Chapter 1237 - Second-Prize Scholarship (1/2)

“Gegege.” Da Bao, who was in a good mood, kept laughing. Miao Jing did not know what he was up to. “He is only a few months old. What could he be thinking of? What’s so funny that he keeps laughing? Nan Nan, have you seen it? Whenever Zhai Hua and I bring the triplets out for a walk under the sun, they are the most adorable babies among all the children. They will always have a smile on their faces and they never cry when they are outside.”

Compared to babies who kept crying and were a headache to the adults, it was very easy to take care of the triplets.

“They must be pretending.” Qiao Nan, who was holding her chubby daughter in her arms, joked. “They are very smart. They strive to give the best performance when they are outside and will not cry. But when they are at home, there is no need to hide their true feelings. In fact, they have a bad temper.”

San Bao blinked. Her dark and round eyes kept staring at her mama. She then turned her chubby cheeks sideways and brushed her cheeks against Qiao Nan’s chest. It was obvious what she was doing.

Qiao Nan patted San Bao’s bottom. Qiao Nan’s heart ached for San Bao, and she felt guilty. “San Bao, be good. I will feed you with formula milk.” Qiao Nan, who used to have sufficient breast milk for the triplets, stopped secreting milk naturally when the triplets were five months old.

Qiao Nan had no other choice but to wean the triplets off the breast milk.

“The formula milk is ready.” The auntie was an able worker. She knew the lifestyle of the triplets very well. After they woke up, urinated, and p.o.o.ped, they would feel hungry and would cry for their milk.

San Bao, who lay in her mama’s arms, saw the milk bottle in her mama’s hands. She flailed her hands, as if she shunned the milk bottle. In the end, she had no other choice but to take the milk bottle with her chubby arms and started to suck on the milk bottle.

It was more important to drink her fill and grow up tall and strong.

As the mother, since the triplets were awake, she had an obligation to stay by their side and entertain them.

She had to coax them and tuck them into bed before she could do her schoolwork.

“Are they asleep?” The triplets slept soundly. They were sprawled out on their backs in the baby cribs. Their bulging tummies would rise and fall with every breath they took. They bent their knees like a little frog in surrender. They looked so adorable and endearing. Miao Jing’s heart melted at the sight of her grandchildren. “My dear triplets, eat well and sleep well. You will grow up to be strong and healthy.”

Her grandchildren might be born one month before their delivery date. However, when they were placed side by side with full-term babies, they seemed to be taller and bigger than them. Miao Jing could not help but be so proud of the triplets.

Every elder who lived in the same district had nothing but praises for the triplets. They were amazed that they were so healthy and strong. They praised the Zhai family for raising them well. It was the Zhai family’s fortune that the triplets were well-behaved and that they ate well and were very healthy.

Qiao Nan, who was using the internet, had to mult.i.task while she listened to Miao Jing. She agreed with her. “Right now, the triplets will spend less time to sleep. They are very energetic. Thankfully, they are able to fall asleep in no time when they feel sleepy. One does not need to cajole them to sleep. We can just put them on the bed and they will fall asleep right away.”

“You’re right. It is such an easy task to take care of the triplets. Other families are kept busy with a single child of a similar age. We have three babies at home but we are able to take good care of them. The triplets are the most adorable and well-behaved children in the world.” Her grandchildren were the best. Miao Jing was a besotted grandma. She only had eyes for her grandchildren. No other babies were better than her grandchildren. “I noticed that you have a red file with you. Did you get a scholars.h.i.+p again?”

Now that the children were asleep and Miao Jing was free, after caring for her grandchildren, she turned to show concern for her daughter-in-law.
