In the face of such a change, unless their attitudes were correct at the beginning, the children from these families would just be crying miserably.

  What was amazing was that many years later, people realized that in this circle in the capital, there were a lot of promising children of this generation. They became the representatives of Generation Z. As such, a certain amount of healthy competition was still required. The Zhai family’s triplets were not born yet but had already brought immense pressure to these older siblings, causing their lives to change drastically.

  Strictly speaking, this group of Generation Z children should thank the Zhai family’s triplets the most for not going astray. It was a pity that after the triplets were born and as they slowly grew up and realized the reason why their elders suddenly became so strict with them, they couldn’t thank the Zhai family’s triplets. Instead, upon the mention of the Zhai family’s triplets, they gritted their teeth with hatred.

  It was fine that their pampered lifestyles were taken away after the elders in their families became agitated. But after they have grown up to become brilliant young talents, why was it that the Zhai family’s triplets had a more glorious image and once again became the ‘children of someone else’s family’ their elders talked about? This meant that their hard work and efforts since young had gone to waste.

  Could they give them a break and let them live so that they could play together happily?

  However, all this had yet to come. The triplets, who filled the group of Generation Z children in the quad up with hatred, were still sleeping and growing quietly and innocently in their mother’s stomach.

  “Bigger. It has grown bigger.” Ever since then, Miao Jing’s biggest interest and one of the things she did most every day was to look at Qiao Nan’s stomach. She felt that not only was Qiao Nan’s stomach growing bigger day by day, but it also seemed bigger in the evening than in the morning.

  \r \r \r

  Miao Jing could feel more clearly that there was going to be three more grandchildren in her family. “Is your waist sore? Why don’t I rub it for you? It’s really tough for you.” Back then, she was separately pregnant with Hua Hua and Zhai Sheng. By the seventh or eighth month, the child had grown up and her waist felt super uncomfortable.

  Nan Nan’s stomach…… Just the thought of it and she felt terrible for Nan Nan.

  Qiao Nan glowed like she was a benevolent mother. “No, the children are still small now. They aren’t that heavy.” However, after six months, Qiao Nan knew that her waist was going to suffer a lot. “Mom, you don’t have to worry about me. If I really feel uncomfortable, I’ll definitely speak up. The last time I went to the hospital for an obstetric checkup, the doctor said that the children and I are all fine. Oh right, tomorrow is National Day. Aren’t Sister Zhai Hua and Jiajia boarding the plane tonight? Are their rooms ready?”

  Before she was pregnant, Jiajia was the only child in this family and was naturally valued by all the elders in the family. She didn’t know if Jiajia would feel neglected by the elders because of the appearance of these three children as the elders’ love and care would be divided to them as well.

  Upon thinking about this situation, Qiao Nan laughed out loud.

  “Nan Nan, what are you laughing at?” Miao Jing looked at Qiao Nan curiously.

  Qiao Nan shook her head. “Nothing much. After getting pregnant, my memory is not too good. I don’t remember what I was laughing at just now.” In reality, did Qiao Nan really forget about it? No. On the contrary, Qiao Nan remembered it clearly. However, she couldn’t say these words out.

  In her dream, Qiao Nan met Zhai Sheng early and they fell in love early. She married Zhai Sheng before admitting to university and she gave birth to triplets in the summer vacation of her first year. It was because she and Zhai Sheng had married early that the triplets were the oldest among all the children born to Zhai Sheng’s peers.

  However, in this lifetime, she and Zhai Sheng were married late. Zhai Sheng’s peers were long married and their children were about the same age as Jiajia. Even if they had married late, at least, their children were about to graduate from elementary school.

  How were they like the triplets in her stomach, who were still growing? It felt like the triplets were half a generation away from them.

  In the face of such a change from being the oldest siblings to the youngest, Qiao Nan didn’t know how to face the triplets in the future. Thankfully, the triplets and their father didn’t know there was such a story in between. Otherwise, Qiao Nan was worried that her triplets would fall out with her. They would complain why she and Zhai Sheng gave birth to them so late this time such that they became the youngest in the quad.

  Especially Jiajia, this child……

  The Xiao Bao in her dream was the triplet’s follower. In reality, the three of them were going to be Jiajia’s followers. Touching her stomach, Qiao Nan asked softly, “Triplets, you shouldn’t blame me, right?”

  It was unknown if they heard Qiao Nan’s words. Qiao Nan had a small baby bump to begin with. The hand she placed on her stomach moved a little. Qiao Nan shivered. “Mom, the children moved. The children moved!”

  “They moved? Really? Little precious, I’m your grandma. Will you say hello to me as well?” Miao Jing couldn’t wait to stick her whole body to Qiao Nan’s stomach so that she could feel the existence of her grandchildren. It was a pity that there was only a bit of fetal movement. After waiting for a long time, Miao Jing didn’t feel anything from Qiao Nan’s stomach.

  Zhai Yaohui retracted his gaze and cleared his throat. “What’s the hurry? It’s only four months. It’s normal that the children aren’t actively moving. Wasn’t it like this when you were pregnant with Zhai Hua and Zhai Sheng back then? You’ll be able to feel them a couple of months later. Don’t always lie on Qiao Nan. This way, Qiao Nan would have difficulty breathing.”

  Most importantly, Zhai Yaohui was worried that Miao Jing would accidentally crush Qiao Nan’s stomach when she laid on her. Zhai Yaohui, as the grandpa, cherished the rare triplets in Qiao Nan’s stomach as well. It was just that no father-in-law could get close to their daughter-in-law and feel how active his grandchildren were in their mother’s stomach.

  Zhai Yaohui had the image of a veteran cadre in the country. Even if his heart desired to do so and he envied Miao Jing for being able to do just that, he couldn’t. Zhai Yaohui could only endure.

  Zhai Yaohui told himself that it had already been more than four months. In half a year’s time, he could directly embrace his warm, soft, crying, and screaming grandchildren. At that time, he didn’t have to consider so much if he wanted to hug them. As such, he pinched his fingers and tolerated it. Half a year would soon pass quickly.

  On the other end, in the Qiao family’s courtyard in Ping Cheng, Qiao Dongliang was so excited that he couldn’t control himself after hanging up Qiao Nan’s call. It was as if he wanted to do something.
