Chapter 2382: An Excellent Mother (2)
On the surface, Qiao Dongliang didn’t have any reaction. Qiao Nan didn’t care what Qiao Dongliang’s thoughts were. She just wanted to share Ding Jiayi’s and Qiao Zijin’s recent situations with him.
“I think your current arrangement is good. They should trouble others less in the future.” Their daily lives would be exciting if they created trouble for each other. Although this method wasn’t the best, those who understood Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin couldn’t help but admit that this method was effective. If they didn’t create trouble for each other, they would create trouble for others.
Unfortunately, Qiao Nan was their best choice. Qiao Dongliang was their second-best candidate after Qiao Nan. As a human being, who wouldn’t be selfish? It was better for others to be unlucky than oneself. It wasn’t easy for him to finally lead more than a month of peaceful life. Qiao Dongliang really didn’t want to return to that kind of ‘exciting’ life that made his brain hurt.
“Are the triplets well recently?” If there was a chance, Qiao Dongliang wanted to go to the capital to visit his three grandchildren. The days in the Qiao family’s courtyard were too noisy. After moving away, Qiao Dongliang felt that it was too cold. At this time, he couldn’t help but think that his life would be happier if there was a child next to him.
“Pretty good. Hold on.” Qiao Nan sent a bunch of photos of the triplets’ recent lives to Qiao Dongliang.
Qiao Dongliang was full of surprise. “The triplets know how to crawl already?” Those small arms and legs looked particularly strong. Most importantly, the smiles on the children’s faces let Qiao Dongliang know that they were well taken care of and were leading happy lives. Unlike…
“They aren’t very nimble yet, but they don’t need anyone to carry them now. After learning how to crawl, they don’t like to be carried by others. Unless it’s urgent, they’d rather wriggle slowly like insects.” Qiao Nan had to take her hat off to the triplets’ temper. She wasn’t sure if they had inherited this from her or Zhai Sheng.
Every time they saw the triplets crawling forward with their chubby legs, they didn’t feel anything. However, those watching by the side were anxious. Even Zhai Yaohui, the stable grandpa, couldn’t help but push Da Bao’s chubby buttocks once to help him advance more than ten centimeters.
To this, not only was Da Bao unhappy, but he even pouted and looked at his grandpa with resentment, as if asking him why he was disturbing his learning to crawl. Zhai Yaohui couldn’t help but touch his nose out of guilt.
There was no choice. When Zhai Hua and Zhai Sheng were as young as the triplets, he and Miao Jing didn’t stay by their sides. Zhai Yaohui didn’t know how his daughter and son were like when they were young. Furthermore, elders would feel completely different when facing their children compared to their grandchildren.
Zhai Yaohui didn’t give Zhai Sheng any special help as he was growing up. In the face of the triplets, Zhai Yaohui couldn’t bear to be hard-hearted. He was like the rest of the grandpas from other families, doting on his grandchildren and constantly refreshing his lower limits.
How were the children spoiled? Just like this!
As he listened to Qiao Nan’s description, Qiao Dongliang felt like he had witnessed the three children crawling before him. “That’s good. Your in-laws are good. You are good as well, thus the three children are brought up well. If there’s a chance next time, I’ll go to the capital to visit them.”
“…” Qiao Nan hesitated for a while. “Dad, there’s no need to. During the mid-autumn festival, we will return to Qingshui Town and pay respect to the Zhai family’s elders.” It was only June now. The mid-autumn festival was three to four months away. Qiao Nan wasn’t sure what Qiao Dongliang meant by ‘next time’.
She felt that since their family would be returning to Qingshui Town, her dad didn’t need to run about.
If not for the triplets being young and them being far away, Zhai Sheng would have long brought the three children back to Qingshui Town to the Zhai family’s old villa so that Old Master Zhai and his wife could ‘see’ the fourth-generation children of their family. When Old Master Zhai left, the unmarried Zhai Sheng and married Zhai Hua were his major heartaches.
Thankfully, after Zhai Sheng met Qiao Nan, Zhai Sheng and Zhai Hua both produced good results for Old Master Zhai and his wife, although they were a little late. Qiao Nan usually took a bunch of photos of the three children. Zhai Sheng would print them out, make them into a photo album, and place it at the Zhai family’s old villa.
Qiao Dongliang was pretty happy when he heard the news. “That works too. I’ll wait for you to come over to Qingshui Town during the mid-autumn festival. By then, the triplets would be one year old. Their bones would have been stronger. Most importantly, the weather wouldn’t be so hot then. It will be much cooler and they wouldn’t be badly scorched by the heat. I’ll wait for you to come over. We can celebrate the mid-autumn festival together.”
The mid-autumn festival was the most significant day in China for a family to be reunited. Qiao Dongliang felt that it would be more meaningful if he had the opportunity to meet his three grandchildren then. After knowing that the Zhai family had such an itinerary, Qiao Dongliang’s heart felt comfortable. “Nan Nan, aren’t you studying recently? How is it?”
“I’m having my examinations the day after tomorrow. I’ll graduate after getting the results.” Qiao Nan didn’t expect that after giving birth, she would be graduating in the blink of an eye. Of course, when it came to certificates and educational qualifications, there wasn’t a need for Qiao Nan to compare them with her dream. As for her job, she didn’t even need to think about it.
What was different was that as a woman who was over forty years old whose children were not yet one year old, Qiao Nan was much less career-minded than in her dream. Rather than struggling with her career achievements, Qiao Nan would rather spend more time on her three children. It wasn’t easy to bring up a child well. Furthermore, she needed to nurture her triplets at the same time.
Thankfully, in this aspect, the Zhai family didn’t have any demands of Qiao Nan. They felt that it was pretty good that Qiao Nan was willing to stay at home and take care of the children. That was part of her career as well. It was better for the children to be brought up by their biological mother. Zhai Yaohui and Miao Jing didn’t feel that Qiao Nan’s low educational qualifications would delay the triplets’ growth and development.
Only the Zhai family knew that although Qiao Nan didn’t have high educational qualifications, it didn’t mean that she wasn’t capable. When they occasionally heard Qiao Nan speaking English by chance, they truly felt that she was no different from the newscaster of the state-owned television international news channel.
Based on this, Zhai Yaohui and Miao Jing were not worried that their grandchildren wouldn’t be able to learn English well in the future at all. Under the nurturing of Qiao Nan, their biological mother, the triplets’ English might even stun all the neighbors in the future.
