This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
Yes, after San Bao woke up, she first realized that she was ‘blind’. Then, she heard a lot of strange noises outside which she had never heard before back in their own house. The timid San Bao started sobbing.
If not for Zhai Sheng preparing a flashlight in advance such that San Bao could see the light, no one else would probably be able to calm San Bao’s frightened heart.
“…”
After knowing the reason why San Bao cried, Qiao Nan and Zhai Sheng could neither laugh nor cry. How were they going to explain this to their daughter?
After thinking for a while, Qiao Nan coaxed San Bao and said, “Don’t be afraid. There’s wind outside, so there are some whirring sounds. This is the mountain. Didn’t San Bao see a lot of animals on TV in the past before? This mountain has these animals as well. They came out in the night to find food as they were hungry. Is San Bao afraid of them?”
“Little squirrels?” San Bao blinked with tears on her eyelashes. She tilted her head and asked in a cute manner.
“Yes, there are little squirrels. There are also woodpeckers that help Grandpa Tree catch worms. Dududu.”
“Yes, dududu.” San Bao became excited as she had indeed heard such a sound. “Is Doctor Woodpecker seeing Grandpa Tree?”
Qiao Nan told this story to the three children before. Thus, San Bao remembered it now.
“Yes, San Bao’s smart.”
“Why didn’t he see Grandpa Tree in the day? Why does it have to be at night? We are all sleeping. By doing so, he scared San Bao. What a bad doctor.” San Bao pouted and expressed her dissatisfaction.
Qiao Nan laughed. “There’s no choice. In the day, people would hit them. It’s only safe for them to come out at night.”
“Hit them?” How would San Bao understand the concept of poaching?
“Yes, bad people hit them. Thus, it’s safe for them to come out only at night. San Bao, are you still afraid? Let’s not disturb Doctor Woodpecker from seeing Grandpa Tree. Shall I hug you to sleep?”
“Okay.” After knowing that those strange noises outside were produced by the animals, San Bao was no longer scared. She grabbed her mom’s clothes with one hand and her long hair with the other so that she could smell her mom. San Bao yawned and closed her eyes. She was about to fall asleep.
To Zhai Sheng, the whisperings between the mother-daughter pair were like a serenade. When he heard his daughter’s heavy breathing again, Zhai Sheng knew that she was asleep again.
What made Zhai Sheng thankful was that his sons were still sons. San Bao kicked up a fuss in the middle of the night. However, Da Bao and Er Bao had no intention to wake up. They were still sound asleep.
After confirming that San Bao was no longer kicking up a fuss, Zhai Sheng tilted his body and looked at Qiao Nan. “Are you thirsty? Shall I pour you a cup of water?”
The environment in the mountain wasn’t as convenient as outside, especially in aspects like toilets. This was what Qiao Nan was not used to the most. As such, after hearing Zhai Sheng’s question, Qiao Nan shook her head. “It’s fine. Even if I’m thirsty, I’ll drink tomorrow. It’s getting late. Let’s sleep. Otherwise, we won’t have enough energy tomorrow.”
San Bao was really funny. After waking up and realizing that she couldn’t see anything, she thought that she had become blind.
The children knew what being blind was. They must have learned it when watching TV previously.
Thankfully, the children watched Animal Planet. When Qiao Nan talked about it and once San Bao understood, she immediately stopped feeling afraid and could fall asleep. Otherwise, once San Bao cried, Qiao Nan and Zhai Sheng would have to coax her for a while.
“Brother Zhai, why don’t we keep the flashlight on? San Bao’s already like this. What if Da Bao and Er Bao are scared as well?”
If some light was emitted from the flashlight, at least Da Bao and Er Bao wouldn’t be as frightened as San Bao if they woke up in the middle of the night.
After glancing at his heartless sons who were sleeping soundly, Zhai Sheng said, “There’s no need to. We walked so much today. The three children are already tired. San Bao’s a girl. She woke up as she’s more sensitive. When they were at home, they rarely woke up in the middle of the night. These two sons wouldn’t cry. Let’s sleep.”
Then, he switched off the flashlight. Zhai Sheng held Qiao Nan’s hand firmly and fell asleep with their hands on Er Bao’s body.
To the tough Er Bao, there was a sense of security if his dad’s or mom’s hand was on his body.
However, when both parents placed their hands on him, he felt that they were a little heavy. As such, Er Bao slept the entire night with his eyebrows slightly frowned.
His biological mother was still pretty nervous about this. However, it was a pity that his biological father didn’t care.
As their parents’ relationship got better, they, their biological children, couldn’t escape from the fate of being forced to look at their public display of affection. Compared to others, the only difference was that they were too young and didn’t understand what public display of affection was.
When they grew up, as singles who couldn’t fall in love too early but were forced to see their parents display affection publicly, they would know what was the meaning of unbearable.
The Zhai family of five spent their first night in the mountain like that.
When Qiao Nan woke up the next morning, she realized that her husband and children were not around. She was the only one still sleeping.
Qiao Nan perked up her ears. Zhai Sheng seemed to be getting their three children to brush their teeth. “Open your mouth and slowly brush up and down…”
To be honest, it was too difficult to get two-year-olds to brush their teeth themselves.
Children generally hated brushing their teeth. The triplets were considered good-tempered. When the adults were helping them brush their teeth, they tried their best not to resist. The problem was when the little toothbrushes were placed in their chubby hands. They stared at the toothbrushes and struggled. How were they going to brush their teeth?
When Qiao Nan came out, she saw her three children looking troubled. They were so cute.
The usually bright Er Bao was awesome. Based on his previous habit, he opened his mouth and placed his toothbrush inside. He directly placed the toothbrush on his tongue instead of his teeth. It was estimated that only Er Bao knew it in his heart if he was brushing his teeth or preparing to eat toothpaste.
“Er Bao, that’s wrong.” Qiao Nan took Er Bao’s hand softly and said, “Ah.”
Er Bao was very used to saying ‘ah’. Qiao Nan started to help Er Bao brush his teeth.
Once Da Bao and San Bao saw their mom come out and that she was already helping Er Bao brush his teeth, the two of them were clever to stop whatever they were doing. They could save a lot of effort if their mom helped them after helping Er Bao.
Qiao Nan didn’t have high expectations of the children. As two-year-olds, they were already very obedient as they were willing to cooperate with the adults to brush their teeth. It was too difficult for them to learn how to brush their teeth themselves now.
The couple split up the work. Qiao Nan helped the three children brush their teeth while Zhai Sheng helped them wash their faces.
