Chapter 1177 Hard Work

Since they had three babies, the hard work was tripled as well. No matter how anxious the Zhai family was, they could change nothing.

The Zhai family and Qiao Nan felt that it was better to breastfeed the babies so that they could grow up strong and healthy.

The three babies might have breast milk, but Qiao Nan, the mother, would have to suffer.

In order to feed the babies and ensure that Qiao Nan was in good health, Miao Jing and the auntie tried means and ways to make sure that she had good food and nutrition.

Perhaps Miao Jing and the auntie had taken good care of Qiao Nan. After the latter completed her confinement, her weight was two thousand five hundred grams lighter than her usual weight and she did not lose any more weight.

Qiao Nan was able to provide enough milk for the three babies who had just turned one month old.

When the Zhai family celebrated the one-month-old birthday for the three babies, all the guests who were invited were amazed when they saw the fresh-looking, slender young lady who stood next to Miao Jing, carrying a smile on her face.

As for the elders in the Zhai family, each of them held a chubby baby in their arms.

Qiao Nan was well-nourished and she had sufficient milk, and the three babies were provided with enough nutrients while they were in her womb. After one month of confinement, the babies looked chubby and fair. Their hands clenched into round fists and they smelled especially nice. They were adored by everyone.

Triplets!

It was rare to see twins and even triplets!

Back then, many of the guests heard that the Zhai family’s daughter-in-law did not have an illustrious background, and they mocked the Zhai family for being arrogant.

Influential and powerful families had to build ties through marriage in order to become stronger.

The Zhai family was too proud of oneself and they would suffer defeat one day.

If there was a day when Zhai Yaohui was being targeted by others, the Zhai family would have no one to seek help from. If that happened, everyone would laugh their heads off.

Many of them laughed at the Zhai family for making such an irrational and foolish decision. But they lost their smiles when they saw the three adorable babies. They could no longer look down on Qiao Nan or mock the Zhai family for being ignorant and arrogant.

It was a blessing to have many children.

As the elders, be it in the past or now, they hoped to have more children at home.

But the national policy forbade them from having more than one child.

The Zhai family’s daughter-in-law did not come from a rich family, but she was smart and she was the top student in the college entrance examination. Now, she was a student at Peking University and she was awarded the first-prize scholarship.

Judging from her performance, everyone knew that Qiao Nan might have not come from an illustrious family, but she had her positive traits as well.

Furthermore, she had given birth to two boys and one daughter.

Everyone hoped to have a daughter-in-law like her.

Sigh…

The Zhai family had an addition of three members to their family. They looked pretty and handsome. The Zhai family had a good family upbringing and the mother was a student at Peking University. It was likely that the three children would be taught well and they would do well in the future. If that was the case, their own children would not be able to match up to them.

Many of the guests who were present could not help but have this thought in mind.

It was likely that the children would be successful in the future. Moreover, they were triplets. They would be able to help and support each other in the future.

If the three children were successful in the future, it would bode well for the Zhai family as well!

Many of the guests began to feel gloomy at the thought of that.

It was difficult to find such a good and outstanding lady who would bring triplets to the family. It was a pity that she was not their daughter-in-law.

Everyone hoped to have more children at home!

Many of the guests were envious at the sight of the triplets. Judging from the numbers alone, the Zhai family was the winner.

If the triplets were as outstanding as Zhai Sheng and Zhai Hua, the Zhai family would be prosperous in the future and it would be due to the daughter-in-law that they had.

It made a lot of difference to have the right daughter-in-law!

It could be said that the triplets, their mother, as well as the Zhai family were in the limelight that day.

The Zhai family only had a small gathering to celebrate the one-month-old birthday of the triplets. They did not intend to throw a grand celebration. However, they did not expect that so many guests would turn up, including the Feng family who arrived with gifts.

They kept trying to find ways to talk to Qiao Nan, intending to get close to her.

But there were too many guests on that day. When Qiao Nan first came to the capital for her college studies, the Feng family might feel that their family was more well-to-do than Qiao Nan’s family and that they were far more superior than Qiao Nan.

However, it was a different case now. People who associated with Qiao Nan were more powerful and influential than the Feng family. The Feng family paled in comparison.

Qiao Nan had a good temper and did not bear grudges. She did not give the Feng family the harsh treatment. She merely treated them as to how she would in the past, with aloofness as if she did not know them at all.

Once the one-month-old birthday celebration for the triplets was over, Qiao Nan would have to return to school.

If she had lessons, Qiao Nan would be at school for the entire day.

But that did not mean that the triplets could go hungry. Instead, they had to be fed twice in the morning.

Thankfully, Qiao Nan had asked Zhu Chengqi to purchase breast pumps from overseas on her behalf.

The times were not as advanced now. One would not be able to find good breast pumps on the market. Even if one managed to purchase it, it would not be as effective as it would be decades later.

To be honest, Qiao Nan did not have a high expectation that Zhu Chengqi would be able to find the type of breast pumps that she wanted. What she had in mind would only be available decades later.

Luckily, he managed to find similar alternatives and Qiao Nan was able to extract excess milk and store them in the refrigerator.

Even though they could not store the milk for long, it was good enough for the Zhai family.

Qiao Nan only needed to ensure that while she was in school, there was enough milk at home to feed the triplets.

In the case of other families who only had one child, extracting excess milk would mean that they could leave it for future use. But in the Zhai family, it was lucky that they had enough for the triplets.

The milk that Qiao Nan prepared was only sufficient to last the triplets for a day.

“Nan Nan, is there a need to push yourself to the extreme?” Zhai Hua looked at Qiao Nan, feeling conflicted. She was slightly upset that the triplets were so young but Qiao Nan insisted on going to school, and the triplets had to suffer because of her absence.

But Zhai Hua also knew that the person who suffered the most was not the triplets, but Qiao Nan. “Do you intend to drain yourself of all the milk?” She suspected that Qiao Nan had taken special food to produce lots of milk.

When she was at home, Qiao Nan would hold the triplets in her arms as she fed them. They would drink the milk to their hearts’ contents.

After the triplets were full, Zhai Hua would hold one of them in her arms. She could feel that his stomach was round and it was obvious that he was full and satisfied.
