CHAPTER 32

All the elder children went to school, and the three little children could only play with the others who were three to five years old. However, they felt that they were not as smart as themselves, so they could only stay at home.

It was okay when the weather was hot, but now the weather was getting cooler. Lin Chuxia found that they had no winter clothes, so they went out.

As soon as the three little children heard that they could go out to play, their chubby little faces were filled with cheerful and relaxed smiles, and they all cheered, “Really, can we really  go out to play? Where are we going?”

” First, we will go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy you winter clothes. The weather is starting to turn into a new year, so you need to prepare autumn and winter clothes, as well as your father’s. Then we will stop by to buy some meat. Let’s see if there are any fish heads for sale. Fish head soup is very delicious this season.”

Lin Chuxia was talking to the three little cuties about today’s itinerary. After finishing speaking, she looked at them again; her beautiful face was full of tenderness. “What about you? There’s no place you want to go ??.

When the three little children heard that they could go out to buy clothes and meat, they were already very relaxed and happy, and their smiles became even brighter. As for where they wanted to go, they have only been downstairs in the military building since they arrived here. When they play with their friends, they don’t even know where to play outside.

“We will go where Mother goes.” Being able to go out is already a very happy thing, and they don’t pray so much.

“Mom, should we take a tractor when we go out?” They have been in the city for so long, but they haven’t seen a tractor here. He remembered that it took a long time for his father to drive them to the supply and marketing cooperative last time. If they had to walk there, would their short legs break?

“Instead of taking a tractor, we will take a bus.” At this point, Lin Chuxia had to sigh with emotion. A big city is indeed a big city. She thought that only two thousand buses existed in the 1980s.

The gap between urban and rural development in the 1960s and 1970s was also quite large. If she hadn’t mentioned this issue before when chatting with others, she really wouldn’t have known about it.

“Bus,” the three little children asked in a coquettish voice. It was obvious that they had never been on a bus and had no idea what this thing was.

“Yes, we will clean up tonight, and we will set off after breakfast tomorrow morning.” Lin Chuxia smiled and high-fived the three of them as a promise.

That night, the three happy little children couldn’t help but share this happy news with their father.

“Oh, we haven’t gone on vacation yet.” Xie Jingming hesitated for a moment, feeling a little guilty.

Lin Chuxia:…I don’t think I said I wanted to go with you.

“Don’t worry, Dad, we’ll go by ourselves.” The filial eldest son, Dazai, reached out and patted Xie Jingming on the shoulder, showing that as a little man, he could support the domineering power of a home.

“Yes, dad, don’t worry.” Erzai and Sanzai both grinned softly and cutely, and their milky and sensible voices made people happy to hear them.

It’s a pity that at this time, seeing that the four of them have agreed to go out without bringing him, they can’t imagine how depressed he is.

“Then, be careful when you go out.” As a man, he cannot be too stingy. Xie Jingming pretended that he didn’t care about this kind of thing at all, but warned the four of them tenderly.

“Don’t worry, I will take them to the supply and marketing cooperative in the town before, and I even brought a traction rope.” When she said the last word, she felt that she had said it wrong and couldn’t say it like this: “I brought the rope; hence, I will not let them get lost.”

Xie Jingming only thought about this description for a moment. He remembered that it was the same when he got on the train. He could probably imagine the scene in his mind—the three little cubs. The few kids tied up and walking down the street…

“Doesn’t anyone suspect that you are a trafficker who kidnapped children?” Xie Jingming asked silently after being silent for a few seconds.

“Of course they do, but after I explained it, haha, they all followed my example!” After saying this, Lin Chuxia proudly puffed up her chest, her pretty and cute face full of confidence.

“Yes.” Sanzai nodded repeatedly, shaking his head and wagging his tail very cutely, “I’m not afraid of getting lost at all.”

Otherwise, his mother would not take them out at all, so although Sanzai felt a little uncomfortable, he wasn’t particularly resistant. Compared to being tied up with a rope, he cannot accept that he cannot go out to play.

In addition, the three little children are precocious and know that this is a means to protect them. Dazai wants to express coolly that he is already a big child and does not need this at all.

However, Erzai and Sanzai are still children and need protection. As an older brother, he can only lead by example.

“…” Xie Jingming saw that they were chatting happily there and discussing how to have dinner at a state-owned restaurant at noon tomorrow. When they didn’t think about him at all, he felt a slight feeling of low pressure.

