Chapter 57: 57 Buy a motorhome?
"I think the Alfa is not as convenient as the Land Rover Range Rover you drive. In two or three years, when the baby gets naughty, they definitely won't be willing to just sit quietly in the car! If that's the case, it might be better to buy a motorhome; the kids can play inside, and it's very safe. Don't you think so?" Lin Yi's mother started encouraging her son again.
She now clearly understood that when it came to selecting a car, her son no longer needed to worry about the price. As long as it was genuinely convenient, the cost was irrelevant.
After hearing the suggestions from the elders, Lin Yi finally nodded and said, "You're right, since everyone thinks a motorhome is good, I'll stand on your side! Let's go car hunting together after some time, and try to get the car within this month. It will be much more convenient for travel in the future."
Lin Yi's parents nodded in agreement, "Yes, a motorhome is indeed convenient. Today, it took forever to find two parking spots."
"In this era, almost everyone has a car, and our big family traveling in one vehicle will be much faster," Han Xuewei's father added, nodding.
"After getting vaccinated, let's find some time to go to the dealership, and we must choose carefully. The space arrangement in different motorhomes varies," Lin Yi said earnestly.
"If you're buying the car, then you guys go. I don't really understand these things, and I can just stay home to watch the kids," Lin Yi's mother suddenly said.
Today, one of the maternity matrons had left, so Lin Yi's mother needed to invest more effort in taking care of the children. Moreover, Han Xuewei's mother hadn't retired yet and was about to return to work in a few days, so Lin Yi's mother had to focus all her attention on the family.
She had recently handed over all her duties to Lin Yi's father, and visiting the company once a week was enough. She spent the rest of her time at home with the children.
Han Xuewei's mother also said hurriedly, "I don't need to go, do I? I really don't know much about cars, after all. You guys choose, and I'll just stay home, no need for me to go."
Men have a great interest in cars, and every man has a dream of owning a luxury car! A car is a man's pride, and if you have a beauty by your side and can drive a luxury car, you're really a winner in life!
Seeing that his mom and mother-in-law weren't too keen on going, Lin Yi had no choice but to have his dad and father-in-law go with him.
"Tomorrow's Saturday, and we're free anyway, let's go together. How about it, in-laws? Do you have time tomorrow?" Lin Yi's father asked with a smile.
Ever since Han Xuewei's father moved in, he had been busy helping take care of the children. In the past few days, he had been bustling about, even going to Xiangcheng by himself to buy baby formula and diapers. Still, he had to visit the company every now and then.
Han Xuewei's father said with a smile, "I happen to be free tomorrow, but I have an important meeting on Monday, so I need to get back at least by Houtian."
Lin Yi replied directly, "No worries, it won't take too long. In that case, let's go take a look tomorrow."
If they were planning to take the car home the same day, they definitely needed to visit a big dealership. Small dealers often don't have vehicles in stock, let alone specialty motorhomes with a small target audience!
After chatting for a while, they heard their number being called on the loudspeaker.
"Number 99, please come to register."
Upon hearing his number called, Lin Yi quickly reached into his bag and pulled out the vaccine books and went to the front desk to register.
The person at the desk was taken aback when he saw three books, his gaze toward Lin Yi turned a bit strange. He then looked at the babies' birth dates and seemed even more surprised.
"Wow! They are triplets!"
The staff member couldn't help but become curious; triplets were indeed rare, at least in her more than ten years on the job, she had never seen them!
Lin Yi simply smiled politely, then said, "Yes, they are my babies."
The staff member's voice was loud, and many people turned their eyes towards them. After hearing the term 'triplets,' everyone suddenly realized with a start of surprise that after talking for so long, they hadn't expected that the family had had triplets all at once!
The staff, unable to hide her curiosity, said with a smile, "That's really impressive! Your wife is amazing too, the triplets were conceived naturally, right? That's so rare, I've worked here for so long and have never seen triplets!"
Lin Yi "hmm"ed in response, without saying much; that was his answer.
He didn't want a lot of people gossiping about his family and his children behind his back.
The person smiled and took the vaccination booklet, wrote some things in it, then placed it under the printer. After completing these tasks, she smiled at Lin Yi and said, "Each baby needs to be vaccinated twice. I've registered you now; you can hold the babies and line up at that entrance, it will be your turn soon."
After retrieving his booklet, Lin Yi nodded politely and said, "Okay, thank you."
Then, the large family proceeded majestically to the designated area and began to queue up.
There weren't many people ahead in line, and judging by the rate things were moving, they would be able to get the vaccinations in about fifteen minutes.
But while they were waiting, their eldest baby suddenly woke up—perhaps the noisy environment was too much for him, and feeling uneasy, he began crying as soon as he awoke.
Lin Yi's father immediately took the child from his wife's arms and soothed him, "There, there, it's alright, grandpa is here, don't cry, oh, oh..."
Guided by the tears of the eldest son, the other two children also woke up. Perhaps it was because the three babies were usually on the same schedule, they tended to sleep and awake at the same time. This kept the entire family busy.
This situation had its pros and cons. At least they weren't in a situation where after calming one baby down, another would wake up and cry—that would be a real headache. Having the same schedule meant the whole family was either busy all at once or relaxed all at once.
Parents who have had twins certainly share this sentiment.
Han Xuewei's father swiftly took the younger brother out of the stroller, "Don't cry, Zhiyu is good, grandfather is here, there you go, grandfather will hold you."
Lin Yi instinctively took his daughter, who had not yet started to cry, into his arms, and said, somewhat gleefully, "Our little Mengmeng is the well-behaved one, Mengmeng is the best-behaved! Mengmeng, won't you cry? Daddy is here!"
After such a commotion, the people lining up in front turned around to look. After hearing their address, they finally understood—so the two older couples were the grandparents and maternal grandparents of the babies?
The busybodies who were previously chatting couldn't help but marvel; it was a misunderstanding, and the family had had triplets!
But then, those people started a new round of discussion!
"Wow, isn't that so rare? This is the first time I've seen triplets! And there are two boys and one girl! It feels so magical!!"
