Chapter 128 Going to the Market to Purchase
After Bai Zhizhi and Lu Chuan came out of the courtyard, they went straight to Brother Lu's house. Because Brother Lu's house was closer to the courtyard, they decided to pick up their twin nephews first.
When they arrived, they found the twin nephews standing at the door, waiting for them. When the two little guys saw that their uncle and aunt came to pick them up so late, angry expressions immediately appeared on their identical little faces.
"Why did you come just now?" one of the nephews asked dissatisfiedly.
Another nephew also chimed in, "Yeah, we've been waiting for a long time!"
Lu Chuan quickly explained: "I'm sorry, we were delayed by something. But now we're here, hurry up and get in the car."
After saying that, he pushed the bicycle in front of his twin nephews and let them sit on it. He then greeted his second brother and his wife first. Unexpectedly, his second sister-in-law smiled and said, "Xiaochuan, please send them away quickly. We've been up since eight in the morning and were eating while asking why you two hadn't come to pick them up yet. Now that you finally come to pick them up, I feel a little relieved. I'm going to go to rest."
Lu Chuan had no choice but to take the clean clothes that his sister-in-law had given to the children, and then said goodbye to his second sister-in-law. They continued riding their bicycles to Brother Lu's house to pick up their eldest nephew.
Along the way, the twin nephews kept complaining that they came too late, but Lu Chuan and Bai Zhizhi just smiled and comforted them, saying that they would come to pick them up earlier next time.
The eldest nephew sat at the table, but his eyes kept drifting out the window unconsciously. He was writing his homework carelessly, and from time to time he raised his head and looked out through the window. He thought silently in his heart: "Why hasn't my uncle come yet?"
As time went by, the nephew became more and more anxious. He began to look at his watch frequently, secretly praying that his uncle would come soon. At this moment, he suddenly saw a familiar figure - his uncle! The nephew's eyes suddenly lit up, and a happy smile appeared on his face.
He couldn't wait to put down the pen in his hand, stood up, and quickly tidied up the desk. Then, he walked briskly in the direction of his uncle, his steps were light and cheerful, as if every step was filled with anticipation and desire to go home.
When the eldest nephew reached the door, he stopped, turned around and politely said goodbye to his grandparents, saying that his younger uncle and others were here to pick him up. Before waiting for the two elderly people to respond, he picked up the package and walked towards the door.
Then, he took another step and walked straight to his uncle and aunt, his eyes shining with excitement. When he saw his twin brothers in front of his uncle and aunt, the corners of his mouth lifted slightly, revealing his inner joy.
Bai Zhizhi and Lu Chuan didn't expect that Brother Lu's child would be so clingy. They looked at each other and smiled helplessly. They held the little guy and asked softly, "Xiaoyi, is your package ready? Are your parents home?"
Lu Yiran hugged Bai Zhizhi's neck tightly and answered in a baby voice, "Aunt, uncle, I have packed my bag a long time ago and it's hanging on my body! Mom and Dad have gone to work, and only grandpa and grandma are at home to take care of me. When they went to the kitchen to cook, they left me alone in the living room to do my homework. I have just said goodbye to grandpa and grandma, and now I am waiting for you to pick me up and take me home! Let's go back to grandpa and grandma's house quickly, my little brothers and sisters are still waiting for me and my big brother to play together!"
Lu Chuan and Bai Zhizhi were amused by his cute appearance and couldn't help but smile at each other, but they also knew that they couldn't just take their nephew away so easily. After all, they still had to go into the house to say hello to his sister-in-law's parents. So, they gently put Lu Yiran down and pulled him into the house.
Lu Chuan and Bai Zhizhi took Lu Yiran into the house, greeted Brother Lu's parents and expressed their gratitude.
While they were greeting each other, Lu Yiran had already impatiently run to the door and kept fiddling with the door lock.
Seeing this, Bai Zhizhi and Lu Chuan hurriedly said goodbye to their eldest brother and sister-in-law's parents and set out on their journey home with their three children.
Along the way, the children excitedly told interesting stories about their stay at their grandmother's house, with laughter ringing out one after another.
As night fell, the street lights emitted a dim light, illuminating their way home.
Beijing Military Region Family Courtyard
When the two adults and three children returned to the family compound, before Lu Chuan parked the car, the three nephews were already impatient to get out of the car at the door.
Lu Chuan had no choice but to stop the car, let them get off, and walk home.
It was night, and other family members in the compound were cooking dinner, and some people were sitting at their doorsteps.
