Chapter 1216 Brilliant Learner
At the very least, there was some good news during the Lunar New Year. Wasn’t that good enough?
“Do you feel more at ease now?” It was seldom that Zhai Sheng had time for the family. He mischievously turned the triplets one by one and laid them on their tummies on the bed like small tortoises.
Da Bao turned over impatiently after taking a glance at Zhai Sheng. His actions were swift, agile, smooth, and consecutive without any moment of pause.
Zhai Sheng’s eyes lit up at the sight of this. It was no wonder the old master often mentioned to him that both Da Bao’s and Er Bao’s physiques were excellent. Certainly, they were born to be soldiers. They were just a few months old and they already had the style of a soldier when turning their bodies.
When Da Bao and Er Bao grew up, he should find a chance to ‘dump’ them into the army camps frequently and get someone to give them proper training. After Da Bao and Er Bao took over his duties in the army, he could retire early and stay by Nan Nan’s side then.
He had just taken over Zhai Yaohui’s duties and was already plotting on his biological sons, hoping that his sons would grow up to become very successful in the future and take over his position. By then, like his father now, he could take on more relaxing duties and bring his wife by his side every day to show off their love.
“What are you doing?” Bam! Qiao Nan patted the back of Zhai Sheng’s mischievous hand.
Zhai Sheng was flipping the triplets as if he were cooking pancakes. He made them lie down side by side, as if they were three pancakes. When he flipped his hands, one by one, the triplets would turn their bodies and lay on their respective tummies.
The triplets seemed to hate the position of lying on their tummies. Hence, they preferred to rely on their own effort to turn over so that their limbs would face the sky. They would then prop their tiny legs high up in the air, hold and pull them into their mouths before chewing. The triplets had the same habit for this.
Each time the triplets turned on their own before their tiny chubby hands could grab hold of their little short legs. Their sights would turn fuzzy. When their father’s big hands left their bodies, again, they would be lying on their tummies instead of backs.
The faster the triplets turned, the faster Zhai Sheng ‘tortured’ them. He seemed to have become an experienced pancake chef. Flip! Flip! Flip! Within seconds, the triplets had been turned over again by their heartless father.
The count increased, but Da Bao was good at keeping his temper in check. As if he was at odds with his biological father, he would flip over like an agile little fish as soon as Zhai Sheng turned him.
Er Bao…
The dramatic Er Bao’s temper was not as good as his elder brother’s. When Zhai Sheng’s hand reached toward him again, his eyes lit up. He opened his mouth, twisted his neck, bit Zhai Sheng’s hand, and held on to it with his bite.
Er Bao had just started teething and there were only tiny edges of baby teeth in his mouth. Of course, there was no lethality in his bite at all. Zhai Sheng only felt the softness of his mouth. It only felt a little hard but there was not much strength.
Zhai Sheng insisted on flipping, and like a little puppy, Er Bao refused to let go of his bite. His two tiny hands pulled the collars of Zhai Sheng’s shirt. He looked like a koala and Zhai Sheng’s hand was a branch to him. Er Bao simply leaned on it such that Zhai Sheng could not flip him over.
This tactic was not only dramatic but rogue and brilliant.
As for San Bao, she was more impatient and pampered. As the only girl in the family, this was completely understandable.
From the old master, this great-grandfather, Lin Yuankang, this grand master, as well as Da Bao and Er Bao, her two elder brothers, all of them doted on and gave in to San Bao all the time.
Today, a bad guy who dared to bully San Bao, this little princess, actually appeared. “Waa!” San Bao opened her tiny mouth without any reservation and cried out loud.
“What happened? What happened? Why did San Bao cry?” As soon as the old master heard his great-granddaughter cry so miserably, he dashed up to the second floor without a word. Clearly, he was not young anymore and could not be bothered to climb up the stairs. He had always been living on the first floor. Unfortunately, the old master’s sharp ears could tell that the crying noise belonged to San Bao. He rushed into his grandson and granddaughter-in-law’s room like a knight to save San Bao, the little princess. “Zhai Sheng, how old are you now? You’re bullying San Bao. Isn’t San Bao your biological daughter? She is only four months old!”
After giving his grandson, whom he had always been proud of, a harsh scolding, Old Master Zhai, who already had a change of heart, glared at Zhai Sheng a few times boldly and righteously. His heart was aching as he carried San Bao into his arms. Old Master Zhai, who was used to speaking in a loud voice, changed his usual burly image and asked San Bao in a low and gentle voice, “San Bao, don’t cry. Great-grandpa has helped you teach your father a lesson. Well, he’s the one who bullied others. San Bao, don’t cry. Great-grandpa loves you. ”
In order to appease San Bao, Old Master Zhai simply gave Zhai Sheng’s body a few slaps.
Old Master Zhai did not use a lot of strength. Judging from the sound, it was not painful. To Zhai Sheng, this kind of strength was not any different from dusting the dirt.
It was not painful but embarrassing and unbearable.
Once again, Zhai Sheng deeply realized how quickly his status in the family was falling after the triplets were born. The old master, who favored him so much previously, had also betrayed him and surrendered to the triplets. He was confounding right and wrong. This family situation could not be reversed anymore!
Qiao Nan put her arms around Da Bao and Er Bao, who had a tough time being flipped. She seemed to be making up to them when she gave each of them a hard kiss on the face.
After receiving their mama’s kiss, Da Bao and Er Bao’s faces immediately turned bright. They opened their little mouths and smiled like sunflowers as they lay their soft and chubby bodies in their mama’s arms. One on each side, the two babies conquered their mama’s arms fully. The two brothers did not even need to squeeze or push each other.
Zhai Sheng’s face turned black. He went behind Qiao Nan, reached out his hands, and wrapped Qiao Nan, Da Bao, and Er Bao into his arms. “The old master dotes on San Bao very much?” When he was a child, the old master did not seem to have carried him very often. He heard that his father also had the same treatment. However, it was a little different when it came to San Bao.
“The old master is good to all of them. He not only likes to carry San Bao but also Da Bao and Er Bao. However, San Bao is a girl. Inevitably, the old master will dote on her more. You are also aware that San Bao is very impatient. If anyone provokes San Bao and makes her cry, how can the old master not feel anxious?”
Currently, crying was the only effective weapon that the triplets had to lure the adults’ attention. This was such that the adults could seek justice on their behalf and bully back those people who bullied them.
San Bao, especially, would cry very quickly whenever someone bullied her. Moreover, she would sound extremely miserable and sorrowful.
At the sound of San Bao’s cries, a suspicion suddenly came to Qiao Nan’s mind. Why did she feel that San Bao’s cries increasingly resembled those of Er Bao?
Given this kind of cries from San Bao, the old master would start to coax San Bao before he could even clarify the matter. Regardless of what happened or who had provoked San Bao, he would give the initiator a bad scolding first to help San Bao vent her anger before discussing the rights and wrongs of the matter.
