Rebirth to a Military Marriage: Good Morning Chief

Chapter 2480: Wedding Things (3)

Thankfully, Qiao Nan had managed to persuade her otherwise in the end.

It was normal for her mother-in-law to feel uneasy and fall ill because her father-in-law had passed on.

None of them had regained their senses from the incident, so how could they expect her mother-in-law to suddenly lift her spirits and live just as she had had in the past? How could she possibly care for her grandchildren?

Thankfully, Miao Jing’s health improved over the span of a year. Only then did the three children finally start to feel assured.

In the past, Miao Jing had spent all her free time with the three children. Now, it was different. Whenever the children had some time, they would spend it with their grandmother, Miao Jing, and think of ways of cheering her up.

But this didn’t last too long. In the second year after Zhai Yaohui’s death, Miao Jing’s body could no longer take the strain, and she followed Zhai Yaohui and left as well.

The three children had sobbed their hearts out the day Miao Jing passed away.

They knew that they would never get to see their grandma and grandpa who loved them so dearly ever again.

Even the introverted Da Bao’s eyes had welled up with tears. Because of his character, he was unwilling to speak and simply stood silently in a corner. It was a pitiful sight.

Logically speaking, the Zhai family should have wholeheartedly arranged for Miao Jing’s funeral. But the very next day after Miao Jing’s death, Qiao Dongliang had passed on too.

The moment Qiao Nan received the news, she hurried down to Qingshui Town to arrange for Qiao Dongliang’s funeral.

Although it was important to settle Miao Jing’s matters, they couldn’t neglect Qiao Dongliang’s either. In the end, the couple had no choice but to split the work between the two of them with Zhai Sheng handling Miao Jing’s funeral and Qiao Nan heading over to Qingshui Town to handle Qiao Dongliang’s.

It didn’t seem right for Qiao Nan to be going alone since their grandfather had passed away, after all. As such, Qiao Nan decided to bring Da Bao along with her.

Jiajia and Chen Feng, who had both returned from studying abroad, were unable to regain their senses for a long time.

Jiajia stayed in the capital to send her grandmother, Miao Jing, off, while Chen Feng naturally followed Qiao Dongliang to take care of Da Bao and send Qiao Dongliang off in Qingshui Town.

Because Qiao Dongliang’s funeral had clashed with Miao Jing’s, Qiao Nan and Zhai Sheng had been exceptionally busy.

As a result, the couple had been apart for almost half a year. By the time Qiao Nan returned to the capital with Chen Feng, Zhai Sheng felt that Qiao Nan had lost even more weight, and his heart ached.

“Don’t just talk about me. You don’t seem to be in a much better place than me. Mom and Dad aren’t around anymore. It’s just the children and us now. We have to live well.”

She was fifty, and Brother Zhai was fifty-five.

The problem was that their children were only ten years old this year.

Qiao Nan finally experienced the panic and worry that Miao Jing had at that time.

As parents, they were already at retirement age, but their children were still in primary school. Would she and Zhai Sheng still have the ability to stand up for their children in the future when they ran into any trouble?

“Don’t worry. Our children are doing very well. It seems a little irresponsible to say that as parents, but it’s true. Our children are indeed outstanding and can take good care of themselves. There’s no need to stress yourself. None of us are wrong about it. If we were wrong, our children wouldn’t have grown into the people they are today.”

Zhai Sheng comforted Qiao Nan as he hugged her. Probably all women worried about this when they reached a certain age.

Zhai Sheng had never seemed to have such worries.

Zhai Sheng was all too clear about his children’s temper and abilities.

Although they were still young, they were very sensible.

If not for the fact that he had been holding them back, the children could very well have started middle school given their abilities.

Zhai Sheng had only stopped his children from expressing their true abilities for the sake of the elderly couple.

Once they entered middle school, they would have much more homework to handle. Besides, most of the top middle schools in the capital were boarding schools.

If the three children entered middle school too early, they would have less time to spend at home during the week.

At that time, Zhai Yaohui had left and Miao Jing had only the three children left by her side. If the three children had all gone to a boarding school, they would have spent much less time with Miao Jing. Zhai Sheng wasn’t sure how long more Miao Jing would be able to live for if that were to happen.

Thankfully, Da Bao had already talked to Zhai Sheng about this.

The three children were intelligent and their abilities surpassed those of their peers.

Given that situation, as well as the children’s family background, their teachers had suggested the triplets skip grades and not waste time in the early grades.

Da Bao knew what would come if they were to move to middle school and thus rejected his teacher’s suggestion. Then, he had even let his father know of his thoughts. “Dad, after Grandpa left, Grandma has only us by her side. We want to spend more time with Grandma, so we don’t want to skip grades. Is that okay?”

Since that had been Zhai Sheng’s initial plan, there was no reason for him to stand in the way if Da Bao felt the same way too. “If that’s what Er Bao and San Bao want too, Dad and Mom will respect your decision. It’s alright even if you grow up slowly.”

Da Bao was the eldest brother. As such, Er Bao and San Bao had immediately agreed to his suggestion.

But now that Miao Jing was no longer around, Da Bao took up his responsibility as the eldest brother and told Er Bao and San Bao. “Grandma’s no longer around, and Dad and Mom aren’t young either. We have to grow up quickly. Only then will we be able to take care of them. I’ve decided to skip grades and enter middle school. What about you guys?”

Without hesitation, Er Bao and San Bao did just as Da Bao said.

Having come to a consensus, Da Bao let Zhai Sheng know of their decision and asked for Zhai Sheng’s help to arrange for the test for them to skip grades.

Zhai Sheng knew of this matter, whereas Qiao Nan remained unaware of it.

Initially, Zhai Sheng had intended to let Qiao Nan know about it. But because Qiao Nan felt too secure in Zhai Sheng’s embrace, they hadn’t even chatted for long before Qiao Nan fell asleep in Zhai Sheng’s arms.

Zhai Sheng lovingly planted a kiss on Qiao Nan’s lips before hugging her to sleep.

The married couple was fast asleep, but there was another young couple who couldn’t fall asleep and was even in the middle of a heated discussion.

Jiajia stared wide-eyed at Chen Feng in anger. “So, why don’t you give me an answer? With your mom’s nonsense, are you planning on returning to Ping Cheng, or are you going to bring your mom over?”
