Chapter 1376 - Which Zhai Family Was That? (2/2)

Lin Yuankang asked about Zhai Hua since he was reminded of her. He was not worried for her. When she was born, she was a healthy baby. Since a young age, apart from sustaining injuries when she was on her a.s.signments, she seldom fell sick.

“Master grandpa!” San Bao, who had good hearing and liked to stay close to her mother, heard Qiao Nan when she addressed Lin Yuankang as her master. She knew who was on the line and shouted affectionately at her master grandpa who was on the other end of the phone.

Whenever San Bao greeted Lin Yuankang in her sweet voice, Qiao Nan felt particularly glad that her master did not have high blood pressure, high sugar level, and high cholesterol. Otherwise, he would have an overdose of sugar.

“Oh.” Lin Yuankang could not tell that his disciple was concerned for him. Right now, all he could hear was San Bao’s sweet voice. “San Bao, be good. You must listen to your mom and think of me. When I return, I will bring beautiful presents for you, and I will make sure that you look as pretty as the little princess.”

“Emm… Master grandpa, you must hurry back. I miss you.” The chubby girl nodded and she replied in her sweet and soft voice. It was even softer and smelled better than the newly-pounded glutinous dough.

Qiao Nan caressed her daughter’s fine hair that was plaited into small braids. She had to hand it to San Bao for being so competent in cozying up to someone powerful.

It was no wonder that the elders said that children were smart. They did not need to be taught and they knew what they should do. Whenever her master was at their house, Da Bao, Er Bao, and San Bao would make him happy and he would laugh out in happiness. He would always go back home in light footsteps with a beaming smile on his face.

After San Bao got a hold on the phone, she chatted with Lin Yuankang on the phone for twenty minutes. When the phone turned warm, San Bao still could not bear to end the call.

San Bao might be quick in learning how to speak, but she was still a child who was not even two years old. Her thought process was haphazard and she would talk about different topics randomly. There were many times where she did not make any sense at all. When she was too excited, she might even say some ‘alien language’.

But the elder and the toddler had a happy time chatting on the phone. No one was willing to hang up the phone.

Qiao Nan checked the clock on the wall. She knew that there was a time difference at the place that Lin Yuankang was in. If they continued to chat, San Bao might be holding off Lin Yuankang from doing his work.

Qiao Nan straightened her face and San Bao quickly said her goodbyes to her master grandpa. She held the phone in both hands and pa.s.sed them back to Qiao Nan. “Mama, give you.”

Qiao Nan pinched San Bao on her nose, expressing her slight displeasure. “You are such a naughty girl, and you are very good at cajoling people. Don’t do this next time.” After hanging up the phone, Qiao Nan told San Bao off. “Master grandpa has serious work to do overseas. We should not disturb him, should we? Also, he is getting older, and his work is so tiring but he still has to prepare presents for San Bao. Doesn’t San Bao’s heart ache for him? Don’t you hope that he can have more time to rest?”

Qiao Nan was very worried that the work trip overseas would exhaust Lin Yuankang. After all, he was getting advanced in years. If not for the interests of the country, Lin Yuankang would not have agreed to the work trip, making life difficult for himself.

The tiring work should be left to the youngsters.

When Zhai Yaohui was at home, he seldom ventured out, but he would spend more time at the government and going on work trips.
