1403 Done a Good Deed
As for the s.h.i.+ family, s.h.i.+ Peng did not expect that his parents would help take care of the baby. He would be glad if they could watch their behavior and did not create trouble for him. As for him, although he was just as busy, his wife had all the time in the world.
If he really had a grandchild, Feng Cheng would be occupied and she could play with her maternal grandchild.
Since he had already thought of who would take care of the child after the child was born, undoubtedly, he would have thought of the issue of feeding the baby as well. As the mother, s.h.i.+ Qing had no time to take care of the baby. All the more she would have no time to breastfeed the baby. Like Tian Yu, s.h.i.+ Qing’s child would have to drink baby formula.
However, s.h.i.+ Peng was conservative and old-fas.h.i.+oned in some aspects.
There were many brands of baby formula in his country and several of them were quite famous and were widely received by the consumers. Since his country had their own baby formulas, why would he have blind wors.h.i.+p of foreign goods and ideas and buy the baby formulas from overseas? Why would he let foreigners stand to gain?
The s.h.i.+ family would never do that!
He did not care how the Zhai family and the Tian family raise their children. It was none of his business. s.h.i.+ Peng had a different opinion from them, but he would not be obnoxious to persuade the Zhai family and the Tian family to support local products.
However, he would make the decision as to what brand of baby formula his grandchild should have in the future.
s.h.i.+ Peng was patriotic and insisted on supporting local products. However, he did not expect that he had yet to have a grandchild when a certain local brand of baby formula ended up giving him a tight slap to his face.
With Tian Dong’s help, they conducted random checks on baby formulas from all over the country. In the end, the results were as Qiao Nan had said. There was a big problem with the baby formula!
s.h.i.+ Peng was all ready to buy local brand baby formula for his grandchild. When he learned of the results, he was so furious that he felt like killing someone. The country’s economy was doing well, and everyone was earning more than before. Even if the products were of high quality, the bosses of the factories would have made a lot of profits from the ma.s.s production of the products.
One did not expect that men would be so greedy. Men had insatiable desires indeed. Their carnal cravings were never satisfied and were the main obstruction on the path to enlightenment. They wanted to earn lots of money against their conscience. They should be shot to death for being so unscrupulous!
Thankfully, they discovered the problem with the baby formula before it got worse. Otherwise, s.h.i.+ Peng could not imagine the countless number of children that would have suffered from the toxic baby formula.
Qiao Nan breathed a sigh of relief when she knew that the toxic baby formula had been discovered before the problem had turned worse.
Luckily, the impact was not as serious. The news of the toxic baby formula caused an uproar in society but the government kept everything under control and it did not cause further alarm in the society.
Qiao Nan did not feel that it was because of her that the problem was resolved. She only hoped that all the babies in China could grow up to be healthy and strong.
After the incident with the toxic baby formula, Tian Dong realized the importance of the baby and mother products industry. It was not because of money that spurred him to venture into this industry again. He only wished that his child would not come into contact with all these toxic products that failed to meet the standard.
It was a coincidence that Qiao Nan had been through rebirth. Therefore, she was well aware of the events and happenings in the next decade.
Since Qiao Nan was considered as a minor shareholder of the Tian Corporation, Tian Dong decided to cooperate with Qiao Nan to work on the mother and baby products industry. The training chopsticks became one of the products that were being ma.s.s manufactured.
Since her family was into the production of the baby and mother products, Qiao Nan could take whatever that she needed for the four children at home. They would no longer lack any daily household items in the future.
The triplets had gotten used to using the training chopsticks to have meals. Although they still needed more practice, they had already got the hang of it. Xiao Bao watched as his elder brothers and sister used the training chopsticks to eat, while he was being fed by the adults. Xiao Bao was full of admiration for his elder brothers and sisters.
Qiao Nan could tell that Xiao Bao could not wait to use the training chopsticks. Although she did not teach him how to use it, she prepared a pair of training chopsticks for him.
Xiao Bao was very sensible. When he was having meals, he would grab the training chopsticks with one hand and poke at the rice and vegetables in his bowl with the training chopsticks. He would not wave the chopsticks in the air or poke himself accidentally. He would open his mouth for his food, like a young bird waiting for food, emptying all the contents on the spoon.
“Nan Nan, shall I feed him?” The auntie noticed that Qiao Nan had yet to have her meal and was feeding Xiao Bao. Qiao Nan had just returned from work and she must be tired. The triplets had finally grown older and they could learn to do things by themselves. Qiao Nan could finally lighten her load. Now that Xiao Bao was here, it seemed as if Qiao Nan returned to the days where the triplets were still one year old.
It was rare that Xiao Bao, who was well-behaved, made known his feelings. He grabbed his small bowl tightly, shaking his head at the helper. “No, no, auntie, feed me, auntie, feed me.” He did not want other people to feed him.
Qiao Nan smiled as she rejected the auntie’s kind gestures. “It’s alright. Xiao Bao is very well-behaved. There is no need for me to coax him. He will take the food that I give him obediently. He will finish them in no time. I can do it. Auntie, you can help me keep a watch on the triplets.”
The auntie did not insist any further. She looked at the triplets proudly. “The triplets are so well-behaved. They are young but they are very sensible. One would feel hungry when one looks at them when they are eating. Madam Zhai could not help but have more food when she looks at the way they are eating. The chief also said that madam seemed to have put on weight recently. I have seen quite a lot of children around the triplets’ age in the quad, but the parents have to chase after them to feed them.”
On the other hand, the triplets were already learning to have the meals by themselves, and they would finish the food happily. They would empty the bowl of rice, not leaving a single grain of rice behind.
The auntie did not need to do much. She only needed to keep a watch on the triplets while they had their meals. If they wanted to have certain food but it was out of their reach, the auntie would use the serving chopsticks to get it for them.
Qiao Nan smiled at the way the auntie praised the triplets. “If they did not have a good appet.i.te, they would not be chubby.” Compared to children from other families who were slim, her children were considered to be on the chubby side.
“It’s good for the children to be slightly chubby. Moreover, those are not fat. Those are muscles. They are similar to their dad.” Miao Jing put in good words for her grandchildren. The three children seemed to know the difference between fats and muscles.
They knew that muscles were good, while fats were not.
Therefore, they would raise their arms, saying that they did not have fats. Instead, they had firm and strong muscles.
Qiao Nan glanced at the three little toddlers. How was it possible that toddlers would have muscles? They were soft and tender. They were only slightly stronger than when they were young. However, they were so chubby that one could not feel their bones!
