Rebirth to a Military Marriage: Good Morning Chief

as to whether it was true or false, she would not take issue with it. even if it was untrue, it did not matter. they should at least provide an explanation. certainly, this request was not too much?

the qiao family had not been unreliable for just a couple of days. she had no choice. miao jing’s tummy was filled with anger but she could not vent her frustration. afterward, she even had to call the qiao family to enquire what happened to make them feel more at ease.

that phone call was not picked up by qiao dongliang but ding jiayi.

earlier on, ding jiayi had a bad track record of inflating qiao dongliang’s spending. facing ding jiayi, this kind of in-law, she was not as polite as when she faced qiao dongliang. she openly and directly questioned about the situation.

given the zhai family’s background, ding jiayi dared to be fierce to qiao nan but dared not raise her voice at miao jing. she explained nicely that qiao dongliang had been unwell, that he had caught a cold.

the triplets were still so young and their immune systems were weak. if qiao dongliang insisted on seeing the children, it was not good if he were to pass the cold to the triplets then.

their family was small. since qiao dongliang was unwell, as the wife, ding jiayi had to stay behind and take care of him. the only one left was qiao zijin, who was still a student. the triplets were born at the end of september. the full-month celebration did not overlap with the national day long holiday. as such, qiao zijin could not attend it either.

initially, ding jiayi wanted to explain more to miao jing and expressed her family’s helplessness, love, concern, and guilt.

miao jing’s face was cold. although ding jiayi was willing to waste her breath explaining, miao jing was not willing to increase the telephone bill and listen to ding jiayi spit saliva. therefore, she simply said, “noted. the triplets are crying and require my attention.” she then hung up the phone.

it had been three months since she made that phone call. qiao nan had already finished giving birth, taking examinations, and her school vacation was starting. however, the qiao family did not appear. there were no calls from them either.

today, someone suddenly paid a visit, brought three authentication certificates, and said that these were the presents that qiao dongliang prepared for the triplets.

that person did not ask too much either. after making himself clear, he put down the stuff and left.

facing this kind of in-laws, miao jing had never talked about them in front of qiao nan. however, this did not mean that miao jing did not have any thoughts about the qiao family. she just did not want to put qiao nan in a difficult position and was not willing to make qiao nan upset because of her maternal family.

today, qiao dongliang got someone to visit the zhai family to make his presence known. miao jing could barely control the resentment in her heart.

the triplets whom her family could not wait to hold in their hands and dote on had been ignored by their biological maternal family to this extent. would miao jing feel happy? to hell with it!

no matter how angry miao jing was, she could not make up stories and behave like ding jiayi. miao jing passed the three boxes, still in their original states, to qiao nan. she did not provide additional details to worsen the situation. she just told qiao nan what happened honestly.

as to what qiao nan thought and how she was going to handle it, miao jing would not insist on intervening. she would let qiao nan make her own decision.

looking at the three little gold bracelets, qiao nan did not know how to react all of a sudden.

after some time, qiao nan gave out a long sigh. “these are well wishes from the triplets’ maternal grandfather after all. didn’t they say that gold can ward off evil spirits? mom, should we let the triplets wear them?” these were given by her biological father. regardless of whether her father was muddleheaded, she had to give him some face. by allowing the triplets to wear them, she was not only giving her dad’s face but also giving the three babies’ face.

the qiao family could not be compared to the zhai family. this was something known to everyone.

it was not easy for the qiao family to send this kind of gift to the triplets.

it was better to be late than never.

“okay.” miao jing understood this point. she also had the same thoughts. qiao nan was very young but she could think of this without the need for her to persuade. miao jing felt very comforted.

although qiao nan also bore the surname ‘qiao’, she was really different from the rest of the qiao family. until now, she still could not understand why qiao nan could come from that kind of family. she was totally different from the other three members of the qiao family.

since miao jing and qiao nan shared the same view, zhai hua was not wishy-washy about it either. they ignored what kind of people in the qiao family and helped the three babies wear the little bracelets.

on the day the three babies turned one month old, the zhai family did not receive any exaggerated or overboard presents. nevertheless, there were many small accessories like these that carried auspicious meaning. in fact, until today, the three babies were bare and had nothing on them as they were waiting for the qiao family.

no one in the zhai family mentioned this situation. it was just that everyone understood in their hearts.

most likely, the three babies had inherited their skin color from their biological mother, qiao nan. each was fairer than the other. the golden little bracelets that they wore complemented them and made their skin appear brighter and more beautiful.

“tsk, tsk, tsk, did our three babies look like little golden children? they are better-looking than the babies in the past calendars.” her little nephews and nieces were fair and beautiful. they could not find any babies within the vicinity that could be compared to their family’s babies. as the auntie, zhai hua thought so no matter how she looked at them. “san bao, when you grow up, auntie will buy many beautiful little dresses and hair accessories for you. i’ll doll you up like a little princess, okay?”

in fact, although san bao was only over four months old, qiao nan and zhai sheng’s wardrobe had already been stuffed with a pile of stuff that zhai hua bought for san bao.

the problem was that it was winter in the capital. it was fine to stay at home. it would be too cold to go outside.

hence, some clothes would possibly be of use to san bao if she were in ping cheng, but there were very few opportunities for her to wear them in the capital.

occasionally, qiao nan would let san bao wear the little accessories that zhai hua bought for her.

the little girl was not old but she sure had a temper. she felt uncomfortable when someone wore a flower on her head. before the grandmother and auntie could finish praising with the word ‘adorable’, san bao’s little fleshy claw had already grabbed, pulled, and flung the flower to the floor like it was an old shoe.

most likely, she felt comfortable after throwing it away. the naughty san bao even opened her tiny mouth and chuckled. that chubby little body was twisting like a worm, and she had a complacent look on her face.

at the thought of this matter, qiao nan and miao jing were filled with worries. there was already one zhai hua in the family. as the mother and grandmother, they were afraid that san bao would learn from zhai hua, this auntie, and liked soldier attire instead of makeup. that would be terrible.

“ah! ah!” at this moment, da bao, who had been chewing something, took out the wet toy from his mouth. his little hands patted the sofa below his bum as he turned his head and looked in the direction of the door.

the few adults looked in the direction da bao was looking at. a man with soldier attire, looking as sharp as a treasure sword, was standing at the door. who else could it be except for the father of the three babies?

“haha.” those grape-like black pupils of da bao stared at zhai sheng. he kept making noises with his mouth. he seemed to be asking who that person at the door was.

miao jing was extremely happy and wanted to carry da bao. da bao shook his head and pointed his little hand in qiao nan’s direction. he wanted his mama to hug him. “our family’s da bao is so smart. he’s only so little now. next time, he will definitely be a top scorer like nan nan.”
