Chapter 2423: Returning to Ping Cheng (1)
“…”
“…”
Qiao Nan and Zhai Sheng immediately became speechless. Safe? How was that the case?
The triplets were still young. Based on their current ages, it was better for them to sit on child car seats.
The problem was that when Zhai Hua gave birth to Jiajia, child car seats had not been designed yet.
Furthermore, Zhai Hua was a scatterbrain and wasn’t as meticulous as Jiajia. Only Zhai Hua knew that the triplets had returned to Ping Cheng with their parents. Jiajia didn’t.
As such, the careless Zhai Hua only thought about picking them up from the airport. How would she, who didn’t have any young children at home, think of the child car seats?
If the couple didn’t understand what kind of person Zhai Hua was, they would have thought that Zhai Hua was saying these words deliberately.
There was a person who knew how his biological sister was like and another whose understanding of her sister-in-law wasn’t shallow. As such, the couple didn’t take Zhai Hua’s careless performance to heart and wasn’t calculative.
“There are a lot of vehicles going back and forth on this road. Brother Zhai wouldn’t drive too quickly. It’s better for me to carry San Bao. San Bao, do you want me to carry you?”
San Bao hurriedly stretched out her hand. “Yes…”
She loved her mom carrying her.
San Bao understood at times that Da Bao and Er Bao often gave in to her as she was a girl. Actually, they were the same as her. They loved to be carried by their mom.
“Sister Zhai Hua, you’ll sit in the middle and take care of Da Bao and Er Bao. Da Bao, Er Bao, you have to be obedient and sit tight.”
She really couldn’t trust her sister-in-law, Zhai Hua. Qiao Nan could only get the three children to work harder. If their aunt wasn’t reliable, they had to be reliable.
“Yes.”
“Mom, I’m obedient.”
Even though they weren’t carried by their mom, Da Bao and Er Bao were still very obedient. Not only did they not throw tantrums, but they even listened to whatever Qiao Nan said.
Zhai Hua compared the three children’s performance with her daughter, who was in the second year of high school. She sighed and said, “I wonder if the three children would become rebellious and disobedient like their Sister Jiajia when they grow up.”
When Jiajia was young, she was as cute as the triplets. However, when she grew up, she became rebellious.
Zhai Sheng and Qiao Nan looked at each other tacitly. With a mom like Zhai Hua, it was already good that Jiajia grew up to be like this today. Zhai Hua shouldn’t have so many demands and high expectations of Jiajia.
No matter how unreliable Jiajia was, that was inherited from Zhai Hua.
There was nothing wrong with the saying that whatever type of mother would have whatever type of daughter.
“Mom, is there anything good to eat here?” After getting off the plane, they had been sitting in the car for more than half an hour. San Bao expressed that she was hungry and her stomach couldn’t hold it back any longer as it started growling.
Da Bao and Er Bao also revealed looks of gluttony. They looked like puppies that smelled meat and were only short of drooling to show Qiao Nan how hungry they were now.
“You’re that hungry?” Zhai Hua couldn’t help but feel aggrieved for them. Along the way, the three children were chatting with her obediently and didn’t complain that they were hungry.
If San Bao didn’t mention it, she wouldn’t have noticed this situation.
“San Bao, shall we go to this restaurant?” Knowing the children’s habits, Qiao Nan held San Bao’s hand and asked her as they stood in front of a barbeque shop.
Upon seeing pictures of fragrant meat at the shop, San Bao swallowed her saliva. “How fragrant.”
Alright. There wasn’t a need to select further. This restaurant would be it.
One of the advantages of barbequed meat was that they had to be eaten while wrapped in fresh lettuce. San Bao usually didn’t like to eat vegetables. However, at this time, San Bao didn’t reject meat that was wrapped with vegetables.
Afraid that the three children’s stomachs couldn’t take it, Qiao Nan didn’t dare to give them fresh lettuce directly. She always put them on the grill and only picked them up to wrap with meat when they were cooked and a little crunchy. Then, she fed the three children.
When it came to taking care of children, Zhai Hua and Zhai Sheng were naturally less experienced than Qiao Nan.
Upon seeing how Qiao Nan took care of the three children, Zhai Hua and Zhai Sheng each took charge of a child and filled their stomachs first.
There was no choice. As parents, the first bite of food was destined not to enter their mouths.
Thankfully, the three children were well-educated by Qiao Nan. After being half-full, they started to let the adults eat as well so that they wouldn’t go hungry.
The full children had satisfied looks, which made people like them. “Aren’t the three children in our family too easily satisfied? How can they be so happy after having a barbeque meal?”
She was about to suspect if Zhai Sheng and Qiao Nan abused the three children behind their backs when they were in the capital.
After being used to children who were difficult to coax, she looked again at the triplets who were so happy after a meal of meat. Zhai Hua felt heartache. Her nephews and niece were so easy to coax and manage.
In this way, Zhai Sheng and Qiao Nan didn’t have to worry about them so much. Indeed, other people’s children performed better.
Thankfully, she was these three children’s aunt.
Zhai Hua didn’t understand the children’s expression. As their parents, Qiao Nan and Zhai Sheng naturally understood.
There were quite a number of adults taking care of the three children at home. To be honest, the three children had little opportunity to eat outside food. The elders in the family were worried that outside food was unclean, not nutritious, or loaded with MSG.
To the three children, the experience of eating outside food was rare to come by, if at all.
No matter what, she had given birth to the three children herself. Since Zhai Hua felt that they were obedient, Qiao Nan wasn’t going to expose them. “They like to eat meat. As long as it’s meat, they would always reveal such expressions.”
What Qiao Nan said was true.
Perhaps quite a number of children were like this, where their preference for meat reached a certain level. Vegetables were the opposite of meat. Children would welcome meat as much as they rejected vegetables.
Jiajia was already grown up. Zhai Hua couldn’t remember clearly how Jiajia was like when she was two years old. “I’ve already gotten someone to clean the rooms. Stay for a night at home first. Talk about other matters only tomorrow. Nan Nan, you shouldn’t need this one day for your matter, right?”
“Yes, I don’t need it.”
Qiao Nan had long planned this before returning. Since they were back, they had to make a trip to the Zhai family’s house in Ping Cheng and let the three children recognize this family. Whether they remembered this or not could be talked about later.
Undoubtedly, in the face of the Zhai family’s big house, the three children found it extremely novel. “Mom, where is this?”
“This is our house as well. This was where we used to live.”
“…” Er Bao tried to think hard.
