Chapter 129 The triplets turn 3, and send a package to Mr. and Mrs. Bai
Bai Zhizhi and Lu Chuan took nearly two hours to cook more than a dozen ingredients. They were both sticky, and even though it was a very cold day, they were both sweating.
Bai Zhizhi helped the six children dress and prepared toothpaste, toothbrushes and towels for them before going to the kitchen to help. However, her body was still very hot, so after the two of them finished preparing all the meals, they told Grandpa Lu and Grandma Lu to go into the house to take a shower.
After all, these days, to take a bath, you either go to a bathhouse or boil water and take a bath in your own room with the door closed.
Bai Zhizhi and Lu Chuan took a quick shower, changed their clothes, and went to the living room. At this time, Lu's mother and others had returned and were setting the table.
"Mom and Dad, eldest brother, second brother, second sister-in-law, and eldest sister-in-law, you are back." Lu Chuan said.
"Well, is the meal ready?" asked Father Lu.
"It's ready. We're just waiting for you to come back for dinner." Bai Zhizhi replied with a smile.
"Wow, it looks so rich!" said Mother Lu with a smile.
The family sat around the dinner table. The children chattered excitedly to Mr. and Mrs. Lu about what had happened today. The adults listened while eating. The atmosphere was warm and harmonious.
After the children finished speaking, Bai Zhizhi took the lead in expressing encouragement for their stories. She clapped her hands and praised her eldest nephew Lu Yiran. When the triplets and twins saw Bai Zhizhi clapping, they also waved their little hands and clapped.
The others were also happy for Lu Yiran taking care of his younger brothers and sisters, and they gave each other loving touches. Then Lu Yiran shyly hid in Lu Dasao's arms. Everyone laughed heartily when they saw this scene, and then began to enjoy this sumptuous lunch, which was filled with laughter.
After dinner, Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Lu wanted to clean up the dishes, but Bai Zhizhi and Lu Chuan refused. After all, they both had to go to work, so she and Lu Chuan could only clean up the table together. They asked them to go back to the house and rest, while Mother Lu took the children to play in the yard.
The rest of the adults sat in the yard and had a brief chat, after all, they had to go to work in the afternoon. The six children played obediently on the side.
After cleaning up the dishes, Lu Chuan and Bai Zhizhi took the triplets back to the house for a nap. However, the eldest nephew and his friends were reluctant to part with the triplets, so Bai Zhizhi asked them to go to the house together for a nap, leaving Lu Chuan alone on the floor.
After Lu Chuan and his family had a nap in the afternoon, the house was deserted. Lu Chuan went to check on Grandpa Lu and his family's room, and saw that the door was still closed. They were probably still sleeping.
Brother Lu and his friends have already gone to work, and Lu Chuan has also packed up and is ready to go out. He is going to meet a friend he hasn't seen for a long time today. The last time they met was last year! He is a little excited, wondering how this friend is doing now? After the two meet, they will definitely talk about the past again. Thinking of this, Lu Chuan's mood becomes particularly happy.
However, before he left, he had some other plans. He planned to go to the department store to see if there were any gifts or snacks suitable for taking home. Then, he also wanted to go to Jingshi Roast Duck Restaurant to buy some roast duck, which was one of his wife's favorite delicacies.
Thinking about this, Lu Chuan couldn't help but laugh. He felt that life was like this, full of small joys and surprises.
Although we may encounter difficulties sometimes, as long as we maintain an optimistic and positive attitude, we will always find ways to solve the problems.
Moreover, there are so many wonderful things waiting for him to discover and enjoy, such as delicious food, a warm family, and true friendship... Thinking of this, Lu Chuan feels that he is really lucky.
Holding a bag of fresh fruits in my hand, I rode my bike happily towards my friend's house.
The sun shines on the street, casting a golden glow. The breeze blows across my cheeks, bringing fresh air and a faint scent of flowers. With every step I take, I can feel the solidity of the earth beneath my feet.
The apple bag in my hand is heavy, filled with all kinds of colorful and fragrant apples. These are carefully selected by me, hoping to bring a surprise and warmth to my friend. Imagining her smile when she sees these fruits, my heart is full of anticipation.
Along the way, I passed familiar streets and shops. Some shop owners were busy sorting goods with warm smiles on their faces; some passers-by walked by hurriedly, as if they were rushing to deal with important matters; others strolled leisurely, enjoying this wonderful time. All of this constituted a picture of life that made me feel extremely cordial.
Finally, I arrived at my friend's house. Standing at the door, I gently knocked on the doorbell, waiting for his response. The door opened, and my friend's smiling face appeared in front of me, with joy flashing in his eyes.
