Although Zhai Sheng knew nothing about a delicate act like brushing one’s teeth, he was fortunately still able to wash his children’s faces.
“Here, wipe your faces.” Seeing the triplets’ clean faces, Qiao Nan was overjoyed. She landed a kiss on each of their faces before helping them apply some lotion.
The three children obediently raised their heads and kissed Qiao Nan, replying, “Thank you, Mom!”
Zhai Sheng, who had also finished washing his face, turned his back to his children and leaned down toward Qiao Nan.
There was no reason for him to not receive the same treatment as his children. Even the stingiest person wouldn’t do so.
Zhai Sheng had gradually gotten used to competing with his children. Qiao Nan smiled but did not utter a word. As expected, she meticulously applied lotion on Zhai Sheng’s face just as she had done with the children.
Qiao Nan knew that Zhai Sheng had grown up being raised by Old Master Zhai. Even Zhai Hua hadn’t received such treatment when she was young, let alone Zhai Sheng.
Qiao Nan had already heard about the saying that one would have to raise a son when getting married.
But compared to other husbands, her husband was already much better. Zhai Sheng would only act in a childish manner when fighting for Qiao Nan’s affection and priority.
Other than that, Zhai Sheng was a good husband who supported her entire world and shielded her from all trials and tribulations.
San Bao nudged Er Bao before scratching her face. Stupid Dad!
Humph! He was always bullying them! Did he really think that they didn’t know anything? Grandma had already said that they were still young and needed help from adults in many things.
Their stupid father was already old enough. He was even older than their mom! Why did he need their mom’s help in so many things? How shameful! She would never get her mom to help her out in things that she could do on her own. She was even better than her dad!
Er Bao giggled and hugged San Bao, seemingly praising her for being obedient. Much more obedient than their dad.
Sigh. They had no other choice. With a father like that, the three children had to be obedient and work hard to help their mom out in any way possible.
They would do whatever their dad should have done.
Knowing that he had to be a filial son, Er Bao already understood the meaning of filial piety at a young age.
Da Bao stole a glance at Er Bao and San Bao as he munched on a snack. Both Er Bao’s and San Bao’s ideas were still immature. As children, what they had to do now was to have their fill of food and grow up quickly. Only then would they be helping their mom out.
Helping their mom out wasn’t as easy as just saying so.
With such a thought, Da Bao started eating even more quickly. That was his most important mission at the moment.
He would have to take care of Er Bao and San Bao in the future. His parents would have to rely on him too. He alone would have to take care of four people. Yes, he had to eat more to grow as tall and muscular as his dad.
“Are you full?” Qiao Nan had almost had her fill and only asked the children after they had been eating for quite a while.
The three children nodded obediently, showing that they were full.
“Alright. Shall we go visit your siblings?”
Qiao Nan hadn’t forgotten her main purpose of bringing the children here.
The three children had never met any elder brothers, but they had a good elder sister, Jiajia. The moment they heard the words ‘siblings’, the triplets’ eyes lit up in excitement.
“Hello, here are the students from our school. It’s really not easy for them to come to school every day.”
The teacher of the school was grateful yet nervous that there were Samaritans who wanted to help their school.
The teacher would even forgo his own meals so that the children would have enough to eat and grow up healthily.
But his efforts alone were insufficient. What he managed to squeeze out was nothing compared to what the children living on this mountain needed.
These children would only have a different future if more people cared about them and supported them with their money and effort.
When the teacher had heard that this person had a special status, he thought that the person would simply leave after taking a look around. But he had heard that this person had not only taken a look around but had even stayed the night to observe the school’s situation today!
As a teacher in the school, he had a good understanding of the situation here.
It seemed extraordinary that someone of such high status, who was used to living in the city, had endured the poor conditions and stayed the night.
At the same time, the teacher could feel Qiao Nan’s sincerity toward the children.
“Teacher Zhou, don’t worry. I’ve already read through the information on the village. I’ve also walked around the school. I’ll do my best to help these children.”
She was a mother herself. As such, it was only natural that Qiao Nan felt heartbroken when she saw the ragged clothes on the children. Even clothes that people normally threw away looked better than those they were wearing.
“Didn’t you say that the children have lunch in school every day? Can you let me see your menu?”
As Qiao Nan understood the situation more, she realized just how many children in society didn’t have proper meals or clothes.
Qiao Nan had thought that she was an exceptional case for having met a mother like Ding Jiayi, who starved her and ill-treated her. Who would have known that malnutrition was nothing out of the ordinary out here?
Sigh…
Qiao Nan sighed sorrowfully. “The children are still so young. If they don’t eat well, they won’t be able to grow up healthily.”
The moment Teacher Zhou heard that, tears welled up in his eyes. “We have no other choice. The conditions here are too poor. We don’t have much resources in the mountains, and it’s difficult for outsiders to get in contact with us either. Besides, we really don’t have any extra cash. It’s not just lunch for the students. Even their learning materials… Look at how the students are still using such short pencils because they can’t afford to throw them away.”
Teacher Zhou choked as he held up the pencil that was as long as a child’s thumb.
Even Teacher Zhou had almost given up several times because of the tough conditions. However, his heart always softened whenever he saw the children’s inquisitive gazes. That was why he had stayed up until today.
