Chapter 1515: A Bunch of Children
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
As Miao Jing said, children nowadays matured early. They were only primary school students, but everyone knew how to doll themselves up. Now, skinny was considered beautiful. As such, the girls in school started to say that they wanted to eat less and slim down. At this time, San Bao, who never once controlled the amount of food she ate, was simply an oddball.
In the beginning, people laughed at the way San Bao ate, saying that she would turn into a fat pig soon. It was a pity that for the next few years, San Bao only ate more and more and didn’t control her food intake at all. What was funny was that San Bao only grew vertically, not horizontally.
As such, San Bao, who ate the most, remained slender. However, those girls who often said they wanted to go on a diet ended up having more meat than San Bao.
Because of this, San Bao became extremely proud. She felt that the cla.s.smates in school who wanted to lose weight were fools. What use was there to eat less? They had to exercise more. Her father had said before that when her mother was young, she was slender. No matter how she ate, she wouldn’t gain weight. As such, she must be like her mother, eating and drinking when she should.
She didn’t wish to faint from hunger when she was halfway through cla.s.s. How embarra.s.sing that would be.
“Yes, eat more. With your figure, you can afford to grow some more meat. You’re like your mother. When she was pregnant with the three of you, only her stomach was big. From behind, no one could tell that not only was she pregnant, but she was also pregnant with three children. It wasn’t easy for her to finally put on some weight. After giving birth to the three of you, within two months, Nan Nan weighed three to five pounds less than before you were born. All of you didn’t know how tough a life your mother led in order to take care of the three of you.”
“…” It was the first time San Bao heard these words. She looked at Qiao Nan brightly. “I know my mother is the best.” A lot of her cla.s.smates were brought up by a nanny when they were young.
There weren’t a lot of parents like her mother who came personally to fetch their children home from school every day. Every time she saw this, San Bao wanted to cherish the happiness she had even more. Based on such a mother alone, they were already much luckier than the average children.
Qiao Nan pinched San Bao’s cheek. “You only have more meat on your face. Focus when you’re eating. Less talking, more eating. As for the exams, the three of you have always performed well. I believe this won’t be an issue. Thus, don’t give yourselves too much pressure. It’s fine to score just like you did usually.”
Every parent hoped that their child’s results would be better and that they would be more outstanding. However, this wasn’t the only criteria to judge if a child was good or bad. Qiao Nan’s expectations for the triplets were to work hard and take the exams seriously. There wasn’t a need to be too nervous or care too much about the results.
“Mother, don’t worry. We understand.” Da Bao nodded wisely. There were some things he never heard of, but he understood how much his mother loved them. She didn’t become partial to anyone or neglect anyone just because she had three children.
Their mother was equally good to and concerned about all three of them.
Da Bao mentioned that the expression other students had when mentioning their mothers was completely different from how he felt when he thought about his own mother. His mother was really the best in this world.
The three children ate happily. The whole family became happy from watching them.
After the triplets graduated from primary school, the Zhai family became livelier as there were more children. Of course, Qiao Nan didn’t give birth to them. However, the people Qiao Nan knew had given birth to them. Xiao Bao, whom Zhai Hua had given birth to, loved his grandma’s place. It wasn’t strange for him to stay there for a period of time.
After s.h.i.+ Qing married Zhu Baoguo, she gave birth to a chubby son ten months later. Many people had joked and calculated that this was a honeymoon baby. He was planted in his mother’s womb the first night of his parents’ marriage and they were highly efficient.
A few years after Fang Fang became Gao Yan’s girlfriend, she agreed to marry him and become the Gao family’s daughter-in-law. When they got married, the triplets were the flower boys and flower girl. In the second year of their marriage, Fang Fang gave birth to a son.
Going by this, the triplets in Qiao Nan’s family were really outstanding, the single red flower in the midst of thick foliage.
It was unknown if the Zhai family had a good aura or if Qiao Nan was really well-liked by children. After they grew up and could express their likes and dislikes, the Zhai family became their common choice. These children insisted on letting Qiao Nan carry them. Every time she did so, they would be so happy that they salivated. No words could describe how happy they looked.
Thankfully, the triplets and Xiao Bao had grown up. Otherwise, with so many babies who competed with themselves appearing at once, the ignorant children would definitely yell with anger. Initially, Xiao Bao threw tantrum for a few days.
The triplets expressed that they were already primary school students and didn’t need their mother to carry them every day. With so many little brothers around, they could temporarily let their mother play with them in the day.
On May 11, these children came to the Zhai family’s home in unison. Xiao Bao frowned. “Auntie, why are they always coming over to our house to play?” Don’t they have a home? Is it really good for them to come over to other people’s house once it is the holidays?
These children couldn’t be so thick-skinned just because they were young and ignorant. This wasn’t good, right?
Xiao Bao complained about these children ruthlessly in his heart. His sour tone made everyone laugh.
Gao Yan glanced at his son, who was squatting in a corner playing with his toys, from time to time. He said leisurely, “Who asked your auntie’s house to be so fun? It’s simply too tempting and our children love to play here. Look at you. Aren’t you always coming over to your grandma’s place as well?”
“Uncle Gao, don’t you feel embarra.s.sed arguing with a child like me?” Xiao Bao stood in front of Gao Yan and said angrily, “Every time you son comes over, he cries. My ears feel very uncomfortable. How shameful for a child to keep crying.”
Every time Gao Yan’s son was carried away by his parents to leave the Zhai family, he would indeed cry. However, he only cried then. The rest of the time, when Gao Feng stayed in the Zhai family, he was always an obedient baby. Anyone could carry him and he would laugh whenever someone played with him. He addressed everyone in a sweet voice and even threw out compliments as if they didn’t cost anything.