We hugged each other tightly, feeling each other's warmth and friendship. At that moment, all the fatigue and pressure disappeared, leaving only endless joy and satisfaction.
The two chatted for a long time, sharing with each other all the stories they could tell, of course, they were all good stuff.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Lu Chuan said goodbye to his friend and headed towards the Jing City Roast Duck Restaurant. He did not buy any when he went to his friend's house just now, after all, things are not so open these days.
After buying the roast duck, Lu Chuan rode his bike home and saw his wife teaching six children.
He parked the car, picked up the roast duck he had just bought, said hello to his wife, and went to the kitchen.
The dishes Lu Chuan prepared for dinner were relatively simple and home-cooked, but they were very delicious. He cut the vegetables into small pieces, added the right amount of seasoning and stir-fried them, giving them an alluring aroma. Finally, he also fried a plate of eggs, the golden eggs looked very tempting.
After preparing dinner, Lu Chuan began to wait for his family to return. He sat at the dining table, his heart full of anticipation.
Finally, the family members returned home one after another. When they saw the sumptuous dinner on the table, satisfied smiles appeared on their faces. The whole family sat together, enjoying this warm moment.
After dinner, Mrs. Lu and Brother Lu took the initiative to take on the task of washing the dishes. They divided the work tacitly, one was responsible for washing and the other was responsible for drying, and they soon washed the dishes clean. Mrs. Lu and Brother Lu picked up the broom and swept the floor of the house spotlessly.
After cleaning up the kitchen and living room, everyone sat down in the yard. Although the weather was cold, the sky was particularly blue today and the sunshine made people feel warm and comfortable.
Everyone sat together, talking and laughing about their day.
As the night deepens, stars twinkle in the sky. Because the family compound is exceptionally quiet at night, one can see the starry sky from inside the compound, which makes one feel extremely comfortable.
Bai Zhizhi and Lu Chuan smiled at each other, feeling the tranquility and happiness.
Because it was a little late, the families of Big Brother Lu and Second Brother Lu rested in the staff quarters, while Grandpa and Grandma Lu went back to their rooms early to rest, unable to bear the hard work of staying up late.
Others also gradually took the sleeping babies back to the room to sleep. After all, the six children were very active that day, especially the second triplet, Xiao Yumao. As a girl, her brothers and sisters loved her very much, so the most active ones were her and the youngest twin nephew Lu Yifei. On the contrary, the quietest one was the eldest triplet, Yuyu.

Bai Zhizhi and Lu Chuan got up early and went to the kitchen to prepare instant breakfast for the space warehouse. After heating them up, they put them in the steamer to keep them warm. A packet of malted milk and a large pot of rice porridge were placed on the table, waiting for the rest of the family to get up so that they could have breakfast.
After finishing everything, they took the vegetable bags and rode their bicycles out together.
The two of them entered the space in a corner 3km away from the family compound and prepared food for today and tomorrow. Bai Zhizhi took a bag of toast bread and four eggs, two steamed rice rolls and five beef vermicelli buns from the space warehouse. Lu Chuan prepared mango milk tea for his wife and pure milk for himself in the kitchen. He watched a movie and played with his mobile phone in the system space, waiting to prepare the food after a good rest.
After a while, Bai Zhizhi and Lu Chuan had eaten, drunk and rested well, so they walked towards the space warehouse. Excluding some ingredients they took yesterday, the ingredients they planned to cook today and tomorrow include taro, pumpkin, beans, pork, pork lungs, chicken, rabbit meat, eggs, duck eggs, goose eggs, roast duck, peppers, various seasonings, green vegetables, dried tofu, loofah, rice, flour, chicken legs, braised meat, oranges, apples, strawberries, chicken feet, duck feet and eggplants.
Since the two of them could only stay in Beijing for four days before having to return to Wuyang County, Lu Chuan and Bai Zhizhi prepared lunch and dinner for the next few days. Their cooking skills were recognized by everyone, and every meal was fragrant, delicious and tasty.
Most of the preparations for lunch and dinner were similar to yesterday, with lunch consisting mostly of meat and dinner consisting of half meat and half vegetarian. However, no one else in the Lu family had any questions. After all, their cooking skills were not as good as those of Lu Chuan and Bai Zhizhi, and each dish was also quite good. Eating meat every day was a luxury these days. Moreover, the family next door to the Lu family had already closed their windows and doors tightly and could not report the Lu family. After all, in this staff compound, Grandpa Lu still had some authority.
