After the three children compared and knew how good he was as a father, he believed that they would definitely reduce the number of times they went against him.

  He didn’t have high expectations. It was enough if they could achieve this.

  “Then, go and apply leave for the three children from school. I’m busy,” Qiao Nan said decisively.

  With Zhai Sheng’s company, Qiao Nan got him to handle all the trivial matters, including the ones that pertained to the three children.

  “Are you really bringing the triplets along?”

  Upon hearing that Zhai Sheng was going on a family trip, Miao Jing was envious. “Old Zhai, shall we go along as well?”

  She was already missing the three children a lot when they were at the early learning center.

  She had lesser time to see the children in the day. However, she could at least accompany them when they were back at night.

  If the three children were to accompany their parents for the trip, she wouldn’t be able to see them for a long period of time. Just the thought alone made Miao Jing feel extremely uncomfortable when they hadn’t even left yet. Thoughts about the three children flooded her mind.

  Zhai Yaohui sighed. “Why aren’t you willing to admit that you’re old? If our bodies allow it, do you think Qiao Nan wouldn’t have suggested bringing us along?”

  Zhai Yaohui could understand Qiao Nan. Although they were always ambitious and wanted to take care of their grandchildren, in reality, their bodies didn’t allow that much.

  Take playing with the three children for instance. They were already tired from bending their backs for less than a minute.

  When it came to squatting, it was really difficult for them and their old bones.

  It was precisely because of this that Zhai Yaohui knew Qiao Nan had secretly taught the three children not to play with their grandparents or request hugs from them as they weren’t in good health.

  \r \r \r

  Their grandpa and grandma weren’t feeling well. When the triplets grew up, they were big children and should take care of them instead.

  Under Qiao Nan’s teachings, the three children were obedient. Even if they were tired from walking during the rare times that Miao Jing and Zhai Yaohui brought them out for walks, they’d rather sit on the grass for a while than request their grandparents to carry them home.

  When he saw his grandchildren being so obedient when they had not yet reached the age of two, Zhai Yaohui couldn’t help but feel sad at times. His body was obviously so strong when he was young. Why was it that he didn’t even have the energy to carry his grandchildren when he was old?

  Qiao Nan had already taken care of them to this extent when they were at home. How would Qiao Nan dare to bring them along on a plane and run around?

  Furthermore, the situation of the school that Qiao Nan was inspecting was poor. Needless to ask, the physical environment and living conditions must be equally poor.

  What if they had to climb mountains? That was really going to take their lives.

  However, if there was a chance to relax and do sightseeing, Qiao Nan wouldn’t leave the two of them behind, lest they felt lonely.

  As long as she didn’t arrange for them to go to places with a poor environment, wouldn’t that do?

  Qiao Nan expressed that this wasn’t doable.

  Based on Zhai Yaohui’s contributions to the country, it was necessary to send two soldiers to take care of and protect him when he was out.

  Let her bring the two elders out and leave them behind halfway?

  It was fine if nothing happened. If any accidents happened, not to mention if Zhai Hua and Zhai Sheng would blame her, but even Qiao Nan wouldn’t be able to forgive herself.

  With the two elders in the capital, there was an aunt to take care of them at home and there were so many familiar neighbors around.

  No matter what happened to Zhai Yaohui and Miao Jing, someone would keep watch on them. They could even receive the best treatment in the capital.

  Even if these people couldn’t compare to Qiao Nan and Zhai Sheng when it came to their concern for Zhai Yaohui and Miao Jing, they wouldn’t be much worse.

  Because of this situation, Qiao Nan naturally preferred to leave the two elders at home so that they were safe than to bring them along. It would be too late for regrets if anything happened to them.

  Zhai Yaohui acknowledged Qiao Nan’s worries and considerations.

  In reality, for the past few years, Zhai Yaohui and Miao Jing had been delegating their powers to Zhai Sheng and Qiao Nan to manage this family.

  Zhai Yaohui had never refuted Qiao Nan’s arrangement. He only gave her silent support and affirmation. It was proven that Qiao Nan managed this family exceptionally well and didn’t disappoint their trust in her.

  Zhai Yaohui was supportive of Qiao Nan’s arrangement this time as well. Knowing that his wife was reluctant to leave the three children, Zhai Yaohui helped Qiao Nan do the thinking for Miao Jing.

  Zhai Hua and Zhai Sheng were already the best examples. No matter how good their grandparents were, they couldn’t compare to their biological parents.

  To let the three children stay by Zhai Sheng’s side would be beneficial to their growth and development.

  Pampering them too much would lead to their failure.

  Miao Jing liked the three children so much. She wouldn’t be willing to see that her love for them harmed them instead, right?

  Based on this point alone, Qiao Nan, who became a mother of three at the age of forty, obviously did a better job than Miao Jing.

  The triplets were the grandchildren Miao Jing yearned for for more than twenty years. They were also the children Qiao Nan yearned for for more than ten years. Qiao Nan would only feel worse heartache than Miao Jing as the triplets were three pieces of meat that fell from her body.

  Even if that was the case, Qiao Nan was never softhearted. She could harden her heart and teach them when they were supposed to be taught and be fierce when she was supposed to be fierce.

  It was only because Qiao Nan was willing that she sent the three children to the early learning center. Otherwise, their children would probably be the only ones in the area who still stayed at home and played with the elders at this age.

  Such a situation wasn’t conducive to the children’s growth. It would even make the children be out of touch with society and times.

  After understanding this point, no matter how uncomfortable Miao Jing felt, Zhai Yaohui could only explain to her time and time again to help her overcome her psychological barriers and nod in agreement.

  To be honest, Zhai Yaohui, Qiao Nan’s father-in-law, had the most credit as he helped Qiao Nan the most and allowed her decisions to be realized one by one.

  After knowing this situation, Qiao Nan felt extremely blessed. Her mother-in-law wasn’t unruly and her father-in-law was more reasonable than her husband.

  Living in such a family, it was really all thanks to her physique that didn’t grow fat that she didn’t gain ten pounds. Otherwise, she would definitely become heavier.

  “Didn’t we talk about this previously? Why are you feeling reluctant again? Even if Qiao Nan lets the three children stay here, we don’t have the ability to take care of them.”
