Rebirth to a Military Marriage: Good Morning Chief

Chapter 1367 - Three ‘Crazy Little Ones’

Chapter 1367 Three ‘Crazy Little Ones’

The triplets were ranked top in Miao Jing’s heart. His daughter-in-law ranked fourth, followed by Miao Jing’s two children. He was afraid that he only took the place after the old master.

“Hire a nanny? It’s not as if there is no one at home. I’m not going to do that. Auntie has been working for us for more than a decade. That’s why I dare to let her help me take care of the kids. If it is someone else, I’m not willing to let them touch the kids. Haven’t you heard before? Nowadays, some people can be very evil. They can abuse the employer’s kids despite taking the salary. If the triplets have any strand of missing hair, you can’t afford it.”

What was her husband considered? Her grandsons and granddaughter were the most important.

She had kept Zhai Yaohui company for almost thirty years, and Zhai Yaohui’s only repayment to her was to ‘almost marry off’ her only son to his former lover’s daughter.

Hmmph! Compared to her heartless husband, the three nice-smelling and chubby little grandchildren in her arms were multiple times better.

Miao Jing was very focused and she placed all her attention on the triplets. Their importance far exceeded what she placed on Zhai Sheng and Zhai Hua in the past.

It was true that the grandparents were closer to their grandchildren than children.

Zhai Yaohui could not change Miao Jing’s mind at all.

Fortunately, Zhai Yaohui had been traveling less often. After all, he was getting older. Unless it was absolutely necessary, the army would not trouble Zhai Yaohui.

Wasn’t that so? As soon as she was surrounded by the triplets, Miao Jing felt so wonderful that she did not even know what date it was.

“Why aren’t the three of you playing on your own and pestering your grandma instead?” Miao Jing felt great but Qiao Nan was very worried.

Miao Jing’s current health could not be compared to that in her youth. The triplets were getting heavier and heavier. Qiao Nan could not even carry one of them. Now, the three children had pounced on Miao Jing and Qiao Nan was truly worried that they would crush her mother-in-law.

“Mom!”

As soon as Qiao Nan appeared, the triplets screamed and pounced on Qiao Nan. Grandmother was good, and they loved her, but they had always loved their mother most!

The three little human bombs shot towards her were so powerful that Qiao Nan had a huge change in her expression. She had to squat down and try her best to catch the trio.

Thankfully, Zhai Sheng was at home and following Qiao Nan behind. At the sight of this, Zhai Sheng very willingly squatted down behind Qiao Nan to protect the mother and three children.

When Qiao Nan fell backward due to the impact of the three children’s dashes, Zhai Sheng spread his long wings like an old eagle and guarded the mother and children with his embrace. Like a city wall, he secured the four of them in his arms and formed a small and safe territory for them.

Seemingly aware that nothing would happen no matter how they played as Zhai Sheng was around, the three children played more crazily than ever. They pressed, leaned on, and squeezed one another. All of a sudden, the house was filled with childish and happy laughter of the triplets.

The children might have been overly excited during the day. Nighttime, when Qiao Nan coaxed them to sleep, they could not stop curling their lips into a smile. It was as though they were still playing the games during the day in their dreams.

“Three crazy little ones.” Qiao Nan could not help tapping on the noses of the triplets. Until now, the feelings of sweet burden of having the three chubby and stubby children pressing on her were still afresh. She could not figure out how such small men could have so much energy. Not to mention all three, she might not even be able to cope with the boundless energy of just one of them.

Zhai Sheng, who was sitting and hugging Qiao Nan from behind, leaned his head forward and said in a deep and hoarse voice, “Zhai Hua and I were also like that when we were young. The difference is that my dad was seldom at home and the old master’s energy level could not be compared to when he was young. I was also staying in the army camp. When Zhai Hua and I were young, the old master was the one who took care of us.”

When the two bean-sized babies learned how to walk, Old Master Zhai was very hardhearted. He made them run with him. It was fine for them to run slowly but they had to ‘run’. It was fine even if they walked. However, he would not help them up when they fell down. They had to climb up by themselves.

In Zhai Sheng’s memory, since he was three years old, running had already become a compulsory part of his daily training session.

“The old master said that he alone could not take both of us in hand. Running can use up some of our energy, lest Zhai Hua and I behave like wild monkeys and he could not even hold us down.” As such, he had a reason to believe that the triplets had such boundless energy because they had inherited their father’s genes.

The difference was that, although separated by one generation and Old Master Zhai also loved Zhai Sheng and Zhai Hua, he had never softened his heart when he did that. To Zhai Sheng’s surprise, when it came to the triplets, it was another generation down but he could not see the slightest ferocity and decisiveness of the past Old Master Zhai in him.

When San Bao twisted her little body and pouted, Old Master Zhai could only surrender. He could not remember any peripherals thereafter.

It could be said that, aside from Nan Nan, the only one who could be hardhearted to the triplets was him. However, he was seldom at home. Naturally, he had to rely on Nan Nan to correct any of their bad habits. Clearly, Nan Nan was the fiercest to the triplets but they were forever sticking to her most.

Qiao Nan smiled. “I think so too.”

Deep in thoughts, Zhai Sheng bent down and picked up Qiao Nan with a princess hug. The couple’s bodies were now plastered together on the bed. “How were you like when you were young?” Zhai Sheng’s childhood memories were similar before and after he entered the army. However, before the army, there were certainly times of playing and having fun as a child.

Zhai Sheng wrapped his hands around Qiao Nan’s waist, while Qiao Nan placed her hands on those of Zhai Sheng longingly. “Do you really want to know?”

“Yes.” Although it was not something good, he also wished to know.

Qiao Nan took a deep breath and thought hard. The breath that she held immediately relaxed. “I vaguely remembered that, since I was five years old, I did all the household chores including wiping the floor, washing the dishes, and occasionally washing the clothes for my family of four.”

At that time, Qiao Nan was still very young and not as tall as the stove. Her little hands did not have much strength either. Hence, Ding Jiayi would not let Qiao Nan touch anything in the kitchen. There was also another reason. If there were protein dishes at home, Ding Jiayi was very worried that Qiao Nan would eat the dishes secretly when she was frying the dishes.

As such, when Qiao Nan grew up, she would let Qiao Nan fry the vegetables with vegetable oil. When it came to the protein dishes, Qiao Nan was not qualified to touch them.

“You only did the chores and never played?” Zhai Sheng’s heart was aching badly.
