Fortunate Eighties: The Bewitching Female Rival Who Tamed Her Husband with Skill Chapter 117 - 117 117 Returned to the County

Chapter 117: Chapter 117 Returned to the County Chapter 117: Chapter 117 Returned to the County “A radio? Old Lu, you got a radio?!!”

Everyone exclaid in surprise. Although they were all workers’ families from the textile factory, a radio was still considered a luxury item in that era, hard to co by, and it used electricity.

Father Lu gestured solemnly with his hand, “It was all my second daughter-in-law’s doing. She was worried I’d be bored at ho by myself, so she bought one specially for .”

“Wow, Old Lu, your second daughter-in-law is really filial.”

“Look at Old Lu’s daughter-in-law, so capable and filial.”

The group of old n and won were envious, who wouldn’t want such a capable daughter-in-law in their family?

The corners of Father Lu’s mouth couldn’t stop rising as everyone took turns praising him.

“Yes, yes, my wife and I have good taste, all our daughters-in-law are filial.”

“Alright, I’m not going to chat anymore, I’m going ho to listen to the radio and go to bed early.”

With that, Father Lu, having successfully shown off to the old neighbors, walked back ho humming a tune with his hands behind his back.

Leaving behind a group of envious old n and won at the Family Court.

Look at Old Lu’s daughter-in-law, and then look at our own who only know how to squabble over food.

It’s all fate!

Father Lu, who had just shown off successfully, had no clue that he had sparked a war between mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law at ho, as he sat back with his legs crossed, humming along with the radio.

On the floor lay a big black dog, its tail also wagging rhythmically to the sound of the radio.

Provincial City

Ever since the Lu household got a radio, Mrs. Lu and Lu Xiaogu would set aside ti to listen to the broadcast, lately becoming fans of the evening stories.

“Second sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, it’s ti.”

“Oh, I’m coming.”

Mrs. Lu quickly cradled the radio and placed it on the heated brick bed, carefully turning it on as instructed by her daughter-in-law.

Voices soon began to emanate from the radio.

Hearing the voices, the triplets all toddled over, arms raised to be lifted onto the brick bed.

“Grandma, bed bed.”

“Grandma, grandma.”

“Grandma, listen listen.”

Mrs. Lu and Lu Xiaogu quickly lifted the three little ones onto the brick bed, and to make sure the children were comfortable, spread a padded mattress for them.

The triplets, propped against pillows, sat side by side, incredibly well-behaved.

The three little ones couldn’t understand what was being said on the radio, but as long as they heard it, they would sit diligently, mimicking their grandma and aunt’s example.

Sotis, when they heard songs playing from the radio, they would also hum along, though in a jumble. But you couldn’t deny how adorable it was.

Returning ho, grandma Susu was greeted by this scene: two adults and three children all listening attentively to the radio, so engrossed that none of them noticed her arrival. Not wanting to interrupt their storyti, Susu quietly went to lie down in the west room.

Lying with her eyes closed, she envisioned scenes in her mind, inspired by the sounds coming from the room next door.

“Susu, when did you get back?”

Mrs. Lu ca out to prepare dinner and imdiately noticed her daughter-in-law lying on the bed.

“I got back while you were all listening to the story. Are you cooking, mom? I’ll help you.”

“Alright, Susu, is there anything you’d like to eat today? If not, I’ll make a mixed vegetable stew, and we’ve also got the stead buns and rolls from this morning.”

“Let’s go with the mixed vegetable stew. I’ve been craving it too.”

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law worked efficiently together, washing and chopping vegetables, starting the fire, and stir-frying, all in one fluid motion.

“Daughter-in-law, we’re back.”

“Aunt, we’re back.”

“Wash your hands, set the table mat, al’s about to be ready.”

“Uh-huh, got it.”

Father and son chid in unison.

Ti flew by, and before they knew it, the scorching sumr had arrived.

“Auntie, I’m back.”

Susu lay under the cool shade structure that Lu Xiaoting had specially built for his wife, comfortably lounging on a recliner with her eyes closed, feigning sleep.

“Did you finish your exam so early? Did you co back by yourself, or did your uncle co to pick you up?”

“Hehe, I walked back on my own, it’s not that far anyway.”

Xiao Yu chuckled, revealing a row of white teeth that made him look even darker.

“Brother.”

“Brother.”

“Got it, thought about it.”

Hearing the noise inside the house, the triplets clamored to get down from the kang bed to find their brother, and Mrs. Lu and Lu Xiaogu picked up each little chubby one by one.

While talking, the triplets wouldn’t let go of their brother and clamored for kisses.

Xiao Yu happily presented his face, letting his younger siblings cake it with drool, not minding in the least, and even gave each of them a kiss in return.

No one knew where the three little ones had picked up the habit, but it was a family rule that everyone must kiss to say goodbye and to welco soone back.

As soon as Xiao Yu got back, the triplets stuck to him like glue, following him wherever he went, even to the bathroom.

Taking advantage of not having to care for the three little ones, Mrs. Lu and Lu Xiaogu took a mont to scrub and wash so of the kids’ dirty clothes and hung them up to dry.

“Brother’s three little shadows.”

“Hehe.”

The triplets toddled along behind their brother, giggling stupidly at their mother’s words.

“I want to be carried.”

The little girl was lazy, tired of walking, and wanting to stick with her brother, she stretched out her chubby little arms for a hug.

Looking at the little one’s arms chubby like lotus roots, Xiao Yu squatted down, coaxing, “How about brother gives you a piggyback ride?”

“Uh-huh. I want a piggyback ride.”

The little one got her wish and clambered onto her brother’s back, giggling so uproariously it was utterly comical.

Pingping and Anan glanced at their sister and then trotted along behind their brother.

Susu’s business in the county didn’t require her to stay in the shop except for the occasional check-in to inspect accounts and hygiene issues.

This ti, they returned to the county with the three children, fearing Father Lu would miss them too much.

They also gave Lu Xiaogu a week off to go ho and visit; Little Aunt had been helping with the kids and tidying up without complaint since after New Year’s and hadn’t been back since.

If it weren’t for the fact that Father Lu still had to work, he probably would have gone to fetch his three grandkids himself.

“I want to get down.”

“I want to get down.”

The triplets clamored to get down and walk. Arriving at the entrance to the Family Court, it was too much to carry them, and so they let the boys down to walk.

Susu took the pudgy little girl, and Mrs. Lu and Xiao Yu led the two boys by their chubby hands.

“Oh, isn’t that Huai Ze’s mother and the second son’s wife? Back, are you?”

“Oh my, these must be your triplets? They’re so well-fed, all chubby and fair.”

“Co here, give grandma a hug.”

Anan wasn’t shy at all, cheerily reaching out her chubby little hands to the elderly couple, not frightened in the slightest.

Pingping didn’t like being touched by strangers. Right now, she stretched out her hands wanting to be held by grandma.

Lele had already buried her face in her mother’s neck, peeking out curiously now and then.

Mrs. Lu, holding her heavy grandson with so difficulty, bead with joy as she chatted with the old neighbors.

“Eh? Why are you here? Why aren’t you taking the kids ho?”

Father Lu hurried back, pushing his bicycle. As soon as he entered the alley, he saw his wife chatting with others while holding his grandson.

“The old man’s timing is perfect, I can’t carry our grandson any longer.”

Mrs. Lu quickly placed the big grandson on the rear seat of the bicycle and rubbed her lower back.
