Rebirth to a Military Marriage: Good Morning Chief Novel - Chapter 1469

Chapter 1469: Fulfilling the Old Man’s Wishes

When Er Bao was naughty in the past, master grandpa didn’t get angry. He even said that boys should be more mischievous, and thus, it was good that Er Bao was like that.

For the past few days, even Er Bao didn’t provoke master grandpa. Why would he suddenly ignore them for no apparent reason?

“How could that be?” Qiao Nan answered Da Bao confidently. “Master grandpa loves the three of you the most. When you were still in my stomach, he hoped every day that you would come out soon so that he could give you this and that and teach you this and that. He said that he wanted to groom you so that you are more outstanding than me. Master grandpa loves all of you, so Da Bao, you can’t doubt him.”

Regardless of the circumstances, even if Qiao Nan and the three children were rejected by Lin Yuankang for the past few days consecutively, she never doubted that Lin Yuankang had treated them with this attitude because he had a change of heart and loathed them.

“Then, what happened to master grandpa?” Regardless of how smart Da Bao was, he was just a seven-year-old child. He didn’t understand. If it wasn’t that master grandpa didn’t like them, why was he unwilling to see them? He missed his master grandpa a lot. Didn’t his master grandpa miss him? “We haven’t seen him for a long time. We miss him.”

“Yes. Mom, master grandpa’s unwilling to see us. Doesn’t he miss us?” San Bao felt depressed as well. She was a girl and was especially favored by Elder Lin. In front of San Bao, he was simply an old man who had no limits when it came to doting on his grandchildren.

However, at this moment, even San Bao wasn’t an exception. He refused to see all of them. San Bao was so aggrieved that she felt like crying.

Qiao Nan felt heavy in her heart. She said with pain, “Don’t worry. Perhaps master grandpa encountered something. He will see you. Also, I feel that even if we can’t see him, it doesn’t mean he can’t see us. Don’t forget that he has a telescope at home. No matter how far we are, he can see us. Maybe when all of you go to school and come home from school, master grandpa had hidden to take a sneak peek at you.” Toward the end, Qiao Nan’s heart twitched painfully.

Some things didn’t have to be spoken in order to be felt.

Even if Qiao Nan didn’t understand the situation a few days ago, based on Elder Lin’s behavior recently and what had happened to Old Master Zhai yesterday night, Qiao Nan already had a hunch.

Qiao Nan knew that Elder Lin couldn’t bear to not see the three children for so many days. The only explanation was that he didn’t let them visit him, but he had hidden and secretly looked at the four of them.

“Why?” San Bao didn’t understand. “If master grandpa wants to see us, he can just do so openly. I will dress up prettily and wear the dress that he gave me. Isn’t that better?” Could it be that she would become prettier if he hid and looked at her?

Qiao Nan’s face turned pale. “That’s because master grandpa is mischievous. He’s even naughtier than the three of you. Even Xiao Bao couldn’t be compared to him. Didn’t I teach you before? If master grandpa throws tantrums, you have to help me coax him. He…” is already old. There’s not much time you could spend with him.

However, toward the end, Qiao Nan’s throat hurt and she couldn’t say the remaining words.

“Mom?” Da Bao’s eyes changed. He stayed close to Qiao Nan and held her hand tightly. He didn’t know how to explain, but after he heard her words, he felt that something bad was going to happen. He was scared.

Qiao Nan hugged Da Bao gently. She slowly stroked his head lightly. “Da Bao, master grandpa loves the way you smile. Da Bao, bring Er Bao and San Bao to change their clothes. Wear something nice, as if you are celebrating the new year. Shall we go and play in master grandpa’s courtyard?”

Da Bao sniffed and his eyes turned red. “Mom, I want to see master grandpa. Is he willing to open the door for us today?”

Qiao Nan forced out a smile and didn’t answer him. However, her attitude had already answered Da Bao’s question.

Da Bao rubbed his eyes and pulled Er Bao and San Bao along to change clothes. When San Bao was changing into a dress, she couldn’t help but ask Da Bao, “Da Bao, what did you and Mom chat about? Why couldn’t I understand?”

Da Bao wore the suit that Elder Lin had given him and frowned. “I didn’t say anything to Mom. I’m the same as you. We both miss master grandpa.”

“Da Bao, why isn’t master grandpa willing to see us?” Until now, Er Bao didn’t understand why master grandpa would behave as such.

Da Bao sighed in distress. “I was born only one or two hours earlier than you. How would I understand more than you? I… Mom said it. Master grandpa likes us. You don’t have to know about the rest. Anyway, we can just dress up nicely and play in master grandpa’s courtyard. He will be happy.”

When they were in school, Da Bao usually wasn’t as lively as Er Bao and San Bao. However, if something happened in class, he was more concerned than Er Bao and San Bao. After listening to it once, he would remember it in his heart.

Coincidentally, one of their classmate’s grandma was ill and passed away. Passed away meant that this person was gone and they couldn’t be seen in the future.

“Oh.”

“Okay.”

Since Da Bao had said so, Er Bao and San Bao no longer asked questions. They listened to Qiao Nan and dressed themselves up.

San Bao wore a dress and she ran to Qiao Nan. She turned in a circle. “Mom, do you think I’m pretty? Every time I wear a dress, master grandpa would compliment me that I’m the prettiest girl in this world. Do you think master grandpa will like it?” Regardless, she liked how she looked now.

“Pretty. Our San Bao is the prettiest when wearing a dress.” Most importantly, her master said before that a girl like San Bao should wear a dress and put on shiny leather shoes. Her hair should be braided and she should be dressed like a butterfly. This was the correct way to raise a girl. “You have put on such a beautiful dress. Let’s go to master grandpa’s courtyard to play. We can’t waste this chance.”

Qiao Nan got the three children to hold hands. She guarded them by walking on the outer side of the road and walked toward the Lin’s residence.

Although the four of them couldn’t enter the Lin family’s home, they could still enter the courtyard. Unlike previous times, they stayed in the courtyard to play and didn’t knock on the door and announce that they were there to visit Elder Lin.

The three children played happily in the courtyard. Er Bao and San Bao were especially hyper.
