When the children woke up early and excited, the person who suffered directly was none other than Qiao Nan, the biological mother. She had no choice. When the children were awake, regardless of how sleepy Qiao Nan was, she had to follow suit and wake up as well.

  He Yi had a look of understanding on his face. Four years had passed and He Yi’s son had gotten married. More importantly, He Yi’s daughter-in-law was pregnant. A few months later, He Yi could become a grandpa. Perhaps it was because that his family was going to have a newborn soon, but whenever He Yi mentioned the Zhai family’s triplets now, his liking for them was well expressed not only in words but also on his face.

  Furthermore, He Yi was a newbie in raising grandchildren while Qiao Nan was a veteran.

  In order to welcome the birth of his grandson, He Yi was like a good student, asking Qiao Nan a lot of questions. He even took notes. He Yi had already filled up the pages of the palm-sized notebook.

  Knowing that Qiao Nan’s family operated the number one mother-and-infant chain store in China, He Yi asked what things were the most suitable for his grandson. He also asked Qiao Nan if she had any good recommendations.

  Ever since the poisoned milk powder incident, Qiao Nan had a discussion with Tian Dong. The mother-and-infant market was so big and there were so many products. Was it possible for them to invest more heavily in milk powder? She’d rather the company earn less money, or even not earn money at all, and produce the best and most nutritious milk powder for all the families in China.

  Good things were good, after all. A single use could produce quality comparison results. After some time, everyone could feel that the quality of the Baby Love milk powder from the mother-and-infant store under the Tian Corporation was especially good. A lot of kids had a higher level of acceptance for the milk powder produced by them when weaning.

  \r \r \r

  Aside from weaning, Baby Love milk powder catered to different nutritional needs required by children of different ages. This allowed babies at every growing stage to get the full nutrition required and turn out healthy.

  If the milk powder was good, the children would naturally turn out well after drinking it.

  Over time, Baby Love milk powder became famous and also the most popular milk powder in the Chinese market. In addition to the advertisements they had created previously as part of their publicity efforts, everyone understood that Baby Love milk powder was of high quality and their profit margins were little just so that tens of thousands of families’ children’s health in China was ensured.

  All their efforts were not in vain. Even today, although Baby Love milk powder didn’t seem to have brought the company much monetary gain, the presence of this top-notch milk powder influenced their other products, thus producing a positive result. As such, the money Baby Love earned didn’t decrease at all.

  It was not clear to others that in a short period of four years, Baby Love, the subsidiary company under Tian Corporation, had a booming business and a great reputation. Its performance in the headquarters was higher each year, exceeding those from the other well-established subsidiary companies. As Qiao Nan’s senior, He Yi knew that Qiao Nan had made great contributions.

  Since he had a good teacher beside him, a mother who had raised three children, He Yi didn’t waste any time and asked Qiao Nan directly for advice.

  After understanding He Yi’s needs, Qiao Nan was also generous. “When the child is born, I’ll give him a hundred-day gift bag. The contents of this bag are quite complete. Use them for the child first. If you find them suitable, we can talk about the rest.”

  As such, before the little grandson from He Yi’s family was born, he had already received Qiao Nan’s gift.

  It was a give-and-take situation. Qiao Nan and He Yi had interacted for the longest. Among all the seniors, Qiao Nan naturally got along best with this senior.

  Upon hearing that the triplets were so excited about going to the primary school that they couldn’t fall asleep, He Yi smiled. “Could it be that this was the same for your Da Bao? The last time I saw Da Bao, he had a stern look on his face. I thought that he had seen his father.” Upon mentioning Da Bao, He Yi’s tone was full of appreciation.

  When elders looked at juniors, they naturally wished the latter to be livelier and happier. However, if the elder had different expectations of this junior, then he or she would naturally wish the junior to be more than that.

  Qiao Nan laughed bitterly. “Don’t talk about that. I’d rather Da Bao wake me up as he was too excited. Da Bao’s the same as me. He woke up purely because Er Bao and San Bao were too noisy.” The old master had brought Da Bao up for a long period of time. After he had done so, her father-in-law would pull Da Bao to the study room for a ‘heart-to-heart talk’ from time to time.

  Forget it that Zhai Sheng would be serious in speech and manner toward Da Bao when he was at home. When he pulled the three children together for training and sports, he had much higher expectations for Da Bao as compared to Er Bao and San Bao.

  Ever since the three children reached the age of five, Zhai Sheng would get them into the army when he didn’t have any mission. It was unknown where Zhai Sheng got three sets of children’s camouflage clothes and he made them wear them during summer.

  Perhaps it was because the triplets were the children of the Zhai family that they had the natural perseverance to be soldiers. After the delicate San Bao entered the army, she always complained that it was tough when she talked to Qiao Nan over the phone. Thereafter, she insisted that Qiao Nan not to take her away from the army. She wanted to stay with Da Bao and Er Bao and believed that she could overcome these difficulties by herself.

  Since San Bao had already said so, how could Qiao Nan bring San Bao back just because she felt heartache for her? If she did so, she wasn’t loving her but harming her instead.

  Because of this, ever since the children were five years old, Qiao Nan was never worried that they would be bullied by other children in school. When the children came to San Bao, they would only be bullied by her, let alone if they went to Da Bao or Er Bao. Every time she sent them to school, Qiao Nan would tell them that they must not take the initiative to bully other children in school.

  Of course, if they were being bullied, Qiao Nan wouldn’t let them be foolishly beaten when they had the ability to protect themselves.

  Because of this, Qiao Nan was invited to the kindergarten thrice when they were still in kindergarten.

  Having grown under such an environment, Da Bao’s behavior wasn’t that of a usual seven-year-old. He was matured early, and that made Qiao Nan feel sour in her heart. However, the three generations of men in the Zhai family felt that it was a must to cultivate Da Bao in such a manner. Only then would it be good for Da Bao.

  Seeing that Da Bao was still enjoying himself and didn’t have any resentment at all, Qiao Nan felt heartache but could only tolerate and not say anything to that.

  As such, in response to He Yi’s question, it was basically impossible for Da Bao to display behaviors of having a short temper or being unable to sleep due to excitement.
