A woman in her 1970s remarried a tycoon with no heir, and gave birth to triplets, stunning the famil

"Our mother is gone," the eldest boy said, his eyes red as he held his younger siblings' hands.

Liu Guiying looked at Jiang Linwan with a shocked expression: "This new political commissar doesn't look very old, so how come his wife died so early?"

The other military wives also looked on with sighs.

Political Commissar Xiao had a smile on his face throughout: "My wife passed away from illness this year. From now on, we'll all be living in the same family compound, so I'll have to trouble everyone to take care of each other."

Upon hearing this, everyone initially expressed regret, but quickly helped carry the items.

"Don't say it's troublesome, we're all from the same compound, so we're family."

Liu Guiying, heavily pregnant, couldn't help, so she pulled Jiang Linwan back home, sighing as they walked, "What a pitiful person, how could she have gotten sick and passed away like that."

"If he and his wife had come here sooner, maybe Lin Wan, you could have saved her."

This person can be quite unpredictable sometimes.

"Lin Wan, you're off today. Let's go see An Rou this afternoon," Liu Guiying said. "She must be bored at home all by herself. We can keep her company and chat with her."

I remember her birthday is next month. What are you planning to give her as a birthday present?

Jiang Linwan nodded and agreed.

On her birthday, Jiang Linwan suddenly thought of Lu Qiyue's birthday. She was so tired from being bothered by him that day that she forgot about it when she woke up.

She had to ask Aunt Liu quickly, lest she forget such an important matter.

Jiang Linwan hurriedly ran back to the yard, where Aunt Liu had just entered the kitchen to prepare lunch.

Seeing her return, he asked, "Shall we have noodles for lunch?"

I just bought some pork ribs and a fish from the restaurant. I'll make braised pork ribs and steamed fish. There's bread on the table; have some if you're hungry.

Seeing the lavish lunch, Jiang Linwan suddenly realized something was wrong. Could it be that today was Qiyue's birthday? She hadn't prepared anything yet.

Jiang Linwan's expression instantly became a little unnatural, and she asked guiltily, "Aunt Liu, what's the date today? It's not Qiyue's birthday, is it?"

Aunt Liu thought she had forgotten the date and said with a smile, "That's right, it's been so many years since I've seen Qiyue. He's been here all these years alone, he definitely hasn't celebrated his birthday."

Jiang Linwan panicked even more now. It really was Qiyue's birthday, and she hadn't prepared at all.

Aunt Liu, seeing that she didn't speak, continued, "Qiyue is a good child. I used to think he was too quiet and always alone."

I was afraid that one day he would be all alone, but I never expected that this guy would get married so easily. He'll be a father soon.

With you all by his side, his mother can rest easy in heaven.

"Aunt Liu, let me cook for you. You can try my cooking." Jiang Linwan went into the kitchen. There probably wasn't enough time to prepare a gift, so she could only cook a meal to make up for it first, and then slowly make up for the gift later.

Aunt Liu initially wanted to refuse and tell her to rest, but then she remembered that it was Qiyue's birthday today, so she didn't say anything and took the initiative to help her.

The two of them started preparing on the 11th and worked until 12:30. When Lu Qiyue returned, Jiang Linwan had already prepared four dishes and a soup, plus longevity noodles with eggs, symbolizing long life.

As soon as Lu Qiyue returned, he saw Jiang Linwan carrying noodles out of the kitchen. He quickly went over and took the bowl from her hands: "Why did you go to the kitchen? Why aren't you resting?"

When Jiang Linwan saw him return, she stood on tiptoe and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek.

Lu Qiyue stiffened slightly, her ear tips turned bright red, and she looked down at the person in front of her, her eyes soft and hot.

"Happy birthday, Qiyue-ge." Jiang Linwan smiled at him.

The three children standing at the door had their mouths agape in an "O" shape.

Lu Qiyue was stunned. He hadn't celebrated his birthday for many years. When he was at home, his father was busy with his work, and only Aunt Liu remembered his birthday.

Later, he joined the army alone and forgot about his birthday, so much so that he almost forgot about it himself.

Looking at his small figure in front of her, a warm, bittersweet feeling welled up inside her, and her chest swelled up violently.

His Adam's apple bobbed heavily, and his eyes slowly reddened: "Thank you, Wanwan. I really enjoyed this birthday."

As he finished speaking, he caught a glimpse of several figures at the door. Jiang Linwan also saw that they were the children of the newly arrived Political Commissar Xiao. She smiled and waved to them.

"Come here, where's your father?" Jiang Linwan asked.

The eldest boy, Xiao Xiangdong, said, "My dad went out to get food, he'll be back soon."

"Auntie, your cooking smells so good," said three-year-old Xiao Hongya, swallowing hard.

Lu Qiyue glanced at the children and said, "Xiang, you can stay at your aunt's house for dinner. Your dad has been called away for something and won't be back for a while."

Jiang Linwan washed her hands with the three children and led the two youngest girls into the house.

Lu Qiyue took an orange for each of Xiao Hongya and the others, squatted down and handed it to them.

Xiao Hongya took the orange and gave Lu Qiyue a quick kiss on the cheek: "Happy birthday, Uncle Qiyue."

Lu Qiyue was stunned for a moment, and five-year-old Xiao Chunya also gave him a "smack" on the cheek, and then imitated Jiang Linwan and said, "Happy birthday, Uncle Qiyue."

Xiao Xiangdong, holding the orange in his hand, blushed instantly and shoved it into Lu Qiyue's arms, saying, "I... I don't want to eat it anymore, I want to go home."

Lu Qiyue reached out and grabbed Xiao Xiangdong's wrist, shoving the orange back into his mouth. Xiao Xiangdong snapped, "I don't want your orange, I won't kiss you."

"I'm a grown man, I can't kiss another grown man." He's already eight years old, a big kid.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Linwan couldn't help but laugh out loud, and Lu Qiyue also chuckled lightly: "Who told you to kiss me? Even if you wanted to, I wouldn't let you."

Xiao Xiangdong then looked at him timidly and said, "Really."

"Really! I only like well-behaved children." Lu Qiyue stood up, walked up to Jiang Linwan, and teased, "You're corrupting the children."

"How was I supposed to know there were people watching?" Jiang Linwan said, blushing.

Xiao Xiangdong breathed a sigh of relief, but soon became angry again. Why wasn't he being obedient?

The three children from the Xiao family ate at the Jiang family's house before going home.

As soon as they went outside, many children from the family compound gathered around them: "Why are you eating with Commander Lu? He's very fierce."

Xiao Hongya immediately pouted: "No, Uncle Qiyue and Auntie are very nice, and Auntie cooks very well."

"What did you all eat?" one of the children asked curiously.

"Braised pork ribs, big fish, and mushroom chicken soup..." Xiao Chunya said with a look of reminiscence.

The children were so tempted they were practically drooling.

Looking at the children, Xiao Xiangdong suddenly had a wicked idea: "Today is Uncle Qiyue's birthday, as long as you..."

"Really!" The children exclaimed excitedly. Xiao Xiangdong nodded with a smug look on his face. "Remember to come early this afternoon."
