she had been a mother of two. however, she felt that her son and daughter were not as intelligent as her grandchildren when the two of them were young.
besides, other families’ children who were six to seven months old were also not as smart as her family’s.
after putting down san bao, who had eaten her fill and wanted to lie down quietly for a while, qiao nan carried the ‘shocked’ da bao and rubbed his head to calm him down. “i feel that this is the child’s natural ability to pursue good fortune and avoid disaster.” when she said that, qiao nan kept smiling and looking at the man standing at the door.
as the person who slept beside this man, qiao nan was well aware of the change in him after they came to the capital.
of course, it was only until recently that qiao nan heard one name: peng yu.
this was the person who made her man become so powerful and irresistible.
qiao nan had a vague feeling that peng yu’s existence was like a piece of sharpening stone. zhai sheng, who had not met any opponent for a long time, was like a treasure sword that was slowly beginning to rust. with peng yu, this sharpening stone, brother zhai would become sharper and more striking than before.
a man like that would receive admiration and respect.
however, a small baby would naturally avoid someone like this, who carried a gust of murderous aura, once they faced him.
after miao jing praised da bao, she went to bring her son in. “you’re back so soon this time? you’ve only gone back to the army for two months. will there be any issue to come back so soon?” miao jing was aware that peng yu had been targeting zhai sheng. he had been seeking trouble and wanting to surpass zhai sheng in everything.
one was not afraid of being stolen by a thief. one was only afraid of being remembered by the thief.
facing this kind of trouble, miao jing did not think that her son could finish his dealings with the other party in just a few months no matter how capable he was. in the past, old zhai had commented about this child to her before. it could be said that many people had the same impression of peng yu. he was someone who would not be afraid of losing his life when he was determined. he was extremely stubborn!
his son had met such an opponent. he would not be able to lead a peaceful and safe life in the future. unfortunately, this kind of person was the hardest to deal with.
after carrying his eldest son from qiao nan’s arms, zhai sheng said without care, “no issue. why would there be any? at least, for some time, i am going to have quite a lot of spare time.”
miao jing smiled. “you’ve resolved the matter so well?” peng yu had to rest for some time to recover his energy?
zhai sheng held on to da bao’s arms, completely ignoring his reluctant expression. he was continuously pushing, rejecting zhai sheng, twisting his little body, and looking in qiao nan’s direction. er bao was two or three times chubbier compared to the last time he saw him. “the situation is about as such. after all, it’s going to be lunar new year soon. everyone is chinese. i have to give him a chance to go through a peaceful lunar new year.”
when zhai sheng said this, it was as if he was the one being forgiving and benevolent. he did not seem to care about how angry peng yu was at this point.
“ah!” da bao could no longer endure zhai sheng’s hug. he twisted his face like a tiger, shriveled his little mouth, teared, looking like he was about to cry out loud.
although the child was small, he was very smart when he needed to. da bao understood that as long as he cried, his mama would feel anxious and carry him back to take care of him.
“brother zhai…” qiao nan felt helpless. “don’t hold on to da bao and bully him.” da bao had only met his strict-looking biological father a few times. it was not strange at all that he would reject brother zhai. “brother zhai, it seems that the three babies are starting to recognize people. you came back at the right time. normally, you can spend more time taking care of them and keeping them company. i believe they will become familiar with you very soon.”
the children definitely had to be close to their father. qiao nan did not want zhai sheng to force the children, yet she was also not willing to see them being unfamiliar with zhai sheng. “why don’t you carry er bao now and let them get used to your smell?”
normally, da bao did not like to cry. when he peed, passed motion, or felt uncomfortable, he would just wail a few times without any tears.
when they finished changing the diaper and wiping clean his little buttocks, da bao would look like a big boss. he would lay there on his own, hold various toys in his hands, and bite them until he fell asleep.
qiao nan often felt that da bao would wail a few times just to inform them that something was happening at his end. that was not considered crying at all. it should be called an alarm.
now, da bao, who did not like to cry, was almost in tears when he was in his biological father’s arms. how could qiao nan’s heart not ache?
as she said that, as if they were exchanging hostages, she stuffed er bao into zhai sheng’s arms and saved da bao. qiao nan carried da bao and coaxed him a little. she then kissed him twice on his chubby cheeks.
da bao, who looked like he was brewing a huge rain earlier, immediately turned bright. after smiling at qiao nan, he turned and found the most comfortable position in his mama’s arms. he lay there quietly and watched his younger brother being harmed by a ‘stranger’.
er bao had been staring at zhai sheng. his tiny face and eyes were filled with alertness.
at the sight of zhai sheng reaching out his hands to him, er bao turned his head and started to find places to hide. when he saw his grandmother, who often played with him, er bao shouted ‘ah! ah!’ continuously, seeking help from her. he was not willing to let zhai sheng carry him.
“my er bao, be good. grandma loves you so much.” after receiving er bao’s ‘distress call’, miao jing reacted more strongly than qiao nan. without a word and ignoring his son’s thoughts, she carried the pink and tender er bao and started to appease him. she was continuously calling darling, precious darling, and sorts of similar names.
in er bao’s heart, miao jing had defeated her son. she was very proud to be able to guard her place in er bao’s heart.
as to whether her son would feel hurt by this action of er bao, miao jing did not care at all. well, it was because her son was always not at home and could not stay by the three babies’ side.
“don’t look at me. san bao is the only girl in our family. normally, the old master and dad don’t even dare to bully san bao. if you dare to provoke san bao, believe it or not, when the old master and dad know about it, they will punish you to do the runs.” zhai hua held on to san bao tightly and even moved her bum so that zhai sheng could not come into contact with her and snatch san bao away.
two sons, one daughter.
all three children were precious. in comparison, as the only girl and youngest child, san bao’s status in the zhai family was definitely not low.
“both da bao and er bao are boys. their skin is tough. if you really want to find a child to practice, i think da bao and er bao are more suitable. if you provoke san bao, i will get impatient with you.” carrying the soft and tender san bao, zhai hua’s tone was very serious when she said this.
zhai hua treated the three babies like her own sons and daughter.
zhai hua would unleash the demon in her, like she did when she was a devil child in the past, to whoever that dared to bully the three babies. she would kill the other party.