1974年1月1日早上7：30
Bai Zhizhi and Lu Chuan got up, gave each of the children a kiss, then changed their clothes, washed up, and made breakfast. Because today is the triplets' 3rd birthday, they had to get up early to make breakfast for them. Today is Friday, and the working members of the Lu family also took leave to celebrate the triplets' birthday.
Bai Zhizhi and Lu Chuan took a few photos in the system space, and when they printed them out, they packed them up with some local specialties when they left for Wuyang County to show Bai's father and mother, so that they could know how their grandson/granddaughter looked like.
After finishing breakfast, Lu Chuan and his friends saw Brother Lu and his friends coming back together. They were holding things in their hands. They guessed that they must be gifts for the triplets. After all, this was the first time for the triplets to celebrate their birthday in the Lu family, so of course it had to be grand.
Soon after, Brother Lu and his family came over, carrying things in their hands and walking into the gate of the family compound.
Bai Zhizhi was thinking about whether to go to greet them, but Lu Chuan said, "Wife, we are all family, don't be so polite, let's go to the kitchen and cook, Brother Lu and the others must not have eaten yet! What delicious food should we make?"
Bai Zhizhi looked at Lu Chuan's serious face and stopped struggling. After all, these were his parents and brothers and sisters, so she gave up struggling. Suddenly, she thought of a simple and delicious breakfast - lo mein.
She said, "How about lo mein? It's one of the simplest breakfasts and it's delicious!"
Lu Chuan nodded in agreement. He reminded Bai Zhizhi, "Although lo mein is simple, you may need to prepare some noodles, otherwise there won't be enough to eat! How about you check how many noodles you have at home?"
Bai Zhizhi smiled and thought, "I can just take the noodles out from the space warehouse!" She thought to herself, and then said to Lu Chuan, "Okay, then I'll go see how many noodles I have at home. If it's not enough, I'll find a way to use my mind to take out a handful of noodles from the space warehouse!"
After that, Bai Zhizhi walked into the kitchen, opened the cupboard, and saw that there were still a lot of noodles inside. She said to Lu Chuan happily, "Fortunately, there are enough noodles at home to make a hearty lo mein meal! However, I still need to take a little more as a backup, just in case."
After that, she secretly used her mind to enter the space warehouse, took out a handful of noodles and put them in the kitchen. Then, she started to boil water and prepare to cook the noodles.
When the water boiled, Bai Zhizhi put the noodles into the pot and cooked them. After taking them out, she rinsed them with cold water, added seasonings and mixed them well. Finally, she brought out a bowl of fragrant noodles and handed it to Lu Chuan to taste.
Lu Chuan took the bowl, took a bite, nodded with satisfaction and praised: "Well, it tastes really good! Wife, your cooking skills are getting better and better!"
Bai Zhizhi smiled and replied: "That's good, I'll serve everyone another bowl!"
In this way, Bai Zhizhi and Lu Chuan got busy and soon prepared a big pot of noodles. They brought the noodles to the dining table and waited for the Lu family to arrive.
Time passed quickly, and it was already noon. Bai Zhizhi decided to cook a sumptuous lunch for everyone.
Lu Chuan and Mrs. Lu offered to help with chores such as washing and cutting vegetables, while Bai Zhizhi was responsible for cooking. After some effort, they finally completed the preparation of all the dishes.
After lunch, everyone sat together to celebrate the triplets’ birthdays. The triplets had happy smiles on their faces and expressed their gratitude to everyone.
The whole scene was warm and happy, full of family warmth and kinship care.
Just like that, since the afternoon was a bit long, Bai Zhizhi and Mrs. Lu took a nap. After the nap, they found that the time was still as long, so they sat together and chatted. Before, there was not enough time and they could not get together.
In this way, time passed quickly as they chatted. Lu Chuan and Bai Zhizhi prepared dinner and made a cake for the triplets.
Dinner went smoothly. After dinner, the Lu family members were waiting for the two-layer simple strawberry cake made by Bai Zhizhi. Then the whole family celebrated the triplets' birthday together. After eating the birthday cake together, they cleaned up the living room and went back to their rooms to sleep.
January 1974, 1, around 2: AM
Bai Zhizhi asked Lu Chuan to send the package and photos prepared yesterday back to Liujia Village in Province C. She wanted to continue sleeping as she was extremely tired.
Lu Chuan had no choice but to follow his wife's instructions. He rode his bicycle to the post office with the package on his back, wrote the name and address of the recipient, inspected, weighed the package, and paid the postage. After completing a series of procedures, he rode his bicycle back home happily.
