Chapter 1390 - Made It Sound As If It Was Real (1/2)

She did not want to go out with three children only to end up coming back missing one or two of them.

The first time that such a situation arose, Miao Jing’s back was already aching in pain despite only managing to get San Bao back. Her back was so sore that she could not straighten it. In the end, she had to muster all her strength to get the triplets back. This was the first time since her marriage to Zhai Yaohui that she had such a difficult time.

Bringing her grandchildren out for a stroll was twice as tough as the collective farming a.s.sociations back then where everyone would farm and transplant rice seedlings in the spring. Miao Jing, who led an easy life all these years, felt as if she had returned to her younger days where she led a collective lifestyle. She was lost in thought.

Having been fooled once, Miao Jing was more cautious when she brought the triplets out for a stroll the next time. She would make sure that the auntie went with her. She would also get the family chauffeur to go with her. She would ensure that she had the same number of adults as the children before she would give in to the triplets’ pleas to bring them out for a walk.

Otherwise, if she did not manage to get two or more adults to go with her, Miao Jing would not allow the triplets to have a walk outside.

“Mom, it has been hard on you.” Qiao Nan abandoned Zhai Sheng to sit next to her mother-in-law, ma.s.saging her shoulder and her waist to alleviate her backache. “After the triplets go to early childhood school, both of us will be freed. The three children are too energetic. Mom, should we sign them up for some interests cla.s.ses?”

They had to find a way for the three children to expend their boundless energy so that by the time they fetched the triplets, they would be quieter and better-behaved, and they would not climb about like monkeys.

Now that the triplets had turned three years old, Qiao Nan and Miao Jing could not handle their boundless energy.

“Nan Nan, if you can bear to part with them, I can bring them to the camp during the summer break.” There were child soldiers in the army. Of course, Zhai Sheng would not be in charge of them. The child soldiers were much older than the triplets. However, Zhai Sheng had faith in his children. Although they were only three years old, they would be able to adapt to and survive the lifestyle in the army and partic.i.p.ate in activities similar to a summer camp.

Qiao Nan rolled her eyes. “Haven’t we been through this topic? If the three children are interested, I will not interfere but support them no matter what they do. But they are still young and they could not tell what they really like. Therefore, I will not make the decision for them.”

“Is there any difference?” Zhai Sheng looked at his wife, feeling perplexed. It did not matter whether they joined the army one year earlier or one year later. Nevertheless, the children in the Zhai family would have to go to the army.

“Of course there is!” There was a pain in Qiao Nan’s eyes. “They have finally shed their baby fat and become taller. If they have a dark complexion like you and end up being tall and dark, it would be a pain to watch them.” She could not accept that her children, who had a fair complexion like the soft and tender bread, ended up to be as dark as the sorghum bread.

“Hahaha…” Zhai Hua slapped her thighs and broke out into laughter, disregarding Qiao Nan’s feelings. “This is an apt description. Like Qiao Nan, the triplets have a fair complexion and beautiful features. Zhai Sheng, if they stay in the army with you for a month, they will really become tanned.” It seemed that Qiao Nan was in a good mood today. She was unaffected by the Qiao family.

Zhai Hua turned gloomy at the thought that before Qiao Nan returned home, the Qiao family gave a call to the Zhai family.

After Qiao Zijin graduated, Zhai Sheng helped arrange a job for her. Qiao Zijin wanted to find a suitable husband, and so she gave a call to her childhood friends in Ping Cheng, telling them to make the introduction.
