Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
If Jiajia was around, Zhai Hua would rather hire someone to prepare a table full of dishes than cook herself. If Jiajia wasn’t around, she would order takeout, which was more convenient.
Jiajia didn’t feel that there was anything wrong with what Zhai Hua did.
If there was something delicious, who would be willing to torture one’s mouth and insist on eating food that wasn’t delicious?
Furthermore, Jiajia also knew what her biological mother liked to do.
She had already gotten a divorce and just didn’t like to enter the kitchen. That was nothing, as long as Zhai Hua was living happily.
Jiajia wasn’t picky. Zhai Hua had nothing else to think about. Her old age made it unsuitable for her to return to the army. She might as well do business with her childhood friends and be a rich second-generation heir so that she could earn more money for Jiajia’s dowry. The mother-daughter pair led a comfortable and casual lifestyle.
It was precisely because of this that Zhai Sheng and Qiao Nan encountered this situation when they were at the Zhai family.
If Zhai Hua wasn’t living in the Zhai family, based on the situation that the refrigerator had nothing but water, people would generally suspect if this house was occupied.
“How is it? After living in the capital for a few years, do you feel that the house in Ping Cheng is great?”
Zhai Sheng was complaining that the Zhai family’s house didn’t feel alive after Zhai Hua stayed in it. Zhai Hua retaliated by saying that life in the capital wasn’t as good as in Ping Cheng.
There was no choice. The air quality in the capital was really bad. There were often sandstorms and haze.
Every time she saw such news, Zhai Hua’s first reaction was that her nephews and niece were living in the capital. It was really pitiful for them to live in such an environment at a young age.
The triplets should be able to live and grow up healthily, right?
Zhai Hua had such worries. Jiajia had them too.
It was just that when Jiajia asked such a question, Zhai Hua would retaliate and say, “It isn’t as if there’s no one else living in the capital. The annual rate of newborns in the capital isn’t low. So many children are leading a good life. The children of our Zhai family would only be healthier than those children. Don’t utter nonsense. It’s easy for people to misunderstand them.”
No matter how poor the air quality was in the capital, other people’s children were also children. If they could grow up healthily, why couldn’t their family’s children do the same?
Perhaps they had thought too much and worried too much.
After being comforted by Zhai Hua like this, Jiajia dispelled the thought of wanting to bring her younger siblings back to Ping Cheng.
Qiao Nan had left Ping Cheng for almost three years. During these three years, Qiao Nan pretty much didn’t return.
Zhai Hua found it particularly interesting that the three children were amused by the large grass patch in the Zhai family’s courtyard.
These three chubby children were her brother’s children. Zhai Sheng wasn’t so cute when he was young. He liked to lecture people with a stern face from a young age. She often couldn’t tell who the older sibling was and who the younger one was.
She had to say that it was indeed Zhai Sheng taking care of Zhai Hua most of the time, not Zhai Hua bringing Zhai Sheng out to play.
The scene of the sister-brother pair interacting seemed to be close at hand. In the blink of an eye, her brother’s three children were the same age as them in her memories. Her daughter was already a high school student.
As time passed, people aged. “When are Dad and Mom returning for their retirement?”
Zhai Hua didn’t go to the capital because she knew that Zhai Yaohui and Miao Jing would definitely return to Ping Cheng to live the rest of their lives. After all, fallen leaves return to the roots. Just take Old Master Zhai as an example.
Zhai Hua decided to stay in Ping Cheng and live in the Zhai family’s home so that it would be convenient for her to take care of Zhai Yaohui and Miao Jing in the future.
By then, Zhai Sheng would definitely still be developing himself in the capital with Qiao Nan and wouldn’t return in a few years. That meant that Zhai Hua would be the only person left to take care of Zhai Yaohui and Miao Jing then.
However, Zhai Yaohui and Miao Jing were reluctant to leave the triplets and hadn’t mentioned this topic yet. Zhai Hua didn’t dare to ask them directly. Since Zhai Sheng was here today, there was naturally nothing for Zhai Hua to be polite to her younger brother about. Thus, she asked about Zhai Sheng’s plans.
“Let’s see their decision.”
Zhai Sheng didn’t give Zhai Hua a definite answer. “The big hospital in the capital isn’t bad. Dad and Mom can get better care there. Most importantly, which you should have already guessed, Dad and Mom are reluctant to leave the three children.” The three children couldn’t leave his and Nan Nan’s side.
How would the two elders, who were reluctant to leave their three grandchildren, be willing to stay in Ping Cheng for the rest of their lives? They delayed the situation year after year, saying that they would see how things went. Until today, there wasn’t a conclusion.
Zhai Hua held her head with her hand. Seeing how Qiao Nan was rushing in and out of the kitchen, the empty house became more alive instantly because of the addition of Zhai Sheng’s family. “I’ve already guessed that Dad and Mom probably don’t want to return. Thankfully, you’re lucky to have married such a good wife like Nan Nan. Until now, she didn’t mention that she would go out and find a job. With her around, even if Dad and Mom want to stay in the capital for the rest of their lives, both of us could feel at ease.”
The Zhai family’s situation fulfilled the condition that there were both the young and old at home.
Elders like Zhai Yaohui and Miao Jing couldn’t be separated from the care of juniors.
If the elders encountered any situation, they had to have relatives by their side to take care of them and deal with all matters. Also, children like the triplets couldn’t be separated from the care of adults at all.
With the old and the young, Qiao Nan really couldn’t go out to work and try another lifestyle that was more self-centered.
If not for Qiao Nan being a good daughter-in-law, the people suffering now would have been Zhai Hua and Zhai Sheng.
The better and more filial Qiao Nan was, the more energy Zhai Hua and Zhai Sheng could save.
Seeing Qiao Nan’s busy back view, Zhai Sheng’s gaze was gentle and carried with it strong emotions. “I’ve always known that marrying Nan Nan is my greatest blessing in this lifetime. I don’t need you to remind me.”
Zhai Hua didn’t need to remind him how much Qiao Nan had sacrificed for him and this family. Zhai Sheng knew it clearly in his heart.
With Qiao Nan as his wife, even if they had been married for thirty or three hundred years, he wouldn’t feel bored or tired with their couple life, let alone that they were married for only three years now.
Regarding their married life, the only thing he felt was panic. Time passed by day after day and was irreversible. This also meant that he had less time to spend with Qiao Nan.
Sometimes, Zhai Sheng uncharacteristically snatched Qiao Nan from the three children as he was influenced by this situation.
Everyone’s time was limited. In the face of limited time, Zhai Sheng cherished every minute and second of his married life with Qiao Nan.
“Mom, I want to eat fruits!”
Zhai Sheng couldn’t do without Qiao Nan, his wife.. The three children couldn’t do without her, their mom.