Lin Chuxia didn’t notice either. After all, seeing the three little cuties happy, she became even more excited. She hadn’t been out for a long time.

If he knew what Lin Chuxia was thinking, Xie Jingming would definitely sneer. What do you mean by not going out for a long time? She goes out almost every day. Otherwise, where did she buy the meat?
Not long ago, she went to the hospital to buy medicinal materials and so on. There was an uproar.

After eating and washing the dishes, the three little cuties were asked to take a bath and go to bed early. If they couldn’t get up tomorrow, they wouldn’t be taken out.

Just such a sentence scared the three little children and hurriedly took a shower and went to bed. Now that their friends of the older age have gone to school, it was very boring to leave them alone.

After the children obediently took a shower and went to bed, the two adults who were left behind, Xie Jingming, felt that he needed to have a good discussion with Lin Chuxia about her going out for fun and not including him.

Although he didn’t say it, it didn’t mean he wasn’t angry or sad.
Damn it, he needs to teach her a lesson.

When Lin Chuxia was packing her clothes and preparing to go into the bathroom to take a shower, Xie Jingming followed her in. He took off his clothes with such a carefree look, and his movements almost scared Lin Chuxia.

Lin Chuxia looked up at him in shock. “What are you doing in here?”

“Let’s take a shower together and save water.” Xie Jingming looked resolute and upright, and his tone was very upright when he said this, but the movements in his hands were not as he said.

For a long time, Lin Chuxia was so angry that she endured the pain and beat Xie Jingming hard. The warm bath water had turned cold, so he quickly boiled the bath water for her!

After taking a bath and returning to the room, she continued to work until midnight as punishment, and Xie Jingming was satisfied. Only Lin Chuxia, who was lying on the bed and was about to be exhausted, fell into sleep because of the grievance.

In the morning, the little children got up early and were still very excited to go out and play. However, it was a pity that when they got up, Lin Chuxia had not gotten up yet.

Xie Jingming knew what they were doing up so early, but he still cooked noodles for them, with eggs in them, one for each of them, and they ate deliciously.

After eating, Dazai pretended to be mature and sighed with his hands behind his back, “Hey, the sun is almost shining on my butt; why hasn’t mom woke up yet?”

When Xie Jingming listened to Dazai’s words, he also glanced over with raised eyebrows, and after half a second, imitating Lin Chuxia, he reached out and rubbed the Dazai’s hair. “Mom usually takes care of us. It’s very hard and tiring. We have to be considerate and caring about our mother, right? ”

Although the voice was lowered and slightly gentle, you can still hear the weirdness in the tone. Unfortunately, the three little cubs who are still young did not hear it.

They thought it was because their mother really worked so hard to take care of them. They remembered that their mother usually had to cook, wash clothes, and pick and wash vegetables…

He sighed with a face full of sadness, raised his head, and looked at his father, speaking earnestly. His pretense of sophistication was shown on the Dazai’s face, and he was very amused. The little boy yelled, “Dad, you can’t leave everything to mom!”

At home, most of the work has always been done by him. Xie Jingming glanced at the cutie and asked in a deep voice, “Who cooked the noodles for you this morning?”

“It’s Dad!”

“Who will wash the dishes later?” Xie Jingming asked again.

“It’s dad.”

“So, who is not helping mom at home?”

After saying this, the three cute little children looked at each other, as if they heard what their dad said.

Thinking of themselves, who would only wait for food when they went out to play on weekdays, the three cubs suddenly felt a little guilty and lowered their heads in embarrassment. “It’s us.”

” Therefore, when dad is not at home, the responsibility of taking care of mom will be left to you.” Xie Jingming, with a straight face, looked very serious, not at all like he was deliberately retaliating for what they just said.

Before going out, Lin Chuxia had just woken up, and after a few suggestions, Xie Jingming went out.

…..

In front of the bus, everyone’s eyes were looking at a certain place with strange and subtle eyes. Here, a family of four stood waiting. The white and fat little children were very cute.

The only thing that’s surprising is that they still have a small rope tied around their bodies, as if they were being kidnapped.

But the three little children were chattering there with happy smiles. Occasionally, they turned their heads and called the delicate and beautiful woman “Mom.” Oh, it turned out to be mother and son.

