1212 Was Back
This was the good fortune of the babies as well as the parents.
The products recommended by the hospital were of good quality. Furthermore, Qiao Nan had been going to the same hospital since her pregnancy. She delivered the babies at the hospital and she brought the triplets for a checkup today. She trusted the hospital.
Qiao Nan had been thinking if she should work together with the auntie to come up with small biscuits that were suitable for the triplets to chew on and grind their teeth.
Since the doctor gave them good recommendations today, Qiao Nan could save her time and efforts to prepare the biscuits. She bought several teething rusks from the hospital, lest it go out of stock and the triplets have nothing to chew on.
Since they had triplets at home, no matter what they bought, they had to purchase three times the usual amount. It amounted to a shocking number.
“Ya.” San Bao was draped over Qiao Nan’s shoulder. She blinked her round and dark eyes, gazing at her auntie. She noticed that her auntie carried a huge bag with her. It was so large that her auntie could not be seen clearly. San Bao’s curiosity was piqued.
“Does San Bao want to chat with me?” Zhai Hua, who had to carry all the bags, did not feel the slightest tired at all. She raised her head at San Bao’s voice. San Bao smiled warmly at her. Her smile was brighter than the flowers. “San Bao is so pretty. What I am carrying belongs to San Bao and your brothers. If San Bao likes it, shall I buy more of it for you in the future?”
Zhai Hua doted on San Bao. Even though San Bao could not understand what she was talking about, she still gave her a brilliant smile. She thought that her auntie was chatting with herself.
San Bao was all excited. She waved her arms as if telling her auntie to hurry up.
San Bao opened her mouth and her saliva dripped all over Qiao Nan’s shoulder.
Qiao Nan felt something warm on her shoulder. The next instant, her shoulders felt wet and cool.
Qiao Nan was reminded of the weather in the capital. She changed San Bao to another position so that she would not drip her saliva on her other shoulder. She also placed a cotton towel on her wet shoulder.
“You should hurry to get in the car. It is so cold nowadays. You must change out of your clothes once you reach home.” Miao Jing was nervous. San Bao had dripped a lot of saliva onto Nan Nan’s shoulder. If she stayed outside for another second, it might turn into thin ice.
Back at the Zhai family’s residence, Old Master Zhai was playing chess with Zhai Sheng. Old Master Zhai looked up and smiled when he heard noises. “You’re back. What did the doctor say? Are the triplets growing up well?”
“They are doing great. The doctor praised them for making such good progress. One could not tell that they are triplets. Their developments are similar to those of normal babies.”
Miao Jing, who was carrying Da Bao, took off her thick jacket, revealing Da Bao’s hairy head.
Da Bao, who was tucked inside the jacket, was finally freed of it and could see the world outside. He kept fidgeting in his grandma’s arms, wanting to lie down on the bed.
Although he was not able to do anything when he was on the bed, he would at least have a bigger s.p.a.ce to move about. He felt cramped when he was being held by the adults. He could not move his arms and legs. It was torture to Da Bao, who was very active.
Da Bao was thrilled when he lay on the bed, feeling the soft touch of the bed. He flailed his arms and legs, as if he was swimming. He was much more adorable than the swimming frogs.
Da Bao was very active, and so were Er Bao and San Bao. They had enough of being held by the adults. They wanted to lie down on the bed to have their personal time.
One look at how the triplets were behaving, Old Master Zhai could tell that they were very healthy.
Old Master Zhai had a big smile on his face as he watched his great-grandchildren fidgeted about. He raised his head to look at Qiao Nan. “Granddaughter-in-law, s.h.i.+ Qing gave you a call just now and left a phone number for you. It is placed under the phone. You can find time to return her call.”
Old Master Zhai knew that his granddaughter-in-law was very close to s.h.i.+ Qing. Old Master Zhai did not stop Qiao Nan from befriending s.h.i.+ Qing. It was fine as long as Qiao Nan knew what she was doing.
“Oh, alright. Thank you, grandpa.” Qiao Nan’s eyes lit up upon hearing the news of s.h.i.+ Qing. Speaking of s.h.i.+ Qing, she was boiling in anger.
After she married Brother Zhai, held the wedding banquet, and moved to the capital after the Lunar New Year, she had no news of s.h.i.+ Qing. They had lost touch for nearly a year.
She had not seen s.h.i.+ Qing ever since she learned that she was pregnant. The triplets were already four months old. It was likely that s.h.i.+ Qing did not know that she had triplets.
On the day that Qiao Nan married Zhai Sheng, s.h.i.+ Qing told her that she was certain that she would have children at a young age. Although Qiao Nan was very young when she married Zhai Sheng, given his personality, he would not be able to stop himself from leading a married life with Qiao Nan.
s.h.i.+ Qing pledged in all sincerity and seriousness that she would be the G.o.dmother of Qiao Nan’s children. n.o.body could stop her from doing that, especially Zhai Sheng.
True enough, Qiao Nan was pregnant at a young age and she had triplets.
The triplets were already four months old. They were now in the developmental stages where they could recognize faces. However, s.h.i.+ Qing had not turned up to visit them at all.
Qiao Nan was disappointed and helpless that Qiao Dongliang could not be there for the one-month-old celebration, but she was infuriated that the G.o.dmother of the triplets was not present.
Before that, Qiao Nan had tried all means and ways to contact s.h.i.+ Qing. She even contacted s.h.i.+ Peng to ask about s.h.i.+ Qing. It turned out that s.h.i.+ Peng was clueless as well. He did not know what his daughter had been up to either. He had lost touch with her since a long time ago.
Nevertheless, s.h.i.+ Peng was s.h.i.+ Qing’s father.
s.h.i.+ Qing had told s.h.i.+ Peng during the last time they talked to each other that she needed to undergo special training in school and had to cut off all contact with the outside world for a period of time.
If s.h.i.+ Peng was unable to contact her during this period, he must not panic or be worried. She was alright. She was in school and she was training under the teachers’ supervision.
Since s.h.i.+ Qing had already told him about her training and s.h.i.+ Peng was not a nervous parent, he did not think too much about it.
Since his daughter studied at such a school, he had to accept that she would need to undergo special training. Back then, s.h.i.+ Peng stopped her from studying at such a school as he knew that she had to undergo such training.
However, his daughter had already transferred to the school. It was useless for him to say anything. He had no other choice but to accept it. He had to sort out his thoughts and support his daughter to fulfill her dreams.
s.h.i.+ Peng had done a lot for his daughter.
