Chapter 1439 Must Persist
Qiao Dongliang looked so beautiful, as if he was drinking Shiquan Dabu Decoction, which made Sanbao giggle with joy.
Of course, the same goes for Erbao.
Qiao Nan didn't really want her three children to work, she just wanted to cultivate the children's awareness of being filial to their elders. After Erbao touched the bowl and pushed it out a little, Qiao Nan also took the bowl and praised Erbao highly: "The three babies have grown up and are so powerful. Mom is very happy to see them. Okay. Come on, don’t starve your little bellies, try this soup, does it taste good?”
Qiao Nan gave an order, and the three children cheered and gathered around their soup bowls attentively, drinking deliciously. It can be seen that the three children are really hungry. Qiao Nan was fine. Miao Liang and Qiao Dongliang couldn't help but feel sorry for their three children. They were so hungry, yet they had to bear to "serve" soup for them and be filial to them.
Their children are too well-behaved.
Afterwards, Miao Liang, the mother-in-law, did not say anything to Qiao Nan. She believed that Qiao Nan was the mother of three children and she should not interfere too much in how she taught her three children. On the contrary, Qiao Dongliang, the father, later complained that Qiao Nan was too "cruel" towards the three children: "Three children are so young. They can't even lift their own soup bowls, and you still ask them to carry them to us."
Qiao Nan was extremely calm: "Aren't you asking me why you have to work so hard on yourself by bringing out six bowls of soup at once? According to your and my mother-in-law's personalities, if you don't bring out six bowls, the first three bowls must be for the children. I don't want to raise them. It’s their habit to talk about something first, and the elders can only watch from the side. It’s rare that Sanbao is very sensible, and I don’t want them to be spoiled in the future.”
China has some traditions, which in her opinion are quite good.
In ancient times, when eating at the dinner table, the eldest elder would not speak and start eating. No matter how hungry the younger generation was, they could not eat even if they swallowed their saliva. Keep your children first in everything. If there are any good things, only your children will have them, not your elders. Over time, the child's character will of course become overbearing and bad.
Qiao Zijin grew crooked, and her mother "indispensable contribution". First, he favored one over the other, and then instilled some fallacies into Qiao Zijin. In order to bribe Qiao Zijin, her mother made Qiao Zijin prefer her mother. In the summer, when the family bought a watermelon, Qiao Zijin monopolized half of it. When Dad came back, the two elders could only eat two pieces of the remaining half. On the contrary, Qiao Zijin, who had already eaten half of the melon, could still hold a quarter of the melon and continue to nibble.
If her mother hadn't raised Qiao Zijin like this, how could Qiao Zijin feel that everything in the house belonged to her. Everyone in the family should make sacrifices for her.
With three children of her own, Qiao Nan feels that the burden on her shoulders is heavier than that of ordinary parents. She must hold her three children tightly and never let Qiao Zijin's example happen to her children.
Qiao Nan's statement,
Qiao Dongliang couldn't deny it. Nowadays, every household has fewer children. Who doesn’t regard their children as treasures and are afraid that they will feel uncomfortable if they are dropped or bumped? But it was just a matter of who drank the soup first. Qiao Dongliang didn't think it was serious.
But, Qiao Dongliang can count on one hand the number of times he meets Qiao Nan in a year. It was rare for father and daughter to spend some time together, and Qiao Dongliang didn't want to end up in a quarrel with Qiao Nan.
What's more, Qiao Nan is the biological mother of three children. Does Qiao Dongliang still have to worry about Qiao Nan treating her three children badly? Just by looking at how clingy the three children are to Qiao Nan, Qiao Dongliang is certain that Qiao Nan is a better mother than Ding Jiayi.
After confirming this, Qiao Dongliang simply put the matter aside and forced himself not to think about it.
He didn't have the right to talk too much. He had two daughters, one was raised crookedly, and the other was alienated by himself. He hasn't even raised two children well, can he still teach Qiao Nan to raise three children?
On the second day, Qiao Zijin and Zhou Zheng got married and held a wedding banquet. Early in the morning, firecrackers began to crackle in the Peking University courtyard.
Under the sound of firecrackers, Qiao Nan quickly opened her eyes. She had not forgotten what day it was. Look at the three children sleeping beside him, they look like three little pigs, snoring a little. Especially Erbao, lying on his stomach and talking, with his little face being squashed and drooling, and his plump little butt sticking up high, is particularly interesting.
Fortunately, the weather is not cold now, so Qiao Nan prepared another two-meter quilt. Otherwise, if Er Bao sleeps this way, Dabao and San Bao sleeping next to him will easily catch a cold.
If the three children hadn't been unwilling, Qiao Nan would have wanted the three children to sleep on a small bed each and cover themselves with a quilt, just like they did at home.
He is three years old and has gone to school, so he is considered a big child.
Under the teacher's guidance and Qiao Nan's persuasion, San Bao was willing to sleep alone. However, Sanbao's crib was always placed in Qiao Nan and Zhai Sheng's room. The second large bed I originally bought was moved to the guest room.
After covering the three children with quilts, Qiao Nan got up, brushed her teeth, washed her face, and tidied herself up. When she saw the clock on the bedside, it was only half past seven. Even though Qiao Nan is Qiao Zijin's biological sister, Qiao Nan is not willing to go to Qiao's house at this time to marry Qiao Zijin and become Qiao Zijin's natal family.
The wedding note Qiao Nan received stated that the wedding time would be at 10:30 at noon on the 2nd. As long as Qiao Nan arrives on time, the banquet may not be held at this time, but it is already good if it can be held at eleven o'clock.
"Are you up?" Miao Liang got up early too, especially the sound of firecrackers in the North Courtyard. Miao Liang was noisy: "The three children are still sleeping?"
"That's right. We had a lot of fun yesterday. In the past, the three children would have gotten up early at this time, but this time they were so tired that they had no intention of waking up. Mom, what did Auntie prepare for breakfast?" Qiao Nan sat next to Miao Liang and poured a cup of warm boiled water for Miao Liang.
"Porridge, please." Miao Liang said after drinking the water, "It's better to drink porridge in the morning to nourish the stomach."
Qiao Nan was not picky. She would drink whatever Miao Liang said was prepared. Fortunately, the three treasures were also easy to raise. They could eat whatever was prepared at home.
Qiao Nan didn't go upstairs to see the three children until half past seven. At this moment, Sanbao was like a little meat worm, twisting and turning on the bed, humming and humming, as if he was about to wake up. As Sanbao made such a fuss, Dabao and Erbao also started to make some noise, but Qiao Nan caught them by surprise.
Qiao Nan went up and dug Sanbao out from under the quilt: "Sanbao, wake up, the sun is shining on your butt. Mommy will take you to the toilet first, okay?"
