"I know that my sister has been preparing for studying abroad since she entered high school, and she has also taken the IELTS and TOEFL exams, and her scores should not be bad, but she is only fifteen years old, are you really willing to let her sail the ocean alone? Neither my brother nor my brother have any plans to study abroad?" Liu Xinyu frowned and looked at Zhang Hongliang, her eyebrows were full of worry.

The elder brother, younger brother, and younger sister are the three children of the couple, and they are fraternal triplets.

In this era when only one child was born, Liu Xinyu had three births, and it was a natural conception, but it was a rare thing to give the Zhang and Liu families.

The due date was supposed to be around March 10 of '88, but it started in the middle of the night on Chinese New Year's Eve.

The three children were born more than half a month ahead of schedule and came to the world in the early morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year.

There is a quarter of an hour between the eldest and the second, and only five minutes between the second and third.

All three children were born relatively small.

The eldest and the second are better, about the same weight, one is three pounds and two taels, and the other is exactly three months.

The third child is more miserable, and he is less than two pounds. At birth, the cry is as weak as a newborn kitten, and it can't be heard unless you listen carefully.

At that time, everyone was worried that they wouldn't be able to make ends meet.

The eldest and second were discharged from the hospital with Liu Xinyu after only one week in the hospital.

Only the third child was too weak, and he stayed in the nursery box for ten more days before he was allowed to take him home.

When he took it home, he was still a small one, and only when the movement was louder, the child could be frightened, and often cried incessantly.

Chen Zhaodi was worried that the child would not be easy to raise, so she wrapped the third child tightly without telling Liu Xinyu and Zhang Hongliang, and went to a nearby temple with Wang Sanmei, and asked the old monk to calculate a hexagram for the third child.

came back and quietly told Zhang Hongliang that the third child was short of fire, so he should not only get the name of Huowang for the third child, but also give the eldest and second child a name that can help the fire, and bring the third child with him.

Although Zhang Hongliang and Liu Xinyu didn't believe this, in order to reassure the old man, the couple still racked their brains to name the three children according to the old man's wishes.

Wood makes fire, and water overcomes fire.

Since you want to help the fire, of course, the name given to the eldest and second child must use the words of the five elements of wood, Zhang Hongliang put aside all the names originally prepared, looked through the dictionary for two days, and finally chose the name of the eldest and second child.

The eldest was named Zhang Ce, and the second was named Liu Zhen.

This was when they learned that Liu Xinyu was pregnant with at least twins, and the two families discussed it, the eldest surname was Zhang, and the second surname was Liu.

Now there is a third child, and the husband and wife discussed and decided to let the third child be surnamed Zhang and named Zhang Dan.

After the names of the three children were confirmed, Zhang Hongliang went to the police station to register the three children.

I don't know if it's because of the name, but on the night of the children's household registration newspaper, the family finally had a good night's sleep and made Chen Zhaodi so happy.

After that, the third child became even more competitive, and when the moon was full, the weight was basically about the same as the two elder brothers, looking at the three children who were about the same size as a normal baby, not only Chen Zhaodi had a sense of accomplishment, but Liu Xinyu naturally had a sense of accomplishment.

Of course, it is inevitable that the child will get sick, Liu Xinyu is busy with work, and the child will return to work in three months.

Fortunately, Liu Xinyu and Zhang Hongliang's salaries are not low, and Liu Xinyu is not bad at money, although Chen Zhaodi has transferred the responsibility of running the restaurant to Wang Sanmei, and said that she will go all out to help Liu Xinyu take care of the child, Liu Xinyu still hired two live-in nannies to assist Chen Zhaodi.

That's three kids!

Chen Zhaodi is indeed capable, and Zhang Hongliang will rush home to help as long as he is free, but how easy is it to take care of three children? !

What's more, Chen Zhaodi is in her sixties, and many times she is already powerless.

Therefore, although Chen Zhaodi strongly opposes it, Liu Xinyu absolutely insists on hiring a live-in nanny.

Thanks to Liu Xinyu's insistence, if he relied on Chen Zhaodi, he was afraid that he would be able to exhaust Chen Zhaodi in less than two days.

