Chapter 1262 Huge Difference between Day and Nigh
Since Zhai Hua had been thinking of breaking up with Tian Dong, what happened only served to affirm her decision. She would stop thinking about him as time passed.
She had spent a longer time with Wei De than Tian Dong. Since she could forget Wei De, it was not difficult to let go of Tian Dong.
After spending more than one week with their grandpa, father, and auntie during the National Day holiday, the triplets were getting used to having them in the house. Er Bao and San Bao were very attached to Zhai Sheng. They would play coquette and hug his leg. Although Da Bao did not behave like them, he no longer rejected Zhai Sheng when he carried him.
Although the triplets liked to be in Zhai Sheng’s embrace, there was still a habit of theirs that they were unable to change.
Unless Qiao Nan laid on one side and blocked Zhai Sheng from their views, the triplets could not accept that Zhai Sheng laid on the same bed with their mother and them.
The triplets knew that they were not Zhai Sheng’s match. Therefore, when they realized that Zhai Sheng lay on the same bed as them, they would try to push him away from the bed or to resort to crying, finding ways to send him away.
Unless the triplets were asleep, Zhai Sheng could not share the same bed as his wife.
Zhai Sheng never expected that this would happen after he had children.
On the day Zhai Sheng left his house for the army camp, the triplets had a death grip on his calf, stopping Zhai Sheng from leaving. They looked heartbroken. Miao Jing and Zhai Hua felt saddened at such a sight. They were, after all, father and children. The same blood flowed in their veins. The triplets were very sensible and they could not bear to part with Zhai Sheng.
Unlike Miao Jing and Zhai Hua who were moved to tears by the children, Zhai Sheng had different feelings when his children hugged his legs, refusing to let him leave. He was glad that his children loved him, but he felt gloomy at the same time.
He could not understand why the triplets would behave differently in the daytime and the nighttime.
During the daytime, they would pester him to play with them and hug them. When it was nighttime, they forbade him from sharing a bed with Nan Nan. They seemed like three little devils who insisted on kicking him out of his wife’s bed.
It would be good if they could behave in the same way during the nighttime. Zhai Sheng would be happier to acknowledge the fact that he was the father of three children.
Since his family was around, he would not embarrass Qiao Nan by saying what he really felt. But he was making a silent promise with the triplets in his mind. If they really liked their father, when he was back next time, they must sleep in another room, while he shared a bed with his wife.
“Papa.” San Bao, who was the fastest in learning how to speak, was able to pronounce ‘papa’ accurately. The young lady had tears in her eyes. She pursed her lips and turned teary-eyed. She kept brushing her cheeks against Zhai Sheng’s calf and calling him ‘papa’.
As the eldest brother, although Da Bao could not bear for Zhai Sheng to leave, he seemed more angry than sad, puffing his cheeks.
Da Bao grabbed Zhai Sheng’s trouser leg. He felt perplexed. If his mama could stay with them every day, why couldn’t his papa do that? Why did he have to leave after such a short time? Could it be that his papa did not love them as much as his mama did?
As the cheeky child among the three children, Er Bao openly displayed his anger. He seemed like a horse that was fuming through the nose. He was terribly upset that Zhai Sheng had been home for such a short while and he was leaving again. It took them a long time before they finally accepted Zhai Sheng as their father.
His mama had to go to school and work every day. Why was it that could she return home to them every day while his papa could not do that?
Miao Jing’s heart ached for them. She finally realized that when parents left their children, no matter how young the children were, it would be heartbreaking for them.
Miao Jing reflected on herself once again because of the triplets.
The triplets were awake when Zhai Sheng left for the army. They were aware that he was leaving.
Back then, she and Old Zhai were unable to do that. When they returned home, their two children were already asleep.
Furthermore, it was uncommon to take flights and it was very expensive.
At times, Zhai Yaohui and Miao Jing had to leave early in the morning or late at night in order to catch the train.
The children would wake up to find that their parents had left quietly. To their parents, home was like a hotel, they would have a short stay before they left. They did not feel attached to the family.
It was merely for convenience’s sake.
Miao Jing could not remember if Zhai Sheng and Zhai Hua were upset and had tears back then. Even if they did, she had no idea at all. All these years, and even now that they had grown up, they had never spoken about it or had any complaints or unhappiness about what happened back then.
Zhai Hua walked to stand next to Miao Jing. She reached out toward Miao Jing and hugged her. “Mom, don’t think too much. It is all in the past. The past was not important. What is important is the present and the future. Zhai Sheng and I are doing well. Zhai Sheng is already married with kids. Don’t you feel that he has never been this happy before?”
Zhai Hua had sorted out her thoughts and was able to let go of her unhappiness in the past.
Back then, her parents neglected her and Zhai Sheng. They did not really take care of them. But now, they were sincere in making compensations.
Unlike the triplets, she would not bear grudges about what happened in the past and stay angry with her parents.
She was once rebellious and aggrieved, but she had put everything behind her. More importantly, they led a happy and blessed life now.
Miao Jing turned her head to a side, feeling embarrassed. She sniffed. “Zhai Sheng is going back to the army, but you have not changed to your military uniform. Aren’t you going back to the army?” She thought that since her son and daughter returned home together, they would leave for the army together as well.
Zhai Hua shook her head. “Mom, I forgot to tell you that I have transferred to another position.”
“Transferred to another position? Why would you agree to it? Could it be that something has happened and you are suffering in silence? We will not stir up troubles, but we are not afraid of fighting for what’s right either. Tell me. What is it? You have your old master, your dad, and Zhai Sheng to support you. Nobody can dream of bullying the Zhai family!” Miao Jing was uptight and angry.
It was true that the Zhai family had just moved to the capital for slightly more than a year and they did not have many connections here.
But the Zhai family would not be easily bullied!
“Mom, don’t get so anxious. Listen to me. I applied for the transfer. Nobody is making things difficult for me. I did it willingly.”
