Rebirth to a Military Marriage: Good Morning Chief

Chapter 2418: Bringing Them Along (2)

“You know how much the triplets cling to Qiao Nan. If they don’t see Qiao Nan before sleeping and start to cry, I can’t coax them.”

Being clingy to their biological mother and wanting her to coax them personally when they were sleeping was a problem that any other child had. The Zhai family’s triplets had this same problem as well.

Because of the triplets’ habits, Miao Jing could only compromise. Who asked her to not bear the three children crying?

“Alright, I understand. I still remember what I promised. I was just saying.”

She only said these capricious words upon thinking that she wouldn’t be able to see the children when they were away and would feel as uncomfortable as having a piece of flesh cut off. If they really allowed her to do so, she wouldn’t be willing.

Upon hearing Miao Jing’s obvious guilty conscience, Zhai Yaohui didn’t expose her, lest she felt embarrassed and became angry. By then, he would have to coax her.

Rather than trying to make his wife happy afterward, it was better to pay more attention at the beginning so that she wouldn’t become angry.

“Yes, you don’t mean it that way. Our Miao Miao is a great grandma. How would she stand in the way of anything that’s good for the three children? No wonder the three children are close to you but not me.”

In order to make his wife happy, Zhai Yaohui almost treated her like a three-year-old and started to coax her with mushy words. One had to know that even in front of the three grandchildren, Zhai Yaohui never said anything in such a tone before.

After hearing this conversation, the auntie, who was inexplicably treated to a public display of affection, silently returned to the kitchen, saying that it was time for her to wash the cooker hood and she was so busy.

As such, she shouldn’t go out until she finished all the chores and cleaned the kitchen.

As the auntie of the Zhai family, she wasn’t fed with rice the most every day but public displays of affection.

Forget it that Zhai Yaohui and Miao Jing did this from time to time. Zhai Sheng and Qiao Nan were even more exaggerated. It was to the extent that the auntie felt nauseous at times.

She was obviously married and someone with a husband. She had long broken free from being single.

Why was it that she, who was doing chores for the Zhai family, was always force-fed with public displays of affection?

After self-reflecting, she felt that the responsibility lied with her husband.

If her husband were like the men of the Zhai family who doted on and took care of their wives well, why would she feel that she was being fed with public displays of affection? One had to know that she was already married and was also qualified to show public displays of affection.

The auntie’s husband, who did nothing but was implicated, completely didn’t know what he had done wrong to cause his wife to throw him dirty looks for a few days.

In the end, there was no choice. He sought a solution from his son and bought presents three days in a row before managing to coax his wife.

The auntie, who received the presents, secretly decided to throw tantrums once in a while so that her husband would take note of her.

Look at how many presents her husband gave her after they got married. Once she started to ignore him, he gave her three presents at one go, which were more than what she had received in the past five years.

Men were cheap. They had to be tormented for a while before knowing what was good for them.

That said, Qiao Nan could really do anything and yield twice the results by doing half the work with such a supportive father-in-law like Zhai Yaohui.

After making a decision, the auntie and Miao Jing helped pack clothes for the triplets and prepared small luggage for each of them.

Different from the children’s small luggage, Qiao Nan’s and Zhai Sheng’s luggage had to be much bigger.

Needless to say, the two adults’ luggage contained the three children’s items the most.

“Zhai Sheng, you must take good care of the triplets and Nan Nan when you’re outside. You can lose your life, but you have to bring Nan Nan and the three children back to me. Understand?”

Before they left, Miao Jing couldn’t help but tell Zhai Sheng bluntly that he was the only person in the party who didn’t need to return.

As for Qiao Nan and the three children, they had to be sent back home safely to her.

Thankfully, Zhai Sheng was no longer young and wouldn’t be jealous or angry over Miao Jing’s words.

A man with a wife was different from the past. Zhai Sheng cared more about Qiao Nan’s attitude. Did she also feel that it was fine to lose her husband but not her children?

Qiao Nan, who was watched by Zhai Sheng, hurriedly expressed her loyalty and held his elbow tightly. “Mom, don’t worry. No one will be gone from our family of five. Brother Zhai will help you take care of the triplets. I’ll help you take care of your son.”

Oh, the triplets were young. Qiao Nan felt that it was pretty normal that they threw tantrums from time to time and wanted her to coax them.

Qiao Nan felt that Zhai Sheng, this old man, was the abnormal one. Why did his temper become more similar to San Bao’s? Did the father-daughter pair discuss this beforehand?

Speaking about this, this was also the biggest difference between her dream and reality.

In her dream, Zhai Sheng was obviously younger and had lesser experience in life. However, he was always a mature and stable man, supporting his wife and children.

Of course, in reality, the close-to-fifty-year-old Zhai Sheng also did these things.

What was different was that in reality, Zhai Sheng was more childish.

Sometimes, Qiao Nan couldn’t help but call Zhai Sheng a childish ghost. Did he really assimilate with the three children after spending too much time with them?

Zhai Sheng didn’t know Qiao Nan’s inner thoughts. However, he was very satisfied with Qiao Nan’s performance. “Don’t worry. With me around, no one will be gone.”

Upon hearing Miao Jing’s words, Zhai Sheng felt speechless. Were the thoughts of old people so unreasonable?

What kind of family was their Zhai family? How would their three children be gone?

“Mom, we’ll get going then.” She patted Zhai Sheng’s elbow and reminded him to have a better attitude toward Miao Jing. It was understandable that she was overthinking since she was nervous about her grandchildren and couldn’t accompany them.

Indeed, Brother Zhai’s level of tolerance for his parents was not as high as in her dreams.

Qiao Nan could understand Miao Jing’s nervousness and naturally understand Zhai Sheng’s change.

Zhai Sheng married Qiu Chenxi previously not for himself but for his parents.

Even if Zhai Sheng didn’t like Qiu Chenxi, which man would be willing to let his wife-in-name make a cuckold out of him?

Qiu Chenxi also had poor patience. Based on Qiao Nan’s understanding of Zhai Sheng, Zhai Yaohui and Miao Jing used almost thirty years for Zhai Sheng to agree to get married to Qiu Chenxi.

As long as Qiu Chenxi could tolerate it for ten years, she might be pregnant with Zhai Sheng’s child. However, both of them fell out as Qiu Chenxi had an affair. They couldn’t maintain their husband-wife relationship and had to get a divorce.

Thankfully, Qiao Nan was no longer jealous about this.