Many old ladies were standing here. One such old lady was also waiting to get on the bus. When she saw this scene, she couldn’t help but feel sad in her heart.

“Oh, comrade, this is not how children are raised.” Thinking that this young and beautiful girl didn’t know how to raise children, she reminded her, “This will make the child uncomfortable.”

Listening to the reminder from the old lady next to him, Lin Chuxia, who was still fiddling with the snakeskin bag in her hand, subconsciously turned her head and looked over. Seeing the kindness radiating from the old lady’s eyebrows, Lin Chuxia also raised a sweet smile.

“Thank you, old lady, for reminding me. I am going out with three children. I am afraid that the children will go far away, and it will be difficult to find them back.”

Lin Chuxia’s answer was cryptic, but the subtext was understood by the old lady. She nodded and said, “Indeed, indeed, safety is the most important thing.”

The three children looked very lively, chattering and looking around, knowing that they couldn’t stay idle. Soon, the bus came.

The three little children, who had never seen a bus before, said “Wow” and looked at the big four-wheeled vehicle. Lin Chuxia carried them one by one onto the small step ladder and then followed them up.

There were not many people on the bus going to the Supply and Marketing Cooperative. After all, you have to pay for the bus, so most people were reluctant to take it. They would rather walk there, as it was not too far away.

The three children sat in their seats, looking out the window with their hands. On the slow bus, everyone, whether familiar or unfamiliar, could chat with each other.

Lin Chuxia took care of the three children and told them what those things were, which made the three children clap their chubby palms with “wow,” and their bright and dark eyes were full of curiosity.

After getting off the bus, they were even happier than the last time they went out with their father. The last time they went out, they had taken a train all day before. They were already tired, but were so excited that they felt tired and sleepy after a while…

Now, they looked around with their round eyes open, as if it were their first time traveling far away. As usual, they went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things first, then bought some meat, and finally went to a state-owned restaurant for lunch.

Although the weather has started to get cooler, it is still quite hot at noon. After walking around for a long time, the three cute little short legs can no longer bear it, so they can only think of sitting down and taking a rest.

“Do our little cuties want to eat anything for lunch today?” Lin Chuxia asked the three cubs and, at the same time, read the menu to them and let them choose.

When the three cubs heard this, their eyes lit up, and they liked to make their own decisions, “I want to eat braised fish.”

“I want to eat grilled lamb chops.”

“I want to eat…”

The three cubs all have their own different hobbies. When the eldest son said he wanted to eat fish, Lin Chuxia touched the eldest son’s head and said, “Didn’t we buy some fish? How about we eat fish tonight?”

“When we come out, we need to eat something different. Let’s have grilled lamb chops. We can’t cook it at home, so we can only eat it in state-owned restaurants.”

The gentle Lin Chuxia was still worried that the braised fish had too many fish bones, so the fish she bought was different; she chose the one with no fish bones, plus when eating outside, children may not take it into consideration.

The eldest son tilted his head and thought for a moment, Yes, he wants to eat fish in the evening, and if he also eats fish for lunch. Wouldn’t it be a loss?

“Then I want grilled lamb chops.” They have to eat something that their family has never eaten before. Sanzai’s cute little voice also raised, “Mom, I want it too.”

He really wanted to try something he had never tasted before, and he puffed up his little chest proudly. He is the smartest little child.

Seeing the three cubs choosing the same thing at the same time, Lin Chuxia sighed again. If the three orders were different, they could still eat them interchangeably.

Clumsy little cutie.

“Do you all want grilled lamb chops? One person can order it, while the other person can get different dishes, and then we can eat it together like that; we can eat 3-4 dishes at the same time.” Lin Chuxia smiled and coaxed them, but hearing that the dishes Lin Chuxia had just signed up for were all the food they had at home seemed nothing special.

The three little children also smelled the grilled lamb chops served at the table next to them. The aroma was so delicious that it made people laugh. The three little children said in unison that they wanted that one.

One portion per person is not much, just a small plate. So they can’t share it with others and want a separate plate!

She rubbed their hair, thought about it, and ordered another dish that was not available at home. She was not like the one in her previous life. It is enough for a parent to be able to keep their children well fed.

Moreover, these days, as long as meat is added to the stir-fried dishes, there is no dish that is not fragrant. The three little children gave special honor to them, maybe because they were starving and they were full after every meal.
