1151 Take Care a Little
Most probably, Qiao Nan would be able to revert to her pre-pregnancy figure without much effort after giving birth.
The auntie knew that young ladies nowadays liked to look pretty and wanted to slim down.
As such, the auntie had done some research before she prepared the nourishment food for Qiao Nan.
Qiao Nan’s tummy was almost six months old. She was easily tired and sleepy, and other pregnancy symptoms also followed.
It was most probably because she was carrying twins. Usually, other pregnant women would display symptoms of swollen legs after being pregnant for six months, especially from the eighth month onward.
There were still a few days left before Qiao Nan’s tummy turned six months old but her legs had already begun to swell.
Fortunately, it was not too swollen. Otherwise, Qiao Nan would not be able to wear her shoes.
“Mom, Nan Nan seems to be falling asleep more easily.” After helping Qiao Nan upstairs and lay on the bed, Zhai Hua asked worriedly when she came downstairs. “Is this really okay?”
“Of course it is fine. The more she sleeps, the faster the fetuses in her womb grow.” Miao Jing was happily smiling. “However, Nan Nan is still very young. She’s pregnant with two children at the same time. It’s really tough on her.” Unfortunately, when Nan Nan was painstakingly carrying the children, her son, the initiator, was not by Nan Nan’s side to take care of her.
This was an extremely sad issue for a military wife.
The men of the Zhai family were always like that. They did not let down their country and the citizens. However, they always let their family, especially their wives, down.
“Nan Nan’s temper is good. She has never behaved like a spoiled child. It’s so tough but she has never derided Zhai Sheng before. It’s Zhai Sheng’s good fortune to have married Nan Nan.” Even when she was younger, she could not be as big-hearted as Nan Nan.
When she was just pregnant with Hua Hua, she suffered from severe morning sickness, yet Zhai Yaohui was not by her side. She had cried a few times because of this.
Zhai Hua smiled too. “Yes, Nan Nan is different from the typical young ladies. Ladies who do not have a temperament like that of Nan Nan really can’t be part of our Zhai family.”
Looking at Zhai Hua, who was feeling happy for Zhai Sheng and Qiao Nan, Miao Jing’s mood changed and she glared at Zhai Hua unhappily. That glare made Zhai Hua feel baffled. “Mom, what’s wrong with you? Who has annoyed you?” Weren’t they chatting happily earlier? If other people had provoked her mother, the latter should vent her frustration on others. She was so aggrieved.
Miao Jing snorted twice. “Besides you, who else?”
“Me?” Zhai Hua pointed at her own nose in disbelief. “When did I anger you?” Even though she was her biological mother, she could not malign her either.
“I wish to be a maternal grandmother. I also wish to pamper you and treat you like a queen. When are you going to give me the chance to treat you like my ancestor?” Miao Jing slanted her eyes and looked at Zhai Hua.
Qiao Nan’s treatment at the Zhai family had been improving in a rectilinear way. Although Zhai Hua treated Qiao Nan better than she did everyone else, she would occasionally sound sour in front of Miao Jing on purpose.
Miao Jing remembered all those words.
After the phone call with Tian Dong’s mother today, Miao Jing might as well dig up past scores and demand an explanation from her daughter. “Dongzi and you have been dawdling for half a year. What do you mean by this? If it’s not possible between Dongzi and you, we can forget about the past six months. We should not waste another six months. Mom will arrange blind dates for you. If the two of you have feelings for each other, quickly express yourself clearly. Both of you are not young anymore. I don’t understand why you are always dawdling.”
When Miao Jing started to berate Zhai Hua, her tone was full of disdain.
Zhai Hua’s face swelled in red after her mother gave her a scolding. “Mom, will anyone talk to their own daughter in this way? Isn’t it quite good for me to maintain the status quo with Dongzi? I am not young anymore but I have to observe him too. Nan Nan has said that I cannot be anxious when it comes to marriage. Spending more time to observe is always better. It’s better to make a late decision than to divorce quickly next time.”
There was also another issue. All this while, Tian Dong had never made himself clear.
Zhai Hua had her own pride and dignity. If Tian Dong were to reveal some feelings, Zhai Hua would not dawdle so much either.
There was no hurry in getting married but they could date first.
Since Tian Dong did not say anything, Zhai Hua might as well play dumb.
If the day came whereby they could not continue acting foolish, Zhai Hua had the same thought as Miao Jing. If Tian Dong was gone, they could find another man.
Anyway, Qiao Nan had two children in her womb now. At most, she could treat her niece and nephew as daughter and son respectively, no?
At this moment, men only had one use to Zhai Hua, which was to have a child.
Zhai Hua had put away Wei De’s matter in her heart. However, some repercussions were arising from the matter. Zhai Hua lost the kind of trust that she previously had for men.
Now, Tian Dong was quite good to her. He even fawned on her family for her sake.
However, who could guarantee that Tian Dong would remain like that forever? When a man changed, it was faster than flipping a book.
Anyway, Zhai Hua knew in her heart that she was no longer willing to focus all her feelings on a man. Only her family would not betray or give up on her.
After having such thoughts, both Zhai Hua and Tian Dong got along very naturally. Tian Dong did not speak about it. Zhai Hua was neither anxious nor angry. She really went along with Tian Dong in the ‘game’.
Since it was hard to tell the eventual outcome, they would let nature take its course.
Looking at Zhai Hua, who did not seem to be bothered, Miao Jing did not have a way. Anyway, no matter what she said, her daughter would not listen. She was very sick of saying the same things repeatedly.
Qiao Nan, who was pregnant, was also quite curious about Tian Dong and Zhai Hua’s relationship. She wanted to ask how much longer these two wished to dawdle.
However, Qiao Nan received a phone call before she could ask Zhai Hua. “Hello, Dad… Yes, it’s me. Is there any matter? Oh, my child and I are doing quite well.”
Qiao Dongliang, who was at the other end of the phone, sounded a little hesitant. “Nan Nan…”
“…”
At the sound of Qiao Dongliang’s tone, Qiao Nan pursed her lips. After acquiescing once, she refused to speak further or ask Qiao Dongliang what he wanted to tell her.
“…”
Qiao Dongliang could not bring himself to say it, but Ding Jiayi, who was standing behind him and stretching her neck, tugged at Qiao Dongliang’s clothes to urge him to continue.
Wouldn’t a phone call to the capital cost money?
Furthermore, this was a trans-provincial call.
Qiao Dongliang’s brows stiffened as he pushed Ding Jiayi away from him. “Isn’t this the summer vacation period? Your sister wishes to go to the capital for a holiday. Your sister is not familiar with the people and places in the capital. Can you take care of her a little?”
“What do you mean by there is only Zijin? Our family of three is going!” Ding Jiayi was not pleased. She raised her voice, hoping Qiao Nan could hear her words directly.
Her daughter was considered to have ‘married over’ to the capital. By right, as the in-laws, they should not even need to make this call. The Zhai family did not even know such courtesy? Shouldn’t they extend an invitation?
