On the first night of her marriage, she was hospitalized

Chapter 458 The Practice of Making Promises Starts in Childhood

What bad things has my baby learned?

Jiang Tang rubbed her eyes and came downstairs.

Ask questions as you walk.

When the triplets saw their mother come downstairs, they all stood up.

Lu Changzheng wiped his hands with a handkerchief on the table and immediately went to help his wife.

"Mom said I eat too fast and the babies are learning bad habits from me."

"Uh……"

Jiang Tang blinked and looked at the triplets standing in a row to the side. She smiled and patted their heads.

"Dad is an adult, he can eat fast, but we can't, we're still little."

She's really trying to coax a child.

The triplets nodded in agreement.

"I know, Mom."

"We won't learn Dad's bad habits."

They made a verbal guarantee.

Jiang Tang was satisfied.

Lu Chenxi picked up a steamed bun and handed it to Jiang Tang. Jiang Tang smiled and took it, taking a bite, and her mouth was full of beef flavor.

"Really delicious."

"Mom's cooking is so delicious."

She gave He Lihua a thumbs up.

The triplets immediately praised their grandmother and then told their mother that they had also helped.

"That baby is also very capable."

"She's such a great help to Grandma and Mom!"

When it comes to praising people, Jiang Tang has a very sweet tongue.

People of all ages were overjoyed by her praise.

Lu Changzheng watched their interaction with a smile. He packed twelve buns, added two more for himself, and then went out to work.

He has a car to pick him up and drop him off, so he doesn't have to walk to work.

First, hand the two individually packaged buns to Xiao Zhang, who picks him up and drops him off every day, and then ask him to take a detour to the logistics office.

He had Xiao Zhang stop the car when they passed the logistics office, and gave the two portions of steamed buns wrapped in oil paper to the two young soldiers who had delivered vegetables that morning.

To their utter surprise, Lu Changzheng personally delivered steamed buns to them, freshly steamed beef buns no less.

The two men, each clutching their own oil paper packages, were at a loss for words, repeatedly expressing their gratitude.

In the north, thousands of miles from their homes, they felt the warmth of home.

This warmth was given to them by a high-ranking leader, a position they could never reach in their entire lives…

"Thank you, thank you."

"Thank you."

The two were deeply moved.

Lu Changzheng nodded slightly, then turned and went back to his car.

People who need to go to work have gone to work.

Those at home continue preparations for the Lunar New Year.

He Lihua picked out the steamed buns, packed one portion of twenty buns into two portions of twelve buns, and had the triplets deliver them.

"Give this extra portion to your aunt's family, and give this smaller portion to Aunt Deng's family, understand?"

Although it was said that twenty steamed buns were given to the Cheng family, there were many people in the Cheng family, so each person received less than three.

Thinking of this, He Lihua put another one in.

Twenty-one.

The family consists of seven people, so each person gets three.

Lu Chenxi took the larger portion, and Lu Chengping took the smaller portion. The siblings went out together.

Jiang Tang helps He Lihua with housework at home.

Although she's not good at housework, she can't really do nothing.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law ate steamed buns, and the triplets also ate steamed buns. Breakfast can be made a little later.

Before that, they had several hours to prepare the beef.

Jiang Tang separated the beef from the bones, while He Lihua cut the beef and took out the portions to be stir-fried or stewed, hanging them under the eaves in the backyard.

The outside temperature was low, like a giant natural refrigerator. After stir-frying and stewing the beef, the remaining beef bones were used to make soup.

He Lihua used a large pot to put the beef bones that Jiang Tang had chopped into it, along with some ginger and other ingredients, and then stewed the beef bones over a coal fire.

Jiang Tang was chopping beef to make beef balls.

The meatballs they made yesterday were left to freeze overnight after being cooked, and now they feel rock hard to the touch.

When you're having hot pot or cooking noodles, you can just put them directly into the pot to cook.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law worked all morning to make the beef balls.

He Lihua rubbed her aching lower back and said to Jiang Tang with a smile, "I'm getting old, and I'm not as capable as I used to be."

Jiang Tang glanced at He Lihua and nodded.

I went back to my room upstairs to look for something.

A short while later, he came downstairs with a ginseng root.

"Mom boiled it in water and drank it."

Upon seeing this, He Lihua waved her hands repeatedly.

"Mom is fine, she's just a little stiff from sitting for so long. She'll be fine after walking around for a bit. There's no need to waste ginseng."

“This ginseng could be sold for a lot of money outside. I’m not sick or in pain, so there’s no need to waste it.”

He Lihua is quite frugal.

However, after listening to He Lihua's words, Jiang Tang decided to brew ginseng tea for her mother herself.

Also, whenever you have a chance, hold your mother's hand and touch her to nourish her body.

The beef bones had been stewing for a whole day, and by the time Lu Changzheng returned, they were emitting a wonderful aroma.

The pieces of meat that weren't completely cut off the bones were stewed until they were incredibly tender. If you gently poked them with chopsticks, the meat would tremble and almost separate from the bone.

The family used the beef broth to make noodles for dinner.

Authentic hand-pulled noodles, topped with beef meatballs, beef, and broth—the taste is simply divine.

The three children ate until their bellies were round and full.

Jiang Tang was also extremely satisfied.

As for He Lihua and Lu Changzheng, they were also eating with beaming smiles.

Even after she had eaten her fill, He Lihua couldn't help but sigh, "Ten years ago, I would never have dared to dream of such a good day as having an endless supply of meat!"

"When Xixi earns money in the future, she will also make sure Grandma lives a good life."

Lu Chenxi took the opportunity to make empty promises in front of her grandmother.

Although the two younger brothers didn't seize the initiative like their older sister, they nodded in agreement, showing through their actions that they were just like their sister.

They will all earn money to give their grandmothers a good life.

He Lihua couldn't stop smiling.

"Good, good, good. Grandma's three grandsons are all filial. Grandma is waiting for you to earn money to support Grandma and let her live a good life."

"And Mom and Dad, they also need to live a good life," Lu Chenxi added.

As expected of her father's sweet little daughter, she treated him the same way when making promises.

Lu Changzheng was also very happy to be coaxed by his daughter.

Time passed amidst the family's laughter and joy, and New Year's Eve arrived.

It's the last day of 1985.

After today, it will be a new year.

Early in the morning, the Lu family, young and old, got ready, packed their gifts, closed the door, got into the car Lu Changzheng had borrowed, and left the family compound together with the car Cheng Guoyuan had borrowed.

He Yucheng had originally planned to come and pick people up.

However, Cheng Guoyuan also managed to borrow a car from his work unit.

Since there's a car, He Yucheng doesn't need to come over.

The Lu and Cheng families closed the door and went to the city together.

Jiang Tang's car only had three adults and three children, so it wasn't as crowded as Cheng Guoyuan's car.

Cheng ran over and sat in the back with his younger brother and sister.

When Chengduo saw her brother arrive, she also had tears in her eyes and wanted to come over and sit with her brother and sister.

In the end, their car became a bit more cramped than the Cheng family's car.

However, there is enough room to sit down.

Besides, they don't check for overloading anymore, so driving slowly doesn't really matter.

People of all ages happily headed to the city.
