Chapter 2094: Presents

After hearing the auntie’s explanation, Miao Jing agreed. “You’re right. Since you guys were on your way back, a matter of a few minutes wouldn’t matter much. So, what did the doctor say? Are Nan Nan and the baby alright?” They should both be fine. In this one month, the entire family had been reading up on how to take care of pregnant women and newborn babies.

It was not at all an exaggeration to say that the entire family had been mobilized. Even Zhai Yaohui, who wore presbyopia glasses, was always carrying a guide for pregnant women. Of course, apart from Qiao Nan, the one in the Zhai family who had been assigned the most ‘tasks’ was Zhai Sheng.

While he was at home, Zhai Sheng had already finished two books, and before he had left, Miao Jing had stuffed another five books in Zhai Sheng’s bag, for fear that he would forget all about his ‘homework’ when he returned to the military. Then, he might just forget about how to take care of Qiao Nan when he returned. As a husband and the child’s father, Zhai Sheng would not only have to master the skills of taking care of a pregnant woman but also those to take care of newborn babies.

As long as Zhai Sheng was at home, he would naturally have to take charge of feeding the baby or changing the baby’s diapers so that Qiao Nan could do her confinement period well.

At the mention of Qiao Nan, all of Miao Jing’s anger subsided. The auntie laughed quietly before announcing. “Madam, the doctor said that Nan Nan and the baby are both well. It’s just that we’ll have to be more careful in the future. When Nan Nan reaches the seventh month of her pregnancy, we’ll have to send her to the hospital.”

Miao Jing stopped in her tracks. “Didn’t you say that Nan Nan and the baby are both well? Why would Nan Nan need to be hospitalized? What’s the problem?” Only pregnant women in poor conditions had to be hospitalized that early on.

“Because…” The auntie smiled as she gazed at Qiao Nan’s stomach. “Because there are three babies in Nan Nan’s stomach, the doctor said that there is a higher risk of premature births with multiple births. Nan Nan is not young anymore and she’s carrying three babies at once, so we’ll have to watch out. It’s just a precaution for Nan Nan to be admitted starting her seventh month…”

“Mom…” Qiao Nan’s expression paled. As soon as the auntie finished her sentence, Qiao Nan could feel Miao Jing’s grip on her tightening before she was dragged backward. It felt as though Miao Jing was about to faint.

Qiao Nan let go of the auntie’s hands and gripped onto Miao Jing firmly. “What’s the matter, Mom? Are you unwell?” Had she waited for them in the sun for too long? Had she gotten heatstroke?

Qiao Nan was so frightened that her face was drained of all color. Miao Jing, who had broken out in cold sweat, shook her head. “Nan Nan, are you alright? Did I hurt you? Is your stomach alright?”

“No, I’m fine, Mom. My stomach is fine too. But Mom, are you having a heatstroke?”

“No, no, no…” It was obviously not a heatstroke. She was simply overwhelmed with joy. “Nan Nan, did the doctor really say that you’re pregnant with three babies?” Miao Jing’s hands trembled, wanting to rub Qiao Nan’s obviously showing belly. However, she did not dare to touch it for fear of alarming Qiao Nan’s three babies.

Three? Three!

Qiao Nan smiled with pursed lips. Because this was not her first time experiencing such joy, Qiao Nan had already recovered from her shock. Qiao Nan retrieved the blurry and dark photograph that she had received along with the medical report. “Mom, look. These are our triplets.”

It was actually a little difficult to identify the three spots. Thankfully, the doctor had already helped Qiao Nan with that in the hospital. Of course, Qiao Nan remembered it well since they were her children. Even with such an abstract photo, Qiao Nan pointed them out clearly to Miao Jing. “Mom, look. This is Da Bao, this is Er Bao, and this is San Bao. They’re our triplets!”

There were three embryo sacs and three heartbeats. This proved that the Zhai family was about to welcome three new lives into their family.

“Aiyo, our children. Our children… They’re growing so well. They look just like you and Zhai Sheng. They look so intelligent. I have to tell your dad about this.” Wow! She was going to become a grandma! She was going to become a grandma to not just one but three children at once!

“Old Zhai, Old Zhai! Our grandchildren! Three! Three…” Miao Jing’s voice could almost be heard throughout the entire quad.

In fact, when the auntie had announced that Qiao Nan was pregnant with triplets, that neighbor, who had been sour, had been dumbfounded.

Three…

The neighbor glanced at Qiao Nan’s stomach. She could not believe that such a skinny person could be carrying three babies in her stomach! She was good at bearing children…

Triplets! They had such good fortune indeed. She could only dream on about having triplets. This lady, who had come from the countryside, might have been a little older and had low educational qualifications, but she was good at bearing children! That was a plus point!

In less than an hour, the news had spread through the quad that the Zhai family’s new daughter-in-law was so impressive and had gotten pregnant with triplets. No matter how they felt about the Zhai family in their hearts, everyone still maintained a good relationship with the Zhai family on the surface. Now that the Zhai family was having grandchildren, and having three at once, everyone had no choice but to congratulate the Zhai family on the news and send some presents over for the children.

After all, the Zhai family had sent them presents as well when they had had grandchildren. It was only polite to reciprocate their kindness.

It was just that even the most worthless things were expensive in today’s society, especially products for babies. Of course, this was not their first time purchasing such items. Everyone had children in their families and there was no way to cut down on such expenses. The only thing that bothered them was that the Zhai family was having three babies at once. It would not matter if they did not send anything, but once they did, they would have to send three sets of everything.

The Zhai family had only sent them one set of presents, whereas they had to send three! Besides, products differed for boys and girls. How would they know which to get?

Before long, the business of maternity shops in the capital was booming due to the Zhai family’s good news. Not only were there many people making purchases, but they were even making large purchases since they had to purchase three sets of everything. Such an event had indeed boosted the economy in the capital.

In the blink of an eye, in less than a day, the Zhai family’s living room was piled up with all sorts of baby products and the entire ground floor of the Zhai family’s house was almost overflowing with presents. “Mom, Dad, why are there so many things? Where shall we put them?”

When others had visited the Zhai family to send their regards, Qiao Nan had never once made an appearance as the main character. After all, pregnant women were the most important, and because Qiao Nan was pregnant with three children, she was even more so important. Of course, it was not good for pregnant women to be caught in crowds. As such, Miao Jing allowed Qiao Nan to rest upstairs while the elderly couple dealt with the visitors.

“It’s fine. It’s true that we should pay more attention given our status, but it’s only right to reciprocate kindness.”
