy.
After lunch, Mr. and Mrs. Lu took a short rest and then planned to visit an old friend. Bai Zhizhi and Lu Chuan saw them off and told them to be careful on the road.
After seeing off Mr. and Mrs. Lu, Bai Zhizhi and Lu Chuan returned home. The triplets took the initiative to help clean up the dishes. Bai Zhizhi felt very happy when she saw the sensible children.
In the evening, Bai Zhizhi received a telegram from Lu's father and mother, saying that they had arrived safely at their friend's house and were going to stay overnight and would not be back until the next morning. Bai Zhizhi and Lu Chuan also breathed a sigh of relief and decided to take the children out for a walk in the evening to enjoy the rare leisure time.
The city was brightly lit at night. A family of five was strolling on the street. The children were running excitedly in front, stopping from time to time to observe new things on the roadside. Bai Zhizhi and Lu Chuan were following closely behind, hand in hand.
"Mom and Dad, look over there, there are so many beautiful lanterns!" said the eldest brother Yu Yu, pointing to a place not far away.
"Really? Let's go and take a look." Lu Chuan pulled Bai Zhizhi towards the lantern exhibition.
The colorful lanterns light up the night, and the dreamlike scene makes people intoxicated. The whole family appreciates the beautiful lanterns and feels the strong festive atmosphere.
"Wow, it's so beautiful!" exclaimed the third child.
"Yes, it's really beautiful." Bai Zhizhi said with a smile.
At this time, a huge dragon-shaped lantern attracted their attention. The dragon head was lifelike and the dragon body was shining with golden light, giving people a feeling of majesty and solemnity.
"This dragon is so majestic!" exclaimed the second child, Little Feather.
Lu Chuan gently stroked Bai Zhizhi's hand, his eyes full of affection: "I hope our children can soar like dragons in the future." His words revealed his expectations and blessings for the children.
Bai Zhizhi nodded slightly, a happy smile on her face. Her eyes met Lu Chuan's, and tears of happiness flashed in her eyes.
On this quiet and beautiful night, they confided their deepest feelings to each other and looked forward to their future life together.
After returning home, Bai Zhizhi and Lu Chuan prepared a warm hot bath for the triplets. They carefully undressed the children, gently put them into the water, and gently wiped their skin. The children played in the water, and their laughter echoed throughout the room.
After taking a shower, Bai Zhizhi and Lu Chuan also took a comfortable hot bath. They wore loose pajamas, sat on the sofa, and enjoyed a moment of tranquility.
Lu Chuan gently hugged Bai Zhizhi and kissed her forehead. There was a strong love between the two.
Then, they walked into the bedroom and lay on the soft big bed. Lu Chuan held Bai Zhizhi's hand tightly and said softly, "Dear, let's enjoy this wonderful moment together."
Their bodies gradually approached and their lips gently touched, as if time froze at this moment. On this warm night, their love grew deeper. May their family always be filled with warmth and love.
During the day, Bai Zhizhi spent a pleasant holiday chatting, watching TV and taking walks with her parents-in-law. She felt extremely satisfied because this was the family life she had always longed for.
Around nine o'clock in the morning on April 1974, 04, Bai Zhizhi struggled to get up from the bed. Her whole body ached as if it was falling apart. She thought to herself, "This won't do!" So she quickly entered the system space and took a comfortable hot spring bath. Only then did she feel her energy slowly recovering.
However, when she walked downstairs, she heard crackling sounds coming from the kitchen. She was delighted. Could it be Lu Chuan making breakfast? But when she went downstairs, she saw her mother-in-law busying herself alone. She looked around and could not see Lu Chuan.
Only then did she realize that Lu Chuan had already gone to work, and her own classes were scheduled in the afternoon, so she still had plenty of time. So she greeted her parents-in-law obediently, then took her bowl and chopsticks and started to eat breakfast.
Bai Zhizhi ate breakfast with relish while chatting with her mother-in-law. Her mother-in-law asked her with concern whether she was adapted to the job of a teacher. Bai Zhizhi enthusiastically shared some interesting experiences in teaching. The two had a great time talking, and the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law became more and more harmonious.
After dinner, Bai Zhizhi felt that she had some free time in the morning, so she decided to go to the market to buy some vegetables, cook herself, and prepare a hearty lunch for her family. She carefully selected fresh ingredients and returned home happily.
After returning home, Bai Zhizhi began to prepare lunch. She cut and cooked vegetables skillfully. Soon, the table was filled with delicious dishes.
At noon, Lu Chuan drove home from get off work humming a little tune. As soon as he opened the gate, he smelled the fragrance in the house. He couldn't help but praise Bai Zhizhi's cooking skills. The family sat together, talking and laughing, enjoying the warm dinner time, and they were very happy.
After lunch, Bai Zhizhi had to rest for a while because she had to go to school later.
Father and Mother Lu took the triplets out together. This time they planned to go shopping in the city and buy some new clothes and toys for the children.
Because the city is a little far from Wuyang County, Lu Chuan drove a military jeep to take his parents and children to Haishi.
Along the way, the triplets were extremely excited, especially the third child, Tuanzi, who was a curious baby. He kept pointing at the scenery outside the window and kept asking what this was and what that was.
Mother Lu patiently answered his questions and reminded Father Lu to pay attention to the safety of the triplets.
Finally arriving at the city center, Mr. and Mrs. Lu first took the children to the children's clothing store on the third floor of the department store. The dazzling array of clothes here dazzled the triplets.
The eldest and the second child quickly chose the clothes they liked, but the third child was not satisfied no matter how many times he picked.
In the end, it was Lu's mother who helped him choose a coat with a cute bear pattern, which made him nod with satisfaction.
Then, they went to the toy store on the second floor of the department store. The toys here made the children love them. The eldest and second child both liked a jigsaw puzzle game, while the third child had a special liking for a small robot that could sing. So, Mr. and Mrs. Lu bought a gift for each of them to fulfill their wishes.
After shopping, Mr. and Mrs. Lu took the triplets to a state-owned restaurant for dinner (there were stir-fried clams, seafood soup, steamed crabs, abalone vermicelli, braised pork, braised fish, boiled fish and tofu). At the table, everyone shared their happy experiences of the day while eating, and there was constant laughter.
Seeing the happy faces of their children, Mr. and Mrs. Lu were filled with happiness. They knew that such times would become beautiful memories in their lives when they are old.
After dinner, it was already dark. After paying the bill, Mr. Lu and Mrs. Lu took the children for a stroll on the way home, admiring the night view of the city.
The triplets excitedly discussed today's gains, while Bai Zhizhi and Lu's mother listened quietly, smiling with satisfaction from time to time.
As they walked, the little girl suddenly pointed to the sky and shouted, "Look, there are stars!" Everyone looked up and saw a few twinkling stars. Mother Lu said gently to Father Lu, "Today is a really happy day."
Father Lu nodded in agreement: "Yes, daughter-in-law, thank you for giving birth to such a good son, and your son gave birth to such wonderful grandchildren." As they spoke, they had already reached the door of the house.
Bai Zhizhi and Lu Chuan, who had returned home from get off work a long time ago, had already prepared dinner. Hearing the sound of the courtyard door, they gently opened the door. It was warm outside the house. She looked at this warm scene (the scene of her parents-in-law taking care of their grandchildren), and her heart was filled with emotion. Although life may sometimes be tiring and difficult, with the company of family, everything becomes beautiful and happy.
Since Father and Mother Lu had already eaten, they had already digested the food they had eaten along the way, so they had dinner with Bai Zhizhi and Lu Chuan again.
