“Mom, I can’t remember. Did we live here before?” Why didn’t he have any impression of this place before?

After touching the tip of Er Bao’s nose, Qiao Nan replied, “Back then, the three of you were still in my stomach. Of course, you wouldn’t remember anything. Look, this is your room.”

Qiao Nan got pregnant with the triplets in Ping Cheng but gave birth to them in the capital. It would be strange if the three children could recognize this place.

“It’s true. There’s our bed.”

Upon seeing that there was the same small bed that their house in the capital had, the three children were happy. It was definitely their house if their bed was there.

“Mom, are we staying here?” Da Bao looked around. It turned out this was their house as well.

“Yes, we are.” Qiao Nan helped the three children change their shoes. “We don’t usually live here. However, Aunt and Sister Jiajia live here.”

“Where’s Sister?” San Bao blinked. She had an impression of Jiajia. She still remembered how Sister Jiajia used to bring her around to play. She even helped her tie her hair and dress her up.

“Sister is in school. Shall I bring you to see her room?”

Zhai Hua interrupted.

“Alright.” San Bao ran to Zhai Hua and handed her chubby hand over to her so that she could hold her hand.

Da Bao and Er Bao followed up as well. At this age, Da Bao and Er Bao liked to play with older children. Sister Jiajia was older than them, knew a lot of things, and understood a lot of words. In comparison to their mom, she paled just a little. However, she was very formidable.

In the face of such a capable sister, Da Bao, Er Bao, and San Bao liked Jiajia.

San Bao ran into Jiajia’s room. “Sister’s room?”

“Yes, Sister’s room.”

“Can I stay here?”

Zhai Hua laughed. “If your Sister Jiajia was around, she can sleep with you. If no one sleeps with you, will you dare to sleep alone in a room, San Bao?”

San Bao thought for a while before quickly running to the middle of Da Bao and Er Bao. She used her action to tell her aunt that she wanted to be in the same room as her brothers.

Zhai Hua, who had long guessed this outcome, wasn’t surprised at all. “Do you want to see my room?”

Da Bao shook his head. “No need. I’m thirsty.”

“I’m thirsty too.”

“Let’s go down to have some water?”

The three children chatted among themselves and showed that they were not interested in Zhai Hua’s room at all. How were they curious about it like Jiajia’s room just now?

“The three of you…” Zhai Hua was so angry that she laughed. Did they despise her, the aunt? Wasn’t it just taking a look at her room? The three children used the excuse of wanting to drink water to leave.

There was no choice. Zhai Hua escorted the three of them downstairs and poured water for them.

At this time, Qiao Nan had already used the tools at home to boil water. It was now half cold.

“Indeed, you’re a mom. Your three children just said that they were thirsty and you already have cool water prepared here.” Zhai Hua admitted with regret that she wasn’t as good. Even if she was a mother of three like Qiao Nan, she wouldn’t have been so meticulous like her, let alone that she only had Jiajia as a child.

No wonder her mom always said that the difference between people was huge. They were both mothers. However, the difference between them caused their children to suffer differently.

What made Zhai Hua thankful was that even though she wasn’t as good a mother, Jiajia had already grown up.

Although she wasn’t as competent as Qiao Nan as a mother, hadn’t Jiajia grown up to be healthy? If she had to raise her child up like how Qiao Nan did, she probably wouldn’t know how to do it well.

“Mom.” San Bao ran toward Qiao Nan first and half-leaned against her leg. Then, she started drinking water.

After San Bao was done, it was Er Bao’s turn, then Da Bao’s. The three children queued up obediently and didn’t throw tantrums. Zhai Hua was shocked. “Nan Nan, based on your capabilities, have you considered opening a kindergarten?”

Not only did Qiao Nan know how to teach older children, but she also raised the younger children up to be so obedient.

Really, it was a blessing for them and their parents to meet a teacher like Qiao Nan.

Not to mention others, Qiao Nan had helped make Jiajia become obedient. It seemed that in Qiao Nan’s hands, a child at Jiajia’s age wouldn’t be rebellious and a child at the triplets’ age wouldn’t be cheeky.

A person like Qiao Nan was born to be a mother.

No wonder her nephews and niece were raised well. One look at their faces and it was obvious they were leading a happy life.

After feeding the three children water, Qiao Nan rolled her eyes at Zhai Hua. “We already have so many children in our family. I’m already busy with ours and you want me to raise other people’s children? Are you sure?”

If she were to raise so many children up, she wouldn’t be able to care about Jiajia’s matters anymore.

In Qiao Nan’s opinion, aside from Jiajia and the triplets, the Zhai family had quite a number of adult children. When the adult and younger children mingled, it would tire Qiao Nan.

If she were to raise other people’s children, there was no doubt that she wouldn’t be able to take care of her own.

Zhai Hua didn’t understand Qiao Nan’s subtext. However, Zhai Hua still valued Jiajia, her daughter. “That’s right. You’re not lacking money and aren’t short of things to do. You don’t have to tire yourself like this. It’s already enough for you to take care of the four people at home.”

She almost couldn’t manage her only daughter, Jiajia. How would she be able to handle four people?

As she thought about this, Zhai Hua felt that her words just now were pretty silly. She couldn’t even manage a child but wanted Qiao Nan to manage a group. Based on their Zhai family’s conditions, Qiao Nan didn’t need to work so hard at all.

Furthermore, it wasn’t as if Qiao Nan had nothing to do now.

“Oh right, where’s Zhai Sheng?” She had already brought the three children upstairs for a tour and had already been downstairs for more than ten minutes. However, she still didn’t see Zhai Sheng yet. “Did he go to visit his comrade-in-arms the moment he reached Ping Cheng?” If that was the case, don’t blame her for falling out with him.

Were all men like this?

Qiao Nan shook her head. “Sister Zhai Hua, have you thought of what to eat tonight?”

Don’t think that that barbeque meal alone could satisfy the three children.

Based on the speed that the three children were digesting their food, they would definitely cry out of hunger around eight in the evening.

“Call for takeout?” Zhai Hua said casually. Before Qiao Nan and Zhai Sheng arrived, Zhai Hua usually hired a part-time worker to cook a table full of dishes if Jiajia was at home.

If Jiajia wasn’t at home, Zhai Hua would always order takeout for convenience. As such, Zhai Hua was already used to it.

“Takeout?”
