Chapter 1195 - Feeding Solids

Chapter 1195 Feeding Solids

“don’t be in a hurry to decline. it’s a gamble. even deities couldn’t tell the number of jade in the stone accurately. i was just buying a small item. perhaps there’s nothing in it and it’s just a piece of rock. don’t mind it so much.”

if he had lost in the gamble and really gifted a piece of white stone, no matter how much he had spent on it, it could not be constituted as bribery.

that person’s attitude was very firm and someone had also carried the stone up.

when he was young, elder lin did not lack money. he also disliked taking advantage of others. in fact, when he heard others introducing the stones, he was optimistic about that stone and thus took a few more glances at it.

anyway, he was not lacking in money and also did not like to take advantage of others. in the end, elder lin accepted this piece of stone. however, he did not spend a single cent from the other party. elder lin forked out the capital of 50,000 yuan on his own.

in the 1990s, it was very spectacular to be able to afford 50,000 yuan.

building two houses would only cost about 20,000 to 30,000 yuan. elder lin simply used the money that typical folks could use to build two houses to buy a piece of stone.

elder lin’s luck was also good. he casually bought a piece of stone and got someone to open it on the spot. who knows? he actually earned a lot with one gamble. it was the rare glass species.

if it was the emerald green imperial jade, elder lin’s luck would be defying the heaven then.

although this piece of jade was not the emerald green imperial jade, elder lin was still the biggest winner among the gamblers on that day.

after getting this piece of jade, elder lin did not sell it as he did not lack the money. instead, he found ways to hire a master with good engraving skills to carve out various pieces of jade and turned them into finished products.

besides these three pieces of jade, elder lin also had rings and bracelets made from that jade in his house.

the most valuable part of the jade would be the center part of it which was beige in color. the master simply carved out a jade longevity peach from it. that longevity peach was the most valuable piece of item.

in comparison with the longevity peach, the three pieces of jade and the bracelets and rings were all considered ‘side dishes’.

due to this jade gamble, elder lin’s wealth grew. those who were aware had publicized this for elder lin. those who were unaware just took it that this was an unfounded rumor and the truth was not as such.

today was the first time that elder lin showed the jade to outsiders. zhai hua was very sensitive and she confirmed that this was the truth and not a rumor.

“little girl, are you good at gambling? you have heard of this before?” elder lin did not deny the existence of this matter. he even admitted it graciously.

zhai hua gave a helpless smile. “i’m a good gambler? aren’t you one who is truly good at gambling? it has been so many years. elder lin, you can really hide things well.” she had initially thought that if elder lin had such good things, he would definitely not be able to endure it during nan nan’s wedding and would insist on giving nan nan something.

to her surprise, elder lin did not give qiao nan any jade on the day the latter married zhai sheng. on the contrary, elder lin took action when the three babies were four months old and showed the items to others. “the three babies are really fortunate.”

when she said this, zhai hua was full of gloat as she looked at qiao nan.

obviously, in elder lin’s heart, the status of the three babies had surpassed that of qiao nan, this little disciple.

after rubbing er bao’s back, qiao nan discovered that er bao, who had kicked up a fuss for some time, did not perspire much. she then felt more at ease. “sister zhai hua, why do you keep staring at me?” so what if she had been surpassed? before the three babies were born, she was already mentally prepared to be slapped dead on the beach by them.

“nothing.” since qiao nan was not willing to take the bait, zhai hua did not have a way either. “is it time to feed the three babies solid food now?”

“yes, it’s almost time.” qiao nan looked at the time and nodded.

as soon as he heard that it was feeding time for his grand disciples, elder lin was worked up. “let me feed san bao!”

“sure, no one is fighting with you.” zhai hua nodded. she then went into the kitchen and took out the three babies’ solid food today.

when the three babies were four months old, they started to grow teeth. little white dots started to appear on their pinkish gums.

as soon as they saw the three babies teething, the women in the zhai family discussed what kind of solid food to prepare to aid the three babies’ growth.

the staple food for the three babies was still breast milk. however, this situation was going to change very soon.

the three babies were growing up gradually and their appetite followed suit. qiao nan could barely fill the tummies of two children, let alone three.

nowadays, qiao nan’s breast milk was only enough to make them sixty to seventy percent full. she would then get the family to supplement them with formula milk.

at the rate this was going, qiao nan would most probably not be able to make them half full when they were five months old. she might as well wean them off breast milk when they were six months old and let them drink formula milk.

“be good, san bao. master grandpa will feed you something nice.” elder lin was a refined and cultured old man. he shrank his body and squatted in front of san bao. while holding a pink flowery bowl, he drew imaginary butterflies with a little spoon in his other hand in an interesting and childlike manner. spoon by spoon, he was very meticulous and patient as he fed san bao.

san bao’s appetite was good and she was not picky.

qiao nan’s breast milk could not completely satisfy the three babies. when they were first fed formula milk, they kicked up a little fuss and refused to cooperate. besides that, they were very receptive when solid foods were introduced to them.

“ah.” san bao could recognize that this was the little bowl that belonged to her. when the little spoon came before her face, she opened her tiny mouth widely and even made ‘ah’ sounds like a bird as she waited to eat.

when the little spoon entered her mouth, san bao closed her mouth tightly to push all the food in the spoon into her mouth. she was deliciously enjoying her meal.“so obedient.” san bao was very enthusiastic about taking solids. she did not need anyone to coax her. elder lin was afraid that he was feeding her too quickly and would choke her. he wanted to wait for san bao to finish swallowing the food in her mouth before feeding her again. however, the impatient san bao opened her mouth a step earlier and patted elder lin’s palms to urge the latter to increase his speed.

it was not just san bao. it was the same for da bao and er bao. their appetites were too good. they would eat whatever was given to them and seemed to enjoy the food very much. they were also hungry often and could take a few meals a day.

when they pushed the three babies out the last time, the neighbors exclaimed that it was strange. when they saw the triplets during their full-month celebration, it was obvious that they were much thinner than other babies who were one month old.

only three months had passed and the triplets had grown so big. that fleshy and chubby look was no different from four-month-old children of other families. they were growing very well.

their round eyes were swirling and their little arms and legs were kicking hard. they looked so adorable.

it was all because of their great appetites that the three babies grew so well.

“be good, da bao. when you are full, you’ve eaten enough.”
