Chapter 2397: Cant Be In a Hurry (2)
Needless to ask, Zhai Sheng knew that the two elders couldnt bear to leave their three grandchildren and felt that their later years would be unexciting if the three children were sent to an early learning center earlier. As such, they conspired and deliberately put on a show in front of Qiao Nan so that she was in a difficult spot and would delay the process of sending the children earlier to school.
The older they got, the younger they got. This accurately described Miao Jing and Zhai Yaohui.
As a man who was biased toward his wife once he had a wife, Zhai Sheng didnt hesitate to stand on Qiao Nans side, exposing the thoughts of Zhai Yaohui and Miao Jing. He had no intention of maintaining the images Qiao Nan had of them in her heart.
After knowing the situation, Qiao Nan could neither laugh nor cry. Dad and Mom are really Even if they were sent to the early learning center earlier, they wouldnt spend a lot of time in school. Could it be that her parents-in-law were addicted to being tired and wanted to chase after the three children every day?
She wanted to send the three children to school as she was considerate of the two elders. She was worried that the three children were too active and would tire them.
Who knew that her good intentions caused the two elders to make such a joke? Brother Zhai, should we still send the triplets to school then? She really couldnt resolve the problem of the grandparents being clingy to the children. Upon thinking about Zhai Yaohuis and Miao Jings ages, Qiao Nan was always softhearted.
The responsibility for this matter obviously didnt lie with her, but every time she thought of how Zhai Yaohui and Miao Jing couldnt watch the three children grow up like in her dreams, Qiao Nan felt especially sad. They couldnt see Da Bao and Er Bao grow up to become real men who were as outstanding as their father, Zhai Sheng, and they couldnt see San Bao become a slim and graceful girl who was flower-like. As she met Zhai Sheng late, the three children were born almost twenty years late. That was almost the time of a generation.
As he hugged his beloved wife, Zhai Sheng acted more calmly. You can ignore them. It wasnt that Zhai Sheng didnt have similar thoughts as Qiao Nan. The problem was that Zhai Sheng wasnt willing to be too entangled with what had already happened. It was already not bad that the Zhai family had such a happy and complete life like today. As such, they shouldnt be greedy and always question why such blissful days didnt come sooner or if only time could be longer.
As a member of the Zhai family, everyone had their own responsibilities. However, Qiao Nan was the only person in this family who didnt need to be responsible.
Zhai Sheng no longer resented and blamed his parents for the failed marriage with Qiu Chenxi and the cold relations.h.i.+p he had with the Zhai family for the past twenty years. However, Zhai Sheng was even more unwilling to put pressure on Qiao Nan and make her feel wronged.
Everyone no longer talked about this topic in-depth. However, this didnt mean that its previous existence had been obliterated and the responsibility could be placed on Qiao Nan now. Even if his parents didnt mean it this way and this was just Qiao Nans thoughts alone, Zhai Sheng similarly disallowed it. Alright, the old people are softhearted. If we really go along with them and pamper the three children such that they grow up astray, do you believe that Old Master Zhai would be the first to lecture them both? You havent seen Old Master Zhai before. He doesnt have a good temper. When he gets angry, regardless of if you are three or thirty years old, you will be beaten if you make a mistake. When my dad sees Old Master Zhai, he would only let him be and not rebut him.
When Old Master Zhai was still alive, he had never been merciful toward him and Zhai Hua. He managed them when he had to, and he beat them up when he had to. Both of them were beaten by Old Master Zhai before when they were young. The only time that Old Master Zhai wanted to hit Zhai Hua but didnt do so was when Zhai Hua insisted on marrying Wei De.
It was Zhai Huas life. Although Old Master Zhai obviously knew that Zhai Huas decision was wrong and he didnt like it, he couldnt choose Zhai Huas path or use his own strength to force Zhai Hua to give up her thoughts and persistence.
Speaking of the mentality Zhai Yaohui and Miao Jing had toward the three children, Zhai Sheng thought of Old Master Zhai more. As parents, his parents couldnt compare with Old Master Zhai. As grandparents, they were still inferior to the previous generation. Thankfully, Old Master Zhai was around in this family. At least he and Zhai Hua were by Old Master Zhais side back then and werent considered to have grown astray.
If his parents really gave more care and concern to him and Zhai Hua, n.o.body knew how they would grow up today.
Old people were more stubborn. However, at least Zhai Yaohui and Miao Jing werent the kind of people to do anything too overboard. Furthermore, they would have been delaying the arrival of the three grandchildren whom they had been waiting for for a long time.
After Zhai Sheng and Qiao Nan made a decision, no matter how reluctant the two elders were, they didnt say anything. They only said that if conditions permitted, they wanted to send the children to school and fetch them back home while they could still move.
Zhai Yaohuis and Miao Jings health conditions werent bad. The Zhai family had a driver as well. If they went out, they would be chauffeured. Qiao Nan and Zhai Sheng didnt find that letting Zhai Yaohui and Miao Jing temporarily send the children to school and fetch them home was an issue. As such, they agreed.
There was soon a result of sending the children to the early learning center. They chose a good school, registered them, and sent them there.
The so-called early education might not really teach the children anything to learn. It could be playing games or singing songs.
Of course, Zhai Sheng and Qiao Nan had long understood these situations. When the couple sent the children to school, they stood outside the cla.s.sroom and observed them from the outside on the first day. Aside from San Bao throwing tantrums and needing the teacher to coax her and Da Bao and Er Bao being a little unhappy initially, they quickly adapted.
After all, there were a lot of children in the school. There were toys as well. With more playmates around them, even San Bao would naturally get used to such a rhythm of life.
Within a week, San Bao found a good playmate in school. That girl was a mixed-blood and was one month older than San Bao.
Qiao Nan observed for a while. San Bao should like this little sister as the other party was pretty. Also, if San Bao wanted to play with anything, that little girl who was one month older than San Bao would actually give her toy to San Bao and play with her.
With a little sister who was pretty, willing to give in to her, and willing to play with her, how would San Bao be unhappy? She had another little sister who could take care of her. Within a few days, San Bao was happy. If she didnt see that little sister in school, she would even be unhappy.
What made Qiao Nan proud was that she similarly observed that this little sister was so good to her daughter because San Bao was cute.
