At that time, Lan Baozhen was not at home.
The maid told Gu Xinzhou that Lan Baozhen had left for the hospital early in the morning and probably wouldn't return until four or five in the afternoon.
Gu Xinzhou asked the maid to prepare lunch and took the children upstairs to pick out a children's room.
Since the babies were still young, Gu Xinzhou thought that to foster their sibling bond, they wouldn't have separate rooms until after they graduated from kindergarten, and moreover, there is an old Chinese saying: "Boys and girls should not sit together after the age of seven," which is precisely when children become aware of gender differences.
After expressing her thoughts, she added, "Although you three little ones will sleep in the same room, we still need to ask Qiao Yi for her opinion—her wishes are the most important."
The three little ones slowly made their way through every room in the house.
