Rebirth to a Military Marriage: Good Morning Chief Novel - Chapter 1360

Chapter 1360: Sly Little Fox

He was not afraid if they were to compare their sons. But Zhu Chengqi and Zhai Yaohui were talking about grandsons. He did not have any grandsons or granddaughters, so he had no way of competing with them.

He stifled the bloody smell in his throat before he took a deep breath. Peng Chunhua had made up his mind. No matter what, he must make sure that his son find a girlfriend, marry, and have children within this year.

He might have a lot to say and make impassionate speeches during the meeting, but whenever the veteran cadres talked about their grandsons, he could only play deaf-mute and hide in a corner, keeping silent while other people were engaged in their conversations.

There was such a marked difference. Peng Chunhua could no longer take it. He had to get a definite answer from his son. He had never felt so embarrassed in any situation in his entire life.

Zhai Yaohui and Zhu Chengqi noted the displeased and awkward look on Peng Chunhua’s face. They smiled at each other tacitly and stopped targeting him. It was enough to make a dig at Peng Chunhua from time to time.

Zhai Yaohui knew more than anyone how upsetting it was to Peng Chunhua when people brought up the topic of grandsons. Two years ago, Zhai Yaohui was in the same predicament. His son only married at the ‘old’ age of twenty-six.

He would face such a situation once or twice a year. Initially, he was able to remain unaffected to the boasting and bragging, and he did not take it to heart.

But as time passed, and he was faced with the same situation for three to four years, one could not help but waver no matter how emotionally strong one was.

Zhai Yaohui felt deeply about this and had the first-hand experience. This was why although Zhai Yaohui could tell that Zhai Sheng was not interested in Qiu Chenxi, he still allowed Qiu Chenxi to visit the Zhai family and be treated as Zhai Sheng’s fiancée.

He would be glad if his son could meet a lady that he liked like how he met Miao Jing. If not, he had to marry a lady of similar status who could bear children for the Zhai family.

Back then, Qiu Chenxi and Qi Minlan used to think that Zhai Yaohui valued his relationship with Qi Minlan, and that was why he liked Qiu Chenxi and wanted her to be his daughter-in-law, not taking his son’s opinions into consideration.

The mother and daughter did not know that Zhai Yaohui was treating Qiu Chenxi as a spare tire.

Zhai Yaohui needed to have a spare tire, and Qi Minlan and Qiu Chenxi happened to be there.

The two of them ended up knowing each other. This was why things were how they were when Qiao Nan first met Zhai Sheng about six to seven years ago.

Zhai Yaohui, who had a similar experience, knew the best way to upset Peng Chunhua and for him to waver. Besides, there was no need for him to do it personally.

Apart from Peng Chunhua, all the people present had grandsons. Other than Zhai Yaohui and Zhu Chengqi, the rest of them would chat about their grandchildren in their leisure time. It was impossible for Peng Chunhua not to be affected by them.

Moreover, the Zhai family had triplets.

This was a blow to Peng Yu as well as Peng Chunhua.

His son was just as good as Zhai Yaohui’s son. But judging from the current situation, he was not certain that he would have a better daughter-in-law than Qiao Nan. Could it be that he would end up having a daughter-in-law that was not as good as Zhai Yaohui’s daughter-in-law?

The son resembled the father.

Peng Yu liked to compare with Zhai Sheng. He must have learned this from his father.

Qiao Nan, who was holding Da Bao in her arms, was at a loss for words when she heard that the Peng family was looking for a ‘suitable’ daughter-in-law. “Why must they be so insistent on finding a lady whose family has a history of multiple births?” Qiao Nan felt amused.

She thought of her situation.

Her grandparents were no longer around. She was not sure if there were twins or triplets in the Qiao family. There were still relatives in the Ding family. Perhaps her maternal grandparents were still around. But Ding Jiayi never mentioned that the family had twins or triplets.

Qiao Nan was thankful that she met Zhai Sheng and she only had one encounter with Peng Yu. When she was in her first year of junior high school, she went to the waste-recycling station during the summer break to buy old books. She did not have any direct contact with Peng Yu.

If there was a day where Peng Yu appeared right in front of Qiao Nan, she would not be able to tell who he was.

If she met Peng Yu instead of Zhai Sheng, Qiao Nan could not imagine how her life would change. After escaping from Ding Jiayi’s and Qiao Zijin’s clutches, she might end up in another abyss.

But then again, on second thoughts, Qiao Nan laughed at herself for thinking too much. Without the Zhai family, she was useless to Peng Yu. If so, Peng Yu would have another set of requirements when he was looking for a wife.

After childbirth, Qiao Nan would have random and peculiar thoughts from time to time. She must be muddled from childbirth.

“Mom, when the triplets turn three years old, should we send them for early childhood education?” The children must be on the same starting line. This was something that Qiao Nan used to hear in the past, but she did not think too much about it back then.

Firstly, she was single. She did not have any children. There was no need to worry that they might start late.

Secondly, she had no money. Even if she had children, it did not concern her either.

She had children and money in this life. She would naturally pay special attention to it.

“Sure. By then, we can have a discussion and decide on a school for the triplets.” Miao Jing had heard of early childhood education. The triplets’ nominal age was two years old, but they were, in fact, one and a half years old. They had to enroll for early childhood education next year. It was better to come to a decision first.

“Hmm…?” The cheeky Er Bao could not really understand what his mama and grandma were talking about.

Qiao Nan put down Da Bao and hugged Er Bao. “Early childhood education means that you will have to go to school. Does Er Bao want to go to school like me?”

Er Bao’s eyes lit up. “Together with mama?”

It did not matter what they did. What was important was the person who was with them!

Miao Jing was amused. “Er Bao, are you really one and a half years old? You seem to be a sly little fox.”

Qiao Nan gave her mother-in-law, who was consumed by laughter, a plaintive glance. “I am about to graduate from college. I won’t need early childhood education. By then, Da Bao and Er Bao will bring your sister with you for class.”
