Chapter 1183 It Had Been Hard on Your Wife

“Is Er Bao asleep?” Zhai Hua breathed a sigh of relief. “Among the triplets, Er Bao cries the most. He is just a kid. Why does he have such a bad temper? It takes such a long time to pacify him. Whenever he cries, I feel like crying as well.”

Er Bao cried easily and it was very difficult to get him to calm down.

Da Bao would only utter a few sounds and he seldom cried. There was no need to coax him. Among the triplets, he was the easiest to handle.

As a girl, San Bao was impatient. She would cry if she was unhappy, but she would calm down easily.

Er Bao was the only person that Miao Jing and Zhai Hua were scared of.

When Er Bao behaved himself and immersed himself in observing the surroundings around him, or when he was sleeping, he was an adorable and lovable angel.

But once he woke up and cried uncontrollably, he was just like the devil. Nobody wanted to go near him.

It was a pack of lies to say that young babies could not recognize faces.

Other people would take a lot of time to pacify Er Bao. They would be up to a lot of tricks, but he would not stop crying.

But whenever his mother held him in her arms and coaxed him, she did not need to perform any special tricks or feed him, but he was able to calm down after a few minutes.

Qiao Nan placed Er Bao in the baby crib. San Bao was still sleeping soundly. As for Da Bao, he moved his head and sniffed, behaving like animals that scavenged for food through sniffing. His actions were similar to Er Bao when he was searching for milk previously. Qiao Nan carried Da Bao and fed him.

She smoothed his hair as she fed him. “You still have the cheek to say that. You know that Er Bao has a temper. Why did you provoke him?”

Even if she did not come back home today, there was milk in the refrigerator.

Once they heated the milk and fed Er Bao, he would stop crying.

Needless to say, Er Bao cried today because her mother-in-law and sister-in-law handed Er Bao to Brother Zhai.

Brother Zhai was a first-time father. He could not possibly know how to carry a baby. That was why he had upset Er Bao with his clumsiness.

Zhai Hua raised her hand. She had nothing to do with today’s incident.

She was a woman, but she needed to spend a lot of time to learn the correct way to carry the triplets. She would not give the most difficult task of carrying Er Bao to Zhai Sheng, who was a clumsy man.

Miao Jing had a guilty smile on her face. “Zhai Sheng is their father. He has to learn how to coax his children. He has to understand and know their temper.”

“...” Therefore, her mother-in-law decided to start from the baby who had the worst temper?

Upon hearing the conversation between his mother and wife, Zhai Sheng understood that his mother and his son had made things difficult for him deliberately. “Nan Nan, it’s hard on you to take care of three children at one go.”

Zhai Sheng used to think that he would not get married anytime soon and it would be ages before he was a father.

Perhaps he would start to think of marriage when he was thirty years old.

He did not expect that he would be a father of three when he just turned twenty-six years old.

Qiao Nan blushed when Zhai Sheng reached his hands toward her. She adjusted her clothes and passed Da Bao to Zhai Sheng. “Of course not. Mom, Sister Zhai Hua, and the auntie have been helping me take care of the triplets. Even if I possess remarkable abilities, I will not be able to take care of them by myself. It is hard on them as well.” After feeding her sons, she moved to feed her daughter.

The triplets would feel hungry at around the same time. Qiao Nan did not have a specific rule as to who to feed first.

As long as Er Bao did not make a din like today, Qiao Nan would usually rotate the baby that she fed first.

“It had been hard on everyone.” Zhai Sheng was surprised that his daughter seemed to be in a hurry to drink the milk. He reached his hand to hook his daughter’s fingers that were cradling Qiao Nan’s chest.

His daughter’s tiny hands felt extremely tender and smooth. He dared not exert any force and hooked her fingers lightly.

On the contrary, as soon as she felt that there was something in her palms, she had a tight grip on it.

There was a glitter in Zhai Sheng’s eyes. It was as if he had discovered something new. “San Bao’s grip is very strong.” She was only two months old. Why did she have such a strong grip?

“You are so foolish. Besides San Bao, Da Bao and Er Bao have a strong grip as well. Mom said that babies like to clench their fists and make a tight grip.”

Zhai Hua, who was a first-time auntie, also had a lot of burning questions in mind when she started to take care of her nephews and niece. She had pestered her mother throughout the two months to answer her questions.

Zhai Hua had learned a lot about how to take care of babies. She was able to act as Zhai Sheng’s teacher and answer his questions.

Miao Jing, who had fun watching them, drank some water. “Nan Nan, you are just back from school. Are you hungry? The soup is ready. Do you want to have a bowl of soup before your meal?”

Hua Hua was very right about one thing. Zhai Sheng was indeed a foolish father.

“Alright.” Qiao Nan nodded. She had lessons for the entire morning and she had not had any food. After feeding the triplets, she felt hungry as well.

She took the bowl of crucian carp soup that the auntie prepared and finished it in one go.

Zhai Sheng knitted his brows. “Are you that hungry? No matter how hungry you are, you should not be in a hurry to have your food. It will lead to indigestion.” If Nan Nan was hungry at school, she should have bought some food to eat.

“She’d better not do that.” Zhai Hua waved her hand. “Nan Nan has to finish such soup in one go. If she takes her time to drink it, I am not sure whether it will be better for her digestion, but it will definitely hurt her throat.”

Zhai Hua noticed that Qiao Nan would always finish the tonics in one go. Zhai Hua could not help but suspect that the auntie had prepared very sumptuous confinement meals for Qiao Nan.

Qiao Nan had been taking such food for more than a month. If the food did not taste good, Qiao Nan would have displayed her displeasure and reluctance.

Therefore, Zhai Hua did a very foolish deed a week ago.

She dared not ask Qiao Nan to share the soup with her. If so, she would be fighting for food with her sister-in-law who was breastfeeding.

Even though she could not ask to have the soup openly, she could have it secretly.

Therefore, Zhai Hua hid it from everyone and tasted Qiao Nan’s soup out of curiosity.

A slight taste of it and Zhai Hua understood why it was so ‘overwhelming’.

One would feel happy if one had delicious food.

But if one had disgusting food, one would indeed be ‘overwhelmed’!

Zhai Hua was puzzled. The soup was not sweet or salty. It was fishy and oily. It was not tasty at all. Why did Qiao Nan seem as if she was savoring delicious food whenever she drank the soup? It was because of her that she was intrigued and ended up in a misunderstanding.
