Chapter 1334 Sharing the ‘Treasures’
After giving Qiao Nan a kiss on the face, San Bao obediently lay beside Qiao Nan. Without the need for anyone to coax her, she knew that it was late and it was time to sleep.
Knowing that the triplets had the habit of having goodnight kiss but Qiao Nan had fallen asleep due to fatigue, Zhai Sheng simply held Da Bao and Er Bao in the air and satisfied them by letting them kiss Qiao Nan’s face before swiftly tucking them back into the blanket.
Qiao Nan and the triplets had occupied almost the entire bed, leaving behind only a small space for Zhai Sheng.
Given Zhai Sheng’s size, it was not so comfortable to sleep on his back.
Fortunately, such a space was also enough for Zhai Sheng. He did not sleep on his back. Instead, he chose to sleep on his side. This was the only position that he could conveniently and completely embrace Qiao Nan in his arms.
Qiao Nan, who had been sleeping, could seemingly feel the assuring and warm embrace from Zhai Sheng. At this moment, her closely knitted brows looked more relaxed. In addition, the body of San Bao, who felt as warm and cozy as a small stove, made Qiao Nan sleep more peacefully.
Hugging his nice-smelling wife, Zhai Sheng glanced at his three children, who had already shut their eyes. They did not kick up a fuss, make noise, or chase him off the bed. Zhai Sheng then turned off the lights in the bedroom. He guarded his wife and three children as all of them slept together.
After a night of rest, Qiao Nan looked like she was in slightly better spirits on the next day.
As soon as Qiao Nan went downstairs, she heard two pieces of news.
First, the Qiao family of three had gone home.
Second, Zhai Sheng was the one who sent them off.
Holding the small bowl and feeding porridge to Da Bao, Qiao Nan was very surprised to hear the news. “They had gone home just like that?” She had thought that this year, the three of them would spend their Lunar New Year in the capital before going back.
She could tell that her father liked the triplets very much. This time, behind everyone’s back, her father gave the triplets huge red packets and bought them a lot of toys.
These items were not considered very cheap. Besides, there were many of them.
Many a little makes a mickle. After counting, her father had spent about one year of his salary on all the three children.
Qiao Zijin was already of marriageable age. After a few years, Qiao Zijin would also find a partner and get married. At that time, it was definitely not possible for her father to do away with any preparation and be as relaxed as the time when he married her off.
Shouldn’t her father take the opportunity to save up more money these few years? Otherwise, Qiao Zijin would kick up a lot of fuss when that time came.
“Isn’t that so? They all went back.” Besides Qiao Nan, Miao Jing also felt that the Qiao family of three had gone back too soon. It was unbelievable. When did they improve their interpersonal skills? When did their skin become thinner?
Nevertheless, their departure was a good thing. It would not be so hard on Nan Nan then.
There was a saying that children are the debts owed by the parents in the previous life. In the Qiao family, Nan Nan must have owed her parents in the previous life. It was such a sin.
“Zhai Sheng is helping you send them off. He will settle everything. You don’t need to worry.” Miao Jing thought that Qiao Nan was worried about the situation of the Qiao family of three when they returned to Ping Cheng. “Let Zhai Sheng manage this. There won’t be any problem.”
If he could not even settle such a small matter, she could definitely ask Zhai Yaohui to teach Zhai Sheng, this son, again.
After feeding Da Bao his last spoon of porridge, Qiao Nan smiled. “Mom, there is no reason for me to worry when Brother Zhai is settling the matter. I just feel that it is very tough on Brother Zhai. He is already so busy in the army and his missions are very dangerous. The little time that he finally has at home was all spent on my maternal family. He couldn’t even rest well.”
On this trip back, Brother Zhai did not have time to rest at all. He had been busy helping Sister Zhai Hua in her marriage. Today, he had to travel to Ping Cheng because of her maternal family.
Qiao Nan was aware that Zhai Sheng would not make this trip to Ping Cheng personally without any reason.
At the thought of the conversation that she heard yesterday, Qiao Nan was not certain of his plan and arrangement when he sent the Qiao family of three back to Ping Cheng. As such, she looked a little worried. She was afraid that the matters of the Qiao family would create too many troubles for Zhai Sheng.
When she heard Qiao Nan’s reason, Miao Jing shrugged without a bother. “Don’t worry about this. Zhai Sheng has nothing except for physical strength. He is just sending off someone. It is unlike in the past where one had to ride a bicycle. They can take public transport now. I remember that Zhai Sheng had purchased air tickets. One day should be enough. He should return by today.”
Qiao Nan frowned. “Mom, everything seems alright. Do you know why Brother Zhai wants to send my parents back?”
Miao Jing looked at Qiao Nan, feeling puzzled. “He is sending your parents off. Putting aside your parents’ characters, isn’t this a very normal situation?” One was the son-in-law and the other was the in-law. Wasn’t it normal for the son-in-law to send his in-laws home?
Qiao Nan did not know whether to laugh or cry. “Mom, you are right. It’s certainly very normal.” Brother Zhai did not inform Miao Jing about what happened yesterday, so she would not tell her first. After all, based on what she heard yesterday, it was not just a family scandal. It was basically having an idiot in the family.
In the past, Qiao Nan was worried that Qiao Zijin would plot on and create a lot of troubles for her because she wanted to marry well. After what happened yesterday, Qiao Nan felt that she had to worry more about whether Qiao Zijin would be left on the shelves. Qiao Zijin had been taught in such a way by Ding Jiayi and she had also left Chen Jun, a man who had ulterior motives.
Just as Miao Jing had said, if they were taking the plane, Zhai Sheng could send the Qiao family back to Ping Cheng very quickly. It was also not difficult for him to return to the capital to be reunited with the family on the same day.
Later in the evening, before it was nine o’clock, Zhai Sheng returned to the Zhai family’s residence, looking fatigued after the journey.
No one knew when Da Bao and Er Bao became familiar with Zhai Sheng. Last night, they did not chase him off the bed. Today, as soon as they saw Zhai Sheng coming back home, the two chubby boys even laughed happily and pounced toward Zhai Sheng. They wanted him to carry and play with them.
Zhai Sheng arched his brows. “Wait a while. Let me change my clothes and wash my face first before playing with you.”
After having children, burly men like Zhai Sheng had also begun to pay attention to such details.
Under the influence of the women in the family, Zhai Sheng gradually became aware that children’s immune systems were not as strong as that of adults. For the sake of protecting the three children, he had to pay attention to hygiene and reduce the chances of the triplets coming into contact with dirty stuff.
Coincidentally, at this moment, he was the ‘dirty stuff’ in this house after traveling for the entire day. He was covered in dust.
“Hurry.” Old Master Zhai carried his eldest great-grandchild swiftly. “Da Bao, great-grandpa will play with you first. Your dad will come later.”
Old Master Zhai had shared the responsibility of appeasing Da Bao. Certainly, Zhai Yaohui, the grandfather, could not shirk his responsibility. He forcefully kidnapped Er Bao to his side, on the pretext of teaching Er Bao how to read.
