Chapter 2464: No Loss (2)
Ever since the children began to grow up, Qiao Nan had already tried to minimize the time of carrying the children. Now that she was carrying San Bao, Qiao Nan felt that her arm would be sore the next day.
“How do you open this?” After opening the car door, Miao Jing looked at Qiao Nan in embarrassment.
San Bao had already fallen asleep and couldn’t sit up. Da Bao and Er Bao were also tumbling over. It was hard for the two adults to take care of all three children at once.
“It’s alright. Just place them on the booster seat.” Because of the three children, there were booster seats ready in the car.
While awake, the three children naturally hated the restraints of the booster seats. But now, they were like three pigs and were fast asleep. They couldn’t be bothered about comfort. All they cared about was sleep.
Besides, with the booster seats, they wouldn’t have to worry about Da Bao and Er Bao knocking each other while sleeping.
“Mom, you can carry San Bao and sit in the front passenger seat.” Qiao Nan wiped away her sweat after securing Da Bao and Er Bao in the booster seats. Then, she handed San Bao over to Miao Jing. Only then had she finally settled all three children.
“I made a blunder today. Next time, we definitely have to bring them out only in the afternoon.”
It was her first time bringing the children out in the morning. Who would have expected the children to fall asleep and become like spineless worms who couldn’t even stand up straight due to sleepiness?
If they had come out in the afternoon instead, Qiao Nan felt that they wouldn’t have faced such a problem.
Miao Jing laughed. “I think our three children are the best-behaved amongst all the children here. You’re so blessed. Look how obedient our triplets are.”
As a grandma, Miao Jing defended the three children. Even though Qiao Nan was the mother of the children, Miao Jing didn’t allow Qiao Nan to blame them for their energy or for sleeping soundly like a log.
Even though it was just a joke, Miao Jing was still upset. Her grandchildren were perfect!
Even if they did really have any flaw, that was because they had inherited it from their parents, Zhai Sheng and Qiao Nan. The children were innocent and couldn’t be blamed for it.
Qiao Nan knew that her mother-in-law was a crazy protector of the children and looked at the children through rose-tinted lenses. As such, Qiao Nan didn’t try to argue with Miao Jing. Besides, she thought that her children were great too.
Of course, it would be even more perfect if the children’s father could be by her side taking care of those sleeping ‘piglets’. Then, she would have absolutely no complaints.
Miao Jing had guessed her thoughts and said, “Next time, let’s ask Zhai Sheng to come along.” They needed a man to be their coolie at times like this.
What was the point of having a son?
He was just a little bit useful when her grandchildren needed help.
But at this moment, both Miao Jing and Qiao Nan couldn’t help but miss Zhai Sheng’s strength.
Miao Jing held San Bao safely in her arms before Qiao Nan stepped on the accelerator and headed home.
Her dream had just been a dream. Back in reality, Qiao Nan had been the one who had been knocked down by a car instead of the one knocking someone else down. When the triplets had gotten less clingy to her, she had found some time to get herself a driving license.
Otherwise, it would have been even more troublesome if Qiao Nan couldn’t drive out in situations like this.
Upon reaching home, Qiao Nan didn’t try to fight with Miao Jing over carrying the things. After all, she had to carry the sleeping children into the house one by one.
But as the car came to a stop, someone took the initiative to take San Bao over from Miao Jing. Qiao Nan felt as though she was about to tear up. The children’s father had finally returned.
“Zhai Sheng, you’re back. You’re just in time. Hurry and carry the children to their rooms. Nan Nan’s exhausted from taking care of them for a whole morning.”
Miao Jing’s reaction was no different from Qiao Nan’s. Their savior had come.
Zhai Sheng sized up Qiao Nan’s situation. Seeing that she was still alright, he took San Bao over and brought her in first.
To be honest, even sitting around with the children and playing with them for a while was not easy for Miao Jing.
After handing the things over to the auntie, Miao Jing pulled Zhai Yaohui into their room.
Miao Jing was exhausted and needed Zhai Yaohui to massage her. Otherwise, she wasn’t even sure if she would be able to get up the next day to send the children to school.
Seeing Miao Jing still trying to persevere through the pain, Zhai Yaohui was upset and sour. “Are grandchildren really that good?” Putting aside how she wasn’t even spending time with him, she wasn’t even thinking about her own body and health!
Zhai Yaohui had already guessed that Miao Jing would definitely end up in this state. That was why he never tried to join in. Simply taking care of Miao Jing when she returned would use up all of his energy.
They had to admit that they had indeed grown old.
As such, Miao Jing would take care of the three young ones, while Zhai Yaohui took care of Miao Jing. It was a nicely joined cycle.
“Alright.” Zhai Yaohui massaged Miao Jing as she lay comfortably on the bed. Zhai Yaohui was already an expert in this. “Of course! Grandchildren are the best! My daughter-in-law comes next. My children who only anger me rank last!”
Even in this state, Miao Jing was still singing the praises of her grandchildren. Zhai Yaohui was speechless. “That’s true. Grandchildren are your top priority now, and your daughter-in-law comes next. Miao Miao, think about how you were five years ago. You shouldn’t be in such a hurry now. After all, we’ve helped the old master fulfill his wishes and seen the birth of the three children. Based on what I see, our children won’t grow up astray. Even if we won’t personally witness it, I’m sure of it.”
Five years ago, Miao Jing had simply wished for Zhai Sheng to find someone to get married to. That way, when the elderly couple was gone, Zhai Sheng would at least have someone by his side.
As for what status that woman had, or whether she was fertile, Miao Jing couldn’t care less.
In the end, Zhai Sheng had chosen to marry Qiao Nan. Apart from being slightly older and having poor educational qualifications, Qiao Nan was a good-tempered lady who was getting married for the first time. She was better than Qiu Chenxi in every way. They had not lost out on anything by getting such a daughter-in-law!
Besides, their daughter-in-law had been so great. In less than a year’s time, she had made her a grandmother to three! She felt as though she had lived her life to the fullest and could die without any regrets.