As the children grow up day by day, their personalities are gradually revealed.

The boss is calm and the second is in tune

Pi, the third child is squeamish, of course, there is also the same, that is, everyone has a smart head.

In order to reduce Chen Zhaodi's burden, the children entered the agency kindergarten when they were three years old, and they also moved home for this purpose.

Moved from Beihu Hutong to the building closest to the kindergarten.

Those were the two houses that were replaced during the demolition of the miscellaneous courtyard under Liu Xinyu's name, one ladder and two households, and the two households on the east side of the sixteenth floor were under Liu Xinyu's name.

One four-room house, one three-room house.

When the renovation was made, the two houses were opened, so there were five rooms and two study rooms.

This is also a school district house, although the school district is not as good as Changchun Garden No. 1, but it is not bad.

The three children only spent two years in the institutional kindergarten, and two years later, the three five-and-a-half-year-old children went to primary school together.

The primary school lasted for six years, and by the time the junior high school arrived, the three children began to feel uncomfortable.

Just entered the second half of the second semester of junior high school, the second child proposed to Liu Xinyu and Zhang Hongliang that he wanted to take the high school entrance examination in advance.

Zhang Hongliang and Liu Xinyu are still thinking about it, and the eldest and third also put forward the same request.

It's just that the high school they want to apply for is different.

At this time, Liu Xinyu had been transferred to the foreign affairs department as the deputy director of a certain department, and he was very busy with his work, but he knew the learning situation of the three children very well, even if he did not grasp everything as well as Zhang Hongliang.

Of course, I know that the three children have already started to study the second year of junior high school by themselves when they were in the sixth grade of primary school, and now they have all started to study the high school curriculum by themselves.

With their pace and level, there is absolutely no problem in taking the high school entrance examination.

It's just that I'm in high school now, isn't it too young?

Is it appropriate for them to start primary school a year earlier than other children, and if they take the high school entrance examination in advance, they will be two to three years younger than their classmates?

However, in the face of the children's eager eyes, Liu Xinyu and Zhang Hongliang discussed, or decided to respect the children's ideas, and communicated with the school, the three children got their wish to participate in the 2001 high school entrance examination in Beijing, and all of them were admitted to their favorite high school with excellent results, and the three brothers and sisters have since "gone their separate ways".

It's been two years in a flash, and as the third sister, she is ready to study abroad.

Although children always have to fly solo when they are older, as parents, there are always such and such worries, and Liu Xinyu is no exception.

I heard that Zhang Dan, who was only fifteen years old, planned not to take the domestic college entrance examination and study abroad directly, and the worry between his eyebrows and eyes was so thick that he couldn't dissolve.

Zhang Hongliang gently patted Liu Xinyu's back, chuckled and said, "Those two stinky boys, I heard that my sister is not going to take the domestic college entrance examination and plans to study abroad directly, and they have also applied for IELTS and TOEFL, and plan to accompany my sister to study abroad!"

That's pretty much it!

It's just that the thought of all three children going out to study abroad made Liu Xinyu feel a little headache again.

Although Liu Xinjian and Liu Xinyao are both married and have children, and even the youngest Liu Xincheng is about to get married, Chen Zhaodi's favorite great-grandchildren are still the three of Liu Xinyu's family.

The three children in his family are Chen Zhaodi's lifeblood, and the three children are all gone at once, I don't know if Chen Zhaodi can accept it.

Chen Zhaodi is almost eighty years old, and Liu Houxing passed away two years ago, Liu Xinyu is really worried that Chen Zhaodi will not be able to accept it.

"When the children grow up, it's good to go out and see the world, as long as you remember to come back every year!" Chen Zhaodi was unexpectedly open-minded, although she was indeed a little sad in her heart, she didn't stop it, but just made a small request to a few children.

Chen Dan and Liu Zhen are very good at coaxing the old man to be happy, the brother and sister are holding Chen Zhaodi's arm one by one, and you and I will say a word, coaxing Chen Zhaodi to smile.

Chen Ce squatted in front of Chen Zhaodi, gently rested his head on Chen Zhaodi's lap, and let Chen Zhaodi gently stroke it from time to time.
