Rebirth to a Military Marriage: Good Morning Chief

“Aren’t you ashamed of yourself for complaining about Xiao Bao? When the three of you were younger, you liked to pout and give kisses to other people.” The triplets would give kisses to the elders at home. No one shunned their kisses that smelled of milk. Everyone loved it.San Bao flung her head. Her hair volume had increased. The little plaits on her head had turned longer and they bounced as she flung her head. “I don’t remember anything that you said. I am older now, and I am the big sister. I won’t do something so childish.” San Bao was close to saying that her mother lied to her as her closing statement.

“Alright. You are the big sister. Let’s go. Xiao Bao is waiting for you. Since you gave Xiao Bao his pet name, you must treat him nicer than everyone else. Xiao Bao likes you very much. Let’s not make him wait for too long, shall we?” Her daughter still looked very adorable despite being stubborn. True enough, everything about her children was perfect.

San Bao felt much better now that she was able to preserve her dignity. She puffed her chest and nodded. “Xiao Bao is small, but he has a big tummy. He must be hungry now. Mama, let’s hurry. We must not let him go hungry. If he is hungry, he will cry like a small baby. Xiao Bao is already more than one year old. When will he grow up?”

San Bao had a worried look on her face. Qiao Nan found her expression to be very adorable. “Now that Xiao Bao is still very young, San Bao, you must take extra care of him because you are the big sister. You are right. Xiao Bao is hungry. We must not let babies go hungry.”

The little girl was still a toddler, yet she sighed in exasperation that Xiao Bao was a baby and wondered when he would grow up. What a funny girl.

San Bao held her mother’s hands and walked with a bounce to look for Xiao Bao. She had no idea that her mother had unspoken criticism of her.

They reached the living room and noticed that Xiao Bao was looking at them with apprehensive eyes. San Bao ran up to him and took his hands. “Xiao Bao, are you hungry? I will bring you to have food.”

Xiao Bao’s eyes lit up. He patted his tummy. He was indeed hungry and he wanted food.

San Bao smiled smugly at Qiao Nan. She had done a good job as the elder sister. She knew what Xiao Bao was thinking about, and Xiao Bao loved her very much. Since he was so well-behaved, she would allow him to plant a kiss on her cheeks next time.

The four children sat side by side. It was a funny sight and it also went to show that the Zhai family was very large. Apart from the Zhai family, no other family would have four children at home.

The triplets were already three years old. Among the triplets, Da Bao insisted on eating by himself, while Er Bao and San Bao grew to dislike it when the adults fed them under his influence. Since the adults could not dissuade them, the adults could only prepare small spoons for the triplets. Qiao Nan remembered that decades later, people would use small and clean training chopsticks specially designed to train children to use chopsticks. Therefore, Qiao Nan made a sketch of the chopsticks and asked Tian Dong for help.

Tian Dong knew more business contacts and had more knowledge in that area.

It should not be difficult to produce such small utensils.

Tian Dong was a father. In the past, he would be nonchalant when he saw related stuff. But things were different now. Whenever he saw baby products, he would not care if he had similar products at home and would buy a bunch of them for his son’s future use.

Therefore, Tian Dong found the training chopsticks to be a good idea. Besides, he believed that if he mass-produced the training chopsticks, there would be a demand in the market. The economy was booming and the standard of living had been increasing. Everyone had an increasing income but they did not have many children at home. Therefore, no matter how expensive it was, the parents would be willing to provide the best for their child.

In that case, there would be a huge demand for baby and mother products.

Tian Dong was a businessman and he could tell that this was a great business opportunity. An idea came to his mind and Tian Dong started up a mother and infant products company. He intended to venture into this industry. Once he was successful, if he needed any products for his child in the future, there was no need to purchase it from elsewhere. He could then get it from his company.

Furthermore, since this was his own business, he could ensure that the products manufactured were of the highest quality. He did not want to have the good intentions but ended up bringing harm to his child.

Zhai Hua had to return to the army. Unlike Qiao Nan, she could not provide breast milk for her child for as long as she could. Xiao Bao was still young. Since he could not have breast milk, he could only have baby formula.

There was once when the Tian family had run out of baby formula and the baby formula from overseas had yet to arrive. Xiao Bao was hungry but he had no baby formula to drink. Tian Dong thought of buying the baby formula in the country before the stock from overseas arrived in another half a month. When Qiao Nan learned about this, she immediately made a phone call to Tian Dong to stop him.

After Qiao Nan had been through rebirth, she remembered that there was once when a certain brand of baby formula contained melamine and it ended up to be a big scandal. Many children from multiple families were victims of the toxic baby formula.

Since Qiao Nan knew about this problem, she could never allow her children as well as Zhai Hua’s child to drink toxic baby formula. She sent all the remaining baby formula that had yet to expire to the Tian family. She also gave Tian Dong a gentle reminder about the problem with the baby formula.

Apart from Tian Dong, Qiao Nan also let Shi Peng in on this. After all, Shi Peng would be able to do more in his capacity as a government official.

If possible, Qiao Nan hoped that she could reduce the number of children who suffered from the baby formula scandal, reducing the number of victims as much as possible.

If she was not a mother, she would be indifferent about it. Besides, since 2010, people would have the mindset that other countries would have a stricter set of rules and regulations to ensure the quality of the products. Qiao Nan had the same thinking as well. Therefore, it was just a second instinct for her to get people to buy baby formula from overseas for the triplets. She was only reminded of the baby formula scandal recently.

Luckily, the shortage of baby formula in the Tian family jolted Qiao Nan’s memory and she remembered the scandal about the baby formula.

The children were the flowers of the nation, the future of the country.

Especially now that every family only had one child, if something happened to their only child, it would be devastating to the two families. Once Tian Dong and Shi Peng learned about it, they began working on it and checked whether the situation was really as what Qiao Nan had said.

In the end, Shi Peng discovered that Qiao Nan was right. He was so furious that his eyes turned red. Shi Qing and Zhu Baoguo had graduated, and they had been together for some time. As a father, he knew what was going on.

Shi Peng had discussed with Zhu Chengqi and agreed roughly on a time for their children to hold the wedding and collect the marriage certificate if possible. After the marriage, they would be waiting to get their grandchild.

Shi Qing and Zhu Baoguo were preoccupied with their work in the army. It would be a problem as to who would take care of the child in the future. Elder Zhu from the Zhu family was not in good health. He would not last for more than two years. Zhu Chengqi was busy with work as well, so it was not feasible for the Zhu family to take care of the child.
