In particular, a few children saw that Xiao Bao had so many toys which they really liked. However, their parents often did not buy these for them. In a thrill of the moment, they had not only forgotten about Xiao Bao but also fought with him for the toys. In the end, they bullied Xiao Bao until he cried.
Such children, without the need for Xiao Bao to say anything, Mother Tian would also not let them continue to be playmates with Xiao Bao.
She complained a lot about the Zhai family because she felt that the Zhai family had kidnapped his precious grandson. However, she had personally seen the way the Xiao Bao and the triplets interacted with one another. Among the triplets, even San Bao, this young lady, took very good care of Xiao Bao. They typically would not fight with Xiao Bao for the things that he liked and always gave in to him.
When Xiao Bao was with the triplets, his temper was especially good. They would take turns playing with the toys that everyone liked. There would not be a situation of fighting or kicking up a ruckus.
With a bright pearl like the triplets as an example, the first person that could not tolerate it when other children from the Tian family came to her house and created a din was Mother Tian, let alone Xiao Bao.
After half a day of torture, Mother Tian did not make any of the children stay behind to play with Xiao Bao. After some twists and turns, Xiao Bao’s playmates were still left as the triplets.
Xiao Bao liked to follow the triplets in everything. The triplets were studying now. Hence, Xiao Bao also babbled that he wanted to follow his cousins to school when he was two years old. He even carried the little bag that Mother Tian bought to coax him, as if he was also going to school with them. His stubby legs ran at lightning speed. Clearly, the little lad did not even know the way, yet his daring stunt made others perspire.
If the nanny at home was not quick enough to hold onto Xiao Bao when he was das.h.i.+ng out, she might lose sight of Xiao Bao once he got out of the entrance of the Tian family’s residence.
A group of elders surrounded Xiao Bao to coax and persuade him. They openly promised Xiao Bao that similar to the triplets, they would send him to kindergarten when he was three years old.
At that time, Xiao Bao was happily grinning from ear to ear. He wholeheartedly believed that when he was three years old one year later, he could continue to be his cousins”tail’ and always be with them.
Never did Xiao Bao expect that he had only remained happy for one year before the reality dealt him with another painful blow. When he arrived at the kindergarten, the triplets were already at the upper kindergarten cla.s.s, while Xiao Bao could only study at the lower kindergarten cla.s.s. They were studying in the same school but not in the same cla.s.s. Nevertheless, during dismissal time, he could still play toys with the triplets, just like what they did at the Zhai family’s residence.
This kind of happy and contented life only lasted for one year before it changed again.
After knowing that the triplets were going to primary school while he had to continue studying at the kindergarten, Xiao Bao began to cry. In the end, Xiao Bao knew that he could not win no matter what. Helplessly, he asked the triplets to wait for him at the primary school, and he would catch up with them very soon.
Er Bao looked at Xiao Bao sympathetically, rubbing Xiao Bao’s head. “Be good. No hurry.” Hadn’t the pitiful Xiao Bao understood? When he entered primary school, the triplets would be promoted to another grade. Basically, as they studied at junior and senior high schools, Xiao Bao and they could only maintain the momentum of ‘you are entering the school, while I am graduating’.
“No, I feel very anxious. I’m afraid that someone will bully Sister San Bao when I am not with her.” Xiao Bao clenched his fists. His elder sister was very pretty. In the past, many little boys in the kindergarten wished to play with her. In the end, all of them ran away because he hit them.
Er Bao raised his brows. Which warrior dared to bully the tough woman in their family? Er Bao revealed a look of disbelief as he glanced at San Bao, who was wearing a flowery dress. One second ago, San Bao looked obedient and quiet. The next moment, she showed her fist to Er Bao and reminded him not to look at her in that way: Be careful that she would deal with him!
Er Bao, who had been warned, smiled at San Bao in an attempt to gain her favor and restrained the banter in his eyes. All of a sudden, San Bao touched her little ponytail. The corners of her lips curled up slightly like candy floss, looking so sweet. This was a baby blue flowery dress. It made San Bao look more introverted, like a little demure lady.
Only those who were extremely close to San Bao would know that San Bao, who was smiling to you a second ago, could beat you up until you cry in the next second!
“Are all of you ready? Let’s quickly go and enroll in school.” Today was not the official day of the start of school. Qiao Nan was bringing the triplets to the school for enrollment. Three years had pa.s.sed. Qiao Nan’s professional capability had become stronger. Under Old Master Zhai’s suggestion, she attained a driving license and had also used her salary to buy a mobility scooter.
“Auntie, can I go too? I want to send cousins to school.” Xiao Qiao held onto Qiao Nan’s thighs pitifully. His little nose sniffed, as if he was going to cry immediately if Qiao Nan did not agree.
Qiao Nan moved her heavy legs. Xiao Bao, who was in his second year of kindergarten, was not light. His chubby body weighed almost thirty pounds now. “Alright. When you sit in the car, you have to be obedient and listen to me, okay?”
Xiao Bao revealed his millet tooth, smiling so obediently. “Auntie, rest a.s.sured. Xiao Bao is the most obedient one. Xiao Bao loves to listen to auntie the most.”
Qiao Nan had no choice but to pat Xiao Bao’s little b.u.t.tocks and let him follow the triplets.
As the elder brother, Da Bao let Er Bao and San Bao board the car first. As he expected, when Xiao Bao received his mother’s approval and wobbled over, Da Bao exerted strength in his arms and carried the chubby Xiao Bao into the car.
Da Bao was only at the age of going to primary school. Most likely, the genes of the Zhai family were stronger. Although Da Bao had not begun to go through the second stage of p.u.b.erty and was only at the first stage, the rates at which Da Bao grew taller and bigger were much faster than other children.
Now, Da Bao’s nominal age was only seven years old, but given his height, people would guess that he was about ten years old. As such, it was not a difficult matter for Da Bao to carry Xiao Bao into the car.
At the sight of Xiao Bao moving his b.u.t.tocks to sit between him and San Bao, Er Bao had a look of disdain on his face. “Xiao Bao, if you don’t eat less in the future, be careful, Da Bao won’t be able to carry you anymore.” So fat, like a meat dumpling. Auntie and uncle were clearly quite thin. He did not know whose genes did Xiao Bao, this little bun, inherit and who he looked like.
Xiao Bao made funny faces at Er Bao. “Bad Er Bao, you bully me all the time. I don’t like you anymore. Auntie tells me that I look especially good like this. Very cute and auntie likes it very much. Unlike you, skinny monkey, auntie doesn’t like you. He likes me now.” Xiao Bao’s expression seemed to be saying ‘I know that I am good-looking. You are jealous of me and I won’t fall into your trap.’
