Chapter 2456: Keeping a Close Watch (3)
“Such things are not considered far away. However, it would take at least a few years before we reach that stage. Whatever the situation of the children would be, let’s have the same att.i.tude. We won’t force them or put ourselves in a difficult spot. Nan Nan, do you think this works?”
“Yes.” Qiao Nan nodded.
Qiao Nan couldn’t agree more with the viewpoint of letting children develop themselves freely.
What happened to her as a child would remain that way. She wouldn’t have any special demands of her three children just because of her childhood experiences. If the children loved to learn just like in her dream, she would naturally raise her hands and feet in support.
However, if the children were not talented in this aspect, Qiao Nan wasn’t willing to force them. Didn’t they say that every trade has its master?
It was most important that their children liked what they were doing.
Qiao Nan strongly believed that their children wouldn’t be led astray.
As long as this was confirmed, Qiao Nan wouldn’t have any strong demands on their three children’s future development plans.
“Mom, wake up. It’s time to go to school.”
The next day, it wasn’t Qiao Nan who asked the three children to wake up. It was the three children who asked Qiao Nan, who had similarly not rested well the previous night, to wake up. “Mom, send us to school. School.”
They had promised to let their grandma send them to school yesterday. However, after one night, the three children changed their minds and insisted that their mom sent them to school as well. Otherwise, they would be unhappy.
As she rubbed her aching waist, Qiao Nan opened her eyes with great difficulty. “Don’t be noisy. Let me wash my face and I’ll send you to school, alright?”
“Yes. Mom, hurry up.”
After waking their mom up, San Bao immediately ran out to find her grandma for breakfast.
Qiao Nan yawned. In order to refresh herself, she washed her face with cold water. Only then did her confused mind become clearer.
When Qiao Nan came downstairs, Miao Jing had already finished feeding the three children breakfast.
Miao Jing was both angry and amused. “Nan Nan, Zhai Sheng’s stubborn. Our three babies have the exact same temper as their father. You don’t even indulge in these three children. Don’t be too softhearted when it comes to Zhai Sheng.”
She knew that Zhai Sheng slept late the night he got married to Qiao Nan.
What Miao Jing didn’t expect was that although his son was no longer young, his mental and physical strength didn’t pale in comparison at all. He was like a young lad in his twenties and was too impulsive.
As a mother and mother-in-law, it wasn’t good for her to interfere in this matter.
It was just that seeing her son being a hooligan, Miao Jing felt heartache that Qiao Nan was ‘suffering’. Zhai Sheng had the stamina, but he had to consider if Qiao Nan could bear his energetic self.
Qiao Nan blushed and didn’t want to say anything else.
She couldn’t possibly say to her mother-in-law, “How would you not know how your son is like?”
How was it that the children had the same temper as their father? The father definitely had a stronger temper.
If the three children had anything, as long as Qiao Nan persuaded and coaxed them well, they would listen to Qiao Nan’s words and not create trouble for her, causing her a headache.
However, if the same situation were to happen to Zhai Sheng, it would be a totally different matter.
It was unknown if he had held it back for too long. In front of others, Zhai Sheng seemed to be someone easy to discuss matters with and listened to his wife’s words well. However, in bed, there was no room for negotiation. He didn’t listen to anything Qiao Nan said.
What Qiao Nan couldn’t understand was that her physical strength shouldn’t be as good.
For some reason, although her performance wasn’t as expressive as Zhai Sheng’s, it wasn’t particularly weak either. Qiao Nan couldn’t help but doubt if her performance in bed was getting better.
When she just got married to Zhai Sheng, she would feel faint within an hour.
Seeing that her daughter-in-law looked confused, Miao Jing held it back. In the end, she decided not to tell the truth to Qiao Nan, lest she became shy after finding out.
Qiao Nan always knew that the status of the Zhai family was extraordinary. However, she didn’t have any specific feelings about it.
Qiao Nan didn’t, but it didn’t mean that the other members of the Zhai family didn’t.
There were doctors in the country who would perform health checks on Zhai Yaohui, Miao Jing, and Zhai Sheng once in a while. They were also not stingy and would send some useful medical prescriptions for health preservation to the Zhai family.
After Qiao Nan married Zhai Sheng, he placed a lot of importance on this.
He knew that Qiao Nan didn’t lead a good life in the Qiao family and her body was extraordinarily weak. After marriage, before Qiao Nan gave birth and after giving birth, Zhai Sheng specially got an expert to prepare a menu and recipe for Qiao Nan.
It was also because Qiao Nan was easy to feed and wasn’t picky. Sometimes, when she ate something strange which had some medicine in it, Qiao Nan never said another word as long as it didn’t taste too different. She would eat whatever the auntie prepared.
Qiao Nan had never doubted the tonic soups that the auntie brewed for her. She thought that everyone in the family had the same soup and was very cooperative in drinking them up.
After four years of conditioning, especially after Qiao Nan gave birth to the triplets and did forty days of confinement, she was taken care of too well. She didn’t know the changes to her body for the past four years, but Zhai Sheng did.
Zhai Sheng would still consider Qiao Nan’s actual situation before proceeding with their husband-wife life each night.
That national doctor was also a man. After knowing Zhai Sheng’s and Qiao Nan’s situation, he understood what Zhai Sheng needed and would write the menu and recipe carefully and seriously.
Sigh…
Aside from Qiao Nan, who was unaware of these circ.u.mstances, everyone else in the family did. Even the auntie who worked for the Zhai family knew about it.
She was afraid of agitating Qiao Nan. They had already kept this from her for four years. Would Miao Jing expose her son at this moment? It was impossible.
One would feel heartache over one’s child. Miao Jing, who was a little guilty, hurriedly s.h.i.+fted the topic that she had initiated and secretly scolded herself. “Nan Nan, are you hungry? Eat more. I’ve already fed the three children. Let’s send them to school after you’ve finished eating.”
“Yes.” Qiao Nan was really hungry. Even if Miao Jing didn’t mention it, Qiao Nan wasn’t preparing to ill-treat herself. She was going to eat back the energy that she had lost yesterday.
“Mom, Mom…”
Er Bao was in a hurry to go to school but didn’t want to urge Qiao Nan to eat faster. The anxious Er Bao could only surround Qiao Nan and kept calling her. Qiao Nan had no choice but to speed up her rate of eating.
“Really, you are all my ancestors…”
The older one was like this, and so was the younger one. Qiao Nan suddenly had a feeling that she would never be able to escape the palms of these four people in this lifetime. They were going to keep a close watch on her.
