Chapter 2385: Unnecessary (2)
Picking up all three children at the same time, Zhai Sheng headed toward the washroom to wash his face and wipe the children’s mouths and chins at the same time. Zhai Sheng could not care less about his parents’ disdain.
In the past, he had felt the same way. He had never thought that anyone in the Zhai family would go crazy for love. But after seeing one example after the other, Zhai Sheng was sure that the people in the Zhai family were only cold on the outside. Leaving the typical example of his parents, when Zhai Hua had truly been in love with Wei De, she had chosen him over her own family. He was no different. Now that he had Nan Nan, he felt that it was perfect with just the two of them. Even their children were an eyesore at times, and he had to resist the urge to throw them out.
But those were only his thoughts. There was no way he would ever carry them out because he knew that no matter how much he was annoyed by these children, Qiao Nan saw them as her precious babies and could not bear to leave them for even just a moment. Zhai Sheng was all too clear that Qiao Nan would probably kick him off the bed if he dared to throw his children out.
After their faces and chins were wiped clean, the children felt comfortable. Then, they sincerely and obediently called out for their dad, planting a kiss on Zhai Sheng again. This time, the children had not made any trouble and had not left any saliva on Zhai Sheng’s face either.
San Bao leaned against Zhai Sheng’s leg, her hand and face resting against Zhai Sheng’s knee. “Daddy, water.” After kicking up such a fuss, San Bao was thirsty and wanted her dad to feed her.
What else could Zhai Sheng do since his daughter had already asked for water?
Thankfully, the auntie listened to Qiao Nan and always had warm water ready for the children. Zhai Sheng poured San Bao a cup and handed it over for her to drink. He did not even need to help her with it.
Since he was pouring one of them a drink, it made sense to feed all three of them at once. Seeing the three children getting their fill of water and wanting to play, Zhai Sheng spread out his arms, carried all three children at the same time, and headed into the playroom.
To be honest, not every fifty-year-old man would be able to carry three chubby toddlers at the same time. Thankfully, Zhai Sheng was a soldier and no one could match up to his strength and skills.
In less than a few minutes, laughter could be heard from the playroom. Miao Jing was finally relaxed. “Actually, our Zhai Sheng does feel like a dad.” It was just that she had to hold back and not slap him when he got mischievous. Sometimes, she couldn’t help but wonder if Zhai Sheng was truly forty-seven and a father of three!
If Zhai Sheng’s soldiers were to see how he behaved at home, they would definitely be scared stiff.
Because Zhai Sheng had taken charge of the three children, Qiao Nan was now free. She took out her phone and made a call to Zhai Hua. “Sister Zhai Hua, it’s me. I wanted to ask you about Jiajia’s recent English grades.” Jiajia was already in the second year of high school and would be taking the college entrance examination soon.
In the past, Jiajia’s English standards had not been too bad. She had even attended English enrichment classes regularly. But ever since she entered high school and met an English teacher whom she did not like, her interest in English had declined, and she had even become lazy.
In less than half a semester, Jiajia’s results had taken a tumble. Last summer vacation, Jiajia’s English results had been so bad that Zhai Hua had almost hired five English tutors for Jiajia and had almost stopped her from visiting the triplets. Jiajia’s rebellious stage had finally started, and the mother and daughter had been at loggerheads.
What could Qiao Nan say about this situation? She admitted that children’s interest in a subject depended on how much they liked the teacher. Perhaps, it was because she had been so suppressed in the Wei family that she had had no choice but to be obedient. Now that there was no longer the need to do so, Jiajia’s temper was starting to show gradually.
The mother and daughter had been in a fierce fight, so much so that Zhai Hua’s friends in Ping Cheng had been taken aback. It was the same feeling they had gotten when Zhai Hua had stubbornly insisted on getting married to Wei De at that time. In the end, everyone had to admit that Jiajia might be a Wei, but she was a Zhai at heart. Her temper was exactly like her mom’s.
What could Zhai Hua’s friends do but relay the situation to the Zhai family once the mother and daughter had gone into a cold war?
Hearing that Zhai Hua and Jiajia had fallen out with each other, Miao Jing had been terribly anxious. One was her daughter, while the other was her granddaughter. Given their tempers, something was bound to happen. More importantly, Jiajia was now a high school student. She had already fallen behind for two terms, and if something were to happen, there was no way Jiajia would be able to settle down and focus on her studies.
If Jiajia had not even been able to study well in such a peaceful environment, it would be impossible for her to even go to school if something were to happen.
Miao Jing had wondered if it would be better for her to return to Ping Cheng to counsel the mother-daughter pair. It was not as though Zhai Hua had never thrown such a tantrum in the past. The mother and daughter were like two peas in a pod. It was clear where Jiajia had inherited her temper from.
In the end, Qiao Nan had proposed a suggestion for Zhai Hua to bring Jiajia to the capital. Firstly, it was true that it was stressful for high school students. Although it was important to stay focused on one’s studies, it was equally important to relax from time to time. There were countless examples of high school students falling sick due to the pressure they faced.
Besides, Qiao Nan had personally told Zhai Hua that she had already graduated and had passed the professional qualifications test to obtain her certificates in English. If Zhai Hua was willing to give it a try, she was willing to tutor Jiajia in English whenever Jiajia had time off outside of her summer classes. She would try her best to improve Jiajia’s English standards to match up to other high school students’.
To be honest, Zhai Hua was much more willing to spend money on a tutor than let her sister-in-law, Qiao Nan, take care of this matter. After all, Qiao Nan was not a professional, and it was an undeniable fact that Qiao Nan did not have high educational qualifications.
