1261 Can Be Eliminated
Qiao Nan’s heart wrenched at Miao Jing’s troubled look.
Qiao Nan lowered her head and gave Er Bao a kiss on the face. She then asked Er Bao to look at Miao Jing.
After kissing Qiao Nan back, Er Bao blinked his black and dewy eyes. Qiao Nan carried him down the sofa. He ran loudly to Miao Jing. He rolled, whined, and acted cute as he took the fruits that Miao Jing had peeled and fed them to Miao Jing, making a gift for people with something that was given to him.
Miao Jing felt so sweet. She held on to Er Bao’s chubby hands. “Er Bao, be good. Grandma can eat by myself. If Er Bao likes to eat them, you can eat more.”
Er Bao raised his short and chubby hands highly and insisted to feed Miao Jing personally. It was only when Miao Jing ate the fruit that Er Bao asked smilingly, “Sweet?”
“Sweet!” Miao Jing nodded furiously. “Grandma’s heart feels so sweet.” This was not a fruit. This was the sweetest candy in the world!
Er Bao twisted his body proudly. He looked like he was dancing. His chubby body twisted and swayed to both sides like he was a chubby real-life tumbler. It was so funny.
Indeed, Er Bao was the little actor amongst the triplets. Acting was a piece of cake for him. Miao Jing was so amused that she was red and laughing in tears.
After coaxing Miao Jing, the atmosphere in the Zhai family eased much. However, henceforth, Tian Dong’s reputation in the Zhai family had been slightly dented.
The Zhai family had organized a one-year-old party for the triplets. It was lively and bustling on that day.
Almost all who attended the triplets’ full month celebration also came today.
These people saw that the triplets had grown to be so bright and extremely good-looking. Da Bao and Er Bao were slower in their speech development, but they could already walk in a steady manner. San Bao, the little girl, could not walk as well as her two elder brothers but she was better at speaking.
One year had pa.s.sed. Until now, these three children of the Zhai family had not grown astray. All of them seemed fine.
The elders often say that they could predict a person’s future when the latter was three years old.
Actually, one could foresee some situations when the child learned how to walk and talk.
These three children of the Zhai family could get along extremely well. Da Bao and Er Bao protected and doted on San Bao, their younger sister, very much. The triplets’ standing position was always San Bao in the middle and the two elder brothers by each of her sides.
San Bao, this little girl, was very doted upon. Whenever she received any good things, she would never stuff it into her mouth anxiously. She would feed her two elder brothers first before eating it herself.
Facing such a lively occasion, the triplets, including San Bao, did not show any feelings of fear. They were swirling their eyeb.a.l.l.s and also opening their little mouths from time to time, smiling sweetly at others.
Judging by the triplets’ performance, the guests who came felt increasingly envious of the Zhai family’s good fortune for having such fine three children.
When accepting these people’s blessings, Qiao Nan noticed a situation. Similar to the day that she was married, the Tian family did not appear. Their gift came instead.
After confirming that Tian Dong and none of the Tian family members had appeared, Qiao Nan’s expression changed. She had eliminated the hope of Tian Dong becoming her brother-in-law. It was better not to have a man like Tian Dong.
Sister Zhai Hua was right. If she really did not have any children in the future, the triplets would definitely be willing to take care of her. Instead of forcing Sister Zhai Hua to look for a lousy man to have children, she would rather Sister Zhai Hua follow her heart and not find any man to marry. She would be carefree and happy then.
“Mine. It’s mine. It’s mine.” After the bustling day ended, the triplets, especially San Bao, were extremely excited. Upon the end of the entire day, she was smiling with a pink face as she carried the presents from the adults. Like a dragon, she was either carrying all the presents in her arms or sitting on them.
She was touching this, looking at that, and continuously counting which present was hers.
At the sight of her chubby little girl looking like a wealthy landlord, Qiao Nan was elated. She pinched her daughter’s little nose. “Little girl, there are so many presents. What do you intend to do? Are you going to open them?”
San Bao was sitting on all the presents but did not open any of them. She looked as carefree and happy as a deity just by sitting on them. Qiao Nan could not quite figure out what her fair and chubby daughter was thinking about.
Could it be that San Bao had a hobby of collecting items?
“Open?” San Bao blinked her eyes. Her little head was nodding like a chicken pecking on rice. “Open! Mom, help!”
San Bao knew that she was small and did not have enough strength. Hence, she wanted her mother to lend a helping hand.
It felt good to touch the soft small ponytail that she tied for San Bao. Qiao Nan carried her daughter into her arms from the small pile of presents. “Mom will help you to open them?”
San Bao was only one year old and her hair was not extremely long. However, she was a girl. Qiao Nan liked to tie small ponytails for San Bao.
Although San Bao’s hair was quite short and she did not have a lot of hair, she looked extremely adorable with high ponytails. Especially those two little tails, many people endured the urge to touch her tiny face at the sight of that. They rubbed the ponytail on her head instead.
Perhaps she was aware that the little ponytails shared much burden with her. She was extremely satisfied with them. When others were not touching them, she would lift her hands to touch that novelty on her head.
“B- beautiful.” After opening the presents, San Bao was constantly clapping her hands in a delighted manner.
Everyone understood. Under such circ.u.mstances, no one would be foolish enough to give something too expensive for the triplets. Instead of gaining the Zhai family’s favor, they might attract trouble for themselves.
As such, the gifts to the triplets today were not only common but also practical.
Just take San Bao for example. She had received many beautiful princess dresses, tiaras, and s.h.i.+ny small accessories. Many gifts opened by Qiao Nan were such items.
San Bao had received such presents. Of course, Da Bao’s and Er Bao’s presents were not any different.
Da Bao and Er Bao collaborated to open the presents one by one. At the sight of the presents, Da Bao and Er Bao looked very delighted.
Da Bao and Er Bao were still children. Although the brothers collaborated, the speed of opening the presents could not win that of Qiao Nan, the biological mother.
As a model auntie, Zhai Hua patiently helped Da Bao and Er Bao open their presents. When the two children shunned her for being clumsy, Zhai Hua was not angry. She only rubbed on Da Bao’s and Er Bao’s heads and continued to help.
The triplets were one year old. No one from the Tian family came. They only sent a gift. The Zhai family had already noticed this matter and specially went to check on this.
