Chapter 2240: A Moment of Foolishness

“You have no conscience.” Miao Jing pretended to be hurt by her grandson, but she was still smiling. “Alright, alright. I’ll return you to your mom. If you pee or poo in the future, I won’t change your diapers anymore. Did you forget who fed you your milk, changed your diaper, and washed your buttock when you cried just now?”

The triplets expressed that they were still young and completely didn’t understand what their grandma was talking about.

“Mom, carry them a while more. It’s pretty cold outside and the wind has been blowing for a while. I don’t think my clothes are clean. I’ll carry them again after I change my clothes and wash my hands.” When Qiao Nan was wiping her hands, she always felt that the back of her hands was a little sandy. The books were clean, so it meant that the wind wasn’t.

If possible, Qiao Nan couldn’t wait to take a shower first before carrying the children. However, the three children were making a lot of noise. Qiao Nan could only change her clothes in a hurry. After confirming that the coldness on her body had disappeared, she carried San Bao in her arms and kissed her. Of course, after kissing her daughter, she naturally couldn’t leave behind her two sons.

After kissing her son’s fragrant and slippery cheeks, the four of them felt comfortable and satisfied. Da Bao and Er Bao no longer continued to kick up a fuss and insisted on their mom to carry them. They nestled themselves obediently in their grandparents’ arms and nibbled on their own little hands.

Upon seeing this situation, Qiao Nan took a clean and soft handkerchief. She didn’t find it troublesome as she wiped the triplets’ mouths. “They recently have more saliva. Mom, do you think it’s because they are teething soon?” Although this was the ‘first time’ she was a mom, Qiao Nan didn’t find the children’s growth to be unfamiliar.

Miao Jing’s eyes shone. “That’s right. I even found out today that Da Bao’s gums feel a little hard. Seeing that Da Bao always wanted to bite on things but didn’t look like he was hungry, I went to read up on a book. The book said that the child would feel itchy when they were teething. They might even grind their teeth.” Upon thinking that the three children were teething, she knew that she could feed them solid food in a month’s time.

“Is that so?” As Qiao Nan didn’t breastfeed them, she didn’t find out about this situation at the first instance. Upon hearing that Da Bao’s gums were turning hard and he was teething, Qiao Nan was extremely happy. “Indeed, Da Bao is the eldest brother. He’s teething so early. Er Bao, San Bao, don’t lose to him. After all, the three of you were born at the same time.”

The doctor said that the three children were raised well in Qiao Nan’s stomach. As long as the adults took good care of them, their physical conditions would be similar to those of children born under normal circumstances. As such, Qiao Nan felt that if Da Bao was teething, Er Bao and San Bao would too.

“That’s right.” Miao Jing recovered herself. Since the children were teething, they had to prepare some teething food for them. The book said that children loved to bite on things after teething. If things came into contact with their hands and mouths, they would always try to stuff them in their mouths and bite them. “We have to start preparing some small items in our house.”

“Yes. Prepare toys that are made of natural and sterile rubber. Before giving them to the triplets to play, we have to disinfect them as well.” Also, any sharp or raised items in the corners of the house had to be put away. Even the corners of the tables and chairs had to be wrapped well in soft film.

It was so troublesome to raise a child. Raising three children at the same time made it impossible for them to be lazy.

“That’s right.” With regard to raising a child, Miao Jing was completely out of touch. When she gave birth to Zhai Sheng and Zhai Hua, the country didn’t have good conditions like now. Even if the Zhai family similarly valued their children, they were affected by the conditions then. Moreover, Miao Jing’s heart was focused on Zhai Yaohui at that time. As such, Miao Jing completely didn’t understand how to raise a child.

Upon hearing Qiao Nan’s words, Miao Jing felt that these things were necessary. They had three children in the family. Three portions had to be prepared for things like toys. They should pay more attention to the corners of the house as well. They should put away whatever that should be put away and change whatever that should be changed. There should be protective covers on plugs. If they couldn’t shift some things higher, then they should cover them completely so that the children wouldn’t touch them in the future when they knew how to climb and walk.

Miao Jing had never raised grandchildren before. However, she read a lot of news and knew quite a bit about children. Now that it was time for her to raise her grandchildren, Miao Jing hurriedly took out her notebook and pen to write down the content that she still remembered so that they could be used as a reference in the future.

“Nan Nan, don’t worry and just head to school. The triplets are still young. We’ll help you take care of them at home. Don’t worry. It has been so long. Your dad and I know how to take care of them.” When it was time for Qiao Nan to go to school, Miao Jing was very happy to send her out. She knew that once Qiao Nan was out of the house, the triplets wouldn’t cling to her and would still be willing to be taken care of by her, the grandma.

How would Qiao Nan not know Miao Jing’s thoughts? She smiled helplessly. “I’ll trouble you and Dad for the triplets.” After giving the three children a light kiss on their cheeks, Qiao Nan carried her own ‘schoolbag’ and headed to school.

“Triplets, Mom’s going to school. Say goodbye to her.” The triplets were asleep now and even if they were awake, they wouldn’t be able to understand her words. Miao Jing, as a silly elder, still grabbed San Bao’s meaty hand and waved to Qiao Nan. When Nan Nan graduated, they would be the ones to send the triplets to school together.

They only managed to take care of their grandchildren when they were old. However, Miao Jing and Zhai Yaohui adapted to this well. The triplets were sleeping a lot and didn’t know how to climb or run. Zhai Yaohui and Miao Jing both knew in their hearts that they would only be able to raise them up during this time. When the children knew how to climb and run, they wouldn’t be able to catch them, let alone take care of them or play with them.

As such, taking advantage of the few limited months, Miao Jing and Zhai Yaohui cherished the time spent with the children even more.

Everyone in the quad could see Zhai Yaohui’s and Miao Jing’s momentum of raising grandchildren, especially Zhai Yaohui’s. He looked like he was going to lead a carefree life in his old age. Because his son, Zhai Sheng, worked hard, Zhai Yaohui could hence hand over the Zhai family’s burden to Zhai Sheng early.

However, no matter what it was, people had to have children, especially sons, in order to have some confidence. At least, after having grandsons, Zhai Yaohui could completely focus his attention on them and Zhai Sheng could develop his career.

Of course, what Zhai Sheng could do now was just some minor details.
