Rebirth to a Military Marriage: Good Morning Chief - Chapter 1476
Chapter 1476: The Old Was Not as Valuable as the Son
As soon as his grandma placed him down, Xiao Bao kicked his short legs and ran toward the Zhai family. “Brothers and sister! Xiao Bao is here to celebrate your birthday!”
The four adults had just gotten out of the car when Xiao Bao was already nowhere to be seen. Mother Tian sighed. “He really likes his brothers and sister.” The children from the Tian family were to be blamed. None of them liked Xiao Bao. Some even openly bullied Xiao Bao and snatched his things away.
If there were smarter children in the Tian family to play with Xiao Bao, how would Xiao Bao have such a good relationship with the triplets from the Zhai family?
“Mom.” Zhai Hua stood next to Mother Tian and prepared to enter the Zhai family with her, unlike her son who didn’t understand or say anything and just left Mother Tian alone to run into the house first.
Indeed, Zhai Hua was not restrained enough and was like a tomboy. However, this didn’t mean that she was unschooled in the ways of the world.
Seeing that Mother Tian looked a little uncomfortable, at least she, as a daughter-in-law, wouldn’t rush to meet her parents and family. Instead, she kept by her mother-in-law’s side obediently and tried to win some brownie points.
“Yes, let’s go in.” Indeed, Zhai Hua looked more like a woman standing by her side quietly. Mother Tian’s face immediately softened as if she didn’t bother with Xiao Bao’s ‘heartlessness’. She entered the Zhai family together with Zhai Hua.
The father and son from the Tian family saw this situation and smiled in relief. Tian Dong said proudly, “I’ve said this long ago. Hua Hua looks like a scatterbrain, but that’s just her appearance. If Hua Hua was really that pure and innocent, even if father-in-law had protected her, she wouldn’t have stayed for a long time and held so many important positions in the army.”
His wife was good at everything. Except for her EQ, which was a little low, there were no issues with her IQ at all.
Father Tian nodded. “One’s your mom, and the other’s your wife. You should understand them clearly and completely. Let’s go. If we walk slower, your precious son would probably cause trouble.” Xiao Bao kept saying that they must not be late to celebrate with the Zhai family’s triplets. Otherwise, they would be unhappy.
This morning, not only did Xiao Bao run to his parents’ room to wake them up, but he even went to his grandparents’ room as well, waking them up with sweet kisses.
When Xiao Bao woke the two of them up, he also said something similar. That was why Father Tian knew why Xiao Bao felt so anxious.
“So be it. Would I be scared?” Who exactly was the father and who was the son?
Father Tian smiled. “How stubborn! If Xiao Bao really cries and no one can coax him, Qiao Nan would coax him. If Xiao Bao cries until his throat becomes hoarse, you can just commit suicide to repay your sins. By then, your mother won’t spare your life and your wife won’t give you good looks.”
Xiao Bao wasn’t just his wife’s precious. Zhai Hua’s love for Xiao Bao would only be more than his wife.
Compared to Xiao Bao, he had never won. His wife had always been biased toward Xiao Bao. Similarly, if Xiao Bao really threw tantrums, he wanted to see if his son could really hold it up and not be defeated by his grandson’s cries.
Tian Dong twitched his lips and helplessly followed the footsteps of Father Tian. He was stubborn, but the truth was the truth.
The truth was if his mom and Zhai Hua were both present, Tian Dong really didn’t have the guts to provoke Xiao Bao. If Xiao Bao cried, his mom was still alright. At most, she would just scold him. However, if he were to fall into Hua Hua’s hands, a layer of skin would have to be removed even if he managed to survive.
“Dad, you’re walking really slowly. Even grandpa is faster than you.” Once they entered the Zhai family’s house, Xiao Bao’s words of disdain traveled into everyone’s ears. “Even great-grandpa walks faster than you. Mom said that you have to exercise with us as well. In the future, you can box with me. You can let great-grandpa teach you. It’s very easy to learn. I’ve learned it as well. You can definitely do so too. After you get a hang of it, your walking speed would definitely be faster than now.”
“…” Tian Dong, whose father had guessed correctly, was speechless. Was this his son? Was this his biological son? How was there a son who criticized his birth father like this?!
“Brothers, sister, happy birthday. Xiao Bao specially chose these. Take a look. Do you like them?” After complaining about the speed his dad walked, Xiao Bao diligently took out the three gifts he had prepared and placed them one by one in front of the triplets. “Remove the wrapper quickly. See if you like them.”
“Thank you, Xiao Bao.” Picking up his own present, Da Bao wasn’t in an especially good mood. However, he felt embarrassed to reject Xiao Bao’s kind intentions. Furthermore, master grandpa’s matters had nothing to do with Xiao Bao. He shouldn’t vent his bad situation on Xiao Bao.
After Da Bao took the lead, Er Bao and San Bao happily picked up their presents. “Xiao Bao, can we remove the wrapper?”
Xiao Bao nodded forcefully. “Please do. If you don’t, how would you know if you like it or not?”
After getting permission, Er Bao and San Bao tore the outer layer of packaging happily. Comparatively, Da Bao, who was the eldest, was more refined. He carefully removed the outer packaging bit by bit.
Upon seeing this situation, most people would compliment Er Bao and San Bao for being real. As for Da Bao, they would say that he was sensible and polite.
However, Zhai Hua found that something was wrong. She touched Qiao Nan with her elbow. “Nan Nan, why do I feel that Da Bao is a little unhappy today? Did he fail his exams, or did you punish him because of something? I don’t mean to say this but today is the triplets’ birthday. If there’s really something, you should put it aside and talk about it another day. You should let the three of them spend their birthdays happily today.” It wasn’t too late to talk about Da Bao’s mistake in the near future.
Qiao Nan forced out a smile. “No, Da Bao is pretty good. He scored 99 in the admission test and came out on top. I guess Da Bao didn’t sleep well last night, thus he didn’t look energetic today. Don’t worry. Children are like that. He’ll be fine after a few days.”
Definitely. She had survived all those hard times. Her days in the future would naturally get better and better.
With her clenched fists, Qiao Nan’s fingernails engraved deep marks on her palms.