Since Lu Chuan knew everyone, he greeted them and then walked home while holding his wife's hand and pushing his bicycle.
Walking into the house, the aroma of food hits your nose. Mother Lu has already prepared a sumptuous dinner, and when she sees the children coming back, her face is filled with a loving smile.
"Come and wash your hands and get ready for dinner!" Mother Lu greeted everyone warmly.
The children cheered and ran to the bathroom. After washing their hands, they sat down at the dining table. Bai Zhizhi helped to set the table. The whole family sat together happily.
"Wow, it smells so good!" Nephew Lu Yiran looked at the delicacies on the table with shining eyes.
"Today we have your favorite braised pork and sweet and sour spare ribs, as well as vegetable salad." Mother Lu said with a smile.
Everyone picked up their chopsticks and enjoyed this warm family time. The children scrambled to pick up the food, stuffing their mouths full, and did not forget to praise Mother Lu's cooking skills.
After dinner, the children played in the living room while the adults sat aside chatting. Bai Zhizhi and Lu Chuan shared their experiences during the day, while Lu's mother was concerned about the children's study and life.
As the night deepened, the children were tired from playing. Lu Chuan and Bai Zhizhi gave the six children a bath before letting them go to bed. Tired after a day's work, Lu Chuan and Bai Zhizhi returned to their room, lay in the warm bed, and reminisced about this wonderful day.
At seven o'clock in the morning on December 1973, 12, Bai Zhizhi and Lu Chuan took a spiritual spring bath in the system space together to make their bodies clean and tidy. After all, they were extremely tired in the past two days.
In the space, because the faucet in the bathtub is an intelligent faucet, you can choose "Spiritual Spring Water"/"Natural Water" and the corresponding temperature on the display screen next to the bathtub. Bai Zhizhi asked Lu Chuan to run the water first, while she lay in the bedroom in the space as usual. When the water reaches a certain temperature, she can take off her clothes and take a bath.
After Lu Chuan ran the water, his wife was already sleeping soundly. He could only hold her gently and help her take off her clothes, bra and underwear, so that she could sleep while taking a full bath. After he helped his wife take off her clothes, he also quickly took off his clothes and took a bath with his wife. Fortunately, the bathtub in the bathroom was for two people, otherwise two people would not be able to sit in it.
After taking a bath, the two continued to wear pajamas and lie on the bed to continue their beauty sleep. The time they stayed in the space was almost a day, which is equivalent to an hour in reality.
After taking a bath in the spiritual spring, Bai Zhizhi slept more soundly. After all, the soreness in her body was gone. After a nap, Bai Zhizhi washed up in the bathroom. After washing up, she was ready to go out of the space to see if her mother-in-law's breakfast was ready. If not, she would go into the kitchen to make breakfast.
The day after tomorrow is the day when the triplets will be three years old, and it has been a year. Grandpa Lu means that the whole family should have a meal together to celebrate the triplets' birthday. After all, last year, in Province C, the triplets' elders only gave a red envelope to the triplets to celebrate their two years old.
After washing up, Bai Zhizhi was about to change into a blue floral dress. When she walked out of the bathroom, she saw that her man was still sleeping, so she had to leave the space first. After making breakfast, she would enter the space and call him to wake up.
When Bai Zhizhi walked out of the room, she saw that Mother Lu had already prepared breakfast. She couldn't help but sigh in her heart: "Mother Lu is so hardworking!" Then she saw Grandpa Lu and Grandma Lu were already eating breakfast at the dining table, but Mother Lu and Father Lu were not there.
She thought, maybe they have already gone to work? After all, today is Thursday, and she still needs to work. Thinking of this, she also felt that she should get to work as soon as possible.
So, after saying hello to Grandpa Lu and Grandma Lu, Bai Zhizhi went to the kitchen to get the dishes and chopsticks to start eating breakfast. While eating the delicious food, she was thinking about her next plan.
After she finished her meal, she decided to go into the house to wake up Lu Chuan, and then go to the vegetable market to see if there were any fresh ingredients to buy.
Then she walked to the door of Lu Chuan's room, closed it, entered the space, and knocked on the door gently. No one responded. She pushed the door open and saw Lu Chuan still lying on the bed sleeping.
She walked over, gently shook his shoulder and said, "Lu Chuan, get up! We have to go buy some groceries! If we get there any later there won't be any fresh vegetables for sale."
Lu Chuan turned over and said drowsily: "Sleep a little longer..."
