Chapter 1338 Seek Help
Er Bao was still young. Of course, he did not know that when adults were lying, they could appear more serious than when they were telling the truth. Hence, Er Bao doubted himself a little when he smelled his little hand. Yes, although it was not very fragrant, it certainly was not smelly either!
When she heard Zhai Sheng bullying her son in this way, Qiao Nan could barely tolerate it. “Brother Zhai, Er Bao is your son. Biological one.”
Er Bao sensed that her mother seemed to be helping him. Although he did not understand what his mother meant, he immediately repeated what she said, “Biological. Biological son!”
In the face of Er Bao’s strong learning ability, Zhai Sheng was naturally fond of it.
Finally, Zhai Sheng rubbed Er Bao’s head. “Your mom, grandma, and the auntie bathe the three of you very often at home. If you are still smelly, you don’t need to live on anymore.”
“Wash clean clean, nice nice smell.” At the mention of bathing, Er Bao’s eyes lit up. He knew that he had a chance to play with water when he was bathing. Each time he finished his bath, his mother and grandmother would also praise him for smelling nice.
Zhai Sheng forcefully rubbed Er Bao’s head. It was as if he was rubbing a dog’s head. Er Bao’s little body swayed from side to side and lost focus. He was half lying on the seat and could barely differentiate north, south, east, and west.
When Er Bao forced his eyes open, he was staring at stars. After some time, he found the direction that his father was at. He shriveled his lips. “Mom, Dad is bad. Bully. Bully Er Bao!”
“Baddie!” When she heard this, San Bao, who was having a cold, answered as if they were bounded by hatred for a common enemy. Their father was the biggest baddie in the whole world. He had to compete with them for their mother. “Want to fight. Go back. Find grandpa, grandma, also great-grandfather, master grandpa!”
As she counted, San Bao felt elated. When her father bullied them, she could seek help from so many people. All of them could help her hit her bad father. “Mom, I want to find master grandpa. He, protect San Bao.”
Amongst so many elders, Lin Yuankang, this master grandpa, and not their biological parents doted on them most. Lin Yuankang taught the triplets from young that they could tell him if anyone bullied them. He would definitely help the triplets retaliate. Undoubtedly, Lin Yuankang took the most care of San Bao, the only small flower. He really doted very much on her.
Lin Yuankang was getting older. If San Bao did not gain weight every day, he would carry San Bao for as long as he could do so.
After staying in Ping Cheng for a few days, besides Miao Jing the grandmother, Lin Yuankang was the next person that San Bao talked most about. Although Zhai Sheng and Qiao Nan were with the three children shopping in the streets of Ping Cheng, San Bao kept saying that she wanted to buy this and that back for Lin Yuankang.
As such, when they returned to the capital, they had many things with them. All the items were presents selected by the triplets for their kin.
Those in the capital had presents. Qiao Dongliang, who was in Ping Cheng, wasn’t left out.
San Bao picked a snow globe for Qiao Dongliang. She even specially requested Qiao Dongliang to place it beside his bed. She told Qiao Dongliang that seeing the snow globe was equivalent to seeing her. It was not because of other reasons. Coincidentally, there were various photographs of Zhai Sheng’s family of five placed on the bedside table of Qiao Dongliang.
In the past, when he was in the small courtyard of the Qiao family, Qiao Dongliang did not dare to display the photographs of Zhai Sheng’s family of five. He only dared to put them away properly. When he missed the family, he would quietly take the photographs out and look at them for a long time.
It was great now. He lived alone in a house and did not need to worry about Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin secretly entering his bedroom to steal and destroy the photographs of Qiao Nan and the triplets. He could display these photographs wherever he wished to.
He had most probably endured it for too long. In addition, he could not figure out the current situation between Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin. After Qiao Dongliang moved in, the first sum of money that he spent was for developing various photographs of the Zhai family of five.
That was not all. Qiao Dongliang even picked out the one that he thought was the best. He did a blow-up of it and hung it on the wall.
This house belonged to him only. It was up to him to arrange however he would like to and n.o.body could interfere again.
Zhai Sheng had long pa.s.sed the keys of this house to Qiao Dongliang. This time, besides giving one set of the duplicate keys to Qiao Nan, Qiao Dongliang did not intend to give the keys to anyone else.
This was the only way that Qiao Dongliang would feel safe in this house. He could then display whatever he loved and cared about most in places according to his wishes. He did not need to worry that they would be touched or thrown away by others.
It was certainly very fast to travel from Ping Cheng to the capital via a flight.
Qiao Nan was carrying San Bao, who was having a cold, in her arms. Zhai Sheng carried Da Bao and San Bao with one hand each. When Qiao Nan was carrying San Bao and waiting for the luggage, Zhai Sheng carried Da Bao and Er Bao into his own family car before returning to fetch his wife and daughter.
The family of five was tired from traveling when they arrived home. Even the two adults felt tired, let alone the three children.
As soon as the door opened, Qiao Nan said, “Auntie, can I trouble you to bring us five cups of water? It’s time for San Bao to take her medicine.” When they boarded the plane, San Bao refused to take the medicine on the excuse that she did not feel well. She insisted to do so only when she arrived home.
They were finally home. Qiao Nan could not allow her daughter to escape from taking the medicine. Would her cold recover quickly if she did not take any medicine?
“San Bao needs to take medicine? What medicine? Is she unwell?” Miao Jing stood up anxiously. However, Zhai Hua, who was back in the house of her maternal family, was quicker in action. She s.n.a.t.c.hed San Bao from Qiao Nan’s arms. “San Bao, what is wrong? Are you having a fever?”
Qiao Nan changed her shoes and removed her jacket. “No fever. She’s having a runny nose and a slight cough.” After was.h.i.+ng her hands, she took the plain water from the auntie. Qiao Nan did not bother to drink first. She served her three children and made them feel comfortable first. “San Bao, we are home. You have to take medicine.”
San Bao pouted and frowned unhappily. She was squirming, looking like she wanted to go back on her words.
Qiao Nan had no choice but to carry her daughter again. “San Bao, be good. You won’t recover from your illness if you don’t take medicine. The medicine isn’t bitter. It’s a little sweet. San Bao, quickly recover from your illness. San Bao still wants to distribute presents to grandpa, grandma, and everyone, right? Master grandpa is still waiting for San Bao to look for and play with him.”
“Master grandpa?” When she heard her favorite master grandpa being mentioned, the listless San Bao perked up a little. “Take medicine.” If she did not do so, her mother would not allow her to play then.
She had finally convinced San Bao. Qiao Nan used her fastest speed to feed the medicine into San Bao’s mouth. She was so afraid that this little ancestor would go back on her words if she were to delay.
