Rebirth to a Military Marriage: Good Morning Chief

Chapter 2425: Returning to Ping Cheng (3)

The foodie San Bao’s eyes shone. She nearly wanted to bite her fingers. However, upon thinking that her mom said that she couldn’t bite her fingers, she immediately put them down when they just reached her mouth. “Mom, is it nice?” That thing called takeout.

“…”

Qiao Nan was pretty convinced of her daughter’s gluttony. “It isn’t nice at all. If it was, I would have long let the three of you try it.”

San Bao looked at Zhai Hua. “Aunt ate it.”

She would try not to eat food that wasn’t delicious unless her mom forced her.

Her aunt was already an adult. Could it be that she wasn’t as sensible as her and didn’t know that she shouldn’t eat food that wasn’t delicious?

Qiao Nan laughed. “Your aunt’s lazy. She’d rather eat food that wasn’t delicious than prepare her own meals.”

San Bao stared at Zhai Hua accusingly. “Aunt, nice food.” Forget it that her aunt didn’t want to eat delicious food. She had to give her delicious food. If not, she would cry.

Da Bao and Er Bao stood next to San Bao and silently supported her, expressing that they wanted to eat delicious food as well.

Their aunt was too stupid to always eat food that wasn’t delicious. She wasn’t as smart as the three of them.

Zhai Hua nearly laughed until she cried. What should she do? Her IQ was despised by her nephews and niece. “So, if you aren’t letting me order takeout, are you going to let Zhai Sheng prepare dinner tonight?”

Zhai Hua could understand why Qiao Nan didn’t let the three children eat take-out food.

They were both mothers. Otherwise, Zhai Hua wouldn’t have deliberately found someone to prepare a table full of dishes for Jiajia when she was at home.

She was too overjoyed today and had forgotten that she couldn’t continue to order takeout as the three children were here.

If her mom knew that she had treated the three children to some takeout, she could chase her all the way here to Ping Cheng.

With grandchildren, her daughter and son became invaluable.

“Brother Zhai went to the market to buy fresh vegetables. They probably can’t compare to the ones sold in the morning, but they’ll be better than ordering takeout.” Qiao Nan had long considered this point. Of course, it was impossible for Qiao Nan to get Zhai Sheng to prepare this meal.

The three children despised the food that Zhai Sheng prepared. The first time they ate it, they were still willing to give him some face. From the second time onward, they started to turn their heads and were unwilling to eat it.

Zhai Sheng’s cooking couldn’t make it and Zhai Hua didn’t know how to cook. Of course, this meal would naturally have to be prepared by Qiao Nan.

Zhai Hua slumped comfortably on the sofa. “It’s such a nice feeling to have someone cook in the family.” She could even save on the call to hire part-time workers. “Oh right, how long will you be staying in Ping Cheng?”

This was related to how long she could enjoy home-cooked food. Also, once Jiajia came home from school, she would definitely be elated to see her younger siblings here. This could be a surprise for Jiajia.

“Based on the current situation, probably a week.” Before Qiao Nan arrived, the team that she formed had already done some of the inspection works and handed her the results.

Qiao Nan made a personal trip here just to verify the facts.

“A week… It’s a little short, but that’s not bad. Coincidentally, Jiajia’s coming back this weekend.” Zhai Hua calculated with her fingers and was still satisfied with this answer.

If it were next week, Zhai Hua could imagine how Jiajia would throw tantrums at her upon knowing that the three children had returned to their home in Ping Cheng but she wasn’t given the opportunity to interact with them.

It was really her ‘blessing’ to have given birth to such a bad-tempered daughter.

While Qiao Nan was chatting with Zhai Hua, the three children ran around the house as if they were explorers.

The three children realized that the house was big. Compared to the other house, there was more space for them to run around here. What made the three children happy was that there was a grass patch outside the house. It was their own grass patch, not the one in the park.

“Dad!”

Er Bao, who almost wanted to roll around on the grass patch, saw Zhai Sheng return from buying vegetables. He rushed over happily and said, “Grass patch. Roll around.”

Zhai Sheng’s hands were full and he didn’t have an extra hand to carry his son. “Be obedient. We won’t roll around today. Where’s Mom?”

Er Bao pointed to the house, expressing that his mom was in the house chatting with his aunt while the three of them were playing here.

When Zhai Sheng went to buy vegetables, he remembered to lock the door before leaving. As such, the three children could only play at home and not run out.

Zhai Hua and Qiao Nan knew this point very clearly. Thus, they let the three children run around happily.

“Dad’s going to bring the vegetables in. Are you going to enter the house with me or continue playing outside?”

Er Bao hurriedly ran away from Zhai Sheng and ran toward Da Bao and San Bao.

It was obvious that the three children were more interested in the yard outside the house. They resisted plucking the grass and flowers. However, it was still alright to touch them.

After knowing the three children’s attitudes, Zhai Sheng locked the door once again. After knowing that they couldn’t run outside, he brought the vegetables in and placed them in the refrigerator.

Thankfully, Zhai Hua was never the kind of woman who stayed at home. Such a huge refrigerator was empty.

No matter how many vegetables Zhai Sheng bought, there was still more than enough space in the double-door refrigerator for him to use freely.

However, Zhai Sheng couldn’t help but criticize Zhai Hua because of this situation. “It has been tough on Jiajia to follow a mom like you.”

Zhai Sheng suspected how Zhai Hua had lived in those ten over years when she hadn’t gotten a divorce from Wei De.

How did Zhai Hua survive when there wasn’t takeout in the past? She couldn’t possibly let Jiajia prepare her own meals, right?

Zhai Hua smiled and didn’t explain too clearly.

Zhai Hua had a relatively wilder character. It wasn’t that she liked to play around, but she was manlier. She liked to stay in the army and do what men did. Under normal circumstances, Zhai Hua wasn’t interested in what women did and might even despise it.

Zhai Hua couldn’t remember how many things she had done that she didn’t like and how many times she had given up things that she liked after marrying Wei De.

Zhai Hua’s culinary skills were really nothing. Thankfully, Jiajia was sensible and obedient. She was never picky and wouldn’t feel resentful. Coupled with the fact that Wei De wasn’t home, Jiajia would eat whatever Zhai Hua prepared.

It was different now. After getting a divorce from Wei De, Zhai Hua could be said to be liberated. She no longer needed to do things that she didn’t like.

Zhai Hua really hated preparing meals, and she hated going into the kitchen even more.

The Zhai family’s house was built a long time ago, and it wasn’t convenient to demolish anything. Otherwise, Zhai Hua would have ideas about the kitchen.
