Chapter 1645: You Did the Right Thing

Once the decision was made, she acted on it. After lunch, Chuxue went out again.

Her space was never short on fish, so she took out several big ones at once, thinking she would disguise herself later and deliver a batch to the black market, using that as a pretext to bring back extra, which would also serve as New Year gifts for the various households.

In the afternoon, Wei Wenbin watched the children while the two of them worked together in the kitchen making fish balls.

Chuxue looked at the basin full of fish balls and said, "How about we have fish ball noodles tonight?"

Aunt Wei now went wherever Chuxue pointed. She smiled and replied, "I brought a few jars of the tomato sauce I pickled in autumn. Let's fry up a braising liquid first, then add some of the little greens you brought back. The flavor won't be bad."

When Aunt Wei had first arrived at the house, she had wanted to save everywhere she could, but ever since Chuxue had a deliberate talk with her, she had followed Chuxue's instructions.

The couple had ability, different from other households. Other households pursued eating their fill; they not only pursued eating their fill but also paid attention to eating well.

Just as the two had tidied up and were about to rest a while before making dinner, they heard the voice of the husband's younger sister, Xiao Nianchun, at the front gate: "Chuxue, are you home?"

Chuxue wiped her hands and hurried out to greet her: "Auntie, what brings you here?"

Xiao Nianchun held up the things in her hands: "I heard from your dad that since the triplets' first birthday, you're not planning a big celebration, so I thought I'd bring over the things my little ones prepared for them early."

Chuxue welcomed her inside: "It's just that the children's great-grandfather passed away earlier this year, so I thought it would be better to keep a low profile."

Xiao Nianchun admired this niece of hers most of all—capable and thorough in everything she did: "You did the right thing."

After Xiao Nianchun saw the triplets, she tossed aside the things in her hands, rubbed her hands together to warm them for a while, then picked up each child one by one: "Oh my, Auntie loves you more and more the more I look at you. Each one of you is just too adorable."

After a round of affectionate cuddling, she finally took out the things she had brought: "Look, how about this—woolen sweaters and pants I knitted for them."

At one glance, Chuxue liked what Xiao Nianchun had brought immensely: "Auntie, I have to say, this skill of yours has truly inherited great-aunt's mantle completely."

Xiao Nianchun laughed: "This is the only thing I can show off. I knitted them a bit loose, so after the New Year they can wear them right out as outer clothes."

The more Chuxue looked, the more she liked them: "Auntie, what you knitted is really beautiful, I really love it. I have yarn here—would you mind the trouble of knitting a set for me too? When the time comes, the four of us, mother and sons, can go out in matching outfits. We'd definitely stand out."

Xiao Nianchun rolled her eyes at her: "Stand out? You might as well say we'd be a spectacle."

Chuxue didn't care, shook Xiao Nianchun's arm, and acted coquettishly: "Auntie, knit them for me, please. I really like them.

When the time comes, I'll take them out and snap a few photos. It'll definitely be gorgeous."

Xiao Nianchun said with a slightly complicated expression: "The children will look good in a set of woolen sweater and pants, but do you really want to dress like that too?"

Hearing this, she knew her aunt had misunderstood. Just imagining the picture, she herself burst out laughing.

After laughing enough, she finally said: "Auntie, you misunderstood. I only want the sweater."

Xiao Nianchun patted her own chest: "You gave me a fright."

Good thing I misunderstood. If you'd kept insisting a moment longer, I might have agreed to it. When the time comes, if you really did go out in a full set of woolen sweater and pants with the triplets, just thinking about it...

She didn't finish her sentence, raised her hand to rub her arms up and down, and her body gave an involuntary shudder.

The aunt and niece burst into laughter together. The triplets first tilted their heads and watched for a while, then all started laughing too.

The scene was very heartwarming.
