Chapter 1232 Spring Has ArrivedQiao Nan felt that in the family, Zhai Sheng and she were the only people who would be fierce to the triplets.San Bao, who was drooling in her mama’s arms, did not know that her beloved mama had decided to be a strict mother to her in the future.

On the third day since Zhai Sheng and Qiao Nan returned to the capital, Zhu Baoguo came back with Shi Qing as well.

To Qiao Nan’s surprise, the two of them seemed to be somewhat different ever since their trip to Ping Cheng. Zhu Baoguo would steal glances at Shi Qing, while Shi Qing would blush from time to time and stare angrily at Zhu Baoguo before she turned and left.

As soon as Shi Qing left in anger, Zhu Baoguo would definitely follow right after her. He would not stay at the Zhai family’s residence by himself.

Qiao Nan took a deep breath upon seeing this scene. “Spring has arrived.”

Babies would be able to lift their heads when they were three months old, turn when they were four months old, sit upright when they were sixth months old, roll about upon reaching seven months old, crawl starting their eighth month, support to stand when they were nine months old, and walk when they were one year old.

Spring had arrived. Qiao Nan had to go back to school in a few days.

Qiao Nan smiled as she touched the triplets’ strong backs. “In another half a month, they will be able to sit upright.” The triplets might seem light, but their bodies were firm and strong.

“You’re right. They will start to walk in no time.” To Miao Jing, nothing was happier than watching the triplets grew up day by day, turning more and more adorable.

The saying that grandparents doted on their grandchildren was very true.

When Zhai Hua and Zhai Sheng were at a tender age, Miao Jing would go on business trips with Zhai Yaohui. She was not there for her children when they were at a tender age. But with the triplets around, Miao Jing would rather abandon her husband and spend all her time with her grandchildren.

As the grandpa, Zhai Yaohui could not possibly be jealous of his grandchildren. Furthermore, now that there were three babies at home and his daughter-in-law had to go back to school, even if Miao Jing did not bring it up, he felt that it would be better for his wife to stay at home.

His daughter who was out of line was the only person at home. If anything happened to the triplets, she would not be able to decide by herself.

Furthermore, although she seldom spent time at the camp, she still had to report to the camp.

His daughter-in-law had to go to school in the daytime while his daughter had to report to the camp from time to time. If his wife went on business trips with him, there would be no one left at home to take care of the triplets.

Therefore, the Zhai family decided to share the workload.

Qiao Nan gave the triplets each a kiss on their smooth cheeks. She noticed that they seemed to be in a good mood. She took her jacket and changed her shoes. “Mom, thank you for helping me take care of the triplets. I only have lessons in the morning and will be back by noon.” Thankfully, the system in the college was so much different from those of junior high school and senior high school.

It was not really compulsory to attend all the lessons and many students skipped classes.

The students had the freedom to arrange their own timetable.

Otherwise, even if she worked very hard, there was no way for her to arrange her time and timetable such that she could take lessons and take care of the triplets.

Qiao Nan had the busiest time of her life during the first few months when she just gave birth to the triplets.

She was a mother of three and she had to learn how to be a mother and take care of her three children. In the meantime, she had to make sure that she did not lag in her studies and caught up on the lessons that she had missed. There was not a single moment where she could sit back and relax.

She had missed the lessons that were taught in the first half of the semester, but she was able to sit for the final term exams with the rest of the students at the end of the semester.

Qiao Nan had to put in double the work and effort in order to catch up with her classmates.

Thankfully, she had made it through the difficult times.

Qiao Nan sat for the exams for the compulsory subjects, and she also managed to catch up on her studies. She did not lag far behind because of the triplets. Nevertheless, Qiao Nan was slightly displeased that although she had caught up with her studies, she was not able to do as well as she did in the past.

“Happy Lunar New Year.”

“Happy Lunar New Year.”

School had just reopened. Lunar New Year had just passed and the students would still say their greetings when they saw each other in school.

Another year had passed. They had not seen each other for a month. The students now had thick winter clothing on them, but the smiles on their faces were as bright as the sun.

“Junior.” Xu Shengnan looked much more energetic after the new year. She gave Qiao Nan a passionate hug as soon as she saw her. “A year has passed. Although I only have seven days of break, why is it that I have put on two and a half kilograms of weight, but you seem to have lost two and a half kilograms of weight?”

In order to confirm her doubts, Xu Shengnan exerted strength in her arms and lifted Qiao Nan off the floor so that she could have a rough estimate of Qiao Nan’s weight. “You’re definitely lighter than last year. Qiao Nan, tell me, did someone stop you from feasting during the new year? Had I known that, I would have invited you to my house.”

Xu Shengnan knew that Qiao Nan was engaged and that she stayed with her ‘husband’. People would usually put on weight after the new year, but Qiao Nan lost weight instead. Xu Shengnan had reasons to believe that Qiao Nan’s parents did not stand on her side and she did not have a good life at her in-laws’ house. Otherwise, why did Qiao Nan keep losing weight?

Qiao Nan smiled and told Xu Shengnan to let go of her. “Senior, thank you for your concern. But you don’t have to worry for me. It is not that I did not have good food during the new year. It is just that I caught a cold. While other people were feasting, I laid in bed nursing the cold. I had no appetite. I did not lose weight. I just maintain the same weight. As for you, you have indeed put on weight.”

Qiao Nan would not put on weight easily. No matter how much she ate, it would not show on her figure.

Back when she was pregnant, if she did not have triplets, she would not have put on so much weight during her pregnancy.

After she gave birth to triplets, she lost the weight quickly.

The Zhai family prepared a lot of tonics and nutritious food for her. Qiao Nan had a lot of good food in order to provide the triplets with breast milk. In the end, all the nutritious food that she had ended up in her breast milk and was fed to the triplets. That was why they grew to be stronger and healthier.

If she lost any weight, it must be that it was too tiring to take care of the triplets. This was why her face seemed to become smaller.

“I see.” Xu Shengnan believed her words. “It is no wonder that you don’t look good today. You seem pale to me. Have you recovered from the cold?” It was so hard on Qiao Nan. She fell sick during the new year and could not have any good food.

Qiao Nan was surprised that Xu Shengnan believed her words easily. “Don’t worry. It is just a small cold. But you should know that, like the menses, one will take a long time to recover from the cold. I will just have to get used to it. I believe I will feel better in two days.”