Bai Zhizhi smiled helplessly and said, "No, we still have to go buy groceries, hurry up!"
Lu Chuan had no choice but to sit up, rubbed his eyes, and said, "Okay, then I'll get up."
Bai Zhizhi looked at his reluctant expression and couldn't help laughing. She said, "Hurry up and brush your teeth. I've already had breakfast. Hurry up. We have to hurry up, otherwise the vegetable market will be closed."
Lu Chuan then slowly put on his clothes, brushed his teeth, and followed Bai Zhizhi out of the system space. Then he prepared to take two buns and three steamed buns from the dining table and left the house together, heading towards the vegetable market.
Along the way, they talked and laughed, enjoying this rare time.
When she and Lu Chuan walked into the vegetable market carrying cloth bags, they found that it was very lively with people coming and going. There were all kinds of vegetables, fruits and meats, which were dazzling. They walked around and picked some fresh vegetables and fruits.
Then I bought some meat and a fish. When I was ready to go home, I took out some more things from the space warehouse when there was no one on the road. I planned to make a hearty lunch at noon today. After all, there are six children at home, and Big Brother Lu and Second Brother Lu will also come over for dinner.
After the two returned to the family compound, Bai Zhizhi asked Lu Chuan to put the big bag of vegetables he bought in the kitchen, and she went to the children's sleeping room to check on the six children to see if they kicked off the quilt or woke up. She was tired from walking around last night and did not get up to see them halfway.
When she entered the children's room, the triplets slept in the middle, while the older nephew and the twin nephews slept on both sides. Seeing this scene, Bai Zhizhi guessed that the nephews were afraid that their younger brothers and sisters would fall.
He took out a camera with his mind, took three pictures from different angles and put them into space, then called softly: "My babies, wake up soon. Your uncle/daddy has prepared a lot of delicious food. If you don't wake up, you won't have anything to eat."
The eldest nephew Lu Yiran opened his eyes immediately and shouted politely: "Aunt, I want to eat."
Bai Zhizhi: "Okay, then I'll give you a task. Wake up your brothers and sisters. When they need to get dressed and brush their teeth, you can come out and call us. I have to help your uncle make something delicious and give it to you after it's done, okay?"
Lu Yiran: "Okay, Auntie, I will definitely complete the task."
Bai Zhizhi touched the child opposite her, then kissed each of the six children on the cheek and went out.
After Bai Zhizhi left the room, she went downstairs to the kitchen and started preparing lunch with Lu Chuan. After all, it was already past 10 o'clock when they returned, and there was only more than an hour left before Lu's father and others got off work.
The two of them divided the work, Lu Chuan was the main force and Bai Zhizhi was the assistant. The two discussed together that today's lunch was "Stir-fried pork with peppers, cumin lamb, taro ribs, cumin pork, a big pot of braised pork belly with potato and coarse grain rice, radish and ribs corn soup, fried tofu with meat, fried bean curd with meat, stir-fried pork kidney, cold cucumber, fried pig ears with peppers, stir-fried vegetables, and two kinds of eggs, fried duck and goose eggs, which I had planned to make steamed buns, but I was afraid that there would not be enough time, so I prepared some egg pancakes, after all, there would be enough flour and eggs, and fried crayfish, and I would let Lu Chuan make some snacks that the children like to eat - French fries, fried sweet potato meatballs, fried peanuts. After all, the ketchup I took from the space before has not been finished, so when the time comes, they will be covered with the sauce, which will be delicious."
Then fry a chicken drumstick wrapped in flour for each of the six children. This way, I use delicious food to entice the children to be obedient.
Because there was only one pot, only one person could do the stir-frying and frying. Bai Zhizhi prepared all the ingredients for the two of them, for fear that Grandma Lu would suddenly attack.
Bai Zhizhi first went to wash the simple vegetables with Lu Chuan and put them in basins, and then did the more complicated ones.
Of course, Bai Zhizhi and Lu Chuan did not forget breakfast for the six children in the family, because Lu's mother had already steamed 10 meat buns for the children, and six portions of steamed egg custard were warming in the steamer.
With the cooperation of the two, the meals were finally ready at 12:. The snacks for the six children were also put in large bowls, and the children ate with Grandpa Lu and Grandma Lu. Because there was ketchup, the two old people and the six children all ate with relish. Of course, Bai Zhizhi gave the six children the food after they had finished breakfast, and let them sit quietly in the living room.
