Rebirth to a Military Marriage: Good Morning Chief - Chapter 2178

Chapter 2178: “Good-Looking”

She only had a faint impression of it. When she was carrying her first child, she ate too well, causing Zhai Hua to grow big in her stomach. She only gave birth to her after a long time. After having the experience of the first child, Miao Jing didn’t dare to nourish herself that well anymore when she was pregnant with Zhai Sheng. Indeed, the process of giving birth to Zhai Sheng was much smoother.

Since Miao Jing didn’t want to mention it and Old Master Zhai, who knew what happened back then, was no longer around, Zhai Yaohui naturally couldn’t get his answer. Seeing that Miao Jing was staring at the triplets so diligently, Zhai Yaohui looked over as well. He saw for himself three red and wrinkly children who liked to curl up and sleep like a mouse. Zhai Yaohui’s lips twitched and he said against his conscience, “Pretty… pretty good-looking.”

If he didn’t remember wrongly, Zhai Hua and Zhai Sheng were both fair-skinned and chubby when they were young, like round steamed buns. Could it be that his grandchildren looked so ugly because they were triplets?

Qiao Dongliang didn’t want to think of Ding Jiayi at this time. This was because when Ding Jiayi gave birth to their first child, Qiao Zijin, back then, she washed her face with tears every day and said that she was a letdown for not having given birth to a son. When she gave birth to their second child, Qiao Nan, Ding Jiayi couldn’t wait to leave her alone. She didn’t even want to breastfeed Qiao Nan. If not for milk powder being too expensive back then and it wasn’t as economical as breast milk, Qiao Dongliang felt that Ding Jiayi might not be willing to even hug Qiao Nan.

They were all men. Miao Jing didn’t understand the doubt in Zhai Yaohui’s eyes but Qiao Dongliang did. “Children are like that when they were just born. One or two months later after they are well-fed, they will look good. The skin of newborns is redder. A few days later, they would become more fair-skinned. When Nan Nan was born, she was like that as well.”

Look at how fair-skinned Nan Nan was now. On the contrary, when Zijin was born, she wasn’t that red. When she grew up, she wasn’t as fair-skinned as Nan Nan.

“That’s right. The redder the skin of the newborn, the more fair-skinned they would be when they grow up. The skin of our three grandchildren is so red. They would definitely look as good as their mom when they grow up. Old Zhai, these two are our precious grandsons and this one is our precious granddaughter.” If not for the three grandchildren had to be placed in the nursery room and parents couldn’t walk around, how could she bear to let them be inside? After waiting for so many years, she couldn’t wait to carry them.

“Is that so?” Zhai Yaohui was really unsure about this. “Then, they would definitely be good-looking in the future.” The genes were there. The people of the Zhai family were always tall. Qiao Nan was good-looking as well. As the children of Zhai Sheng and Qiao Nan, they would definitely not look much worse in the future.

Qiao Nan didn’t know what had happened after giving birth. Before she fainted, she only faintly heard the cries of the babies. Then, she lost consciousness. When Qiao Nan woke up, it was already the next day. She couldn’t help but frown at the pain in her stomach.

Zhai Sheng was naturally the first to realize that she had moved. “Nan Nan, how are you? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?” Seeing that Qiao Nan finally woke up, Zhai Sheng heaved a sigh of relief. Thankfully, after Nan Nan was pushed out of the operating theatre, aside from being unconscious, everything else was normal.

“Hiss…” Qiao Nan sucked in a breath of cold air. Compared to her dream, she suffered an extra knife to the stomach. It must be uncomfortable. “My stomach hurts a little. The anesthetic has passed, so the pain is inevitable. Where are the children? There’re three of them, right? Is it two sons and one daughter?” In this lifetime, she fainted before learning about her children’s gender.

However, Qiao Nan believed that since she had given birth to three children, they must be the cute triplets in her dream.

“…” Zhai Sheng hesitated for a while. Qiao Nan didn’t know because she had fainted. Zhai Sheng placed all his attention on Qiao Nan. As such, he was really unsure if their children were two boys and one girl.

“Yes, it is.” Thankfully, Miao Jing appeared at the right time and helped Zhai Sheng out. “Nan Nan, you didn’t see how good-looking they are. When the nurse gave them a bath, I saw it. They cried as loudly as other children. One look at them and it was obvious they are healthy. A lot of people said that you could really give birth as the triplets were born so healthily.”

After knowing that the lightest child weighed about a kilogram, which was half the weight of their grandson, Miao Jing once again expressed that Qiao Nan was formidable. Perhaps, women who were mothers were powerful.

Their Zhai family had grandchildren. Three grandchildren. In the past, she didn’t care about other people’s children. Now, there was even less need for her to be envious. She had three grandchildren.

Qiao Nan smiled. She and Zhai Sheng hadn’t changed. Thus, the triplets hadn’t changed either. Such a feeling was great. “Mom, are the three children well?”

“Yes, extremely well.” Nothing was better than this. “Nan Nan, since you’re awake, drink some soup. It has been tough on you this time around. We must nourish your body well. After giving birth, you’ve lost the flesh on your body and become so skinny. It will be even tougher for you to take care of the triplets in the future. This wouldn’t do. Don’t worry. During your confinement period, the auntie and I will think of ways so that you become chubby. Oh, right. You gave birth to triplets. I asked the doctor and it’s safer for you to undergo two months of confinement instead.”

It wasn’t easy to give birth to triplets.

It was best to recuperate one’s body through the confinement period.

It had been tiring this time around. One naturally had to be more attentive toward Qiao Nan’s confinement compared to other pregnant women’s. Miao Jing specially approached the doctor for a complete recipe list. It was stated clearly what was good for mother and child, what was suitable for a woman in confinement to eat, and how to prepare these items. This allowed the Zhai family to take good care of Qiao Nan.

“Two months of confinement?” Qiao Nan, who already had the confinement experience once, more or less closed off her heart to this. “There’s no need for two months. Forty days should be sufficient.” In her dream, it seemed that she had to undergo two months of confinement as well.

In her dream, Qiao Nan gave birth to the triplets in summer. It was conceivable how terrible it was to undergo confinement in summer. Now, Qiao Nan had to undergo confinement in winter. It didn’t seem as bad as her dream. However, it was still uncomfortable to be in confinement. After suffering such a ‘sin’ once, Qiao Nan felt that it was good to save as many days as possible from confinement. If thirty days were too little, then let it be forty days. Anyway, she couldn’t stand sixty days.
