Qiao Nan gently rubbed the chubby and pink faces of Er Bao. “Er Bao, you’re San Bao’s elder brother. Did you lead Er Bao astray?” Among the triplets, Er Bao was the natural-born actor. Why was San Bao becoming more similar to Er Bao as she grew up?
Er Bao responded to his mama with a toothless grin. San Bao was his younger sister. Of course, he had to protect San Bao so that no one could bully her.
As he might not always be by San Bao’s side to protect her, the best way was to teach San Bao some self-defense tactics.
After showing his little millet tooth, Er Bao gave a complacent smile.
At the sight of Er Bao’s ‘deserve a beating’ smile, Qiao Nan was dumbstruck. “Brother Zhai, have I been thinking too much? Why do I keep having the feeling that our family’s triplets are too smart? They’re little elves. Didn’t they say children who are four months old only know how to eat, drink, and sleep? Why do they have so many thoughts and expressions? Sometimes, the triplets babble and make a lot of noises when they are lying in the cribs. They seem to be chatting with one another. Brother Zhai, am I suffering from post-partum depression such that I am hallucinating and imagining things?”
Qiao Nan almost had the urge to secretly ask the triplets whether they had time traveled or were reborn.
Unfortunately, besides these doubtful situations, Qiao Nan did not have other concrete proof. Most of the time, the triplets behaved like ordinary babies. They were extremely simple, adorable, and funny. They would open their eyes wide as they looked at this novel world adventurously with curiosity and desire.
“I don’t think it has anything to do with depression. Our family’s three children are a little more eccentric and smarter than typical kids. Don’t give yourself too much pressure. I heard that many parents think that their children are little geniuses. Other people think too highly of their own children, yet you are afraid that our children are too smart. Don’t worry. It is not a superstitious belief for children to be intelligent. Perhaps our family’s triplets are really a little smarter.”
Hugging Qiao Nan tightly, Zhai Sheng’s face looked very relaxed.
He was leading a satisfying life with wife and children. He did not have any regrets.
It was no wonder many people liked to say that one’s wife was in their arms and their children in their wife’s arms. The feeling of having his arms over his wife and children all at once certainly gave him a great sense of satisfaction.
“Ah! Ah!”
“Ya!”
Da Bao and Er Bao, who were lying in their mama’s arms, saw the hands that did not belong to their mama sticking out from under their little bums. They pouted unhappily as they reached out their little claws and slapped the hands without any reservation. It was obvious that they wanted to compete for their mama and for Zhai Sheng to let go of his hands.
As soon as he was slapped by his sons, Zhai Sheng, who had just told Qiao Nan not to worry, narrowed his eyes with a flash of unhappiness. “They are really too smart. Is there a way to make them more stupid?” He had not heard of four-month-old children fighting for people with their father.
“Hahahaha.” Qiao Nan was smiling like a flower in Zhai Sheng’s arms. “But I heard that this phenomenon is quite common. Many children are not willing to see their parents too intimate with each other. Perhaps that’s why they like to chase their father away?”
Zhai Sheng pinched Qiao Nan’s waist unhappily. “It’s late. Let’s go downstairs for dinner. San Bao is still with the old master. The triplets went out today. They will feel more tired than usual. After dinner, let’s wash them up and let them sleep early.”
“Okay.” With Shi Qing and the triplets being the ‘moderators’, Qiao Nan had completely washed her hands off the Qiao family matters.
As per what Zhai Sheng said, as they had gone out today, the triplets were feeling tired earlier than usual. Children would grow up faster with more sleep. Once the triplets were tired, the adults would lower their volumes in actions and speech. After Qiao Nan and Zhai Sheng coaxed them to sleep and put them in the baby cribs in the bedroom, Zhai Sheng still did not raise his voice.
After enduring for one night, Shi Qing finally arrived at the house of the Zhai family to visit her godsons and goddaughter.
When Shi Qing knocked on the main door of the Zhai family, the auntie looked helpless. “Miss Shi, indeed, madam was right. You’re here a little early. At this time, both madam and sir are not awake yet.”
“How can that be?” Shi Qing had an expression of ‘are you kidding me?’ on her face. “Qiao Nan is never the type that lazes on the bed. I have known her for many years. Even if it is the first day of Lunar New Year, she, a big pervert, will insist on waking up at half past six in the morning. It’s already seven o’clock. She should have already finished her breakfast and started reading, no?”
They had known each other for so many years. Shi Qing could easily recite Qiao Nan’s daily routine.
The auntie did not know whether to laugh or cry. “Miss Shi, come in first. What you have just said was the madam’s previous routine. Now that she is a mom, she has to take care of the triplets. Hence, her routine has already changed because of them.”
Given the auntie’s experience, Sir Zhai and madam must have been taking care of the triplets. When the triplets were hungry, feeding them could take a lot of energy.
Qiao Nan did not have enough breast milk supply. Fortunately, the triplets were already used to formula milk.
Hence, Zhai Sheng and Qiao Nan had discussed and agreed that they would wean the triplets from breast milk when they were five months old.
Qiao Nan’s breast milk could become snacks for the triplets occasionally at most. Since it was not enough for them, she might as well let the triplets get used to drinking formula milk earlier.
Breastfeeding three babies simultaneously was not a job for the ordinary.
Shi Qing’s eyes lit up. “I see. What are my godsons and goddaughter doing now?”
She came to the Zhai family’s residence to visit the children. Of course, Shi Qing did not come empty-handed. She was carrying bags of items.
“They should be drinking milk now,” the auntie replied before she could hold her tongue. After all, the Zhai family was already used to the routine of the triplets feeling hungry and drinking milk at this time.
Shi Qing shrieked and revealed a look of excitement in her eyes. “I’ll go and help!” It must be a very fun thing to feed her godsons and goddaughter milk.
“Aye!” When the auntie realized that Shi Qing was not a member of the Zhai family, it was too late. At the sight of the agile Shi Qing advancing the staircase, taking three steps at a time, the auntie yelled quickly, “Miss Shi, slowly. Don’t frighten the triplets!”
The moment Shi Qing placed her hands on the doorknob and opened the door, she did not see the cute and chubby faces of her godsons and goddaughter immediately. Instead, she saw Zhai Sheng, who was pulling such a long face that she could not help taking a step back and letting out a gasp of shock.
Zhai Sheng had just worn and buttoned his shirt. He was carrying an army green jacket on his shoulders.
Although his attire was not messy, it was very different from his usual spic and span image. This was the first time that she saw Zhai Sheng looking like this.
